Lucifer entered the Great Hall of Ceremony and quietly sat down in the choir loft. As the chief lord over worship, he was in charge of leading the choir. He stood up, raised his hands and thousands of angels began to sing their praises. After a while, a golden door opened to the side and twenty four Elders entered the room. The Chief Elder had a belt containing twelve large stones each a different color.
Michael and Gabriel approached the Great Throne. Lucifer led the choir into a loud frenzy. " Holy Holy Holy is the Lord Almighty". The choir got louder. " Who was and is and is to come".
Smoke poured from the throne.
A voice came from the smoke. " The Lord your God gives Gabriel full authority as archangel". The voice continued. " He will be a ruling angel, wear the golden belt of majesty and the Sword of Truth as his insignia".
Gabriel stepped forward. The ranking Elder put the golden belt around him and then presented him with the Sword of Truth.
Then the voice of the Lord thundered. " Let him who has been created to serve, serve with all of his heart". There was a pause. " This is the will of the Lord".
" So be it" yelled all of the assembled angels.
Lucifer quickly and quietly left the Throne Room. He summoned Larus and told him that he wished to speak to the Council of Worship as soon as possible.
