King Hezekiah, Isaiah, and the Sundial of Ahaz (Isaiah 38:1-8) used as a type of the Ascension in the Corona Redemption Window (c.1200-07). God granted Hezekiah 15 more years of life, and the sundial belonging to his father Ahaz moves back ten degrees as a sign. Here it represents deliverance and the "ascent" of the sundial by God's will.
