‘It’s prime time for rapture talk’: TikTok gets its first ‘world is ending’ moment

Evangelical Christians on #RaptureTok are warning others of doom on 23 or 24 September - and sharing how they're prepping

If you believe a vocal cohort of evangelical Christians on social media, consider Tuesday 23 September - or maybe Wednesday 24 September - a wrap on this whole society thing. For the first time, the rapture is playing out on TikTok.

Believers have taken to the app to disclose their preparation for impending doom, claiming to have sold their cars or requested eternity leave" from their employers, and fretting over whether the family dog gets to come to heaven too. One woman advised her followers to do away with their phones' password protections, so that any loved ones that get left behind can easily access their personal information. Another bought Bibles in bulk at Dollar Tree, which she planned to leave behind with personalized notes in hopes of saving some last-minute converts.
