119:1.3All the in­hab­i­tants of Sal­ving­ton and those dwell­ing on the con­stel­la­tion and sys­tem head­quar­ters worlds as­sem­bled about their re­spec­tive re­ceiv­ing sta­tions for uni­verse in­tel­li­gence, hop­ing to get some word of the mis­sion and where­abouts of the Cre­ator Son. Not un­til the third day af­ter Mi­chael’s de­par­ture was any mes­sage of pos­si­ble sig­nif­i­cance re­ceived. On this day a com­mu­ni­ca­tion was reg­is­tered on Sal­ving­ton from the Mel­chiz­e­dek sphere, the head­quar­ters of that or­der in Neb­a­don, which sim­ply re­corded this ex­traor­di­nary and never-be­fore-heard-of trans­ac­tion: “At noon to­day there ap­peared on the re­ceiv­ing field of this world a strange Mel­chiz­e­dek Son, not of our num­ber but wholly like our or­der. He was ac­com­pa­nied by a soli­tary om­niaphim who bore cre­den­tials from Uversa and pre­sented or­ders ad­dressed to our chief, de­rived from the An­cients of Days and con­curred in by Im­manuel of Sal­ving­ton, di­rect­ing that this new Mel­chiz­e­dek Son be re­ceived into our or­der and as­signed to the emer­gency ser­vice of the Mel­chiz­e­deks of Neb­a­don. And it has been so or­dered; it has been done.”

119:1.5“And at noon on this day, with­out pre­vi­ous an­nounce­ment and wit­nessed by only three of our broth­er­hood, this vis­it­ing Son of our or­der dis­ap­peared from our world as he came, ac­com­pa­nied only by a soli­tary om­niaphim; and this rec­ord is now closed with the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion that this vis­i­tor lived as a Mel­chiz­e­dek, in the like­ness of a Mel­chiz­e­dek he worked as a Mel­chiz­e­dek, and he faith­fully per­formed all of his as­sign­ments as an emer­gency Son of our or­der. By uni­ver­sal con­sent he has be­come chief of Mel­chiz­e­deks, hav­ing earned our love and ado­ra­tion by his match­less wis­dom, su­preme love, and su­perb de­vo­tion to duty. He loved us, un­der­stood us, and served with us, and for­ever we are his loyal and de­voted fel­low Mel­chiz­e­deks, for this stranger on our world has now eter­nally be­come a uni­verse min­is­ter of Mel­chiz­e­dek na­ture.”

30:1.8414. Om­niaphim.

30:2.864. Om­niaphim.

25:4.64. The Om­niaphim.

25:8.1The Par­a­dise Com­pan­ions are a com­pos­ite or as­sem­bled group re­cruited from the ranks of the ser­a­phim, se­con­a­phim, super­na­phim, and om­niaphim. Though serv­ing for what you would re­gard as an ex­traor­di­nary length of time, they are not of per­ma­nent sta­tus. When this min­istry has been com­pleted, as a rule (but not in­vari­ably) they re­turn to those du­ties they per­formed when sum­moned to Par­a­dise ser­vice.

25:8.8Par­a­dise Com­pan­ions are as­signed in or­der of wait­ing ex­cept that an as­cender is never placed in the charge of a com­pan­ion whose na­ture is un­like his super­uni­verse type. If a Uran­tia mor­tal were ar­riv­ing on Par­a­dise to­day, there would be as­signed to him the first wait­ing com­pan­ion ei­ther of ori­gin in Or­von­ton or oth­er­wise of the na­ture of the Sev­enth Mas­ter Spirit. Hence the om­niaphim serve not with the as­cen­dant crea­tures from the seven super­uni­verses.

28:0.6Since the lat­ter two or­ders are not so di­rectly con­cerned with the as­cen­dant scheme of mor­tal pro­gres­sion, they will be briefly dis­cussed prior to the more ex­tended con­sid­er­a­tion of se­con­a­phim. Tech­ni­cally, nei­ther ter­tiaphim nor om­niaphim are min­is­ter­ing spir­its of the super­uni­verses, though both serve as spirit min­is­ters in these do­mains.

28:2.1Om­niaphim are cre­ated by the In­fi­nite Spirit in li­ai­son with the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they are the ex­clu­sive ser­vants and mes­sen­gers of these same Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives. Om­niaphim are of grand uni­verse as­sign­ment, and in Or­von­ton their corps main­tains head­quar­ters in the northerly parts of Uversa, where they re­side as a spe­cial cour­tesy colony. They are not of reg­istry on Uversa, nor are they at­tached to our ad­min­is­tra­tion. Nei­ther are they di­rectly con­cerned with the as­cen­dant scheme of mor­tal pro­gres­sion.

55:4.16The min­is­ter­ing-spirit quar­tets con­sist of: the se­raphic chief of the sphere, the super­uni­verse sec­o­raphic coun­selor, the arch­an­gel of trans­la­tions, and the om­niaphim who func­tions as the per­sonal rep­re­sen­ta­tive of the As­signed Sen­tinel sta­tioned on the sys­tem head­quar­ters. But these ad­vis­ers never prof­fer coun­sel un­less it is asked for.

26:1.132. The Min­is­ter­ing Spir­its of the Super­uni­verses—the se­con­a­phim, the ter­tiaphim, and the om­niaphim. Se­con­a­phim, the chil­dren of the Re­flec­tive Spir­its, var­i­ously serve in the seven super­uni­verses. Ter­tiaphim, of ori­gin in the In­fi­nite Spirit, are even­tu­ally ded­i­cated to the li­ai­son ser­vice of the Cre­ator Sons and the An­cients of Days. Om­niaphim are cre­ated con­cert­edly by the In­fi­nite Spirit and the Seven Su­preme Ex­ec­u­tives, and they are the ex­clu­sive ser­vants of the lat­ter. The dis­cus­sion of these three or­ders forms the sub­ject of a suc­ceed­ing nar­ra­tive in this se­ries.
