119:0.1 Chief of the [[Evening Stars]] of [[Nebadon]], I am assigned to [[Urantia]] by [[Gabriel]] on the mission of [[revealing]] the [[story]] of the [[seven]] bestowals of the [[Creator Son|Universe Sovereign]], [[Michael]] of Nebadon, and my name is ''Gavalia''. In making this presentation, I will adhere strictly to the [[limitations]] imposed by my commission.

In their [[desire]] to come close to the life [[experiences]] of their subordinate living [[creatures]], the various orders of the [[Paradise Sons]] are [[reflecting]] the [[divine]] [[nature]] of their [[Paradise]] [[parents]].

119:0.3 When the [[Eternal Son]] bestows a [[Creator Son]] upon a [[projected]] [[local universe]], that [[Creator Son]] assumes full [[responsibility]] for the completion, [[control]], and [[composure]] of that new [[universe]], including the [[solemn]] [[oath]] to the eternal [[Trinity]] not to [[assume]] full [[sovereignty]] of the new [[creation]] until his [[seven]] [[creature]] [[bestowals]] shall have been successfully completed and certified by the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] of [[jurisdiction]]. This [[obligation]] is [[assumed]] by every [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 Michael Son] who [[volunteers]] to go out from [[Paradise]] to [[engage]] in [[universe]] [[organization]] and [[creation]].

119:0.4 The [[purpose]] of these [[creature]] [[incarnations]] is to enable such [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 Creators] to become [[wise]], [[sympathetic]], [[just]], and [[understanding]] sovereigns. These [[divine Sons]] are [[innately]] [[just]], but they become [[understanding]]ly [[merciful]] as a result of these [[successive]] [[bestowal]] [[experiences]]; they are naturally [[merciful]], but these [[experiences]] make them [[merciful]] in new and additional ways. These [[bestowals]] are the last steps in their [[education]] and [[training]] for the [[sublime]] tasks of ruling the [[local universes]] in [[divine]] [[righteousness]] and by [[just]] [[judgment]].

These bestowals are not [[essential]] to the [[wise]], [[just]], and [[efficient]] [[management]] of a [[local universe]], but they are [[absolutely]] [[necessary]] to a [[fair]], merciful, and [[understanding]] [[administration]] of such a [[creation]], teeming with its varied [[forms]] of life and its myriads of [[intelligent]] but imperfect [[creatures]].

119:0.6 The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 Michael Sons] begin their [[work]] of [[universe]] [[organization]] with a full and [[just]] [[sympathy]] for the various orders of [[beings]] whom they have created. They have vast stores of [[mercy]] for all these differing [[creatures]], even [[pity]] for those who err and flounder in the [[selfish]] mire of their own production. But such [[endowments]] of [[justice]] and [[righteousness]] will not suffice in the estimate of the [[Ancients of Days]]. These [[triune]] rulers of the [[superuniverses]] will never certify a [[Creator Son]] as [[Universe Sovereign]] until he has really acquired the [[viewpoint]] of his own [[creatures]] by [[actual]] [[experience]] in the [[environment]] of their [[existence]] and as these very [[creatures]] themselves. In this way such Sons become [[intelligent]] and [[understanding]] rulers; they come to know the various [[groups]] over which they rule and exercise [[universe]] [[authority]]. By living [[experience]] they [[possess]] themselves of [[practical]] [[mercy]], [[fair]] [[judgment]], and the [[patience]] born of [[experiential]] [[creature]] [[existence]].

119:0.7 The [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]] is now ruled by a [[Creator Son]] who has completed his [[service]] of [[bestowal]]; he reigns in [[just]] and [[merciful]] [[supremacy]] over all the vast realms of his evolving and [[perfecting]] [[universe]].

His [[bestowals]] have occurred about one hundred and fifty million years apart, the last taking place on [[Urantia]] nineteen hundred years ago.
