Summary/Abstract: The paper analyses apocalyptic eschatological manifestations in the writings of Jan Milíč of Kroměříž, Matthew of Janow, and Jan Hus with regard to their emphasis on the role of preachers and persons working toward renewal at a time full of the activity of the Antichrist before the end of the world. As concerns Milíč and Janow, it also focuses on their elaboration of the medieval exegetic concept of preachers "in spiritu Enoch et Helie", and as concerns Hus, it follows the line of preceding authors and analyses his concept of preaching as such and resistance to ecclesiastical authority.
