Apocalypse of Thomas 4

Revelation of Thomas

In the fourth hour of the sixth day the firmament of heaven will split from east to west.

2The angels of heaven will peer at the earth through the rifts of the heavens.

3All men who are on earth will see the angelic host looking from Heaven.

4Then all men will flee to the tombs and hide from the righteous angels.

5They will say: 'Oh, that the earth might open and swallow us.'

6Then they will see me descending from above in the light of my Father with the power and honor of the holy angels.

7The floodgates of fire of Paradise will be opened, for Paradise is surrounded by eternal fire.
