I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?
What do your family members think of
Matthew 24:36 ESV
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.
Stupid cultists. This exact thing has happened for thousands of years. Some years back one of these rapture cults popped up and I mentioned to my coworker that the world was ending. His response: when’s it happening this time? Comedy gold.
Tiktok brain rot mixed with Christianity brain rot
Theres been at least 5 rapture days since ive been alive. Cult members REALLY like the idea that they’re super special moral beings with Gods favor. For some reason people get off on the idea everyone they don’t like or isn’t part of their tribe gets locked out of ‘paradise’ or better yet actively burns in hell forever. This vengenance fantasy extends to the idea of rapture where God personally singles them out as a favored one for heavenly ascension or whatever. I guess theres something appealing about this concept that really resonates with the kind of people who drink the coolaid, they just can’t let go and take the L. So we see the same story every 10 years or so a cult leader predicts the end of the world all their followers give up life savings destroy their life then when the day passes they quietly sweep it under the rug pretend it never happened to save themselves embarrassment.
They’ve been making apocalyptic predictions at least since John the Baptist. Eventually they’ll get it right, they just might need a few hundred more guesses.
A South African pastor had a dream and God told him the rapture was today. He posted and it went viral.
Oh nice a real answer! Thanks :)
It’s not. They did the same thing about 5 months ago. I have a religious friend and that was all the talk. Then when it didn’t happen, they claimed it wasn’t the right time.
Essentially, they have zero clue when it will be (because it doesn’t exist) and they continue to make up excuses for why it hasn’t happened. Religious people do some mental gymnastics that is hard for the non-religious person to understand.
Fun fact: The bible says that only God knows when the world will end, so everyone that says they know when it ends is technically comitting sacrilege.
I wish old testament God would come and smite them
Gonna take lots of warlocks and they will need lots of long rests
It’s not. It happened in 1988.
I thought it happened some December day in 2012?
Earth’s timeline went terminal on July 5th, 1998.
This is the first I’ve ever heard about that. Let me think where was I on that date? I was an army soldier living in South Korea and we may have had a monsoon that summer where significant mudslides came down from the ouijongbu mountains then we spent a few days shoveling mud and there were rumors of previously-buried corpses that had slid down from the mountains but I never saw any. But that may have happened in April or May or june or August, I really don’t remember.
It did you just didn’t get taken.
Randy savage was the only one holy enough to be raptured then
Nor did anyone else.
Yep why we are living through hell now.
I clearly recall my life was already hell before then.
Before we were just living through hell for fun
Some one read a book somewhere, did some shitty maths without converting ye oldy calendars with modern calendars and decided today was the day it all ends.
But it won’t, every rapture day has been a lie.
How do you know? Maybe all the true Christians really did get raptured, and that number just happens to be zero. This kind of does seem like hell on earth.
No unusual missing person reports today. Hmmmm did you say “true” christians?
THE END IS NEAR!
^(what exactly is ending is subject to interpretation)^
The end of my lunch break 🫤
The end is near, for a given value of “near.”
All Hail Zorp!
What do you mean? Every rapture day has been absolutely true. We’ve been raptured many times so far, like every other year.
People big dumb.
Well you see the Reasonablists book the park for today because the Ice Cream social was yesterday. So Zorp the Surveyor will come at dawn to eat our faces.
Hail Zorp!
Better get your checkbooks ready!!
I’ve been carving flutes for the last six weeks.
You can cash it tomorrow.
Because these people think they know better than God Himself, thinking they can infer the date of the rapture from religious texts.
Apparently some ultra religious tik tok accounts are saying that they know when it’s going down regardless of the bible stating that no man will know the day or the hour.
We watch if Australia goes offline then we know the hour.
Aah Y2K-Bug memories :-)
Got me, I only heard about it yesterday
I just hope none of these people are stupid enoigh to commit mass suicide with their families… I’ve seen some tik toks of Karens talking about how they did not send their kids to school today… I really hope none of them harms their kids.
That one guy sold his car, saying he wouldn’t need it in heaven.
Like, OK, this is crazy, but they often have a certain internal logic going. I don’t get this one. You don’t need the car (presumably), but you don’t need the money, either. Why bother?
If they actually believe that bullshit, chances are pretty good they’re already harming their kids psychologically at the very least.
I’ve heard that in some places Facebook marketplace is really busy as they’re dumping all physical possessions.
Why bother? Need money to get to Heaven?
Some are just giving it away. The rest… Well, they’re not smart.
No many aren’t smart. It can also be MH or the effect of cult brainwashing though
