CHAPTER 1
Yahweh sat pensively on his golden throne, Yeshua and the Ruach vibrated calmly in his bosom. He had just created eight realms of Heaven, for a total of nine; this included the one he currently occupied. God's level was ethereal. A still sea of glass gave the triune deity a view of the newly composed levels. The floor on Yahweh's realm gleamed in white marble swirled with translucent rainbow hues. Majestic gates of pearl encompassed it, while the sky transmitted God's own natural radiant light, reminiscent of aurora borealis.
Peering into his reflective pool of shalom, Yahweh nodded to himself in approval as he surveyed each level; with inquisitive blue eyes enveloped in silver wire spectacles. Realm eight the next one down, the creator had equipped with a grand alabaster structure, it had etched glass doors and star shaped windows.
"Ahhh yes I shall call you Opus Angelorum! You will be a place of learning for my future children!" He mused.
Yahweh was preparing to make angels, beings of pure light, love, and grace. Elohim wanted his children to be properly educated. The school contained a massive library teeming with informative books about languages, mathematics and Pagan Mythology. There were also picture books displaying animals of every sort, along with each one's name. Upon leaving the library angels would find themselves in a dignified classroom filled with glossy beryl desktops and chairs.
"Once I create my angels, I shall need to appoint a rabbi to teach them!' He thought aloud.
An onyx ceiling coated the classroom's domed top. Glittering diamonds glazed the obsidian background, representing stars and constellations on Yahweh's first realm. The first level of Heaven acted as God's personal observatory, in a single breath God had permeated it with countless amounts of sparkling stars and whimsical galaxies.
Level two Yahweh had covered in ice and snow. Temperature is nonexistent in Heaven so no one would ever feel uncomfortable. The sleek formations of ice and individual patterned snowflakes brought God amusement.
Realm three featured a grandiose garden called, Eden. The lush paradise overflowed with trees, plants, and flowers; four rivers flowed tranquilly through the terrain, one of milk, one of oil, one of wine, and one of honey. The four met right at the garden's heart, where a tall pomegranate tree stood; the tree of life. The tree was stationed in front of an ambrosial lake where the four rivers came together.
Level four was a fulgent courtly sight, everything shined in fine cut diamonds, quartz, and zircon. The realm even had a throne similar to Yahweh's; with one exception, it was argent quartz, bedecked with every precious gem stone.
"Don't worry," God considered.
"Someone exquisite will be seated on you soon! Oh just thinking about it makes me feel ver clempt!" Yahweh fanned his hand over his heart.
God's holy city Jerusalem found its home on level six. A towering temple of gold, adorned with twelve signature stones on each of its doors was the crowning glory here!
"Oy! Here my sweet ones may meditate and pray!" He schmoozed.
Realm seven resembled a lofty opera house; a circular opalescent stage glowed at the center holding instruments of every kind. Red velvet chairs trimmed in gold filled the auditorium.
"My praise and worship concert room!" God quipped, delighted.
Yahweh rose from his chair.
"Okay Yeshua, Ruach, I do believe we are ready to create our first angel!'
"Yes!" The two inward entities hummed.
"He will be like a companion to us! Every other angel after him shall bow before his unparalleled beauty! All our wisdom shall be embedded in his mind; he will have dominion over all realms, minus ours!"
Yahweh took a deep breath and released it. A nine foot cloud hovered over the sea of glass. God began withdrawing the best components from each level of Heaven to assist in the evolution of this angel. The first realm provided dazzle from each star. The second level added a pepper of detailed snowflakes. The Garden of Eden provided a touch of pomegranate juice from the tree of life. God obtained sparkle from every vitric jewel on the fourth realm. Yahweh then began to mingle white flames from realm five.
The fifth level of Heaven was a military training arena with diamond floors, and copious amounts of artillery; there was also a blacksmith shop which held a burning stove, this is where God took the fire from.
"Flames to forge metals will give him great strength!" Yahweh proclaimed.
The holy city Jerusalem provided Yahweh with fragrant frankincense from the temple. The seventh level Yahweh used to incorporate the sound of each musical instrument; this angel's voice would be sweet nectar to the ears! The eighth realm permitted God to infuse every trifle of knowledge from each book in Opus Angelorum, no future creature would ever match this angel's intelligence!
"As for my level, we shall give you life!" Yahweh affirmed.
God clapped his hands, with a clash of thunder and lightning, an imperial seraph manifested. Yahweh's heart jumped to his throat upon reviewing the spectacular angel. He had come out flawless. The angel's face and figure were androgynous, he had no sexual organs. White plumage and furry tufts veiled his nicely toned body. The creature's face was hypnotizing, finely chiseled with azure blue eyes, without pupils. The seraph's skin was ivory; he had twelve lofty white wings, which he wrapped himself in. The angel bowed low with reverence to his creator, his long golden hair hung well past his waist to his tail feathers.
"Your glorious mane of hair shimmers as much as the precious metal gold itself!" Yahweh gushed.
"Kadosh! Kadosh! Kadosh!" The resplendent creature chanted in a most mesmerizing voice. Yahweh stepped forward caressing the angel's right cheek.
