Patriarch Kirill on the fact that “Christians are not afraid of the end of the world”: I would like to note that the fear-mongering around possible apocalyptic scenarios, excessive alarmism and speculation on the nuclear issue are not useful from a spiritual point of view. The enemy of the human race is trying to sow confusion and anxiety in the hearts of people in order to paralyze their will and deprive them of courage. Christians are not afraid of the so-called end of the world. We are waiting for the Lord Jesus, who will come in great glory, destroy evil and judge all nations, but such hope does not mean that we should sit back and silently watch what is happening, allowing evil to triumph.
