45:0.1 The [[administrative]] [[center]] of [[Satania]] consists of a cluster of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_15#15:7._THE_ARCHITECTURAL_SPHERES architectural spheres], fifty-seven in [[number]]—[[Jerusem]] itself, the [[seven]] major [[satellites]], and the forty-nine subsatellites. [[Jerusem]], [[the system]] capital, is almost one hundred times the size of [[Urantia]], although its [[gravity]] is a trifle less. [[Jerusem]]'s major [[satellites]] are the [[seven]] [[transition]] worlds, each of which is about [[ten]] times as large as [[Urantia]], while the [[seven]] subsatellites of these [[transition]] [[spheres]] are just about the size of [[Urantia]].

[[Transport]] [[seraphim]] carry [[ascending]] [[personalities]] back and forth on these [[pilgrimages]], which are [[designed]] to [[cultivate]] their [[faith]] in the [[ultimate]] [[destiny]] of [[transition]] [[mortals]].

45:1.9 ''Number 7. The World of the Father''. This is the [[silent]] [[sphere]] of [[the system]]. No [[group]] of [[beings]] is domiciled on it. The great [[temple]] of [[light]] occupies a [[central]] place, but no one can be [[discerned]] therein. All [[beings]] of all [[the system]] worlds are [[welcomed]] as [[worship]]ers.

45:1.10 The [[seven]] [[satellites]] [[surrounding]] [[the Father]]'s world are variously utilized in the [[different]] [[the System|systems]]. In [[Satania]] they are now used as the [[detention]] [[spheres]] for the interned [[groups]] of the [[Lucifer rebellion]]. The [[constellation]] [[capital]], [[Edentia]], has no [[analogous]] [[prison]] worlds; the few [[seraphim]] and [[cherubim]] who went over to the rebels in the [[Satania]] [[rebellion]] have been long since confined on these [[isolation]] worlds of [[Jerusem]].

And this sad [[spectacle]] has been [[observable]] during these recent [[ages]] and will continue to serve as a [[solemn]] [[warning]] to all [[Nebadon]] until the [[Ancients of Days]] shall [[adjudicate]] the [[sin]] of [[Lucifer]] and his fallen [[associates]] who rejected the [[salvation]] proffered by [[Michael]], their [[universe]] [[Father]].

==45:2. THE SYSTEM SOVEREIGN==   

45:2.2 In [[Satania]], even after this disastrous [[upheaval]], absolutely no [[changes]] have been made in the [[technique]] of system [[administration]]. The present [[System Sovereign]] [[possesses]] all the [[power]] and [[exercises]] all the [[authority]] that were invested in his unworthy predecessor except for certain matters now under the supervision of the [[Constellation Fathers]] which the [[Ancients of Days]] have not yet fully restored to [[Lanaforge]], the successor of [[Lucifer]].

45:2.3 The present head of [[Satania]] is a [[gracious]] and [[brilliant]] ruler, and he is a [[rebellion]]-tested [[sovereign]]. When serving as an assistant [[System Sovereign]], [[Lanaforge]] was [[faithful]] to [[Michael]] in an earlier [[upheaval]] in the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]. This mighty and [[brilliant]] Lord of [[Satania]] is a tried and tested [[administrator]]. At the time of the second system [[rebellion]] in [[Nebadon]], when the [[System Sovereign]] stumbled and fell into [[darkness]], [[Lanaforge]], the first assistant to the erring chief, seized the reins of [[government]] and so conducted the affairs of [[the system]] that [[comparatively]] few [[personalities]] were lost either on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_46 headquarters worlds] or on the [[inhabited planets]] of that unfortunate [[system]]. [[Lanaforge]] bears the distinction of being the only primary [[Lanonandek Son]] in all [[Nebadon]] who thus [[functioned]] [[loyally]] in the [[service]] of [[Michael]] and in the very [[presence]] of the [[default]] of his [[brother]] of superior [[authority]] and antecedent rank. [[Lanaforge]] will probably not be removed from [[Jerusem]] until all the results of the former [[folly]] have been overcome and the [[product]]s of [[rebellion]] removed from [[Satania]].

