Melchizedek, Mantutia

56:10.23This pa­per on Uni­ver­sal Unity is the twenty-fifth of a se­ries of pre­sen­ta­tions by var­i­ous au­thors, hav­ing been spon­sored as a group by a com­mis­sion of Neb­a­don per­son­al­i­ties num­ber­ing twelve and act­ing un­der the di­rec­tion of Man­tu­tia Mel­chiz­e­dek. We in­dited these nar­ra­tives and put them in the En­glish lan­guage, by a tech­nique au­tho­rized by our su­pe­ri­ors, in the year 1934 of Uran­tia time.

119:8.9This pa­per, de­pict­ing the seven be­stowals of Christ Mi­chael, is the sixty-third of a se­ries of pre­sen­ta­tions, spon­sored by nu­mer­ous per­son­al­i­ties, nar­rat­ing the his­tory of Uran­tia down to the time of Mi­chael’s ap­pear­ance on earth in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh. These pa­pers were au­tho­rized by a Neb­a­don com­mis­sion of twelve act­ing un­der the di­rec­tion of Man­tu­tia Mel­chiz­e­dek. We in­dited these nar­ra­tives and put them in the En­glish lan­guage, by a tech­nique au­tho­rized by our su­pe­ri­ors, in the year A.D. 1935 of Uran­tia time.

120:0.1As­signed by Ga­briel to super­vise the re­state­ment of the life of Mi­chael when on Uran­tia and in the like­ness of mor­tal flesh, I, the Mel­chiz­e­dek di­rec­tor of the rev­e­la­tory com­mis­sion in­trusted with this task, am au­tho­rized to pre­sent this nar­ra­tive of cer­tain events which im­me­di­ately pre­ceded the Cre­ator Son’s ar­rival on Uran­tia to em­bark upon the ter­mi­nal phase of his uni­verse be­stowal ex­pe­ri­ence. To live such iden­ti­cal lives as he im­poses upon the in­tel­li­gent be­ings of his own cre­ation, thus to be­stow him­self in the like­ness of his var­i­ous or­ders of cre­ated be­ings, is a part of the price which ev­ery Cre­ator Son must pay for the full and su­preme sov­er­eignty of his self-made uni­verse of things and be­ings.
