In the Sefer Hekalot, Rabbi Ishmael is described as having visited the Seventh Heaven, where he met Enoch, who claims that earth had, in his time, been corrupted by the demons Shammazai, and Azazel, and so Enoch was taken to Heaven to prove that God was not cruel.

In the Bible, a witness is basically someone who sees something important or amazing. In Hebrew, this person is an eid and in Greek a mártus. And if this person begins to share what they've seen, we call this “bearing witness,” in Hebrew, uwd, and in Greek, marturéo.
