Mission as an Apocalyptic Event: Reflections on Luke 10:18 and Mark 13:10. Bird, M. F. Evangelical Quarterly, 76(2):117--134, 2004.
abstract   bibtex   
The essay contends that 'apocalyptic' and 'mission' are not two unrelated entities but are integrated together in the mission of Jesus which expresse the apocalyptic nature of mission. Two passages are examined to demonstrate this. In Lk. 10:18 Jesus sees the defeat of Satan as being linked to the mission of the disciples. Conversely, in Mk. 13:10 the proclamation of the gospel to the nations amidst the tribulation is the mean by which apocalyptic salvation is realized. The essay concludes that mission is an apocalyptic event and that a proper biblical understanding of mission must recognize this facet of its character.
