93:0.1 The [[Melchizedeks]] are widely known as [[emergency]] Sons, for they [[engage]] in an [[amazing]] range of [[activities]] on the worlds of a [[local universe]]. When any extraordinary [[problem]] arises, or when something [[unusual]] is to be attempted, it is quite often a [[Melchizedek]] who [[accepts]] the assignment. The [[ability]] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:2._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_SONS Melchizedek Sons] to [[function]] in [[emergencies]] and on widely [[divergent]] levels of the [[universe]], even on the [[physical]] level of [[personality]] [[manifestation]], is peculiar to their order. Only the [[Life Carriers]] share to any [[degree]] this [[metamorphic]] range of [[personality]] [[function]].

==93:1. THE MACHIVENTA INCARNATION==

==93:1. THE MACHIVENTA INCARNATION==

93:1.1 [[Revealed]] [[truth]] was threatened with [[extinction]] during the millenniums which followed the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_75 miscarriage of the Adamic mission] on [[Urantia]]. Though making [[progress]] [[intellectually]], the [[human]] races were slowly losing ground [[spiritually]]. About [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3000_BC 3000 B.C.] the [[concept]] of [[God]] had grown very hazy in the [[minds]] of men.

About [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3000_BC 3000 B.C.] the [[concept]] of [[God]] had grown very hazy in the [[minds]] of men.

93:1.2 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_%28number%29 twelve] [[Melchizedek receivers]] knew of [[Michael]]'s impending [[bestowal]] on their [[planet]], but they did not know how soon it would occur; therefore they [[convened]] in [[solemn]] [[council]] and [[petitioned]] the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]] that some provision be made for [[maintaining]] the [[light]] of [[truth]] on [[Urantia]]. This [[plea]] was dismissed with the ''mandate'' that "the conduct of affairs on 606 of [[Satania]] is fully in the hands of the [[Melchizedek]] custodians." The [[Melchizedek receivers|receivers]] then appealed to the [[Father Melchizedek]] for help but only received [[word]] that they should continue to uphold [[truth]] in the [[manner]] of their own [[election]] "until the arrival of a [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:6._THE_MORTAL-BESTOWAL_CAREERS bestowal Son]," who "would rescue the [[planetary]] titles from forfeiture and [[uncertainty]]."

93:1.3 And it was in [[consequence]] of having been thrown so completely on their own [[resources]] that [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]], one of the twelve [[planetary receivers]], [[volunteered]] to do that which had been done only six times in all the [[history]] of [[Nebadon]]: to [[personalize]] on [[earth]] as a temporary man of the realm, to [[bestow]] himself as an [[emergency]] Son of world [[ministry]]. Permission was granted for this [[adventure]] by the [[Salvington]] [[authorities]], and the [[actual]] [[incarnation]] of [[Machiventa]] Melchizedek was [[consummated]] near what was to become the [[city]] of [[Salem]], in [[Palestine]]. The entire [[transaction]] of the [[materialization]] of this [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:2._THE_MELCHIZEDEK_SONS Melchizedek Son] was completed by the [[planetary receivers]] with the [[co-operation]] of the [[Life Carriers]], certain of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS Master Physical Controllers], and other [[celestial]] [[personalities]] resident on [[Urantia]].

93:2.5 In [[personal]] [[appearance]], Melchizedek resembled the then blended [[Nodite]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer Sumerian] peoples, being almost six feet in height and possessing a commanding [[presence]]. He spoke [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea Chaldean] and a half dozen other [[languages]]. He dressed much as did the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan Canaanite] [[priests]] except that on his breast he wore an emblem of [[three]] [[concentric]] [[circles]], the [[Satania]] [[symbol]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]]. In the [[course]] of his [[ministry]] this insignia of three concentric circles became regarded as so [[sacred]] by his followers that they never dared to use it, and it was soon forgotten with the passing of a few [[generations]].

