Archaeology / jesus history
English term or phrase: vein
Esta palabra aparece en un documental sobre la historia de jesus.
El contexto es el siguiente:
Prof. MICHAEL WHITE: Now, we typically think of this as reflecting a belief in the end of the world. But in fact, that's not exactly what they thought. They used language like "the end" or "the last things" or "the last days", but what they mean is the present evil age is coming to an end. This is really more in the vein of a transformation of the present social order and a return to a kind of golden age of statehood and independence. So it's really kind of a political expectation. It's not otherworldly. In fact, when it comes, it'll be right here and right now.[www.pbs.org: Apocalyptic world views in Jesus' time]
