Abstract
This chapter first summarizes Martinus C. de Boer's analysis of Paul from the perspective of Jewish apocalyptic eschatology in the early Church. Then, it looks at the scenarios depicted in 1 Cor 15 and the Book of Revelation. It also looks at a slant within the development of early Christian eschatology by looking at a number of key authors from the 2nd and 3rd centuries. It becomes clear that originally distinct scenarios of the final period of history gradually merged into a harmonization of texts in the period under consideration, a development in which 1 Cor 15 gave way to 2 Thess 2, and death was ultimately defeated by Antichrist. Keywords:Antichrist; christian apocalyptic eschatology; church; Jewish; Paul
