Eucharystia między historią a eschatologią
Migut, Bogusław (Wydawnictwo Towarzystwa Naukowego Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego, 2016)
The article presents a model of eschatology in the light of the history of Salvation, in which the parousia is seen not only as the ultimate coming of Jesus Christ but also as “revelation ‒ ἀποκάλυψις [apokalypsis]” and “epiphany ‒ ἐπιφάνεια [epiphaneia].” This model of eschatology is derived from the Divine Revelation present in the Holy Bible and allows us to comprehend the eschatology of the apostolic era in the proper manner as Eucharistic eschatology. The paradigm for this eschatology is St Stephen’s vision of Christ during his martyr’s death (Acts 7:55–56). The best example of Eucharistic eschatology is the Gospel of St Luke, where the Eucharist is firmly tied with the reality of the Kingdom of God. After Christ’s resurrection each Eucharist constitutes participation in the eschatological feast in which the Master of Heaven and Earth serves the participants and gives Himself as nourishment. The very eternity is the Eucharist fulfilled.
