TIME-SPACE-IMAGE-SHADOW | The Urantia Book: The Bestowals of Christ Michael + Immanuel + The Universal Father: The GOD of Gods [The EL of Elohim] & The WORDs of His POWER (357.3) 32:0.3 Urantia belongs to a local universe [Nebadon] whose sovereign is the God-man of Nebadon, Jesus of Nazareth and Michael of Salvington. And all of Michael’s plans for this local universe were fully approved by the Paradise Trinity before he ever embarked upon the supreme adventure of space. (360.1) 32:2.12 The universe of Nebadon now swings far to the south and east in the superuniverse circuit of Orvonton. The nearest neighboring universes are: Avalon, Henselon, Sanselon, Portalon, Wolvering, Fanoving, and Alvoring. Organization of the Superuniverses | (165.6) 15:2.1 Only the Universal Father knows the location and actual number of inhabited worlds in space; he calls them all by name and number. I can give only the approximate number of inhabited or inhabitable planets, for some local universes have more worlds suitable for intelligent life than others. Nor have all projected local universes been organized. Therefore the estimates which I offer are solely for the purpose of affording some idea of the immensity of the material creation. (166.1) 15:2.2 There are seven superuniverses in the grand universe, and they are constituted approximately as follows: (166.2) 15:2.3 1. The System. The basic unit of the supergovernment consists of about one thousand inhabited or inhabitable worlds. Blazing suns, cold worlds, planets too near the hot suns, and other spheres not suitable for creature habitation are not included in this group. These one thousand worlds adapted to support life are called a system, but in the younger systems only a comparatively small number of these worlds may be inhabited. Each inhabited planet is presided over by a Planetary Prince, and each local system has an architectural sphere as its headquarters and is ruled by a System Sovereign. (166.3) 15:2.4 2. The Constellation. One hundred systems (about 100,000 inhabitable planets) make up a constellation. Each constellation has an architectural headquarters sphere and is presided over by three Vorondadek Sons, the Most Highs. Each constellation also has a Faithful of Days in observation, an ambassador of the Paradise Trinity. (166.4) 15:2.5 3. The Local Universe. One hundred constellations (about 10,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a local universe. Each local universe has a magnificent architectural headquarters world and is ruled by one of the co-ordinate Creator Sons of God of the order of Michael. Each universe is blessed by the presence of a Union of Days, a representative of the Paradise Trinity. (166.5) 15:2.6 4. The Minor Sector. One hundred local universes (about 1,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a minor sector of the superuniverse government; it has a wonderful headquarters world, wherefrom its rulers, the Recents of Days, administer the affairs of the minor sector. There are three Recents of Days, Supreme Trinity Personalities, on each minor sector headquarters. (166.6) 15:2.7 5. The Major Sector. One hundred minor sectors (about 100,000,000,000 inhabitable worlds) make one major sector. Each major sector is provided with a superb headquarters and is presided over by three Perfections of Days, Supreme Trinity Personalities. (166.7) 15:2.8 6. The Superuniverse. Ten major sectors (about 1,000,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a superuniverse. Each superuniverse is provided with an enormous and glorious headquarters world and is ruled by three Ancients of Days. (166.8) 15:2.9 7. The Grand Universe. Seven superuniverses make up the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven trillion inhabitable worlds plus the architectural spheres and the one billion inhabited spheres of Havona. The superuniverses are ruled and administered indirectly and reflectively from Paradise by the Seven Master Spirits. The billion worlds of Havona are directly administered by the Eternals of Days, one such Supreme Trinity Personality presiding over each of these perfect spheres. (167.1) 15:2.10 Excluding the Paradise-Havona spheres, the plan of universe organization provides for the following units: (167.2) 15:2.11 Superuniverses. . . . . . . . . . . . 7 (167.3) 15:2.12 Major sectors. . . . . . . . . . . . . 70 (167.4) 15:2.13 Minor sectors. . . . . . . . . . . . 7,000 (167.5) 15:2.14 Local universes . . . . . . . . . 700,000 (167.6) 15:2.15 Constellations . . . . . . . . .70,000,000 (167.7) 15:2.16 Local systems. . . . . . . . 7,000,000,000 (167.8) 15:2.17 Inhabitable planets . . 7,000,000,000,000 (167.9) 15:2.18 Each of the seven superuniverses is constituted, approximately, as follows: (167.10) 15:2.19 One system embraces, approximately. . . . . . . . . . . . . 