🚨 JESUS IS NOT COMING BACK ON THE 23RD OR 24TH OF SEPTEMBER 2025 🚨 There will be NO RAPTURE on those dates. Christianity is not built on dreams, false visions, or sensational podcasts. Tell Brother Enigma and all these false visionaries: STOP THE CONFUSION.
2025 is the Jubilee Holy Year, the 2,025th anniversary of the Incarnation of our Lord, an "event of great spiritual, ecclesial, and social significance in the life of the Church." The concept of "Jubilee" has its origins in the Book of Leviticus (chapter 25) as a special year of reconciliation, pilgrimage, and coming ...
Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour

The world will not end, but this age of man's rule will end. Satan, the instigator of sin and suffering, will be banished for 1,000 years, and this world will be transformed into a place of peace and justice. The reality of Christ's second coming is our world's greatest and only true hope.

This may be divided into four major steps: (1) the incarnation, (2) the crucifixion, (3) the resurrection, and (4) the ascension.
Mary was making memories. She was collecting a sort of mental scrapbook. The other key word in this verse is the word, “pondered.” The Greek word means “to throw thoughts together; mull over, draw conclusions, consider, confer mentally.” Another definition for ponder is to wonder at a deep level.

Pope Leo XIV closed the last open door marking the end of a year of pilgrimage, mercy, and renewal in Rome. And this isn't the end. The Holy Door is slated to reopen in 2033 for a special Jubilee of the Redemption, commemorating 2,000 years since Jesus' death and resurrection.
So there will be no rapture on the Feast of Trumpets this year 2025. It won't happen since Sept 23-24 can't be after the tribulation, which hasn't even started yet. Even Jonathan Cahn is saying it could happen, it might happen. No, absolutely not.

The Holy Father has decided that 2025 will be a year of Jubilee, something which happens every 25 years. The theme is “Pilgrims of Hope”, and it will be a year of hope for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and a climate crisis.
