Description

The Apocalypse of Adam was found in 1945 among the codices of the Nag Hammadi library (codex V) and is a Gnostic treatise written in Coptic. It does not necessarily have any connection with Christianity. Consequently, we wonder if it is really a text of Christian Gnosticism or an example of Jewish Gnosticism. It is one of the Setian texts.

Adam, in his 700th year of life, tells his son Seth how he obtained the knowledge of the eternal God Eve and that he and she are indeed more powerful than their supposed creator. But this knowledge was lost in autumn when the lower Creator - Demiurgh - separated them. Adam then tells how three mysterious strangers caused Seth's generation and the preservation of this knowledge. Adam then prophesies at length about the attempts of the Inferior Creator God to destroy mankind, among them the prophecy about the great flood and an attempt to destroy by fire, but that the great illuminator will come before the end. And when he comes, thirteen kingdoms will proclaim thirteen contrasting legends about his birth, but only the "generation without a king" will proclaim the truth.

In non-gnostic traditions, the beautiful words of Adam to Seth are found in "Conflict of Adam and Eve with Satan," "Life of Adam and Eve," and "Testament of Adam.
