The document concludes with a vision of the Lord coming upon the clouds of heaven, and all the saints with him. The resurrection is of the dead, ?e????, though “not of all the dead.” Not a word is said of any second resurrection. If there is to be a second resurrections, it is only implied. Of course, no interval is indicated. Premillennarianism, accordingly, is not directly, perhaps not even indirectly, taught. Following the lead of the New Testament, as in Matt. xxiv. 31, and in 1 Thess. iv. 13-18, our document may, after all, only be emphasizing the resurrection of the righteous. –36– Errors In The Codex Corrected By Bryennios.
