Rapture Theories and Predictions Cause Social Media Frenzy

A wave of Rapture predictions has taken over social media, particularly TikTok, as users speculate about the end of the world. Various influencers and religious figures have suggested imminent dates for the Rapture, sparking widespread discussions and some anxiety among followers. A notable prediction by South African pastor Joshua Mhlakela set September 23 as a significant date, leading to a flurry of activity under the hashtag #RaptureTok. However, as the predicted day passed without event, many believers expressed disappointment, prompting discussions about what happens when these prophecies fail. Experts have weighed in, explaining the biblical basis of the Rapture and why such predictions continue to capture public imagination despite previous failures. Amidst the chaos, conversations around the end times explore both serious beliefs and humorous reactions to failed doomsday expectations.
