Are you for real? You stated that in heaven there are reports that they have ranks? Whom told you such balony! First of all, whom is stating a heaven/ vs hell crap? If ya are real, and if there is such a thing called God, he does not judge. No person on Earth, could be entered in heaven, as we all are guilty of something. So where is Hitler? Same place we are all going after our last breath, whom knows where! We are all going to die sooner or later, we are all going to end up dead on Earth, so do you want to be a private, or a king, whom knows, whom cares. Let's get on in our lives, and worry about, what happens after we expire when it comes.

is this idea coming from dantes divine comedy? because he did rank hell in terms of levels, with the most evil closest to the devil, so im assuming that there is a level of rank according to dante since those in the lesser levels arent tormented by the devil (micromanagement), this isnt biblical, its simply literary

Its an interesting thought JustMe, I wonder if the 'ranking' in heaven is based on the closeness of being in harmony with Gods will. If we take satan as being the furthest from God and His Will and him being in hell then those who are nearest satan will be those who have strayed furthest from Gods Will... Dunno - Just a thought..!

Wikipedia has an interesting article on the heirarchy of devils: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchy_of_Devils With love in Christ.

Q. What is Hierarchy in Hell. I will give my opinion based on my personal study of the subject., A. Its My belief that the Bible gives accurate account of it the old testament has the description of Lucifer in it and says he was found with inequity in his heart pride and arrogance ,I believe he wanted to be God,it also says he was in a very high place with the Almighty before his demise. Satan is referenced in the new testment,and it says he was a deceiver and accuser of the earth and of heaven. "an accuser of the brethren" He was cast to earth W 1/3 of the host. ? 1st Lucifer,2nd Beelzbub and 3rd Satan? Who Really Knows . I do believe that it is structured by types of wickedness sin ,function and realize that even thou they are fallen nothing in existence is free from GODS ultimate authority. This is of course my own belief based on my own Bible studies .Fact is no one normal really knows !
