119:0.4 The [[purpose]] of these [[creature]] [[incarnations]] is to enable such [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 Creators] to become [[wise]], [[sympathetic]], [[just]], and [[understanding]] sovereigns. These [[divine Sons]] are [[innately]] [[just]], but they become [[understanding]]ly [[merciful]] as a result of these [[successive]] [[bestowal]] [[experiences]]; they are naturally [[merciful]], but these [[experiences]] make them [[merciful]] in new and additional ways. These [[bestowals]] are the last steps in their [[education]] and [[training]] for the [[sublime]] tasks of ruling the [[local universes]] in [[divine]] [[righteousness]] and by [[just]] [[judgment]].

119:0.5 Though numerous incidental benefits accrue to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 various worlds], [[the System|systems]], and [[constellations]], as well as to the [[different]] orders of universe intelligences affected and benefited by these bestowals, still they are primarily designed to complete the personal training and universe education of a Creator Son himself. These bestowals are not essential to the wise, just, and efficient management of a local universe, but they are absolutely necessary to a fair, merciful, and understanding administration of such a creation, teeming with its varied forms of life and its myriads of intelligent but imperfect creatures.

119:0.6 The Michael Sons begin their work of universe organization with a full and just sympathy for the various orders of beings whom they have created. They have vast stores of mercy for all these differing creatures, even pity for those who err and flounder in the selfish mire of their own production. But such endowments of justice and righteousness will not suffice in the estimate of the Ancients of Days. These triune rulers of the superuniverses will never certify a Creator Son as Universe Sovereign until he has really acquired the viewpoint of his own creatures by actual experience in the environment of their existence and as these very creatures themselves. In this way such Sons become intelligent and understanding rulers; they come to know the various groups over which they rule and exercise universe authority. By living experience they possess themselves of practical mercy, fair judgment, and the patience born of experiential creature existence.

119:0.7 The local universe of Nebadon is now ruled by a Creator Son who has completed his service of bestowal; he reigns in just and merciful supremacy over all the vast realms of his evolving and perfecting universe. Michael of Nebadon is the 611,121st bestowal of the Eternal Son upon the universes of time and space, and he began the organization of your local universe about four hundred billion years ago. Michael made ready for his first bestowal adventure about the time Urantia was taking on its present form, one billion years ago. His bestowals have occurred about one hundred and fifty million years apart, the last taking place on Urantia nineteen hundred years ago. I will now proceed to unfold the nature and character of these bestowals as fully as my commission permits.