93:2.6 Though [[Machiventa]] lived after the [[manner]] of the men of the realm, he never [[married]], nor could he have left [[offspring]] on [[earth]]. His [[physical]] [[body]], while resembling that of the [[human]] [[male]], was in [[reality]] on the order of those especially constructed [[bodies]] used by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_66#66:2._THE_PRINCE.27S_STAFF one hundred materialized members of Prince Caligastia' s staff] except that it did not carry the life [[plasm]] of any [[human]] race. Nor was there available on [[Urantia]] the [[tree of life]]. Had [[Machiventa]] remained for any long period on [[earth]], his [[physical]] [[mechanism]] would have gradually deteriorated; as it was, he terminated his [[bestowal]] mission in ninety-four years long before his material body had begun to disintegrate.

93:2.7 This [[incarnated]] [[Melchizedek]] received a [[Thought Adjuster]], who indwelt his [[superhuman]] [[personality]] as the monitor of [[time]] and the [[mentor]] of the [[flesh]], thus gaining that [[experience]] and practical introduction to Urantian [[problems]] and to the [[technique]] of indwelling an [[incarnated]] Son which enabled this spirit of [[the Father]] to [[function]] so valiantly in the [[human]] [[mind]] of the later Son of God, [[Michael]], when he [[appeared]] on [[earth]] in the likeness of [[mortal]] flesh. And this is the only [[Thought Adjuster]] who ever functioned in two minds on [[Urantia]], but both minds were [[divine]] as well as [[human]].

==93:3. MELCHIZEDEK'S TEACHINGS==

==93:3. MELCHIZEDEK'S TEACHINGS==

93:3.1 With the passing of a decade, [[Melchizedek]] organized his schools at [[Salem]], patterning them on the olden [[system]] which had been [[developed]] by the early [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:3._LIFE_IN_MESOPOTAMIA Sethite priests] of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#PAPER_76:_THE_SECOND_GARDEN second Eden]. Even the [[idea]] of a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tithe tithing system], which was introduced by his later convert [[Abraham]], was also derived from the lingering [[traditions]] of the [[methods]] of the ancient [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_76#76:3._LIFE_IN_MESOPOTAMIA Sethites].

93:3.2 [[Melchizedek]] taught the [[concept]] of one [[God]], a [[universal]] [[Deity]], but he allowed the people to [[associate]] this teaching with the [[Constellation Father]] of [[Norlatiadek]], whom he termed [[El Elyon]]—the [[Most High]]. [[Melchizedek]] remained all but [[silent]] as to the [[status]] of [[Lucifer]] and the state of affairs on [[Jerusem]]. [[Lanaforge]], the [[System Sovereign]], had little to do with [[Urantia]] until after the completion of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 Michael's bestowal]. To a [[majority]] of the [[Salem]] [[students]] [[Edentia]] was [[heaven]] and the [[Most High]] was [[God]].

93:3.3 The [[Banner of Michael|symbol of the three concentric circles]], which [[Melchizedek]] adopted as the insignia of his [[bestowal]], a [[majority]] of the people [[interpreted]] as standing for the three kingdoms of [[men]], [[angels]], and [[God]]. And they were allowed to continue in that [[belief]]; very few of his followers ever knew that these three circles were emblematic of the [[infinity]], [[eternity]], and [[universality]] of the [[Paradise Trinity]] of [[divine]] [[maintenance]] and direction; even [[Abraham]] rather regarded this [[symbol]] as standing for the three [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]], as he had been instructed that the three [[Most Highs]] functioned as one. To the extent that [[Melchizedek]] taught the [[Trinity]] concept symbolized in his insignia, he usually associated it with the three [[Vorondadek]] rulers of the [[constellation]] of [[Norlatiadek]].

93:3.6 [[Melchizedek]] taught his followers all they had [[capacity]] to receive and assimilate. Even many [[modern]] religious [[ideas]] about [[heaven]] and [[earth]], of [[man]], [[God]], and [[angels]], are not far removed from these teachings of [[Melchizedek]]. But this great teacher subordinated [[everything]] to the [[doctrine]] of [[Monotheism|one God]], a universe [[Deity]], a heavenly [[Creator]], a [[divine]] [[Father]]. Emphasis was placed upon this teaching for the [[purpose]] of appealing to man's [[adoration]] and of [[preparing]] the way for the subsequent [[appearance]] of [[Michael]] as the Son of this same [[Universal Father]].

