![]() ![]() Perhaps the most vivid apocalypse in The Simpsons comes during Season 27, Episode 2, "Cue Detective." Largely focusing on a smoker Homer briefly owns, its unique design and qualities stem from the fact it is a fallen meteorite that's converted into a grill. Meanwhile, in Season 16, Episode 21, "The Father, the Son and the Holy Guest Star," an entire religious war is fought a thousand years in the future between two sects who see Bart Simpson as "God's Last Prophet." Smithers - still alive thanks to cybernetic advancements - rediscover an abandoned Bobo in the dirt. They utilize a slave race that all resemble Homer Simpson in a ravaged landscape, while Mr. Burns reunited with his irreplaceable teddy bear from childhood, Bobo, before cutting to the year 1,000,000 AD, when apes have conquered the world ala Planet of the Apes. Season 5, Episode 4, "Rosebud," ends with Mr. Other, more sci-fi-tinged endings have also been suggested for The Simpsons. He restores everything to how it was before the Rapture, with seemingly only Homer aware of the change. However, when he witnesses his family wading in pools of lava and being tortured by the Devil, Homer convinces God to postpone the end of the world. This means Homer - and Homer alone - is brought to heaven when the Rapture begins. While Homer continues to believe his prediction, everyone else abandons him. After finalizing a prediction of the timeline for the Rapture, Homer briefly convinces his family and the town of his beliefs, which are proved somewhat false. Later, Season 16, Episode 19, "Thank God, It's Doomsday," introduces the Rapture again to Springfield. While they watch the Flanders ascend to heaven while Homer keeps Lisa from making the same journey, the family is then invited to walk down a suddenly appearing flight of stairs into hell. In Season 10, Episode 18, "Simpsons Bible Stories," the family leaves church to discover the world crumbling around them and the Horsemen of the Apocalypse bringing chaos to the world. God appeared in various episodes of The Simpsons over the years, with Homer even seeming to have conversations with God in his dreams during Season 4, Episode 3, "Homer the Heretic." As The Simpsons progressed, the Rapture has been referenced multiple times. ![]()
