Apocalypse Now
Question
Hello and greetings,
How does the Rabbi explain the penetration of apocalyptic ideas into the Bible? Seemingly, apocalypse is opposed to prophecy mainly in that it takes away from a person the duty of responsibility for his actions, since whatever will happen will happen, with no dependence at all between human actions and their consequences?
Best regards, Benjamin
Answer
These are general declarations. I don’t see any point in discussing them.
