"During a livestream that has now been deleted from social media, Mhlakela tried to explain why no one was being raptured on the night of the 23rd, preaching patience, saying 'the Lord is on his way' and he was coming 'with a host of angels.' 'I wonder how God works this out, in terms of the minute and the second,' Mhlakela added as the hours passed and the clock changed to September 24 with no Rapture."
"Social media platforms have been flooded with Rapture-related videos from devastated believers who were so convinced Doomsday was coming they gave away their prized possessions. One Australian man, Tilahun Desalegn, shared a clip of his car being towed away, saying: 'I won't need her beyond September, because I'm going home to where my father in heaven is.' 'Car is gone just like the Brides of Christ will be in September,' Desalegn wrote on the video."
Pastor Joshua Mhlakela claimed Jesus appeared to him in a vision and would return during the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, between September 22 and 24. The predicted Second Coming and Rapture failed to occur on September 23, and a related livestream was deleted after Mhlakela urged patience and said the Lord was coming with angels. Many faith leaders and Christian influencers apologized for spreading the prediction amid furious online backlash. Social media filled with videos of devastated believers who gave away prized possessions in expectation of Doomsday, including one man who had his car towed.
