35:1.2 In the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]] the ''Father Melchizedek'' [[acts]] as the first [[executive]] [[associate]] of the [[Bright and Morning Star]]. [[Gabriel]] is occupied more with [[universe]] [[policies]], [[Melchizedek]] with [[practical]] [[procedures]]. [[Gabriel]] presides over the regularly constituted [[tribunals]] and councils of Nebadon, [[Melchizedek]] over the special, extraordinary, and emergency commissions and [[Counsel|advisory]] bodies. [[Gabriel]] and the ''Father Melchizedek'' are never away from [[Salvington]] at the same time, for in Gabriel's absence the Father Melchizedek [[functions]] as the chief [[executive]] of [[Nebadon]].

35:1.3 The [[Melchizedeks]] of our [[universe]] were all [[created]] within one [[millennial]] period of [[standard]] [[time]] by the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Creative Spirit]] in [[liaison]] with the Father Melchizedek. Being an order of sonship wherein one of their own [[number]] [[functioned]] as [[co-ordinate]] [[creator]], [[Melchizedeks]] are in [[constitution]] partly of self-origin and therefore [[candidates]] for the [[realization]] of a [[supernal]] [[type]] of [[self-government]]. They [[periodical]]ly [[elect]] their own [[administrative]] chief for a term of seven years of standard [[time]] and otherwise [[function]] as a self-regulating order, though the original Melchizedek does [[exercise]] certain [[inherent]] coparental [[prerogatives]]. From time to time this Father Melchizedek designates certain [[individuals]] of his order to [[function]] as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_36#36:4._MELCHIZEDEK_LIFE_CARRIERS special Life Carriers] to the midsonite worlds, a [[type]] of [[inhabited planet]] not heretofore [[revealed]] on [[Urantia]].

35:1.4 The [[Melchizedeks]] do not [[function]] extensively outside the [[local universe]] except when they are called as [[witnesses]] in matters pending before the [[tribunals]] of the [[superuniverse]], and when designated special [[ambassadors]], as they sometimes are, representing one [[universe]] to another in the same [[superuniverse]]. The [[original]] or first-born [[Melchizedek]] of each [[universe]] is always at [[liberty]] to [[journey]] to the neighboring universes or to [[Paradise]] on missions having to do with the interests and [[duties]] of his order.
