Swedish mystic Emanuel Swedenborg claimed the Last Judgment already occurred in the year 1757

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

Nothing relieves the anxiety of an impending apocalypse quite like a guy insisting we already missed it. Swedenborg was a brilliant scientist who suffered an intense mystical awakening in his fifties. He calmly reported that the Last Judgment took place in the spiritual realm in 1757, and he watched the whole thing like a VIP spectator. So don't worry, we're officially living in the post-credits scene.
