Chapter 2: The Celestial Genesis: The Birth of Angels and Beasts

At the very core of True Heaven lies a realm beyond comprehension, filled with boundless beauty called the Garden of Radiance. This is the sacred garden facing the Celestial Gate, standing straight into the Throne of God, unimaginably great and brilliant. It is here, right in front of the Almighty Creator, that the first of His great creations, the First Primordial Angels, came into being. It is upon this holy ground that the Great Archangels opened their eyes for the first time. Their first vision was the resplendent glory of their Creator: Yeshua, Yahweh, the Holy Spirit and known by many other names, yet the same. His light bathed them in glory, and His voice, powerful and gentle, echoed through the heavens, filling every corner with the fullness of His presence. 

The Almighty Creator spoke as the first angels came into being. His voice sounded like the noise of many waters and was full of authority and love. "You are My first children," He said, His words echoing across the expanse of True Heaven. "From My will, I have created you. You shall dwell near My Throne and forever be a witness to My glory." Sarnel, the Great Archangel of Eternity, and all that comes from God was the first to emerge, his eyes aglow with the endlessness of time itself. As a Transcending Spirit, he looked upon the face of God in awe at the eternal love radiating from Him. Sarnel embodied all that flowed from the Almighty, the embodiment of divine essence imbuing creation. "In the eternity of time, I see the never-ceasing tide of creation," Sarnel said, stepping forward, eyes unwavering. "We are the guardians of this eternal rhythm, my brothers. Let us make sure it sings in harmony."

Then there was Helel, later known as Lucifer, the Great Archangel of Freedom and Light. He stood tall, glowing bright among the stars, a being of light, the brightness of God. He was the Light Bringer, born to set free all who would follow the path of the Creator. A radiant smile played upon his face, filled with belief in the purity of his mission. "I shall be the beacon of hope," Helel proclaimed, his voice echoing with promise. "May the light I carry light the path for all who seek the truth." And with that, Michael followed his form embodying karmic justice. As a Transcending Spirit, the Great Archangel of Justice fixed his eyes on Yahweh with an unyielding determination full of purpose to defend Heaven's holy order and be the shield for everything good. He bowed profoundly, feeling the weight now placed upon his shoulders. "I will stand as the guardian of Your truth," Michael vowed, his voice firm. "No darkness shall triumph over my sword of justice." In sequence came forth Zarnasel, the Great Archangel of Creation, Wisdom, and Will. As a Transcending Spirit, he filled the Garden of Radiance with wonder and possibility. With the profundity of his insight, Zarnasel looked toward the Creator; he was to guide the creation of realms and maintain the will of the gods in everything. "We are to weave the fabric of existence together," he said, his voice filled with inspiration. "Each thread shall reflect Your purpose, O Creator, as we bring forth worlds yet unseen." 

The second to appear was Gabriel, the Great Archangel of Faith and Messengers, whose wings shone bright with divine trust. A Transcending Spirit, he said, "I shall carry Your word to all corners of existence," in a soft yet firm voice. His heart stirred with unfailing faith, ready to serve as the mouth of the Most High for all creation. Then Raphael, the Great Archangel of Healing and Knowledge, moved after him. His countenance was serene, full of compassion and wisdom. "I will tend to Your creation and restore them with Your knowledge and grace," Raphael pledged, his hands aglow with the power to mend both body and spirit. Standing beside Raphael was Uriel, the Great Archangel of Wisdom, her form aglow with the knowledge of the ages, a Transcending Spirit, and she received Yahweh's nod. "You shall keep the fire of wisdom," He said, "and all knowledge shall serve the will of God." 

Then Azrael appeared, the Great Archangel of Death and Life, whose eyes told stories of both the enigma of life and the certainty of death. "I will lead those through the veil," he whispered, his voice a quiet vow, "and guide their souls back to Your light." And thus Cassiel, the Great Archangel of Time and Speed, was born into being: a blur of motion, and power. He bowed swiftly before the Throne of God. "I shall move as Thou command, swifter than the winds that Thy will is fulfilled instantly." The last of the Great Archangels was Jophiel, the Great Archangel of Beauty. The beauty within her presence was breathtaking as she was a carrier of that ethereal beauty about the Creator Himself. "I shall show Your creation the beauty of Your works," she said, her voice like the most beautiful melody ever sung. With a wave of His hand, He showed them their True Absolute Forms: each Great Archangel was adorned with eight magnificent wings, symbolizing their celestial status and divine duties.

