The Father's Temple is a monument dedicated to the Universal Father found throughout the universes especially upon worlds serving as headquarters for various administrative units of the Master Universe. There usually exists at least two of these on normal evolutionary worlds, one at the center of the headquarters of a Planetary Prince and another at the center of the Garden headquarters. Both these were lost on Urantia due first to the Lucifer Rebellion and then later to the Default of Adam and Eve. No doubt, these centers will be restored in due time when the ill effects of these double setbacks are corrected.

Quotes

The buildings of Dalamatia were all one story except the council headquarters, which were two stories, and the central temple of the Father of all, which was small but three stories in height. 66:3.5

When Van and his associates made ready the Garden for Adam and Eve, they transplanted the Edentia tree to the Garden of Eden, where, once again, it grew in a central, circular courtyard of another temple to the Father. And Adam and Eve periodically partook of its fruit for the maintenance of their dual form of physical life.

When the plans of the Material Son went astray, Adam and his family were not permitted to carry the core of the tree away from the Garden. When the Nodites invaded Eden, they were told that they would become as “gods if they partook of the fruit of the tree.” Much to their surprise they found it unguarded. They ate freely of the fruit for years, but it did nothing for them; they were all material mortals of the realm; they lacked that endowment which acted as a complement to the fruit of the tree. They became enraged at their inability to benefit from the tree of life, and in connection with one of their internal wars, the temple and the tree were both destroyed by fire; only the stone wall stood until the Garden was subsequently submerged. This was the second temple of the Father to perish. 73:6.6-7
