52:4.1 On [[normal]] and [[loyal]] [[planets]] this [[age]] opens with the [[mortal]] [[races]] blended and [[biologically]] fit. There are no [[race]] or [[color]] [[problems]]; [[literally]] all nations and races are of one blood. The brotherhood of man flourishes, and the nations are [[learning]] to live on [[earth]] in [[peace]] and tranquillity. Such a world stands on the eve of a great and culminating [[intellectual]] [[development]].

52:4.2 When an [[evolutionary world]] becomes thus ripe for the [[magisterial]] age, one of the high order of [[Avonal Son]]s makes his [[appearance]] on a [[magisterial mission]]. The [[Planetary Prince]] and the [[Material Sons]] are of [[local universe]] [[origin]]; the [[Magisterial Son]] hails from [[Paradise]].

52:4.3 When the [[Paradise]] [[Avonals]] come to the [[mortal]] [[spheres]] on [[judicial]] [[actions]], solely as [[dispensation]] ''adjudicators'', they are never [[incarnated]]. But when they come on [[magisterial missions]], at least the initial one, they are always [[incarnated]], though they do not [[experience]] [[birth]], neither do they die the [[death]] of the realm. They may live on for [[generations]] in those cases where they remain as rulers on certain [[planets]]. When their missions are concluded, they yield up their [[planetary]] lives and return to their former [[status]] of divine sonship.

52:4.4 Each new [[dispensation]] extends the [[horizon]] of [[revealed]] [[religion]], and the [[Magisterial Son]]s extend the [[revelation]] of [[truth]] to portray the affairs of the [[local universe]] and all its [tributaries].

52:4.5 After the initial [[visitation]] of a [[Magisterial Son]] the [[races]] soon [[effect]] their [[economic]] [[liberation]]. The daily [[work]] required to [[sustain]] one's [[independence]] would be [[represented]] by two and one-half hours of your time. It is [[perfectly]] safe to [[liberate]] such [[ethical]] and [[intelligent]] [[mortals]]. Such refined peoples well know how to utilize [[leisure]] for [[self]]-improvement and [[planetary]] [[advancement]]. This age [[witnesses]] the further [[purification]] of the racial stocks by the restriction of [[reproduction]] among the less fit and poorly [[endowed]] [[individuals]].

52:4.6 The [[political]] [[government]] and social [[administration]] of the [[races]] continue to improve, [[self-government]] being fairly well [[established]] by the end of this age. By [[self-government]] we refer to the highest [[type]] of [[representative]] [[government]]. Such worlds advance and [[honor]] only those [[leaders]] and rulers who are most fit to bear [[social]] and [[political]] [[responsibilities]].

52:4.7 During this [[epoch]] the [[majority]] of the world [[mortals]] are [[Adjuster]] indwelt. But even yet the [[bestowal]] of divine Monitors is not always [[universal]]. The [[Adjusters]] of [[fusion]] [[destiny]] are not yet [[bestowed]] upon all [[planetary]] [[mortals]]; it is still [[necessary]] for the [[Free will|will]] [[creatures]] to choose the [[Mystery Monitors]].

52:4.8 During the closing ages of this [[dispensation]], [[society]] begins to return to more [[simplified]] [[forms]] of living. The [[complex]] [[nature]] of an [[advancing]] [[civilization]] is running its [[course]], and [[mortals]] are [[learning]] to live more [[naturally]] and [[effectively]]. And this [[trend]] increases with each [[succeeding]] [[epoch]]. This is the age of the flowering of [[art]], [[music]], and higher [[learning]]. The [[physical sciences]] have already reached their height of [[development]]. The termination of this age, on an [[ideal]] world, [[witnesses]] the fullness of a great [[religious]] [[awakening]], a world-wide [[spiritual]] [[enlightenment]]. And this extensive arousal of the [[spiritual]] [[natures]] of the [[races]] is the [[signal]] for the arrival of the [[bestowal Son]] and for the [[inauguration]] of the fifth [[mortal]] [[epoch]].

52:4.9 On many worlds it [[develops]] that the [[planet]] is not made ready for a [[bestowal Son]] by one [[magisterial mission]]; in that [[event]] there will be a second, even a [[succession]] of [[Magisterial Sons]], each of whom will advance the [[races]] from one [[dispensation]] to another until the [[planet]] is made ready for the gift of the [[bestowal Son]]. On the second and subsequent missions the [[Magisterial Sons]] may or may not be [[incarnated]]. But no matter how many [[Magisterial Sons]] may appear—and they may also come as such after the [[bestowal Son]]—the [[advent]] of each one marks the end of one [[dispensation]] and the beginning of another.

52:4.10 These [[dispensations]] of the [[Magisterial Sons]] cover anywhere from twenty-five thousand to fifty thousand years of [[Urantia]] time. Sometimes such an [[epoch]] is much shorter and in rare instances even longer. But in the fullness of [[time]] one of these same [[Magisterial Sons]] will be born as the [[Paradise]] [[bestowal Son]].
