heavenly court
Where angels convene
The heavenly court is the assembly of divine beings surrounding God in religious tradition—angels, archangels, and celestial attendants who serve and worship.
The image draws from earthly royal courts, with God as sovereign and angels as courtiers: The prophet saw a vision of the heavenly court.
In some traditions, the court includes saints or departed souls.
