The Apocalypse of Adam is a significant Gnostic religious text from the Nag Hammadi library, presented as revelations Adam gives to his son Seth, detailing a Gnostic interpretation of creation, the fall, and future apocalypse, featuring a flawed creator (Sakla) and a coming "illuminator," and it's notable for its pre-Christian themes, suggesting early Jewish Gnosticism or a transitional phase.
Adam explains to Seth how he and Eve lost their divine glory after being created by the lesser god Sakla (Demiurge) and were awakened by divine figures, revealing true knowledge and prophecies about future evils (like the Flood) and the eventual arrival of the true Illuminator.
