Countdown to the Great 9/23 Delusion And Your Invitation Back to the Garden.

By Michael Q. Pink

September 15, 2025


We are just two days out from September 18th and only one week out from what millions believe will be the rapture of the church on September 23rd, 2025. I call it The Great 9/23 Delusion.

In my recent video addressing that, I did not explain why all the rationale I’ve seen and the many “confirmation” dreams I’ve heard about are wrong. I just made the claim that it will not happen on that date.

I am not against my brothers and sisters in Christ who have fallen for this mass delusion. I love my Christian family, as dysfunctional as it often is. Some of my closest friends are caught up in this delusion, but not because of lack of study, or complacency towards God.

They believe it because the evidence presented looks very solid.

But there is one problem, it’s all predicated on an error.

When Jeremiah prophesied the 70-year captivity of Babylon, it wasn’t meant to be interpreted as 65 years, followed by a timeout, and then conclude with 5 final years of captivity. Daniel understood those 70 years would run concurrently.

When God told Israel they would have to wait another 40 years before entering the Promised Land because of their unbelief, it was understood to be 40 years concurrently, not 33 years followed by an undetermined amount of time, and then maybe 200 years later, the last seven years would count down.

When God told Abram his descendants would be afflicted 400 years, no one thought it might be 100 years here, followed by a reprieve and then at some time in the future, the final 300 years would count down.

Everyone knew those 400 years would run concurrently. And yes, I know that God also warned He reserved the option to extend a time of judgment by a factor of seven times under certain conditions, but never was there a gap.

It would be like sentencing a thief to seven years in jail, with five years starting now, and the last two years would be served at some far-off date, to be determined.

God’s ways aren’t ours, but they’re not illogical either.

So, when Daniel prophesied that “Seventy weeks are determined for your people and for your holy city…” why does it make sense to anyone that there would be 69 weeks (483 years) followed by a rubber band stretching 2000 years, and then finally the last week (7 years) of Daniel would play out?

I know why… It’s because that’s what you’ve been told. Hence the need to understand and utilize the “wheel” I talk about in my Supernatural Business classes.

Years ago, when it hit me that of course the 70th week of Daniel immediately followed the 69th week, I announced that to a friend and he said, “Doesn’t it always?!?!”

When you understand that the sacrifice of Jesus put an end to the sacrificial system, and that He was indeed cut down in the middle of the 70th week, that changes your expectations of what’s coming next.

Some say Jesus was crucified in 32 A.D., which they say was 4,000 years from Adam.

Perhaps they’re right.

They then add 2000 years, and get to the year 2032, which they say marks the end of the six, 1000-year days appointed to mankind.

I don’t know if they’re right about their calculations, so I’m not going to quibble. Seems reasonable though.

They then back 7 years off of the year 2032 and come up with next week (9/23/2025). Their math is right, but it hinges on interpreting the 70th week of Daniel starting at some future date instead of immediately following the 69th week, which in my humble and sanctified common-sense opinion makes no sense.

That doesn’t mean that September 23rd or even the 18th passes with nothing newsworthy. The spiritual wickedness in high places has very wicked plans for not only America, but the world, and I’m also aware of some the UN agenda, etc.

This month has a high probability of historic geopolitical incidents, but it won’t be the rapture. I realize you may strongly disagree, and I mean no animas towards you or anyone else. Let’s just see what the world looks like after the 23rd.

When we realize that September 23rd came and went without a rapture, there is no place for gloating or “told you so”, etc. I’m hoping the church will put on its big boy britches and be about the business of tending the garden God gave us while we still have the freedom to do so! (See yesterday’s blog!)

We all have a small garden to first of all care for. It is our heart. Nothing gets planted in the heart that hasn’t passed through the mind, and nothing gets planted in the mind that you haven’t chosen (for the most part) to take in.

Changing your input – or at least broadening it – will change your perspective on the garden God has given all of us to care for and protect!

But we also have a bigger garden.

Think of it like a community garden. If we neglect it, the weeds will overtake it. Indeed, many community gardens have already succumbed to the weeds. If we lose too many community gardens, we lose the country.

As I said yesterday, “He who tends the garden, gets the city!”

If you’re remotely interested in learning God’s approach to prospering in the garden He gave you, and using your acquired influence and resources for good, then I invite you to join me this Thursday evening at 8 PM Eastern for our next Supernatural Business meeting.

In this meeting, I’m going to help you face and demolish doubts so you can take the territory God has assigned to you. It will be a doozie!

Interested?
