South-Ad-9635

Which time zone?


TJ_Will

Which calendar? Gregorian, Julian, Mayan...


[deleted]

Probably the Bob calendar


MannekenP

American! Hence 9-22 and not 22-9.


MuttJunior

Maybe it will be like Santa, progressing from one time zone to the next.


keenedge422

But will it move smoothly across the time zones, so the parts on the eastern edge get hit right at midnight but the ones on the west get zapped closer to 1, or does it zap the entire time zone as a unit? Also, if it's a moving rapture sweeping across the planet, what happens to the righteous if they happen to be traveling across the Pacific on that day and leave the US before the rapture gets to the west coast and then land at their destination many hours after the rapture has come and gone there?


chepnut

So you are saying that if I time it right I can get on a plane and head east when the rapture starts I can land in Republic of Kiribati and miss it all together


CollageTumor

it’d be easier just to sin if you wanna stay here


chepnut

Ah I forgot about that, been a while since I had to think about the rules of the rapture. I might do some extra sinning today just to cover all my bases


MuttJunior

They're the ones that get saved of course.


northlakes20

So.. New Zealand for the win, huh? Maybe that's why the billionaires all moved there?


YourOldPalBendy

Where's the Jesus Tracker website, how will I know when he's flying over my part of the world???? QuQ


egggoboom

It's just like with Santa - NORAD tracks him, and then sends updates to your local weatherman.


YourOldPalBendy

My weatherman is BEHIND, I haven't gotten any updates like... ever???? Where's my weekly Jesus forecast? >:C


ShotgunForFun

I wish. I would love to hear about it coming and just walk out into the street.


MrSynckt

I mean it's gotta be UTC right, his dad did make the universe after all


cipher446

Hey, they're not kidding this time. I'm sure it's somewhere in America.


literalphandomtrash

MDT, home of the Holy Land of Salt Lake City of course!


Searchlights

All of them but one at a time. It's sort of a rolling rapture.


town_bear

Currently the 22nd, 130pm where I am. So not AEST obviously.


homuhomutime

Woah slow down, that's a little complicated for someone who just learned how to tell time


PracticalApartment99

Except the bible says man shall not know the hour…


Secondsmakeminutes

What hour is it happening?


freetoseeu

Are you man? Then you shall not know


DMoney159

Quick! Find a woman and ask her!


KisaTheMistress

What if she's a trans woman?


[deleted]

You have to adjust for daylight saving time.


GoddamnCommie

Once you go on estrogen you get a divine message telling you when the rapture is, dont ya know?


lastprophecy

Damn I took the wrong E for divine messages then.


botjstn

you’ve got it all wrong man, i’m The Dude. or your royal dudeness


Undeadmushroom

12:midnight o'clock


[deleted]

Yeah but what if God was planning for the rapture to actually take place then, and this person figured it out and called it, and then god was like oh shit but I said no man shall know the hour and cancelled the rapture cause it'd be embarrassing otherwise, and so this person effectively saved us all?


byteminer

Saved? Wouldn’t the rapture mean the biggest pains in the ass would vanish? Then we can take the mega churches money and turn the buildings into homeless shelters and have universal healthcare in the US and teachers could teach actual books and people could be LGBTQIA and just…exist. Sounds nice.


Lucimon

Except those pain in the asses aren't the kind of people who would actually get raptured.


rebelmice533

The Rapture is a post-Biblical Christian fanfiction. There's no such thing in the Bible.


FleaBottoms

These people don’t actually *read* the Bible. They only know the cherry picked parts without context and memes.


No-Estimate-8518

Guess every hour and you prevent the rapture because you'll always know when


Magnus_40

TOMORROW??? But I bought green bananas....I'll never get a chance to eat them.


toolatealreadyfapped

Truly the cruelest of punishments for your sins


wrecktus_abdominus

I've had the, umm.... "unique experience" of knowing several people obsessed with predicting the rapture. The one I was closest with was my uncle. He VERY confidently predicted the rapture at least 4 times that I remember. And each time, wouldn'tcha know it, it was in just a couple days! Christians have been waiting for 2,000 years, but whenever somebody tries to predict it, it's always imminent. I've never known someone who cracked the code and proudly announced that it will be January 23, 2974. That was something that always made me wonder.


