The article examines the period of the birth of the Church of Zion in Late Antiquityand the main ideas, thanks to which the prophetic narrative was transformed in the context of eschatology. Three aspects are analyzed to clarify this topic: the formation of the relevant texts of New Testament literature, some of which will then enter the Canon and by the fourth century become the legitimate basis of dogma; the activities of the community and of the church, in particular the Apostolic cathedral, based on confessional and historical sources. The third aspect is the emergence of “Paulinism”, that is, the ideas of the Apostle Paul in the context of his mission of this period, the expansion of missionary activity, the comparison of Paul’s texts with the Revelation of John. The study highlights the reasons for the birth of the universal mission of Christianity and the Hellenization of Judaism, which are significant for the religious mutations of Late Antiquity and are interconnected with other socio-political processes in the Palestinian territory. This article suggests the hypothesis that the narrative is an anthropological pattern or form creating a new Christian perspective on the role of prophets. The study follows the methodology of biblical studies and continues to clarify aspects of the phenomenon of Judeo-Christian eschatology, a more detailed analysis of which has already been undertaken in previous articles.
