Fact Check: Joshua's Failed Rapture Prediction and Biblical Prophecy Analysis
Mixed Credibility
6 verified, 1 misleading, 0 false, 0 unverifiable out of 7 claims analyzed
This video revolves around the self-proclaimed prophet Joshua from South Africa who predicted the rapture would occur on specified dates in September 2023, later shifting his timeline and claiming divine design for a 'delay.' The fact check confirms Joshua made explicit, verifiable prophetic claims that failed to manifest, qualifying him as a false prophet under Deuteronomy 18 standards. Despite this, he refuses to apologize or repent, instead reinterpreting scripture and moving prophetic goalposts to defend his position, a pattern typical of misleading prophecy. The theology invoked to justify the delay misuses biblical texts such as the parable of the 10 virgins, deviating from standard interpretations and serving to rationalize failed predictions. Importantly, the false prophecy caused real harm by financially and spiritually impacting believers. The analysis underscores that, biblically, God does not deceive; thus, false prophetic claims resulting in disappointment originate from human error or deception, not divine revelation. Overall, the video mixes some biblical truths with misleading and disproven prophetic claims, resulting in moderate credibility with significant issues requiring discernment.
Claims Analysis
Joshua predicted the rapture would happen on September 23rd or 24th, 2023, claiming Jesus appeared to him physically to reveal this.
Publicly available statements and media coverage confirm Joshua predicted the rapture on these dates, claiming direct revelation from Jesus. This factual claim about his prediction is accurate.
Because the rapture did not happen on that date, the prophecy is false and Joshua is a false prophet per Deuteronomy 18:20-22 consequences.
Deuteronomy 18:22 clearly states that if a prophet's prediction does not come to pass, the word was not from the Lord. Joshua's failed specific date prophecy qualifies as false under this biblical standard.
Joshua does not apologize or repent for his false prophecy, instead claiming the delay was divinely designed and his understanding was sealed until the end times.
In the video transcript, Joshua explicitly refuses to apologize or repent, asserting God designed the delay and sealed his understanding, which is a documented position he maintains publicly.
Joshua moves the prophetic goalpost by later stating the rapture must happen before Israel turns 78 years old, explaining September’s dates were premature.
Joshua’s statements about the prophecy needing to occur before Israel becomes 78 years supports moving the original date goalpost, a common behavior among false prophets to avoid admitting error.
Joshua interprets the parable of the 10 virgins as indicating a first announcement of the bridegroom's coming and then a delay before the actual rapture, implying biblical support for a postponed event.
The parable of the 10 virgins (Matthew 25) does mention the bridegroom's delay, but Joshua's narrative that this teaches about his failed rapture prophecy is a theological interpretation not supported by mainstream biblical exegesis and is used here to justify his failed prophecy.
The rapture prophecy caused many believers to experience spiritual harm, such as financial loss and shaken faith, due to the prophecy’s failure.
Media reports confirm that many followers emptied bank accounts and experienced disillusionment after the rapture did not occur, indicating tangible harm caused by the false prophecy.
God would not intentionally deceive believers by causing false hope or misleading prophecies.
Biblical doctrine uniformly states that God is truthful and does not lie (Numbers 23:19, Titus 1:2). The idea that God would deliberately mislead believers contradicts orthodox Christian teaching.
All right, y'all. You remember that prophet Joshua dude that had that prediction directly from Jesus
apparently that the rapture was going to happen on September 23rd or September 24th? You remember that? This guy from
South Africa. I think it was South Africa. Um, it's this guy right here. He's back on the scene, you guys. He's
he's back. And I I want us to just listen to this together. I I there's a two-part um interview, I guess, that he
did with uh the Scent Twins. I listened to the first part. It wasn't really anything. There's a little bit stuff in
there, but um I haven't listened to the second one, and I want to watch it with with you guys instead of just trying to
clip up stuff. So, we're going to dive right in, but I want to remind you first before we get into this about what the
scripture says, cuz remember, we aren't to despise prophecy. All right? We're not to despise it. We're
not to think prophecies are no longer a thing. We are to listen and watch to see if they come to pass. It's very
important to see if it comes to pass. And I don't believe prophecies need to be as vague as they as the people do in
the world right now. I think it's very specific because if you look at some of the prophets, I mean Isaiah for example,
he was very specific. You know, Ezekiel was very specific. Daniel was very specific. I mean, he talks about the
number of specific days, 2,300 days. And there's no vagueness. So, pay attention to that. But pay attention even more. If
these prophecies that are prophesied by people don't come to pass, that is not from the Lord. we you're not
to like condemn this person or anything, but you are to be like, "Okay, I don't need to fear you." Right? I'm gonna go
to the scripture real quick and we're going to jump into this um this interview. And like I said, I
haven't read ahead, so I don't really know. But before we I don't know what's in it, but before we do, I really just
want you guys to just really listen to this scripture. Don't be deceived because you think you
saw a sign because your heart was really desiring for something to happen. Let the word of the Lord be the word of
the Lord and let that stand true despite what you feel. That's the key to growing in your relationship with God. All
right? And my prayer is that we really like want to actually know and grow with God, not just to bring God in on what we
want to happen so bad. A lot of people wanted this rapture to happen and it didn't happen. So, I'm curious to see
what this guy's going to say. Deuteronomy chapter 18. Now, this passage actually talks a little bit
about how God say he's going to send a prophet like Mo like Moses unto them. And we know that's talking about Jesus.
