I am out of the loop. How did today become rapture day? I am having family members being silly about this. How did this even start?

It's not. It happened in 1988.

July 5th 1998

This is the first I've ever heard about that. Let me think where was I on that date? I was an army soldier living in South Korea and we may have had a monsoon that summer where significant mudslides came down from the ouijongbu mountains then we spent a few days shoveling mud and there were rumors of previously-buried corpses that had slid down from the mountains but I never saw any. But that may have happened in April or May or june or August, I really don't remember.
