Fact Check: Claims About Joshua's Rapture Prophecy and Related Teachings

6 months ago or so, I was involved in a fiasco involving a man named Joshua who claimed that the Lord Jesus Christ

appeared to him in his bedroom and told him the timing of the rapture. >> And I hear God speak to me from the sky.

>> His next date in April will fail too. At what point do you become an idoltor? Joshua now is talking of April. There's

another rapture he is anticipating. Now, April, think about it. Now, I tell you a

mystery. Don't you learn? We are not saying no. We are saying date setting is wrong. We are not saying he

rapture is doesn't exist. We will be raptured. But let us refrain or stop from setting date. Date setters are the

problem. >> I foolishly believe that this man truly had

heard from the Lord. >> It's high time. It's high time we start seeking the voice of God. Not what

someone believes is true. This is what Joshua believe is true. >> To this day, my testimony is tainted.

It's broken and I am still paying a heavy price for ever being involved in that situation.

Greetings children of God. My name is Mani back again with another video. I'm back again with another one. Hey.

Yeah. You know, yesterday was crazy. Mr. Joshua, as you saw, go and watch my other video I did around Mr. Joshua's uh

video where I was analyzing the video. As I was analyzing the video, I went through to the send twins uh platform

and I was reading through the comments. Boom, I see the comment of medic for Christ. Medic for Christ. For those who

don't know, Medic for Christ was the person who gave Mr. Joshua a platform, a platform where he was going to be

rapturing as the world watches, right? And I watched that during that rapture time. But now Medic for Christ is like,

"Nah, Mr. Joshua, you are a false prophet. Tell people the truth." He responds, "Hey, may God bless you, be

with you today. I declare blessings, fresh blessings to you, Basalani." But this is how we start our session. Medic

for Christ responds and I want to read the comments right now then I'll play his video afterwards. But let's let's

see what did Medic for Christ say on the comment section. So Medic for Christ says there's nothing mysterious about I

am coming on the feast of trumpets September 23 24 2025 to rapture my church. Joshua trying to wrap your false

prophecy in mystery to save your skin doesn't make it mysterious. You were wrong and you are a false prophet many

times over. You didn't just say September when that failed. You said Jesus came to you in a dream and said

October. My friend, you did not hear from Jesus. It's time to come to the reality. It's time to come to the

reality. So that was him, right? And with that comment, there were people on that thread who responded back to H

Medic for Christ. I want to read for you. So this person responds to Medic for Christ and says, "Purge your heart

from hate and bitterness. Anyone with the spirit of God will discern that the prophecy actually came from God and the

delay bound to happen to test heart which you are clearly a victim of this moment and another one comes and says he

does he does say the right thing I'm talking about medic yes he has bitterness so they are accusing medic

for Christ they are saying that he has some sort of bitterness but he's just saying that Joshua tell the people the

truth and account take accountability but otherwise they are calling him a chas

you know what no no no this is too much then medic for Christ I'll play the video of medic for Christ medic for

Christ then responds he says the Bible says the prophecy failed and is therefore not of God you stick with your

feelings I'll stick to the word. His next date in April will fail too. At what point do you become an idoltor for

following a false prophet over God's word? That's the question for you. That's a question to everybody. Medic

for Christ. He's saying that no no a failed prophecy is not from God. These are just hey it's delaying. Hey,

somebody delayed now. We are saying we follow the word of God,

not the feelings. >> I repeat, okay, I am not going to repent.

>> Hey, >> I am not going to apologize. >> My God,

>> I repeat, somebody can talk very assertively and confident. It doesn't make them right. And he said something

that caught my attention here. Medic for Christ. He said that Joshua now is talking of Abrael. There's another

rapture. He is anticipating now. Think about it.

>> And I hear God speak to me from the sky >> audibly. >> Audibly

>> not in my spirit >> out in my ear. >> Not a vision.

>> There's not a vision. >> 100% awake walking daylight. >> It's not an open vision. As we are

communicating, don't >> you learn? We are not saying no. We are saying date

setting is wrong. We are not saying hey rapture is it doesn't exist. We will be raptured but let us refrain or stop from

setting date. D date setters are the problem. That's what we are saying. But there were other people as well on the

comment section who were like, "Hey, Laella, you guys can't tell us that. You can't say that Joshua is right. I'm

reading comments for you." Right? There's this person who says, "Paul said, I revealed to you a mystery and

then he revealed the mystery." Paul told us how the resurrection of the saints and rapture will happen. That was the

mystery. The believers did not know how they would be resurrected and given new bodies. He told them how he revealed the

mystery. He was not saying the this is mystery. People please read the Bible for yourself. So basically that's what

Joshua said. Joshua said it's a mystery. Here is a mystery. Paul said it was a mystery. Everything was a mystery.

