Second Baruch

And he answered and said to me: "Hear, Baruch, this word,

and write in the memory of your heart all that you learn.

For the earth will surely return the dead then,

which it receives

now to preserve them,

without anything

changing

in their form,

but as it received them, so it will return them,

and as

I handed

them over to it,

so also it will raise them.

For then it will be necessary to show to those who live

that the dead have come to life and that those who had departed have returned.

And it will happen that when they have recognized one another, those who now know each other,

then the judgment will grow strong,

and those things which were previously spoken will come."
