The Paradise Sons of God

Perfector of Wisdom

10. United Ministry of the Paradise Sons

20:10.1All the Par­a­dise Sons of God are di­vine in ori­gin and in na­ture. The work of each Par­a­dise Son in be­half of each world is just as if the Son of ser­vice were the first and only Son of God.

20:10.2The Par­a­dise Sons are the di­vine pre­sen­ta­tion of the act­ing na­tures of the three per­sons of De­ity to the do­mains of time and space. The Cre­ator, Mag­is­te­rial, and Teacher Sons are the gifts of the eter­nal De­i­ties to the chil­dren of men and to all other uni­verse crea­tures of as­cen­sion po­ten­tial. These Sons of God are the di­vine min­is­ters who are un­ceas­ingly de­voted to the work of help­ing the crea­tures of time at­tain the high spir­i­tual goal of eter­nity.

20:10.3In the Cre­ator Sons the love of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther is blended with the mercy of the Eter­nal Son and is dis­closed to the lo­cal uni­verses in the cre­ative power, lov­ing min­istry, and un­der­stand­ing sov­er­eignty of the Mi­cha­els. In the Mag­is­te­rial Sons the mercy of the Eter­nal Son, united with the min­istry of the In­fi­nite Spirit, is re­vealed to the evo­lu­tion­ary do­mains in the ca­reers of these Avo­nals of judg­ment, ser­vice, and be­stowal. In the Trin­ity Teacher Sons the love, mercy, and min­istry of the three Par­a­dise De­i­ties are co-or­di­nated on the high­est time-space value-lev­els and are pre­sented to the uni­verses as liv­ing truth, di­vine good­ness, and true spir­i­tual beauty.

20:10.4In the lo­cal uni­verses these or­ders of son­ship col­lab­o­rate to ef­fect the rev­e­la­tion of the De­i­ties of Par­a­dise to the crea­tures of space: As the Fa­ther of a lo­cal uni­verse, a Cre­ator Son por­trays the in­fi­nite char­ac­ter of the Uni­ver­sal Fa­ther. As the be­stowal Sons of mercy, the Avo­nals re­veal the match­less na­ture of the Eter­nal Son of in­fi­nite com­pas­sion. As the true teach­ers of as­cend­ing per­son­al­i­ties, the Trin­ity Day­nal Sons dis­close the teacher per­son­al­ity of the In­fi­nite Spirit. In their di­vinely per­fect co-op­er­a­tion, Mi­cha­els, Avo­nals, and Day­nals are con­tribut­ing to the ac­tu­al­iza­tion and rev­e­la­tion of the per­son­al­ity and sov­er­eignty of God the Su­preme in and to the time-space uni­verses. In the har­mony of their tri­une ac­tiv­i­ties these Par­a­dise Sons of God ever func­tion in the van­guard of the per­son­al­i­ties of De­ity as they fol­low the never-end­ing ex­pan­sion of the di­vin­ity of the First Great Source and Cen­ter from the ev­er­last­ing Isle of Par­a­dise into the un­known depths of space.
