Why are evangelicals so obsessed with the end of the world in the chapter of Revelations? It seems to me that's the only message that really resonates with them about Christ. Most of the other branches of Christianity don't focus on it too much or don't have an official interpretation of it. I know the Eastern Orthodox, which I am working on joining, probably has the most hands off approach with that chapter of the Bible. Even the more liberal parts of the evangelical movement obsess over it. Why is it the case?

Man, as a Christian While I do read the Bible, I take the Bible as a whole and not JUST revelations.
Some focus because "HEY, JESUS IS COMING BACK FOR MEEEEEEE!" But...I kinda disagree. It's a bit presumptive to assume that you're sooooo important that the world will end just because of you.
And the rest of them are probably just because you picked a church that was having a sermon on revelations that day.
Also, I don't think this is the right board for this.

>Man, as a Christian
Did you fall down a stairwell or something?
How fucking stupid do you have to be to be a christfag in this day and age? It's just as ridiculous and morally grotesque as Islam or Judaism.
Where the fuck do you idiots keep coming from? I swear, even as little as three or four years ago you braindead fucks were still an extreme minority on 4chan and now it seems like cancerous christfaggotry is popping up everywhere. This is like a memetic form of Polio. Shouldn't be around any more, at least not here of all placed.

Would humanities or history be better?

I think it's because they believe it's happening right now. Not all Christian sects have interpreted it this way. Some believe the war on Armageddon already happened and we're in the peaceful period. It's easy to interpret anyone as the false prophet and gog and magog as nations who will destroy humanity.
tldr They want to convert as many people as they can before the end of the world so their souls are saved.
Protestantism is the worst Christian heresy.

They came when right-wing reddit embraced /pol/

because they want to scare people into converting
>you're going to die
>the world will violently end anyways if you happen to live long enough
>you'll burn in Hell forever
>unless you follow these simple
>do the same thing to other people
it propagates like an organism and all of their morals/beliefs boil down to breeding and converting more people

Fearmongering. It's the same shit the news does.

That might be the case for some evangelicals, but you have the snake handlers who are legitimately insane. Some of these people are 100% sure shit is about to go down.