93:3.7 [[Melchizedek]] taught that at some [[future]] time another [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#PAPER_20:_THE_PARADISE_SONS_OF_GOD Son of God] would come in the [[flesh]] as he had come, but that he would be born of a [[woman]]; and that is why numerous later teachers held that [[Jesus]] was a [[priest]], or minister, "forever after the order of Melchizedek."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_VII]

93:3.8 And thus did [[Melchizedek]] [[prepare]] the way and set the [[monotheistic]] [[stage]] of world [[tendency]] for the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:6._THE_MORTAL-BESTOWAL_CAREERS bestowal of an actual Paradise Son of the one God], whom he so vividly portrayed as [[the Father]] of all, and whom he [[represented]] to [[Abraham]] as a [[God]] who would [[accept]] man on the simple terms of [[personal]] [[faith]]. And [[Michael]], when he appeared on [[earth]], [[confirmed]] all that [[Melchizedek]] had taught concerning the [[Paradise Father]].

93:4.5 And that was the whole of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creed creed] of the [[Salem]] colony. But even such a short and simple [[declaration]] of [[faith]] was altogether too much and too advanced for the men of those days. They simply could not grasp the [[idea]] of getting [[divine]] [[favor]] for nothing—by [[faith]]. They were too deeply [[confirmed]] in the [[belief]] that man was born under forfeit to the gods. Too long and too [[earnestly]] had they [[sacrificed]] and made gifts to the [[priests]] to be able to [[comprehend]] the good news that [[salvation]], [[divine]] [[favor]], was a [[free]] gift to all who would believe in the [[Melchizedek]] [[covenant]]. But [[Abraham]] did believe halfheartedly, and even that was "counted for righteousness."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.15]

*7. 93:4.13 You shall not show disrespect for your [[parents]] and [[elders]].

93:4.14 While no [[sacrifices]] were permitted within the colony, [[Melchizedek]] well knew how [[difficult]] it is to suddenly uproot long-[[established]] [[customs]] and accordingly had wisely offered these people the substitute of a [[sacrament]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eucharist bread and wine] for the older [[sacrifice]] of flesh and blood. It is of [[record]], "Melchizedek, king of Salem, brought forth bread and wine."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.14] But even this cautious [[innovation]] was not altogether successful; the various [[tribes]] all [[maintained]] auxiliary centers on the outskirts of [[Salem]] where they offered [[sacrifices]] and burnt offerings. Even [[Abraham]] resorted to this [[barbarous]] [[practice]] after his victory over [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews#The_Letter_to_the_Hebrews.2C_VII Chedorlaomer]; he simply did not feel quite at ease until he had offered a [[conventional]] [[sacrifice]]. And [[Melchizedek]] never did succeed in fully eradicating this proclivity to [[sacrifice]] from the religious [[practices]] of his followers, even of [[Abraham]].

93:4.15 Like [[Jesus]], [[Melchizedek]] attended strictly to the fulfillment of the mission of his [[bestowal]]. He did not attempt to reform the [[mores]], to change the [[habits]] of the world, nor to promulgate even advanced sanitary practices or [[scientific]] [[truths]]. He came to achieve two tasks: to keep alive on [[earth]] the [[truth]] of the one [[God]] and to [[prepare]] the way for the subsequent [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:6._THE_MORTAL-BESTOWAL_CAREERS mortal bestowal of a Paradise Son] of that Universal Father.

He finally became a [[convert]] to the [[Salem]] teachings, becoming one of [[Melchizedek]]'s most [[brilliant]] [[pupils]] and chief supporters.

