II Baruch 30

Syriac Apocalypse

And it will come to pass after these things, when the time of the advent of the Messiah is fulfilled, that He will return in glory, then all who have fallen asleep in hope of Him shall rise again.

2And it will come to pass at that time that the treasuries will be opened in which is preserved the number of the souls of the righteous, and they will come forth, and a multitude of souls will be seen together in one assemblage of one thought, and the first shall rejoice and the last will not be grieved.

3For he knows that the time has come of which it is said, that it is the consummation of the times.

4But the souls of the wicked, when they behold all these things, shall then waste away the more.

5For they will know that their torment has come and their perdition has arrived."
