A viral social media trend called “RaptureTok” has taken over TikTok after a South African pastor predicted that the Rapture will happen on September 23rd and 24th, 2025. Some Christians have quit their jobs and sold their belongings in preparation for what they believe will be the end times.
The prediction comes from Pastor Joshua Mhlakela, who shared his vision on the I’ve Been Through The Most podcast in June 2025. His claims have spread across social media platforms, creating a mix of genuine preparation and internet memes.
