| Summary: | The present article deals with the literary and philological context of the Apocalypse of Zerubabel, with consequences on its dating. An analysis of the term and of the mysterious personage which lies behind it is offered: the myth of Armilos, Antimessiah of the final days. This public figure is identified with a Roman emperor from the end of the first century, at the time of Domitian, and not with a Byzantine emperor from the 8th century, as it used to be. The paper also studies possible parallels from Qumram texts that deal with the legend of an Antimessiah in order to reject the time of Emperor Augustus. The authorship of the Apocalypse of Zerubabel is set on an educated Jew who lived in Rome in the first century, after the destruction of the Temple, and was likely an eye witness of the construction of Domitian 'winter palace', in whose enclosure was erected a statue of the goddess Minerva. |
