    They did that in the 90’s too. I remember the left behind series getting really popular because of it.

      I heard a podcast making fun of those stupid movies. Were they actually popular? I’m too young to know.

        I graduated in the early 90s and can say from my memory that while most people didn’t pay attention to them, there was a massive amount of “End of the World” cults like Heavens Gate all the way to even mainstream Christianity saying the end was neigh. There was as much “eye rolling” then as there is today on the subject.

        The Pentecostals in the Deep South forced millions of kids to watch that garbage.

        Yes, the books at least were hugely popular and basically inescapable if you were around Christians in the US during the 1990’s.
