20:2.2 We have [[reasons]] for believing that the [[total]] [[number]] of ''Magisterial Sons'' in the [[grand universe]] is about one billion. They are a self-governing order, being directed by their supreme council on [[Paradise]], which is made up of [[experienced]] Avonals drawn from the [[services]] of all [[universes]]. But when assigned to, and commissioned in, a [[local universe]], they serve under the direction of the [[Creator Son]] of that [[Jurisdiction|domain]].

20:2.3 Avonals are the [[Paradise Sons]] of [[service]] and [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] to the [[individual]] [[planets]] of the [[local universes]]. And since each Avonal Son has an exclusive [[personality]], since no two are alike, their [[work]] is individually [[unique]] in the realms of their sojourn, where they are often [[incarnated]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]] and sometimes are born of [[earthly]] [[mothers]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds].

20:2.4 In addition to their [[services]] on the higher [[administrative]] levels, the Avonals have a threefold [[function]] on the inhabited worlds:

*1. 20:2.5 ''[[Judicial]] Actions''. They [[act]] at the close of the planetary [[dispensations]]. In time, scores—hundreds—of such missions may be [[executed]] on each [[individual]] world, and they may go to the same or to other worlds times without [[number]] as dispensation terminators, liberators of the sleeping survivors.

*2. 20:2.6  ''Magisterial Missions''. A [[planetary]] visitation of this [[type]] usually occurs prior to the arrival of a [[bestowal Son]]. On such a mission an Avonal appears as an adult of the realm by a [[technique]] of [[incarnation]] not involving [[mortal]] [[birth]]. Subsequent to this first and usual magisterial visit, Avonals may repeatedly serve in a [[magisterial]] capacity on the same [[planet]] both before and after the [[appearance]] of the [[bestowal Son]]. On these additional magisterial missions an Avonal may or may not appear in [[material]] and visible [[form]], but on none of them will he be born into the world as a helpless babe.

*3. 20:2.7 ''[[Bestowal Missions]]''. The Avonal Sons do all, at least once, bestow themselves upon some [[mortal]] [[race]] on some [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary world]. Judicial visits are numerous, magisterial missions may be plural, but on each [[planet]] there appears but one [[bestowal Son]]. Bestowal Avonals are born of [[woman]] as [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] was [[incarnated]] on [[Urantia]].

20:2.8 There is no [[limit]] to the number of times the Avonal Sons may serve on magisterial and on bestowal missions, but usually, when the [[experience]] has been [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven seven] times traversed, there is suspension in favor of those who have had less of such [[service]]. These Sons of multiple bestowal experience are then assigned to the high [[personal]] council of a [[Creator Son]], thus becoming [[participants]] in the [[administration]] of [[universe]] affairs.

20:2.9 In all their [[work]] for and on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited worlds], the ''Magisterial Sons'' are assisted by two orders of [[local universe]] [[creatures]], the [[Melchizedeks]] and the [[archangels]], while on [[bestowal missions]] they are also accompanied by the [[Brilliant Evening Stars]], likewise of [[origin]] in the local creations. In every planetary effort the secondary [[Paradise Sons]], the ''Avonals'', are supported by the full [[power]] and [[authority]] of a primary Paradise Son, the [[Creator Son]] of their [[local universe]] of [[service]].
