2026 World Cup and Rapture Prediction Fact Check
Low Credibility
1 verified, 1 misleading, 2 false, 1 unverifiable out of 5 claims analyzed
The video combines factual dates, such as the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on June 11, with unverifiable and false prophetic claims about the rapture, resurrection, and tournament cancellation. While the tournament date is accurate, the assertion that the World Cup will end prematurely due to a supernatural event is without any credible evidence and contradicts all official plans. The religious resurrection timeline presented lacks scientific or historical basis and misinterprets biblical accounts. Consequently, the overall credibility of the video is very low, with predominantly unsubstantiated claims rooted in personal prophecy rather than verifiable fact.
Claims Analysis
The 2026 FIFA World Cup will start on June 11, 2026, with Mexico vs South Africa.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup is officially scheduled to start on June 11, 2026. Mexico is confirmed as a qualified team, and South Africa is in the African qualification confederation with a good chance to qualify, although final teams are not yet decided. Therefore, the claim about the tournament starting on that date is accurate; however, the specific first match between Mexico and South Africa cannot be confirmed at this time.
The 2026 World Cup tournament will not finish and will be canceled 12 days after it starts due to the rapture.
There is no credible evidence or announcements from FIFA or any soccer governing bodies indicating the cancellation or interruption of the World Cup in 2026. FIFA tournaments are planned years in advance and cancellations would be major news. This claim originates from prophecy and is not supported by factual information or historical precedent.
The rapture will occur on June 16-17, 2026, marking a resurrection and transformation period culminating in glorified bodies at Pentecost on June 22, 2026.
The concept of the 'rapture' is a religious belief without empirical evidence or scientific foundation. Specific dates for eschatological events like resurrection or rapture have historically failed to materialize. There is no support for the claim that such events will occur on these dates in 2026, and the detailed timeline given lacks any verifiable basis beyond individual religious interpretation.
God is currently reversing death in those who have died in Christ, beginning May 4, 2026, leading up to Pentecost.
This spiritual claim about divine actions reversing death is based on personal faith and religious interpretation. It is impossible to empirically verify or falsify such supernatural claims, and no scientific evidence exists regarding resurrection powers initiating on specific future dates.
The biblical story of Lazarus' resurrection supports a 50-day resurrection power timeline.
The story of Lazarus in the Bible states he was dead four days before resurrection, not that it took 50 days to reverse death. The video extrapolates a 50-day period from unrelated biblical timelines (e.g., Pentecost being 50 days after Passover) to fit the prophecy narrative. This is a reinterpretation rather than a literal scriptural fact.
Hi, this is Don 333. My brothers and sisters get very, very
excited. Um but before I start, let me just quickly share a little uh testimony.
Um as you can see, I'm using uh my laptop. Um before I traveled to um
Nigeria, this laptop was not working well at all. So, um I basically wanted it fixed.
So, I uh sent it to Asus Asus notebooks. They're the ones that made the the laptop. So,
basically what they do, they'll they'll pick it up and then they'll give you a quote. So, they'll collect it, give you
a quote. If you want to pay the money, they'll fix it, you pay, you get it back. If you think it's too much,
they'll send it back to you unfixed, but you have to pay for the um the the charge for them to send it back to you.
But if you don't want to pay the service charge, you can tell them to get rid of it and you don't pay anything at all.
So, those are the three that they uh gave me. So, I I I was this was 3 weeks before me traveling to Nigeria. It
didn't come back before they didn't give me a quote before I I left. I came back and this is about almost after a month
now over over a month. And then I just sent an email, "Hey, where's where's my laptop? Where's the
quote?" And they said, "Oh, sorry, we we couldn't send you the the quote because um
you we we had the wrong email." So, I asked them, "So, what's the quote?" They told me 700
pounds. I bought the laptop for 800 pounds. I am not paying
700 pounds to have it fixed. So, I said, "Okay, um you know what? Um how much for it to be returned without it being
fixed?" They said 100 pounds. You know what? I said, "I'm not going to bother. Keep the
laptop. The laptop's going to happen anyway." And basically that's me without a
laptop, and I was trying to do, as you can see, do videos on my phone, which is not really great.
Um so, that's what I That's what happened. I wasn't expecting to get the laptop back. Lo and behold,
I got um a DHL package, and it was a laptop. Oh, wait a minute. Why did they send it
back? I thought they were not to send it back. I'm not paying 100 bucks, 100 pounds.
Um and basically, I opened it up. I I I plugged it in, and it They fixed it.
