Chapter 7 ⇦
Christ promises glory unto John—Abbaton shall appear to him as a gentle man—John shall die and rise again to judge the world—The final judgment is described—The wicked lament—Satan and Antichrist are cast into the Lake of Fire—The apostles are charged to preach all these things.
1 And as for thee, O My beloved John, thou shalt not die until the thrones have been prepared on the day of the Resurrection.
2 For the thrones of glory shall come down from heaven, and ye shall sit upon them, and I will sit in your midst.
3 All the saints shall see the honor which I will pay unto thee, O My beloved John.
4 I will command Abbaton, the Angel of Death, to come unto thee on that day, and he shall not be in any form that will terrify thee.
5 But he shall come unto thee in the form of a gentle man, with a face like unto that of Michael, and he shall take away thy soul and bring it unto Me.
6 Thy body shall not be in the tomb for ever, neither shall the earth rest upon it for ever.
7 All the saints shall marvel at thee because that shalt not be judged until thou judgest them.
8 Thou shalt be dead for three and a half hours, lying upon thy throne, and all creation shall see thee.
9 I will make thy soul to return to thy body, and thou shalt rise up and array thyself in apparel of glory, like unto that of one who hath stood up in the marriage chamber.
10 Ye shall judge the world, according to what I have ordained for you, and ye shall sit upon thrones and shall judge the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
11 And I said with My mouth unto Paul, We shall judge the angels before we come to the beings of the earth.
12 For on that day when everything shall stand in fear and trembling, I shall say: Let them be separated from another, even as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, the righteous on the right hand, and the sinners on the left, and not one shall give his voice until he who is chief in his day shall command him.
13 I shall look upon all My clay, and when I see that he is going to destruction I shall cry out to My Father, saying: My Father, what profit is there in My Blood if he goeth to destruction?
14 And straightway the voice of My Father shall come unto Me from the seventh heaven, and none shall hear it except Myself, for I and My Father are one, saying: Power belongeth unto Thee, O My Son, to do whatsoever Thou pleaseth with Thy clay.
15 And in that day I shall say: I rejoice because Thou didst cleave My covering, and didst gird me about with joy, and My right hand shall bless Thee because I am without sorrow.
16 I shall say unto you in that day, O My holy Apostles, and all My saints, whether ye be angels or archangels, or whether ye be prophets or righteous, and especially My Mother, and My chief Archangels Michael and Gabriel, I speak unto thee, saying:
17 No man who shall celebrate thy commemoration upon earth, or shall give a loaf of bread in thy name shall go to destruction.
18 And straightway all the saints shall rush forwards towards them, and each one shall seize upon those that belong to him.
19 All those who have shewn love to you upon earth shall be brought back to the others who are on the right hand.
20 Then shall the others cry out with loud wailings, and tears, and with suffering and sorrow of the heart, saying: O Lord the Merciful One, the son of the Merciful One, shew mercy upon us.
21 Thereupon straightway shall the Son of God shed tears over them, and he shall say unto them, My word remaineth with My Father.
22 And straightway My Father shall shut the door of heaven, and go His way.
23 And I shall say unto them straightway, My Father doth not desire to shew mercy upon you.
24 And they shall cry out the more, saying: Have mercy upon us for the Devil would not permit us to repent! If we had known that these things were to be, we should have repented even unto the shedding of blood.
25 And forthwith I shall utter curses upon Satan that day, and I will make them to seize him, and to fetter him in the bonds which cannot be broken.
26 And I will curse that lying prophet who hath led astray all the nations, and Antichrist, the son of perdition, and they shall cast them into the Lake of Fire which burneth with fire and sulphur, together with all those who have been their followers in the world, and they shall never enjoy repose, day or night.
27 Their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched.
28 Now therefore, O My holy Apostles, behold I have shewn you everything of which ye asked of me to explain, and how Adam transgressed until death came into the world, and how Abbaton, the Angel of Death, became king over all created things.
29 And now ye shall proclaim the day of his commemoration, so that the sons of men may be afraid and repent.
30 Speak ye unto all mankind, saying: Whosoever doeth that which is good shall rise in the resurrection... 
... life.
31 And whosoever shall do that which is evil shall rise in the resurrection to judgement.
32 Then the Apostles worshiped the Savior, saying: Our Lord and our God! Thou hast filled us with blessings, and Thou hast never disappointed us in any way, in answering the questions which we have asked of Thee.
33 And the Savior kissed them, and the angels bore Him up into heaven whilst they followed Him with their gaze.
34 And the Apostles worshiped him and each one of them departed to preach what the Lord had commanded them.
