74:5.1 For almost [[seven]] years after Adam' s arrival the [[Melchizedek receivers]] remained on [[duty]], but the time finally came when they turned the [[administration]] of world affairs over to Adam and returned to [[Jerusem]].
74:5.2 The [[farewell]] of the receivers occupied the whole of a day, and during the evening the [[individual]] [[Melchizedeks]] gave Adam and Eve their parting [[advice]] and best wishes. Adam had several times requested his advisers to remain on [[earth]] with him, but always were these [[petitions]] denied. The time had come when the [[Material Sons]] must [[assume]] full [[responsibility]] for the [[conduct]] of world affairs. And so, at midnight, the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:4._ADMINISTRATOR_SERAPHIM seraphic transports] of [[Satania]] left the [[planet]] with fourteen [[beings]] for [[Jerusem]], the [[translation]] of [[Van]] and [[Amadon]] occurring [[simultaneously]] with the departure of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29 twelve] [[Melchizedeks]].
74:5.3 All went fairly well for a time on [[Urantia]], and it appeared that Adam would, [[eventually]], be able to [[develop]] some [[plan]] for promoting the [[gradual]] extension of the Edenic [[civilization]]. Pursuant to the [[advice]] of the [[Melchizedeks]], he began to foster [[the arts]] of [[manufacture]] with the [[idea]] of [[developing]] [[Commerce|trade]] [[relations]] with the outside world. When Eden was disrupted, there were over one hundred [[primitive]] [[manufacturing]] plants in operation, and extensive trade [[relations]] with the near-by tribes had been [[established]].
74:5.4 For ages Adam and Eve had been instructed in the [[technique]] of improving a world in readiness for their specialized [[contributions]] to the advancement of [[evolutionary]] [[civilization]]; but now they were [[face]] to face with pressing [[problems]], such as the [[establishment]] of [[law]] and order in a world of savages, [[barbarians]], and semicivilized [[human]] [[beings]]. Aside from the cream of the [[earth]]'s [[population]], assembled in [[the Garden]], only a few [[groups]], here and there, were at all ready for the [[reception]] of the Adamic [[culture]].
74:5.5 Adam made a [[heroic]] and [[determined]] [[effort]] to [[establish]] a world [[government]], but he met with stubborn [[resistance]] at every turn. Adam had already put in operation a [[system]] of [[group]] [[control]] throughout [[Eden]] and had [[federated]] all of these companies into the Edenic league. But trouble, serious trouble, ensued when he went outside [[the Garden]] and sought to [[apply]] these [[ideas]] to the outlying [[tribes]]. The [[moment]] Adam's [[associates]] began to work outside [[the Garden]], they met the direct and well-[[planned]] [[resistance]] of [[Caligastia]] and [[Daligastia]]. The fallen Prince had been deposed as world ruler, but he had not been removed from the [[planet]]. He was still present on [[earth]] and able, at least to some extent, to resist all of Adam's plans for the [[rehabilitation]] of [[human]] [[society]]. Adam tried to warn the [[races]] against [[Caligastia]], but the task was made very [[difficult]] because his archenemy was [[invisible]] to the eyes of [[mortals]].
74:5.6 Even among the Edenites there were those [[confused]] [[minds]] that leaned toward the [[Caligastia]] teaching of unbridled [[personal]] [[liberty]]; and they caused Adam no end of trouble; always were they upsetting the best-laid [[plans]] for orderly [[progression]] and substantial [[development]]. He was finally compelled to withdraw his [[program]] for [[immediate]] socialization; he fell back on [[Van]]'s [[method]] of [[organization]], dividing the Edenites into companies of one hundred with captains over each and with lieutenants in charge of [[groups]] of [[ten]].
74:5.7 Adam and Eve had come to institute [[representative]] [[government]] in the place of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monarchy monarchial], but they found no [[government]] worthy of the [[name]] on the face of the whole [[earth]]. For the time being Adam abandoned all [[effort]] to [[establish]] [[representative]] [[government]], and before the collapse of the Edenic regime he succeeded in [[establishing]] almost one hundred outlying [[trade]] and [[social]] [[centers]] where strong [[individuals]] ruled in his [[name]]. Most of these [[centers]] had been organized aforetime by [[Van]] and [[Amadon]].
74:5.8 The sending of [[ambassadors]] from one [[tribe]] to another dates from the times of Adam. This was a great forward step in the [[evolution]] of [[government]].
