==Summary==The Didache(pronounced /ˈdɪdəkiː/; Koine Greek: [[Greek:Διδαχή|Διδαχή]], Didachē "Teaching";(Modern Greek [[Greek:ðiðaˈxi|ðiðaˈxi]]) is the common name of a brief early [[Christian]] treatise (dated by most scholars to the late first/early second century). “The Didache of [[the Twelve Apostles]]” had been written and widely disseminated by about [[100 A.D.]], and became increasingly important in the second and third [[Christian]] centuries. It is an anonymous work not belonging to any single individual, and a pastoral manual "that reveals more about how [[Jewish|Judaism]]-[[Christians]] saw themselves and how they adapted their [[Judaism]] for gentiles than any other book in the Christian [[Scriptures]]." The text, parts of which may have constituted the first written catechism, has three main sections dealing with [[Christian]] lessons, rituals such as [[baptism]] and [[eucharist]], and [[Church ]]organization. It was considered by some of the [[Church Fathers]] as part of the [[New Testament]] but rejected as spurious or [[non-canonical]] by others] eventually not accepted into the [[New Testament]] canon with the exception of the [[Ethiopian Orthodox Church]] "broader canon" which includes the Didascalia which is based on the Didache. The [[Catholic Church]] has accepted it as part of the collection of [[Apostolic Fathers]]. <div align="left">__TOC__</div> {{rtoc}}

==Chapter One==
And then the signs of truth shall be revealed. First, a sign spread out in heaven; then a sign of the sound of a trumpet; and third, the resurrection of the dead, but not all of the dead. But as it was said, "the Lord shall come and all His Holy Ones with Him."Then the world shall see the Lord coming in the clouds of heaven."