A lot of people will say he's talking about like Muhammad or something. But then he talks specifically about gauging
prophets. Verse 20, but the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in my name, a word which I have not commanded him to
speak or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die. This is the consequence of if you speak
presumptuously in his name which Joshua has spoken in the name of Jesus. He says I'm a billion% certain Jesus came to me
physically and told me September 23rd September 24th I'm coming to rapture my church. It didn't happen. What is the
consequence? I'll let you read it for yourself. It's two-part. A prophet who speaks presumptuously,
which is a word he has not commanded, or speaks in the name of the other gods, both get the same consequence.
And if you say in your heart, because we are not to despise prophecy, right, man? Like, okay, I'm going to listen to what
these prophets are saying, so-called prophets are saying, but I'm going to say in my heart, how will we recognize
the word of the Lord? Or excuse me, how will we recognize the word which the Lord has not spoken? How can I know that
that didn't come to pass or how can I know this is not from you or not? Here's the antidote.
When uh excuse me, when verse 22, the prophet speaks in the name of the Lord and the thing does not happen or come
true, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You are not to be
afraid of him. It's as simple as that. Don't don't despise prophecy. We're going to listen to prophecy. We're going
to consider what this dude is saying or we did already. We're not going to do it again. But we're not to we're not to
fear or listen or really be like, "Oh, God said this." No. So, I'm wondering how this guy's going to explain himself
cuz he hurt a lot of people, y'all. He hurt a lot of people. A lot of people emptied their bank accounts. I mean, it
made nationwide news. It was bad. It was really, really, really, really bad. Y'all know how I feel about end times
stuff. At least I think if you've been following me for a while, I've always been fascinated about the end times,
right? When I first got saved, I uh I first got saved at 14 and I immediately went to the book of
Revelation because my thought was is I want to know what's going to happen. Like this is the how the world's
supposed to end. Okay, I want to know how it's going to happen. I've never been afraid of it. I just always wanted
the truth. And I believe that I mean we're gonna be we're not going to escape the tribulation. All right? God
is going to protect us through it. And I'm going to actually sit down and actually do this study like I've been
saying I was going to do for a while to help you see where the scripture speaks about how we are not going to escape.
There aren't two comingings or three second comingings or two comingings of Jesus. Second coming of Jesus, just one
second coming. I'm going explain all that in another time, but that's a really like a red flag when someone is
speaking to me. This is just me because of my interpretation of anything about a rapture happening first and Jesus coming
down and the alien ship and all that stuff he was saying. I think that's what the enemy wants us to believe. But
that's a different video. We'll talk about that later. I don't think you're a fool or anything for believing this. But
I believe you know it's a it's a it's a forced doctrine that has to have a lot of inference. He speaks a lot about
that. Let's see what he has to say now. >> I am not guilty of a lie. The delay has a beginning and an end. I'm here to
announce the end. So the delay >> is actually fulfilling >> the scripture that says the tribulation
days will be shortened for the sake of the elect. I'm still not getting when, you know, in terms of the preparation
because I see there's also an urgency for the church and the children of God to prepare in that time. But are we
meant to not know exactly when it's happening? >> My prophecy cannot pass the 14th of May.
>> I can't answer that question. >> What did he say? My prophecy can't pass the 15th of May. I think that's what he
said. Okay. In the last video, the first one, he said something about like, oh, it's still within the same year or
something like that. just explain it. He doing some explaining. But anyway, the whole shortening for the sake of the
elect. Like, come on, man. That is so out of context. >> You know, I I know it won't. I have not
seen. I have not wrong. I I I did not lie. I told the truth. I am a billion% sure.
