A Prophetic Speedometer:

If you are concerned about the eminent arrival of "The Rapture" (not to be confused with that toe tapping early rapping Blondie song), as I know you all are, look no further. Stop watching the Dow Jones, and start monitoring the rapture index. Current index at 174.

    The Rapture Index has two functions: one is to factor together a number of related end time components into a cohesive indicator, and the other is to standardize those components to eliminate the wide variance that currently exists with prophecy reporting.

    The Rapture Index is by no means meant to predict the rapture, however, the index is designed to measure the type of activity that could act as a precursor to the rapture.

    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.

And, just so your heathen, sinning family and friends know what happened to you after "The Rapture", send them an email from beyond, a Rapture Letter if you will.

    After the rapture, there will be a lot of speculation as to why millions of people have just disappeared. Unfortunately, after the rapture, only non believers will be left to come up with answers. You probably have family and friends that you have witnessed to and they just won't listen. After the rapture they probably will, but who will tell them?

    We have written a computer program to do just that. It will send an Electronic Message (e-mail) to whomever you want after the rapture has taken place, and you and I have been taken to heaven.
