1989
In the
late 1980s, there were no websites
as we know them today. Most
people accessed the internet
through text only displays.
This site started with the
Rapture Index. The weekly
updates were posted in
newsgroups like:
alt.bible.prophecy or
alt.christnet.second-coming.real-soon-now.

1993
To keep
track of the data for the
Rapture Index, a program
called 1PC.exe was put into
service. Notice the blue screen and the terrible graphics. This was more of a program than a code,
worst of all there was no
cut and past function, so
all text had to be hand
copied. Click on the picture to view the page.

1995
This was what
the site looked like in 1995.
This is the first web format and
was hosted by Novia.net. At
the time, RR only had seven
articles. Because most
people could only access the
net at 1200 baud, there was
no room for graphics. Click on the image to see more.

Here is Rapture Ready just one year older.
The site's first graphic
header stands as one of its
ugliest. For the next decade,
the site would at least doubled in size
every year. It quickly
became one of the most popular
prophecy sites on the net. Click the image to see the full page.

This is what Rapture Ready looked like in 1999.
The name was changed to from
Rapture Index to Rapture
Ready when a visitor
pointed out that index was a
standard name for web files,
and Rapture Ready would
stand out from the crowd. Click on the picture to see a full scale of what our site looked like then.

2003
This is the
Cincinnati look for Rapture Ready.
The web designer who we
hired to create a banner of
RR used the skyline
from Cincinnati. Several
people who lived in that
city contacted us and
jokingly asked if Armageddon
was going to begin in
the
Buckeye State.

the RR stripe in the left
margin. To see the full page click on the image.
