"People on TikTok presently are giving advice to "look up" when you are levitated into the air and "pray that you aren't on the toilet." Evangelicals on TikTok are warning each other to make sure to leave their phones unlocked and to leave their nonbeliever spouses and partners the passwords they will need to survive the Rapture's aftermath. They, the Christians, will be flying up to meet God in the next couple of days."
"For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air."
A wave of conservative content creators on TikTok warned that the Rapture could occur on Sept. 23 or Sept. 24, urging believers to "look up," leave phones unlocked, and give passwords to nonbelieving partners. The Rapture belief holds that Christians, alive and dead, will be taken up to be with Christ, often imagined as literal levitation into the air. Most Rapture theology is derived from 1 Thessalonians 4:15–17, which describes the dead in Christ rising and living believers being caught up in the clouds to meet the Lord. Social-media reactions mix literal expectation with practical advice for an abrupt removal.
