This project seeks a rational context for New Testament teaching about an imminent Parousia in order to demonstrate continuity between Jesus' preaching of the Kingdom of God and Old Testament eschatology, focusing on biblical texts and Jewish and Christian literature from the period between 200 BC and AD 200. The project revealed some forgotten trajectories that shed light on such texts as Matthew 24, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Romans 11. The project concludes that the earliest Christians expected a heavenly kingdom on earth as promised in Daniel 7 and 9, and that this 'restorationist' theology remained active until the third century AD. The failure of the kingdom to appear in it fullness as expected can be explained by reference to conditional prophecies in the Old Testament that remained unfulfilled because of disobedience on the part of God's people.
