[0:46] Speaker 1: It's no wonder that this book was excluded from many
[0:48] Speaker 1: Christian Bibles. Its mystical content and prophetic depth were seen
[0:53] Speaker 1: as too controversial by early church leaders. But why was
[0:57] Speaker 1: this book banned, and what secrets did they want to
[1:00] Speaker 1: keep hidden? Stay with us as we uncover Isaiah's journey
[1:05] Speaker 1: through the seven layers of heaven, his vision of angelic hierarchies,
[1:10] Speaker 1: and the divine battle between God's forces and Satan. By
[1:16] Speaker 1: the end of this video, you'll see why this book,

[1:59] Speaker 1: so be sure to explore the full series on Deep
[2:02] Speaker 1: Bible Stories. Now let's jump into the ascension of Isaiah,
[2:08] Speaker 1: a journey through heavenly realms, visions of angelic armies, and
[2:11] Speaker 1: prophecies that reveal the coming of the Messiah and the
[2:15] Speaker 1: final triumph of God's kingdom. Imagine being taken on a
[2:19] Speaker 1: journey through seven layers of heaven, each more glorious than
[2:23] Speaker 1: the last. That's exactly what happens in the ascension of Isaiah.
[2:28] Speaker 1: This book takes us beyond the earthly realm. giving us
[2:32] Speaker 1: a rare glimpse into the spiritual hierarchy of the universe,
[2:36] Speaker 1: where angels, archangels, and seraphim serve the Almighty God. Isaiah's
[2:41] Speaker 1: journey begins in the first heaven, where he encounters angels
[2:45] Speaker 1: who govern the stars, the sun, and the moon. These
[2:48] Speaker 1: celestial beings are tasked with ensuring the cosmic order, making
[2:53] Speaker 1: sure that the movements of the heavens follow God's divine plan.
[2:59] Speaker 1: The book of Genesis touches on this idea when God
[3:01] Speaker 1: creates the sun, moon, and stars as signs for seasons,
[3:06] Speaker 1: Genesis 1.14. But in the ascension of Isaiah, we see
[3:10] Speaker 1: heavenly beings actively guiding these celestial bodies. As Isaiah ascends higher,
[3:17] Speaker 1: moving through each heaven, the glory and majesty he encounters intensify.
[3:23] Speaker 1: In the second and third heavens, he sees more angelic hosts,
[3:28] Speaker 1: some of whom govern both the spiritual and physical realms.
[3:32] Speaker 1: These angels are messengers of God's will, much like the
[3:36] Speaker 1: ones we see throughout the Bible, such as the angel Gabriel,
[3:40] Speaker 1: who brings messages to Daniel and Mary in the canonical texts.
[3:44] Speaker 1: But it's when Isaiah reaches the fourth heaven that things
[3:48] Speaker 1: take a darker turn. Here, he witnesses the fallen angels,
[3:53] Speaker 1: those who rebelled against God and were cast out of
[3:56] Speaker 1: the higher realms. They are bound and waiting for the
[4:00] Speaker 1: final judgment. This glimpse into the cosmic battle between good
[4:04] Speaker 1: and evil aligns with the book of Enoch, where the Watchers,
[4:08] Speaker 1: a group of rebellious angels, are also imprisoned for defying
[4:13] Speaker 1: God's command. The ascension of Isaiah gives us a deeper
[4:17] Speaker 1: look into this spiritual warfare. reminding us of the ongoing
[4:21] Speaker 1: struggle between Satan and God's forces, something the Apostle Paul
[4:25] Speaker 1: refers to when he talks about the spiritual forces of
[4:29] Speaker 1: evil in the heavenly realms, Ephesians 6.12. In the fifth
[4:35] Speaker 1: and sixth heavens, Isaiah is overwhelmed by the sight of
[4:39] Speaker 1: pure and sinless angels, beings who have never descended to earth.
