Daytime TV Host Speaks and Jokes of Rapture

As we watch the headlines, read our Bibles and focus on eternal things it’s natural to think about our wedding day…the day that the bridegroom comes for the bride.  Of course we are referring to the day when the Father sends the Son to collect His Bride, the church.  The Church He will come for made up of all people, dead or alive, who had or have the Holy Spirit and this goes back 2000 years to the Jewish Feast of Pentecost.  

The past few months there was a lot of chatter on social media that Jesus was coming in 2025 during the feast of trumpets which just happened on the 23rd and 24th.  Instead of people saying, “we should be more expectant during those feast days”, they made the mistake of saying “the rapture will happen on September 23 cuz Jesus told me it would.”  Now today, the 25th, the jokes and scoffers are already coming with, “so where is this promised return?  Since the beginning folks have been saying he’s coming back and he never does!”  This is from 2 Peter where he talks about increased scoffing as the actual event nears.

And then read about the daytime talk show comedian, Sherri Shepherd, mentions the rapture and why she didn’t pay attention to the hype this time.

****************************

Sherri Shepherd didn't believe that the Rapture was coming on Tuesday — because she'd already fallen for a previous Rapture prophecy that didn't come true.

The comedian discussed her past religious misunderstanding leading to serious consequences during Wednesday's episode of her talk show Sherri.

"I have been through this before. I used to be in a religion that told me that the rapture was coming," Shepherd recalled. "They told us to get our house in order. And I said, 'Why? I'm not going to need a house where I am going. I don't need those worldly possessions.'"

Shepherd's disregard for earthly matters extended to a few punishable offenses. "I didn't pay my bills. I didn't pay my taxes. I did not pay my traffic tickets because why would I pay anything when the world's about to end?" she asked. "My registration had been expired for two years. I had seriously $10,000 worth of unpaid moving violations."

The Less Than Perfect star didn't even appear in court when she received traffic infractions. "Why would I show up to court when the world is about to end and I'm about to get taken up to heaven?" she asked. "Jesus don't care about no parking tickets!"

Shepherd's Rapture-induced procrastination didn't work out. "The world never ended. I went to jail," she said. "And you can tell I was not expecting to go to jail 'cause when the police pulled me over, I was wearing this."

 The show then cut to a photo of Shepherd wearing a psychedelic multicolored shirt and massive high heels that matched. "I was on my way to perform at the Comedy Store in Hollywood and I didn't know, so they picked me up," she said. "I went to jail for eight days and because I fell for the Rapture, I became a hardened criminal." 

Shepherd's comments came following Joshua Mhlakela's viral claim that Jesus told him in a dream that the Rapture would occur on Tuesday, Sept. 23. 

"Everybody on TikTok started spreading the word that the rapture was coming yesterday," Shepherd explained. "I believe in the rapture. I believe it was coming. But this one, I didn't fall for the okeydoke. Because I have been through this before."
