Social media erupted this week after a Mexican church, Iglesia del Final de los Tiempos (Church of the End Times), seemingly announced the sale of “plots of land in heaven.” The news, propelled by influencer posts on TikTok, quickly spread across major media outlets, with reports claiming the church had amassed millions through these “heavenly real estate” deals.
However, a closer look reveals this to be a satirical ploy by the church, known for its humorous takes on religious extremism and televangelism’s exploitation of faith.
Plots in Heaven: Starting at a $100 per Square Meter
Their social media posts offered “eternal mansions” starting at a mere $100 per square meter, complete with a divine green light (allegedly from God in 2017) and convenient payment options like American Express and Apple Pay. The lighthearted stunt resonated with many social media users, sparking a wave of witty comments in the post’s comment section.
One user joked, “I wish a pastor would try to sell me some plots in heaven… I’m going to send him there and tell him to FaceTime me so I can see what I’m buying!” Another chimed in, “I need to know who donated so I can let them know I’m offering discounts on Land in heaven.”
While the initial frenzy might have fooled some, a quick internet search unravels the church’s true nature. Their Facebook page, described as “just for fun,” boasts a history of poking fun at religious extremism. Past posts include bizarre pronouncements like women being forbidden from horseback riding. This incident serves as a stark reminder for all social media users to be critical of sensational online content, especially when it comes to religious claims.
The Iglesia del Final de los Tiempos’ satirical stunt, though lighthearted, has sparked a vital conversation about the importance of media literacy and critical thinking in today’s information age.
