Why is today "rature day"?

I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?
It's not. It happened in 1988.

Why bother? Need money to get to Heaven?
Some are just giving it away. The rest... Well, they're not smart.

I thought it happened some December day in 2012?

It's not. They did the same thing about 5 months ago. I have a religious friend and that was all the talk. Then when it didn't happen, they claimed it wasn't the right time.
Essentially, they have zero clue when it will be (because it doesn't exist) and they continue to make up excuses for why it hasn't happened. Religious people do some mental gymnastics that is hard for the non-religious person to understand.
Fun fact: The bible says that only God knows when the world will end, so everyone that says they know when it ends is technically comitting sacrilege.

They've been making apocalyptic predictions at least since John the Baptist. Eventually they'll get it right, they just might need a few hundred more guesses.

Nor did anyone else.

THE END IS NEAR!
^(what exactly is ending is subject to interpretation)^
The end is near, for a given value of "near."

Earth's timeline went terminal on July 5th, 1998.

Because these people think they know better than God Himself, thinking they can infer the date of the rapture from religious texts.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Theres been at least 5 rapture days since ive been alive. Cult members REALLY like the idea that they're super special moral beings with Gods favor. For some reason people get off on the idea everyone they don't like or isn't part of their tribe gets locked out of 'paradise' or better yet actively burns in hell forever. This vengenance fantasy extends to the idea of rapture where God personally singles them out as a favored one for heavenly ascension or whatever. I guess theres something appealing about this concept that really resonates with the kind of people who drink the coolaid, they just can't let go and take the L. So we see the same story every 10 years or so a cult leader predicts the end of the world all their followers give up life savings destroy their life then when the day passes they quietly sweep it under the rug pretend it never happened to save themselves embarrassment.

What do your family members think of
Matthew 24:36 ESV
But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.

I just hope none of these people are stupid enoigh to commit mass suicide with their families... I've seen some tik toks of Karens talking about how they did not send their kids to school today... I really hope none of them harms their kids.
That one guy sold his car, saying he wouldn't need it in heaven.
Like, OK, this is crazy, but they often have a certain internal logic going. I don't get this one. You don't need the car (presumably), but you don't need the money, either. Why bother?

I wish old testament God would come and smite them
