Jarahmael. He has an important task for you and a small group of other Cherubim.”
“Greetings Archangel!” said Faumiel. “What can I do for you today?”
“I have a mission of the utmost importance for you. It’s transporting the weapons that remain along these racks. First though, I want enough weapons to arm the Cherubim left here so they can defend the Sixth Heaven. In case Luciferael's legions attack us here, I want to be able to hold his legions back from taking the Seventh Heaven. Other than that, I want the rest of the weapons to be taken down to the Earth.”
Faumiel responded, “That certainly can be done. When do you need it done by?”
“No time like the present,” Jarahmael answered. “We need to get these weapons out of here and to the Earth, just in case they are needed to defend.”
“That could be a tight time schedule. I will assign my best Cherubim quartermasters to this assignment. It should take about an hour to get it all assembled and into your hands,” Faumiel said.
“Splendid,” replied Jarahmael. “I will be waiting in the clouds of the Fifth Heaven to cause a distraction so you and your other Angels can pass through there with the rest of the weapons undetected. See you after. Let's hope this is all some misunderstanding,” he said as he turned and prepared to fly off once again.
Chapter 9
JARAHMAEL AND LUCIFERAEL
The blue clouds in the Fifth Heaven popped into Jarahmael’s view as he entered once again. The Hall of the Virtues was still abuzz with Angels moving about, a collection of Angels from each of the seven remaining Orders of Angels, save for the Seraphim and the Thrones . Wish I had an opportunity to discuss what is going on here with the Almighty, Jarahmael thought as he flew silently high above. He was careful to move from blue cloud to blue cloud and keep himself out of sight. He could see that the bulk of the Angels had been assembled outside the Hall of the Virtues, now in formations and armed. They were beginning to collect as legions and move apart, one legion from another. It was only a matter of time before they flew off to the Earth to destroy the Humans.
Luciferael was still there by the Hall of the Virtues, steering the troop movements around him. Jarahmael could see the other Archangels that were part of Luciferael's Auxilium mixed among the Angels. They were in charge of the various legions and formations and seemed to be controlling the various blocks of the other Orders of Angels. Sammuael had the Cherubim ranks with him. Beelzebael had the Dominions, while Mephistophael commanded the Principal ities . Mammonael was with the Potentates. It was hard to keep them in a configuration because as floating orbs they just floated about, not in a streamlined movement. Looking down at their faces that filled the one side of the orbs, these Potentates were not smiling . In fact, their faces were beginning to turn angry, which was somewhat frightening with just the head-like orbs and no bodies.
The Guardian Angels who made up a large part of the whole contingent were split into groups commanded by the other Archangels that Jarahmael saw there. Damiel had one group while Suriel had another. As Jarahmael watched from above, the legions were being set-up under the commands of the various Archangels of the Auxilium. Angels for each of the Orders were assigned to a legion and marched into position. This took time, and as Jarahmael watched he saw the legions being formed, with squadrons of Cherubim in the lead, Principalities, Guardians, Dominions and finally Potentates bringing up the rear of each legion.
In total the army appeared to be split into two main bodies O ne group was set under the major command of Beelzebael, the under the command of Sammuael. Beelzebael’s army was beginning to line itself up poised to enter the lower Heavens through the Fourth Heaven while Sammuael’s legions were marching to get ready to fly upwards towards the Sixth
