# The Seven Heavens

Source: https://enocharchive.com/symbols/seven-heavens (Enoch Archive).

The Ascension of Isaiah describes ascent above the firmament to the first heaven, then the second of matching height from heaven to earth and the firmament. In the sixth heaven glory surpasses the five below, without angels on the left or a throne in the midst, under the seventh heaven's power where He that is not named and the Elect One dwell. The seventh holds wonderful light and innumerable angels; praises from the six heavens are heard and seen there.

The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs speak of seven heavens. Heavens up to the fourth are holy, and the Great Glory dwells in the highest holy of holies far above all holiness. Next stand angels of the presence who minister and make propitiation for the righteous with a bloodless offering; below them angels bear answers to those of the presence.