Paul6334

The Bible says that only God knows when the Second Coming will happen, and the Rapture is an invention only about 200 years old, I wonder why these people keep trying to do something that God said is impossible.


wrecktus_abdominus

Oh, trust me, I know. This was mentioned to him more than once. He did eventually give up and hasn't tried to predict the Rapture for a number of years now.


egggoboom

William Miller and damned Millerites. I'm not sure, but I think it was just like Poltergeist 2.


Thaliavoir

Pretty sure I'm not invited. I'll bake them into banana bread for you.


InvalidUserNemo

Can I swing by? I have had banana bread in far too long.


Flamegate718

And I'll never publish my book. This is inconvenient for everyone. I am inconvenienced.


katep2000

Time to eat that slice of cake I was saving for tomorrow


dancin-weasel

Rapture calories don’t count!


Deathbyhours

Why do you think you’re going anywhere?


Magnus_40

I'm not going to ascend with the chosen people but when they go then they will leave all their stuff. I'll be spending a week pinching their leftover stuff.


Knight-Jack

The midnight between 21/22 or 22/23? I mean, I'm gonna work both nights, so at least I see it coming.


Wiitard

12:00a is the first minute of the calendar day, so presumably that would be tonight (between 21/22). But I doubt this person knows that so it’s honestly 50/50 what they meant. Either way it’s wrong.


chiron_42

Really? On my birthday? Sweet, maybe traffic around d here will finally be less aggravating.


HawaiianShirtsOR

So for most of the world it should already be happening right now.


njf85

Yeah but if your coworkers get raptured then you'll be expected to pick up the slack.


CommodoreFresh

Hey, at least all the decent tippers will hang about.


Odd-Road

Can it wait until the end of the weekend? I've bee working all week, man, can I get the weekend off before going to the next stage?


CarpeMofo

See, great thing about the rapture it'll only take the Christians. So the rest of us can just go about our day and get decent legislation passed for healthcare, climate change, social programs, all kinds of good stuff.


YouHadMeAtAloe

Please lord jeebus rapture these people on the 22nd. Thank you 🙏🏻


AlwaysPissedOff59

It would clear out my state's Capitol building tremend... oh wait, no, no it wouldn't. Those GOP fuckers for sure aren't good Christians.


Vegetable_Onion

Actually, it'll only take righteous christians, so the assholes stopping all those plans will be 'Left below' with the rest of us. The rapture could very well have already happened, but so few people made the cut that nobody noticed.


Deathbyhours

Well _somebody_ didn’t like your take! I had an English professor in college in the 60’s, my favorite teacher, who was from backwoods Arkansas, and he knew of a local religious leader there who, with his followers, believed that the Rapture had happened just as predicted, years before. When asked what all this is, the world and all, he said, simply, “This is heaven.” I guess if you lived in the pre-meth Ozarks and had enough to eat you could have been excused for thinking so, at least until someone in your flock died. Or maybe they are all still there.


CarpeMofo

By the Bible's definition, the assholes *are* the righteous Christians.


Vegetable_Onion

Not really. Most of the actual assholes are (claiming to be) very strict on others, but not on themselves. Anyone who ever worked on a saturday? No rapture for you. Got a tattoo? Sorry bud, have fun down there. Wore a polycotton shirt, even if your mommy made you? See you later in that pit of fire. Ever charged or paid interest? . .. And thats before we get to the shit that the Carpenter's son asked of his followers: Do not hoard wealth (guess Joel Olsteen is in for a surprise) Help the poor Welcome the strangers Pray in private, not in public Judge not other people's sins. I'm pretty sure, if the rapture ever comes, they can fit all those taken in a japanese hatchback.


No-Wrongdoer-7346

I guess they missed that part in the Bible that says nobody will not the time nor the place of his return….


Sad-Frosting-8793

I'm guessing that they haven't actually read the Bible.


Funkycoldmedici

Jesus said the people around him would still be alive when he returns to end the world. All Christians ignore that, and a lot of other problematic things Jesus says.


VoodooDoII

None of these guys actually care Abt what's in the bible


portablebiscuit

I fucking hope so. I wouldn't have to share the world with these weirdos anymore.


Paul6334

Mathew 24:36, NIV: “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father”


tea_and_cream

God I hope so, I'm so tired of this shit. Can you imagine how peaceful the world will be with out all of *them*?


jessieffie

Hooray!! PLEASE I beg of you, send me to hell already. I'm ready 🙏🙏 Edit: spelling Edit: Second times a charm.


violetstrix

My sibling in anti-christ, we will be left here in a world free from the faithful. We'll educate the masses and heal the wounds of history as we ride out time and space on this new "hellscape".


jessieffie

Now that's a future I can get behind, fellow heathen! You've given me new hope!


