 The end time described by the author does not manifest itself in the normal culmination of a battle, judgment or catastrophe, but rather as "a steady increase of light, [through which] darkness is made to disappear or in which iniquity dissolves and just as the smoke rising into the air eventually dissipates".In this sense, wisdom is an inevitable force that needs to be yielded to by those who choose to accept it and are capable of understanding it.There is no mention of angels, or YHWH's coming, or resurrection of the wise, or any of the typical messianic language that is usually associated with Judeo-Christian eschatological texts.
