Rapture Index Score

May 29th, 2018: RIS Inches Up Further—Eyes On The Sky!

It has been ten months since we updated the Rapture Index Score.  It's been an unbelievable ride with an incredible number of "unknowns."  For that reason, we felt it was in everyone's best interest to let things play out to see how additional pieces of the puzzle connected—and so much was revealed.  There have been an overwhelming cacophony of political, economic, societal, religious, and astronomical signs occurring since the Revelation 12 Sign in September 2017.  We've done our best to document these for you, so little else needs to be said here aside from the fact that we are nearing nine months post-Revelation 12:1–2 and if that was indeed the Church's "exit sign" the world is frighteningly close to judgment and the Church's disappearance.  It's nearer than any of us probably realize.

At this time we don't readily see anything else that needs to happen to more perfectly align prior to the rapture aside from, possibly, the passage of the Jewish Nation-State Bill.  We are closely monitoring developments related to that legislation since it has already passed a key committee vote and its first full reading in the Knesset.  It's passage would no doubt make 2018 as prophetically significant as 1948 and 1967—'48 the land, '67 the city, '18 the people.

There is one caveat to the above point: a number of potential candidates for fulfilling the subsequent sign of the dragon in Revelation 12:3–4 have been presented, but haven't seemed quite as compelling as the perfect Revelation 12:1–2 alignment on September 23rd and 24th last year.  Our judgment is based on this interpretation of the sign of the dragon, which concludes that Revelation 12:5 will precede or occur simultaneously with Revelation 12:3–4.

Recent events that have affected this week's change include:

- A spiritual sifting seems to be nearing its end with fewer and fewer people still on the fence.  The world has never been more politically and spiritually polarized than it is now and that ties into several prophecies.
- The cashless micro-chipping fad has reached critical mass in Europe.
- While eugenics/transgenderism/abortion/liberal social engineering have run into a stumbling block in the U.S. under the Trump Administration, the wave of lawlessness has continued to crash over the rest of the planet.  Ireland's pro-life 8th Amendment was voted down in a referendum and the British government has begun jailing political dissidents.
- Livestock around the world have just recently been hit by some very deadly plagues leading to their mass slaughter.  Hundreds of thousands in New Zealand, alone.  In addition, a historic trucker strike in Brazil is threatening over 1 billion farm animals in what could be a catastrophic development.
- The daily number of worldwide earthquakes over 2.0 on the Richter Scale have inched up to the point of hitting the highest number in at least four years just a few weeks ago.
- The Ring of Fire is currently experiencing a particularly active period and this is most publicly seen in the ongoing Kilauea eruption in Southeastern Hawaii.



The Rapture Index Score (RIS) is our measure of how close we believe we are to "the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ" (Titus 2:13) and the Church being gathered to Him (1 Thessalonians 4:16-17) based on a number of prophetic factors mentioned in the Bible as pertaining to the time leading up to the Tribulation.  For an expository explanation and in-depth discussion, please refer to our post "How We Measure".
