Sherri Shepherd didn’t believe that the Rapture was coming on Tuesday because of her experience with a previous Rapture prophecy.
During Wednesday’s episode of her talk show, Sherri, Shepherd shared what went wrong with the last Rapture event.
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.’”
“I didn’t pay my bills and 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.”
Because of her belief, Shepherd didn’t appear in court when she received traffic notices.
“Why would I show up to court when the world is about to end and I’m about to get taken up to heaven?” Shepherd asked. “Jesus don’t care about no parking tickets!”
Instead of being raptured, Shephered was escorted to jail because of tickets.
“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.”
“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 stem from Joshua Mhlakela’s viral video. He said that Jesus told him in a dream that the Rapture would happen 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.”