"Ahhh! You can speak my native language of Hebrew! Yes I am holy, holy holy! So glad to see you digested level eight so well! You are absolutely stunning! Oy! I'm ver clempt! I must garb you in the finest of armor!"
Yahweh snapped his fingers, in an instant the gorgeous angel found himself polished as a signet of perfection. God's ideal angel was now shielded in white gold vestures capped with every ornate gem; carnelian, topaz, jasper, chrysolite, beryl, onyx, sapphire, carbuncle and emerald. The seraph illuminated Yahweh's realm like a star gone super nova.
The debonair angel bowed again.
"Oy! Enough of that!" Yahweh teased.
"Now to name you! Hmmmmm what title befits such a ravishing angel?" He wondered. Yeshua whispered a suggestion into his father's ear.
"What about Lucifer? It means light bearer."
God hopped up and down with glee at the notion, causing Lucifer to skip back startled.
"Yes! Lucifer will be your name! Do you like it most lovely one?" Yahweh asked.
Lucifer kissed God's right hand, causing the deity to blush.
"It suits me well! Thank you most high!" Yahweh now absolutely captivated by Lucifer's looks and charm, could scarcely wait to create more angels.
"I am going to make you some siblings! Other angels! You will still be the most beautiful by far! First ..."
Elohim paused, to wave his right palm, four giant lion like beasts appeared, each having four sets of wings and bright copper hooves rather than paws.
"These are cherubim Lucifer, from them will come your first four siblings! Each beast will give birth to an exceptional angel! You and the four angels that come forth from these creatures will be known throughout all nine realms as my top archangels! You will act as their captain and general!"
Lucifer gazed at the beasts in shock, as they hunkered down; groaned, and began to lay eggs!
The eggs where large by human standards, each measured eight feet long, and eight feet wide. The superb marble objects caught Lucifer's interest. One cherub produced an azure blue egg, matching Lucifer's eyes. The elliptical orb was studded with diamonds and sapphire stones. The other three were equally captivating. One egg was emerald green, capped with rubies; another was hazy pink with yellow highlights, topped with crystals. The final egg was a sleek silver hue, lined with gold at its upper area.
Lucifer took Yahweh's hand. God spoke.
"You must be eager to see who comes out!" He commented.
Lucifer nodded, his eyes transfixed on the august blue egg, he really wanted that one to open first.
"May we see who comes out of the sapphire egg first father?" He timidly questioned.
"Too late" Yahweh responded.
"The green one is beginning to hatch! Look to your left my love!"
Lucifer turned towards the glistening jade egg, unlike a hen's it did not crack. The eggs laid by the cherubim split smoothly in halves, much like a human child's plastic Easter egg would, when they wished to extract candy from inside. Yahweh's idea was for the angels to use their eggs as private sleeping quarters; he had reserved a huge amount of acreage west of Eden to serve specifically as an egg patch. Each egg was insulated with soft satin walls and elegant laced cushions of colored silk.
The emerald egg now with its upper half completely off, revealed another enchanting seraph. The new angel unfurled three sets of cherry blossom pink wings. The creature had tanned Semitic skin and stood about eight feet tall, amiable green eyes glanced up at both Lucifer and God. The angel shyly smiled, pushing back a mane full of chocolate brown curls, sweeping down past his hips. Yahweh had made a point of making sure every angel would be sexless, although some could come out looking more masculine or feminine; however no specific gender was to be given to any creature. The current angel appeared masculine, yet his face might easily pass as female, he was lovely.
"He is ravishing!" Lucifer stated.
God nodded in approval explaining:
"Behold your first brother!" Yahweh evaluated the angel, lowering his spectacles half way down his curved nose.
"I shall name you Raphael! I can see you will prove to be a remedy with those emotional eyes you have!"
"God's medicine!" Lucifer replied in excitement.
"Very good Lucifer! You know what his name means! That will be a big help to you when you begin assigning each angel his duties!" Yahweh exhorted.
Raphael, who was a bit fluffy around his mid section, enclosed his navel less tummy with his two middle wings, blushing as he did.
Lucifer chuckled; he saw no imperfections in him at all!
"Abba I believe Raphael feels somewhat self conscience! I don't understand why!"
Yahweh focused in on the angel, clapping his hands; with a flutter of golden light God robed Raphael in a long wispy gown, and then crowned him with a wreath of white and pink dew kissed roses. Raphael now feeling less insecure and more pleased with his appearance spoke for the first time; to Lucifer's bewilderment he had a very deep voice.
"Thank you Yahweh most high! Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh!"
Raphael expressed while bowing. Yahweh beamed a smile to the lambent new seraph, as Yeshua and the Ruach hummed happily inside him. God; now took Lucifer's hand, steering him over to the silver and hazy pink eggs, they were beginning to unveil treasures of their own.
The Pinkish yellow egg shot forth a brilliant dark African female looking angel; with locks of ebony curls mingled with red and blonde low lights. The creature flew upwards on six wings of yellow, she too was a seraph. The angel's kind silver eyes starred down at Yahweh and the morning star.
