Fact Check: May 2025 Rapture Predictions and Associated Claims
Low Credibility
1 verified, 2 misleading, 1 false, 4 unverifiable out of 8 claims analyzed
This video primarily relies on personal visions, interpretations of biblical lunar calendar dates, and prophetic dreams to claim a rapture event occurring in May 2025 and related future events. The claims about specific dates, visions, and political prophecies lack verifiable evidence and are rooted in subjective religious experiences. While some references to biblical day reckoning are accurate, the overall prediction framework is speculative and unverifiable. The inclusion of future dated events and supernatural assertions further diminishes the factual credibility. Based on these factors, the video's overall credibility score is low, indicating predominance of unverifiable and speculative claims.
Claims Analysis
Jesus spoke to Brother Joshua in a vision in October 2025, predicting the rapture on Nissan 16th and 17th (May 4th to 5th, 2025).
No verifiable evidence exists to confirm that Jesus appeared to this individual or revealed specific dates for the rapture. Such private revelations are subjective and not objectively verifiable.
The sliver moon sighting on April 18th, 2025, marks the beginning of Nissan, with the rapture expected 16 to 17 days later (May 4th to 5th).
While the biblical new month begins with a new moon, the exact date of seeing a 'sliver moon' can vary by location and observation. The specific counting method used is interpretive and not standardized, making the prediction speculative.
A day in God's reckoning starts at sunset and ends at sunset the next day, which affects the interpretation of rapture timing.
Biblical days in the Hebrew calendar traditionally begin at sunset, a well-established cultural and religious practice.
From January 6th to May 6th is 120 days, paralleling the 120 years God gave Noah before the flood, reinforcing the rapture timeline.
While January 6th to May 6th is about 120 days, the connection to Noah's 120 years is symbolic interpretation rather than historically or biblically mandated fact. Noah's 120 years refers to lifespan or judgment timeline, not a fixed calendar count relevant here.
A 15-year-old autistic boy dreamed of seeing his aborted sister in heaven, who told him Jesus would rapture the church in September 2025, including specific names unknown to the boy's mother.
Dreams are inherently subjective experiences. No independent means exist to confirm these details or prove supernatural origin.
A vision to Brother Joshua indicated a significant event on May 4th to 5th, identified as the rapture.
There is no external validation possible for the content or authenticity of this private vision.
In January 2026, before news coverage, a person dreamed of Trump and Iran starting a nuclear war, coinciding immediately with the rapture starting.
As of the knowledge cutoff in June 2024, no such events have occurred or been documented. The claim references a future dated event in 2026 and so is currently unverifiable and speculative. Additionally, the assertion that media coverage started later is unsubstantiated.
Demons cannot give prophetic dreams; thus, these visions and dreams are from Jesus and indicate divine truth about the rapture.
No empirical method exists to verify the spiritual source of dreams or visions; this is a theological belief rather than a verifiable fact.
Hello brothers and sisters in Christ. We have 40 and 1/2 hours or less before we're raptured. Do you guys remember how
Jesus spoke to brother Joshua in a vision in October 2025 and told him the 16th and 17th would be
the rapture of the church. So, that's referring to Nissan 16th and 17th. So, I now realize that the sliver moon of
April 18th actually marks the beginning of the month of Nissan. So, if you count 16 and 17 days after the sliver moon was
spotted on April 18th, you get to the days of the rapture, which is May 4th to May 5th. However, a day to God begins at
sunset of that day and ends at sunset of the following day. So, that means May 5th according to God Nissan, which is
actually Nissan 17th, but that actually ends on sunset of May 6th. So, let me show you this proof.
So, right, biblically a new month begins with the sighting of the sliver moon.
