Uh-oh... Rapture Index Nears an All-Time High

[LuckyTheDog]

If you think we might be a seeing a sharp rise in end-time activity, you would be correct. I’ve never seen a time when so many headlines are being ripped right from Bible prophecy. Over the past two months, Rapture Ready has had a 40-percent rise in its traffic load. A large portion of the hits come from thousands of people looking to see what Bible prophecy has to say about ongoing current events. Many of the key search subjects are related to earthquakes, the weather, the Middle East, and the economy.

The upsurge has had an impact on the Rapture Index. It has been climbing for several years and is now within a few points of its all-time high. The Index has not been this high since January 2003.

The Rapture Index is a type of "Dow Jones Industrial Average" for measuring end-time activity. Since Jesus said we will not know the day of the Rapture, I figured the best way to know where we on God’s prophetic clock is to track the events predicted to occur at the time of our Lord’s return.

Somebody there should Google William Miller and the "Great Disappointment."

1. I hope those silly assholes do get raptured.

That way they'll be out of our hair and we can fix a few things around here.

2. K&R- These assholes already are a great disappointment-and they certainly

have never heard of the Millerites or other Millineallists from previous centuries...
I guess after the last few months they have their bags packed and they are pelased as all hell with themselves, while sneering at the rest of us...Real christians...
I wish they would all just leave now and make the world a better place.

17. I'm going to join a fundy church and help folks

Plan for the rapture and what comes after... I hope I can pick some property up cheap by locking in options to buy now.

[66 dmhlt]

28. My fingers are crossed ...

[bluestateguy]

4. Maybe there will be a rapture

and all of these hateful, racist and homophobic fundamentalists will find that they didn't make the cut to get called up.

[Sonicwall]

5. Would it be funny if God said, 'Fuck it'

and raptured them to Somalia for shits and giggles?

[Lyric]

6. If the "Rapture" ever actually happens, these people will deny it louder than anyone in the world.

Because there's no way in hell that THEY'LL be going anywhere.

[Rex]

7. How sad that people are so small that they have to live for a life

to come and never live this one. :(

Humans...meh.

[Pacifist Patriot]

20. It is sad.

[Fuzz]

8. Whatever would we do with all the McMansions and golf courses?

[MedicalAdmin]

18. Co-op housing and organic farms / parks.

That's my vote. My dad always said that a golf course was a waste of good pasture land.

[babsbunny]

9. Yay!

Then these ignorant ass fools will be gone! Yay!

[MineralMan]

10. The Rupture Is Coming! The Rupture Is Coming!

Hide Under Your Beds! Jesus Is Pissed! We're All Doomed! ('cept me, of course.)

[Swede]

11. Can I have some of their stuff?

You know,when I get left behind.

[Motown_Johnny]

12. those "We Can Know" nut jobs said Jesus returns May 21st 2011

I requested a free bumper sticker, business card and date book. These might be good for a laugh the next time someone predicts a date.

[bluestateguy]

15. I'm sure Jesus really appreciates being told when he is supposed to come

nt

[Rex]

16. I love how they say, 'no one can know the time or place', YET

here they sit in their golden throne and tell us exactly when Jesus will return! What a bunch of loony toonish freaks! I hope their God recalls them ASAP! THEN we can get on with progressive legislation in peace!!!!

HEY FREAKS! RUPTURE ALREADY!!! I NEED A SUMMER HOME STAT!!!

[quaker bill]

21. I scanned it

but haven't the stomach to wade deeply enough to get the critical information, May 21 sure, but before or after lunch? I certainly want to keep my calendar clear, just in case.

[LiberalArkie]

13. I had a dream back in my 30's about it.

My dream started off with a lady ion a mink coat having to step over a homeless man sleeping on the church steps.

Several people in the church started complaining about all the homeless people around. They started adding in prayers for God to do something about all the homeless people, gays, prostitutes and the other "dregs of society". They wanted God to rid them of such people and to bring on the Rapture.

One day there were church services all over the world praising God and thanking Him for ridding the world of such people.

They did not realize that the previous night that the Rapture did indeed happen, and God had taken his people home.

It just wasn't them.

14. Good one Arkie.......

:rofl:

[RebelOne]

22. They are hoping for the end time.

Hate to tell them, but it is not going to happen in their lifetime.

[shireen]

24. i can't wait for it to arrive!!!

And get them out of here!

[nadinbrzezinski]

25. It is set for May 21

:-)

The quake just kind of reinforced it.

May 22... they will reset the clock...

26. There are people who truly believe this. There are also people who

truly believe in Islam and any number of other religions - and some in no religion at all.

What I have observed is that the ones who believe in such things as mentioned in the OP are ridiculed and scorned. If someone ridicules a Muslim for his or her belief, that someone is chastised for not being accepting of the beliefs of other people.

I am a non believer. I think prayer in a public/political setting is not appropriate, but it is certainly ok for someone or anyone to have any religious belief he chooses, and pray any way he chooses, when he is not in that setting. I do not try to dissuade anyone from his belief, and I do not welcome someone trying to persuade me to accept a particular belief.

Everyone should be allowed to "...cling to their religion and guns..." if that what it takes to get through the day, and they should be able to do this without ridicule.

27. Whatta bunch of self-aborbed people.

It's all about them. Instead of applying the key tenants of the Bible and doing God's work here on Earth, they'd prefer to live in their isolated fantasy world, prejudging all who don't adhere to their psuedo-piety. I cannot think of a group less deserving of a judgmental Gawd's mercy. If He/She exist, please do us all a favor and Rupture them to some place where they can communicate and practice their odd ideas about reality amongst themselves. Then we can have heaven on Earth.

30. Perhaps 'tenet' rather than 'tenant', or 'one who rents' nt

[Old and In the Way]

31. Thanks. My spell check sucks as a homonym flagger.
