Apocalypse of Baruch

|
The Apocalypse of Baruch is a Jewish apocryphal or pseudepigraphical text written in the late 1st century CE, after the fall of Jerusalem to the Romans in 70 CE, which seemed to the author to signify the imminent end of the world (the apocalypse). It is not part of the canon of either the Jewish or most Christian Bibles but is part of the Peshitta. The Apocalypse exists in two quite different versions, one in Syriac and one in Greek. It is frequently republished and cited by modern apocalyptic Christian sects.