>> When the rapture happens, Israel will be 77 years. Israel is still 77 years now. They
became a nation in 1948. When Israel becomes 78, my prophecy is out. The prophecy that I gave on the 14th of
May, if 14th of May comes and reaches and then Israel becomes 78, my prophecy is dead. It's over.
>> Okay. He said first he said September 23rd, September 24th. And then he's like, okay, well, Israel has to be a
certain age. So now if Israel turns to become this age, then I'm wrong. But I'm telling you right now, it's not going to
pass because Israel is still 77 years old, whatever it was. We see and now he moved the goalpost. That's what false
prophets do. They move the goalpost. That's not what you said. And you were a billion% sure when you said September
23rd and September 24th. >> So which means the prophecy of you saying there will be no World Cup would
also be fulfilled. So every the puzzle will be complete. >> But we will not be here to see it
fulfilled. We will not be here to see the World Cup not happening.
>> But God in his mercy and grace. >> There are signs already in the world. There are callings in the world for the
World Cup not to be >> there. There is an escalation of war out there.
>> Yes. >> But remember the Lord told me he didn't say because of the war the World Cup
will not be. He said because there will be a rapture. Okay. Now 14th of May Israel will be 78. And on this point, I
would like to highlight this without mentioning names. >> A man came on this platform and said h
and so many other people were saying on the internet that Jacob married Leah when he was 77
>> and he married Rachel when he was 84. >> And that means rapture happens when Israel is 77 and then second coming
happens when Israel is 84. That's 232. >> The man was right. Okay. So, what the problem is is people
see something in the Bible and then they'll say that's the pattern God has to follow. That is very dangerous.
That is very dangerous. God said no one knows the day or the hour. No one knows the day or the hour. There's no pattern
that you're that that's man trying to impose the objectives or or trying to
understand God's mind. And and now and now you're you're the you're the voice of revelation. You're the voice of
reason. That makes sense. >> There's a reason why I told people something not like they call me
arrogant. It's fine. They call me proud. I said to people not to apologize because
>> not to apologize for giving dates. >> Yes. Okay. >> Not not to apologize for the entire
prophecy. >> Okay. >> Because the prophecy itself
>> is it integrity and truth of it remains. It is the understanding that they had to catch up
>> to what God actually meant by this entire prophecy. If if you get what I'm saying?
>> Yeah. So which means when people then receive the message, they still need to consult from the Lord because if
somebody comes on a platform like for instance if somebody if I hear somebody say this is the date and I'm a billion%
sure this is happening >> then you go by that. So are you saying people should not go by what you are
saying only? >> Do you understand? They must hear it. But at the same time, they too have a
responsibility to pray about what that prophecy means, you know, cuz I'm trying to understand the reason for for not
apologizing. >> Yeah, >> it keeps freezing. I'm sorry about that,
you guys. Let me try to maybe do it like this. >> Understand? They must hear it, but at
the same time, they too have a responsibility to pray about what that prophecy means. You
know, because I'm trying to understand the reason for for not apologizing. Yes. and and maybe just making it understand
because I feel like some people truly, you know, are and and believe it and support it, but they do feel there still
needs to be an apology. So maybe just an explanation to say the reason I'm not apologizing is this.
>> Okay, >> let me talk about me. >> Okay, the word was for those who who who
took the prophecy and ran with them for them to not apologize as well. But I'll talk about me. But I did not apologize
and I will never apologize and I will never repent >> because here's the thing.
>> Jesus appeared. Let me let me let me show you what people don't see. Okay? Because I always see what people don't
see. Apologizing and repenting of the prophecy.
>> It says the prophecy is wrong. In fact, to the extent that the prophecy is a lie, that is what apology does.
