Fears are mounting that an ancient Biblical event where countless Christians disappear from Earth is just hours away.
Believers on social media platforms like TikTok have reached the point of hysteria over this prophecy, expressing their excitement for the end of days and even offering tips on how to handle being lifted into the sky to meet their maker.
The phenomenon, dubbed RaptureTok, has exploded in recent weeks after faith leaders started pushing the idea that the Rapture will begin on September 23, marking the Second Coming of Jesus and Judgment Day for non-believers.
Although the Bible never set a date for this event, and Christians have been actively discouraged from attempting to set dates for the Rapture throughout history, many have claimed the signs are there on Tuesday.
‘What are we going to see whenever the sky literally opens up and then we go up? I don’t know, but I can’t wait to find,’ one believer said in a YouTube video on Sunday.
Others have been claiming they’ve had visions or experienced strange coincidences involving the number 923 in their daily routine.
Some RaptureTok videos have received tens of thousands of views, including one where a man kept repeatedly saying ‘Jesus is coming’ next to the caption ‘these are the last days’. It has been watched more than 488,000 times.
Even respected pastors and rabbis have pointed out other signs that the Rapture could be nearing, including its aligning with the Jewish Feast of Trumpets and certain star constellations converging, which some interpret as fulfilling biblical prophecies.
Despite the Rapture becoming a viral sensation this month, many faith leaders and biblical scholars have continued to caution against an apocalyptic surprise tomorrow.
The prophecy mentioned in the Bible, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, states that even the faithful who have died will rise from their graves and be taken to heaven by Jesus.
Vladimir Savchuk, a pastor, author, and YouTube preacher, further debunked the September 23 claims, adding that scripture says the son of perdition must be revealed first, referring to a figure often interpreted as the Antichrist.
