Circa year 50 early christians were pretty sure that the time is at hand. End-game, which was to be followed by Heavenly kingdom on Earth I guess. Well... they are still waiting for it.
Sure there has been a lot happening since, but still we are here, waiting for something. Waiting someone else to save us.
Think about it.
It's pretty obvious we've run out of the luxury of waiting, and all those time filling amusments and distractions that went with it. The fire has been brought to our feet.
