The September 2025 Rapture: The Shocking Truth Behind the Prediction

 

There has been a lot of chatter about the rapture occurring on 9/23/2025—Rosh Hashanah. I can tell you without hesitation and with 100% confidence that the rapture will not occur on 9/23/2025. 

The reason that I can say that is because the rapture is not imminent and has never been imminent and will not be imminent until several things occur first, such as the takeover of the world by the antichrist, the abomination of desolation, and the mark of the beast. 

After those things occur, then and only then, will the rapture be imminent. Thus, the rapture will not occur on Rosh Hashanah this year, I can 100% guarantee it because of what God’s Word says. Here is one of the supporting Bible passages. 

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 

Our gathering unto Him is the rapture. 

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 

The day of Christ/rapture is not at hand, not imminent. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 

4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

Don’t be deceived these things must happen before the rapture; the antichrist must come to power, and perform the abomination of desolation. 

5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 2 Thes 2 

So, what do those verses say? Let’s sum it up; the rapture—coming of our Lord Jesus Christ—will not occur until after the abomination of desolation occurs when he sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. 

So, NO RAPTURE ON ROSH HASHANAH IN 2025! 

Now, what I see as the possible next major prophetic event, which may occur this fall and may be around Rosh Hashanah, is the dividing of the land of Israel. 

And if that occurs, my prophetic research has led me to believe that great earthquakes will occur throughout the world, even possibly the dividing of the USA—think New Madrid fault, as you listen to this bit of nostalgia. 

 

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

A Rapture Conversation

One of the most controversial and hotly debated questions among Christians in the recent past has been the timing of the rapture. It is very important to have a correct rapture view—very important. Below is a hypothetical rapture conservation which I hope will help Christians come to a better understanding of the rapture’s timing.

Question: Do you believe the scriptures, God’s Holy Word, the Bible, are the final authority in all matters of doctrine?

Answer: Yes, of course I do.

Question: According to the scriptures below, is the rapture part of an event known as the Day of the Lord?

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 1 Thes 4:15-5:2

1 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him,

2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 2 Thes 2:1,2

Answer: Yes, I see that the rapture is part of the Day of the Lord event.

Question: According to the scripture below, what happens before the Day of the Lord begins?

The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come: Acts 2:20

Answer: Well, it says that the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood before the Day of the Lord begins.

Question: According to the scripture below, when is the sun darkened and the moon turned to blood?

And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; Rev 6:12

Answer: The sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood after the Sixth Seal is opened.

Question: Does scripture tell us that there Is any other time during the end times that the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood?

Answer: No.

Statement: We can therefore conclude that according to scriptures, the rapture, as an event of the Day of the Lord, must occur after the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood, which we know occurs after the Sixth Seal is opened.

Question: Do you agree with this statement?

Answer: I am not sure, that is a new concept to me, I have never had it explained to me like that before. I have always believed that the rapture will occur at the beginning, before Seal 1.

Question: I understand what you are saying. Let me show you a confirmation that the rapture occurs after Seal 6 is opened. According to the scriptures below, what do people see after the Sixth Seal is opened?

12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;

13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

16 And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

Answer: They see the Lord.

Question: From your knowledge of scripture, during the end times when do people see the Lord?

Answer: At the rapture and at Armageddon.

Question: Which one of the two is the passage above referring to?

Answer: The Sixth Seal does not involve Armageddon, so it would have to be the rapture.

So you have affirmed;

1. The rapture is part of the day of the Lord.

2. That the sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood before the day of the lord.

3. The sun is darkened and the moon is turned to blood after the opening of Seal 6.

Therefore sound logic dictates that the rapture/day of the Lord event occurs after Seal 6 is opened and the sun is darkened and the moon turns to blood. And to confirm this you have also just agreed that Jesus appears in the sky after the opening of seal 6 and that this is not at Armageddon, so it has to be at the rapture.

Thus; you have just logically concluded and thereby proved that the rapture does not occur until after the opening of Seal 6. What do you believe now about the timing of the rapture?

Answer: __________________________.

So if the rapture will not happen until Seal 6 is opened, that means that all that are alive at the time will be faced with living through Seals 1 to 5. And there is a possibility that the Seals may already have been opened.

Remember; the truth shall set you free.

Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man. Luke 21:36

Not sure that you will go to heaven? The end times are knocking on the door and so is Jesus. He wants to save you; will you let him in?
