Well, over the last couple of weeks we've looked at rapture predictions and pranks, homilies and houses. So a few final words... which are to say that something's gonna happen, but we can't know what, and we can't know when. For example, a friend told me recently about a theory that it...

A while back, at the beginning of this micro-series on the rapture, we looked at the Rapture Index .
