Religious Rapture Apocalypse Stories

A religious rapture apocalypse frames the end of the world through prophecy, divine judgement, revelation, angels, demons, gods, messiahs, cults, miracles, or supernatural punishment. These stories may draw from specific end-times traditions or invent their own theology, but they usually ask what happens when belief becomes physically real and human history is forced to answer to a cosmic moral order.

Read original religious rapture apocalypse short stories on this page from world-class authors, selected from the Ash Tales archive.
