Its been 2000+ years now and the "end times" have been spotted on numerous occasions, at the end of the first millennium, during the Black Death, during the crusades, WW1, WW2 and no doubt many others.

Will Christians wait for ever, or is there a time when soem will start to think - "this is not going to happen"?

Not much longer Dave. According to the Scriptures it seems Israel's second judgment lasts 1960 years. It began around AD 70. It doesn't appear the wait will be that much longer.

Strange question. How does it engage whether God exists or not?

Only cult-groups and fringe amateur exegetes specify dates for this event. The Church has had a broad range of opinions which do not in any way divide it. It is such a peripheral issue.
