Abstract

The Iranian threat to political reality has loudly invited into the world of apocalypses. The Iranian component of the Judeo-Christian apocalyptic seems to lie more in the mythical content in the eschatological narrative framework, for which the rule Iran is more problematic. If the length and continuity of the Iranian individual eschatology have been confirmed at the end of this examination, it cannot be said of collective eschatology and even more apocalyptic genre. Faced with Iranian eschatology certainly rich in myths, but no former period be grasped in its entirety, before a gap documentary chronology from all sides, finally in front of the alternating certainties of Religionsgeschichtliche Schule and his critics, it is understandable that some get discouraged today to explore the contributions of Iranian thought to other religions of the ancient Near East
