A wave of speculation is sweeping TikTok, where thousands of users are posting videos suggesting that today could mark the biblical Rapture.
The social media buzz, often tagged as #RaptureTok, centers on predictions tied to the Jewish holiday of Rosh Hashanah. One pastor from South Africa claimed he saw a vision of Jesus returning on September 23 or 24, insisting he was “a billion percent sure.”
The Rapture is a belief held by many Christians — especially in evangelical and fundamentalist traditions — that at some point in the future, Jesus will return and instantly “catch up” (rapture) believers from Earth to be with Him.
That certainty has sparked both curiosity and concern. Some followers say they’ve given away possessions or quit their jobs in preparation, while others are responding with satire, joking about what being “left behind” might mean for rent payments or daily life.
Biblical scholars and pastors caution against setting specific dates. The Bible itself says “no one knows the day or the hour,” warning that failed predictions often leave believers disillusioned.
For now, the conversation continues online, where belief, doubt, and humor are all colliding in real time.
