"necessarily"? We do know (don't we?) that one of those who said, "The  
time has come" was the walrus who walked with the carpenter. I don't  
know that there's any definitive answer to a question like this. My  
read on it is that there will be lots of people issuing apocalyptic  
announcements of this sort, not that they all will make precisely  
these pronouncements.
