10 correct: You’re very Rapture Savvy—in fact, we predict you’ll be Raptured up when the time comes.  Be sure to leave your personal belongings to your personal loved ones.  And leave them several copies of this book.  They’ll need it.

7-9 correct: You’re way ahead of the game.  Just keep this book by your bedside and skim through it periodically.  You’ll be on your way to being the Warren Buffet of the Trumpet Judgments unless Warren Buffet is still around.

3-6 correct: You have what our mothers would call “cocktail party knowledge” of the Rapture and the Tribulation.  You can get through a dinner party with it, but when the Seals start opening and the Horsemen start riding, you’ll be toast.  Buy this book, commit it to memory, and then get back to us.

0-2 correct:  Apparently you’ve never even heard of the End Times.  You have two options: either read this book over and over until the Rapture happens, or forget the whole thing, accept Jesus as your personal savior, and hope for the best.
