How Adam was snatched up in a fiery chariot and brought before the Lord God in paradiseText
I cast myself down upon the ground at the feet of our sweet Lord. The angels raised me up again from the ground. Thus I stood before the Lord, whom the angelic host serves. (2188-2192, Translation by Halford, 1984, p. 270)Analysis
"Paradise is again represented by three crenellated walls and a door. Two angels are holding the shoulders of Adam, who is kneeling in the centre, and assisting him to his feet. Adam is wearing a brown tunic, his hair and beard are blue and his hands are raised in supplication. The Creator is seated on the right on a rectangular stone. His right hand is raised, his left is holding the orb." (Halford, 1980, pp. 26)Bibliography