Paul writes, "Now I tell you a mystery." Okay? And then he goes further for the sake of time. He talks about the

rapture. >> But people who are reading the Bible, as we read the Bible, that's not what Paul

was talking about. So people wouldn't understand how he is going to appear. But the sequence of his coming still

needs to be right. Read the book of Matthew. The sequence needs to come through. You cannot skip the other

sequence and say other a group of church will be taken away. some that will be remaining when he comes everything will

be done and dusted. It's done. It's a done deal. Let's read another comment. If he didn't

receive the understanding, he is not supposed to say anything because the Lord doesn't give confusion. Used many

words to not be accountable. That's true. We have been saying the same thing. God is not the God of confusion.

God is not the God of confusion. We just need accountability. But they are using many words, big

words, confusion. God, my God is not a confused God. But they're painting my God as a confused God. Now look in South

Africa, they are saying they want to close churches, regulate churches because of such things that look now

causes panic. We are saying stop date setting. That's all. How? Why do you still need search the calendar? Hey, the

calendar of the calendar of Hey, Jesus.

Tandy says, "Looks like everyone is standing with Joshua." I'm not. It's high time we start seeking the voice of

God as Christians and not what someone else believe is true. It's high time. It's high time we start seeking the

voice of God. Not what someone believes is true. This is what Joshua believe is true. We what does the Bible say? Yes, I

hear Joshua. You Yes, I understand the brother. But that's what he believe is true. Now you basal we are running with

what someone believes is true. But what does the scripture say? What does it say? Does it say things

like 23 September, 24th September? Does it say that? No, it says that no one knows the date and the hour. Even the

son doesn't know. I don't understand what part of the Bible don't you get on that. Oh,

was a lot. Let me continue with this comment. Just because he's speaking with confidence doesn't mean he's right. Rise

up Christians from your slumber. That's true. Just because somebody speaks confidently, eloquently, they can put

words together and whatn not, it doesn't mean that they are right. Read through the lines and read the scriptures and

see verify. Is that biblical? Do you set dates? Does God come and change his word? Is he

a confused God? No. Then we go to the next one. This one says we must just pray for the

charlatans. This false prophet used by the dark world. Now we are seeing so many false prophets, charlatans. And we

are seeing so much happening and the influence is the Satanists because they'll be SAYING YES YES DO IT. DO IT.

YES. We need the dates. We need the dates. only to make the government to be firm about their decision to say now let

us regulate this thing because the kingdom of the dark loves and feeds from the confusion.

So there's a comment from this person who says I have a question to the people who believe this man and his message. I

am trying with all honesty to understand the mentality of these people. My question is on what grounds do you

believe that which you believe? On what grounds? As Christians, the grounds that we have is the Bible. Then should

anybody walk away from that foundation, then uh-uh, they're not with us. Uh-uh. Should anybody twist or try to adjust

the scripture to fit their narrative, it needs to go according to the context. Get the context of the Bible, then pull

it through, right? Let's go to the other one. This one says he needs prayer. Definitely,

Mr. Joshua needs prayers. Serious serious prayers. Cuz clearly I told you on the last episode, go and watch it

that this spirit feeds on attention and negativity and confusion. This the spirit. Look at it all over. Now you'll

see them on Tik Tok. They're going to go back and on Facebook they're going to go back. Now they're setting dates. Someone

said August, someone said April. So always it has been that many dates changed. We are saying no to date

setters. Yeah, this is what I have as far as the comments. But I want to leave you with

the video of Medic for Christ so you can understand what is he talking about cuz he responded the fact that he was

deceived and he came out on the platform to say look I was deceived and I'm repenting from that but still people are

fighting medic for Christ. They are calling him a Judas. They're calling him this and that. Is that Christianity?

