Why did you want to do the index?
This index is just a small part of the RaptureReady site. I created it for people not familiar with prophecy. The other pages in our sites give more detail. The index gives an overview of the end times because prophecy can be very difficult to understand.
Our main goal is to be ready for the Rapture itself. We are seeing traffic of more than 250,000 people a month now. I believe that when the Rapture takes place, there is going to be a horrendous surge of people looking for what happened. The hits are going to be in the millions. Everything I have done for the past 14 years has been for nothing compared to what will happen after the Rapture.
