Ascension of Isaiah

Ascension of Isaiah

In the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah,

Isaiah the prophet saw a vision of what was to come.

He said:

“Woe to those who join themselves to the darkness.

For they shall fall with the rulers of this world.”

He warned of the corruption in Jerusalem:

“Their altars are defiled.

Their hearts are far from the Holy One.”

And he said to the people:

“A time is coming when the Light will visit the world —

but the rulers will not receive Him.”

King Hezekiah honored Isaiah

and sought his words.

But after the king’s death,

his son Manasseh rose in pride and rebellion.

Manasseh mocked the prophets.

He worshiped idols and spilled innocent blood.

He summoned Isaiah and said:

“Your visions trouble the people.

You must be silenced.”

Isaiah was taken by force.

His mouth was bound,

and he was condemned by false witnesses.

They led him into the forest

and sawed him in two with a wooden blade.

But as the blade struck,

Isaiah’s spirit was lifted to the heavens,

and he saw what no man had yet seen.

After his death,

Isaiah was raised by the Breath of the Most High

and taken through the seven firmaments.

Each level was brighter than the one before.

He saw angels, messengers, and mighty ones —

some rejoicing, others silent.

In the highest place,

he saw the Great Glory

and the Beloved,

who would one day descend to earth.

He was told:

“You shall see how the Lord of Light

will descend in humility

through each heaven,

take on flesh,

be born of a woman,

and be rejected by those He created.”

Isaiah watched as the Anointed One

descended from heaven to heaven,

each time taking the form of the beings there —

so as not to be recognized.

He came to the world in quietness and light,

born through Mary,

conceived by the Set-Apart Breath.

He grew in wisdom.

He walked in mercy.

He healed the sick.

He taught the truth.

But the rulers hated Him.

He was delivered to death,

not because of weakness,

but to break the power of fear.

They killed Him —

but they did not know

that He would rise.

Isaiah saw:

“The tomb was empty.

The Beloved returned through the heavens —

not as a stranger,

but in glory.”

He will come again.

But this time not in silence —

He will come with light,

with fire,

with truth.

He will judge the rulers who devoured the poor.

He will raise the humble.

He will restore the broken.

And His reign will have no end.

The vision ended,

and Isaiah’s soul returned to the resting place.

But a voice said:

“Write these things

for the wise among the people.

For they will understand.”

And so the scroll was sealed —

but now unsealed for those with ears to hear.
