The Paradise Sons of God

20:1.1All de­scend­ing Sons of God have high and di­vine ori­gins. They are ded­i­cated to the de­scend­ing min­istry of ser­vice on the worlds and sys­tems of time and space, there to fa­cil­i­tate the prog­ress in the Par­a­dise climb of the lowly crea­tures of evo­lu­tion­ary ori­gin—the as­cend­ing sons of God. Of the nu­mer­ous or­ders of de­scend­ing Sons, seven will be de­picted in these nar­ra­tives. Those Sons who come forth from the De­i­ties on the cen­tral Isle of Light and Life are called the Par­a­dise Sons of God and em­brace the fol­low­ing three or­ders:

20:1.21. Cre­ator Sons—the Mi­cha­els.

20:1.32. Mag­is­te­rial Sons—the Avo­nals.

20:1.43. Trin­ity Teacher Sons—the Day­nals.

20:1.5The re­main­ing four or­ders of de­scend­ing son­ship are known as the Lo­cal Uni­verse Sons of God:

20:1.64. Mel­chiz­e­dek Sons.

20:1.75. Vo­ron­da­dek Sons.

20:1.86. La­non­an­dek Sons.

20:1.97. The Life Car­ri­ers.

20:1.10Mel­chiz­e­deks are the joint off­spring of a lo­cal uni­verse Cre­ator Son, Cre­ative Spirit, and Fa­ther Mel­chiz­e­dek. Both Voron­dadeks and La­non­an­deks are brought into be­ing by a Cre­ator Son and his Cre­ative Spirit as­so­ciate. Voron­dadeks are best known as the Most Highs, the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers; La­non­an­deks as Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns and as Plan­e­tary Princes. The three­fold or­der of Life Car­ri­ers is brought into be­ing by a Cre­ator Son and Cre­ative Spirit as­so­ci­ated with one of the three An­cients of Days of the super­uni­verse of ju­ris­dic­tion. But the na­tures and ac­tiv­i­ties of these Lo­cal Uni­verse Sons of God are more prop­erly por­trayed in those pa­pers deal­ing with the af­fairs of the lo­cal cre­ations.

20:1.11The Par­a­dise Sons of God are of three­fold ori­gin: The pri­mary or Cre­ator Sons are brought into be­ing by the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther and the Eter­nal Son; the sec­ondary or Mag­is­te­rial Sons are chil­dren of the Eter­nal Son and the In­fi­nite Spirit; the Trin­ity Teacher Sons are the off­spring of the Fa­ther, Son, and Spirit. From the stand­point of ser­vice, wor­ship, and sup­pli­ca­tion the Par­a­dise Sons are as one; their spirit is one, and their work is iden­ti­cal in qual­ity and com­plete­ness.

20:1.12As the Par­a­dise or­ders of Days proved to be di­vine ad­min­is­tra­tors, so have the or­ders of Par­a­dise Sons re­vealed them­selves as di­vine min­is­ters—cre­ators, servers, be­stow­ers, judges, teach­ers, and truth re­veal­ers. They range the uni­verse of uni­verses from the shores of the eter­nal Isle to the in­hab­ited worlds of time and space, per­form­ing man­i­fold ser­vices in the cen­tral and super­uni­verses not dis­closed in these nar­ra­tives. They are var­i­ously or­ga­nized, de­pen­dent on the na­ture and where­abouts of their ser­vice, but in a lo­cal uni­verse both Mag­is­te­rial and Teacher Sons serve un­der the di­rec­tion of the Cre­ator Son who pre­sides over that do­main.

20:1.13The Cre­ator Sons seem to pos­sess a spir­i­tual en­dow­ment cen­ter­ing in their per­sons, which they con­trol and which they can be­stow, as did your own Cre­ator Son when he poured out his spirit upon all mor­tal flesh on Uran­tia. Each Cre­ator Son is en­dowed with this spir­i­tual draw­ing power in his own realm; he is per­son­ally con­scious of ev­ery act and emo­tion of ev­ery de­scend­ing Son of God serv­ing in his do­main. Here is a di­vine re­flec­tion, a lo­cal uni­verse du­pli­ca­tion, of that ab­so­lute spir­i­tual draw­ing power of the Eter­nal Son which en­ables him to reach out to make and main­tain con­tact with all his Par­a­dise Sons, no mat­ter where they may be in all the uni­verse of uni­verses.

20:1.14The Par­a­dise Cre­ator Sons serve not only as Sons in their de­scend­ing min­is­tra­tions of ser­vice and be­stowal, but when they have com­pleted their be­stowal ca­reers, each func­tions as a uni­verse Fa­ther in his own cre­ation, while the other Sons of God con­tinue the ser­vice of be­stowal and spir­i­tual up­lift­ing de­signed to win the plan­ets, one by one, to the will­ing rec­og­ni­tion of the lov­ing rule of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther, cul­mi­nat­ing in crea­ture con­se­cra­tion to the will of the Par­a­dise Fa­ther and in plan­e­tary loy­alty to the uni­verse sov­er­eignty of his Cre­ator Son.

20:1.15In a sev­en­fold Cre­ator Son, Cre­ator and crea­ture are for­ever blended in un­der­stand­ing, sym­pa­thetic, and mer­ci­ful as­so­ci­a­tion. The en­tire or­der of Mi­chael, the Cre­ator Sons, is so unique that the con­sid­er­a­tion of their na­tures and ac­tiv­i­ties will be re­served to the next pa­per in this se­ries, while this nar­ra­tive will be chiefly con­cerned with the two re­main­ing or­ders of Par­a­dise son­ship: the Mag­is­te­rial Sons and the Trin­ity Teacher Sons.
