ESCHATOLOGICAL EXEGESIS

Apocalypse soon: The signs are all there

The Rapture Index stands at 153 today, up only one point since 2005 began, and it makes you wonder whether the folks at raptureready.com who compile it. Many experts regard the index as the Dow Jones Industrial Average of "end time activity" have got their heads screwed on right. Or maybe they haven't been keeping careful track because they're too busy with other things, such as packing. If the end is coming anytime soon, you don't want to have forgotten your toothbrush when you join the righteous dead in heaven.
According to raptureready.com, a Rapture Index reading over 145 means "Fasten your seat belts," so when it hits the mid-150s it has to be telling us to close our tray-tables and make sure our seat-backs are in the full upright position.