You have to actually sight it. So, you sight the sliver moon on April 18th, not on April 17th, cuz April 17th is just
dark. It's not an actual sliver moon. April 18th is the sliver moon. So, you count from So, you count 16 to 17 days
from April 18th, right here, and then you land exactly at May 4th to May 5th. However, sunset to
sunset timing, you get Nissan 17 starts on sunset of May 5th, ends at sunset of May 6th. So, sunset of the slowest time
zone in the world is Baker Island, and it ends in 1 day and 16 hours. So, that's when
we're going to be raptured. So, I'm also going to share with you that we made some, I guess, calculations, and
I made sure that from January 6th to May 6th, that's actually 120 days. So, that's how long God gave Noah like a
120-year grace period. And all this, the whole rapture timeline, it proves the rapture's going to happen May 5th to May
6th on the Gregorian calendar. So, the only reason why it literally said May 6th before,
I mean, May 5th before, right here, was because I counted the start date, but I didn't count the start date. Like, I
didn't use inclusive counting this time, and I literally got to May 6th for this day and for this day, which both have
biblical significance. So, you can pause this to read over the timeline. I'm not going to like explain it right now,
because it's going to There's no need. So, I'm not nervous right now, guys. I'm
literally not nervous, because God has shown us so many undeniable proof proving this September 23rd, 24th, 2025
rapture is from God. Like, it's literally impossible for it to fail, because God cannot lie, even though God
delayed the rapture. Like, how is it possible that this woman's autistic 15-year-old son had a dream where he saw
his aborted sister Sienna in heaven tell him that Jesus told her he would come to rapture the church in September 2025.
Now, because his mom never told him the names of his aborted sibling, but he was able
to name those names that he saw in his dream. So, that's proof that Jesus literally showed him those dreams and
gave him information that he wouldn't know otherwise. That is supernatural undeniable proof. Demons won't give you
those dreams, okay? It's only from Jesus, because Jesus wants you to watch for the rapture. Demons don't want you
to watch for the rapture. So, I'm also going to share with you God literally showed a vision to brother
Joshua telling him that there's a very important event happening on May 4th to May 5th. So, that's the great day of the
Lord. That's the rapture. Notice how Jesus didn't show him May 3rd to May 5th, because Nissan 16 actually begins
on May 4th. Bro. Because I explained to you before. So,
I'm also going to show you the Trump and Iran situation is going crazy right now. Literally, this person had a dream on
January 5th, 2026, before the news was even talking about the Trump and Iran situation. This person got a notif
Okay, notification on their phone where they saw Trump and Iran started a nuclear war, and then immediately the
rapture started happening. You can literally pause this if you want to see this more for yourself, but look, it's
not possible for this person's dream to be from their own imagination, because the media wasn't talking about this in
January. The media started talking about Iran in February. So, how did this person imagine it? They can't. It's from
God. So, I'm not nervous at all. I know this man, brother Joshua, he's a man of God, and I got loyalty to Jesus. So, I'm
never going to give up, okay? >> [laughter] >> Yeah, see y'all in the clouds in 40
hours, actually. Maranatha.
The credibility score reflects the extent to which the video's claims are supported by verifiable evidence. Since the video relies heavily on personal visions, subjective interpretations, and unverifiable prophetic dreams without factual backing, it received a low score of 20, indicating minimal factual reliability.
Predictions based on personal visions and interpretations of biblical calendars lack empirical evidence and cannot be tested or confirmed. Such forecasts often depend on individual subjective experiences, making them inherently uncertain and speculative rather than fact-based.
Verifiable evidence refers to information that can be independently confirmed through reliable sources, data, or observable facts. In contrast, claims based on personal spiritual experiences or future projections without corroborating proof do not meet this standard.
Supernatural claims cannot be tested or validated through scientific or historical methods. Fact-checking relies on objective verification, so assertions invoking supernatural elements fall outside the scope of factual assessment and reduce overall credibility.
Some references to biblical day reckoning may be factually accurate in terms of calendar calculations. However, accurate components do not necessarily validate the overall prediction framework if the broader claims remain unsubstantiated and speculative.
