The legend of King Arthur and his knights of the Round Table is immemorial. The heroic knights and their king’s tales contribute western society a great literature that is still well- known today. King Arthur along with the theme of chivalry greatly impacted not only western civilization, but all of society throughout the centuries. King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table have been around for thousands of years but are only legends. The first reference to King Arthur was in the Historia Brittonum written by Nennius a Welsh monk around 830A.D. The fascinating legends however did not come until 1133 A.D in the work Historia Regum Britaniae written by a Welsh cleric, Geoffrey of Monmouth. His work was actually meant to be a historical document, but over time many other writers added on fictional tales. The Round Table was added in 1155 A.D by a French poet Maistre Wace. Both the English and French cycles of Arthurian Legend are controlled by three inter-related themes:

"The peculiarity of Paul's eschatology," is an explanatory study of Paul's theological thought, specifically relating to the ideas or teachings of the end-time (eschatology). It is remembered that eschatology is one of the doctrines in systematic theology that has not yet been fulfilled so it often leads to debate and often becomes a neglected doctrine because of the difficulty or error in interpreting the teaching. in this connection, this study intends to provide clarification and affirmation that Paul's belief in the events of the end times contained in his eschatological discussion is a fact that will really happen. In addition, this study also intends to convey the uniqueness or uniqueness of the end-time doctrine from the perspective of the apostle Paul. To realize that understanding, the author conducts a study of several Bible verses and the views of the experts in approaching the passages of Paul's eschatology. From this approach, there is some understanding of the peculiarities of Paul's eschatology whose impure theological thought is derived from himself, but his thoughts have had a significant influence, among them his background as a genuine Jew, his background of life stained by Greek thought, and that is primarily the influence of Paul's own Christian experience. Second, the peculiarity of Paul's eschatology is apparent through the notion of parousia, which refers to the notion of the second coming of Christ, the persistent perspective and hope of Paul in the second coming of Christ, and the deeply christological nuance found in his eschatological thought.Keywords: peculiarities, eschatology, Paul, end times, parousia, the second coming of the Lord.Abstrak“Kekhasan Eskatologi Paulus,” merupakan penelitian yang memberikan eksplanatori mengenai pemikiran-pemikiran teologis Paulus, secara khusus berkaitan dengan pemikiran-pemikiran atau pengajaran mengenai akhir zaman (eskatologi). Hal tersebut mengingat bahwa eskatologi merupakah salah satu doktrin dalam teologi sistematika yang belum tergenapi sehingga seringkali menimbulkan perdebatan dan tidak jarang menjadi doktrin yang diabaikan karena kesulitan atau kekeliruan dalam menafsirkan ajaran tersebut. sehubungan dengan hal tersebut, maka penelitian ini bermaksud untuk memberikan klarifikasi dan afirmasi bahwa keyakinan Paulus akan peristiwa-peristiwa akhir zaman yang terdapat dalam pembahasan eskatologinya merupakan fakta yang benar-benar akan terjadi. Di samping itu, penelitian ini juga bermaksud untuk menyampaikan keunikan atau kekhasan doktrin akhir zaman tersebut dari perspektif rasul Paulus. Untuk mewujudkan pemahaman tersebut, maka penulis melaksanakan kajian terhadap beberapa ayat Alkitab dan pandangan para pakar dalam mengadakan pendekatan terhadap ayat-ayat eskatologi Paulus. Dari pendekatan tersebut, diperoleh beberapa pemahaman mengenai kekhasan daripada eskatologi Paulus yang pemikiran teologis yang tidak murni berasal dari dirinya sendiri, namun pemikirannya mendapat pengaruh yang cukup signifikan, di antaranya adalah latar belakangnya sebagai orang Yahudi asli, latar belakang kehidupannya yang diwarnai oleh pemikiran Yunani, dan yang terutama adalah pengaruh pengalaman kekristenan Paulus sendiri. Kedua, kekhasan eskatologi Paulus nampak melalui pengertian parousia, yang merujuk pada pengertian kedatangan Kristus yang kedua kali, perspektif dan pengharapan Paulus yang pasti akan kedatangan Kristus yang kedua kali, serta nuansa kristologi yang sangat kental yang ditemukan dalam pemikiran eskatologinya.Kata-kata kunci: kekhasan, eskatologi, Paulus, akhir zaman, parousia, kedatangan Tuhan kedua kali.

During the Commonwealth period, Parliament ejected over 2000 Church of England clerics from their livings, and multiple new Protestant congregations were formed, bringing new styles of discourses of religion and spirituality. Ministers ejected from their parishes, such as Jeremy Taylor and Thomas Fuller, published ecclesiastical histories, books of devotion and meditation, and advice for enduring hardship. Protestant sectarians preached informed by the spirit rather than the university or ordination; such ‘mechanic preachers’ included John Bunyan and women such as Katherine Chidley, who led a London congregation. More radical sects such as the Fifth Monarchists preached the second coming of Christ, and prophets such as Anna Trapnel urged England to become a godly country for his return and judgment. The Quaker movement, begun by George Fox, gathered believers who challenged both social and religious hierarchies and customs, leading to their persecution and imprisonment.

The Rapture is the sudden and hoped for event of the second coming of Jesus Christ in the clouds to raise true Christian believers to heaven. American popular culture has played with this scenario in a variety of genres (e.g., television, film, novels), most often in a satirical way. From the faith perspective, the Rapture is a major theme in Christian fiction (the Left Behind series) and follows a timeline of political and historical events. Representations of the Rapture in popular culture often reflect the current political climate and the psychological anxiety, isolation, and sense of persecution of believers.
