Apocalyptic literature is a specific prophetic genre. The expectation of end-time events led to a transformation in outlook, the result of which was apocalypticism. Post-exilic prophecy became concerned with God’s judgment and the problem of salvation. I am interested in the way in which apocalyptic texts shape faith and hope. My intention is to examine how apocalypticism uniquely contributes to the faith. Why do people write supposed revelations in this kind of a style? Why is it such a sudden increase in the interest in apocalyptic after exile? Why it becomes apocalyptic dominant? Is there a point that can even be called a turning point? What does apocaliptycism contribute to the survival of marginalized faith communities and what does giving to them? What kind of changes developed apocalyptic? Faith and hope could be a unifying element in this genre as God's Judgment is never the last word for Israel or other nations. Apocalypticism emberges a new genre, the post exilic reality. Apocalypticism help people to go through hard times, as well as to hold up hope. Key words: rise of apocalyptic, faith, hope.
