This article discusses the eschatology (end times) in the perspective of the Gospel of Mark. This topic is not contained in the other chapters in the book of Mark, rather than just in Mark 13: 1-37. Mark 13: 1-37 , featuring a view of the history in which the crisis and persecution at this age will pave the way for a future. It draws from the passage is an introduction to the understanding of eschatology, beginning with the statement of a disciple of Jesus about the temple (13:1) and the response of the Lord Jesus spoke of the events still in the future (eschatology) and at the same time talking about events imminent (the collapse of the temple). Both events are discussed simultaneously, as if the two events occur at the same time. In this paper, the two events referred to as a dual prophecy of the Lord Jesus. In Mark 13, the Lord Jesus spoke of the end of world history has begun. The period between the sufferings and death of Jesus until His coming the second time is the final phase of the history of the old times, before the start of a new era that is, when the Son of Man comes in all his glory. The phase between the two ages was marked by signs or events, both general and specific nature

The history of the European Renaissance has been written in many versions. The move from medieval to Renaissance period in world history shows clashes between empires and human nature. The contemporary scholars have many variants of history to choose from and form their own views about what actually transpired during the historical period. The most significant role of the Medici family was in the new era of European history that witnessed the art of administration on the Medici Bank in Florence/Italy. This paper portrays the point of view of the influence of Islamic Arab scholars as scribes in the re-introduction of Greek-Aristotelian philosophies to Renaissance Europe. This view is being increasingly challenged. The Islamic-Arab scholars such as Averroes and Avicenna were not mere scribes. Better translations of Arabic and Persian historical treasures reveal that the Islamic-Arab scholars during the golden age of Islam were globally accepted literary giants who made profound changes to the ideological shaping of Renaissance Europe.

A New era in the history of nineteenth-century Mexico began with the collapse of the Second Empire in 1867 and the re-founding of the Republic. Naturally, the first decade or so of this new era were years of transition. Then followed what is correctly termed the Díaz era, ending in 1910 with the overthrow of President Porfirio Díaz who for so many years, beginning in 1876, controlled the political affairs of Mexico and by his policy of peace, as González Peña points out, made it possible for Mexican literature to flower as it never had flowered before. For the Church, too, despite the existing “Reform” laws, the policy of Diaz meant comparative peace and greater freedom of action in promoting the common good of the nation. Correspondingly, as might be expected, Catholic “conservatives” in matters of religion began to feel more at ease also in the temple of Mexican culture and participated with renewed enthusiasm in the literary life of their native land.

“On earth as it is in heaven”: Matthew’s eschatology as the kingdom of heaven that has come In the article time as both “imagined” and “experienced” is explained against the background of the first-century Mediterranean conceptualisation of time. This reading scenario is seen as over against a modern Eurocentric ethnocentric interpretation of the concept "apocalyptic- eschatology”. The aim of the article is to argue that Matthew’s narration of the demolition of the temple in Jerusalem concurs with his belief that the first followers of Jesus experienced the vision of the coming of the Son of man and that both these experiences are presented in Matthew as though Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection are incidents of the past. Matthew’s eschatology centres on the view that the final consummation of time has already begun. The article explores the ethical appeal which is communicated through such an eschatological reading scenario. This appeal is summarised by Jesus’ words “On earth as it is in heaven”. The article consists of a conversation about core issues in mainstream interpretations of what Matthew’s eschatology could be within the narrative’s plot as it contextualised in formative Christianity and formative Judaism. The view assumed in this article is that the “time” and the experiences of Matthew’s church and those of Jesus and his disciples are considered to be integrated within the history of Israel.

Matthew considers both the fall of Jerusalem /the Temple and the coming of the Son of Man as Being anticipated in the crucifixion/resurrection of Jesus. This article argues that Matthew places these two events within his desciption of the history of Israel, that the events are revealed in Scipture, and that the peiod of the First Testament should not be viewed as concluded time. It is also argued that the so-called tension between "imminence" and "indeterminate future" must be understood from first-century Mediterraneans' perspective on time; that the key of Matthew's understanding of time is to befound in discerning what is called the turning of the tide; and, finally, that Matthew 27:45-54 is located where, within that discourse in the plot of Matthew, this "eschatotogical turning of time" is reported.

AbstractFor Josephus 3 Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther are the main sources for the history of the Persian era. His description of the final phase of the Persian domination focuses on three major incidents: the fratricide in the temple and the intervention of Bagoses; the foundation of the Gerizim Temple, which originated in an inner-Judean conflict and Alexander's visit of Jerusalem. This material, as well as the account of the transition of the empire to the Macedonians, is structured on the basis of historical knowledge of the Persian period derived from Greek sources. The major themes of Josephus' account are: (1) a close political and religious relationship with the Persian kings; (2) conflicts with the surrounding nations (most prominently with the Samaritans), while maintaining a strong loyalty to the Persians; and (3) united political actions of the Judeans under the leadership of figures like Zerubbabel, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Mordecai. Only in the last phase of Persian rule does this unity break down. In many respects the epoch is a prototype of the behavior of Judeans and Jews in relation to the dominant world power in later periods.

The Biblical writers notice history as the space of God’s rule. He is the director, who comes into contact with human being through signs – events and words, and also He is the history’s perpetuum mobile. Rev 12 specifically reflect nowadays and the previous in the context of the whole world’s vision and mix the reference to facts (lack of the temple, ark, faithful people, horrible experiences, the death danger), places (the temple, a desert), persons (the Child-Ruler, Michael) with the Old Testament figurative exposing, a typical one for such a book (the Woman with Child, the heaven, the dragon), enriched with a lot of symbols (a crown, a horn, the moon under feet). God’s interference into World history is presented through lightning, voices, thunder, an earthquake and great hail, that stress His power and supremacy. The biblical writer refers to events, which make place whole the time in the natural- and supernatural space, like: the war between God and evil, persecutions, hiding, God’s care of men. The specific literary structure of Rev 12, contrary to the other parts of that book, seem to help to put an accent for the fundamental truths for transcendental theology of history of which the most important is the eternal rule of God and only accidental, finished in the time perspective of Satan’s position.
