Visually the scale of what lay before them was enormous, and there must have been tens of thousands of spirits in the Hallway alone, with countless more within the depths of the view-port itself. Yet the hallway felt quite spacious, and the view-port appeared entirely uncluttered.

Gabriel spoke again after a long pause during which he had surveyed his surroundings from horizon to horizon. “Few places in God’s wide universe overflow with Life, Light and Love as does this place. Though it may not be obvious at first, what lies before you is a representation of the past, present, and future, and not just the history of the present universe.

“Here is that place in the Mind of God that will stand beyond the end of the present Song of Creation and all that was created through it. For all that you see here is based on Faith, Hope, and Love, and these will endure.

Gabriel continued as he pointed to his far left. “The edge of what we see of this view-port represents that point at which God spoke forth His Word and began the present Song of Creation. This is the beginning point of all things for our present creation reality. Just beyond that is one of several special access gates to a unique place that is outside of time.