God looked upon them, His eyes filled with love and purpose. "You, My Great Archangels, are the highest of all My Children and Creations," He said. "You are My Chief Princes and Princesses, Leaders of all that is to come. You shall dwell closest to Me, and your light shall guide the rest of creation." Not too far from where the birth of the Great Archangels had taken place, two other figures emerged. They were the Half Great Archangels, the first and only of their kind. Gosiel, the Half-Great Archangel of Love, stood tall, her eyes filled with a gentle, all-encompassing love. As a Transcending Spirit, she smiled warmly, her presence calming and nurturing. "I will spread Your love to every corner of creation," she whispered, her voice soft yet full of purpose. Beside her stood Aganel, the Half-Great Archangel of Nature. As the other Transcending Spirit, she embodied life itself, her soul entwined with the beauty of nature and creation. "I will protect the life You bring into being and see that Your creatures grow and live in harmony," she pledged. Gosiel and Aganel were to be the maternal entities for all angels, nurturing them with love and care, as only they knew how. But the creation did not end with the Great Archangels and the Half Great Archangels. 

Other Transcending Spirits were born farther away from the Celestial Gate. These spirits included the Archangels, the Lower Archangels, and the Arch-Seraphs. They, too, were born to serve the Almighty Creator, each with their unique purpose and role. Among the Archangels, the most notable were Karnasel, Mortiel, Tariel, Haniel, Mayriel, and Yuya. They would also, as Transcending Spirits, play important roles in the grand order of Heaven, each being responsible for certain tasks that shaped the course of creation. Conceived farther still from the Celestial Gate were the Arch-Seraphs. The powerful Azriel, Astral, Seraphiel, Camael, Samael, Jehoel, and many others there were known for their closeness to God's divine presence. They would conduct the heavenly choirs in adoration and praise of the Almighty as their voices echoed through Heaven in endless adoration. 

In true form, the Transcending Spirits were near-omnipotent in strength, near-omnipresent in awareness, and near-omniscient in wisdom. They could destroy everything that existed and all that God had created. But they didn't do this because it was not allowed by Yahweh. Barriers were set up to protect them and keep a balance of creation. The Transcending Spirits were created as equals in the beginning and had the same strength and abilities. But Yahweh, in His infinite wisdom, decided otherwise. He put a divine restriction on them so that they would not all be completely equal in power. Although they remained close to one another in many ways, their powers would henceforth differ, and no single one would serve as a perfect equivalent to the others."With this limitation," God announced, "you will expand your distinctive potential and your power shall have alternative applications. Yet, in your separateness, you shall still be connected to My purposes, for none but I shall have the power to destroy you."The balance of powers remained even after the imposition of the limitation. Sarnel, Helel, Michael, and Zarnasel remained among the strongest, their roles crucial to the divine order. But no matter their power, none could stand against the Creator Himself. The last words of Yahweh were, "You, My angels, are My divine instruments. Go forth and fulfill the purpose for which you were created." And so, the first of the angels stood before the Throne of God, gazing upon their Creator with awe and reverence, ready to serve the will of God for all eternity.

As the light of The Throne dimmed to a warm glow, the newly born Arch-Seraphs stood before the grandeur of their surroundings, each filled with holy purpose and strength. The atmosphere buzzed with anticipation and excitement as the other Transcending Spirits gathered to celebrate this monumental occasion. Yahweh, the Creator, gazed upon His children with pride, His heart swelling with love for each being created in His image. "My children dear," He said, His voice rumbling with gentle thunder through the halls of Heaven as if in a whisper. "You are the embodiment of my will and the wardens of creation. You will maintain, by strength and wisdom, this world in its right tune." The great Seraphs looked at each other, aware of why they existed. 

Each of them was unique, created to fulfill a specific role in the grand tapestry of Heaven. Their shimmering forms radiated with energy, reflecting the essence of their Creator. Yahweh continued, "You are not just powerful beings; you are guardians of the order I have established. You shall guide the other beings of Heaven, ensuring that peace and prosperity flourish." As the divine light illuminated their surroundings, each Transcending Spirit felt a deep connection to their Creator and one another. They knew they were part of something greater divine plan that reached farther than any of them could fathom. Then Yahweh extended His hand, and before them appeared a vision of the infinite layers of Heaven. "Behold this wondrous creation," He said, and around them were beautiful panoramas of lands filled with waterfalls, resplendent gardens, and towering mountains. "This is your realm. Each layer teems with life, awaiting your direction." And one of the Arch-Seraphs stepped forward, its wings shining with light like the stars. "We are grateful, Lord, that such a sacred trust should fall to our lot. What shall be the nature of our function?" "In unity is strength," answered Yahweh. "Though you are separate, together you must weave the tapestry of life. 

