DateSetters
An independent documentation project tracking the people who set dates for the rapture, the authority they claim, and the harm done when those dates pass.
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). People have done it anyway for most of church history. Today they do it on social media, building audiences around specific predictions, 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.

October 21, 2026 — New Note: The Groom’s Twelve Months
After her October 11–13 window closed, Christy Deurloo announced a rule “revealed to me today”: a Jewish groom could be away up to twelve months, and six or seven more with good reason. The archive shows the twelve months on all three documented channels before that, including Joshua’s October 12 livestream, where it ended on October 13. In the Mishnah, the twelve months were time for both bride and groom to prepare a household, with no extension. Eighteen to nineteen months from her October 2025 start date runs to April–May 2027.
October 20, 2026 — New Note: What Every Calendar Says About October 23/24
Christy Deurloo’s newest date, October 23/24, 2026, is “the REAL Day of Atonement.” Set out on every calendar involved — ours, the Julian, the Hebrew, and the moon-sighted Hebrew calendar of Jesus’ day — it falls on an ordinary day in the month after the autumn feasts. For thirteen months the starting point has been Joshua’s September 23–24, 2025, re-read through three successive corrections: the Julian calendar, “time is off by 30 days,” and “2026 is actually 2025.” By her own 30-day rule, Atonement falls on October 20/21 or 21/22.
October 18, 2026 — Christy Reclassifies Her October 16–17 Application as “a Theory Not a Prophecy”
On October 16, as the October 16–17 window opened, Rapture 2025 Confirmation posted that applying “the 14/15 will pass, on the 16/17 I will take my church” to the October calendar “was a theory not a prophecy,” while keeping that its meaning “came from the Holy Spirit.” Exodus 2025 separately posted that October 16–17 “WILL BE THE RAPTURE OF THE CHURCH.”
October 13, 2026 — Christy Offers October 18–19 on the Last Day of the Window
Rapture 2025 Confirmation posted a new date pair on the last day of the October 11–13 window: “May 4/5 in the 7th month would be Oct. 18/19 if these two feasts can switch.” A second post cites a dream from Angela of La Voz De Clamor as confirming “Joel Ch. 2’s fiery army.” Critic Steve Campanelli answered the same day that she is “not getting raptured on October 18th either.”
October 13, 2026 — New Note: The Biggest Channel Has the Smallest Audience
On the last day of the October window, a same-day comparison of the three documented channels. Christy Deurloo’s channel has 28,700 subscribers and 2.1 million views; a typical upload of hers has 410 views. Joshua Mhlakela’s typical upload has 7,168 on a channel of 7,790 subscribers, and Hlengiwe Mchunu’s has 1,935 on a channel of 2,240. Eighty-four percent of Christy’s lifetime views sit on videos from a single month, October 2025.
October 6, 2026 — Christy Revives the Korah Threat and Asks Followers to Deliver It
Rapture 2025 Confirmation’s new song, “Put Down Your Stones,” carries a description warning critics of the rapture delay that “the fate of Korah will be yours” — swallowed alive by the earth, as in Numbers 16. A same-day post asks followers to send it to people individually, adding the recipient’s name so that, in her words, “YouTube won’t flag you for spam.” In the comments she names whose audience it’s for: critic Mike Winger’s. “Big Daddy God’s gonna get him bad! … I think I’ll pay a visit, too. Drop this song on his followers.” Another post points her audience to Hlengiwe Mchunu’s newest video, “The Delay is Over!” Twelve items in three days, five days before October 11–13.
October 4, 2026 — Hlengiwe’s Channel Carried Joshua’s October Date Before He Did
On September 20, Hlengiwe Mchunu’s channel published another creator’s video arguing, from Revelation 12 and the position of the sun in Virgo, that the rapture will fall on October 12–13, 2026. It is the first calendar- or astronomy-based date claim carried on her channel, which had produced dates only from visions. Two days later Joshua Mhlakela published a video crediting the same creator and making the same argument for the same dates. In the comments, viewers read the video’s 39:11 runtime as a Strong’s Concordance number.

October 4, 2026 — Seven Days Out, Christy Reaffirms October 11–13 and Reuses a Prophetic Word for the Third Time
Rapture 2025 Confirmation’s new two-part “Literal Birth Pains” series names October 11–13 as “the real” Feast of Trumpets again, three weeks after narrowing the window to October 16–17. To make the date fit, it reapplies Joshua Mhlakela’s “the 14/15 will pass, on the 16/17 I will take my church” — a word first tied to October 16–17, 2025, then to July 16–17, 2026. Both dates passed. A new framework arrives with it: world disasters since October 2025 read as the stages of labor, with the present at “the water has broken.”

