In [[medieval]] [[Christian]] [[cosmology]], the '''Empyrean''' was the name given to the outermost part of [[Heaven]], beyond the [[star]]s and even beyond the 'first mover' or ''primum mobile''. Since [[time]] was thought to be created by the motion of the ''primum mobile'', the Empyrean was conjectured to be outside time - an eternal place where [[God]] and other [[divine]] beings dwelt.
