Towards its end, the Hebrew Bible starts to express ideas about what will happen at the "End of Days" or what we sometimes call "The Messianic Era". These ideas were later developed to a larger extent in the Second Temple Period, early Christianity, and eventually in Islam. In this course we will trace the history and evolution of these beliefs and explore variations like physical resurrection versus spiritual resurrection, who will enjoy the world to come, and the Kingdom of Heaven upon Earth, etc.