93:5.1 Although it may be an [[error]] to speak of "[[chosen people]]," it is not a mistake to refer to [[Abraham]] as a chosen [[individual]]. [[Melchizedek]] did lay upon [[Abraham]] the [[responsibility]] of keeping alive the [[truth]] of one God as distinguished from the prevailing [[belief]] in [[Polytheism|plural deities]].

93:5.2 The [[choice]] of [[Palestine]] as the site for [[Machiventa]]'s [[activities]] was in part predicated upon the [[desire]] to [[establish]] contact with some [[human]] family embodying the [[potentials]] of [[leadership]]. At the time of the [[incarnation]] of [[Melchizedek]] there were many [[families]] on [[earth]] just as well [[prepared]] to receive the [[doctrine]] of [[Salem]] as was that of [[Abraham]]. There were equally [[endowed]] families among the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_64#64:6._THE_SIX_SANGIK_RACES_OF_URANTIA red men, the yellow men], and the descendants of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andites] to the west and north. But, again, none of these localities were so favorably situated for [[Michael]]'s subsequent [[appearance]] on [[earth]] as was the eastern shore of the [[Mediterranean Sea]]. The [[Melchizedek]] mission in [[Palestine]] and the subsequent [[appearance]] of [[Michael]] among the [[Hebrew]] people were in no small [[measure]] determined by [[geography]], by the [[fact]] that [[Palestine]] was centrally located with [[reference]] to the then existent trade, travel, and [[civilization]] of the world.

93:5.3 For some time the [[Melchizedek receivers]] had been observing the [[ancestors]] of [[Abraham]], and they confidently expected [[offspring]] in a certain [[generation]] who would be characterized by [[intelligence]], [[initiative]], [[sagacity]], and [[sincerity]]. The children of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terah Terah], the [[father]] of [[Abraham]], in every way met these [[expectations]]. It was this [[possibility]] of contact with these [[versatile]] children of Terah that had considerable to do with the [[appearance]] of [[Machiventa]] at [[Salem]], rather than in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_China China], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_India India], or among the northern tribes.

93:5.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terah Terah] and his whole [[family]] were halfhearted converts to the [[Salem]] [[religion]], which had been preached in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaldea Chaldea]; they learned of [[Melchizedek]] through the preaching of Ovid, a Phoenician teacher who proclaimed the [[Salem]] doctrines in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur Ur]. They left Ur intending to go directly through to Salem, but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahor Nahor], Abraham's brother, not having seen [[Melchizedek]], was lukewarm and persuaded them to tarry at Haran. And it was a long time after they arrived in [[Palestine]] before they were willing to destroy all of the household gods they had brought with them; they were slow to give up the many gods of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia] for the one God of Salem.

93:5.5 A few weeks after the [[death]] of [[Abraham]]'s [[father]], Terah, [[Melchizedek]] sent one of his students, Jaram the Hittite, to extend this invitation to both [[Abraham]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nahor Nahor]: "Come to Salem, where you shall hear our teachings of the truth of the eternal Creator, and in the enlightened offspring of you two brothers shall all the world be blessed."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.12] Now Nahor had not wholly [[accepted]] the [[Melchizedek]] gospel; he remained behind and built up a strong [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_state city-state] which bore his name; but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lot_%28Bible%29 Lot], Abraham's nephew, decided to go with his uncle to [[Salem]].

93:5.6 Upon arriving at [[Salem]], [[Abraham]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lot_%28Bible%29 Lot] chose a hilly fastness near the [[city]] where they could defend themselves against the many surprise [[attacks]] of northern raiders. At this time the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittites Hittites], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyrians Assyrians], [[Philistines]], and other groups were constantly raiding the [[tribes]] of central and southern [[Palestine]]. From their stronghold in the hills Abraham and Lot made frequent [[pilgrimages]] to Salem.

