| Summary: | In two recent articles Konrad R. Shaefer analyzes Zech 14, where he considers the festival of Sukkot to have had an eschatological orientation already in early second temple times. This claim cannot be substantiated. Sukkot had a thisworldly focus: the people thanked God for the harvest and participated in the splendid temple rites with which the cult sought to stimulate the fertility of the earth. The role of Sukkot in the eschatological vision devolves from the fact that Sukkot was the leading temple festival during the second temple period. The prophet pictured worship in the eschatological temple in terms of the acme of cultic worship — the festival of Sukkot. Dans deux articles récents, Konrad R. Schaefer analyse Zach. 14, où il considère que la fête de Sukkot avait eu une orientation eschatologique dès les débuts de la période du second temple. Cela ne peut être soutenu. Sukkot a ce but précis : le peuple remercie Dieu pour la récolte et participe aux rites splendides du temple, par lesquels le culte vise à stimuler la fertilité. Le rôle de Sukkot dans la vision eschatologique dérive du fait que Sukkot était la plus importante fête du temple à son époque. Le prophète décrit le culte du temple eschatologique dans les termes de l'apothéose du rituel — la fête de Sukkot. |
