DateSetters
A documentation project tracking YouTube channels whose operators set specific rapture dates, claim prophetic authority, and cause documented harm when predictions fail.
June 7, 2026 — What They Removed
Joshua Mhlakela deleted 56% of his community posts. Christy Deurloo deleted 60%. The pattern of what was removed — and when — is more revealing than almost anything they left up.
Joshua deletes dates and leaves theology. Christy deletes dates, personal conflicts, and the entire third-party prophetic network she built around each failed window. Both have now deleted posts about the World Cup claim — the tournament that opens in four days. The deletion before falsification is not post-failure cleanup. It is pre-emptive erasure of a claim he anticipated would fail.
The Three Phases framework says every prophetic failure is a Dying phase on the way to Resurrection. If he believed that, he would leave the failed posts up as evidence the prophecy is alive. He doesn’t. The archive has what the channels no longer do.
What This Site Is
Date-setting is the practice of announcing a specific date for the Christian rapture. Scripture explicitly states that no one can know the day or hour (Matthew 24:36). That hasn’t stopped a recurring cycle of YouTube channels from doing exactly that — building audiences around specific predictions, and then reinterpreting or doubling down when the date passes.
This site documents those channels: who operates them, what they claim, what happens when predictions fail, and the effect on the communities built around them. Every claim is sourced to a specific video, comment, or public record.
