Jelaskan Kekristenan dari Apokaliptisisme

Beberapa akademisi meyakini bahwa ajaran-ajaran apokaliptik Yesus merupakan pesan utama yang Ia sampaikan, bahkan lebih utama dari mesianisme Yesus.

Injil menggambarkan Yesus sebagai seorang nabi apokaliptik, dideskripsikan oleh diri-Nya sendiri dan oleh orang-orang lain sebagai Putra Manusia—diterjemahkan sebagai Putra Umat Manusia—untuk mengadakan pemulihan bagi Israel. Yesus sendiri, sebagai Putra Allah, yakni suatu deskripsi yang digunakan oleh diri-Nya sendiri dan orang lain terhadap-Nya, ditetapkan untuk memerintah kerajaan ini sebagai Tuhan atas Kedua Belas Rasul, para hakim kedua belas suku.
