After bringing into [[existence]] the [[beings]] of personal aid, such as the [[Bright and Morning Star]] and other [[administrative]] [[personalities]], in accordance with the [[divine]] [[purpose]] and [[creative]] plans of a given [[universe]], there occurs a new form of creative [[union]] between the [[Creator Son]] and the [[Creative Spirit]], the local universe Daughter of the [[Infinite Spirit]]. The [[personality]] offspring resulting from this creative [[partnership]] is the [[original]] [[Melchizedek]]—the '''Father Melchizedek'''—that [[unique]] [[being]] who subsequently [[collaborates]] with the Creator Son and the Creative Spirit to bring into existence the entire [[group]] of [[Melchizedeks|that name]].
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 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]].
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 periodically 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 special [[Life Carriers]] to the midsonite worlds, a type of inhabited planet not heretofore revealed on [[Urantia]].
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.
