The rapture didn’t happen as predicted in viral video by a ‘prophet’ — and now true believers are depressed

This “second coming” was downright underwhelming!

The anticipated Rapture failed to occur on Tuesday as a “prophet” had claimed in a viral video, leading some devotees to resign from their jobs, liquidate their assets, and skip examinations—leaving many ardent believers feeling profoundly dejected.

On Wednesday, followers flooded social media with their sorrow over the disappointment of not being whisked away to Heaven, as promised by Joshua Mhlakela from South Africa, who gained fame for a YouTube video that captured the attention of TikTok users.

“I skipped my exams because I [thought] it was pointless,” lamented a heartbroken follower on TikTok, accompanied by a crying emoji—realizing just one day later that the end was not actually occurring. “Now look at me.”

A somber video from what appears to be a religious influencer titled “My Apologies” also generated numerous regret-filled comments under the hashtag #rapturenow.

“I stand before you with all humility to apologize to everyone who witnessed me promote brother Joshua’s dates for the 23rd and 24th of September as the Rapture,” the individual was seen stating in a TikTok video posted on Wednesday.

Another follower shared a clip of herself crying while brushing her hair.

“POV: You didn’t get raptured and now have to prepare for work,” her caption reads.

In the original viral clip, Mhlakela—who described himself as a “simple person” rather than a pastor—claimed in June that Jesus visited him in a dream back in 2018.

“God took me to witness the future, and then he brought me back,” he shared, stating that the Lord revealed, “On the 23rd and 24th of September, 2025, I will return to take my church.”

Mhlakela did not respond to inquiries from The Post on Wednesday.

His prediction swiftly gained traction on TikTok, with the hashtag accumulating over 300,000 videos, as some followers scrambled to prepare for the supposed grand arrival of Jesus.

In preparation, some adherents disposed of their vehicles, advised others to avoid weekend plans, and left their homes open for those who they believed were not “saved.”

Many evangelical Christians interpret Biblical scriptures to predict the Rapture—a significant end-time event signifying the commencement of the apocalypse. The verses indicate that Jesus will return to gather followers “to the clouds to meet the Lord in the air,” according to the Christian New Testament.

However, even after it became clear that “the saved” were not ascending to heaven on Wednesday, some followers used the inaccurate prediction as evidence that a second coming is still imminent.

“The Bible states there will be false prophets when the time is approaching,” one believer posted.

Another insisted, “Someone said it was postponed until next week.”
