They went back into hiding and waited for the Holy Spirit to come.

"...as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, EVEN NOW ARE THERE MANY ANTICHRISTS..." (I John 2:18). "...He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son." (I John 2:22) "...many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist." (II John 1:7) Antichrist (against Christ) is a prevailing "attitude" (spirit) in the world.

Yes four times 1Jn 2:18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. 1Jn 2:22 Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. 1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 2Jn 1:7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Because if the Lord did not resurrected then there won't be Holy Ghost. The Lord must risen from death to go to heaven in order for the Holy spirit to come. Because there is Only One God (Deutronomy 6:4) and this God he is the Creator and He manifested in the Flesh to be a son and He is the Holy Ghost. He play three roles. That the reason why he told his followers that He must go to heaven and He will send a helper which is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit won't come if He did not go to heaven.