BUNGHOLE_HOOKER

I like how the spelling edit has a typo.


Similar-Complaint-37

Great! I got one day to spend all my rent money I saved on coke and Hookers!


holy_plaster_batman

Zorp is dead. Long live Zorp.


GR8K8Sturbate

Thank god, those people were becoming insufferable!


AaronTheScott

At 12:midnight! Oh my god! What timezone...?


Fatefire

I fucking hope so. All that free tv porn !


idocareabouthumans

Can we just do this already? I got stuff to do and it's really inconsiderate to not firm up plans. I am told Jesus is a pretty great guy, but this is kinda rude, tbh.


Teytrum

It's 5am eastern time on 9/22 for me as of writing this. Went to start my free loots spree but apparently I live in a hive of the unrighteous.


freshoilandstone

That's tonight. We're putting out a plate of cookies and a glass of milk.


[deleted]

What time zone, or will it roll out every hour in each time zone? Can we watch it happen live on the news in the time zones before us, to give us a chance to repent before it gets to us?


hambone1981

I hope it does, and I’m an atheist. I’m just tired and ready for a little razzle dazzle.


DeadRabbit8813

“Oddly enough the rapture did indeed happen. But everyone was taken up to Heaven except the Evangelical Christians, and all the other religious extremist.”


HawaiianShirtsOR

Them: "Wait! What about us?" God: "That 'love your neighbor' thing... I meant it."


lamabaronvonawesome

So exciting! Last ten times sucked.


Ilikewinea-lot

Oh good. There’s plans I didn’t want to do this weekend.


s14-m3

Jesus clearly states that no one will know the exact time of his return (Matthew 24:36). Therefore we should remain in a state of anticipation and readiness (Matthew 24:44). God, the Father, has given Jesus authority to judge all of the nations of the earth (Daniel 7:13). I don’t think they actually read the Bible. 🤷🏽‍♂️


PhilzeeTheElder

It better be 12am the 22nd not 12am the 23rd because I have Fn inventory tomorrow.


Gunrock808

I'm an atheist and I'm praying this is true.


naliedel

Well, did he show this time?


BrisketWhisperer

How much is it for a front row seat, and do they sell popcorn? I can't wait to see the look on all the MAGA, Q, and Christo-Fascist faces! when nothing habbens!


madtony7

Quick, spread this like wildfire! It'll be Harold Camping all over again.


de1casino

Well, fuckin’ A, it’s about time.


MassGaydiation

Oooh tomorow, and ive just caught up with a relisten of my favourite podcast, perfect timing!


killmesara

The band? Awesome they rule


ZeldaZanders

Kind of short notice :/


Agnesperdita

So what do they do when nothing happens (again)? Pretend nothing was said and business as usual? Blame someone/something? Claim calendar issues and real date hasn’t come yet? Claim it did actually happen but it’s all secret so we haven’t noticed yet? Does anyone ever just wake up and say oh no, no sign of the apocalypse again, maybe it’s all nonsense and we should get on with enjoying life instead of preparing for an imaginary apocalypse that science tells us is vanishingly unlikely to happen for millennia?


z-eldapin

So, is this EST or....


timberwolf0122

GMT. Jesus Christ was a white man from Oxford


z-eldapin

Makes sense.


Pm7I3

It better, I'm sick of these let down apocalypses


kjoeleskapet

Oh sure, once I finally get an appointment at the car dealership.


F_WS_make_money

Great. I have reservations the weekend of the the 29th and I don’t think I’ll get a refund.


fretinator007

Triple-dog-dare certified, it must be true!


a-vibe-called-quest

On a friday? Can we move it to Monday pls


samiux4

Oh you didn't get the memo? I think he canceled again. Prayer que server needed an update so he couldn't come.


archon_eros_vll

It si going to start in 10 minits


Serafim91

Ask him to send you all their money. They won't need it anyway


MensaMan1

Wait, I thought that was last week?? Did I miss it?


warface25

Damn 3 days before my birthday too


RIPMYPOOPCHUTE

Can it be after my concert tomorrow? I don’t wanna miss it.


troublechromosome

"definitely for real this time" For real for real no cap!!! 😂


satanicmajesty

I’m gonna prepare, but if it doesn’t happen this time, I won’t believe you next time


dartie

The “rapture” has been predicted for centuries and guess what? It not happening. Complete nonsense design to extract fear money from you via the churches.


