I see you've incorporated several parts of the bible, including Isaiah, Revelation and Daniel that I could identify. I look forward to seeing where you're going with this one. It's an enjoyable read that's not only well-written, but the lexicon and flow of ideas are all careful knitted together to advance your story. Nicely done!

Thank you so much. I just had to add these scriptures you just mention for a reviewer who thought I made them up. I had to send a couple of scriptures. Didn't feel like sending them all. Thank you for being knowledgeable about the Bible to appreciate the writing. I look forward to you reviewing more of my work. I need more reviewers like you who Know Bible quotes when you see them. Bless you.

Hi amahra,
Interesting start, drawing on Revelations, Chapter 4. There is certainly plenty of material contained therein to keep you busy.

Thank you Patrick. I think I'll use my imagination for a lot of it. The Biblical story is quick limited in detail. So I get a chance to have some fun with creating based on the limited supply.

The Revelations story is allegorical, and John had his focus on the manner in which all creation joined in worship. The seraphs (creatures) are quite well described and reflect the animals God gave life and his blessing to in Genesis 1. We tend to forget that allegory was the 'safe' way to convey a message that was essentially subversive as he is saying the Emperor is completely outranked by our heavenly Father - the Shah ran Shah ...

Thanks. That's deep, Patrick.

this was a great intro to your book, I loved the imagery you created of God's throne room. it was magnificent and over the top just as we all imagine God's palace would be. great job.
looking forward to reading more. I love this kind of Fantasy.

Hello. I think this is a good prelude to your book. It is a big undertaking, but one that you feel so connected to. I look forward to watching it unfold.

Comment from Margaret Snowdon
Beautifully written, Amahra - such brilliant
descriptions - your words painting the scenes,
such as:
Circling the throne was a rainbow resembling an emerald. There was no need for moons or suns to shine. He was their light and the Lamb was their lamp.
and
The throne room overflowed with music of harps, horns, cymbals and other instruments of gold. And as the music meshed with the singing, it created a mist that served as a savory in the nostrils of God.
Most impressive, my friend - good luck.

I loved what you wrote as a prelude to your book.
The fall of Lucifer from the grace of God and eventually from heaven is a very creative idea and because it is Fantasy you can take it any direction you wish., Good luck

Thank you. Yes, I was thinking the very thing, about stretching the story out and taking it to another level.
Comment from billscott
I look forward to the rest of what you have done here.
Defiance is a curious tendency. To learn of its origination might shed light on managing it versus directing its elimination.
Cool rendition..hope you continue it along.

I've always been very interested in the story behind what caused the fall of Lucifer and this prelude sets the stage wonderfully. Can't wait to see what happens next

Good opening to a story that can go in many different directions as Lucifer's fall from grace is interpreted in many different ways. Good luck.

That's good thinking Amahra and it should work. It's a great story that of Lucifer's fall. Perhaps you'll consider this s real challenge. Awesome girl.
