The best-selling contemporary books in the US are the 12 volumes of the Left Behind series, which provide what is usually described as a "fictionalised" account of the Rapture (this, apparently, distinguishes it from the other one),
I quite liked that Berlusconi and wall-mart were held up as antichrists, too. I could support that notion.