==93:6. MELCHIZEDEK'S COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM==

93:6.1 [[Abraham]] envisaged the [[conquest]] of all [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan Canaan]. His [[determination]] was only weakened by the [[fact]] that [[Melchizedek]] would not [[sanction]] the undertaking. But [[Abraham]] had about decided to embark upon the [[enterprise]] when the [[thought]] that he had no son to succeed him as ruler of this proposed kingdom began to worry him. He arranged another [[conference]] with [[Melchizedek]]; and it was in the [[course]] of this interview that the [[priest]] of [[Salem]], the visible [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_20#20:1._THE_DESCENDING_SONS_OF_GOD Son of God], persuaded [[Abraham]] to abandon his scheme of [[material]] [[conquest]] and temporal rule in [[favor]] of the [[spiritual]] [[concept]] of the kingdom of heaven.

93:6.2 [[Melchizedek]] explained to [[Abraham]] the futility of contending with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amorite Amorite] [[confederation]] but made it equally [[clear]] that these backward [[clans]] were certainly committing [[suicide]] by their foolish [[practices]] so that in a few [[generations]] they would be so weakened that the descendants of [[Abraham]], meanwhile greatly increased, could easily overcome them.

93:6.3 And [[Melchizedek]] made a [[formal]] [[covenant]] with [[Abraham]] at [[Salem]]. Said he to Abraham: "Look now up to the heavens and number the stars if you are able; so numerous shall your seed be."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.15] And Abraham believed Melchizedek," and it was counted to him for righteousness."[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.15] And then [[Melchizedek]] told [[Abraham]] the [[story]] of the [[future]] occupation of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canaan Canaan] by his [[offspring]] after their [[sojourn]] in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt].

93:6.4 This [[covenant]] of [[Melchizedek]] with [[Abraham]] [[represents]] the great Urantian [[agreement]] between [[divinity]] and [[humanity]] whereby [[God]] agrees to do everything; man only agrees to [[believe]] God's [[promises]] and follow his instructions. Heretofore it had been believed that [[salvation]] could be secured only by [[work]]s—[[sacrifices]] and offerings; now, [[Melchizedek]] again brought to [[Urantia]] the good news that [[salvation]], [[favor]] with [[God]], is to be had by [[faith]]. But this [[gospel]] of [[simple]] [[faith]] in God was too advanced; the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic Semitic] tribesmen subsequently preferred to go back to the older [[sacrifices]] and [[atonement]] for [[sin]] by the shedding of blood.

93:7.1 [[Melchizedek]] continued for some years to instruct his [[students]] and to train the [[Salem]] missionaries, who penetrated to all the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]], especially to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egypt Egypt], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia_Minor Asia Minor]. And as the decades passed, these [[teachers]] [[journeyed]] farther and farther from [[Salem]], carrying with them [[Machiventa]]'s [[gospel]] of [[belief]] and [[faith]] in [[God]].

93:7.2 The descendants of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:5._ADAMSON_AND_RATTA Adamson], clustered about the shores of the lake of [[Van]], were willing listeners to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hittite Hittite] [[teachers]] of the [[Salem]] [[cult]]. From this onetime [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_78#78:4._THE_ANDITES Andite] center, [[teachers]] were dispatched to the remote regions of both [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europe Europe] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asia Asia].

93:7.3 But the task was so great and the [[tribes]] were so backward that the results were vague and indefinite. From one [[generation]] to another the [[Salem]] gospel found lodgment here and there, but except in [[Palestine]], never was the [[idea]] of [[Monotheism|one God]] able to claim the continued [[allegiance]] of a whole [[tribe]] or [[race]]. Long before the coming of [[Jesus]] the teachings of the early [[Salem]] missionaries had become generally submerged in the older and more [[universal]] [[superstitions]] and [[beliefs]]. The [[original]] [[Melchizedek]] gospel had been almost wholly absorbed in the [[beliefs]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_goddess Great Mother], the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_god Sun], and other [[ancient]] [[cults]].

93:9.6 The teaching of [[Melchizedek]] was full and replete, but the [[records]] of these days seemed impossible and [[fantastic]] to the later [[Hebrew]] [[priests]], although many had some [[understanding]] of these [[transactions]], at least up to the times of the en masse editing of the [[Old Testament]] records in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylon Babylon].

