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?
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
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.
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!!
You can cash it tomorrow.
I’ve been carving flutes for the last six weeks.
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.
Exactly that. AFAIK, the Catholic church (and maybe others too) condemns claiming to know rapture day as a sure sign of being a false prophet.
The Chinese State-run Church also does
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.
People big dumb.
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.
Before we were just living through hell for fun
I clearly recall my life was already hell before then.
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
Got me, I only heard about it yesterday

Because these people think they know better than God Himself, thinking they can infer the date of the rapture from religious texts.
Thanksgiving family dinner sure is going to be interesting.
Because religious people are stupid and easily manipulated. Hence why they are religious to begin with.
Today is the Day of Trumpets, which happened to be the day Messiah Yeshua returns in the future, after some things happen. This Jesuit hype happens every year, and they (the Jesuits) will eventually stage a fake Rapture and traumatize those who didn’t “make it”… if they hadn’t faked a Rapture already.
One more piece of proof is that the term “Rapture” is nowhere found in the Scriptures. People being taken up has to do specifically with something else entirely (I don’t remember it off the top of my head right now). This is from my producer’s research on the matter, which I attempted to verify myself.
Yeah, the whole idea of the Rapture is extra-Biblical. Invented in 1830 by John Nelson Darby.
That seems to be futurist language that is used, whereas my producer and I are not futurists (for we’d be Jesuit fraudsters if we believed that). It’s also found in dispensation theology, which is a pot of crock too.