[4:44] Speaker 1: These realms are filled with praise and worship. where the
[4:48] Speaker 1: angels sing continually before the throne of God. Isaiah sees
[4:53] Speaker 1: archangels and angels of a higher order who serve in
[4:56] Speaker 1: the direct presence of God and execute his will without
[5:00] Speaker 1: ever being tainted by the struggles of the material world.
[5:03] Speaker 1: But it's in the seventh heaven that Isaiah reaches the
[5:07] Speaker 1: pinnacle of his journey. Here he witnesses the throne of God,
[5:12] Speaker 1: surrounded by the highest order of angels— the seraphim and cherubim,
[5:17] Speaker 1: who cry out, Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.
[5:22] Speaker 1: This image recalls Isaiah's vision in the canonical Bible, Isaiah 6.1-3,
[5:28] Speaker 1: where he sees the Lord sitting on a throne with
[5:30] Speaker 1: the seraphim surrounding him. The ascension of Isaiah expands on this,
[5:36] Speaker 1: offering even more vivid details about the heavenly court and
[5:40] Speaker 1: the radiance of God's glory. While in the seventh heaven,
[5:44] Speaker 1: Isaiah receives a prophecy about the coming of the Messiah.
[5:48] Speaker 1: In his vision, Isaiah sees the Son of God descend
[5:52] Speaker 1: from the highest heaven, passing through each of the seven layers.
[5:56] Speaker 1: As he moves closer to earth, he takes on the
[5:59] Speaker 1: appearance of a human, the very form in which he
[6:02] Speaker 1: would be born of a virgin and live among mankind.
[6:07] Speaker 1: This prophecy aligns with the New Testament teachings on the
[6:11] Speaker 1: incarnation of Christ. God becoming flesh to redeem humanity, John 1.14.
[6:19] Speaker 1: But the ascension of Isaiah gives us a mystical glimpse
[6:22] Speaker 1: of how that transformation takes place in the heavenly realms.
[6:26] Speaker 1: The Son of God is described as moving from the
[6:29] Speaker 1: pure light of the seventh heaven to the lower, darker realms,
[6:34] Speaker 1: where he would take on human form, face Satan's temptations,
[6:38] Speaker 1: and ultimately bring salvation to mankind. Isaiah sees that the
[6:45] Speaker 1: Messiah's descent is part of God's divine plan to defeat
[6:49] Speaker 1: Satan and the forces of darkness. This prophecy prefigures the
[6:54] Speaker 1: gospel story where Jesus, though fully divine, humbles himself to
[6:59] Speaker 1: become human, face suffering, and rise again in victory over death.
[7:05] Speaker 1: It's a cosmic battle that begins long before Christ's earthly
[7:08] Speaker 1: ministry and one that is revealed in vivid detail in
[7:12] Speaker 1: the ascension of Isaiah. Isaiah's ascent through the seven heavens
[7:16] Speaker 1: reveals a structure to the spiritual world that most of
[7:20] Speaker 1: us have never encountered before. The clear separation of each heaven,
[7:26] Speaker 1: the role of the angels, and the vision of the
[7:29] Speaker 1: Messiah descending from the heights of heaven all provide a
[7:33] Speaker 1: profound insight into into the spiritual realities beyond what we
[7:37] Speaker 1: see on earth. This heavenly hierarchy and cosmic conflict are
[7:42] Speaker 1: hinted at in several books of the Bible, but in
[7:45] Speaker 1: the ascension of Isaiah, these mysteries are laid bare in
[7:49] Speaker 1: ways that challenge our understanding of heaven, angels, and the
[7:53] Speaker 1: battle between good and evil. The book brings together ideas
[7:58] Speaker 1: from texts like Daniel, Revelation, and Enoch. but it pushes
[8:03] Speaker 1: the boundaries even further, showing us the heavenly realms where
[8:07] Speaker 1: God's plan for salvation unfolds. What do you think of
[8:11] Speaker 1: Isaiah's journey through the seven heavens? Do you believe there's
[8:15] Speaker 1: more to heaven and spiritual realms than what we see
[8:18] Speaker 1: in the canonical Bible? Let us know in the comments below.
