Ascension of Isaiah 1

Visio Isaiae

And it came to pass in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of Hezekiah, king of Judah, who sent to call Manasseh, his son.

2And he sent to call him in the presence of Isaiah, son of Amoz, the Prophet, to reveal to him the words of righteousness.

3Concerning the eternal judgments and concerning the torments of Gehenna, and concerning the prince of this world and his angels.

4And he delivered to Manasseh the writings concerning the judgment of the angels, the destruction of this world, and the ascension of the Beloved.

5And Isaiah spoke to King Hezekiah: 'As God lives, your son Manasseh will despise all these words.'

6'And Samael Malkira will serve Manasseh; and he will become the disciple of Belial.'

7Upon hearing these words Hezekiah wept bitterly and tore his garments.
