two witnesses : Enoch and Elijah \ based on apocrypha

Post by sushi_chef »

"Let’s start with the Gospel of Nicodemus 20. Jesus is taking the first man, Adam, from hell to Paradise, and waiting for them in Paradise are Enoch and Elijah. The saints going to Paradise ask these two men who they are, since these two men had not been with them in hell. Enoch responds that they are Enoch and Elijah, both of whom were translated by God to Paradise. Enoch then says:

“Here we have hitherto been and have not tasted death, but are now about to return at the coming of Antichrist, being armed with divine signs and miracles, to engage with him in battle, and to be slain by him at Jerusalem, and to be taken up alive again into the clouds, after three days and a half” (translation from The Lost Books of the Bible and the Forgotten Books of Eden).

Those are things that the two witnesses do in Revelation 11.

In Apocalypse of Elijah 4, Enoch and Elijah come down and challenge the Antichrist after he has manifested himself at the Temple. They call him a stranger who is acting against heaven and earth. They say that he fell from heaven and they call him a devil. The Antichrist fights them in the marketplace for seven days and kills them. They rise again, and they challenge the Antichrist for deceiving the people of God, for whom the Antichrist did not suffer (whereas Jesus had suffered for them).
