Could we be looking at the end of humanity this October?
A viral video is making waves online with a controversial claim: that Daniel 9:24 has been mistranslated in every English Bible. With slick graphics and a confident tone, the video asserts that the phrase “seventy weeks are determined upon your people and your holy city” is based on a linguistic error—and that the original Hebrew text never referred to “weeks” at all. Even more concerning, the video concludes by predicting the rapture will occur this October, 2025.

While the video may appear credible to the average viewer, those trained in biblical Hebrew quickly recognize the flaws. In a recent Prophecy Watchers video, Mondo Gonzales and Lee Brainard discuss how the errors of AI are leading people to believe biblical inaccuracies.
“You have ChatGPT using probably just modern Hebrew, which is written unpointed,” Brainard says.
“They are saying something that is wrong,” says Gonzales. “You can catch [ChatGPT] in errors right there in your conversations, and you can call it out.”
With the utilization of unchecked AI to create content, these inaccuracies have unfortunately cast doubt for many on Scripture’s accuracy, such as this date-setting prophecy for the end times. Predicting the rapture or end times based on misunderstood language or cherry-picked verses is not only irresponsible but spiritually misleading.
As new technologies emerge and content becomes more persuasive, believers must sharpen their discernment. AI is a useful tool, but it is not a theologian. Viral videos may be convincing, but they are not authoritative. God has preserved His Word through centuries of faithful scholarship, translation and Spirit-led interpretation. That legacy should not be so quickly dismissed.