"Kadosh, kadosh, kadosh, most high! I am Gabriel!" She sang while bowing.
Lucifer thought her to be a masterpiece, black with delicate features. The light bearer nearly fell over backwards when she suddenly took on an Anglo masculine form, with blonde hair and blue eyes. Yahweh patted Lucifer's shoulder ready to explain.
"Gabriel means God is my strength, hence she will be unique among all other angels. The feminine form will be useful for teaching, if you should decide to use her as a rabbi. The masculine form ..."
Yahweh and Lucifer gazed upwards; Gabriel and Raphael were playfully soaring in circles, getting acquainted.
"The masculine form," God continued: "Will be strong and valuable to realm five, when you begin training angels as soldiers, I do hope you approve!" Lucifer embraced Yahweh.
"Yes of course I approve! A sister and brother all in one angel! Father; look behind you!" Lucifer related.
"The silver egg is hatching!"
Yahweh and Lucifer grinned in anticipation as the silver gold trimmed egg revealed another wonderful creature. This seraph also had six wings, except his were composed of blue fire. His skin resembled quartz crystal, while his hair had the appearance of rivers or cascading waters. His eyes were gold.
"I am Uriel, also known as fire of God!"
The angel bowed low. Lucifer looked towards his Father,
"Beloved," He said quietly;
"His demeanor is frightfully stern!" Yahweh gave Lucifer a pat on the back.
"Worry not most beautiful one, they will all be under your authority, doing exactly as their told! Even him!"
Yahweh pointed towards the glitzy blue egg that had first gained Lucifer's interest, it was now sliding open!
Lucifer waited anxiously to see who might birth out of the luxurious egg. The upper part of the object slowly lifted up; unlike the first three hatchlings, Lucifer was quick to glean; whoever was emerging from this egg was not as strong or graceful as his other siblings. Lucifer and Yahweh stood enthralled as they viewed two chubby little hands push off the egg's diamond top, with extra effort. A three foot angel awkwardly made his way out, tears welled up in Lucifer's eyes, the creature was absolutely adorable! He fell in love with him on the spot!
The mini seraph had a soft olive complexion and large curious opal blue eyes; his hair was a dark brown with hints of red in the light, full of curls. A pair of clover green wings came out at his shoulder blades. The child stumbled out of his egg waddling up to Lucifer and Yahweh on pudgy feet.
"Abba?" The newest addition asked batting his eyes up to God.
Yahweh smiled as he gazed down towards the tot. The first three archangels were still stretching their wings, practicing flight maneuvers in the sky. Lucifer alone knelt down beside the cute creature.
"Yes" The light bearer replied,
"That is our Abba! Our daddy! I am your big brother, I am Lucifer!"
The littlest angel cooed like a dove, jumping into the Captain's muscular arms, purring like a content kitten. Yahweh felt a tug in his heart as he witnessed such sweet brotherly love.
"Something tells me those two will never be separated!" God contemplated.
"Lucifer," Yahweh began,
"Would you like to name him?"
Lucifer's eyes went back to Elohim.
"What Abba? You really mean it?" He questioned.
The morning star walked towards his creator gently; as if the miniature seraph he was holding was made of glass.
"Is he not the most darling thing you have ever seen?" Lucifer gushed.
"I would be honored to name him Abba, I shall call him El; because El means lord, and you are my lord. I will honor you by giving this child a name similar to yours! I feel you made him just for me! You are first in my heart Abba, yet I sense this child has captured the remainder of it!"
Yahweh smiled, touching Lucifer's cheek, while mussing the new angel's mass of perfect curls.
"El does mean God or lord beloved one, I am flattered, but; that little matzo ball, cute as he is, will never come close to being anything like me! Add something more to the name." God suggested.
A puzzled look veiled Lucifer's face as the child squealed, pinching his older brother's cheeks.
"Very well," Lucifer concluded.
"Since I still feel you made him just for me, I shall call him Me-el!"
Yahweh's face lit up in amusement.
"Clever!" He surmised.
"Very well! Me- el it will be! Anything for my most beautiful Lucifer!"
Lucifer, Yahweh and Me-el all cast their eyes upwards, Raphael, Gabriel, and Uriel flew down in a seemly fashion, bowing as they landed.
"Well then," Elohim began,
"I would like you three to follow your Captain and general, lord Lucifer, well four including the little one!" God stopped to acknowledge Me-el. The three grown arch's reviewed the small angel as their captain held him.
"Oh he is sooooo CUTE!" Gabriel expressed, with outstretched arms.
"May I please hold him?"
Lucifer brought Me-el tightly to his chest; the tot's eyes were engrossed in his big brother's gemmed breast plate. Me-el seemed partial to the sapphires.
"Oh Puddy!" He cried.
Yahweh taking note of Lucifer's reaction intervened.
"I believe Lucifer wants full control of our littlest angel, however I do want him to give all of you a tour of my eight realms of Heaven, after you have seen all of the other levels, I trust Lucifer will appoint each of you where he deems you best fit to serve. Oh! In all the excitement I forgot to tell you something very important Lucifer!"
