The original Revelation was for the Jewish Diaspora in 69 AD, so it's a bit older than your grandmother. I'm sure that Europeans during the plague in the mid-14th century surely thought it was the end times watching 1/3 of the population die. Of course in terrible times everyone wants to feel that end times are near. I feel that we are not to focus on end times, but rather live our lives as though this is the last day (without getting radical about it). Returns to the truth that the personal relationship with God is what's the most important.
PS Jesus did return in that time, during the resurrection. Don't throw out Bible verses without some contemplation, cross-referencing, and general common sense (response to one of the "answers."

The bible in more than one place says that in the end times that there would be mocker. This didn't mean a whole lot to me until I stumbled onto R&S (or was led) .

We don't know when it'll happen, but The Lord Jesus gave us signs to watch for.lately (if you study Bible prophecy) you'll notice the snowballing of foretold events. Just read The Bible and watch the knews and you'll begin to realize what I mean. Online research wouldn't hurt either!

Cosmologically speaking, 500 yrs, even 2000, even the entire length of existance of humanity up to this point, is a very, very short amount of time.

It will continue to be said UNTIL HE COMES!!! Actually, they have been saying it for thousands of years! At least since, JESUS' time.
GOD bless

When the sun blows up, or a black hole comes they will all start shouting it is the end, yet it will be completely different than what the bible says, yet they will say it

Heck he said he'd be back while people were still alive, so we are coming up on 2000 years.
