More than ever, current events suggest that we are close to the end of the world, or more precisely the end of a world, that is to say, the end of a cycle in the history of humanity.
The new era that is about to begin is called the millennium. Although not explicitly named as such, the Bible speaks of a thousand-year period that will follow the world as we know it.
The establishment of this new era is directly linked to the fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, a story recounted in the Book of Genesis, since it aims at the "repair of the world".
Drawing on Jewish and rabbinic traditions, Jean-Marc Thobois, with his usual brilliance, offers a brief biblical study of the concept of the millennium.
God's judgment is not his final word; it is only the penultimate one. God's will is not that this world should perish, but that it should be restored.
