Monotheist eschatology. Or ontology or cosmology, depending on which word you think sounds coolest. Specifically, it was (most likely) originally conceived as a way to divide angels by 'power level', proving in fact that not even the great theological thinkers of yore could contain arguments about whose angel was better. It's kind of cool to see it get used in something outside of that role!
