Abstract
Abstract The article is looking for traits of the concept of God’s covenant with Israel within the Book of Revelation. It persues the question how far elements of this theological concept were adopted and to which extent they have been altered by John. In analyzing the use of διαθήκη in Rev 11:16 as well as of the formula of the covenant in Rev 21:3 and 21:7 the idea of “covenant” presents itself to be just one among several other motives taken up by John from the Old Testament without stressing it. John is putting the idea of God’s covenant in a new and emphasised universal horizon extending it to all humankind.
