The Constellations

43:5.1The ro­ta­tion of the Most Highs on Eden­tia was sus­pended at the time of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. We now have the same rulers who were on duty at that time. We in­fer that no change in these rulers will be made un­til Lu­cifer and his as­so­ciates are fi­nally dis­posed of.

43:5.2The pres­ent gov­ern­ment of the con­stel­la­tion, how­ever, has been ex­panded to in­clude twelve Sons of the Vo­ron­da­dek or­der. These twelve are as fol­lows:

43:5.31. The Con­stel­la­tion Fa­ther. The pres­ent Most High ruler of Nor­la­ti­adek is num­ber 617,318 of the Vo­ron­da­dek se­ries of Neb­a­don. He saw ser­vice in many con­stel­la­tions through­out our lo­cal uni­verse be­fore tak­ing up his Eden­tia re­spon­si­bil­i­ties.

43:5.42. The se­nior Most High as­so­ciate.

43:5.53. The ju­nior Most High as­so­ciate.

43:5.64. The Most High ad­viser, the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Mi­chael since his at­tain­ment of the sta­tus of a Mas­ter Son.

43:5.75. The Most High ex­ec­u­tive, the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of Ga­briel sta­tioned on Eden­tia ever since the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion.

43:5.86. The Most High chief of plan­e­tary ob­servers, the di­rec­tor of the Vo­ron­da­dek ob­servers sta­tioned on the iso­lated worlds of Sa­ta­nia.

43:5.97. The Most High ref­eree, the Vo­ron­da­dek Son in­trusted with the duty of ad­just­ing all dif­fi­cul­ties con­se­quen­tial to re­bel­lion within the con­stel­la­tion.

43:5.108. The Most High emer­gency ad­min­is­tra­tor, the Vo­ron­da­dek Son charged with the task of adapt­ing the emer­gency en­act­ments of the Nor­la­ti­adek leg­is­la­ture to the re­bel­lion-iso­lated worlds of Sa­ta­nia.

43:5.119. The Most High me­di­a­tor, the Vo­ron­da­dek Son as­signed to har­mo­nize the spe­cial be­stowal ad­just­ments on Uran­tia with the rou­tine ad­min­is­tra­tion of the con­stel­la­tion. The pres­ence of cer­tain arch­an­gel ac­tiv­i­ties and nu­mer­ous other ir­reg­u­lar min­is­tra­tions on Uran­tia, to­gether with the spe­cial ac­tiv­i­ties of the Bril­liant Evening Stars on Je­ru­sem, ne­ces­si­tates the func­tion­ing of this Son.

43:5.1210. The Most High judge-ad­vo­cate, the head of the emer­gency tri­bu­nal de­voted to the ad­just­ment of the spe­cial prob­lems of Nor­la­ti­adek grow­ing out of the con­fu­sion con­se­quent upon the Sa­ta­nia re­bel­lion.

43:5.1311. The Most High li­ai­son, the Vo­ron­da­dek Son at­tached to the Eden­tia rulers but com­mis­sioned as a spe­cial coun­selor with the Faith­ful of Days re­gard­ing the best course to pur­sue in the man­age­ment of prob­lems per­tain­ing to re­bel­lion and crea­ture dis­loy­alty.

43:5.1412. The Most High di­rec­tor, the pres­i­dent of the emer­gency coun­cil of Eden­tia. All per­son­al­i­ties as­signed to Nor­la­ti­adek be­cause of the Sa­ta­nia up­heaval con­sti­tute the emer­gency coun­cil, and their pre­sid­ing of­fi­cer is a Vo­ron­da­dek Son of ex­traor­di­nary ex­pe­ri­ence.

43:5.15And this takes no ac­count of the nu­mer­ous Voron­dadeks, en­voys of Neb­a­don con­stel­la­tions, and oth­ers who are also res­i­dent on Eden­tia.

43:5.16Ever since the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion the Eden­tia Fa­thers have ex­er­cised a spe­cial care over Uran­tia and the other iso­lated worlds of Sa­ta­nia. Long ago the prophet rec­og­nized the con­trol­ling hand of the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­thers in the af­fairs of na­tions. “When the Most High di­vided to the na­tions their in­her­i­tance, when he sep­a­rated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the peo­ple.”

43:5.17Ev­ery quar­an­tined or iso­lated world has a Vo­ron­da­dek Son act­ing as an ob­server. He does not par­tic­i­pate in plan­e­tary ad­min­is­tra­tion ex­cept when or­dered by the Con­stel­la­tion Fa­ther to in­ter­vene in the af­fairs of the na­tions. Ac­tu­ally it is this Most High ob­server who “rules in the king­doms of men.” Uran­tia is one of the iso­lated worlds of Nor­la­ti­adek, and a Vo­ron­da­dek ob­server has been sta­tioned on the planet ever since the Cali­gas­tia be­trayal. When Ma­chi­venta Mel­chiz­e­dek min­is­tered in semi­ma­te­rial form on Uran­tia, he paid re­spect­ful homage to the Most High ob­server then on duty, as it is writ­ten, “And Mel­chiz­e­dek, king of Salem, was the priest of the Most High.” Mel­chiz­e­dek re­vealed the re­la­tions of this Most High ob­server to Abra­ham when he said, “And blessed be the Most High, who has de­liv­ered your en­e­mies into your hand.”
