Abstract

Kebo-keboan" tradition has been widely discussed in various journals nowadays. But no one has studied the gospel bridge from Christian apocalyptic literature with "kebo-keboan" tradition. The author asked, can the apocalyptic concept in Revelation 22:1-5 be a gospel bridge for the "kebo-keboan" tradition? The author uses Paul Hiebert's critical contextualization concept as a research methodology. This methodological procedure consist of cultural analysis, Bible analysis, critical responses, and making new contextualization practices. From the cultural and Bible analysis, the author compares the vision receiver, apocalyptic environment, vision, and trancendent person. The author gives two critical response. The trancendent person replaced by God and the Lamb. The vision receiver, apocalyptic environment, and the Using community's vision is acceptable. The author proposes three things for the new contextualization practice. The sowing seeds practice can be seen as a consumnation from God through tree and water of life. Offerings can be interpreted as an expression of gratitude for God as He lifted the curse. Then the dependence and eminence of Dewi Sri are diverted to God. In conclusion, the writer proves that the apocalyptic concept in Revelation 22:1-5 can be a gospel bridge for the "kebo-keboan" tradition.
