Is the end near? Is the Rapture just around the corner? About 1 billion people among us believe, yes, absolutely. And that means one thing: investment opportunities! For those not expertly versed in the Book of Revelation, Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman helpfully offer both illumination and advice: What exactly is the Rapture? And, most important, how can I make money during the 7 years of societal breakdown before Armaggedon? Taking the form of an investment guide, the book instructs those who will certainly be left behind (Jews, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus, less ardent Protestants and many more) on how to exploit the demise of the world in order to make a tidy profit. So the rivers and seas will run with blood, locusts will swarm, mountains will move all over the place and famine will strike. But for the 5 billion of us left, the post-Rapture world will be a time of even more unique investment opportunities.

The Doomsday financial experts Steve and Evie Levy are the fictional creations of Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman, whose bestsellers include Yiddish with Dick and Jane and How to Raise a Jewish Dog.
