Islam has similar doctrine, if memory serves.

I don't think looking up textual support would do you much good, though. The entire field of Christian eschatology is incredibly confused and basically rests on the precise interpretation of maybe a half-dozen passages in the Bible; outside of a few denominations like the SDA, I don't get the impression that folk Christianity takes it very seriously.
