War is heaven

How can so many who claim to follow the Prince of Peace, the Man who said, "blessed are the peacemakers," be cheerleaders for Armageddon?

MiamiHerald.com | 08/08/2006 | For some evangelicals, Mideast war stirs hope

The Rapture Index -- a popular evangelical Christian Web posting that calculates a global rise in natural disasters, war and inflation -- bills itself as ``a Dow Jones industrial average of end-time activity.''

An index below 85 signifies a week of ''slow prophetic activity.'' Anything above 145 signals the apocalypse is near.

The Rapture Index this week: 158. The spike reflects many U.S. evangelicals' view that growing conflict in the Middle East signals the start of a global struggle leading to Christ's return.
