Seit dem Babylonischen Exil hat sich die Vorstellung vom Himmel als hintergründiger Thronsphäre zu einem kosmischen Himmel als Ort göttlicher Präsenz verändert. Diese Veränderung wird in den Schriften aus persischer Zeit deutlich, insbesondere in Gen 1, wo die Weltschöpfung und die Zusammenhänge kosmischer Räume betont werden. Diese kosmologische Perspektive beeinflusste die Vorstellung des Menschen in der göttlichen Schöpfung und seinen Kontakt zwischen dem himmlischen Heiligtum und der menschlichen Welt. Thomas Wagner kritisiert diese Transformationen.

The concept of the heavens as the underlying throne of the kingship shifted significantly since the Babylonian exile, evolving towards the interpretation of the cosmic heavens as a place of divine presence. This shift is evident in the explicit and implicit worldviews expressed in the writings of the Persian era. For the first time, a text emerges in this period, such as Genesis 1, which takes a comprehensive view of the creation and organization of cosmic spaces. This text serves as a pivotal point for cosmological ideas that would be critically developed by subsequent authors over the centuries. Particularly during the period of Persian dominance, these developments emphasized the significance of humanity in the divine creation and the interaction between the heavenly realm and the human world. Thomas Wagner critically examines these transformations.
