Keywords: macrostructural analysis; eschatological reading; Pentateuch; eschatological Christology; unity of the Scripture.

Summary/Abstract: The study comes as a continuation of the author’s preoccupation for the identification of the possible structures within the contents of the canonical writings and for the identification of the most convincing arguments to support the unity of the Holy Scripture. In this research context, the author proposes an eschatological reading of the canonical writings of the Old Testament, based on its macrostructural analysis. In the centre of the Old Testament discourse read in such a manner stands the Messiah–Christ, which justifies the need for Christians to read the Old Testament’s revelation in a Christologic-eschatological key.
