Pastor says vision told him Jesus will return to Earth this month
A South African pastor recently claimed that Jesus could be making a return on Sept. 23, with the Feast of Trumpets ringing in the Rapture and Judgment Day.
In a viral YouTube video, Pastor Joshua Mhlakela claims he saw Jesus in a divine vision returning to Earth during this year’s Rosh Hashanah — a date some Christians are already linking to prophecy.
“The rapture is upon us, whether you are ready or not,” Mhlakela said in a sit-down interview with CettwinzTV and said.
“I saw Jesus sitting on his throne, and I could hear him very loud and clear saying, ‘I am coming soon.’”
The pastor added, “He said to me on the 23rd and 24th of September 2025, ‘I will come back to the Earth.’”
Beneath the YouTube video, many commenters also seemed convinced that the pastor was onto something.
“My 10yr daughter dreamt of the rupture recently,” one wrote as another user added, “Wow, I can read people and Joshua is 100% telling the truth. I never even listen to videos claiming visions, but God told me to watch this.”

Texas pastor warns white parents about Black people
A clip of a Texas pastor's racist remarks on a Christian podcast has gone viral after he told white parents to have "the talk" with their children about race, casting Black people as more dangerous than white people.
In the clip, Joel Webbon — an Austin-area pastor known in part for his alt-right beliefs — said white parents should steer their children away from certain places and people before he called a theoretical crowd of Black strangers "30 times" more dangerous than a crowd of white people.
"It is actually a failure of your parental duty — white parents, please hear me — if you teach your children growing up, if you lie to them, and say all people and all races of people in our country are the same," Webbon said in the podcast clip. "They are not. You are actually depriving your child of factual, truthful information that could save their life."
Webbon has previously suggested women shouldn't have the right to vote, when asked to envision a "Christian nation" during a 2023 podcast.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