When you apologize, you don't apologize for doing right. When you when you go out to the street and feed the poor,
when you feed the hungry, do you apologize for that? >> Maybe it's a it's a wedding thing. Maybe
take accountability of the understanding. I think you already said that it was your understanding at the
time, you know, that you guys took what I said literal, but you had less understanding than what you do now,
>> right? So, he said in the last video that he um essentially he God didn't reveal that there was going to be a
delay. So, that's where he's like, he didn't say it was wrong. Didn't apologize, but okay, he didn't give me
the full revelation. at least apologize for that because you actually said I'm a billion% certain it's going to be in
this window. That's what you said. And I appreciate the boldness. Like I appreciate that it was specific. I
appreciate that he even got on live and was like, "Look, I'm going to get right in front of you guys on live. I'm going
to sit here and it's what it is." This is why I believe he's not making it up. I think he spoke to somebody. He spoke
to a spirit. He spoke to something like, you know, the angel Moroni, right? Just like Joseph Smith. Or he spoke to, you
know, this false angel that spoke to Muhammad. Like he he spoke to a spirit like that that seemed very convincing
but was very deceptive. And the only way we can acknowledge or understand where the problem lies is resorting back to
the Bible and looking at what the Bible says. He apologize for that. He's wrong. I
mean, it's just it's what it is. But pride will get in the way and be like, "No, there's no apology. I'm not wrong."
You're not wrong that you probably spoke to something or someone, a spirit. But you got to know yourself. Okay, this was
wrong. But we we'll see what he says. >> Okay. By divine design. >> I'm just finishing what you said.
>> In other words, the lack of not understanding was divinely designed. In other words, it was intention from God.
It was God's intention, >> but I don't want us to I want us to move. I don't want us to be stuck here.
Okay. >> No, I think you've answered it. >> I will say this
>> another reason I'm not apologizing. God told me not to apologize. God told me not to repent.
>> The reason why we repent to God is because we have sinned. We have wrong. >> Okay? I have not sinned. I have not
wrong. I I I did not lie. I told the truth. Okay? >> I'm not even going to apologize for the
understanding. >> Because that was his design. That was God's design.
>> It had to happen like that. >> It had to happen like that. But I'm going to tell you the reasons why. Okay?
>> So, so here's the thing. >> Jesus, >> I'm sorry. I got to pause it here.
Before he tells you the reason why, I want you to think about that statement before he tells you the reason why. And
then now you believe whatever he's going to say. Think about what he said. God intentionally designed to make it seem
like to make it seem like to deceive you to make it seem like the rapture is going to happen on the 23rd
or the 24th. It was designed and he's probably going to say to make you like, you know, be cautious or to make you
like now be aware or to watch your living and all that stuff as if God needs to do that. So, you're pretty much
saying from what I got, let's hear what he says, is that God is intentionally deceiving you. You know what that sounds
like? That sounds like when God made it seem like Jesus was crucified, right? According to Islam, it appeared as it
was, you know, God is the master deceiver. He intentionally deceived people to make it seem like Jesus was
crucified. And you let people go for 600 years and then now you finally say, "Oh, by the way, I made it seem that way."
That's not a character of God. God is not a man that he should lie. That is whatever you call it a intentional delay
or or all this stuff. It's a lie because you said that God told you to come out now cuz it's been years in the making to
come out now and say God said to tell me to tell you this specific day or this specific next day this will happen. So
God told you to intentionally deceive us. That's what it is. And that's not the character of God.
Don't be mis misused or confused because people will say, "Well, look, like Bible sent a deceiving spirit to to this king
or whatever, right?" No. God didn't do the deceiving. That spirit did. And he said, "Okay, cool. I'll let it happen."
But God himself does not deceive. You said God himself in the form of Jesus Christ came down and told you these
words. So know that. And then now let's listen to what he has to say.
>> Appears in front of me and I deliver exactly what he says. There are people who say to me now brother why didn't you
say to us or you didn't say to us there will be a delay. You didn't say that you said that day
rapture will happen. >> Okay let us indulge this person. Okay let us indulge a little bit.
>> Pretend this is me last year giving the message. world there shall be a delay on the 23rd and the 24th of September
>> and thereafter on a day that now I'm not aware of >> the rapture is going to happen who was
going to be shaken by this message who >> who the only way this is me now I'm coming back to the people with the
understanding God has given me >> you see Jesus made this thing very simple for me
>> he appears give the message say go give the give to the people I go and I deliver the message exactly the way he
delivered me. But here's the thing because I was faithful in delivering what he said. I'm not guilty of anything
because I did as I was told. I'll tell you this. I'll tell you this. I want there is an an entitlement
that is with people. Okay? >> That I myself will not accept to feed it. I will not feed that entitlement.