93:9.7 What the [[Old Testament]] records describe as [[conversations]] between [[Abraham]] and [[God]] were in [[reality]] [[conferences]] between Abraham and [[Melchizedek]]. Later scribes regarded the term [[Melchizedek]] as synonymous with [[God]]. The [[record]] of so many [[contacts]] of Abraham and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah Sarah] with "the angel of the Lord"[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Genesis#Chapter_.12] refers to their numerous visits with [[Melchizedek]].

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keturah Keturah] was not a [[wife]] of Abraham; like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagar Hagar], she was merely a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concubine concubine].

93:9.9 The national [[ego]] of the [[Jews]] was tremendously [[depressed]] by the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_captivity Babylonian captivity]. In their [[reaction]] against national inferiority they swung to the other extreme of [[national]] and racial [[egotism]], in which they distorted and [[perverted]] their [[traditions]] with the view of exalting themselves above all races as the [[chosen people]] of [[God]]; and hence they carefully [[edited]] all their [[records]] for the [[purpose]] of raising [[Abraham]] and their other national [[leaders]] high up above all other [[persons]], not excepting [[Melchizedek]] himself. The [[Hebrew]] scribes therefore destroyed every [[record]] of these momentous times which they could find, preserving only the [[narrative]] of the meeting of [[Abraham]] and [[Melchizedek]] after the battle of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siddim Siddim], which they deemed [[reflected]] great [[honor]] upon [[Abraham]].

93:10.1 During the years of [[Machiventa]]'s [[incarnation]] the [[Urantia]] [[Melchizedek receivers]] functioned as eleven. When Machiventa [[considered]] that his mission as an emergency Son was finished, he signalized this [[fact]] to his eleven associates, and they [[immediately]] made ready the [[technique]] whereby he was to be released from the [[flesh]] and safely restored to his original [[Melchizedek]] [[status]]. And on the third day after his disappearance from [[Salem]] he appeared among his eleven fellows of the [[Urantia]] assignment and resumed his interrupted [[career]] as one of the [[planetary receivers]] of 606 of [[Satania]].

93:10.2 [[Machiventa]] terminated his [[bestowal]] as a [[creature]] of flesh and blood just as suddenly and unceremoniously as he had begun it. Neither his [[appearance]] nor departure were accompanied by any unusual announcement or [[demonstration]]; neither [[resurrection]] roll call nor ending of planetary [[dispensation]] marked his [[appearance]] on [[Urantia]]; his was an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION emergency bestowal]. But [[Machiventa]] did not end his [[sojourn]] in the flesh of human beings until he had been duly released by the [[Father Melchizedek]] and had been informed that his emergency bestowal had received the approval of the [[chief executive]] of [[Nebadon]], [[Gabriel]] of [[Salvington]].

93:10.3 [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] continued to take a great interest in the affairs of the [[descendants]] of those men who had believed in his teachings when he was in the [[flesh]]. But the [[progeny]] of [[Abraham]] through [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac Isaac] as intermarried with the [[Kenites]] were the only line which long continued to nourish any clear [[concept]] of the [[Salem]] teachings.

93:10.4 This same [[Melchizedek]] continued to [[collaborate]] throughout the nineteen succeeding centuries with the many [[prophets]] and [[seers]], thus endeavoring to keep alive the [[truths]] of [[Salem]] until the fullness of the time for [[Michael]]'s [[appearance]] on [[earth]].

93:10.5 [[Machiventa]] continued as a [[planetary receiver]] up to the times of the triumph of [[Michael]] on [[Urantia]]. Subsequently, he was attached to the [[Urantia]] service on [[Jerusem]] as one of the [[Council of 24|four and twenty]] directors, only just recently having been elevated to the position of [[personal]] [[ambassador]] on [[Jerusem]] of the [[Creator Son]], bearing the title Vicegerent [[Planetary Prince]] of [[Urantia]]. It is our [[belief]] that, as long as [[Urantia]] remains an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_49 inhabited planet], [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] will not be fully returned to the [[duties]] of his order of sonship but will remain, speaking in the terms of time, forever a planetary minister representing [[Christ]] [[Michael]].

