The Noblet
It's a shame the great angel is cross-eyed. He also looks rather bored with the whole proceedure, as if it were the umpteenth time of doing it.
The 'droplets' draw my attention, they only appear shaped like this in two other cards, the Sun and the Moon, as though
falling up from earth. I'm wondering if it's because a celestial presence was thought to draw forth moisture from the earthly realms. If so, why? Are the Waters of Life about to merge with another realm, perhaps an instinctive response to awareness of contact with something from another level of existence (or experience).....
The fellow in the foreground rising from the tomb seems to have a tonsure (bald patch on top of his head). If he's not priestly, as shaveling suspects, then perhaps he's a good catholic/christian - one who has followed the church rules, therefore the angel specifically calls him forth. .....to a well earned heavenly life?
I've no idea what the other two people are meant to be doing, they look both hopeful and unsure. But as all three humans are naked, maybe they too are 'dead' and are hoping to get the call, but nothing is happening for them.
How it may be read.....
I think it may be that you'll get judged on personal merit and found worthy. If you've 'done right', in whatever the circumstances are, you'll move on to the next level, if not you'll stay put. This meaning might apply to any endeavour or undertaking - or even an ambition.
If the card is reversed or accompanied by 'negative' cards, it could mean that the 'move' is delayed or denied. Or that the person is perhaps stuck in a rut - just not trying, or not doing their best.

Interestingly I just found this. See Ross' post (1) re. Judgment/Fame
HERE..
Exerpt from Ross' post: "....The allegory is, that just as the Stars are outshone by the Moon, and the Moon by the Sun, so the World is bigger than the Sun and Fame, shown with the Trumpet, is worth more than the World: so much that when a man is gone, he continues to live through fame, when he has performed glorious acts"
