bavptisma, 3)): (cf. the commentaries at the passage (especially Holtzmann, where see, p. 172f for references); Weiss, Biblical Theol. especially sections 84, 108; cf. Suicer, Thesaurus, under the word). Commonly, however, the word denotes the restoration of a thing to its pristine state, its renovation, as the renewal or restoration of life after death, Philo leg. ad Gaium sec. 41; de cherub. sec. 32; (de poster. Cain. sec. 36); Long. past. 3, 4 (2) (

Gataker ad loc.); Zeller, Philos. d. Griech. iii, p. 138); that signal and glorios change of all things (in heaven and earth) "for the better, that restoration of the primal and perfect condition of things which existed before the fall of our first parents," which the Jews looked for in connection with the advent of the Messiah, and which the primitive Christians expected in connection with the visible return of Jesus from heaven: (where the Syriac correctly [?] [?], in the new age or world); cf. Bertholdt, Christologia Judaeorum, p. 214f; Gfr?rer, Jahrhundert des Heils, ii., p. 272ff; (Sch?rer, Neutest. Zeitgesch. sec. 29, 9; Weber, Altsynagog. Pal?st. Theol. sec. 89).
