People have been doing this since we evolved. All throughout the ancient world religions were centered around two things the Alpha and Omega. These are two things that for most of human existence we have witnessed but not understood.
Mediterranean Lore has it that there were many creations and destruction of mankind.
To them it was just a matter of time before the gods decided to scrap things and start over. So, the notion of Apocalypse is far from original by the time of Jesus and the later religious writers. You could not build any religion without including and apocalypse, people already believe it intrinsically and religions must answer to it.

Ehh but the alleys are a little to exposed, I was thinking set up a camp in some forests canopies but that's not a city but I'm thinking I'd want a place where I could observe the happenings of the zombies so underground bunked? Or a tower? I'd choose New york or some other city, if I lived (which you probobaly wouldn't) a tactical move if one of the ferals get too close you can snipe em with a scavenged gun in some destroyed gun store

It's my understanding that when the early Christians spoke of the end times, they thought it was coming in the next hundred years or so.
Major forecasts of apocalypse also happened approaching the year 1000, and in the Middle Ages when a huge supernovae appeared in 1006 and 1052.
I'm still waiting...

Actually it was John, who was exiled to Patmos Island, several years after Jesus' death, who saw the vision which you are calling the Apocalypse. The name of the book is The Revelation of Jesus Christ. And the title is obvious meaning. This book is Jesus Christ revealing himself to his churches, to future events in heaven and on earth that will bring about a reign of justice at last over the whole earth.
The idea of the Apocalypse comes from the four horses in the book which come from heaven and create plagues on the earth in preparation for the return of Christ as High King over all the earth.

They have forcasted an Apocalypse. More than once. We all freaked in the year 2000, but in the year 1900 the fears were the same. What about the year 1666? Must have crapped their pants. No one knows when the end will happen, but we all know that it is inevitable that it will!! Live life and enjoy.

John the Baptist forecast the Apocalypse. We can't say that the rest of the people were thinking like him (especially the pagans).

Yes, they did. His followers believed that Jesus' second coming & the subsequent apocalypse would be within their lifetime. But it wasn't because they were pessimists, it was because they were optimists. It's what every Christian wants, to be a part of the end times -- it's their pride, vanity, and envy that makes them want to be part of this special group of people.

they were basically under the opinion that the Kingdom of God was just around the corner, everythign that the Hebrew people had been taught up to that point made them think that yes the Messiah would come and then usher in the kingdom of Heaven, so the early Christians had good reason for their time to think that Armageddon was always just around the corner

There's an "It's the end of the world" guy in every generation, it seems. I wouldn't call this pessimistic.