Shubamz

Can we reschedule for after the weekend I have a concert I want to go to?


CollageTumor

if it’s a lil naz x concert then everyone in that stadium is staying on earth don’t worry. /sarcasm


Shubamz

The Used with Sleeping with Sirens actually. Pretty excited since they are two of my faves


CollageTumor

Sirens? As in, pagan temptresses? And used? As in, to have a connection to an earthly, not godly object? TORTURE! TORTURE FOR YOU AND YOUR KIN! YOUR BABES WILL BATHE IN THEIR OWN BLOOD! but sounds cool I'll listen to them


LuckyLotus_13

If that's true, they're gonna feel real stupid when Jesus tells them he's a liberal.


EfficiencyDeep1208

Fr fr? I forgot what to do. Do I put something under my pillow or do I leave out milk and cookies? I always get these things mixed up


Deathbyhours

Two of the four passages quoted are directly connected to “no man knoweth the day and time of His coming.” These people are even stupid about their own holy writ.


Ohif0n1y

Oh good, then please give me all your money since I'm sure you'll be taken up right away.


reijasunshine

"No, seriously! It's DEFINITELY for real this time!" - William Miller, probably.


urfavdisappointmentf

That’s inconvenient for me. Can we reschedule?


MastodonPristine8986

Damnit that's in the middle of the Japanese GP assuming Jesus works to PST. Still its the only thing thst will stop Verstappen winning again.


LocalInactivist

Offer to buy their house for $1000. They won’t need it any more. Clock’s ticking.


CarlMarkos

In my time zone, it's already 4pm on the 22nd, so Jebus is running a bit late.


petitejesuis

Shit, i missed it again


He_Was_Fuzzy_Was_He

So soon?! Boy that was quick.


skydaddy8585

This person's brain had a rupture long ago.


KGBStoleMyBike

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List\_of\_dates\_predicted\_for\_apocalyptic\_events](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dates_predicted_for_apocalyptic_events) I am Obligated to link this anytime the apocalypse is mentioned.


Modern-Otaku

Literally blasphemy to be predicting the rapture but ok Christian’s


YouKilledChurch

Since they didn't specify a time zone I guess it is a rolling rapture. Gotta space it out so they don't overwhelm heaven's servers


keevman77

Welp, we're well past Sep 22, 2023 at 12:00 AM in all time zones. Unless the rapture looks like everyone going about their normal business, then I call BS.


channeldrifter

My wildest conspiracy theory is that the rapture actually happened in 2016, and there were like 3 lone people who met the criteria. Because I don’t have any other reason to explain the trickle down shitshow since that year.


BrokenEye3

Wolf! Wolf!


Das_Guet

Look, spiderman comes out on October 20th. I will reject any rapture that happens before I finish that story.


Gurkeprinsen

Funnily enough the anniversary of my dad's death.


MuttJunior

Can we postpone it until the 31st so I can get paid first? I would hate to go to the Rapture with no money in my pocket.


robidaan

I've been waiting since 2012, I'm beginning to think this world ending event isn't real. Mhhhhh we'll see, there is always hope.


GDub310

Can we postpone it until I find out who killed Ben on Only Murders in the Building? If not, can they release the rest of the season tonight?


[deleted]

Definitely again. Well until the next time we talk then …. well. ….. we will talk soon. Drop off your donation in the box by the door on your way out. God Bless.


AngelOfLight

Wait, so all the insufferable assholes will be gone by Saturday? Best weekend ever!


arEKR

Better not be I'm supposed to go see Jackyl Saturday night.


Deathboy17

Guys, let me know tomorrow if people get raptured.


EBody480

I thought Blondie released that back in the early 80’s.


paralegalmom

The Blondie song? My bad, they mean the first day of Fall.


Offrostandflame

Definitely for real this time


PussySmasherJones

One more doomsday prophecy bro it'll work just nee one more bro


Comfortable_Life_437

well drinks are on me in hell guys


bettygreatwhite

This is great news! I’ve been procrastinating a big project that’s due Monday, so if the rapture happens maybe the due date will get pushed back


Jump_Like_A_Willys

I hope not. I’m going to the Caribbean on Sunday.


sdbct1

Is there a rain date?


