Changes

The system of '''planetary government''' described below has been superceded since the [[inauguration]] of [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] as [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]] in 1991. The [[organization]] of his [[administration]] is somewhat [[unique]] given the [[planet]] is the [[119:7|terminal bestowal world]] of the [[Creator Son]], but as details emerge they will be recorded here.

There were assigned to my command two hundred seraphic hosts—597,196,800 pairs of seraphim, or 1,194,393,600 individual angels. The registry, however, shows 1,002,469,238 individuals; it follows therefore that 191,924,362 angels were absent from this world on [[transport]], [[messenger]], and [[death]] [[duty]]. (On [[Urantia]] there are about the same [[number]] of [[cherubim]] as [[seraphim]], and they are similarly organized.)

==114:1. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF URANTIA==

114:1.1 The [[original]] [[sovereignty]] of [[Urantia]] was held in [[trust]] by the [[System Sovereign|sovereign]] of the [[Satania]] system. It was first delegated by him to a joint commission of [[Melchizedeks]] and [[Life Carriers]], and this [[group]] functioned on [[Urantia]] until the arrival of a regularly constituted [[Planetary Prince]]. Subsequent to the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:1._THE_CALIGASTIA_BETRAYAL downfall of Prince Caligastia], at the time of the [[Lucifer rebellion]], [[Urantia]] had no sure and settled [[relationship]] with the [[local universe]] and its [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_33 administrative divisions] until the completion of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 Michael's bestowal in the flesh], when he was proclaimed, by the [[Union of Days]], [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]]. Such a [[proclamation]] in surety and in principle forever settled the [[status]] of your world, but in [[practice]] the [[Master Son|Sovereign Creator Son]] made no [[gesture]] of [[personal]] [[administration]] of the [[planet]] aside from the [[establishment]] of the [[Jerusem]] commission of [[Council of 24|twenty-four former Urantians]] with [[authority]] to [[represent]] him in the [[government]] of [[Urantia]] and all other [[quarantined]] [[planets]] in [[the system]].

114:1.2 Vicegerent [[authority]] to act for [[Michael]] as [[Planetary Prince]] has been recently vested in [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], but this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:2._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_SONS Son of the local universe] has made not the slightest move toward [[modifying]] the present [[planetary]] [[regime]] of the [[successive]] [[administrations]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:3._THE_RESIDENT_GOVERNOR_GENERAL resident governors general].

114:1.3 There is little likelihood that any marked [[change]] will be made in the [[government]] of [[Urantia]] during the present [[dispensation]] unless the vicegerent [[Planetary Prince]] should arrive to assume his titular [[responsibilities]]. It appears to certain of our [[associates]] that at some time in the near [[future]] the [[plan]] of sending one of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:2._THE_BOARD_OF_PLANETARY_SUPERVISORS twenty-four counselors] to [[Urantia]] to act as [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_114#114:3._THE_RESIDENT_GOVERNOR_GENERAL governor general] will be superseded by the [[formal]] arrival of [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] with the vicegerent [[mandate]] of the [[sovereignty]] of [[Urantia]]. As acting [[Planetary Prince]] he would undoubtedly continue in charge of the [[planet]] until the final [[adjudication]] of the [[Lucifer rebellion]] and probably on into the distant [[future]] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_55#55:7._THE_FIRST_OR_PLANETARY_STAGE planetary settlement] in [[light and life]].

114:1.4 Some believe that [[Machiventa]] will not come to take [[personal]] direction of Urantian affairs until the end of the current [[dispensation]]. Others hold that the vicegerent [[Planetary Prince|Prince]] may not come, as such, until [[Michael]] sometime returns to [[Urantia]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:4._THE_RETURN_OF_MICHAEL as he promised] when still in the [[flesh]].

==114:2. THE BOARD OF PLANETARY SUPERVISORS==

114:2.1 Since the times of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 Michael's bestowal on your world] the general [[management]] of [[Urantia]] has been intrusted to a special [[group]] on [[Jerusem]] of twenty-four onetime Urantians. Qualification for membership on this commission is [[unknown]] to us, but we have [[observed]] that those who have been thus commissioned have all been contributors to the enlarging [[sovereignty]] of the [[Supreme]] in [[the system]] of [[Satania]]. By [[nature]] they were all real [[leaders]] when they functioned on [[Urantia]], and (excepting [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]]) these [[qualities]] of [[leadership]] have been further augmented by [[mansion world]] [[experience]] and supplemented by the [[training]] of [[Jerusem]] [[citizenship]]. Members are [[nominated]] to the twenty-four by the cabinet of [[Lanaforge]], seconded by the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]], approved by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_24#24:5._THE_ASSIGNED_SENTINELS Assigned Sentinel] of [[Jerusem]], and appointed by [[Gabriel]] of [[Salvington]] in [[accordance]] with the [[mandate]] of [[Michael]]. The temporary appointees [[function]] just as fully as do the permanent members of this commission of special supervisors.

114:2.4 The members of this same commission of former Urantians also act as advisory supervisors of the thirty-six other [[Lucifer Rebellion|rebellion]]-isolated worlds of [[the system]]; they [[perform]] a very valuable [[service]] in keeping [[Lanaforge]], the [[System Sovereign]], in close and [[sympathetic]] [[touch]] with the affairs of these [[planets]], which still remain more or less under the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_118#118:8._CONTROL_AND_OVERCONTROL overcontrol] of the [[Constellation Fathers]] of [[Norlatiadek]].

114:3.1 Every one hundred years of [[Urantia]] time, the [[Jerusem]] corps of twenty-four planetary supervisors designate one of their number to [[sojourn]] on your world to act as their [[executive]] [[representative]], as ''resident governor general''. During the times of the [[preparation]] of these [[narratives]] this [[executive]] officer was changed, the nineteenth so to serve being succeeded by the twentieth. The [[name]] of the current planetary supervisor is withheld from you only because [[mortal]] man is so prone to [[venerate]], even to deify, his extraordinary compatriots and [[superhuman]] superiors.

114:3.2 The ''resident governor general'' has no [[actual]] [[personal]] [[authority]] in the [[management]] of world affairs except as the [[representative]] of the [[Council of 24|twenty-four Jerusem counselors]].