Okay? Accountability. When you talk about accountability, I'm supposed to say I'm
supposed to say what I apologize for not understanding while God has remember Daniel was told seal up the vision until
the time of the end. In other words, he will not have understanding. The understanding is for those who
>> in the end. >> Okay. Yeah. God told him to seal up the vision for
the time of the end. He didn't didn't say gave up some information and was like
certain about it and then it didn't happen in order to bring some shock or some like sense of urgency in the body
of Christ to now start to prepare like no he said seal this up. I mean even in the book of revelation and by the way I
didn't watch this ahead so I it's just coming to me now but in the book of revelation
John sees an angel speaking or hears I think words in the in the thunder and he goes to write it down and then the angel
says wait don't write that down like he God will get in the way of things I don't know the reason why angel didn't
tell him write it down but he will stop things from happening he won't purposely try to say something and then make it
confusing or trick you or in this case it says to shake you up. You know, he didn't say shake you up, but it's to
like bring some sense of urgency. If you were to come down last year, Joshua come out last year and say, "Hey, God said
the rapture is going to happen 23rd, 24th, and it's going to be a delay." You guys wouldn't like be shaken. You
wouldn't have any sense of urgency. So, that was intentional. That's why he didn't let me know that it's going to be
a delay. God will not tell you that something's going to happen on a specific day
because biblically, he won't do that because no one knows the day of the hour. You had some you had some
mathematical equation that made you believe that this makes sense. And it seemed compelling. I'll be honest. It
was like, well, I never thought of that. Okay, it makes sense. You said that it was a specific day. God
would not do that. You've caused way more harm. Way more harm than good
times. >> So the the understanding is sealed. So now I must come to people and say I
apologize that God has sealed my understanding. >> That's that is that accountability. But
I I tell you this let me give you a good version >> gaslighting
>> of accountability >> is that I'm back >> and I'm here to give to people what I
did not understand. >> Right. I I feel like this is accountability but I don't want us to
get stuck here. >> But it's good that you addressed it. Thank you for addressing it cuz it was
going to stay hanging. >> But yes, thank you for coming back cuz I like Mr. Joshua. Let's say let's say
something else. >> Come back. >> Let us say something else.
>> Apologizing for me, it's easy. Okay. Uh people who know me, who opposed to me, they know apologizing for me is
something that is very easy to do. >> I don't have a pride for it. I don't I don't there's no problem apologizing.
You are just humbling yourself. There's nothing wrong. >> But I know the damage an apology will do
to this prophecy. Therefore, I stand my ground. >> I stand my ground. So, it's a damage.
Yeah, >> it's a damage. >> Help us
>> that someone respect. >> Yeah, sure. >> You see someone someone who doesn't have
that insight spiritually will not see because people think >> it's going to change the message. It's
going to change everything. The apology is not part of the message. >> The message still remains. That's what
he's saying. >> Yes. If you're apologizing, he's saying the message was never Let's continue.
Yeah. Yeah. Let's continue. >> So, so moving forward. So the Lord says to me, tell them
rapture day 23rd, 24th sam. I mean he says exodus of course and I run. By the way, the Lord did not lie to me.
>> He told me the truth. He used the word exodus meaning the journey for a reason. So he was faithful and he was truthful.
So I deliver the message and as I was saying last, let us indulge this person who says I must announce it today. By
the way, first of all, I didn't even know that it was going to be. You see how you see that God said
there's going to be an exodus on the 23rd and 24th. He I think he did use that word exodus, but he specifically
said the rapture will happen. I will be gone. We will not be here. He was like, "Oh, hold on. Israel is still on this
certain time zone. So, it's not over yet." Because Israel is still, you know, got a certain amount of hours before the
sun sets and all that stuff. Like, come on, bro. Come on. understanding is sealed uh to me by God.
So they were also waiting. >> Second of all, sorry just a little bit. >> Second of all, coming to people and say
there shall be a delay on the 23rd of September, 24th of September >> to my heart sounds like that alarm that
comes off, but it has, you know, it's it's it's it's a low sound and it's soothing. It makes you go back to sleep
even more. The alarm that I was meant to be >> is the one that is so loud to jump out
of a dream, jump out of your sleep >> and wake up. So God wanted me, that's why I'm saying this is by divine design.
He >> So if he were to say the delay thing, it would have make you go back to sleep
even more. I don't know. I'd argue that that's probably happening now and actually worse, not just sleep. I think
people are now like walking away because they believed it so much. Now they came and trust their own understanding
because remember other people had signs and don't believe it to be true. So now they're like questioning their own
relationship with God. Am I even saved? Did God even hear me? Is he even true? He show he he showed me this. Did he
deceive me? It's more damage from a false prophecy. This is why we have to look at the example in the Bible. Do not
despise it. See if it comes to pass. Know hard feelings. I'm not going to put my my life savings into this. So that
way if it doesn't come through, okay, whatever we keep pushing, more damage was done.