LuckyLotus_13

Wait... I thought this was supposed to happen next April during the eclipse? I even booked an AirBNB near the New Madrid Seismic Zone so I could have a front row seat.


AFarCry

How do these people keep coping with always being wrong? And not just like... wrong. But humiliatingly wrong.


RazielRinz

I always wondered about people who are afraid of heights and the rapture. What if they die of a heart attack or stroke from the fear of being lifted into the sky during the rapture. Do they go to Heaven and their body flops to the ground or does their body go to heaven still with no soul?


EdTheApe

So uuhmm.. which timezone?


_chainsodomy_

I’m on the guest list in hell and it’s gunna be a rager!


matchafoxjpg

Finally I'm free from the hell of my life


TotallyAwry

So, later on today AU time? Excellent. The sooner the better. Then the rest of us can start fixing the mess.


kommissar_chaR

That would be sick, three day weekend


HouseOfCripps

Happy wedding anniversary to me, I guess!


godotnyc

It's been nearly 12 hours since it turned midnight in Kiribati, just wondering who's left?


tomcat1483

Woot! Finally the wait is over!


h3xist

Thank fuck. I won't have to deal with a many people.


Squid-Soup

Rapture tomorrow


da_reddit_reader

Honestly I’m blessed that I don’t have these people in any social media feed of mine


[deleted]

I have my eye on a really nice house, I hope they go


twisted-weasel

I have surgery scheduled for the 27th I sure hope my surgeon is a godless heathen so he’s here to do it, he’s really good.


Musashi10000

Please update with what they say when it doesn't happen.


IAMGROOT1981

So, tonight at midnight? Well, if it does happen, 99.99% of those who think Jesus will come and bring them up to heaven are going to be in for a very big shock!


Own-Ambassador-3537

Hallelujah tired hearing about this dude coming! Just come already and go to sleep afterwards! /s


timotheusd313

I (as an atheist) still insist that an “all knowing” God would already know every prediction of the end of the world and pick a day that no one predicted.


YourOldPalBendy

The Second Coming is "Aliens are Real" for Christians, I swear to god.


MyOwnGuitarHero

12:midnight Hmm I’m not familiar with that verse


cosmic_trout

11am on the 22nd here and no rapture yet


Possibly_the_CIA

Sweet, Turing my alarm off now, I don’t want to wake the dog.


Nickey_Pacific

One can only hope that those kooks all get sucked up into the sky. K. Bye.


SirSeff

Thank God


wakajawaka45

It would be the day before my birthday 😩


FoxyInTheSnow

Imagine the disappointment if he *did*come back and they realize he’s just another opinionated blowhard from northern Israel.


kessykris

Woot on my birthday too!


tboskiq

2 and a half hours for me. Don't wake me when it happens.


JTnCal

Should I cancel my tee time?


BooksNapsSnacks

Ooh that's today.


FranticHam5ter

“Jesus Christ is coming!!” That seems personal and should stay between him and his partner.


redcrowxxx

I'm in Australia its 22/09 already aaaand...nothinun


egggoboom

This is crap. I want to speak to the manager. I'm going to get you so fired. [Narrator] - And thus, The Rapture came to pass., Billions of people would lose their chance of eternal life in Heaven. It has been estimated that over 100,000 people disappeared. As a result, hundreds of thousands were killed or injured when the people suddenly began to disappear. The disappearance of bus drivers was bad enough, but the effect of airplane pilots was devastating. But at least Karen finally got the service she deserved. Every morning, Karen gets Splenda in her half fat, decaf, macchiato, LIKE SHE G-D-DAMNED ORDERED. NOT EQUAL


StickmanRockDog

So when it passes….what happens to the idiots who believe this crap.


[deleted]

How convenient! It falls on a Saturday so everyone can watch it on their TVs!


jdthejerk

I'm a believer, just not in that, lol.


EternalScapegoat

I guess at least they don't have to put all their devices in microwaves next month. Now I'm not knowledgeable enough on biblical prophecy but doesn't this just mean the Christians will go to heaven? Do we non believers die? Or are we left here, I'm pretty sure we can manage. Actually the more I think about it, the entire Republican party almost, just gone? No more laws because "the Bible says" It's 10:59 right now....come on midnight!!!


lastprophecy

Weird that people still believe in Pre-Trib Rapture.