Hh for him believing in the scripture. He says that I I I was not believing. Yes, I was deceived. Yes, I ignored the

scriptures. Yes, I ignored a lot of things. But now I repent and I want to come clean and I've lost a lot. I've

lost credibility. That's the hardest thing one can lose. Credibility from family members, from church, from

wherever. Yo, Basalan, I want us to watch this. This is the video that we are going to part ways with. Just make

sure you watch that and go watch the the the videos from Medic for Christ. He has a YouTube wonderful topics he has there

and speaking about a lot of things. But I want us to watch this video and tell me on the comment section and I will

meet you on the next episode. Basalani I love you babi. >> Hey guys, I want to start out today's

video with scripture. Deuteronomy chapter 18 starting in verse 20. But the prophet who presumes to speak a

word in my name which I have not commanded him to speak or who speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet

shall die. And if you say in your heart, how shall we know the word which the Lord has not spoken. When a prophet

speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not

spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously and you shall not be afraid of him.

Why am I reading this passage today from the book of Deuteronomy? 6 months ago or so, I was involved

in a fiasco involving a man named Joshua who claimed that the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him in his bedroom

and told him the timing of the rapture. He said that on September 23rd and September 24th, 2025 on the feast of

trumpets that the Lord Jesus Christ told him that he would come to rapture his church on that day and that that would

begin the beginning of the tribulation. Now, because of a series of things that were going on at the time and testimony

from other brothers and sisters, I foolishly believed that this man truly had

heard from the Lord. I truly believed that this man really did hear from the Lord and I

supported him, a fact that I am ashamed of to this day. And to this day, my testimony is

tainted. It's broken. And I am still paying a heavy price for

ever being involved in that situation. The live stream that I did had hundreds of thousands of views.

People in my real life recognized me. My boss from my one of my previous jobs who is a very wellrespected man, a man

who I honor and look up to, come to find out had been watching my videos and reaching out to and reached out to me

saying that he was in the know watching what was going on. people in my school, in my career, all of them witnessed

my embarrassment because I chose to trust and believe a man who turned out to be a total false

prophet. And to this day in my comment section, every single day I am still hearing from people who say that I am

discredited, that I should no longer teach, that I should, that I have lost all my credibility, that my testimony is

ruined, and I have to deal with that embarrassment and that taint upon my

testimony for the rest of my life. I am still paying a very heavy price. And there is a part of me

that understands those comments because it's true. I made a choice to trust somebody and I believed somebody

who turned out to be false. And for that fact alone, I took on the responsibility

of that false testimony. But I want to make something very clear that the day

that this testimony was proven to be false, I repented immediately publicly in a way

that few others have to this day. There were many that were involved in this who still to this day because of pride

have refused to republic to publicly repent of being involved. They went back to life as usual, pretended like they

were never involved and continued setting new dates and continued looking at new timelines and they pretended like

they were never a part of it. And to this day they are still in that state. They have not repented. That is not true

of me. The day that it proved to be false, I publicly repented and publicly

humiliated myself in front of the entire internet. And I would do it again. And I did that because in the end, I

owned my mistake. I chose to endorse this man. I chose to believe him, to trust him.

But I want you to understand something that when this day proved to be false, when this prophecy proved to be false, I

had a choice to make. I had an integral choice. I was at a crossroads.

And the choice was, do I stand with the word of God and my savior? Do I stand with the clear testimony of

scripture that I just read to you from the book of Deuteronomy on the standard of a prophet what's required of a

prophet and his prophecy under the test of God's law? Or do I willfully defy

what I know to be true to follow after a golden calf and a man and his false prophecy because I want it

to be true. That was the choice that I that I had on September 25th. That was the choice that every single person had

on September 25th who is involved in this fiasco. Do I stand with the savior, the king of kings, and his word and what

his >> Yeah, that's what he has to say. And my brother, medic for Christ, Michael, his

name is Michael. Michael, my brother, God is with you. Don't worry. H all of this will pass. All of this will pass.

We are with you. We are with you. And um yeah, we Jesus has forgiven you. Who am I to say I cannot forgive anybody? No,

we do make mistakes. and Jesus has forgiven you. Don't be be too hard on yourself because God is with you. But

with that said, I just want to make prayer to everybody who are feeling so much under pressure more like Michael

that God give them strength in this uh difficult moments. My Lord, I thank you. I thank you for this day and I pray for

Michael in this moment. my father medic for Christ that he must be strong in his ministry, in his YouTube ministry, in

his online ministry. I pray for him and his family and even Mr. Joshua, I pray for him that he can realize the truth.

Father, I pray for him and even other people, my Lord, who are causing confusion in the body of Christ. I pray

for them that they can see the truth and the truth sets them free. And I thank you, Father. I surrender all to you in

Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen. Amen. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the

Lord. Meet you on the next episode. Bye-bye.
