A rare and emotionally charged video showing a group of African Christians in fervent anticipation of the Rapture has surfaced online, igniting a wave of reactions across social media platforms.
The footage, originally shared by Centtwinz Productions and later amplified by TikTok’s viral #RaptureTok trend, captures believers in prayer, worship, and solemn readiness for what they believe to be the imminent Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The movement gained traction following South African preacher Joshua Mhlakela’s prophecy that the Rapture would occur between September 23 and 24, coinciding with Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year2.
In one of the most widely circulated clips, titled WE ARE READY FOR RAPTURE, a young believer shares her testimony of spiritual transformation and readiness, declaring, “God saw me fit not to have one foot in the world anymore.” The video has drawn thousands of views and sparked heartfelt discussions about faith, prophecy, and the emotional toll of apocalyptic expectations. Adding to the conversation, Nigerian commentator Abraham Daniel posted a reflective message on Facebook, saying:
