When religious groups claim certain things will happen and they don't they will say it's something like new light as an excuse , or that it didn't happen in a particular way but did in another that you can't actually prove it. We don't know any dates or times. We could be in an unaccounted time and see some biblical signs. But any group that says the end of the world is on a date and it doesn't happen is exhibiting false prophecy . And the best thing to do would be to GET AWAY FROM THEM AS QUICK AS POSSIBLE.

Because reality *****-slapped them so hard that they couldn't take coming out in public anymore.
People have been proclaiming that they are living through the "end times" for waaaaay too long. There's always some unhygienic street-corner evangelist crackpot sputtering about how the world is going to end and that all the heathens better get the Lord harassed into their unsaved souls.
It STILL hasn't happened. The sky isn't falling. The oceans aren't boiling. Pigs are most definitely NOT sprouting wings and making like the birdies. They've been barking about it for years and years and years and they'll STILL be barking for years to come.
It's a scare tactic, a convenient freak- the- everliving- crap- out- of- folks magic wand that can be waved about in dramatic fashion any time the religious collective feels the soul harvest is running dry.
Trust me... go about your life. Ok, I'm sure you will anyhow considering there's really no alternative option (besides suicide, and I've heard "God" frowns upon that), but just make sure to keep in mind: STAY CALM. DON'T PANIC. REMEMBER YOUR TOWEL.

Cos they disappear into another dimension - full of all the other people who predicted the end of the world, where they will have to listen to Cliff Richard songs forever more.

Just know that there is not a single one of us that knows what God has planned as the "end of the world time". Be content to leave it in God's capable hands.

They run away before people can point out they were wrong
I believe our world has ended quite a few times already

Probably because the world they were announcing the end of was their own.

maybe thier embarrassed at their ignorance and claiming to have the knowledge of God? the bible clearly states no one knows when that day will be.
