Summary/Abstract: All his prophetic activity as well as an important part of his book concerns the holy city. The continuators of his ideas and his prophetic tradition (on the part attributed to Tritoeasea) represent the same zeol. On returning from Babylonian servitude, the idea of ancient splendor was still alive despite several difficulties. It was understood as "a new creation" defined again by Deuteroésaďe. The unknown prophet presents it as a continuation of consolation in the framework of true peace. He does not forget the idea of the general assembly of all the people in joy despite the skepticism of some brothers. The omens of consolation and those concerning punishment (according to apocalyptic tradition) increase the dramatic tension. The description of the pogrom, full of apocalyptic scenes, ends the omen of Tritoeasea.