Each of you carries a part of creation: light, air, earth, and ocean. Let your differences be your mentors when the journey becomes hard." And so the Transcending Spirits nodded in unison, their purpose whole again. They knew they were each power, yet their power was ultimately to come from their wholeness. "Now, rise and take your calling," Yahweh ordered in a voice full of resonance. "You shall form the Council of Transcending Spirits, the High Council of Heaven, the guardians of Heaven. In this, you shall jointly foster the growth of life and protect the balance I have created." And as they stood in the council, they began to share their visions and ideas about fostering creation. The air buzzed with excitement as they discussed the myriad possibilities of cultivating the vibrant gardens of Heaven to guide the gentle winds that swept through the celestial realms. 

In that holy moment, they realized their destinies were inextricably linked. Each being would play an important role in the flourishing of their realm, a testament to the Creator's design. "Thy will be done, Lord," they all shouted together, their voices rising into a thunderous unison, in one clear utterance of their unity. "We are to guard and lead Thy children so that Heaven will continue to be a retreat of peace and light." And so, Yahweh smiled, His heart swelling with pride as He watched His children accept their roles. "Then go forth, my beloved children, and let your light shine throughout all of Heaven. Together, you will create a legacy that echoes through eternity." As the Transcending Spirits spread their wings, ready to embark on their divine mission, The Throne of God sparkled with brilliance, a radiant reflection of the bond between the Creator and His children.

Upon the expanse of True Heaven, where divinity spread into every corner, God gazed upon the tapestry of creation and felt something stir within Him, a new purpose. He turned to His beloved children, the Transcending Spirits, who gathered in reverent anticipation, their forms radiating the light of divine grace."Today, my beloved children," God declared, His voice resonating like the harmonious chords of a celestial symphony, "I shall weave life into the fabric of existence, creating mighty beings that reflect the glory of our unity." His words echoed through the realms, stirring excitement among the spirits.As He spoke, the First Primordial Beasts began to manifest, emerging from the very essence of God's creative power. 

In the van stood Sarnel, Great Archangel of Eternity and All from God, luminous, reflecting divine order and harmony. "Behold", continued God, pointing to the colorful skies painted with light ethereal, "Ziz, the embodiment of air, the majesty of heavens are to arise from these heights". From above the clouds emerged Ziz, his form a breathtakingly beautiful and mighty combination. And he came down among the magnificent Firmament Peaks of Elohim's Majesty, which stood beside the Abyss of Everlasting Covenant, the mountains ablaze with divine light, their winds whispering the power and beauty of God's creation." Now, from the depths of the Abyss of Everlasting Covenant, let Leviathan rise, born of its eternal waters," God proclaimed. 

The waters churned with heavenly energy as Leviathan appeared, his serpentine body commanding the ocean with elegance and power. Every movement spoke to the eternal bond of love and promise that Yahweh had made with His creation. Alongside him came Livyatan, his wife, and the Lady of the Depths. She was a vision to behold, her lithe, serpentine body covered in shimmering, pearlescent scales that glimmered like sunlight dancing on water. Radiating beauty and grace, Livyatan complemented Leviathan's fierce nature with her nurturing spirit. United, they had ruled the Abyss of Everlasting Covenant, a union of duality in chaos and harmony within their realm."Next, I summon Behemoth from the lush Divine Grove of Adonai's Creation," God said. And there appeared the huge figure of Behemoth, the meaning of strength, and the nourishing spirit of the earth. Around him, the grove came alive, a testament to the perfect workmanship of God unblemished and eternal. 