93:10.6 As his was an [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_35#35:4._SPECIAL_WORK_OF_THE_MELCHIZEDEKS emergency bestowal] on [[Urantia]], it does not appear from the [[records]] what Machiventa's [[future]] may be. It may [[develop]] that the [[Melchizedek]] corps of [[Nebadon]] have sustained the permanent loss of one of their number. Recent rulings handed down from the [[Most Highs]] of [[Edentia]], and later confirmed by the [[Ancients of Days]] of [[Uversa]], strongly suggest that this bestowal Melchizedek is destined to take the place of the fallen [[Planetary Prince]], [[Caligastia]]. If our conjectures in this respect are correct, it is altogether possible that [[Machiventa]] [[Melchizedek]] may again appear in person on [[Urantia]] and in some [[modified]] [[manner]] resume the role of the dethroned [[Planetary Prince]], or else appear on [[earth]] to function as vicegerent Planetary Prince representing [[Christ]] [[Michael]], who now actually holds the title of Planetary Prince of [[Urantia]]. While it is far from [[clear]] to us as to what [[Machiventa]]'s [[destiny]] may be, nevertheless, [[events]] which have so recently taken place strongly suggest that the foregoing conjectures are probably not far from the [[truth]].

93:10.7 We well [[understand]] how, by his triumph on [[Urantia]], [[Michael]] became the successor of both [[Caligastia]] and [[Adam]]; how he became the planetary ''[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Book_of_Isaiah#Chapter_.9 Prince of Peace]'' and the ''[http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionaries/bakers-evangelical-dictionary/adam-the-second.html second Adam]''. And now we behold the conferring upon this [[Melchizedek]] of the title Vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia. Will he also be constituted Vicegerent [[Material Son]] of Urantia? Or is there a possibility that an unexpected and unprecedented [[event]] is to take place, the sometime return to the [[planet]] of [[Adam and Eve]] or certain of their progeny as [[representatives]] of [[Michael]] with the titles vicegerents of the [http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionaries/bakers-evangelical-dictionary/adam-the-second.html second Adam] of [[Urantia]]?

93:10.8 And all these [[speculations]] associated with the certainty of [[future]] appearances of both [[Magisterial Son|Magisterial]] and [[Trinity Teacher Sons]], in conjunction with the explicit [[promise]] of the [[Creator Son]] to return sometime, make [[Urantia]] a planet of [[future]] uncertainty and render it one of the most interesting and [[intriguing]] [[spheres]] in all the [[universe]] of [[Nebadon]]. It is altogether possible that, in some [[future]] age when [[Urantia]] is approaching the era of [[light and life]], after the affairs of the [[Lucifer rebellion]] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_67#67:1._THE_CALIGASTIA_BETRAYAL Caligastia secession] have been finally [[adjudicated]], we may [[witness]] the [[presence]] on [[Urantia]], simultaneously, of [[Machiventa]], [[Adam and Eve|Adam, Eve]], and [[Christ]] [[Michael]], as well as either a [[Magisterial Son]] or even [[Trinity Teacher Sons]].

93:10.9 It has long been the [[opinion]] of our order that [[Machiventa]]'s [[presence]] on the [[Jerusem]] corps of Urantia directors, the [[Council of 24|four and twenty counselors]], is sufficient [[evidence]] to warrant the [[belief]] that he is destined to follow the [[mortals]] of [[Urantia]] on through the [[universe]] [[scheme]] of [[progression]] and [[ascension]] even to the [[Paradise]] [[Corps of the Finality]]. We know that [[Adam and Eve]] are thus destined to accompany their [[earth]] fellows on the [[Ascension Career|Paradise adventure]] when [[Urantia]] has become settled in [[light and life]].
