1000-letnie Królestwo Pokoju w Apokalipsie Jana
Gradl, Hans Georg (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
The Millennial Kingdom in the Revelation of John raises many questions. The history of interpretation gives different and disparate answers on central questions: Why is this earthly kingdom of peace necessary at all before the coming of the heavenly Jerusalem? How should the period of thousand years be understood: chronologically or metaphorically? The article offers an interpretation of Rev. 20:1-10 and a fresh understanding of the imagery of the apocalypse and the meaning of the millennial kingdom. John connects two different traditions and Jewish expectations: a national-earthly and a universal-heavenly reign. The realization of a period of peace on earth illustrates the goodness and the purpose of creation. The millennium represents a meaningful counter-image to the Pax Romana: a Pax Christiana, which is not based on violence and oppression, but on justice and dedication.
Czy Apokalipsa jest tysiącletnia?
Vanni, Ugo (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
Father Ugo Vanni in his article shows the relationship between the Millenarianism and the Apocalypse. The author emphasizes that over the centuries supporters of Chiliasm, among others ebionites, cemtians, millennialists were inspired above all by the twentieth chapter of the Apocalypse of Saint. John the Apostle. That is why the author puts under exegesis these parts of the Holy Bible. In the light of the results of exegesis, we can interpret the basic requirements of millenarianism, which are very significant even for today’s Christian. The article shows the complex message of the kingdom in this difficult passage, we can say that Rev 20: 1-10, on the one hand protects Christians against pessimism and hopelessness, but gives a certain illusion of paradise on earth, and on the other hand encourages Christians to be responsible for the development of strong faith and cooperation with Christ. This is the thousand-year message of the Apocalypse.
Eklezjologiczne zadomowienie millenaryzmu przez Augustyna
Tück, Jan Heiner (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
The early Church defended the realism of resurrection against Gnostic Docetism. It is all the more astonishing that the expectation of a Millennial Kingdom of Peace on earth (Rev. 20: 1-6) was not advocated in the same realistic way. Theologians such as Justin, Irenaeus of Lyons and Tertullian have openly taught chiliasm. However, there was an early criticism of a too literal interpretation of Revelation and the Prophets. Origen rejects the «judaistic» literary reading and opts for an allegorical interpretation. Augustine offers in his work «De civitate Dei» an ecclesiological domestication of chiliasmus: with long-term consequences for eschatology.
Ile millenaryzmu jest w bolszewizmie i narodowym socjalizmie?
Kiesel, Helmuth (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
As early as in the 1920s and 1930s commentators located chiliastic and millenaristic ideas in the ideology of communism and national socialism. This implies the thesis, that the millenarianism motives contributed to the sucess of communism and nazism. The in-depth analysis of recent research underlined this supposition. However, the significance of apocalyptic or chiliastic ideas for the consciousness of the Nazi leaders and for the acceptance of its policies among the population is still disputed.
Millenarystyczne rodzaje chrześcijaństwa
Hempelmann, Reinhard (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
With a certain simultaneity to de-eschatologizing tendencies in church and theology during the 19th and 20th centuries there were also counter-movements. In end-time movements highest attention was paid to the apocalyptic imagery of the Bible. The focus was less on the expectation of a new heaven and a new earth than on the destruction of the existing world in cosmic catastrophes. This eclectic reception of apocalyptic texts of the Bible took place on the one hand in revival movements of Protestantism, from which evangelical and pentecostal-charismatic forms of piety grew, which also found response in the Roman Catholic Church. On the other hand, this development took place in numerous Christian communities, which understood themselves as firm counterparts to the existing Christian churches, such as the Advent Movement, from which the Seventh-day Adventists emerged, or the Bible Student Movement, from which the organization Jehovah’s Witnesses developed. Of particular interest was the interpretation of events in view of the end of the world, which included the appearance of the Antichrist, the millennial kingdom as well as the expectation of doomsday scenarios.
Teologia historii jako program reform w następstwie Joachima z Fiore
Prügl, Thomas (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
In his eschatological vision of church history, Joachim of Fiore developed the traditional Augustinian pattern of the end times by introducing a millenaristic «third age» of the Holy Spirit, in which a new order of «spiritual men» will be able to understand the mysteries of Scripture with greater ease. The prophecies of the Calabrian Abbot were eagerly received by mendicant circles, who recognized in theses texts the providential role of their own orders. The most faithful follower of Joachim in this regard was Peter of John Olivi, the beacon of the Franciscan Spiritual movement. His Joachimism, however, did not insist on a special age of the Holy Spirit, but on the persecutions of true Christians across church history and on the imminent destruction of the «carnal Church», i.e. the enemies of the spiritual Franciscans, in the last period to come.
Teologia stworzenia w świetle wczesnochrześcijańskiego millenaryzmu
Mejzner, Mirosław (Wydawnictwo Pallottinum, 2020)
The article is an attempt to analyze the theology of creation in early Christian millenarian beliefs. On the example of the non-Asian environment in the pre-Constantine era, the genesis, essential elements and views of the main representatives of this trend are presented. The main purpose of the historical-theological analysis of these views is to capture the right and therefore still valid theological intuitions expressed in the concept of eschatological transformation of human being and the universe. Complementing the whole analysis is the hypothesis that in early Christian millenarian beliefs and in contemporary pro-ecological movements there is – with all ideological divergence – a common longing for a beautiful renewed world.
