to heaven in the sight of his disciples, while they were looking at him, and a cloud
received him and he was hidden from their eyes, according to the witness of
Scripture. And we confess that he is going to come from heaven with the power and
glory of his angels and bring about resurrection for all the race of men, and judgment
and trial for all rational (beings), as the angels said to the apostles at the moment of his
ascension, “This Jesus who is taken up from you to heaven shall so come as you have
seen him ascending to heaven.” By this they clearly taught us that also the qnoma of
this manhood was taken up to heaven , and it was not destroyed or changed, but was
preserved in an inseparable union with his Godhead in the exalted glory in which he is
going to appear in his final revelation from heaven, to the shame of his crucifiers, and
to the rejoicing and boast of his faithful, to whom, and to whose Father, and to the Holy
Spirit (belong) glory and honor for ever. (“Synod” of AD 612)