45:2.4 While all the affairs of the [[isolated]] worlds of [[Satania]] have not been returned to his [[jurisdiction]], [[Lanaforge]] discloses great interest in their [[welfare]], and he is a frequent visitor on [[Urantia]]. As in other and [[normal]] [[the System|systems]], the [[System Sovereign|Sovereign]] presides over the system [[council]] of world rulers, the [[Planetary Princes]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:3._THE_RESIDENT_GOVERNOR_GENERAL resident governors general] of the [[isolated]] worlds.

45:2.6 These [[unique]] assemblages occur on the [[sea of glass]], the great gathering field of [[the system]] [[capital]]. They are [[purely]] [[social]] and [[spiritual]] occasions; nothing pertaining to the [[planetary]] [[administration]] or even to the [[ascendant plan]] is ever [[discussed]]. [[Ascending mortals]] come [[together]] at these times merely to [[enjoy]] themselves and to meet their fellow [[Citizens|Jerusemites]]. Those [[groups]] which are not being [[entertained]] by [[the Sovereign]] at these weekly [[relaxation]]s meet at their own [[headquarters]].

==45:4. THE FOUR AND TWENTY COUNSELORS==   

45:4.1 At the [[center]] of the [[seven]] [[angelic]] [[residential]] circles on [[Jerusem]] is located the [[headquarters]] of the [[Urantia]] advisory [[council]], the ''[[four and twenty counselors]]''. [[John the Revelator]] called them the four and twenty elders: "And round about the throne were four and twenty seats, and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Revelation#Chapter_4] ] The throne in the [[center]] of this [[group]] is the [[judgment]] seat of the presiding [[archangel]], the throne of the [[resurrection]] roll call of [[mercy]] and [[justice]] for all [[Satania]]. This judgment seat has always been on [[Jerusem]], but the twenty-four [[surrounding]] seats were placed in position no more than nineteen hundred years ago, soon after [[Master Son|Christ Michael]] was elevated to the full [[sovereignty]] of [[Nebadon]]. These four and twenty counselors are his [[personal]] [[agents]] on [[Jerusem]], and they have [[authority]] to [[represent]] the [[Master Son]] in all matters concerning the roll calls of [[Satania]] and in many other [[phases]] of the [[scheme]] of [[mortal]] [[ascension]] on the [[isolated]] worlds of [[the system]]. They are the designated [[agents]] for [[executing]] the special requests of [[Gabriel]] and the unusual [[mandates]] of [[Michael]].

45:6.3 On the [[seven mansion worlds]] [[ascending mortals]] are afforded [[Abundance|ample]] [[opportunities]] for [[compensating]] any and all [[experiential]] deprivations [[suffered]] on their worlds of [[origin]], whether due to [[inheritance]], [[environment]], or unfortunate premature termination of the [[career]] in the [[flesh]]. This is in every sense true except in the [[mortal]] [[sex]] life and its attendant [[adjustments]]. Thousands of [[mortals]] reach the [[mansion worlds]] without having benefited particularly from the [[disciplines]] derived from fairly [[average]] [[sex]] [[relations]] on their [[native]] [[spheres]]. The [[mansion world]] [[experience]] can provide little [[opportunity]] for compensating these very [[personal]] deprivations.

45:6.3 On the [[seven mansion worlds]] [[ascending mortals]] are afforded [[Abundance|ample]] [[opportunities]] for [[compensating]] any and all [[experiential]] deprivations [[suffered]] on their worlds of [[origin]], whether due to [[inheritance]], [[environment]], or unfortunate premature termination of the [[career]] in the [[flesh]]. This is in every sense true except in the [[mortal]] [[sex]] life and its attendant [[adjustments]]. Thousands of [[mortals]] reach the [[mansion worlds]] without having benefited particularly from the [[disciplines]] derived from fairly [[average]] [[sex]] [[relations]] on their [[native]] [[spheres]]. The [[mansion world]] [[experience]] can provide little [[opportunity]] for compensating these very [[personal]] deprivations.

The [[relationship]] of [[child]] and [[parent]] is [[fundamental]] to the [[essential]] [[concept]] of the [[Universal Father]] and his [[universe]] [[children]].