[8:22] Speaker 1: And if you're fascinated by this heavenly journey, be sure
[8:27] Speaker 1: to like this video and share it with friends. We
[8:30] Speaker 1: could even dive deeper into the seven heavens in a
[8:34] Speaker 1: future video if that's something you'd love to explore more.
[8:39] Speaker 1: As Isaiah ascended to the fourth heaven, he witnessed a
[8:42] Speaker 1: dark and sobering reality. The fallen angels who had rebelled
[8:48] Speaker 1: against God now bound and awaiting their final judgment. These angels,
[8:53] Speaker 1: led by Satan, had once been part of the divine
[8:56] Speaker 1: order but chose to defy God's authority. Now they are
[9:00] Speaker 1: held in chains, living reminders of the consequences of rebellion.
[9:05] Speaker 1: This idea of fallen angels is something we see across
[9:09] Speaker 1: various banned books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible. The book
[9:14] Speaker 1: of Enoch, for example, delves into the story of the Watchers,
[9:18] Speaker 1: angels who descended to earth, mated with human women, and
[9:22] Speaker 1: created the Nephilim, leading to God's judgment in the form
[9:26] Speaker 1: of the Great Flood. Similarly, the ascension of Isaiah emphasizes
[9:32] Speaker 1: that these angels, along with Satan, will face their ultimate
[9:36] Speaker 1: defeat when God's plan comes to completion. Satan's rebellion is
[9:42] Speaker 1: central to this cosmic struggle. According to the ascension of Isaiah...
[9:47] Speaker 1: Satan was cast out of the higher heavens because of
[9:51] Speaker 1: his desire to exalt himself above God, much like the
[9:55] Speaker 1: depiction we see in Isaiah 14, 12-15, where Lucifer said,
[10:00] Speaker 1: is described as having fallen from heaven due to his pride.
[10:05] Speaker 1: This battle for power and authority is what drives Satan's
[10:09] Speaker 1: ongoing efforts to disrupt God's plan of salvation. Isaiah's vision
[10:15] Speaker 1: highlights that Satan and his followers are not just active
[10:18] Speaker 1: on earth— they but they operate within the spiritual realms, constantly
[10:23] Speaker 1: attempting to hinder God's purposes. This aligns with the New
[10:27] Speaker 1: Testament's depiction of spiritual warfare in Ephesians 6.12, where the
[10:33] Speaker 1: Apostle Paul warns that we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
[10:38] Speaker 1: but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers
[10:43] Speaker 1: of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of
[10:47] Speaker 1: evil in the heavenly realms. Throughout Isaiah's journey, he encounters
[10:53] Speaker 1: various orders of angels, each with specific roles in the
[10:56] Speaker 1: heavenly hierarchy. As he moves through the heavens, he sees
[11:01] Speaker 1: the archangels, Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, and Uriel, who lead the
[11:07] Speaker 1: charge against Satan's forces. These angels are depicted as warriors,
[11:12] Speaker 1: standing guard against the influence of Satan and his demons,
[11:16] Speaker 1: ensuring that God's will prevails in the universe. In 1 Enoch,
[11:20] Speaker 1: Michael is similarly portrayed as a key figure in the
[11:24] Speaker 1: war against evil, and the ascension of Isaiah strengthens this
[11:29] Speaker 1: idea of archangels as guardians and enforcers of God's justice.
[11:35] Speaker 1: Michael is especially important in both texts as the angel
[11:39] Speaker 1: who battles Satan and will eventually cast him down in
[11:42] Speaker 1: the final judgment. This echoes the same imagery we see
[11:46] Speaker 1: in the book of Daniel, Daniel 10.13.21, and Revelation, Revelation 12.7,
[11:53] Speaker 1: where Michael and his angels wage war against the powers
[11:57] Speaker 1: of darkness. But beyond the archangels, Isaiah also witnesses the
[12:03] Speaker 1: lower-ranking angels, who are responsible for governing the stars, planets,
[12:07] Speaker 1: and even elements of nature. These celestial beings work tirelessly
[12:12] Speaker 1: to keep the cosmic order, preventing the chaos that Satan
[12:16] Speaker 1: and his fallen angels seek to unleash on both heaven
[12:19] Speaker 1: and earth. Isaiah's vision of these angels reinforces the idea
[12:25] Speaker 1: that God's forces are constantly at work, maintaining the harmony
[12:29] Speaker 1: of creation and pushing back against the forces of darkness.
