Concept
January 16, 2009
Whether it be strictly biblical, the idle fantasies of Milton or Dante, or perhaps even the obsessions of Alexander Pope, the concept of a War in Heaven in which God himself was challenged by his second in command Lucifer, is literary dynamite.
The forces marshaled across the Elysian fields, the cries of death and carnage.
But, the War in Heaven, much like the wars of Earth, are not two sided. There was a third and equal portion of the Host that neither fought for God or against Lucifer. This Third Host, of which little record or literary mention exists, were those who chose not to fight.
They were not pacifists, they were not cowards, they were beings with another plan altogether. Whether they stayed neutral to protect the Earth during the conflict or simply refused to be drawn into diametric conflict, their purpose continues on today, standing as a mid point between two factions that will not think peace, cannot accept compromise, and likely will never stop fighting.
Led by imminent will and no clear design, they work to keep humanity evolving and moving forward so that someday the War will be forced to conclude.
