| '''Archangels''' are the offspring of the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Universe Mother Spirit]].

− | | + | ==Description== |
| Archangels are one of the few groups of local universe personalities who are not normally under the jurisdiction of [[Gabriel]]. They are not in any [[manner]] concerned with the routine administration of the universe, being dedicated to the work of creature survival and to the furtherance of the [[ascension career|ascending career]] of the mortals of [[time]] and [[space]]. While not ordinarily subject to the direction of the [[Bright and Morning Star]], the archangels do sometimes function by his [[authority]]. They also collaborate with others of the Universe Aids, such as the [[Brilliant Evening Stars|Evening Stars]], as is illustrated by certain transactions depicted in the [[narrative]] of life transplantation on your world. | | Archangels are one of the few groups of local universe personalities who are not normally under the jurisdiction of [[Gabriel]].

− | | + | ==Divisional Headquarters== |
| 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 capital of a local system, [[Satania]]. On further examination they discover that certain archangel activities are directed from a small and apparently insignificant inhabited world called Urantia. And then ensues the [[revelation]] of Michael's [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] on Urantia and their immediately quickened interest in you and your lowly sphere. | | 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]].

| In general, the archangels are assigned to the service and ministry of the [[Avonal]] order of sonship, but not until they have passed through extensive preliminary training in all phases of the work of the various ministering spirits. A corps of one hundred accompanies every Paradise [[bestowal Son]] to an inhabited world, being temporarily assigned to him for the duration of such a bestowal. If the [[Magisterial Son]] should become temporary ruler of the planet, these archangels would act as the directing heads of all [[celestial]] life on that sphere. | | In general, the archangels are assigned to the service and ministry of the [[Avonal]] order of sonship, but not until they have passed through extensive preliminary training in all phases of the work of the various ministering spirits.

− | | + | ==Bestowal Aids== |
| Two senior archangels are always assigned as the personal aids of a Paradise Avonal on all planetary missions, whether involving judicial actions, magisterial missions, or bestowal incarnations. When this Paradise Son has finished the judgment of a realm and the dead are called to record (the so-called resurrection), it is literally true that the seraphic guardians of the slumbering personalities respond to "the voice of the archangel." The roll call of a dispensation termination is promulgated by an attendant archangel. This is the archangel of the resurrection, sometimes referred to as the "archangel of Michael." | | Two senior archangels are always assigned as the personal aids of a Paradise Avonal on all planetary missions, whether involving judicial actions, magisterial missions, or bestowal incarnations.

− | ==The Worlds of the Archangels== The seventh group of the encircling [[Salvington]] worlds, with their associated satellites, is assigned to the archangels. Sphere number one and all of its six tributary satellites are occupied by the [[personality]] record keepers. This enormous corps of recorders busy themselves with keeping straight the record of each mortal of time from the [[moment]] of birth up through the universe career until such an [[individual]] either leaves Salvington for the [[superuniverse]] regime or is "blotted out of recorded existence" by the mandate of the [[Ancients of Days]]. | + | ==The Worlds of the Archangels== |