They fixed it free of charge. So, they didn't charge me anything for the return. They didn't charge me for
fixing it. They just fixed it, and they returned it. And um so, I've got a a a a brand new
laptop back, and it's working fine, and that's why I'm making this video. So, just to go to show, when you're doing
God's work, he will provide for you. So, just as a little testimony there. So, now let's uh get to the topic at hand.
My brothers and sisters, we now fully understand where we are and what's going on. Now, this is the
first match between Mexico and South Africa. That match is meant to start on Thursday, uh 11 June 2026.
My brothers and sisters, this match, this tournament will start. Now, we fully understand um me and my
brothers just were speaking yesterday. We now fully understand that the match will start. They will start this uh
tournament. However, it is not going to end. Somewhere in between,
the rapture is going to happen, and this tournament will not end. There is not going to be the handing over of a World
Cup on July 19, my brothers and sisters. This day will not come to pass. This final is not going to happen. This is
what and brother Joshua was being told. There would not be any World Cup because the rapture is going to happen
some point in between this tournament. When is it going to happen? And that's the reason for this video.
Okay. So, this is what I just explained explained to you. No World Cup 2026.
Life won't be business as usual for those left behind. So, my brothers and sisters,
this is what I just explained. No World Cup 2026 means no trophy will be handed at the end of the games because the
tournament will be canceled 12 days after it starts. See that? My brothers and sisters,
that's how much time we have. 12 days. Now, this is what brother Joshua was was told.
The 14th and the 15th will pass. The 16th and the 17th will be the rapture of the church.
You notice what I put here. First fruits. And uh for the 16th and 17th is uh
deliverance. Why is that? Because this is for the resurrection of the saints. This is for us
who have um been delivered. We are still alive. The
the dead in Christ. This is what's happening right now. The power of the resurrection is has gone forth already.
We may not feel it. You may not perceive it, but it's gone forth. Like I wrote here, the Lord's resurrection power
started reversing death in the dead in Christ from day 16th month one on Monday 4th
May 2026. The Lord's transformation power started working in us from day 17th month one on
Tuesday 5th of May. And let's go to the calendar. Can I get it to come out? Let me see.
Okay, yes, this is good. Now, remember the first month we discount the first month because that's not the correct
month. So, um the second month is the first month and that's why this is the correct first
Passover. And they put it here as second. This is the correct first Passover because we're looking at the
constellation Aries. Everyone knows about that. So, this is the Passover. 14 15 will pass this past and this is
the day that the resurrection power for those who died in Christ has been working. So, this power is working right
now, my brothers and sisters. And the power for us to be transformed is also working
right now. So, day 16 and 17. So, when the Lord told brother Joshua, this this these two days will be the rapture of
the church, this is coming to pass right now, my brothers and sisters. Now, where are we going with this?
So, as you can see, the dead in Christ and those of us who are alive are both
are both going to receive our glorified bodies at Pentecost on day 6th month three on Monday 22nd
June 2026. This is when we're going at Pentecost. So,
first fruits, as you can see, the 4th of May uh 2026, and then 50 days exactly gives
us uh Pentecost. So, what this basically means is that yes,
the world the World Cup tournament will start, and the first match will be played.
The first match on June 11th between Mexico and South Africa will go ahead. So, will do second few matches on the
12th, June 13th, 14th. All these matches will be played. But when we get to June 22nd,
that day is going to be the day of the rapture. This will be the day some matches will
be played, some won't be played, but this marks the end of the tournament. It's not going to be business as usual
from this day all the way down to June July 19th. Basically, this tournament is ending after 12
days. My brothers and sisters, so the Lord the word that the Lord spoke
to brother Joshua is coming to pass, just not the way we've been understanding up until now. These days
had to pass. We had to go through all these days. We had to go through Passover, second Passover, to get to
this point because we we won't be able to see it until those days pass. Now they've passed, we now seeing much more
clearly. My brothers and sisters, um so, this is this verse here. This is what's going on at the moment. The
rapture is happening. The power uh the power to raise the dead in Christ, that power is working right now.
Let me just read this. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the savior, the
Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed to his glorious body according to the
working by which he is able even to subdue all things to himself. The Lord's resurrection power is working now in all
those who have died in Christ. The Lord's transform transformation power is also working in us. This power is
working on a level we cannot see or feel. We know it's working because the Lord said so in his word. He also told
brother Joshua the two days of his power the two days his power will start the rapture process. So this rapture process
is ongoing, my brothers and sisters. So that's what people need to understand. There's no
going back now. The the resurrection power is reversing death in those who have died in Christ, but the
transformation power is working in us and that power is going to reach full manifestation on the day of Pentecost,
which is on June 22. So So those who have died in Christ, I want to just on the
see that this has happened before where those who died God reverses death. And it takes time to do it. In the In
the case of those who died in Christ, it's going to take 50 days to reverse death.
