The dependence of this book on Enoch is still more evident
if we may regard it as proceeding from one author ; for it re-
produces in the main the conceptions of En. xci-civ save that
it expects a Messiah. Thus in this Apocalypse of Baruch the
Messianic Kingdom is only of temporary duration. The
Messiah reigns till sin is at an end lxxiv. 2, 3. During his
reign the earth yields 10,000 fold, and there are no pre-
mature deaths. At the close of this period the Messiah
returns to heaven and the resurrection ensues

righteous are then transformed and made like the angels
