Jesus
The key figure in many, especially
Christian and some New Age, apocalypticisms. The 1st century Jewish rabbi, Jesus or
Yeshua, here depicted as a medieval European King, is regarded by Christians as God in a
human body, i.e., human corporality or flesh forever united to the Divinity.This is the Jesus of
Classical, Ecclesiastical Christology.
For others, Jesus is mere man, although perhaps a great prophet and teacher of interpersonal and social ethics.
Most people at least believe Jesus was an historical figure.
Who will be the Jesus, if any, who comes at the End of Times?
Different Portraits of Jesus
There are many different portraits
of Jesus painted through discourse by rhetors from various religious or philosophical

Catholic, Protestant, Fundamentalist Christian,
Essene, Jewish, Mormon, New Age, Muslim,
