II Baruch 72

Syriac Apocalypse

"Hear now also regarding the bright lightning which is to come at the consummation after these black (waters): this is the word.

2After the signs have come, of which thou wast told before, when the nations become turbulent, and the time of My Messiah is come, He will both summon all the nations, and some of them He will spare, and some of them He will slay.

3These things therefore shall come upon the nations which are to be spared by Him.

4Every nation, which knows not Israel and has not trodden down the seed of Jacob, shall indeed be spared.

5And this because some out of every nation shall be subjected to thy people.

6But all those who have ruled over you, or have known you, shall be given up to the sword.
