They've been saying it pretty much since about 30 seconds after Christ died, and I'm sure they're all just a reskinning of even older apocalypse myths.

Most of the Rapture beliefs are more based on late 19th and early 20th-century fanfic.

I remember when the rapture was supposed to happen last year. I remember when 2020-2022 was to be the end. I remember when 2012 was the end times. I remember when 2000 was the apocalypse. I remember multiple other years prior to that saying the same thing. There are books in the Bible that talk about it happening soon and they were made canon centuries ago. The monopoly on wanting the end isn’t even Christians’. Just this month I saw a video advertised on youtube still pushing that Nibiru collision nonsense that pops up every year or two. None of these people know anything about the end of the world.
