39:4.1 The fourth order of seraphim are assigned to the [[administrative]] [[duties]] of the [[local systems]]. They are [[indigenous]] to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system capitals] but are stationed in large [[numbers]] on the [[Mansion Worlds|mansion]] and [[morontia]] [[spheres]] and on the [[inhabited worlds]]. Fourth-order seraphim are by [[nature]] [[endowed]] with unusual [[administrative]] [[ability]]. They are the able assistants of the directors of the lower divisions of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#PAPER_33:_ADMINISTRATION_OF_THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE universe government] of a [[Creator Son]] and are mainly occupied with the affairs of the [[local systems]] and their component worlds. They are organized for [[service]] as follows:

They are organized for [[service]] as follows:

39:4.2 1. ''Administrative Assistants''. These able seraphim are the [[immediate]] assistants of a [[System Sovereign]], a primary [[Lanonandek]] Son. They are invaluable aids in the [[execution]] of the intricate details of the [[executive]] [[work]] of the [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#PAPER_33:_ADMINISTRATION_OF_THE_LOCAL_UNIVERSE system headquarters]. They also serve as the [[personal]] [[agents]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_45#45:3._THE_SYSTEM_GOVERNMENT system rulers], [[journeying]] back and forth in large [[numbers]] to the various [[transition]] worlds and to the [[inhabited planets]], [[executing]] many commissions for the welfare of [[the system]] and in the [[physical]] and [[biologic]] interests of its [[inhabited worlds]].

39:4.3 These same seraphic [[administrators]] are also attached to the [[governments]] of the world rulers, the [[Planetary Princes]]. The [[majority]] of [[planets]] in a given [[universe]] are under the [[jurisdiction]] of a secondary [[Lanonandek]] Son, but on certain worlds, such as [[Urantia]], there has been a [[Default|miscarriage]] of the [[divine]] plan. In the [[event]] of the defection of a [[Planetary Prince]], these seraphim become attached to the [[Melchizedek]] receivers and their successors in [[planetary]] [[authority]]. The present acting ruler of [[Urantia]] is assisted by a corps of one thousand of this [[versatile]] order of seraphim.

39:4.4 2. ''Justice Guides''. These are the [[angels]] who present the summary of [[evidence]] concerning the [[eternal]] welfare of [[men]] and angels when such matters come up for [[adjudication]] in the [[tribunals]] of [[a system]] or a [[planet]]. They [[prepare]] the [[statements]] for all preliminary hearings involving [[mortal]] [[survival]], [[statements]] which are subsequently carried with the [[records]] of such cases to the higher [[tribunals]] of the [[universe]] and the [[superuniverse]]. The [[defense]] of all cases of doubtful [[survival]] is [[prepared]] by these seraphim, who have a [[perfect]] [[understanding]] of all the details of every feature of every count in the [[indictments]] drawn by the [[administrators]] of [[universe]] [[justice]].

39:4.5 It is not the mission of these [[angels]] to defeat or to delay [[justice]] but rather to [[insure]] that unerring [[justice]] is dealt out with [[generous]] [[mercy]] in [[fairness]] to all [[creatures]]. These seraphim often [[function]] on the [[local worlds]], commonly appearing before the referee trios of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_25#25:2._THE_UNIVERSAL_CONCILIATORS conciliating commissions]—the [[courts]] for minor misunderstandings. Many who at one time served as [[justice]] guides in the lower realms later appear as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39#39:2._SUPERIOR_SERAPHIM ''Voices of Mercy''] in the higher [[spheres]] and on [[Salvington]].

39:4.6 In the [[Lucifer rebellion]] in [[Satania]] very few of the [[justice]] guides were lost, but more than one quarter of the other [[administrator]] seraphim and of the lower orders of seraphic ministers were misled and deluded by the [[sophistries]] of unbridled [[personal]] [[liberty]].

39:4.7 3. ''Interpreters of Cosmic Citizenship''. When [[ascending mortals]] have completed the [[mansion world]] [[training]], the first student apprenticeship in the [[universe career]], they are permitted to [[enjoy]] the transient [[satisfactions]] of [[relative]] [[maturity]]—[[citizenship]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 system capital]. While the [[attainment]] of each [[ascendant]] goal is a [[factual]] [[achievement]], in the larger sense such goals are simply milestones on the long [[Ascension Career|ascending path]] to [[Paradise]]. But however [[relative]] such successes may be, no [[evolutionary creature]] is ever denied the full though [[transient]] [[satisfaction]] of goal [[attainment]]. Ever and anon there is a pause in the [[Paradise]] [[ascent]], a short breathing spell, during which [[universe]] [[horizons]] stand still, [[creature]] [[status]] is stationary, and the [[personality]] tastes the sweetness of goal [[fulfillment]].

