as someone else pointed out "the fire" could also be a reference to purgatory, which is said, in some versions, to be a fire that burns away your sins.. and you spend however long it takes in purgatory until you're purged, and only then you can ascend to heaven.. so he's bascially saying, "ok you've been in purgatory for 10,000 days, you can go straight on up."

and lol @ smeefsmeef.. wait.. that *was* supposed to be a joke, right? :p
