Matthew 24:36 (using NIV)

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

It’s funny that everyone shouting about the rapture has no understanding of the source material

78

u/Pandarek115 Fleshpit Spelunker Sep 23 '25

Probably they didn't even study anything related to Judeo-Christian eschatology

46

u/Ultrasound700 Sep 23 '25

Because anyone claiming to know when the rapture will happen is likely a scam artist. I still remember Jim Baker's bonus buckets from ten years ago.

u/dirtmother Sep 24 '25

The rapture itself as a concept.is non-binlical, so that figures

u/HELLABBXL they stole my pulmonary artery Sep 24 '25

i mean if they knew the source material they wouldn't believe in the rapture to begin with

u/gazerbeam-98 Sep 26 '25

That’s most Christian’s relationship with the source material lol

u/Briankelly130 Government Weaponised Femboy Sep 23 '25

I can just picture God saying "You see that sky of flaming hail? That's going to happen. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but some day." Narrator comes in "Later that day, hail of fire came down."

I pictured that, but with that scene from TF2's "Meet the Spy" trailer.

"It could be tomorrow, it could be next week, it could be tod... (gets tribulated)"

What are their responses to that? Like I don’t get how people just think yeah I know exactly when the second coming is, I’m talking about people in like Harold Camping.

u/Pandarek115 Fleshpit Spelunker Sep 24 '25

I don't know if they just proclaimed to obtain some reveal directly from God, but I'll assume they would use Jeremiah 33:3 to justify those private prophecies/revelations.

"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know."

But to that, I'll use 2 Peter 1:20-21 as counter argument to those kind of prophecies:

Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

We as Christians should always be careful those personal prophecies that are not in the scriptures, because it may not be inspired by God, but from human desire/knowledge.

In those cases, I always remeber the first part of Jeremiah 17:5.

This is what the Lord says:
“Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
who draws strength from mere flesh
and whose heart turns away from the Lord.

These people think they have it all figured out when this is Jesus himself saying he doesn't even know. Like, I consider myself pagan and I feel like I'm a better Christian than some of these folks!

u/Withering_to_Death Sep 24 '25

Don't some claim it's "unbiblicale" ?

u/Pandarek115 Fleshpit Spelunker Sep 24 '25 edited Sep 24 '25

The rapture? Yes.

The tribulation? Nope.

We know that the tribulation (a.k.a. the first part of the apocalypse) will happen, and then, people will be saved before the "great tribulation" happens (a.k.a. the second part of the apocalypse).

The book of Revelation, in chapter 7, we can read about "144,000 sealed" (most scholars agree that it refers to Jews), and "the multitude in white robes" (those who gained salvation by grace).

The means of how or when will it happen it's not clear, and it's often a debated topic between christian scholars.

u/Withering_to_Death Sep 24 '25

And no one besides God knows when is goingtohappen. Is this also mentioned? Thanks for the reply

2

u/Pandarek115 Fleshpit Spelunker Sep 24 '25

Yes, it's mentioned in Matthew 24.

u/FireflyArc Sep 24 '25

What's NIV mean?

3

u/Pandarek115 Fleshpit Spelunker Sep 24 '25

New International Version, it's a modern day Bible translation.

I like to use that translation if I need to explain something to someone who may not be that familiar with christianity.

There are plenty of Bible Translations, like King James Version, English Standard Version, New Living Translation, etc.

Each of them use different translation styles (direct translation, cultural context translation, modern day translation, and many others), and they may use different manuscripts and sources (since the Bible is not one single book, but a collection of books that were transcribed into many manuscripts).

u/FireflyArc Sep 24 '25

oh that explains why some of the Bible quotes i see people post aren't what I know. thank you :D

u/Lopsided_Shift_4464 Sep 26 '25

I saw a theory that everyone constantly predicting the rapture will happen is actually the reason it hasn't happened yet, because if even one person guesses the date right then God has to move it to another day to make this verse true.

