76:5.4 And this was a great [[mystery]] to [[Adam and Eve]]. They could [[comprehend]] the veiled [[promise]] of a possible special [[resurrection]] in this [[message]], and such a possibility greatly [[cheered]] them, but they could not grasp the [[meaning]] of the intimation that they might [[rest]] until the time of a [[resurrection]] associated with [[Michael]]'s [[personal]] appearance on [[Urantia]]. And so the Edenic pair always proclaimed that a Son of God would sometime come, and they [[communicated]] to their loved ones the [[belief]], at least the longing [[hope]], that the world of their blunders and sorrows might possibly be the realm whereon the [[Creator Son|ruler of this universe]] would [[elect]] to [[function]] as the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:5._BESTOWAL_OF_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD Paradise bestowal Son]. It seemed too [[good]] to be [[true]], but [[Adam]] did entertain the [[thought]] that strife-torn [[Urantia]] might, after all, turn out to be the most fortunate world in [[the system]] of [[Satania]], the [[envied]] [[planet]] of all [[Nebadon]].

76:5.5 [[Adam]] lived for 530 years; he died of what might be termed old age. His [[physical]] [[mechanism]] simply wore out; the [[process]] of [[disintegration]] [[gradually]] gained on the [[process]] of repair, and the [[inevitable]] end came. [[Eve]] had died nineteen years previously of a weakened [[heart]]. They were both [[buried]] in the [[center]] of the [[temple]] of [[divine]] [[service]] which had been built in [[accordance]] with their [[plans]] soon after the wall of the colony had been completed. And this was the [[origin]] of the [[practice]] of [[burying]] noted and [[pious]] men and women under the floors of the places of [[worship]].
