People have become convinced that the world as we know it could all end tomorrow and there is a very specific reason why.
In fact, it has led some people to quit their jobs and one man even sold his car after hearing the news.
This all comes after a South African pastor issued a warning that the Earth will begin to ‘shake’ with ‘such power’ starting from tomorrow (September 23).
This isn’t the first time that people have predicted that the world will come to an end.

Back in 2012, many believed that doomsday was upon us as this coincided with the conclusion of the Mayan calendar.
Then, again in 2020, many feared it could be the end of time due to a prediction from Jeane Dixon, who had also predicted the assassination of President John F Kennedy.
Now, it looks like another theory is upon us with many believing that the pastor, Joshua Mhlakela, could be onto something.

Mhlakela appeared on the CENTTWINZ TV YouTube channel, where he claimed that God will come to ‘rescue the Christians out of the world’ on September 23 and 24, 2025.
Coincidentally, this is the same day that Rosh Hashanah, or the Feast of Trumpets, is taking place.
Rosh Hashanah is a holy day marking the beginning of the Jewish new year. In a prophetic sense, for many Christians, it signifies the rapture - the return of Christ.
The pastor explained that on Rosh Hashanah, God’s judgement would leave the world ‘unrecognizable’.

He also alleged that the rapture would happen with ‘such power’ that it would cause the Earth to ‘shake’.
“The rapture is upon us, whether you are ready or not,” he said in an interview with Innocent & Millicent Cent. “I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon’.”
Mhlakela’s prophecy claiming Jesus would make his ‘grand return’ later this week has spread like wildfire on social media.
RaptureTok has well and truly taken over TikTok, with some believers requesting that Jesus allow them to take their dogs to heaven.

“I ask God all the time to please take my dogs when we’re raptured,” said one user, according to the New York Post.
People are also reportedly quitting their jobs in preparation for them and their Christian neighbours being lifted up into the sky by the Son of God.
“They are selling their cars, clothes, some people are making post-rapture kits for the people who are left behind,” remarked stand-up comedian Kevin Fredericks.

He also questioned the date’s validity, claiming that if the rapture was ‘definitely’ happening on September 23, then wouldn’t it take place at a different time across the world?
“What time zone is it happening in? Because the whole thing about the rapture that I was taught was that no man knows the date or the hour…
“There are 24 time zones on Earth, 38 if you include the ones that have half-hour times. No man knows how you all know,” he said in a reel.
