Changes

67:2.1 Shortly after [[Satan]]' s [[Visit|inspection]] and when the [[planetary]] [[administration]] was on the eve of the [[realization]] of great things on [[Urantia]], one day, midwinter of the northern continents, [[Caligastia]] held a prolonged conference with his [[associate]], [[Daligastia]], after which the latter called the ten councils of [[Urantia]] in session extraordinary. This assembly was opened with the [[statement]] that Prince [[Caligastia]] was about to proclaim himself [[absolute]] [[sovereign]] of [[Urantia]] and demanded that all [[administrative]] [[groups]] abdicate by resigning all of their [[functions]] and [[powers]] into the hands of [[Daligastia]] as trustee, pending the reorganization of the [[planetary]] [[government]] and the subsequent redistribution of these offices of [[administrative]] [[authority]].

67:2.2 The presentation of this astounding demand was followed by the masterly appeal of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van], chairman of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:5._ORGANIZATION_OF_THE_ONE_HUNDRED supreme council of co-ordination]. This distinguished [[administrator]] and able [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurist jurist] branded the proposed [[course]] of [[Caligastia]] as an act bordering on [[planetary]] [[rebellion]] and appealed to his conferees to abstain from all [[participation]] until an [[appeal]] could be taken to [[Lucifer]], the [[System Sovereign]] of [[Satania]]; and he won the [[support]] of the entire staff. Accordingly, [[appeal]] was taken to [[Jerusem]], and forthwith came back the orders designating [[Caligastia]] as supreme [[sovereign]] on [[Urantia]] and commanding [[absolute]] and unquestioning [[allegiance]] to his [[mandates]]. And it was in reply to this amazing [[message]] that the [[noble]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van] made his memorable address of seven hours' length in which he [[formally]] drew his [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indict indictment] of [[Daligastia]], [[Caligastia]], and [[Lucifer]] as standing in [[contempt]] of the [[sovereignty]] of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]; and he [[appealed]] to the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] for [[support]] and [[confirmation]].

67:2.3 Meantime [[the system]] [[circuits]] had been severed; [[Urantia]] was [[isolated]]. Every [[group]] of [[celestial]] life on the [[planet]] found itself suddenly and without warning [[isolated]], utterly cut off from all outside [[counsel]] and advice.

67:2.5 [[Seraphim]] and [[cherubim]] and other [[celestial]] [[beings]] were involved in the [[decisions]] of this bitter [[struggle]], this long and sinful [[conflict]]. Many superhuman [[groups]] that chanced to be on [[Urantia]] at the time of its [[isolation]] were [[detained]] here and, like the [[seraphim]] and their [[associates]], were compelled to [[choose]] between [[sin]] and [[righteousness]]—between the ways of [[Lucifer]] and the will of [[the unseen Father]].

67:2.6 For more than [[seven]] years this [[struggle]] continued. Not until every [[personality]] concerned had made a final [[decision]], would or did the [[authorities]] of [[Edentia]] [[interfere]] or intervene. Not until then did [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:6._VAN.E2.80.94THE_STEADFAST Van] and his [[loyal]] [[associates]] receive vindication and release from their prolonged [[anxiety]] and intolerable [[suspense]].
