Rapture Index 157 Net Change +1--Updated Jul 30, 2006

http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html

2003 High 177 2004 High 157 2005 High 161 2006 High 159
2003 Low 133 2004 Low 135 2005 Low 143 2006 Low 151

Record High 182 Record Low 57
24 Sept 01 12 Dec 93

Some explanations worth noting.

COMMENTS ON ACTIVE CATEGORIES
03 Satanism:
Satanism is reported to be flourishing in Russia
26 Nuclear Nations
The latest report on Iran has it still falling short of having
enough enriched uranium for a single nuclear bomb.
27 Global Turmoil:
The Arab/Israeli conflict has upgraded this category.
29 Liberalism
The political scene in the U.S. favors liberal candidates.
32 Mark of the Beast:
The U.S. Patriot Act has failed to get enough votes for extension.
35 Date Settings
The occurrence of the 06/06/06 date has increased interest in
numerical date speculation. (gee I wonder when that will happen again?)

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

2. They're not really fasting...
They just can't afford to buy food.

5. Seems like a waste of time, getting ready for the rapture.
Personally, I would like to get in 18 holes of golf, spend some time at the lake and get my next paycheck. I'm hoping that when the rapture comes, I have my credit cards paid off. I'm worried that MNBA has a vote in whether I'm raptured.

7. Just wait until it hits 5,000
"Any day now!" they'll say.

Then they'll push the date ahead, and start all over again...
