US - The Christian pastor and others who falsely predicted the end of the world on September 23 are speaking out after nothing happened.
Pastor Joshua Mhlakela, a South African preacher, claimed Jesus appeared to him in a vision and said he would return during the Jewish Feast of Trumpets, also known as Rosh Hashanah, which took place between September 22 and September 24.
Despite becoming a viral sensation in recent weeks, the day that countless people were convinced would mark the Second Coming of Jesus and Judgment Day for non-believers passed without anyone being lifted to heaven.
During a livestream that has now been deleted from social media, Mhlakela tried to explain why no one was being raptured on the night of the 23rd, preaching patience, saying 'the Lord is on his way' and he was coming 'with a host of angels.'
'I wonder how God works this out, in terms of the minute and the second,' Mhlakela added as the hours passed and the clock changed to September 24 with no Rapture.
However, as the time reached 12:17am, Mhlakela and his guests concluded the livestream, with the pastor adding 'see you tomorrow.'
Mhlakela quickly said: 'Please keep waiting with us, he is coming. September 23rd, 24th. One of these two days, he is coming.'
Although the pastor has not appeared on social media since Wednesday, many faith leaders and Christian influencers have come out to apologize for spreading the Rapture prediction after furious backlash online.
