I've always kind of assumed that the attachment people have to end-of-the-world scenarios comes from the certainty, in their minds at least, in an uncertain world.

...I happened to get a free accomodation in my friends' flat in Jerusalem. I did not know that I was there just in the "right time", as an American former teacher with hippy long beard told me. He left his family, job, sold all property and came to Jerusalem to await Jesus in 2000. He was living as a beggar in the park just outside of the wall, and there I met him.
I'll be watching for a homeless Syrian...
