Apocalypse of Thomas 5

Revelation of Thomas

The spirits and souls of the saints will come out of Paradise and will come to the whole earth.

2Each one will go to its own body where it was placed; and each one of them will say: 'Here lies my body.'

3When the great voice of these spirits is heard there will be an earthquake everywhere.

4Then each spirit will return to its own vessel and the bodies of the sleeping saints will awaken.

5Then they will put on the garment of eternal life: the garment of the cloud of light that has never been seen in this world.

6They will be carried through the air in a cloud of light, and rejoicing they will go with me to the heavens.

7They will remain in the light and honor of my Father. There will be great joy for them in the presence of my Father.
