Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post

Breaking News and Opinion on The Huffington Post ;..  The ancient world at this time understood the relationship of earth to heaven as one of moving up and down. This is not only directional, as if one is on an escalator -- though the Old Testament patriarch Jacob did have a vision of a ladder that went up to heaven (Genesis 28:10-19) and some tried to build a ziggurat to heaven, known popularly as theTower of Babel (Genesis 11:5-8) -- but also an act of moving from imperfection below toward perfection above.
This perception of the universe lasted for millennia.
