==33:1. MICHAEL OF NEBADON==   

33:1.1 Our [[Creator Son]] is the [[personification]] of the 611,121st [[original]] [[concept]] of [[infinite]] [[identity]] of [[simultaneous]] origin in the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]]. The [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] is the "only-begotten Son"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_John#1st_Letter_of_John.2C_IV] [[personalizing]] this 611,121st [[universal]] [[concept]] of [[divinity]] and [[infinity]]. His [[headquarters]] is in the threefold mansion of  on [[Salvington]]. And this [[Home|dwelling]] is so ordered because Michael has [[experienced]] the living of all [[three]] [[phases]] of [[intelligent]] [[creature]] [[existence]]: [[spiritual]], [[morontial]], and [[material]]. Because of the name [[associated]] with his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 seventh and final bestowal on Urantia], he is sometimes spoken of as [[Christ]] [[Michael]].

33:1.2 Our [[Creator Son]] is not the [[Eternal Son]], the [[existential]] [[Paradise]] [[associate]] of the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Infinite Spirit]]. Michael of Nebadon is not a member of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. Nevertheless our [[Master Son]] [[possesses]] in his realm all of the [[divine]] [[attributes]] and [[powers]] that the [[Eternal Son]] himself would [[manifest]] were he [[actually]] to be present on [[Salvington]] and [[functioning]] in [[Nebadon]]. Michael possesses even additional [[power]] and [[authority]], for he not only [[personifies]] the [[Eternal Son]] but also fully [[represents]] and actually [[embodies]] the [[personality]] [[presence]] of the [[Universal Father]] to and in this [[local universe]]. He even [[represents]] the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_105_-_Deity_and_Reality#105:2._THE_I_AM_AS_TRIUNE_AND_AS_SEVENFOLD Father-Son (105:2.7)]. These [[relationships]] [[constitute]] a [[Creator Son]] the most [[powerful]], [[versatile]], and [[influential]] of all [[divine]] [[beings]] who are capable of direct [[administration]] of [[evolutionary]] [[universes]] and of [[personality]] contact with [[Maturity|immature]] [[creature]] [[beings]].

33:1.3 Our [[Creator Son]] exerts the same [[spiritual]] drawing [[power]], [[spirit]] [[gravity]], from the [[headquarters]] of the [[local universe]] that the [[Eternal Son]] of [[Paradise]] would exert if he were [[personally]] present on [[Salvington]], and more; this [[Master Son|Universe Son]] is also the [[personification]] of the [[Universal Father]] to the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:1.4 The [[Creator Son]] is the vicegerent [[personalization]] of the [[Universal Father]], the [[divinity]] [[co-ordinate]] of the [[Eternal Son]], and the [[creative]] [[associate]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]].

33:1.5 In the [[person]] of the [[Creator Son]] we have a [[ruler]] and [[divine]] [[parent]] who is just as mighty, [[efficient]], and [[beneficent]] as would be the [[Universal Father]] and the [[Eternal Son]] if both were present on [[Salvington]] and engaged in the [[administration]] of the affairs of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:2.1 [[Observation]] of [[Creator Sons]] discloses that some resemble more [[the Father]], some [[the Son]], while others are a blend of both their [[infinite]] [[parents]]. Our [[Creator Son]] very definitely [[manifests]] traits and [[attributes]] which more resemble the [[Eternal Son]].

33:2.2 [[Michael]] elected to [[organize]] this [[local universe]], and herein he now reigns [[supreme]]. His [[personal]] [[power]] is [[limited]] by the pre-existent [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Foreword#VI._ENERGY_AND_PATTERN gravity circuits] [[centering]] at [[Paradise]] and by the reservation on the part of the [[Ancients of Days]] of the [[superuniverse]] [[government]] of all final [[executive]] [[judgments]] regarding the [[extinction]] of [[personality]].

33:2.3 [[Michael]] is the [[personification]] of the [[Paradise Father]]-Son to and in the [[local universe]] of [[Nebadon]]; therefore, when the [[Mother Spirit|Creative Mother Spirit]], the [[local universe]] [[representation]] of the [[Infinite Spirit]], subordinated herself to Christ [[Michael]] upon the return from his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 final bestowal] on [[Urantia]], the [[Master Son]] thereby acquired [[jurisdiction]] over "all power in heaven and on earth."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_matthew#Chapter_28]

33:2.4 This subordination of the [[Divine Ministers]] to the [[Creator Sons]] of the [[local universes]] [[constitutes]] these [[Master Sons]] the [[personal]] repositories of the [[finitely]] [[manifestable]] [[divinity]] of [[the Father]], [[Eternal Son|Son]], and [[Infinite Spirit|Spirit]], while the [[creature]]-[[bestowal]] [[experiences]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 the Michaels] qualify them to portray the experiential [[divinity]] of the [[Supreme Being]]. No other [[beings]] in the [[universes]] have thus [[personally]] exhausted the [[potentials]] of present [[finite]] [[experience]], and no other [[beings]] in the [[universes]] [[possess]] such qualifications for solitary [[sovereignty]].

33:2.5 Although [[Michael]]'s [[headquarters]] is officially located on [[Salvington]], the capital of [[Nebadon]], he spends much of his [[time]] visiting the [[constellation]] and [[the System|system]] headquarters and even the [[individual]] [[planets]]. Periodically he [[journeys]] to [[Paradise]] and often to [[Uversa]], where he [[counsels]] with the [[Ancients of Days]]. When he is away from [[Salvington]], his place is assumed by [[Gabriel]], who then [[functions]] as regent of the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]].

33:3.1 While pervading all the [[universes]] of [[time and space]], the [[Infinite Spirit]] [[functions]] from the [[headquarters]] of each [[local universe]] as a specialized [[focalization]] acquiring full [[personality]] qualities by the [[technique]] of [[creative]] [[co-operation]] with the [[Creator Son]]. As concerns a [[local universe]], the [[administrative]] [[authority]] of a [[Creator Son]] is [[supreme]]; the [[Infinite Spirit]], as the [[Divine Minister]], is wholly [[co-operative]] though perfectly co-ordinate.

33:3.6 After this [[pledge]] of subordination by the Creative [[Mother Spirit]], [[Michael]] of Nebadon [[nobly]] acknowledged his [[eternal]] dependence on his Spirit companion, constituting the Spirit co-ruler of his [[universe]] domains and requiring all their [[creatures]] to pledge themselves in [[loyalty]] to [[Mother Spirit|the Spirit]] as they had to [[Creator Son|the Son]]; and there issued and went forth the final "Proclamation of Equality." Though he was the [[sovereign]] of this [[local universe]], the Son published to the worlds the [[fact]] of the Spirit's [[equality]] with him in all [[endowments]] of [[personality]] and [[attributes]] of [[divine]] [[character]]. And this becomes the [[transcendent]] [[pattern]] for the [[family]] [[organization]] and [[government]] of even the lowly [[creatures]] of the [[inhabited worlds|worlds of space]]. This is, in [[deed]] and in [[truth]], the high [[ideal]] of the [[family]] and the [[human]] [[institution]] of voluntary [[marriage]].

33:3.7 The [[Creator Son|Son]] and the [[Mother Spirit|Spirit]] now preside over the [[universe]] much as a [[father]] and [[mother]] watch over, and minister to, their [[family]] of [[Children|sons and daughters]].
