Abstract

The "Millennium Yearbook / Millennium Yearbook" examines the "Apocalypse of Peter" as the origin of the Christian Hell. The punishment of the godless in the lake of fire plays a central role in early Christian apocalypses. The Apocalypse of Peter aims to provide comfort for threatened believers who are suffering persecution. The text emphasizes the hope of redemption for believers who remain steadfast in the face of suffering. The visions of the apocalypse show a future full of happiness and harmony for the chosen ones.
