A new Web site is offering a miraculous service — e-mails sent to loved ones left behind on Earth after you've been swept up to heaven in the Rapture.
YouveBeenLeftBehind.com promises to alert up to 62 people exactly six days after the event that, according to the Bible, signals the beginning of Armageddon, Wired magazine's Threat Level reports.
"You've Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ," the site promoting the service says.
Final e-mails from vanished subscribers will be triggered when three of the site's five Christian staffers fail to log in for six days in a row.

The site, the brainchild of Mark Heard, charges $40 a year for the service, which also includes 150 megabytes of encrypted storage space, recommended for financial information, Threat Level reports.
"In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables and powers of attorneys," the site says.
"There won't be any bodies, so probate court will take seven years to clear your assets to your next of kin. Seven years, of course, is all the time that will be left," it explains. "So, basically the Government of the Antichrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."
According to Christian theology, after the Rapture, Satan will rule a global government that will torment doubters with seven years of Tribulation.
Heard told Threat Level that he already has paying subscribers.

I saw a car a few years ago with a bumper sticker that said “Warning, in case of Rapture, this car will be unmanned.” Two things hit me: First, a woman was driving the car. Second, would God really leave a car careening driverless down the road just to effect a far-fetched interpretation of scripture?
I saw a bumper sticker that read:
“In Case of Rapture, Can I Have Your Car?”
Mine would be short and practical.
Feed the cat.
That’s pretty much what happened in the Left Behind novels. People raptured right from their day to day lives and whatever they were doing (IE driving a car) continued on without them...much chaos insues.
Dead and dying and suffering people are everywhere
Disease, nuclear weapons and other evil is rampant
Most signs of civilization have been rendered useless
You were left behind to face Satan and unbelievable suffering, so...
“Honey, did you check the e-mail?”
So long and thanks for all the fish
I like yours better!
Out of curiosity what would happen if these five didn’t get raptured and kept coming to work?
,,,,,,I love this song,,,,,,,,,,
Was she driving a convertible? If not, then she didn't get the memo.
What an excellent scam...
