The Constellations

43:4.1The most holy mount of as­sem­bly is the dwell­ing place of the Faith­ful of Days, the rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the Par­a­dise Trin­ity who func­tions on Eden­tia.

43:4.2This Faith­ful of Days is a Trin­ity Son of Par­a­dise and has been pres­ent on Eden­tia as the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Im­manuel since the cre­ation of the head­quar­ters world. Ever the Faith­ful of Days stands at the right hand of the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers to coun­sel them, but never does he prof­fer ad­vice un­less it is asked for. The high Sons of Par­a­dise never par­tic­i­pate in the con­duct of the af­fairs of a lo­cal uni­verse ex­cept upon the pe­ti­tion of the act­ing rulers of such do­mains. But all that a Union of Days is to a Cre­ator Son, a Faith­ful of Days is to the Most Highs of a con­stel­la­tion.

43:4.3The res­i­dence of the Eden­tia Faith­ful of Days is the con­stel­la­tion cen­ter of the Par­a­dise sys­tem of ex­trau­ni­verse com­mu­ni­ca­tion and in­tel­li­gence. These Trin­ity Sons, with their staffs of Ha­vona and Par­a­dise per­son­al­i­ties, in li­ai­son with the super­vis­ing Union of Days, are in di­rect and con­stant com­mu­ni­ca­tion with their or­der through­out all the uni­verses, even to Ha­vona and Par­a­dise.

43:4.4The most holy mount is ex­qui­sitely beau­ti­ful and mar­velously ap­pointed, but the ac­tual res­i­dence of the Par­a­dise Son is mod­est in com­par­i­son with the cen­tral abode of the Most Highs and the sur­round­ing sev­enty struc­tures com­pris­ing the res­i­den­tial unit of the Vo­ron­da­dek Sons. These ap­point­ments are ex­clu­sively res­i­den­tial; they are en­tirely sep­a­rate from the ex­ten­sive ad­min­is­tra­tive head­quar­ters build­ings wherein the af­fairs of the con­stel­la­tion are trans­acted.

43:4.5The res­i­dence of the Faith­ful of Days on Eden­tia is lo­cated to the north of these res­i­dences of the Most Highs and is known as the “mount of Par­a­dise as­sem­bly.” On this con­se­crated high­land the as­cend­ing mor­tals pe­ri­od­i­cally as­sem­ble to hear this Son of Par­a­dise tell of the long and in­trigu­ing jour­ney of pro­gress­ing mor­tals through the one bil­lion per­fec­tion worlds of Ha­vona and on to the in­de­scrib­able de­lights of Par­a­dise. And it is at these spe­cial gath­er­ings on Mount As­sem­bly that the mor­ontia mor­tals be­come more fully ac­quainted with the var­i­ous groups of per­son­al­i­ties of ori­gin in the cen­tral uni­verse.

43:4.6The traitorous Lu­cifer, one­time sov­er­eign of Sa­ta­nia, in an­nounc­ing his claims to in­creased ju­ris­dic­tion, sought to dis­place all su­pe­rior or­ders of son­ship in the gov­ern­men­tal plan of the lo­cal uni­verse. He pur­posed in his heart, say­ing: “I will ex­alt my throne above the Sons of God; I will sit upon the mount of as­sem­bly in the north; I will be like the Most High.”

43:4.7The one hun­dred Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns come pe­ri­od­i­cally to the Eden­tia con­claves which de­lib­er­ate on the wel­fare of the con­stel­la­tion. Af­ter the Sa­ta­nia re­bel­lion the arch­re­bels of Je­ru­sem were wont to come up to these Eden­tia coun­cils just as they had on for­mer oc­ca­sions. And there was found no way to stop this ar­ro­gant ef­fron­tery un­til af­ter the be­stowal of Mi­chael on Uran­tia and his sub­se­quent as­sump­tion of un­lim­ited sov­er­eignty through­out all Neb­a­don. Never, since that day, have these in­sti­ga­tors of sin been per­mit­ted to sit in the Eden­tia coun­cils of the loyal Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns.

43:4.8That the teach­ers of olden times knew of these things is shown by the rec­ord: “And there was a day when the Sons of God came to pre­sent them­selves be­fore the Most Highs, and Sa­tan came also and pre­sented him­self among them.” And this is a state­ment of fact re­gard­less of the con­nec­tion in which it chances to ap­pear.

43:4.9Since the tri­umph of Christ, all Nor­la­ti­adek is be­ing cleansed of sin and rebels. Some­time be­fore Mi­chael’s death in the flesh the fallen Lu­cifer’s as­so­ciate, Sa­tan, sought to at­tend such an Eden­tia con­clave, but the so­lid­i­fi­ca­tion of sen­ti­ment against the arch­re­bels had reached the point where the doors of sym­pa­thy were so well-nigh uni­ver­sally closed that there could be found no stand­ing ground for the Sa­ta­nia ad­ver­saries. When there ex­ists no open door for the re­cep­tion of evil, there ex­ists no op­por­tu­nity for the en­ter­tain­ment of sin. The doors of the hearts of all Eden­tia closed against Sa­tan; he was unan­i­mously re­jected by the as­sem­bled Sys­tem Sov­er­eigns, and it was at this time that the Son of Man “be­held Sa­tan fall as light­ning from heaven.”

43:4.10Since the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion a new struc­ture has been pro­vided near the res­i­dence of the Faith­ful of Days. This tem­po­rary ed­i­fice is the head­quar­ters of the Most High li­ai­son, who func­tions in close touch with the Par­a­dise Son as ad­viser to the con­stel­la­tion gov­ern­ment in all mat­ters re­spect­ing the pol­icy and at­ti­tude of the or­der of Days to­ward sin and re­bel­lion.
