Stefanos Mihalios examines the uses of the 'hour' in the writings
of John and demonstrates the contribution of Danielic eschatology
to John's understanding of this concept. Mihalios begins by tracing
the notion of an eschatological time in the Old Testament within
expressions such as 'in that time' and 'time of distress,' which
also appear in the book of Daniel and relate to the eschatological
hour found in Daniel. Mihalios finds that even within the Jewish
tradition there exists an anticipation of the fulfillment of the
Danielic eschatological time, since the eschatological hour appears
in the Jewish literature within contexts that allude to the
Danielic end-time events. Mihalios moves on to examines the
Johannine eschatological expressions and themes that have their
source in Daniel, finding evidence of clear allusions whenever the
word 'hour' arises. Through this examination, he concludes that for
the Johannine Jesus use of the term 'hour' indicates that the final
hour of tribulation and resurrection, as it is depicted in Daniel,
has arrived.
