Second Peter and Hey Jude

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "The Catholic Bible Online, 2009, states that Gnostism appears to have existed pre-Christian era in the form of Hellenistic influence, myth based on different theology, although true to the Gnostic, and possibly as the doctrine of Indian, Syrian, and Phoenician nations. (The Catholic Bible, paraphrased) The doctrine of [salvation by knowledge]. Based on the etymology of the word (gnosis "knowledge", gnostikos, "good at knowing") (The Catholic Bible). (http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/06592a.htm) (emphases in the article)"

What common elements do II Peter and Jude have in their view of eschatology (the end of the world, the second coming of Jesus, and judgment on sinners, etc.)? Do we see this kind of thinking in the church today? Where?

II Peter and Jude speak in common on the issues above.
Since the second coming of Jesus has been delayed the false teachers would try to talk the bvelievers out of their hope.

Peter discusses "the day of the Lord" and other similar phrases indicating the end times, as Jude does, as well. Peter is a letter of exhortation and warning. Of the false prophets it is said:
"And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not and their damnation slumbereth not." (II Peter 2:3, King James Version) The leaders pulling the neophytes away from the faith are actually acting out in greed by using people and desiring them as merchandise.
I
n Jude, "The tone is of stern reproof in regards to certain evils brought in by men who had professed to receive the grace of God, and [Jude] warns of the certainty of Divine Judgment, illustrating from Old Testament History", i.e. the flood in Noah's day. (p. 1880.The judgment to be given to those men is the "fire out from which we are to pull them." (Jude 23, Companion Bible, 1989)

There is that kind of thinking in the church today in regards to Jesus not coming back for the believers. False teachers still try to draw away new believers from the faith for their own selfish greed of having numbers in their church, which appeals to their pride. Being a "leader" at all appeals to their pride, too.
