Machiventa Melchizedek

Melchizedek

93:0.1The Mel­chiz­e­deks are widely known as emer­gency Sons, for they en­gage in an amaz­ing range of ac­tiv­i­ties on the worlds of a lo­cal uni­verse. When any ex­traor­di­nary prob­lem arises, or when some­thing un­usual is to be at­tempted, it is quite of­ten a Mel­chiz­e­dek who ac­cepts the as­sign­ment. The abil­ity of the Mel­chiz­e­dek Sons to func­tion in emer­gen­cies and on widely di­ver­gent lev­els of the uni­verse, even on the phys­i­cal level of per­son­al­ity man­i­fes­ta­tion, is pe­cu­liar to their or­der. Only the Life Car­ri­ers share to any de­gree this meta­mor­phic range of per­son­al­ity func­tion.

93:0.2The Mel­chiz­e­dek or­der of uni­verse son­ship has been ex­ceed­ingly ac­tive on Uran­tia. A corps of twelve served in con­junc­tion with the Life Car­ri­ers. A later corps of twelve be­came re­ceivers for your world shortly af­ter the Cali­gas­tia se­ces­sion and con­tin­ued in au­thor­ity un­til the time of Adam and Eve. These twelve Mel­chiz­e­deks re­turned to Uran­tia upon the de­fault of Adam and Eve, and they con­tin­ued there­after as plan­e­tary re­ceivers on down to the day when Je­sus of Naz­a­reth, as the Son of Man, be­came the tit­u­lar Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia.