>> Wanted me to tell people that that day is >> Dul
>> and the alarm >> the jumped that one >> I will I will testify now
>> the alarm >> woke people they woke up so much >> that they left sin they came to Christ
one person was telling me >> her two teenagers gave their life to Christ
>> there's a I remember there's a man who was addicted to to to this. I didn't want to
>> I just want to say two people give life to Christ. Cool. Where are those two people now?
Where are those two people now? How is the relationship with Christ now? Because it ain't about just giving life
to Christ. The one who endures to the end will be saved. Right? This damage makes people not endure because you can
lose your salvation. Right? I'm not with that one save always save stuff. You know, the Bible talks about, you know,
holding on to the your secure position as the scripture says. You know what? I got to pull that up because remind me to
pull that up and if I forget, just tell me to put it up in the chat. But it's something about like holding on to your
secure position. Um because no one can snatch you out the father's arm. But yeah, anyway, I wonder how those two
people are that so that got saved. Wonder how they're doing. >> These are things that people should not
watch. >> Yes. >> And he was not faithful to his wife.
>> You know, he was living that kind of a life. M >> but when he had the message
>> he jumped. >> He said I'm going to make things right. I He made things with right with God.
There's there's another one that I'm talking with in America says, >> "Brother, when you spoke when I heard
your message, >> you inspired me to marry my girlfriend. Today I have a wife."
>> You know, and there's so many more. There's there's another one who says, "I was asleep in my spiritual walk. in my I
was lukewarm in my walk with God. >> But when you came with the message, I jumped up and I fixed my life with
Christ and I was on fire for God again. So, but this was not going to happen. >> If I see why God designed it for me to
understand it this way and to deliver this way because if I came and said there's going to be a delay, what what
does that even mean? There's going to be a delay in the 25th of September. But when you say that that day it was it was
not by intention. I knew that day to be the day. It is not that I said let me trick people to Christ.
>> I knew that to be the day >> but God would then use this message to get people to himself. There are people
who say >> there are people who say and regret falling away and all of that and all of
that and Christian walk away and all of that. Now I I want you to be aware of this. Don't be tricked by every comment.
If you are married to your husband and you you set up a date you know a date night
>> and then before that time or on that day he postpones the night. Did you go divorce your husband for postponing a
night a date? So for people who say these were devoted Christians to the Lord to Jesus and because your date
passed they went back to the world or they fell from their faith. No >> they were exposed.
>> If you fell if you if you walked away from the Lord your spiritual life was not in good standing.
>> You you you know no one could live to divorce their husband for postponing a date night. So if Christ is your husband
then why have you not remained? It is I'm coming back now to that thing that >> you see how like you will tell a good
point which makes sense. I 100% agree with that 100%. Now you're just exposed of where your character was of where
your salvation actually lied. You can equate that to like okay let's say you pray for something and it didn't come to
pass now because God didn't answer your prayer in the way you wanted. You're going to like lose your faith in God.
Did you really were you saved in the first place? What's Jesus really your Lord? Because if he's your Lord, you
don't you can petition for the things you want, but you're not owed anything. So that's very much true. But you see
the deception in it. We're b we're basing it on the fact that this is true. Like the prophecy is not true.
He's good. He's good. I'll give it to him. He's good. >> I said,
>> oops. >> Even the way I understood the prophecy was by design. The Lord was going to
test hearts. The Lord had intended. >> God has other ways of testing hearts. >> Do not be I think it's James.
Do not be what is it? Concerned or shocked or something like that when trials of many
kinds come your way. But consider those as opportunities of for consider those as opportunities for great joy because
the testing of your faith will allow you to be perfect and complete needing nothing. Right? I'm butchering it but
it's James these trials they do perfect you in your faith to allow you to remain like to remind you like God's going to
come through. Not the same thing here. >> Shake the faith. I mean to shake the the
the the the Christians to see where they are standing in their faith. >> God will not okay better to say God will
not lie to you in order to do that. He will allow hardship to happen for that to happen. He won't lie to you. You said
God told you this. He will not lie to me to test my faith. >> If one walked away because a day passed,
it then reveals that that person was not standing in the Lord on the rock. Right? So, and you know just to move forward
again and then the Lord says you know h on the 23rd and 24th there shall be a rapture and then
>> Exodus. >> Yes. And then the date passed. Okay. The date passed. Okay. I don't know if I'm
missing anything but I will say this. >> The Lord took me to Matthew 25 and you will be shocked at what I found.
