roll call

• of justice › all Adjuster-indwelt beings are on

49:6.113. Mor­tals of the pro­ba­tion­ary-de­pen­dent or­ders of as­cen­sion. The ar­rival of an Ad­juster con­sti­tutes iden­tity in the eyes of the uni­verse, and all in­dwelt be­ings are on the roll calls of jus­tice. But tem­po­ral life on the evo­lu­tion­ary worlds is un­cer­tain, and many die in youth be­fore choos­ing the Par­a­dise ca­reer. Such Ad­juster-in­dwelt chil­dren and youths fol­low the par­ent of most ad­vanced spir­i­tual sta­tus, thus go­ing to the sys­tem fi­nal­i­ter world (the pro­ba­tion­ary nurs­ery) on the third day, at a spe­cial res­ur­rec­tion, or at the reg­u­lar mil­len­nial and dis­pen­sa­tional roll calls.

• of justice › guardian angels respond to roll call; Adjusters make no answer
• of mercy › resurrection of sleeping survivors

113:6.8The tech­nique of jus­tice de­mands that per­sonal or group guard­i­ans shall re­spond to the dis­pen­sa­tional roll call in be­half of all non­sur­viv­ing per­son­al­i­ties. The Ad­justers of such non­sur­vivors do not re­turn, and when the rolls are called, the ser­a­phim re­spond, but the Ad­justers make no an­swer. This con­sti­tutes the “res­ur­rec­tion of the un­just,” in re­al­ity the for­mal rec­og­ni­tion of the ces­sa­tion of crea­ture ex­is­tence. This roll call of jus­tice al­ways im­me­di­ately fol­lows the roll call of mercy, the res­ur­rec­tion of the sleep­ing sur­vivors. But these are mat­ters which are of con­cern to none but the su­preme and all-know­ing Judges of sur­vival val­ues. Such prob­lems of ad­ju­di­ca­tion do not re­ally con­cern us.

• rejoice your names are written on rolls of heaven

163:6.2When the sev­enty re­lated how “even the dev­ils were sub­ject” to them, they re­ferred to the won­der­ful cures they had wrought in the cases of vic­tims of ner­vous dis­or­ders. Nev­er­the­less, there had been a few cases of real spirit pos­ses­sion re­lieved by these min­is­ters, and re­fer­ring to these, Je­sus said: “It is not strange that these dis­obe­di­ent mi­nor spir­its should be sub­ject to you, see­ing that I be­held Sa­tan falling as light­ning from heaven. But re­joice not so much over this, for I de­clare to you that, as soon as I re­turn to my Fa­ther, we will send forth our spir­its into the very minds of men so that no more can these few lost spir­its en­ter the minds of un­for­tu­nate mor­tals. I re­joice with you that you have power with men, but be not lifted up be­cause of this ex­pe­ri­ence but the rather re­joice that your names are writ­ten on the rolls of heaven, and that you are thus to go for­ward in an end­less ca­reer of spir­i­tual con­quest.”
