Honor & Rank

As your elohim continues to faithfully serve the Most High will reward your elohim by bestowing Honor upon them. This Honor accumulates which periodically leads to the elohim being promoted in Rank. Each time your elohim increases in Rank, several things will happen. Your elohim will gain more Seeds of growth potential. Depending on the elohim’s Order, they will be able to learn new Maneuvers, Spiritual Effects, and Songs. At certain Ranks, your elohim will increase in Tier, becoming a 2nd Heaven elohim or even greater. Table 8 shows how much Honor is needed to advance to each Rank.

Key: k = 1,000 {Ex. 105k = 105,000}

An elohim can never advance more than one Rank at a time. If their honor is enough that they would advance more than one Rank then instead they will gain Honor up to the point of being 1 Honor short of the second Rank increase. All Honor beyond that is forfeited. 

Ex. Herald's first Mission would have given 350 Honor. Because that would advance Herald more than 1 Rank at one time, the Host tells the player who played Herald that Herald can only gain 299. The player checks this with Table 5 and sees that at 100 Honor Herald would promote to Rank:1 and 300 would have promoted Herald to Rank:2. The player changes Herald's current Honor to 299 and under Next Rank the player writes 300.

Why Are There Elohim of Different Ranks? 

In “Allies of Majesty” it is assumed not all elohim have been called to participate in active service regarding the affairs of man on the earth. Many elohim happily serve the Most High peaceably in the third heaven or throughout the universe. Power and authority in other ways that don't require increasing power, authority, and influence. When an elohim steps into the role of a Watcher, they will inevitably come into conflict with others. They will need power, authority, and influence to confront these challenges. Some elohim were called early to replenish the numbers of the Watchers and others were called later. As these new Watchers faithfully serve the Most High he recognizes their loyalty and honors their services. Accumulating Honor leads to promotions in Rank. 

While Rank is respected, none of the holy elohim look down on another elohim with a lower Rank. For holy elohim, it isn’t about aggrandizing one's self. It is about serving the Most High. Those with the wrong focus soon find they are serving their own goal in opposition to the Most High.

Some elohim were created with great power from the beginning. Many of those are now among the rebels, not having the maturity that comes with persisting through times of weakness and vulnerability.
