The paper focuses on how the Hussite radicals dealt with the moderation of God’s word and the possible inspirations of their eschatological scenarios, the joachimist ideas in the first place. Hussite chiliastic articles cited expound verses from the Book of Jeremiah (31. 33-34) and the Gospel of John (6. 45). This can be read as wholly orthodox to this point. However, Hussite chiliasts, just like the Joachimite school of medieval apocalyptic thinking, associated this vision of an abundance of knowledge and enlightenment with the temporal history and read it literally as a part of the apocalyptic scenario.