So and you know, that's that's what's happening in those who died in Christ. But let me
show you a similar situation in scripture. So this is not just way out there. Now
this is uh We all know the story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus. I'm just going to read this
text here. Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus. So when he heard that he
was sick, he stayed two more days in the place where he was. Do you notice that?
He was dead for two days. But the Lord decided to stay two more days. Why did he do that?
I'll show you in a moment. Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go to Judea again."
So when Jesus came, he found that he had already been in the tomb four days. Jesus said, "Take away the stone."
Martha, who was dead, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for she has for he has been dead for
four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe, you would see
the glory of God?" In other words, my brothers and sisters, when the Lord got the news, I'm just
reading what I wrote to make it very clear. The Lord's resurrection power started
working in the body of Lazarus the moment Jesus made the decision to visit his tomb in
Judea. By the time the Lord got the news of Lazarus' death,
he had been dead for two days. For this reason, the Lord spent the next two days reversing the effects of death
in the body of Lazarus. This is how the Lord Jesus Christ loved Lazarus, Martha, and Mary. The Lord
didn't need to be at the tomb of Lazarus to reverse the decaying process in his body.
Once the decaying Once the decaying process in the body of Lazarus had completely been reversed, the Lord
showed up at his tomb and spoke the words that brought back um brought Lazarus back to life. "Lazarus, come
forth." And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth.
Jesus said to them, "Loose him and let him go." So, you see basically what the Lord did.
The body had decayed over 2 days. The stench was in the body 2 days. So, the Lord said, "Oh, I'm
going to wait 2 days." In other words, the the resurrection the resurrection power to reverse that decay, the
resurrection power to reverse that stench had been working for 2 more days. And then he said,
"Okay, let's go." Mhm? Let's go. We're going to Now, he needs to be there to raise him up.
You see, my brothers and sisters. So, that's the same thing that's happened. God is reversing death
in those who have died in Christ and he's doing it over 50 days, starting from When did he When did he start uh
from? He started from um what date? Started from Monday the 4th of May.
This is when he started to reverse death. And he's going to do that all the way up to Pentecost,
50 days later. And then he's going to descend, and then he's going to call them from the grave
after 50 days of reversing the decay and death. And with those of us who are alive, we
Don't forget we are alive. So, we are being transformed. That's why the the the
the Lord gave 2 days. The day of uh um resurrection.
The day of first fruits for those who died in Christ. That's on the 16th, as you can see here. Day 16, that's
uh um May 4th, and 17 is deliverance for us. That is uh May
uh 5th. But, both of us, those who died in Christ and those who are alive, we are
going to receive our glorified bodies on the same day. However, the dead in Christ, they're going to
rise first. That's first fruits, and then we're going to be changed, and then we're
going to follow them immediately uh after that. And then both of us are going to arrive in heaven at Pentecost
in on June um 22, my brothers and sisters. So, how
much time do we have left? We have 30 days, 10 hours, 20 minutes. So, by sunset
uh Monday, June 22 by this time, it may it may it could happen in the morning, you know, the
Pentecost was in the morning when it when it happened the first time, but it could happen at at any point within that
24-hour window, but it's one day. So, the last day is Pentecost, my brothers and sisters.
Get excited. Yes, the World Cup will start. I know a lot of people will will are going to lose their minds. They're
going to call uh brother Joshua. They're going to say, "Oh, he's a false prophet because he didn't come to pass. He said
that the tournament won't start." No, he didn't say that. He simply How we understood it, we thought it was the
tournament that will not start. No, that's not what the Lord said. The Lord said
Let's read Let's read it. He said, "The there will be no World Cup. There will no There will be no World Cup
in 2026." In other words, that the tournament is not going to end. It will start. And we're going to That's
going to It's going to start on Thursday, but it's not going to end because in the midst of the tournament,
about almost halfway in, that is when the rapture will take place. And as soon as it takes place, the tournament is
over. They will not continue the tournament. So, that's what's going to happen. This
is what we understand now. All the pieces are in place, and we've kind of gone through this journey, and please
don't let anybody steal your crown. Don't let anybody tell you, "Oh, don't believe the message." Because this is
going to happen. The resurrection power is has gone forth. The rapture power has gone forth. The transformation power has
gone forth. And God is just waiting for the the time to play out and we are going to receive our glorified bodies
uh on June 22nd um 2026. So, I hope this uh message encourages you. It's only Well, how many
days? It's just only 13 days. Just Just under 2 weeks and we're out of here. My brothers and sisters, stand true.
Be in the word. Be in prayer. And I'll see you all in glory. Bye for now.
