The Great Sea

The 4th layer of Heaven. Clouds above a great sea. Below the sea is the lower firmament (Upper Limbo) where stars shine through to the upper layers of Heaven. This layer is also the base of creation and also the home of Holy Angels.

When a Human soul dies and reaches Heaven, if are not found to be immediately righteous or evil on death they will wake drowning in the sea until retrieved by Ramiel (see Humans & Judgement for more information on classifications after death).

Cleanses those who pass through (righteous souls and those on their way to The In-Between) of their old sins. Characters:

Ramiel acts as the guide to The In-Between, picking up souls from The Great Sea and guiding them to the island in a boat. Example Quotes:


 * What are the lights? Underneath that sea.
 * That’s the lower firmament, it’s where we’re from. Each star represents a soul that has been or is yet to be.
 * Which do you think is me? OR so.. can we go back?
 * Nope, we’d pass through. Only ordained can venture back to the land of the living. Below those stars lies Limbo, where Lost Souls wander. And below that is a river of fire and ice (River to Sheol) that leads out of the heavens and into Sheol.