[12:33] Speaker 1: One of the most striking elements of the ascension of
[12:36] Speaker 1: Isaiah is the prophecy of Satan's defeat. As Isaiah ascends
[12:42] Speaker 1: to the seventh heaven, he is given a glimpse of
[12:45] Speaker 1: the final battle, where the Son of God descends from
[12:48] Speaker 1: the highest heaven to earth, ultimately defeating Satan and his forces.
[12:54] Speaker 1: This victory is not just a physical triumph, but a
[12:58] Speaker 1: spiritual one, marking the end of Satan's influence over humanity.
[13:04] Speaker 1: This vision prefigures the gospel message of Jesus Christ, who
[13:08] Speaker 1: came to earth to destroy the works of the devil,
[13:11] Speaker 1: 1 John 3.8. The ascension of Isaiah connects this cosmic
[13:16] Speaker 1: conflict with the incarnation of Christ, showing that the birth
[13:20] Speaker 1: of the Messiah was part of a much larger divine
[13:23] Speaker 1: plan to reclaim both heaven and earth from the powers
[13:27] Speaker 1: of darkness. It's a battle that begins in the heavenly
[13:31] Speaker 1: realms and culminates with Christ's death and resurrection, which seals
[13:36] Speaker 1: Satan's fate. In this text, the Messiah's descent through the
[13:41] Speaker 1: seven heavens is not only a sign of his humility,
[13:44] Speaker 1: but also a direct challenge to Satan's claim over the
[13:49] Speaker 1: lower realms. As he descends, the angelic hosts sing praises.
[13:55] Speaker 1: while Satan and his demons tremble in fear, knowing that
[13:58] Speaker 1: their time is short. This vivid depiction of the cosmic
[14:02] Speaker 1: battle echoes the final showdown described in Revelation, where Christ
[14:07] Speaker 1: returns in glory to judge the living and the dead,
[14:10] Speaker 1: casting Satan into the lake of fire. Revelation 20 verse 10.
[14:16] Speaker 1: The ascension of Isaiah offers a dramatic and vivid portrayal
[14:19] Speaker 1: of the cosmic struggle that mirrors the teachings of the
[14:23] Speaker 1: canonical Bible. It reminds us that while we may not
[14:26] Speaker 1: see this battle unfolding with our physical eyes, the spiritual
[14:30] Speaker 1: warfare is very real. Isaiah's vision reveals that this battle
[14:36] Speaker 1: has been raging since the dawn of creation, with Satan
[14:39] Speaker 1: attempting to derail God's plan for humanity at every turn.
[14:43] Speaker 1: But it also reminds us that God's victory is assured.
[14:47] Speaker 1: He has sent his Son to defeat the powers of darkness,
[14:51] Speaker 1: and the forces of goodwill ultimately prevail. For believers, this
[14:56] Speaker 1: story serves as a powerful reminder that we are part
[14:59] Speaker 1: of a much larger spiritual conflict. Every day, our actions,
[15:04] Speaker 1: our faith, and our prayers are part of this cosmic battle.
[15:08] Speaker 1: Just as Isaiah witnessed the angels at war in the heavens,
[15:12] Speaker 1: we are called to put on the armor of God
[15:14] Speaker 1: and stand firm in our faith. Ephesians 6.13 The ascension
[15:21] Speaker 1: of Isaiah gives us a powerful glimpse into this unseen world,
[15:25] Speaker 1: showing that the forces of good and evil are constantly
[15:28] Speaker 1: at odds, and our role is to stay faithful and
[15:32] Speaker 1: trust in God's ultimate victory. Isaiah's vision of the Messiah's
[15:36] Speaker 1: descent is breathtaking in both its detail and meaning. He
[15:41] Speaker 1: sees the Son of God surrounded by seraphim and cherubim,
[15:46] Speaker 1: seated in glory upon His heavenly throne in the seventh heaven.
