A new TikTok subculture dubbed 'RaptureTok' has caught attention online, with creators posting dreams, warnings and interpretations of Bible verses predicting the Rapture on September 23. Though the videos come from a relatively small niche of Christian creators, the trend has gone viral on TikTok's 'For You' page, spilling over to X and Instagram where curious users are amplifying the content.
Rather than mass panic, the internet response has leaned on being humorous and skeptical. Some users are posting jokes about 'heaven fits' and leaving staged piles of clothes on the ground to imitate being raptured. Others are making memes about whether pets will be included, with one viral TikTok captioned: 'If my dog isn't coming, I'm not going'. On X, one user wrote: 'Apparently the Rapture is scheduled for this weekend — hope it doesn't interfere with brunch'.
