Probably not. It was likely Paul that introduced the apocalyptic stuff. There were other sects with very different attitudes about time in general, which were declared heretical by Paul himself in his letters to Corinth where he lambasted them for following a different version of Jesus and was saying they shouldn’t get married and should give their lives to his church because the end times were near (and also to give him lots of money).
The KJ Bible to the historical Jesus of Nazareth. Assuming it’s translated, I’d like to see his reaction.
He’d probably be like, “Wait, the world isn’t going to end in my lifetime?”

“Apparently there were no good ears to hear?”