39:4.8 The first of such periods in the [[career]] of a mortal ascender occurs on the [[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 capital of a local system]. During this pause you will, as a [[citizen]] of [[Jerusem]], attempt to [[express]] in [[creature]] life those [[things]] which you have acquired during the eight preceding life [[experiences]]—embracing [[Urantia]] and the [[seven]] [[mansion worlds]].

39:4.9 The seraphic [[interpreters]] of [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]] [[guide]] the new citizens of [[the system]] capitals and quicken their [[appreciation]] of the [[responsibilities]] of [[universe]] [[government]]. These seraphim are also closely [[associated]] with the [[Material Sons]] in [[the system]] [[administration]], while they portray the [[responsibility]] and [[morality]] of [[cosmic]] [[citizenship]] to the [[material]] [[mortals]] on the [[inhabited worlds]].

39:4.14 The keys of the [[kingdom of heaven]] are: [[sincerity]], more [[sincerity]], and more [[sincerity]]. All men have these keys. [[Men]] use them—advance in [[spirit]] status—by [[decisions]], by more decisions, and by more decisions. The highest [[moral]] [[choice]] is the choice of the highest possible [[value]], and always—in any [[sphere]], in all of them—this is to choose to [[do the will of God]]. If man thus [[chooses]], he is great, though he be the [[humblest]] [[citizen]] of [[Jerusem]] or even the least of [[mortals]] on [[Urantia]].

39:4.15 5. ''The Transporters''. These are the [[transport]] seraphim who [[function]] in the [[local systems]]. In [[Satania]], your system, they carry passengers back and forth from [[Jerusem]] and otherwise serve as [[interplanetary]] transporters. Seldom does a day pass in which a transport seraphim of [[Satania]] does not deposit some student visitor or some other [[traveler]] of [[spirit]] or semispirit [[nature]] on the shores of [[Urantia]]. These very space [[traversers]] will sometime carry you to and from the various worlds of the[[ system headquarters]] group, and when you have finished the [[Jerusem]] assignment, they will carry you forward to [[Edentia]]. But under no circumstances will they carry you backward to the world of [[human]] [[origin]]. A [[mortal]] never returns to his [[native]] [[planet]] during the [[dispensation]] of his [[temporal]] [[existence]], and if he should return during a subsequent dispensation, he would be escorted by a transport seraphim of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33#33:6._GENERAL_ADMINISTRATION universe headquarters] [[group]].

39:4.16 6. ''The Recorders''. These seraphim are the keepers of the threefold [[records]] of the [[local systems]]. The temple of records on a system capital is a [[unique]] [[structure]], one third [[material]], constructed of luminous [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal metals] and [[crystal]]s; one third [[morontial]], fabricated of the [[liaison]] of [[spiritual]] and [[material]] [[energy]] but beyond the range of [[mortal]] [[vision]]; and one third [[spiritual]]. The recorders of this order preside over and [[maintain]] this threefold [[system]] of [[records]]. [[Ascending mortals]] will at first consult the [[material]] [[archives]], [[Material Sons]] and the higher [[transition]] [[beings]] consult those of the [[morontia]] halls, while seraphim and the higher [[spirit]] [[personalities]] of the realm peruse the [[records]] of the [[spirit]] section.

39:4.18 It is just such [[friendly]] [[relationships]] as these that so endear a [[system capital]] to the [[ascending mortals]]. On [[Jerusem]] you will find the first intermingling of [[Material Sons]], [[angels]], and [[ascending]] [[pilgrims]]. Here fraternize [[beings]] who are wholly [[spiritual]] and semispiritual and [[individuals]] just emerging from [[material]] [[existence]]. [[Mortal]] [[forms]] are there so modified and [[human]] ranges of [[light]] [[reaction]] so extended that all are able to [[enjoy]] [[mutual]] [[recognition]] and [[sympathetic]] [[personality]] [[understanding]].
