Apocalypse of Baruch
The Son Of Neriah
“Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.” Jer 36:4
“And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.”
Jer 32:12
“But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.” Jer 43:3
The Vision of Paul
"But I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord: I know a man in Christ fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I know not; or out of the body, I know not, God knoweth) snatched up in this manner to the third heaven: and I know such a man, whether in the body or out of the body I know not, God knoweth; how that he was snatched up into Paradise and heard secret words which it is not lawful for men to speak; on behalf of such a one will I glory; but on mine own behalf I will not glory, save in my infirmities."
Corinthians 12:1-5
The Book of Jubilees
"THIS is the history of the division of the days of the Torah and of the testimony, of the events of the years, of their (year) weeks, festivals of the covenant, of their Shabbats, of their Jubilees throughout all the years of the world, as (YAHUAH) spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai when he went up to receive the tables of the Torah and of the commandment,"
The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs
Fragments of the Testaments of the Patriarchs were found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, thus validating these writing.
“Understand, my children, that in the last times your sons will abandon sincerity and align themselves with insatiable desire. Forsaking guilelessness, they will ally themselves with villainy. 2 Abandoning the commands of the Lord, they will ally themselves with Beliar/Satan...They will be scattered among the nations and enslaved by their enemies. 3 Tell these things to your children, therefore, so that even though they might sin, they may speedily return to the Lord, 4 Because he is merciful: He will set them free and take them back to their land.” Test. of Issachar 6:1-4
The Assumption of Moses
In the Book, or the Epistle of the Prophet Jude we read (ver.9): "Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing judgment, but said, The Lord rebuke thee..."
This Book is believed to be the source from which Jude took this direct quotation.
The Ascension of Isaiah
"The Going forth of the Beloved from the seventh heaven had been made known, and His transformation and His descent and the likeness into which He should be transformed (that is) the likeness of man,... and the coming of His twelve disciples, and the teaching, and that He should before the sabbath be crucified upon the tree, and should be crucified together with wicked men, and that He should be buried in the sepulchre..." (ch 3:13)
