On July 24, CNN featured Rapture Ready in a report on how some evangelicals believe that the Hezbollah-Israeli conflict "is a sign that the Bible's final chapter, the Book of Revelation is unfolding before our eyes."

"Take a look at the Rapture Index on the World Wide Web," Zahn reported. "It assigns numerical values to wars, earthquakes and disasters."

"And tonight, it's at 156, which is in the 'fasten your seat belt' category," Zahn continued. "So are we really at the end of the world?"