The parable of the 10 virgins. The kingdom of heaven shall be like this.
>> 10 virgins who took the oil, >> the lamps and went forth to meet the bride.
>> First announcement, >> the bride is coming. They took their lamps and went out to meet who? The
bride. Someone asked me, "Brother, do you regret doing the live?" No. >> Sure.
>> No. I know you don't understand the kind of answers that I give sometimes but >> and you can assume my arrogance but
please please there's a picture I am seeing here >> that the Lord has shown me
>> I don't regret because the Lord told me to do the live >> okay so the first announcement the 10
virgins are called out to meet the groom >> then it says five of them were wise five were foolish and the others took the old
others didn't take >> and then it says while the bridegroom ter so he announces
coming. >> Mhm. >> But then he delayed.
My God. So we were fulfilling scripture on the 23rd and the 24th of September. >> I did not know this.
>> Sure. >> Until after. But here's something more interesting.
>> We got to pause there. You see, he says something that's not true. And I want to actually pause there real quick to pull
up that scripture. He said that the bridegroom announced his coming and then was delayed. I don't
think that's true. Let me go to it and find out if it is. Okay, my bad. You got a point. Kingdom of heaven will be
comparable to 10 versions, which by the way, he said he God revealed this to him. He used this before when he was on
live. He was like, "Oh, the Lord is just tearing. It's okay. He's just a little late. Prudence took their oil." Okay,
right here. For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take Okay, let's go back a little bit to the
ground. Five of them were foolish and five were prudent. For when the foolish took their lamps, they did not take
extra oil with them. But the prudent ones took oil and flask with their lamps. Now while the groom was delaying,
they all became drowsy and began to sleep. He put in that the groom announced his coming and then delayed.
That is not what the scripture says. That is not what the scripture says because now that brings a different
narrative to the situation. And then it supports his argument. you announce it and then delayed. There was no
announcing in this here. He wants this to be true. This isn't true. He's he's transposing scripture to suit his
narrative. And that's what false prophets do. >> But he has something more interesting
>> and basic jumping. And at midnight there was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom is coming. Oh, there's a second
>> announcement. >> Announcement. It means the delay has a beginning and an end.
>> Mhm. Okay. The delay does come to an end. >> The delay does come to an end.
>> Okay. >> And after that >> the in the second announcement, the
groom arrives. >> In the second announcement, >> on the 23rd and the 24th of Septe
went out to meet who? The bride. Someone asked me, "Brother, do you regret doing the life?" and
you will be shocked at what I found. The parable of the 10 virgins. >> The kingdom of heaven shall be like
this. >> 10 virgins who took the oil, >> the lambs and went forth to meet the
bride. First announcement, the bride is coming. He took their names and went
okay. Okay. He's saying that the first announce
announcement is here. Then the kingdom of heaven will be like 10 virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet
the bridegroom. Okay, they went out to meet him. That's he's saying that's the announcement. So my mistake, he's saying
this is the first announcement. Five of them were foolish. Five were wise blah blah blah blah. And then when the wise
took the blast as a bargain was delayed. So they went out intentionally knowing. He's saying right here, this is when
they know, oh, he's coming on a specific day. Let's say the 23rd or 24th last year. He's coming out. So, we're
waiting. Although, he's delayed and they fell asleep. I still don't think that's accurate, but
it helps his narrative. It does help his narrative. Um, let's let's I keep cutting it off. Let's actually listen to
what he's going to say. My bad if y'all just want to listen to it. >> And B's jumping. And at midnight there
was a cry made. Behold, the bridegroom is coming. Oh, there's a second >> announcement.
>> Announcement. It means the delay has a beginning and an end. >> Okay. The delay does come to an end.
>> The delay does come to an end. >> Okay. >> And after that,
>> the in the second announcement, the groom arrives. >> In the second announcement,
>> in the second announcement, the groom arrives. >> Where are we now? Let me tell you. Cuz
we got the first announcement and then there was the delay. Where are we now? Are we close to the second announcement?
Are we at the end? The question still stands. >> Okay. Let let me address what you're
saying >> by starting here. >> Okay. I gave some dates
>> after besides the 23rd and 24th. >> The calendar dates. >> The calendar dates.
