The Walking Dead: 10 Amazing Lesser-Known Fan Theories

3. The Rapture

The end is nigh... Some fans are going down the route that The Walking Dead is entirely based on the biblical end of the world. The Rapture. Demonic possession has been whispered around forums, and the theme of religion is always simmering on the show, but is the whole thing based on the cataclysmic event? Father Gabriel is a key part of this theory, with fans suggesting that his complete meltdown is related to the possibility that he's been 'left behind' as opposed to being raptured. He simply can't come to terms with that eventuality. The whole idea of TWD being connected to the Rapture also carries weight in the fact that biblical prophecy states that there will be a time of suffering after the event, but before the world comes to a definitive end.
