However, a tradition of Christian prophetic interpretation known as "typology," which regards events of the Old Testament as prophetic foreshadowings of future events in salvation history, has fueled the speculations of millennial mathematicians for centuries, encouraging believers to peg their apocalyptic predictions of the return of Jesus to Jewish feast days such as Rosh Hashanah.

 Eschatology Summary
It is doubtful whether eschatology in the second sense is to be found anywhere outside Zoroastrianism and Judaism—together with the religious and philosophical systems that have drawn inspiration from them: Mithraism from the first, Christianity and Islam, and Western thought in general, from the second.
Even orthodox Christian Fathers (such as Irenaeus), as well as Gnostics and Montanists, were millenarians.
The historical origins of Islamic eschatological belief are also closely related to the Christian, in that Muhammad taught his companions, as Jesus taught his disciples, that some of them would see the end of all things within their lifetimes.
