A shift in the concept of time.

Threads about disarrangement and what is prophecy lead me to ask is the usp of xianity a different understanding of time?
We are used to this with relativity and quantum phenomena, but why should not the ancients have invented variants on the understanding of time?
The changes may track back to Cyrus and Darius and extend into future ideas like the once and future king.
When and where was the idea of the last judgement and end times invented?
The Xian stories then become stories about the meaning of time. Resurrection is a classic example of this - this religion reverses time - death, where is thy sting?
