Since most prophecies don't come with specific dates or names, it's hard to tell whether they came true or not. If you take Nostradamus, for example, some (if not most) of his quatrains are so vague, they could be applied to several past events at once.
So, it's not really a question of prophecies coming true or not, but one of understanding them.

Christianity has never predicted the end time(to a specific date).
People do...random people

That is a pretty daring statement to make until the world has ended, isn't it? Because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it isn't going to. Because you don't know everything how do you know that they haven't come true? Because you aren't well trained in the Bible how do you know that you understand it correctly. I say just wait until time is finished and we will see.

The Book says people will say they have been predicting it forever, and it hasn't happened. And that's when it will happen!
People have been predicting things without CLEAR SIGNS.
Like we are seeing today, the major Earth changes taking place.
Wish fulfillment.
But the signs TODAY are CLEAR!

The last of prophets in the order of time was Malachias.
Latin Vulgate
Douay-Rheims Bible
Second Epistle Of Saint Peter
Chapter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there shall be among you lying teachers, who shall bring in sects of perdition, and deny the Lord who bought them: bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their riotousnesses, through whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you. Whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their perdition slumbereth not. 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but delivered them, drawn down by infernal ropes to the lower hell, unto torments, to be reserved unto judgment
11 Whereas angels who are greater in strength and power, bring not against themselves a railing judgment. 12 But these men, as irrational beasts, naturally tending to the snare and to destruction, blaspheming those things which they know not, shall perish in their corruption, 13 Receiving the reward of their injustice, counting for a pleasure the delights of a day: stains and spots, sporting themselves to excess, rioting in their feasts with you: 14 Having eyes full of adultery and of sin that ceaseth not: alluring unstable souls, having their heart exercised with covetousness, children of malediction

Don't blame Christianity for the actions of the non-Christian cults, like the Catholic church, the Mormon church, and JWs.
JWs are most famous for making prophesies that did not happen.
A true prophet of God would never be wrong.
