And the early Christians, including Paul, not not believe that the world was coming to an end and that Jesus was about to come again?

Some thought that the second coming was imminent while others didn't. Paul scolded the Thessalonians for quitting work, etc. in preparation for the second coming and, in some cases, for believing that Christ had already come again. He said that when Christ comes again, we'll all know it.
