Chapter 9 (25).

And the Lord, holding the hand of Adam, delivered

‹ Chapter 8 Chapter 10 ›

him

to

Michael

the

archangel

:

and

all

the

saints

followed

Michael

the

archangel

,

and

he

led

them

all

into

the

glorious

grace

of

paradise

.

And

there

met

them

two

men

,

ancient

of

days

.

The

saints

asked

them

:

Who

are

you

,

that

have

not

yet

been

dead

,

along

with

us

in

the

regions

below

,

and

have

been

placed

in

paradise

in

the

body

?

One

of

them

answered

,

and

said

:

I

am

Enoch

,

who

by

the

word

of

the

Lord

have

been

translated

hither

;

and

he

who

is

with

me

is

Elias

the

Thesbite

,

who

was

taken

up

by

a

fiery

chariot

.

Here

also

even

until

now

we

have

not

tasted

death

,

but

have

been

reserved

to

the

coming

of

Antichrist

,

by

divine

signs

and

wonders

to

do

battle

with

him

,

and

,

being

killed

by

him

in

Jerusalem

,

after

three

days

and

half

a

day

to

be

taken

up

alive

again

in

the

clouds

.
