The "end-times" have been predicted many times before....

Here's an interesting site that documents some of the failed prophesies.

My question revolves around the current "end-time" craze currently sweeping through the fundamentalist Christiam community. This "end-time" trend seems to be more dangerous than those of the past simply because those who buy deeply into it have acquired access to some of the highest seats of power here in the US, and are now actively seeking to spread that control to seats of power in other countries.
These "end-timers" seem to be doing everything in their power to actually bring about Armageddon.

My question is this: at what point does the belief in Armageddon begin to lose ground? How long before people within the movement begin to question the authenticity of the prophesy and popular support for the movement begins to atrophy? How long before all of this "peaks" and we can once again begin to plan for the future of this planet?
