"So imagine my relief when I opened TikTok on Saturday and learned that it'll all be over soon. Personally, I always imagined the end of the world would be caused by an asteroid, or maybe a nuclear "oopsie" from one of our dumb leaders. But no! According to the Christians on TikTok, the end of the world is Tuesday, September 23. I guess Taylor Swift's team didn't get the memo in time."
"This latest rapture date came from a South African pastor named Joshua Mhlakela, who posted a "message" about it on YouTube in July. He said he'd had a dream: "I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, 'I am coming soon.'" He clarified that Jesus would be touching down "on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025."
2025 featured political controversies including efforts to ban the abortion pill, RFK Jr.'s prominence, and debates over Democrats nominating "pro-life" candidates. TikTok communities labeled RaptureTok circulated a prediction that Jesus will return on September 23–24, 2025, originating from South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela, who described a dream of Jesus declaring "I am coming soon." The prediction gained momentum over the summer and intensified after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, which some believers interpreted as a divine sign. Users shared preparations and strategies for surviving or managing life after the predicted rapture.
