20:2.2 We have [[reasons]] for believing that the [[total]] [[number]] of ''Magisterial Sons'' in the [[grand universe]] is about one billion.

20:2.3 Avonals are the [[Paradise Sons]] of [[service]] and [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] to the [[individual]] [[planets]] of the [[local universes]]. And since each Avonal Son has an exclusive [[personality]], since no two are alike, their [[work]] is individually [[unique]] in the realms of their sojourn, where they are often [[incarnated]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]] and sometimes are born of [[earthly]] [[mothers]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary worlds].

20:2.4 In addition to their [[services]] on the higher [[administrative]] levels, the Avonals have a threefold [[function]] on the inhabited worlds:

*1. 20:2.5 ''[[Judicial]] Actions''. They [[act]] at the close of the planetary [[dispensations]]. In time, scores—hundreds—of such missions may be [[executed]] on each [[individual]] world, and they may go to the same or to other worlds times without [[number]] as dispensation terminators, liberators of the sleeping survivors.

*2. 20:2.6  ''Magisterial Missions''. A [[planetary]] visitation of this [[type]] usually occurs prior to the arrival of a [[bestowal Son]]. On such a mission an Avonal appears as an adult of the realm by a [[technique]] of [[incarnation]] not involving [[mortal]] [[birth]]. Subsequent to this first and usual magisterial visit, Avonals may repeatedly serve in a [[magisterial]] capacity on the same [[planet]] both before and after the [[appearance]] of the [[bestowal Son]]. On these additional magisterial missions an Avonal may or may not appear in [[material]] and visible [[form]], but on none of them will he be born into the world as a helpless babe.

The Avonal Sons do all, at least once, bestow themselves upon some [[mortal]] [[race]] on some [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 evolutionary world]. Judicial visits are numerous, magisterial missions may be plural, but on each [[planet]] there appears but one [[bestowal Son]]. Bestowal Avonals are born of [[woman]] as [[Michael]] of [[Nebadon]] was [[incarnated]] on [[Urantia]].

20:2.8 There is no [[limit]] to the number of times the Avonal Sons may serve on magisterial and on bestowal missions, but usually, when the [[experience]] has been [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven seven] times traversed, there is suspension in favor of those who have had less of such [[service]]. These Sons of multiple bestowal experience are then assigned to the high [[personal]] council of a [[Creator Son]], thus becoming [[participants]] in the [[administration]] of [[universe]] affairs.

In every planetary effort the secondary [[Paradise Sons]], the ''Avonals'', are supported by the full [[power]] and [[authority]] of a primary Paradise Son, the [[Creator Son]] of their [[local universe]] of [[service]]. To all [[intents]] and [[purposes]] their [[work]] on the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited spheres] is just as [[effective]] and acceptable as would have been the [[service]] of a [[Creator Son]] upon such worlds of mortal habitation.

==20:3. JUDICIAL ACTIONS==   

==20:3. JUDICIAL ACTIONS==   

20:3.1 The [[Avonals]] are known as [[Magisterial Sons]] because they are the high [[magistrates]] of the realms, the [[adjudicators]] of the successive [[dispensations]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 worlds of time]. They preside over the [[awakening]] of the [[sleeping survivors]], sit in [[judgment]] on the realm, bring to an end a [[dispensation]] of suspended [[justice]], [[execute]] the [[mandates]] of an age of probationary [[mercy]], reassign the [[space]] [[creatures]] of planetary [[ministry]] to the tasks of the new [[dispensation]], and return to the headquarters of their [[local universe]] upon the completion of their mission.

20:3.2 When they sit in [[judgment]] on the [[destinies]] of an [[Epoch|age]], the [[Avonals]] [[decree]] the fate of the [[evolutionary]] [[races]], but though they may render [[judgments]] extinguishing the [[identity]] of [[personal]] [[creatures]], they do not [[execute]] such sentences. [[Verdicts]] of this [[nature]] are executed by none but the [[authorities]] of a [[superuniverse]][http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Ancients_of_days].

20:3.3 The arrival of a [[Paradise]] [[Avonal]] on an [[evolutionary]] world for the [[purpose]] of terminating a [[dispensation]] and of inaugurating a [[New Age|new era]] of planetary [[progression]] is not [[necessarily]] either a [[magisterial mission]] or a [[bestowal mission]]. Magisterial missions sometimes, and bestowal missions always, are [[incarnations]]; that is, on such assignments the Avonals serve on a planet in [[material]] form—[[literally]]. Their other visits are " technical, " and in this capacity an Avonal is not incarnated for [[planetary]] [[service]]. If a Magisterial Son comes solely as a dispensational adjudicator, he arrives on a [[planet]] as a [[spiritual]] [[being]], invisible to the [[material]] [[creatures]] of the realm. Such technical visits occur repeatedly in the long [[history]] of an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited world].

20:3.4 Avonal Sons may act as [[planetary]] [[judges]] prior to both the [[magisterial]] and [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] [[experiences]]. On either of these missions, however, the incarnated Son will judge the passing [[Epoch|planetary age]]; likewise does a [[Creator Son]] when incarnated on a mission of bestowal in the likeness of [[mortal]] [[flesh]]. When a Paradise Son visits an evolutionary world and becomes like one of its people, his [[presence]] terminates a dispensation and constitutes a [[judgment]] of the realm.

It may be visited many times by the same or other [[Avonals]], acting as [[dispensational]] [[adjudicators]], but such technical missions of [[judgment]] are neither bestowal nor magisterial, and the Avonals are never [[incarnated]] at such times.

20:4.3 When [[incarnated]] on either [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] or [[magisterial missions]], the [[Paradise Sons]] have experienced [[Adjusters]], and these Adjusters are [[different]] for each [[incarnation]]. The Adjusters that occupy the [[minds]] of the incarnated Sons of God can never [[hope]] for [[personality]] through [[fusion]] with the [[human]]-[[divine]] [[beings]] of their indwelling, but they are often [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_40#40:4._PERSONALIZED_ADJUSTERS personalized] by [[fiat]] of the [[Universal Father]]. Such Adjusters form the supreme [[Divinington]] council of direction for the [[administration]], identification, and dispatch of [[Mystery Monitors]] to the [[inhabited realms]]. They also receive and accredit [[Adjusters]] on their return to the "bosom of the Father"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John#Chapter] upon the [[mortal]] [[Death|dissolution]] of their earthly tabernacles. In this way the [[faithful]] [[Adjusters]] of the world [[judges]] become the exalted chiefs of their kind.

20:4.3 When [[incarnated]] on either [[Paradise Bestowal Son|bestowal]] or [[magisterial missions]], the [[Paradise Sons]] have experienced [[Adjusters]], and these Adjusters are [[different]] for each [[incarnation]].
