	JewishEncyclopedia.com - BARUCH, APOCALYPSE OF (Syriac):
		After fasting seven days, Baruch receives a revelation concerning the future punishment of the heathen and of all godless persons; and he is told that he will live until the consummation of the time, that he may bear witness in the hour of their punishment against those nations who now prosper.
		Baruch, while sitting in the ruins of the Temple lamenting, receives a new revelation in the form of the following vision: In his sleep he sees a wood surrounded by rocks and crags, and, opposite the wood, a growing vine, beneath which flows a spring.
		The views of the Apocalypse on the relations of sin and death, of the first man and his descendants, seem to be contradictory: and for this reason some scholars consider the Apocalypse to be the work of more than one author.

	JewishEncyclopedia.com - BARUCH, APOCALYPSE OF (Greek):
		In the fifth heaven Baruch meets Michael, prince of the angels and keeper of the celestial keys, who is descending to receive the prayers of men and to carry a report of their virtues to God.
		Now, if the Greek Apocalypse was complementary to the Syriac, the author of the former would not have failed to join his story of Baruch's passage through heaven to this account of his last act on earth.
		The phenix, referred to in this Apocalypse as the companion of the sun, and the wonderful description of it, are probably of Indian origin; for Indian mythology relates much that is similar concerning the bird Garuda, the companion of the sun-god Vishnu ("Mahabharata Adi Parva," xvi.-xxxiv.; compare James, "The Apocalypse of Baruch, "Introduction, pp.

	2 Baruch
		Baruch is informed of the judgments which will come over the Gentiles and of the glory of the world to come, which is to exist especially for the righteous.
		Baruch asks who will share in the glory to come and is told, 'Those that believe.' The six 'fl waters' described represent six evil periods in world history, and the 'six clear waters' denote the number of good periods.
		This argument does not rule out R. Charles' theory: he views the three apocalypses 27-30:1; 36-40; 53-74 as earlier sections, written before A.D. It still remains a matter of debate, however, in view of the many points of contact between the Apocalypse of Baruch and IV Ezra, whether the former or the latter is earlier.

		Some detailed study of the ending of 3 Baruch will be necessary, as the majority of scholars believe the work to be lacking some original ending which would put it more in line with other Judaeo-Christian works of around the same time.
		There is disagreement between scholars on the originality of the number of heavens, and on the integrity of the rather abrupt ending.
		Some argue that this is due to some of the original ending having been lost since the original writing; but others argue that the ending is perfectly coherent, in that 3 Baruch is intended as a form of protest against the recognised apocalyptic cosmology of the Second Temple Period.

		This usage has its origin in the title given to the New Testament Apocalypse; which title was itself obtained, very naturally, from the opening words 'Aπōκάλυψις 'Iησōῦ Χριστōῦ (see above), in which the term "revelation" is of course used simply to describe the contents of the book, not as a literary designation.
