Who are the saints?
What future have they got?
First, let's get something right --
It's not the world who decides who becomes a saint.
Only GOD decides.
The Bible tells us more:

Daniel 7:25-27

until a time and times and the dividing of time.

and they shall take away his dominion,
to consume and to destroy it unto the end.
27 And the kingdom and dominion,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High,
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