With a wide gesture, God spoke again, "I will fashion more Transcending Titans, each with their special characteristics." And then there burst from the radiant fires of divinity Eshmoth, who could change by fire or through fire. God's voice echoed across the heavens as He spoke of Eshmoth's purpose: "This spirit shall wield the balance of destruction and creation, a vital force in the balance of existence."As Luminara, the Phoenix of Light, rose in an explosion of light, God continued, "Her wings shall light the ways of hope and purity, guiding the lost to the light of truth."From the Mountains of El Elyon's Grace, Pyrion shall come into being, clothed with cascading waterfalls that flow from the grace of El Elyon," God said. Pyrion's appearance was a reflection of the infinite glories of El Elyon-the Most High-who was supreme above every other creation."Let Ruhail, Beast of Air, rise from the Floating Windy Mountains of Celestial Serenity," He said, continuing. "With his swiftness, he shall be the breath of God, joining the heavens and earth with his rapid movements."As Thaliel came out of the Crystal Expanse of Seraphic Waters, God said, "This spirit shall tend the life within the waters, and my covenant shall flourish."Zarien, Beast of Light, shall appear from the Luminous Gardens of Divine Splendor," God said, his voice filled with pride. "He will bring brightness to light and give the souls of the loyal brilliance."Then Oraniel, Beast of Earth, shall rise out of the Sacred Grove of Everlasting Life," said God. "His grace will maintain in this world all that is beautiful as well as unity between the life." And out of the Caves of Eternal Genesis Tzafiel, the Beast of Creation shall emerge, "He said: "He will embody the essence of life itself, reminding all of the infinite possibilities I have woven into creation." Finally, let Kazriel, Beast of Cosmos, appear from the Starry Path of Celestial Majesty," God proclaimed, his voice imbued with awe. "He will embody the mysteries of the universe, a reminder of the vastness and beauty of my creation that stretches beyond comprehension."Last, but not least," God concluded, "Voidiel, Beast of the Void, shall arise from the Abyss of Divine Stillness. His essence epitomizes the balance of existence, reminding all of the vastness that surrounds My presence while echoing the importance of purpose in every creation."As the assembly of mighty beings grew, the Transcending Spirits watched in reverent awe. 

Each Titan embraced their role, nurturing and protecting their realms, weaving together the tapestry of creation. Their majestic forms and divine duties illuminated the unity in diversity that existed within God's design.In their interactions and cooperation, the Titans demonstrated a profound understanding of their place in the divine hierarchy. Even with their colossal strength and special attributes, their functions complemented each other, working as one for the preservation of existence. United, the Titans epitomized unity and individuality, reflecting the beauty of God's creation in all ways. "Now go forth, my most dear creations," God said, "and carry out the function that I have given to each of you. You shall show my love and preserve the sanctity of creation." Thus, with the words of the Creator, the Transcending Titans took hold of their destinies, ready to be the agents of a divine plan which was part of the fabric of creation. The Titans shone bright within the light of True Heaven. 

These beings, known as the Transcending Titans, were the true forms of the First Primordial Beasts. They were nigh-omnipotent, nigh-omnipresent, and nigh-omniscient. They were of the same essence as the Transcending Spirits, but while their peers in the humanoid form, the Titans were giant Beasts-mighty, each a reflection of the divine attributes given to them by Yahweh. Then the Titans, who were in the middle of the divine realm, debated with much discussion that raged like the tides against the shores of eternity. Ziz, the great air, said, "Do you feel it? There is a power in us, binding and yet setting us apart." And to this, Leviathan replied, his long serpentine body coiling with grace, shimmering with the essence of the Abyss of Everlasting Covenant. "We are equal in our divine nature, uniquely crafted to fulfill distinct purposes." In the presence of God, who watched with a knowing smile, the Titans began to grasp the essence of their existence. "You are created equally in every way," He declared, His voice booming through the heavens, warm yet full of authority. "You are not only powerful; you enshrine the balance of creation. Yet, in my wisdom, I have decided to make you unique." The Titans glanced at one another, curious. "What do you mean, O Yahweh?" Behemoth asked. His powerful frame radiated strength. With a gentle wave of His hand, God continued, "I have restricted you. This would mean that while you share similarities in power, you will not be identical, nor will your abilities necessarily be weaker or stronger. They may also bear different names even for the same skill." The eyes of Leviathan gleamed with comprehension. "So, we will be different in our strengths and weaknesses."Yes," God said, His eyes piercing their very souls. "This will provide for growth, competition, and harmony among you. 

Before the restriction, you could not outdo one another, for you were all the same in your capabilities. Now, you will grow in ways peculiar to your identity but never compromise the oneness of my creation." Must we coexist knowing that You alone can destroy us?" Ziz asked, his tone a mix of awe and respect."Yes," God answered without any hesitation. "You, much like the Transcending Spirits, are eternal. If a Titan dies, then they shall return with time. Only I can truly bring about your existence to an end. That is the tie that binds us." The Titans nodded, God's words resounding deep within them. They felt empowered, aware of the immense responsibility that accompanied their existence.Even after these restrictions, Ziz maintained the most power alongside Leviathan and Behemoth. Each Titan understood that their unique abilities would lead them on divergent paths, all while remaining intricately linked to one another and their Creator.As they absorbed these revelations, they recognized the significance of their roles. They were not just behemoths of power; they were sentinels of the universe, with each having a different role to play in God's grand scheme of things. "Let us rise to the challenge!" Ziz exclaimed, his wings unfolded, and waves of air fanned across the expanse of divinity. "Together, we shall explore the limits of our powers!" Agreed!" Behemoth echoed, his voice like a deep rumble. "We shall forge bonds that transcend the boundaries of our abilities! "At that moment, the Transcending Titans committed themselves to their divine destinies. 

