A Prophetic Speedometer of End-Time Activity

Spectacular - a Christian group has created a Rapture Index. The Rapture, for those of you who haven't yet read all 12 of the Left Behind series, is the instant in which Christ's True Believers are whisked up to heaven while the rest of us hang round on Earth wondering where they went. Shortly after this, the anti-Christ arrives, followed by the Messiah, Armageddon and the rest is history so to speak. The Rapture index is described as:

...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.

The index is currently reading 152, down from an all time high of 182 on September 24, 2001. But don't despair - anything above 145 shows we're getting warm indeed. Just a couple more false prophets, a little extra global turmoil and a fall in moral standards and we should be there... (thanks to Florida Blues for the link)