[15:50] Speaker 1: But instead of remaining in the celestial realms, the Messiah
[15:54] Speaker 1: begins his journey downwards, moving through each of the seven
[15:58] Speaker 1: heavens and gradually taking on more human appearance with each level.
[16:03] Speaker 1: This part of Isaiah's vision is unique to the ascension
[16:07] Speaker 1: of Isaiah and provides a mystical dimension to the gospel story.
[16:12] Speaker 1: It portrays the incarnation as not merely an earthly event,
[16:17] Speaker 1: but as a divine descent from the heights of heaven
[16:20] Speaker 1: to the depths of the material world. The Son of
[16:24] Speaker 1: God leaves behind the radiance of His divinity to take
[16:28] Speaker 1: on flesh, a journey that culminates in His birth through
[16:31] Speaker 1: the Virgin Mary. This concept is reflected in the New Testament,
[16:36] Speaker 1: particularly in Philippians 2.6-8, where the Apostle Paul speaks of
[16:41] Speaker 1: Christ emptying Himself and taking on the form of a
[16:45] Speaker 1: Servant humbling himself to the point of death on the cross.
[16:50] Speaker 1: The ascension of Isaiah expands on this idea, showing the
[16:54] Speaker 1: stages of humility as the Messiah descends through the heavens,
[16:59] Speaker 1: each step a deliberate choice to bring salvation to humanity.
[17:04] Speaker 1: As the Messiah descends, something striking happens. Satan and his
[17:08] Speaker 1: angels tremble in fear. They recognize that the arrival of
[17:12] Speaker 1: the Son of God spells the end of their dominion
[17:16] Speaker 1: over the lower realms. This part of the vision emphasizes
[17:20] Speaker 1: the spiritual conflict that was raging even before the birth
[17:24] Speaker 1: of Christ. Satan, aware of the divine plan, knows that
[17:30] Speaker 1: the Messiah's mission will ultimately lead to his defeat and
[17:34] Speaker 1: the redemption of mankind. The fear of Satan is is
[17:39] Speaker 1: something that aligns with other biblical texts. In Matthew 8.29,
[17:44] Speaker 1: for example, we see the demons cry out to Jesus, saying,
[17:49] Speaker 1: What do you want with the Son of God? Have
[17:51] Speaker 1: you come here to torture us before the appointed time?
[17:54] Speaker 1: The demons' awareness of Jesus' power and authority parallels the
[17:59] Speaker 1: fear seen in the ascension of Isaiah, a recognition that
[18:03] Speaker 1: their time is short, and the Messiah's descent signals their
[18:07] Speaker 1: impending judgment. This section of the ascension of Isaiah also
[18:12] Speaker 1: offers a deeper understanding of the cosmic significance of Christ's incarnation.
[18:18] Speaker 1: It wasn't just a human event. It was a cosmic
[18:21] Speaker 1: turning point where Satan's grip on the world would be
[18:24] Speaker 1: broken and the plan for salvation would be set into motion.
[18:28] Speaker 1: The descent of the Messiah is depicted as a divine
[18:32] Speaker 1: invasion into enemy territory, with Satan powerless to stop what
[18:37] Speaker 1: is about to unfold. One of the most powerful aspects
[18:42] Speaker 1: of this prophecy is the way the Messiah's descent emphasizes
[18:46] Speaker 1: his humility. As he moves through each of the seven heavens,
[18:51] Speaker 1: he takes on more and more of humanity's limitations. By
[18:55] Speaker 1: the time he reaches earth, he is fully human, subject
[18:59] Speaker 1: to pain, suffering, and death. The ascension of Isaiah highlights
[19:05] Speaker 1: that the Messiah's suffering was part of a larger divine plan.