>> So the first one was I came here in studio >> and it was the the 6th and the 7th of
October. >> Oh yeah. The Julian calendar >> and that one pass. So some people say to
me h brother give account for the dates that came and and passed >> that the rapture didn't happen but I
want to to bring people focus to bring people's focus to this >> my date has always been the 23rd and
24th of September >> the 6th and the 7th of October that was my my understanding was that
was the 23rd and the 24th of September in the Julian calendar >> so I'm still looking for the 23rd and
the 24th I have not changed the dates okay people say you have many days I don't
>> because of the calendar interpretation. So which means ideally this has always been the first announcement. So the
second days fall under the first announcement because it's still September calendar. Just the calendar
interpretation. >> Exactly. >> Another one I I gave without being long
was the the 25th 23rd that I was watching was the 23rd and the 24th. Even then
>> there was some information coming that you know how the months are are positioned. So the 23rd and the 24th and
the 27th and the 28th but all of them they fall under one announcement. Okay. >> 23rd and the 24th. This is us looking
for the same date but in the other calendars. Okay. This is >> so the delay has a beginning and an end.
I'm here to announce the end. >> Sure. >> So on the 13th of October the Lord comes
to me. >> Okay. In a vision. He comes to me not face to face this time.
>> He comes to me in a vision and he says to me 13th on the 13th I mean 13th and 14 days will pass.
And no not 13. He says 14 and 15 days will pass. 16 and 17 would be the rapture of the church.
>> I woke up. It was the 13th of October. Then >> I woke up thinking there it goes again.
>> My human understanding. >> Yes. Cuz you just came out. I just came out so massive. Exactly. The Lord
himself came to me. This is not me cooking up in my mind. The Lord came again to me.
>> I put out a post that >> because we on the 13th of October. I said on the 14th and the 14th and 15th
will pass. 16 17 will be the rap of the church. I said of October. M >> that date was the only date that was
different from the 23rd and 24th of >> and that date came and passed. >> Now for me the calendars were out
>> I'm not looking for nothing. >> I I said I kept saying October, November, December and January. I asked
the Lord even if you don't send me to announce the the the rapture date >> but will you ever tell me when it's
going to happen? And the Lord would say to me, do you want me to tell you about the I mean about the rapture date all
over again? What does the Lord mean? >> And I remember this 14 and 15 will pass 16 and 17 will be the rapture of the
church. I asked him for months maybe October, November, December and January. Finally, the Lord understanding to me
when he came to me in a vision, he was saying the 14th and the 15th >> will pass.
Remember he used the word exodus instead of rapture for us to look at the pity >> of the Israelites in the Exodus in
Egypt. So when God was going to pass over the doors,
>> remember >> when you put the blood on the doorpost, >> yes,
>> I will pass. You remember? >> Mhm. >> And that celebration was from then was
known to be passed over >> correct. Yes. >> So when the Lord was saying to me, he
didn't say October. I inserted October in my post in my channel. >> He was saying the 14th and the 15th will
pass. >> Okay. and the 16th and the 17th >> shall be the rapture of the church. So
what the Lord was saying to me now, now I'm announcing the end of the day. >> So what the Lord was saying to me is
that the rapture would happen >> on Passover >> on Passover.
>> On Passover. Listen, >> the month the month of Passover >> when the Israelites went out of Egypt
Joshua made specific dates for the rapture event that did not occur, which under biblical standards in Deuteronomy 18 qualifies his claims as false prophecy. Failed manifestations of declared events help identify such misleading claims.
The score reflects a mix of some truthful biblical content alongside disproven prophetic claims. Moderate credibility indicates the video contains significant issues, such as misinterpretation and unfulfilled predictions, requiring viewers to apply discernment.
Researchers compared Joshua's stated prophecies with actual events, analyzed his scriptural interpretations, and assessed whether his timeline predictions materialized. They also examined patterns of moving goalposts and reinterpretation typical of misleading prophecy.
Misapplying scripture, like the parable of the 10 virgins, to justify failed predictions distorts original meanings and serves to rationalize errors instead of acknowledging faults. This undermines credibility and can mislead believers.
Typical signs include specific, testable predictions that fail, refusal to admit error or apologize, shifting timelines or interpretations to avoid accountability, and misusing scripture to defend failed claims.
False prophecies can cause financial strain when followers donate based on promises, and spiritual harm through disappointment and loss of trust in genuine faith teachings. Such consequences highlight the importance of critical evaluation.
Viewers should compare claims against biblical teachings and observable facts, watch for accountability from the prophet, evaluate consistency in scriptural interpretation, and be cautious of predictions that shift when proven inaccurate.
