Now THIS get's you thinking
Posted By: FriendlyFire <kurt_bergeron@mac.com>Date: 4/20/04 8:42 a.m.

In Response To: Re: Trautmann! - FS spoilers (Wado SG)

: Kalmiya, another AI mentioned in First Strike, is an angel prince who has
: authority, with six other princes, of guarding the gate or the so-called
: veil of the seventh heaven. Among the other angel guardians were Gabriel
: and Sandalphon (of course I like Gabriel, for personal reasons, not only
: because he was an Archon... FF, lol).

All this talk of angels and the mention of The Seventh Heaven got me thinking of what exactly is The Seventh Heaven? What's in it? What is ruled over?

A quick search turned up

Interesting, but not quite as interesting as the last blurb:

The notion of the 7 Heavens appears in The Testament Of The Twelve Patriarchs and other Jewish apocrypha, and was familiar to the ancient Persians and Babylonians. The Persians pictured the Almighty in the highest of the 7 Heavens, "seated on a great white throne, surrounded by winged cherubim."The Koran also speaks of 7 Heavens.

The Persians? Once again they come up. I think this avenue requires further research as far as the Persian's view of The Seventh Heaven. Besides tying into Bungie's incessant use of 7, could the tru7h lie in the Persian views of The Seven Heaven and what it represents?
