To this end, we raise a critic interpretation of the classical translations of the text and try to verify that the Saint John’s eschatology does not meet a chronological emplacement but a spatial one. Throughout this work we examine the use of prepositions in the Prologue and the First Letter in order to remark the signifying and existential function of the Incarnation Starting from this hypothesis we aim to defend that the Prologue to the Gospel of John states a foundational, albeit chronologically distant, precedent of one of the most relevant philosophical frameworks in the 20th century continental philosophy: the hermeneutics of existence.
