Well yeah... Christianity is a death cult. Since the very beginning they've been saying that the end times are coming soon. I guess some of them finally realise 2000 years is in no way "soon" and maybe they need to do something about it.

    The Bible itself says that no one will know the day or the hour. So yeah, these people are… really something.

    The bible also says it'll be within the lifetime of the disciples, so clearly it got some things wrong, or we somehow missed the apocalypse.

    Who ever said there aren't still disciples? It's literally the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20; also Mark 16:15-16).

    ^(19)Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, ^(20)and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.
