Why is today "rature day"?
Why is today "rature day"?
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.
-
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.

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
-
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.

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 :)

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.
-
What do you mean? Every rapture day has been absolutely true. We've been raptured many times so far, like every other year.
-
THE END IS NEAR!
(what exactly is ending is subject to interpretation)
-
Will there be a cool Ender Dragon fight in the End?
-
The end of my lunch break 🫤
-
The end is near, for a given value of "near."

All Hail Zorp!

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 :-)

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.
-
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.

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.

People big dumb.

There have been so many predictions on endtimes which is kinda funny since the whole specific biblical thing about that not happening. Still preachers will preach it like they are not contradicting their whole religion. I mean like propserity doctrine so...
-
Today is just Tuesday, you have been misinformed.
-
That's the day M. Bison came to my village!
-
Oh I dont believe it one bit. Even in the bible it says we wont know (like a thief in the night) so its funny to hear all this online.
-
Wednesday here, no rapture. Surprise surprise.
-
-
Got me, I only heard about it yesterday
-
-
yes-yes. Honor the great horned rat, by offer-giving cheese, man-thing!
-
-
Just self important virtue signaling from people who believe they're better than you.
If you want to fuck with some folks leave a few full sets of clothing on the ground in places like whoever wore them disappeared.
Also fun can be finding someone who believes today is the day and then laugh at them tomorrow about how it actually did happen but they didn't (no one did) make the cut.
-
Because religious people are stupid and easily manipulated. Hence why they are religious to begin with.
-
you'll find out at 2:00PM PST ;)

huh, it's 0400 on wednesday in new york and everybody is still here sooo

Well, shit, I knew I shouldn't have disabled push notifications...

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.

My wife told me about this last night, just another doomsday cult pulling a date out of their ass... Not sure which one.
Google says:
Oh, fucking TikTok... naturally.

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.
