The Holy Ones

I saw the Holy Sons of God.
They were stepping on flames of fire:
Their garments were white,
And their faces shone like snow.

He showed me all the secrets
Of goodness and of the the heavens,
And of the chambers of the stars, and the luminaries,
Whence they proceed before the face of the Holy Ones.

And he took my spirit into heaven
And I saw there a house made of crystals,
And between these crystals were tongues of living fire.
And my spirit saw the ring of fire around that house.

On all four sides were streams of living fire,
And around and about were the Seraphim & the Cherubim
And these are they who sleep not,
And guard the throne of His glory.
And I beheld countless angels,
A thousand thousand, and ten thousand times ten thousand,

Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel,
And the Holy angels who are above the heavens,
They dwell in that realm,
And they came forth from that house.

Michael, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel,
And many angels without number.
And with them the King of days,
His hair white and pure as wool,

His raiment indescribable…