October 4, 2026 — New Page: The Glossary
Akitu, Takultu, the Altar of Pergamon, MBS, Axis Mundi, the “tribulation clock” — the vocabulary on these channels can read as noise to an outside reader. It isn’t. The new glossary defines nearly fifty terms: what each one actually is, historically or scripturally, how it is used here, and where it appears in the record. It also shows how one framework has been rebuilt, layer by layer, after each failed date — and how the other documented subjects’ vocabularies differ.
September 28, 2026 — ENDTIME DREAM & VISION Walks Back Failed September Dates, Converges on October 11-12 with Dr Barry Awe
After its September 11 Feast of Trumpets and September 21 Day of Atonement windows passed without event, ENDTIME DREAM & VISION named a new October 11-12/20-21 window — independently matched two days later by Dr Barry Awe’s community post naming an October 12, 2026 “True Feast of Trumpets” date. Separately, The KoolestCat7-7-2-9 abandoned naming exact dates in favor of a world-event trigger, and documented critic Steve Campanelli mocked Rapture 2025 Confirmation’s own upcoming date and record of prior failures.

September 4, 2026 — New Evidence Piles Onto the September 11 Window; Campanelli Rebuts It
ENDTIME DREAM & VISION and Watchman River each added new supporting material to the September 11, 2026 Feast of Trumpets window first documented August 21 — a seven-year eclipse-alignment chart and a report tying Iran/Israel tensions to the same date, respectively. Documented critic Steve Campanelli published a direct two-part rebuttal rejecting the date outright.

August 21, 2026 — Three Channels Converge on a September Rapture Window
Three separately tracked channels named a rapture window in the same narrow band within a day of each other — September 10-12, 2026, the Feast of Trumpets — including Rapture 2025 Confirmation’s new reframe of the already-failed World Cup claim as an occult “Takultu” ceremony (September 11-22). Neither channel credits the others. Documented critic Steve Campanelli mocked the Takultu claim directly the next day.

July 30, 2026 — The World Cup Proof Point Is Abandoned; New Tishri 1 Date
After twelve days without original content, Joshua Mhlakela broke his silence not with another reframe of the World Cup proof point, but by dropping it entirely — his new video names a fresh, unrelated date anchor (the Hebrew New Year, “Tishri 1,” landing around October 11-13 by community calculation) with no acknowledgment that the old claim failed. A viewer noticed immediately: “World cup meant nothing? Now we’re just looking at any celebration/holiday?” The new framework is already internally inconsistent between his own videos. Christy remains silent.

July 23, 2026 — The “Delay” Reframe Spreads to Hlengiwe’s Circle
Christy’s “delay, not failure” framing — the same logic behind her Zedekiah paradox — showed up circulating natively in Hlengiwe’s own community, not just on Christy’s channel. A third-party channel published a clip of Hlengiwe and other community members discussing a post-World-Cup “Rapture delay,” which Christy then reshared. The same day, a critic in the comments of Hlengiwe’s own livestream invoked the biblical test for a “false prophet” against both her and Joshua — and a defender responded by naming all three tracked channels as a single unit standing together.

July 21, 2026 — New Page: The Authority Gatekeeping Argument
Christy Deurloo’s July 21 video argues that only ordained prophets or apostles have biblical authority to call a prophet false — so her critics have no standing to judge Joshua’s failed World Cup prediction. This new page checks that claim against scripture directly: every text she cites, read in context; the New Testament instructions on lay evaluation of prophecy she leaves out (1 Corinthians 14:29, Acts 17:11, Revelation 2:2, and more); and the self-refutation on record in her own video — she calls her critics false prophets in the same breath that argues laypeople can’t do that.
July 20–21, 2026 — From Redefinition to Immunization
One day after the World Cup trophy was presented at MetLife Stadium, Christy Williams Deurloo made her first direct acknowledgment of the outcome (“my heart sank a little… confused and disappointed”) while refusing to break with Joshua — then, the next day, published a 40-minute video arguing that her critics, not Joshua, are the actual “false prophets.” The core claim: only ordained prophets or apostles have biblical authority to judge a prophet, so no layperson’s critique of his failed prediction is valid. She also relocates the entire falsification standard from the World Cup to an indefinite horizon — “years and years and years.” Every prior reframe addressed what the prediction meant. This one addresses who is allowed to evaluate it, and by when.
Joshua Mhlakela broke his own two-day silence not with an explanation, but by resharing Christy’s post to his channel.

July 19, 2026 — The Trophy Is Presented
Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time at MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ. Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute. FIFA President Gianni Infantino and U.S. President Donald Trump co-presented the trophy to Spain’s captain on the pitch.
The original claim — attributed verbatim to Jesus in a May 14 community post — was “THERE WILL BE NO WORLD CUP 2026 FOR LIFE WILL NOT BE BUSINESS AS USUAL FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND.” That claim was subsequently reframed twice: first to “the World Cup will be cut short,” then to “the trophy will not be presented” (June 16). The trophy has now been presented. Every surface of the claim is exhausted.
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.
