It shouldn’t surprise anyone that there is a website called Rapture Ready that has a vast menu of things to read on endtimes prophecy, current events, and more articles on how Russia is Magog than you can shake a stick at.  But on the Rapture Ready mainpage is a link to the Rapture Index, and this thing is a hoot.

Apparently each event that happens in the world today either raises or lowers the Rapture Index total based on the level of prophecy fulfillment activity going on.  Floods, earthquakes and false prophets all have the effect of raising the index.  It recently gained one point.  Here is a segment of how the index works, found at the bottom of the Rapture Index page:

You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer. The higher the number, the faster we’re moving towards the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture.

If this were an article in The Whitenburg Door (think Christianity’s Mad Magazine) it would be hilarious.  But it’s not a parody; it’s real.  Which makes it funnier.  My favorite quote from the index: “Record cold temps put the freeze on global warming hype.”  Proving once again that the truth is stranger than fiction.

Special thanks to Tall Skinny Kiwi; I saw it there first.
