| Sumario: | Paper examines social capacities of apocalyptic literature and presents some of its crucial concepts, motives and functions. It offers some of most important uptakes of end time narratives usage in a religious, but in a political and cultural context, also. Presenting apocalyptic literature as a compex genre, paper offers a view of multifunctional phenomenon that had been used by different social groups and agents. Paper portrays apocalypses as a part of revolutionary ideoloical texts and paralysing discourse of fear. By refering onto a structural liminality and prophetic method, it deconstructs way of manipulating with an apocalyptic imagination and socio-political acting. By representing main product of eschatology, as mileniarism and apocalypticism, paper offers understanding of revelations as a part of theology, teleology and philosophy of history and humankind.
