Time once more is profound.
In heaven, everything is different and new.
The different sound of worship is all around Zadok.
A loud melody of glory.
Angels and souls bringing praise to God.
It echoes all over the universe and stays there.
The exaltation cannot be cleared.
His glory stays for all to see.
God's name lifted on high, His holy ways honoured.
Zadok enjoys moving with them.
He is coming closer to supreme holiness.
But he knows he still must judge people.
Two persons, to be exact.
Up ahead, angels are joyfully singing together.
The choir is heard from all around the abyss:
'I trust in the Lord.
I will stay in His presence forever.
We worship the living God, the One who nourishes.
All things belong to You.
Prepare us for these greater days ahead.
In heaven, we long only for Your righteous hand.'
All their voices lifted up.
The sound is so beautiful Zadok shudders.
Then suddenly, the angel Selaphiel stands by his side.
The end has not come.
Zadok moves away from the holy choir.
He explores this universe between the heavens and hell.
Zadok follows the angel Selaphiel.
But the holy choir keeps on singing.
Their voices never stop bringing praise to the One.
Further on, another scene awaits.
Zadok can feel his crown becoming heavier.
'It is time now to judge the next person.'
'What is this person's name?'
The angel Selaphiel smiles, 'It is Penn.'
Zadok is surprised, 'The youngest son of Karina Sabitov?'
'Yes,' the angel Selaphiel nods.
'Penn Sabitov is different to his father.'
Zadok sees the angel look around with deep concern.
'We're at the right place?'
The angel signals, 'Look, there's the door.'
A very blue door stands in the centre ahead.
The door is easily opened.
The angel Selaphiel nods, 'Go through it.'
Surprised by this new feeling, Zadok touches the ground.
He realises he is alone.
Without thinking, he moves towards the firelight.
He has never felt so much peace and harmony.
The empty space is sacred.
For a few seconds, he hardly thinks.
All he can think about is to please God.
He now has more confidence.
Zadok will judge the others with justice.
That is what God wanted him to know here.
The room of peace disappears.
Zadok goes back to the angel Selaphiel.
'I am ready to judge Penn Sabitov,' Zadok says.
It happens just as before, but this time Zadok has more courage.
God is with him, even now as he judges.