[19:10] Speaker 1: His humility was not a sign of weakness, but of strength,
[19:14] Speaker 1: a willingness to endure the greatest possible suffering in order
[19:18] Speaker 1: to bring salvation to humanity. This is the gospel message
[19:23] Speaker 1: at its core, echoed throughout the New Testament. The Son
[19:27] Speaker 1: of God, who, though He was eternal and divine, chose
[19:31] Speaker 1: to suffer and die so that humanity might be saved.
[19:35] Speaker 1: Hebrews 2.9 This profound vision of humility connects directly to
[19:40] Speaker 1: the passion of Christ. In the Gospels, we see Jesus humiliated, mocked,
[19:45] Speaker 1: and crucified, but through it all He remains the Lamb
[19:49] Speaker 1: of God who takes away the sin of the world,
[19:52] Speaker 1: John 1.29. Isaiah's prophecy in this banned text offers a
[19:58] Speaker 1: cosmic perspective on this suffering, showing that it was not
[20:02] Speaker 1: just a human event, but a divine act that reverberated
[20:06] Speaker 1: through the heavens. Isaiah's vision doesn't end with the Messiah's
[20:11] Speaker 1: descent into the world. After seeing the Son of God
[20:14] Speaker 1: take on human form and face suffering, Isaiah is shown
[20:18] Speaker 1: the ultimate victory, the Messiah's resurrection and his return to
[20:22] Speaker 1: the heavenly realms in triumph. Just as he descended through
[20:26] Speaker 1: the seven heavens, he now ascends, reclaiming his throne and
[20:31] Speaker 1: defeating Satan once and for all. This part of the
[20:34] Speaker 1: vision mirrors the New Testament account of Jesus' resurrection and ascension,
[20:40] Speaker 1: where he conquers sin, death, and Satan's power. In Revelation 1.18,
[20:46] Speaker 1: Christ says, I am the living one. I was dead,
[20:50] Speaker 1: and now look, I'm alive forever and ever. and I
[20:54] Speaker 1: hold the keys of death and Hades. The ascension of
[20:59] Speaker 1: Isaiah gives us a mystical glimpse of this victory, showing
[21:03] Speaker 1: that Christ's mission was not just to redeem humanity, but
[21:06] Speaker 1: to bring about the defeat of Satan and the restoration
[21:09] Speaker 1: of divine order in the heavens. Through this prophecy, we
[21:14] Speaker 1: are reminded of the hope of resurrection. The Messiah's triumph
[21:18] Speaker 1: over death is the promise that we too will be
[21:21] Speaker 1: raised with him, a theme that resonates throughout the Bible,
[21:24] Speaker 1: 1 Corinthians 15, 20-22. Isaiah's vision emphasizes that the victory
[21:33] Speaker 1: of Christ is cosmic, covering all realms, both heavenly and earthly.
[21:39] Speaker 1: The ascension of Isaiah gives us a rich and mystical
[21:42] Speaker 1: view of the Incarnation and the Messiah's mission. This prophecy
[21:47] Speaker 1: reveals not just the birth of Christ, but his descent
[21:50] Speaker 1: through the spiritual realms, the fear of Satan, and his
[21:54] Speaker 1: ultimate victory over death. It's a story that extends beyond earth,
[21:59] Speaker 1: showing that the battle for humanity's salvation was waged in
[22:03] Speaker 1: the heavens as well as on the cross. This deeper,
[22:07] Speaker 1: more mystical perspective offers an incredible insight into the cosmic
[22:12] Speaker 1: importance of the gospel message. The Son of God didn't
[22:15] Speaker 1: just come to save the world. He came to reclaim
[22:19] Speaker 1: the heavens, defeat Satan, and restore God's divine order. What
[22:23] Speaker 1: do you think of Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah's descent?
[22:28] Speaker 1: Does this vision of cosmic humility and victory change the
[22:32] Speaker 1: way you think about the Incarnation? Let us know in
[22:36] Speaker 1: the comments below. What did you think of the ascension
[22:39] Speaker 1: of Isaiah? Did the heavenly journey and the prophecy of
[22:43] Speaker 1: the Messiah's descent change your understanding of spiritual warfare and
