Your comment wasn't about an apocalypse in general. Your comment was about the belief "that the apocalypse is going to happen in their lifetime." Since you seem to be interested in logical fallacies, the one you exhibit here is the fallacy of the moving goalposts.
Every major belief system in western thought since and including the Hellenistic period has generally endorsed the belief in an apocalypse in general.
