Judgement

The 6th layer of Heaven - The holy place of judgement and home to the Archangels.

Judgement here is reserved only for those who have to visit the In-Between and are not immediately sent to Paradise or Sheol (see Humans & The In-Between for more information on classifications after death). Upon judgment, if deemed righteous, Michael will guide humans to Paradise and if evil Samael will drag them to Sheol.

Raguel takes on the role of Judge. Characters:

Ramiel guides souls to Judgement after their time is up during the In-Between.

Michael carries souls from Judgement to Paradise if they are found righteous.

Samael drags souls from Judgement to Sheol if they are found unholy. parent: Heaven

Based on 2 Enoch layers 4 and 6

ALTERNATIVE: Particular Judgment: per-person judgment is not typical in the old testament or apocryphal texts [ref] but is present in the Testament of Abraham. Through this and 1,2 Enoch an alternative framing for judgment and purgatory is that there is only one final/general judgement. Purgatory is still a location where souls are kept and evaluated prior to judgment and still all human deeds are recorded (2 enoch)
