And Isaiah related his vision to the prophets who were with him.
2I saw an angel radiant with glory; a glory and power so great that it is impossible for me to describe.
3I said: 'Who are you? And by which path will you make me ascend to heaven?'
4He answered me: 'After having elevated you, you will understand who I am.'
5And he made me ascend to the firmament, and I saw Samael and his powers; there was the kingdom of slaughter and the works of Satan.
6And he made me ascend to the first heaven, where I saw angels on the right and on the left, and a throne in the middle.
7And he made me ascend to the second and third heaven, each time with greater glory.
