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. Without naming it as such, the Bible nevertheless speaks of a thousand-year period destined to succeed 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, as it aims for 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 for this world to perish, but for it to be restored.
