Preachers who want to terrify us about the last days have their own axe to grind. Some hope that the prospect of the end of the world might jolt us into faith. They beg for donations so they can spread the good news to others. There are writers who make millions selling books on the topic the end times for the gullible. Some even manage to predict the date, and when it doesn't happen, they have the gall to come predicting another equally certain end twenty years down the road.
Genuine faith is a direction of looking.
We look to the Creator who placed us in this very temporary world with all its uncertainties. But faith in the Creator does not help much if God does not love and care for us as individuals. If his main interest is in threatening us with the end the world, and millions burning in hell, better steer clear of such a monster. But Paul tells us that much more needs to happen before God has finished his purposes for our world. Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power.
