SALGADO GONTIJO, Clovis. "Darkness of Time". Theol. Xave. [online]. 2016, vol.66, n.182, pp.471-495. ISSN 0120-3649.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javeriana.tx66-182.ttfnti.

The book of Revelation describes the "final Paradise" as an environment in which certain "realities" of the present existence will be suppressed, among them, night time, whose abolition has been related throughout the Middle Ages to the suppression of time-inferred from certain interpretation of Rev 10:6. Based on the medieval reception of Revelation, this article intends to analyze to what extent the supposed end of the night and of time can be associated, either by the elements found in the biblical sources or by the common structures of imaginary and of perception.

Keywords : Paradise; Nightly Experience; Temporality; Christian Imaginary; Medieval.
