37:1.2 Of the first order of ''Universe Aids'', the [[Bright and Morning Stars]], there is just [[one]] in each [[local universe]], and he is the first-born of all [[creatures]] [[native]] to a [[local universe]]. The [[Bright and Morning Star]] of our [[universe]] is known as [[Gabriel]] of [[Salvington]]. He is the chief [[executive]] of all [[Nebadon]], [[functioning]] as the [[personal]] [[representative]] of the [[Sovereign Son]] and as spokesman for his [[Divine Minister|creative consort]].

37:2.2 As chief [[executive]] of [[Nebadon]], [[Gabriel]] is ex officio chairman of, or [[observer]] at, most of the [[Salvington]] conclaves, and as many as one thousand of these are often in session [[simultaneously]]. The ''Brilliant Evening Stars'' represent [[Gabriel]] on these occasions; he cannot be in two places at the [[same time]], and these superangels [[compensate]] for this [[limitation]]. They [[perform]] an [[analogous]] [[service]] for the corps of the [[Trinity Teacher Sons]].

37:2.3 Though [[personally]] occupied with [[administrative]] [[duties]], [[Gabriel]] [[maintains]] contact with all other [[phases]] of [[universe]] life and affairs through the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]]. They always accompany him on his [[planetary]] tours and frequently go on special missions to the [[individual]] [[planets]] as his [[personal]] [[representatives]]. On such assignments they have sometimes been known as "the angel of the Lord."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Exodus#Chapter_.3] They frequently go to [[Uversa]] to [[represent]] the [[Bright and Morning Star]] before the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seven_superuniverses#15:12._THE_SUPREME_TRIBUNALS courts] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Seven_superuniverses#15:11._THE_DELIBERATIVE_ASSEMBLY assemblies] of the [[Ancients of Days]], but they seldom [[journey]] beyond the confines of [[Orvonton]].

37:2.4 The ''Brilliant Evening Stars'' are a [[unique]] twofold order, [[embracing]] some of [[created]] [[dignity]] and others of [[attained]] [[service]]. The [[Nebadon]] corps of these superangels now numbers 13,641. There are 4,832 of [[created]] [[dignity]], while 8,809 are [[ascendant]] [[spirits]] who have [[attained]] this goal of exalted [[service]]. Many of these [[ascendant]] Evening Stars started their [[universe]] [[careers]] as [[seraphim]]; others have [[ascended]] from [[unrevealed]] levels of [[creature]] life. As an [[attainment]] goal this high corps is never closed to [[ascension]] [[candidates]] so long as a [[universe]] is not settled in [[light and life]].

37:2.5 Both [[types]] of Brilliant Evening Stars are easily [[visible]] to [[morontia]] [[personalities]] and certain [[types]] of supermortal [[material]] [[beings]]. The created beings of this interesting and [[versatile]] order [[possess]] a [[spirit]] [[force]] which can be [[manifested]] [[independently]] of their [[personal]] [[presence]].

37:2.6 The head of these superangels is ''Gavalia'', the first-born of this order in [[Nebadon]]. Since the return of [[Christ]] [[Michael]] from his triumphant [[bestowal]] on [[Urantia]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120], Gavalia has been assigned to the [[ascendant]] [[mortal]] [[ministry]], and for the last nineteen hundred [[Urantia]] years his associate, ''Galantia'',  has [[maintained]] [[headquarters]] on [[Jerusem]], where he spends about half of his time. ''Galantia'' is the first of the [[ascendant]] superangels to [[attain]] this high estate.

37:2.7 No grouping or company [[organization]] of the Brilliant Evening Stars exists other than their customary [[association]] in pairs on many assignments. They are not extensively assigned on missions pertaining to the [[ascendant career]] of [[mortals]], but when thus commissioned, they never [[function]] alone. They always [[work]] in pairs—one a created being, the other an ascendant Evening Star.

37:2.8 One of the high [[duties]] of the Evening Stars is to accompany the [[Avonal]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD bestowal Sons] on their planetary missions, even as [[Gabriel]] accompanied [[Michael]] on his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 Urantia bestowal]. The two attending superangels are the ranking [[personalities]] of such missions, serving as cocommanders of the [[archangels]] and all others assigned to these undertakings. It is the senior of these superangel commanders who, at the significant [[time]] and age, bids the [[Avonal]] [[bestowal Son]], "Be about your brother's business."

37:2.9 Similar pairs of these superangels are assigned to the [[planetary]] corps of [[Trinity Teacher Sons]] that [[functions]] to [[establish]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_52#52:6._URANTIA.27S_POST-BESTOWAL_AGE postbestowal] or dawning [[Light and Life|spiritual age]] of an [[inhabited world]].

37:2.10 ''The Worlds of the Evening Stars''. The sixth [[group]] of [[seven]] [[Salvington]] worlds and their forty-two tributary [[satellites]] are assigned to the [[administration]] of the Brilliant Evening Stars. The [[seven]] primary worlds are presided over by the [[created]] orders of these superangels, while the tributary [[satellites]] are administered by [[ascendant]] Evening Stars.

37:2.11 The [[satellites]] of the first [[three]] worlds are devoted to the schools of the [[Teacher Sons]] and the Evening Stars [[dedicated]] to the [[spirit]] [[personalities]] of the [[local universe]].

37:3.1 ''Archangels'' are the [[offspring]] of the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Universe Mother Spirit]].

37:3.3 The archangel corps of [[Nebadon]] is directed by the first-born of this order, and in more recent times a divisional [[headquarters]] of the archangels has been [[maintained]] on [[Urantia]]. It is this [[unusual]] [[fact]] that soon arrests the [[attention]] of extra-Nebadon student visitors. Among their early [[observations]] of intrauniverse [[transactions]] is the [[discovery]] that many [[ascendant]] [[activities]] of the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]] are directed from the [[Jerusem|capital]] of a [[local system]], [[Satania]].

37:10.5 Always there is attached to the universe service a corps of [[ascending mortals]], including the [[glorified]] [[midway creatures]].
