I figured it was when all the Left Behind series books came out, people jumped on the bandwagon with the rapture, yet it was earlier than that. The books must have been a result of the hype, not the other way around.
Yeah, it was probably Hal Lindsey who started most of it, (The Late Great Planet Earth, and then the '88 series, and several others) http://www.biblicalperspectives.com/books/jigsaw_puzzle/3.html
