II Baruch 50

Syriac Apocalypse

And He answered and said unto me: "Hear, Baruch, this word, and write in the remembrance of thy heart all that thou shalt learn.

2For the earth shall then assuredly restore the dead, which it now receives, in order to preserve them, making no change in their form, but as it has received, so shall it restore them, and as I delivered them unto it, so also shall it raise them.

3For then it will be necessary to show to the living that the dead have come to life again, and that those who had departed have returned (again).

4And it shall come to pass, when they have severally recognized those whom they now know, then judgement will grow strong, and those things which before were spoken of will come.
