The Reverend’s parishioners are always asking him about the rapture, now that we have so many wars and rumors of wars, as well as seemingly unnatural natural disasters. The fact is the Reverend is usually working on a gut shot straight, or praying for the last card to make a flush, so he invokes the power of the modern age and sends his worried lambs to do their own homework. “Rapture Schmapture, be sure you have all the sandwiches you need for your surprise picnic, but if you must study the Rapture Index”, says the Rev. (by the way, today’s reading is 158)–click the pic for more info.
The Purpose For This Index
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.
Rapture Index of 85 and Below: Slow prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 85 to 110: Moderate prophetic activity
Rapture Index of 110 to 145: Heavy prophetic activity
Rapture Index above 145: Fasten your seat belts