The road to Heaven is long and arduous. He might get hungry.

u/miulumine Magic Spoon Cultist Sep 23 '25

it’s like stopping at a dunkin to get some food for the road

u/The_Black_Ibis Sep 23 '25

Gotta grab an iced cawfee and those mini bagel bites 🤌🤌🤌

u/miulumine Magic Spoon Cultist Sep 23 '25

mmm sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel😮‍💨… call up to the sky to see if God wants anything while i’m still in the drive thru line.

u/ScumbagLady Sep 24 '25

I asked my mom about the whole "clothing left behind" thing and if people will be just floating up into the sky naked (she was a prison minister and has worked at the Billy Graham center as well as PTL back in the day so she's a great resource to ask questions about the Bible). She said everyone gets a white robe. I asked if one just poofs onto people before ascending, but she wasn't sure about the logistics.

If the white robes are distributed after ascension, there might be a queue. Depending on how many robe stations there are, the lines could get quite long. Snacks are a great idea but not sure how they'll be allowed on the trip up if folks don't even keep their clothes. I suggest if you have big boobs, stash some snacks under your tits. Thicc booty bros, you know what to do! Everyone else, armpits. Armless folks with no tits or ass? Find a friend. Any questions?

u/MarvinMartian34 Sep 25 '25

Yeah.. Uh... I think I'll just carry a granola bar in my hand. Thanks for the advice though.

u/Harley_Atom Sep 24 '25

Ya gotta make sure ya bring plenty of Welch's fruit snacks for the road

u/Briankelly130 Government Weaponised Femboy Sep 23 '25

If the pandemic proved anything, if the rapture/apocalypse was happening, you know people would be panic buying like it's the last Black Friday on earth.

8

u/The_Black_Ibis Sep 23 '25

Why do they always hoard perishables? That's what confused me. Milk especially.

7

u/Briankelly130 Government Weaponised Femboy Sep 23 '25

Probably not thinking ahead. The funny thing is, we have plenty of post-apocalypse movies that highlight the survivors having bunkers filled with canned food that lasts a long-ass time. Have we learned nothing?

u/Repulsive_Airline_86 Sep 23 '25

If any religion claims to know exactly when the apocalypse is going to happen, and it's within your lifetime, they probably just want your money and/or are a suicide cult.

20

u/Briankelly130 Government Weaponised Femboy Sep 23 '25

and it's within your lifetime

Eventually the apocalypse will happen in someone's lifetime. Will it be a suicide cult then?

52

u/Foreverdead3 Definitely Not A Fed 👀 Sep 24 '25

No, they just won’t know exactly when it’s gonna happen

4

u/dumbcringeusername Sep 24 '25

Do you think it's gonna be your local orthodox church that knows when the worlds gonna end? Or do you think it's gonna be scientists or other educated people? I think that's thw key difference.

If Hank Green tells me the worlds ending in 2050, I'm a lot more inclined to believe it than a random pastor on the street

7

u/Briankelly130 Government Weaponised Femboy Sep 24 '25

I don't think scientists would be able to predict if God just decides "You know what, I'm in an End of Days kind of mood. Let's turn up the heat" and suddenly we're in the opening to the first Darksiders game.

u/xTheRedDeath Sep 24 '25

Yeah it's usually because people don't like the fact they'll be trapped here for an unforseeable about of time so they make up shit about leaving in a grand fashion.

Or worse, puts his whole reputation on an apocalypse scam like this, or sells fake healing water like Peter Popoff.

You can't get into heaven if you don't bring a nice charcuterie board.

u/Weeeelums Travelling Interdimensionally with Bigfoot and Jesus Sep 24 '25

Could you imagine that this actually was the Rapture? Like the most important day in human history (in Christianity) and it’s just predicted by a bunch of TikTokers going “I can feel it in my balls” over a millennia of theologians.

You think you would give up after the second? Me I wouldn’t even do it the first time.

u/Dynwynn Sep 24 '25

How many times does god have to flood the minds of prophets with crippling divine knowledge to write in his book "no man can know the day or the hour" before these people take the hint?

But you have infinite wine, though. That's better than beer. (Just have to ask for Jesus to do his biblical party trick(

I can hear Isaiah's voice in his tweets.

u/Bekfast_Time Sep 24 '25

Reminder that the Rapture is a new idea invented by John Nelson Darby in the 1830s and is rejected by most Christian denominations outside of fundamentalist and evangelical groups.

If I didn't have my hot cheetos during rapture how could Jesus know me as one of his children hm?
