Letters after the rapture
What this service is
You write a letter now. We hold it, sealed and encrypted. If the rapture comes, it is delivered to the people you named. That is the entire product.
Why most people need this
Believers prepare spiritually for the return of Christ. Almost none prepare practically — for the people who will be standing where they were, with no explanation and no goodbye.
Scripture is clear that no one knows the day or the hour. It will not wait for you to finish the sentence. Whatever you have been meaning to say to the people you love — the apology, the blessing, the explanation of where you have gone and why — there will be no time for it. A post-rapture letter is how you say it now, while you still can choose the words, to people who will need them more than you can imagine.
How it works
You write your letter and name the people it should reach — by email address, by postal address, or both. The letter is encrypted with a key unique to it before it is stored. You pay once; there is no subscription.
Your letter stays sealed until delivery is triggered. You can edit it, change the recipients, or delete it at any time. When it is delivered, your recipients receive your words, unedited, with a short note explaining who it is from and why it has arrived. We send once. We do not add them to anything.
The full mechanism, including every way it can fail, is described on the how it works page. We encourage you to read it.
How delivery is triggered
Nothing in the world announces the rapture in a way software can detect. There is no feed, no signal, no API. Anyone who tells you their system detects it automatically is describing something that does not exist.
So we do the only honest thing available: a person decides. An administrator — someone who, by the premise of this service, would be among those left behind — looks at the world and declares that the day has come. That declaration takes two separate actions a day apart. The first records who is deciding and why. The second, a full day later, delivers everything at once and cannot be undone. During that day, any administrator can call it off.
This is a human judgement, not a detection. We think a person deciding openly is more honest than a machine inferring it from silence, but it is not a guarantee, and we will not describe it as one.
Honest about limitations
We can read your letter. The encryption protects it from anyone who steals our database, but we hold a key that works without you — because that is the entire point. Any service in this category that claims your letter is unreadable to them is either confused or lying.
If the person responsible for triggering delivery never does so, your letter waits indefinitely. That is the design — it holds until the moment comes, however long that takes.
You are paying once for a service built to run for decades. We take that seriously. What it costs is straightforward, and there is no subscription.
Who people write to
Most people write to their family — a letter to their children, to a spouse, to someone who does not share their faith. Some write to a friend, a sibling, someone they wronged. Most people find, once they start, that they have more to say and more people to say it to than they expected.
The regret is almost always what was not said. A post-rapture letter is how you make sure that, if the moment comes, the people you love do not have to guess what you would have told them. They will know, because you wrote it down.
