I agree that predicting the end times (though we do know roughly when the universe will likely cease to have any matter) is ridiculous. But then I also think it is ridiculous to believe in the divinity of Jesus so to me they're both pretty much equally odd. Once you've accepted the latter, the former seems like a baby step.
That said, this particular strain of end days prediction doesn't so much set a date as say that the Bible details some pre-requisites and seeks to bring them to fruition (thus their support for Israel, they may not know when exactly the end will happen but if it won't happen until after Israel is re-established then seeing that done would be a good thing).
