Actually, as far as I’m aware the christians who obsess about the last days tend to be the fundamentalists and smaller extreme sects such as say JW’s ,Seventh Day Adventists and Pentacostals. They all seem to be preoccupied with The Book Of Revelations for their prophecies. It is these folks who are in the minority of christians. It just seems like more because they make so much more noise, especially the obnoxious happy clappers.

History:
Jesus himself is reported as saying : Matthew 16:28 “Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.” (KJV)
Jesus is reported as saying he will return ‘soon’ several time in the Gospels.
Then, of course he didn’t turn up. The early church changed Jesus’ expected return to some vague indeterminate time in the future. The matter was then quietly dropped, only to ever be mentioned in passing among Catholics and mainstream protestants.
The majority of Christians have the brains to realise that the [one of dozens] of sects which became christianity began as a millenarian movement. When the new millennium did not arrive,early christianity became and remains a failed milennarian movement. Just like the JW’s and others who keep coming up with new prophecies, all of which have failed.
