Celem artykułu Osoba Jezusa Chrystusa istotą eschatologii chrześcijańskiej jest próba nakreślenia istotnych elementów chrześcijańskiej eschatologii na tle błędów, które w tym kontekście się pojawiają: millenaryzmu i wyznaczania daty paruzji. Chrześcijańskie oczekiwanie na „koniec świata” nie jest oczekiwaniem na coś, ale na Kogoś, jest to pełne ufności i nadziei oczekiwanie na ostateczne zwycięstwo Chrystusa na złem i śmiercią, które przyniesie również nam ostateczne zbawienie.

The aim of the article The Christian teaching and practice in anticipation of Parusia is to show the most important elements of Christian eschatology in a context of errors like millenarism or setting the exact date of the end of the world. In reality, Christians don’t expect the end of the world – something – but the return of Someone, of Jesus Christ, who comes to bring us the ultimate salvation.

The struggle between good and evil is one of the main subjects of the Epistle of Pseudo-Barnabas, which originated between 70 and 130, thus, in the period when apocalyptic literature was flourishing. The latter’s impact on the Epistle is undeniable, and is expressed in the characteristic approach of the present time as the „last days” marked by intense activity of evil forces. Even though the out­come of God’s struggle with Satan has already been decided by the victory of Jesus Christ on the cross, still it is ongoing, and at different levels. For Pseudo- Barnabas, two areas of this confrontation are of utmost importance: the ortho­doxy of faith and morality of life. The first issue is treated very broadly (chapters I-XVII), and its essence is to convince the readers of the Letter of the saving exclusivism of Christianity. The author radically opposes Judaism, considering all its laws and institutions in their historical implementation (e.g. sacrifices, fasting, Sabbath, temple, ritual ordinances) as the result of both the incorrect (physical) interpretation of the inspired Scriptures and submission to Satan’s insidious work. The only people of the Covenant are those who have believed in Jesus Christ and were immersed in the water of baptism. The other area of the still ongoing strug­gle is the heart of a Christian who, at any time, has to choose between the way of life and the way of death (chapters XVIII-XX). The final manifestation of Christ’s victory over evil will happen at His second coming, when He will put an end to the „times of the Wicked” and will bring into His Kingdom all the Christians faithful to His teaching.