1,000 worlds (167.11) 15:2.20 One constellation (100 systems) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .100,000 worlds (167.12) 15:2.21 One universe (100 constellations) . . . . . . . . . . . 10,000,000 worlds (167.13) 15:2.22 One minor sector (100 universes) . . . . . . . . . 1,000,000,000 worlds (167.14) 15:2.23 One major sector (100 minor sectors) . . . . 100,000,000,000 worlds (167.15) 15:2.24 One superuniverse (10 major sectors) . . .1,000,000,000,000 worlds (167.16) 15:2.25 All such estimates are approximations at best, for new systems are constantly evolving while other organizations are temporarily passing out of material existence. John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham [AbPnoyHam] was [born], I AM. [I shall Return? NO](409.1) 37:3.4 “I WILL Come Again.” youtube/watch?v=KOrJw7HelMs RESURRECTION ROLL CALL: The Attainment of Immortality + “Chariots of Fire” | John 17:17 Father, Sanctify them through Thy Truth: Thy Word is Truth. youtube/watch?v=WTKSMS8h0Rc The Salem Teachings in Arabia | (1050.6) 95:7.1 The Melchizedek teachings of the One God became established in the Arabian desert at a comparatively recent date. As in Greece, so in Arabia the Salem missionaries failed because of their misunderstanding of Machiventa’s instructions regarding overorganization. But they were not thus hindered by their interpretation of his admonition against all efforts to extend the gospel through military force or civil compulsion. (1050.7) 95:7.2 Not even in China or Rome did the Melchizedek teachings fail more completely than in this desert region so very near Salem itself. Long after the majority of the peoples of the Orient and Occident had become respectively Buddhist and Christian, the desert of Arabia continued as it had for thousands of years. Each tribe worshiped its olden fetish, and many individual families had their own household gods. Long the struggle continued between Babylonian Ishtar, Hebrew Yahweh, Iranian Ahura, and Christian Father of the Lord Jesus Christ. Never was one concept able fully to displace the others. (1051.1) 95:7.3 Here and there throughout Arabia were families and clans that held on to the hazy idea of the One God. Such groups treasured the traditions of Melchizedek, Abraham, Moses, and Zoroaster. There were numerous centers that might have responded to the Jesusonian gospel, but the Christian missionaries of the desert lands were an austere and unyielding group in contrast with the compromisers and innovators who functioned as missionaries in the Mediterranean countries. Had the followers of Jesus taken more seriously his injunction to “go into all the world and preach the gospel,” and had they been more gracious in that preaching, less stringent in collateral social requirements of their own devising, then many lands would gladly have received the simple gospel of the carpenter’s son, Arabia among them. (1051.2) 95:7.4 Despite the fact that the great Levantine monotheisms failed to take root in Arabia, this desert land was capable of producing a faith which, though less demanding in its social requirements, was nonetheless monotheistic. (1051.3) 95:7.5 There was only one factor of a tribal, racial, or national nature about the primitive and unorganized beliefs of the desert, and that was the peculiar and general respect which almost all Arabian tribes were willing to pay to a certain black stone fetish in a certain temple at Mecca. This point of common contact and reverence subsequently led to the establishment of the Islamic religion. What Yahweh, the volcano spirit, was to the Jewish Semites, the Kaaba stone became to their Arabic cousins. (1051.4) 95:7.6 The strength of Islam has been its clear-cut and well-defined presentation of Allah as the One and Only Deity; its weakness, the association of military force with its promulgation, together with its degradation of woman. But it has steadfastly held to its presentation of the One Universal Deity of all, “who knows the invisible and the visible. He is the merciful and the compassionate.” “Truly God is plenteous in goodness to all men.” “And when I am sick, it is he who heals me.” “For whenever as many as three speak together, God is present as a fourth,” for is he not “the first and the last, also the seen and the hidden”? (1009.2) 92:5.8 There have been hundreds upon hundreds of religious leaders in the million-year human history of Urantia from Onagar to Guru Nanak. (409.1) 37:3.4 Do you grasp the significance of the fact that your lowly and confused planet has become a divisional headquarters for the universe administration and direction of certain archangel activities having to do with the Paradise ascension scheme? This undoubtedly presages the future concentration