Sumario:This article analyzes a protestant millenarian iconography popularly known as The divine plan through the centuries. After all, what history is “reported” within the limits of its frame? In order to deal with this issue, I undertake an anthropological reading of structuralist inspiration, whose objective is to demonstrate that the oikonomia of The divine plan operates as a “machine to suppress time” with a predilection for an urgency of the “end of times”. The central argument therefore consists in demonstrating that the mythical scheme of this millenarian iconography can be read as a specific philosophy of history, that is, a teleological system speculative and variable in different contexts.
