عنوان مقاله [English]
The period between composition of the last book of the Old Testament
and the first book of the New Testament is called Intertestamental
Period. Jewish literature in this era, because of the encounter of the
Jews with other nations, flourished in various forms and genres. For
example, the genre of apocalypse as a result of the Iranian influence on
Judaism became prevalent in Jewish literature. The Greco-Roman
persecutions brought about a new eschatology in the intertestamental
apocalypses, which was on the one hand in accordance with the
teachings of the Old Testament, and on the other, it consoled the
historical sufferings of the Israelite nation. This eschatology depended
on a historical determinism which observed the depravities of the
human society as the cause of cosmic misfortunes, which in its turn
was the prologue to the advent of the Messiah. The apocalypses'
transhistorical approach to the end time events altered the historical
views of the Old Testament. The apocalyptists of the intertestamental
period believed that the hereafter was in motion parallel to this world
and heavenly Jerusalem, which was the symbol of the kingdom of God,
was established in the heart of the righteous men.
