Brother Joshua is like a cockroach

I will never have another rhapsody.

They never stop, the fake prophets, and this one is back. You may remember this guy, Joshua Malakela, people just call him Brother Joshua, and he's a South African prophet who multiple times last year predicted the rapture. I mean, and this was a big deal, he's not just a random obscure figure, he was. And then last year, his rapture predictions went viral. People started sharing that they were having visions and dreams and their children were having dreams for affirming brother Joshua and his rapture predictions. People sold homes, people sold cars, people derailed their lives in expectation of the rapture. They even did a live stream, a live stream, I don't remember how long, eight hours, 12 hours. It was a very long live stream where Joshua was on with some of his biggest YouTuber supporters who most of whom have not fully taken accountability for this. Some of them have for this because they can recover from this, but they need to be honest and straight and straightforward and say the truth.

But he's sitting there saying he's drinking coffee, and he'll be hanging out with them while the rapture happens. And it was the most sad thing in the world where over this rambling hours and hours and hours, long stream, long live stream, Joshua just gets weirder and weirder. He starts talking about how he has visions, has seen the grim reaper, that the grim reaper is real and he could describe him to you. It's just the guy is just a liar, a pathological liar with delusions of his own heart, not from the Lord.

At the very end of the stream, after they pass every single timeline that he said, he promises he knows a billion percent, a billion percent, after all of it, at the very end of the stream, he's like, I guess we should take a break. And they're signing off. And one of the last things Joshua tells them is, see you guys tomorrow.

Which was like the death nail inside of this movement to me, because he had promised that they would not be seeing each other tomorrow, they would be raptured on that day. And so clearly the man is just riding the cloud of narcissistic, psychopathic enjoyment of the attention he gets from faking prophecy, and he's at it again. Here he comes again. So three times last year, he predicted the rapture. Then he did it earlier this year in July, for July, and then now he's doing it again for October. Here's his most recent one. And then I want to have a lesson for us to learn from this, and an appeal to South African Christians and Christians in Africa, a genuine appeal. I really hope you'll listen to me. I know many of you follow this channel, and I'm grateful for it. You're my brothers and sisters in Christ, but you have a crisis right now, and I think maybe I have a solution to point you in a good direction.

But people see a sunny day, life is business as usual. They think nothing is happening. That's what catches people by surprise. It's because people love sleep. People love sin. So in my channel, lastly, God told me because there's no other date coming out.

12th to 13th October, which is the true Feast of Trumpets, which is when I will be meeting my Savior face to face in the rapture.

There's no other finality. I mean, there's no other rapture date. This is the final date for me.

Mike Winger (3:17)

Liar. There will be another date, inevitably. And it may not be a rapture date. Maybe you'll say, oh no, this is a different date. It's a date about the two witnesses. It's a date about this. He can milk this thing as long as he wants. He predicted the same exact thing last year. He said it was going to happen in September and there was going to be no other date. Then it was going to happen in early October and there would be no other date. And then it would happen in late October and then there would be no other date. And then it was going to happen earlier this year. And now it's going to happen 2026 October. Remember, he predicted the World Cup that would not happen. There would be no World Cup because after the rapture, crazy things would happen. This is based upon a pre-tribulational rapture view, an imminent, unpredictable pre-trib rapture view that he holds to, that he probably got from Americans in all reality. Not all Americans. No, no, just that has been a strong thing. This was Calvary Chapel was in this, and even even Pastor Chuck Smith predicted the rapture at one point in time. Not the way Joshua did, pretending he had visions and prophecy from God. They thought they calculated it with scripture, and they were wrong. And I did a video on that. I'll link it down below for those who were like, Mike, weren't you ordained as a Calvary Chapel pastor? Yes, and this was a black spot in what in many ways was a glorious movement, but certainly there were spots as there have been in many movements. And I addressed it head on. I'll link that in the video description down below.
