Short Summary
- Recurring end-times predictions generate massive short-term hype, often leading followers to make drastic life changes without evidence.
- The foundation of these prophecies usually rests on singular, unverified claims from individuals claiming direct divine communication.
- Scriptural context confirms that predicting the exact timing of the rapture is considered impossible, highlighting the flaw in believing these forecasts.

nah bro i’m in heaven rn they got free wifi just wait for your time zones
Jesus said "No man will know the day nor hour of my coming" so I have no idea why people keep falling for this
good job for surving the 152nd rapture guys
I think they missed the “No one will know the day or the hour” line in the dev notes about the next update
My mom was convinced it would happen and gave me her bank details and stuff because she thought I’d deadass be left behind 😭
As a Christian, it’s insane seeing psychosis become mainstream, so many people took this wayyyy too seriously.
Imagine it actually was the rapture but no one is worthy
maybe the real rapture was the friends we made along the way...
