About this work

Chapter 9 (25).

And setting out to paradise, He took hold of our forefather

‹ Chapter 8 Chapter 10 ›

Adam

by

the

hand

,

and

delivered

him

,

and

all

the

just

,

to

the

archangel

Michael

.

And

as

they

were

going

into

the

door

of

paradise

,

there

met

them

two

old

men

,

to

whom

the

holy

fathers

said

:

Who

are

you

,

who

have

not

seen

death

,

and

have

not

come

down

into

Hades

,

but

who

dwell

in

paradise

in

your

bodies

and

your

souls

?

One

of

them

answered

,

and

said

:

I

am

Enoch

,

who

was

well

-

pleasing

to

God

,

and

who

was

translated

hither

by

Him

;

and

this

is

Helias

the

Thesbite

;

and

we

are

also

to

live

until

the

end

of

the

world

;

and

then

we

are

to

be

sent

by

God

to

withstand

Antichrist

,

and

to

be

slain

by

him

,

and

after

three

days

to

rise

again

,

and

to

be

snatched

up

in

clouds

to

meet

the

Lord

.
