Is the 'biblical rapture' happening right now? The signs are already here

A website dubbed "The Rapture Index" that claims to monitor the "end of times" -- or the second coming of Jesus -- is warning the general public to "fasten your seat belts" in the era of the Trump administration.

"You could say the Rapture index is a Dow Jones Industrial Average of end time activity, but I think it would be better if you viewed it as prophetic speedometer," Todd Stranberg, the website's creator, told the Daily Mail.

Stranberg launched the site in 1987 to monitor catastrophic world events spanning typical categories like satanism, terrorism and dramatic weather.

The online index highlights the 45 signs of the rapture listed in the bible, such as "earth quakes" or "plagues," and scores them according to activity in the world. The numbers are then added together to sum up the The Rapture Index total.

Stranberg says the Index total increased to 164 during the Gulf War, but also saw its lowest on December 12 the same year at 58. Prior to the 2016 U.S. Presidential election October, however, it peaked at its highest score of 189 since its creation -- and there hasn't been indication that it will be dropping anytime soon, according to Stranberg.

"It seems like we are heading into the eye of a hurricane and I am fascinated with what's going on with Donald Trump – both sides are whirling faster and faster," Stranberg said.

He says the higher the number, the faster the human civilization is moving towards "the occurrence of pre-tribulation rapture."

However, Stranberg tells people his index is by no means "meant to predict the rapture." It is, however, designed to measure events that he deems could serve as a precursor to the rapture.

But he cautions when the index reaches about 225, the apocalypse is believed to be upon us.
