This text examines the origin of Jewish apocalyptic literature, the literature of groups who were convinced that the End was near. The author points out that many stories in Jewish apocalyptic literature evolved from conversations around the campfire, the hearth, or anywhere people would customarily gather to relax and talk. He further explains the importance of such folklore and humour: the physical relaxation and psychological release from laughing, served as a catharsis from physical labours and political oppression.