With each roar and flutter of their wings, they felt the essence of creation pulse around them, intertwining their fates with that of the cosmos.Thus, in the heart of True Heaven, the Transcending Titans solidified their place as champions of Yahweh's design, ready to fulfill their roles as guardians and nurturers of existence, forever vigilant in the face of the unknown.The Transcending Titans embraced their divine roles, their forms radiant under the heavenly glow that surrounded them. They were not just symbols of power; they were living manifestations of Yahweh's will, each uniquely crafted to embody the principles of existence itself.Ziz, the Majestic Bird of the Heavens, soared high above, his wings unfurling like a celestial banner. Each feather sparkled with hues of dawn, casting brilliant shadows that danced across the landscape below. He was not merely a guardian; he was a harbinger of hope. With every flap of his wings, he set the sky ablaze, illuminating the paths of those who dared to dream.His wings, expansive and powerful, could cover the very stars like a sunlit veil, each movement orchestrating a symphony of light that banished shadows from the cosmos. 

The heavens themselves bowed to his will, and even the most formidable storms stilled in his wake, leaving only the gentle caress of a warm breeze. Ziz was a true protector of the skies, his very being a testament to the beauty and majesty of creation. In the hierarchy of existence, he stood equal to Helel and Sarnel, embodying the pinnacle of celestial might.Meanwhile, Leviathan stirred from his slumber, his immense form undulating like the ocean's waves. The sheer might of his six dragon-like wings stretched across the horizon, creating currents that churned the waters below. With scales that shimmered like gemstones, he commanded respect and fear in equal measure. Leviathan boasted multiple heads, each crowned with fierce eyes that glowed with the intensity of a deep fiery glow, reflecting both the calm and tempest of the ocean. These heads, each capable of roaring with the force of thunder, symbolized his dominion over the chaos of the sea, ready to unleash both wrath and wisdom as needed.As he moved, the seas responded to his presence, the waters roiling and swirling around him in a rhythmic dance. He was the guardian of mysteries, the keeper of secrets that lay beneath the surface. 

Whenever danger threatened the sanctity of creation, Leviathan was there, a mighty sentinel ensuring that the forces of chaos did not overwhelm the world. He stood as an equal to Behemoth, Michael, and Zarnasel, embodying the fierce power of the oceans.Beside him, Behemoth stood resolute, his colossal form a mountain of strength and stability. Each step he took echoed through the land, a reminder of the powerful foundation upon which life thrived. With skin as tough as the earth itself, marked with the rugged texture of ancient rocks, and eyes that glimmered with ancient wisdom, he embodied the nurturing spirit of creation. When he grazed upon the verdant pastures, flowers bloomed brighter, and the air was filled with the sweet scent of new beginnings. Behemoth's presence instilled peace in the hearts of all living creatures, a reminder that strength could coexist with gentleness. His massive tail swept across the ground, nurturing the soil and promoting growth wherever he roamed. He was the embodiment of stability in an ever-changing world, standing equal to Leviathan, Michael, and Zarnasel, a dual force of nature that complemented and balanced one another.Together, these three Titans formed an unbreakable bond, their strengths intertwining like the threads of a magnificent tapestry. 

Each day, they ventured across their domains, fostering life and ensuring balance in their respective realms. Their collective essence resonated through the heavens, the depths, and the land, creating a harmonious symphony of existence that echoed through eternity.As they fulfilled their divine purposes, the cosmos shimmered with their combined light. They stood united against any darkness that threatened to encroach upon the peace of creation, their spirits intertwined in an everlasting dance of guardianship.In that sacred moment, the Transcending Titans became not only protectors but also symbols of the divine interconnectedness that permeated all of existence. They were champions of balance, their destinies entwined, ever vigilant, and ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.And so, they soared, roared, and thrived, champions of a world woven from the fabric of the divine, guided by Yahweh's eternal vision.