of other ascendant activities on the bestowal world of Michael and lends a tremendous and solemn import to the Master’s personal promise, “I will come again.” (828.1) 74:0.1 ADAM AND EVE arrived on Urantia, from the year A.D. 1934, 37,848 years ago. It was in the midseason when the Garden was in the height of the bloom that they arrived. At high noon and unannounced, the Two Seraphic Transports, accompanied by the Jerusem personnel intrusted with the transportation of the biologic uplifters to Urantia, settled slowly to the surface of the revolving planet in the Vicinity of The Temple of The Universal Father. https://youtube/watch?v=RdRc0Y0Af8U THE SUBMERGED EDEN | The Garden Site is a long narrow peninsula - almost an island - projecting westward from the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. (824.5) 73:5.1 At the center of the Edenic Peninsula was the exquisite stone temple of The Universal Father, the Sacred Shrine of the Garden. (825.6) 73:6.1 In the center of the Garden temple was the long-guarded Tree of Life, whose leaves were for the Healing of The Nations. The GOD of Gods [The EL of Elohim] (1685.3) 150:8.5 Jesus recited, “True it is that you are Yahweh [YHWH], our GOD and the GOD of our fathers; our KING and The KING of our fathers; our SAVIOR and The SAVIOR of our fathers; our CREATOR and The ROCK of our Salvation; our help and our deliverer. Your Name is from Everlasting, and there is no GOD beside you. A new song did they that were delivered sing to your Name by the seashore; together did all praise and own you King and say, Yahweh will Reign, world without end. Blessed is The LORD who saves Israel.” youtube/watch?v=SmBTkKPIxWg 7. The Attainment of Immortality + “Chariots of Fire” | (1212.3) 110:7.2 When a human being has completed the circles of cosmic achievement, and further, when the final choosing of the mortal will permits the Adjuster to complete the association of human identity with the morontial soul during evolutionary and physical life, then do such consummated liaisons of soul and Adjuster go on independently to the mansion worlds, and there is issued the mandate from Uversa which provides for the immediate fusion of the Adjuster and the morontial soul. This fusion during physical life instantly consumes the material body; the human beings who might witness such a spectacle would only observe the translating mortal disappear “in Chariots of Fire.” (1212.4) 110:7.3 Most Adjusters who have translated their subjects from Urantia were highly experienced and of record as previous indwellers of numerous mortals on other spheres. Remember, Adjusters gain valuable indwelling experience on planets of the loan order; it does not follow that Adjusters only gain experience for advanced work in those mortal subjects who fail to survive. (1250.1) 114:0.1 THE Most Highs rule in the kingdoms of men through many celestial forces and agencies but chiefly through the Ministry of Seraphim. (1250.2) 114:0.2 At noon today the roll call of planetary angels, guardians, and others on Urantia was 501,234,619 pairs of seraphim. There were assigned to my command two hundred seraphic hosts — 597,196,800 pairs of seraphim, or 1,194,393,600 individual angels. The registry, however, shows 1,002,469,238 individuals; it follows therefore that 191,924,362 angels were absent from this world on transport, messenger, and death duty. (On Urantia there are about the same number of cherubim as seraphim, and they are similarly organized.) youtube/watch?v=RdRc0Y0Af8U | youtube/watch?v=iv39qqc1AEU (90.3) 8:0.3 We are now face to face with the eternity origin of the Infinite Spirit, the Third Person of Deity. Exodus 24:9 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10 and they saw The GOD of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself. https://youtube/watch?v=kv3LqkJZ59s World English Bible | Isaiah 42:8 I AM YHWH (The LORD). That is My Name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images. Mark 13:32 But about that Day [Araw] or Hour [uRas] no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only The Father. Acts 1:7 He said to them: IT IS not for you to know the times or dates The Father has set by His own authority. youtube/watch?v=WLqu6nIITJ8 (97.2) 8:6.8 [Presented on Urantia by a Divine Counselor of Uversa commissioned by the Ancients of Days to portray the nature and work of the Infinite Spirit.] + (671.6) 58:7.13 [Presented by a member of the Urantia Life Carrier Corps now resident on the planet.] + (612.1) 53:9.9 [Presented by Manovandet Melchizedek, onetime attached to the receivership of Urantia.] + (1259.3) 114:7.18 [Presented by the Chief of Seraphim stationed on Urantia.] + (466.5) 41:10.6 [Presented by an Archangel in collaboration with the Chief of Nebadon Power Centers.]
