Rapture Ready

Rapture Ready is an Evangelical Christian website, originally a Usenet forum, founded by Todd Strandberg[1] in 1987, that promotes the belief that the rapture will occur in the near future, with true Christians being taken up to Heaven.

[2] The site tracks the real-world occurrence of events that Strandberg believes are prophesied in the Bible,[3] and uses these to calculate what Strandberg sees as the approach of the rapture.

[4] Originally, Rapture Ready (then called "Rapture Index") consisted of threads in Usenet newsgroups such as alt.bible.prophecy and alt.christnet.second-coming.real-soon-now.

[5] The "Rapture Index" keeps track of activities which Strandberg believes could be indicators of a time when the Rapture might occur.

[6][7] The index includes Strandberg's numerical measurement of world events[8][9] and trends in light of conservative Christian views on Bible prophecy regarding the end times.
