The Rapture Index is:
158 - as of Aug 28, 2006.
I can't help but agree with Jon Stewart of The Daily Show & find that 'arbitarily terrifying'.

Wots a Rapture Index then? I dont no nuffin about that.
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.

Hmm, not sure that I'm any the wiser! I'll google Rapture index?
I went to have a look.....
apart from being absolutely ridiculous ;-)
it assumes that the rapture is totally based on & in the USA (no change there then!).
eg: The world economy has a low no because "the economies of the US & Japan show healthy growth"
and liberalism is on the rise (a bad thing I assume) because "The political scene in the U.S. favors liberal candidates"
I don't think I'll be slicing off my tattoo quite yet;-)

So.. is Heaven like Japanese hotels that won't let the Yakuza stay there? Is Heaven run & operated under franchise by a Japanese corporation? At least we know they'll have decent IT Services and plenty of electronic toys... Pity I won't be going there.... [bg].
