9 paragraphs · about 3 minutes

Every paragraph the index cites under Most High observer of Urantia, once, in the order of the book. Beside each stand the entries that cite it.

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

43:5.9–15 · seven paragraphs not cited here ·

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.”

109:7.7When the plan­e­tary Vo­ron­da­dek ob­server of Uran­tia—the Most High cus­to­dian who not long since as­sumed an emer­gency re­gency of your world—as­serted his au­thor­ity in the pres­ence of the res­i­dent gov­er­nor gen­eral, he be­gan his emer­gency ad­min­is­tra­tion of Uran­tia with a full staff of his own choos­ing. He im­me­di­ately as­signed to all his as­so­ciates and as­sis­tants their plan­e­tary du­ties. But he did not choose the three Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers who ap­peared in his pres­ence the in­stant he as­sumed the re­gency. He did not even know they would thus ap­pear, for they did not so man­i­fest their di­vine pres­ence at the time of a pre­vi­ous re­gency. And the Most High re­gent did not as­sign ser­vice or des­ig­nate du­ties for these vol­un­teer Per­son­al­ized Ad­justers. Nev­er­the­less, these three om­niper­sonal be­ings were among the most ac­tive of the nu­mer­ous or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings then serv­ing on Uran­tia.

114:4.1The sov­er­eignty of Uran­tia is fur­ther com­pli­cated by the one­time ar­bi­trary seizure of plan­e­tary au­thor­ity by the gov­ern­ment of Nor­la­ti­adek shortly af­ter the plan­e­tary re­bel­lion. There is still res­i­dent on Uran­tia a Vo­ron­da­dek Son, an ob­server for the Most Highs of Eden­tia and, in the ab­sence of di­rect ac­tion by Mi­chael, trus­tee of plan­e­tary sov­er­eignty. The pres­ent Most High ob­server (and some­time re­gent) is the twenty-third thus to serve on Uran­tia.

114:4.2There are cer­tain groups of plan­e­tary prob­lems which are still un­der the con­trol of the Most Highs of Eden­tia, ju­ris­dic­tion over them hav­ing been seized at the time of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. Au­thor­ity in these mat­ters is ex­er­cised by a Vo­ron­da­dek Son, the Nor­la­ti­adek ob­server, who main­tains very close ad­vi­sory re­la­tions with the plan­e­tary super­vi­sors. The race com­mis­sion­ers are very ac­tive on Uran­tia, and their var­i­ous group chiefs are in­for­mally at­tached to the res­i­dent Vo­ron­da­dek ob­server, who acts as their ad­vi­sory di­rec­tor.

114:4.3In a cri­sis the ac­tual and sov­er­eign head of the gov­ern­ment, ex­cept­ing in cer­tain purely spir­i­tual mat­ters, would be this Vo­ron­da­dek Son of Eden­tia now on ob­ser­va­tion duty. (In these ex­clu­sively spir­i­tual prob­lems and in cer­tain purely per­sonal mat­ters, the su­preme au­thor­ity seems to be vested in the com­mand­ing arch­an­gel at­tached to the di­vi­sional head­quar­ters of that or­der which was re­cently es­tab­lished on Uran­tia.)

114:4.4A Most High ob­server is em­pow­ered, at his dis­cre­tion, to seize the plan­e­tary gov­ern­ment in times of grave plan­e­tary crises, and it is of rec­ord that this has hap­pened thirty-three times in the his­tory of Uran­tia. At such times the Most High ob­server func­tions as the Most High re­gent, ex­er­cis­ing un­ques­tioned au­thor­ity over all min­is­ters and ad­min­is­tra­tors res­i­dent on the planet ex­cept­ing only the di­vi­sional or­ga­ni­za­tion of the arch­an­gels.

114:4.5Vo­ron­da­dek re­gen­cies are not pe­cu­liar to re­bel­lion-iso­lated plan­ets, for the Most Highs may in­ter­vene at any time in the af­fairs of the in­hab­ited worlds, in­ter­pos­ing the su­pe­rior wis­dom of the con­stel­la­tion rulers in the af­fairs of the king­doms of men.
