#Rapture has been trending on TikTok. Some believe that the Rapture is when Christ’s followers will be taken up to Heaven, while those who do not follow him will be left behind on Earth, changing life for humans forever. It isn’t a belief held by all Christians, however. The Rapture is closely linked to evangelism, in particular its believers based in the US.

But the Rapture is also talked about across Africa. And it was a pastor from South Africa who claimed to have seen Jesus in a vision. He said the Rapture would take place on either 23rd or 24th September 2025. The BBC’s Makuochi Okafor talks us through everything we need to know about the Rapture. Plus, we hear from Hannah in the US about why she was so worried about it.
