""I am sorry to anyone who believed the Rapture was going to happen on the 23rd""
""My intention was not to deceive anyone. I truly believed with all my heart that today was going to be today.""
""I never said 100 percent that it would be September 23rd,""
""Please tell me I can't be the only person who was filled with fear, worry and anxiety,""
Many Christian TikTok users predicted the Rapture for September 23–24 after a preacher promoted those dates. Some believers abandoned jobs and cars expecting to be taken. When the Rapture did not occur, influencers issued apologies, hedged predictions, defended uncertainty, or stopped posting. The failed prediction caused fear, worry and anxiety among followers and prompted ridicule from critics. The episode highlights how social media can rapidly amplify end-times prophecies and produce real emotional and practical consequences for both creators and their audiences.
