tertiaphim

28:1.1These high an­gels are of rec­ord on the super­uni­verse head­quar­ters, and de­spite ser­vice in the lo­cal cre­ations, tech­ni­cally they are res­i­dents of these super­uni­verse cap­i­tals inas­much as they are not na­tive to the lo­cal uni­verses. Ter­tiaphim are chil­dren of the In­fi­nite Spirit and are per­son­al­ized on Par­a­dise in groups of one thou­sand. These su­per­nal be­ings of di­vine orig­i­nal­ity and near-su­preme ver­sa­til­ity are the gift of the In­fi­nite Spirit to the Cre­ator Sons of God.

28:1.2When a Mi­chael Son is de­tached from the pa­ren­tal regime of Par­a­dise and is made ready to go forth on the uni­verse ad­ven­ture of space, the In­fi­nite Spirit is de­liv­ered of a group of one thou­sand of these com­pan­ion spir­its. And these ma­jes­tic ter­tiaphim ac­com­pany this Cre­ator Son when he em­barks upon the ad­ven­ture of uni­verse or­ga­ni­za­tion.

28:1.3Through­out the early times of uni­verse build­ing, these one thou­sand ter­tiaphim are the only per­sonal staff of a Cre­ator Son. They ac­quire a mighty ex­pe­ri­ence as Son as­sis­tants dur­ing these stir­ring ages of uni­verse as­sem­bling and other as­tro­nom­i­cal ma­nip­u­la­tions. They serve by the side of the Cre­ator Son un­til the day of the per­son­al­iza­tion of the Bright and Morn­ing Star, the first-born of a lo­cal uni­verse. There­upon the for­mal res­ig­na­tions of the ter­tiaphim are ten­dered and ac­cepted. And with the ap­pear­ance of the ini­tial or­ders of na­tive an­gelic life, they re­tire from ac­tive ser­vice in the lo­cal uni­verse and be­come the li­ai­son min­is­ters be­tween the Cre­ator Son of for­mer at­tach­ment and the An­cients of Days of the super­uni­verse con­cerned.

119:2.4And then, by the same tech­nique ob­served at the time of his de­par­ture in con­nec­tion with the Mel­chiz­e­dek be­stowal, Mi­chael again took leave of his head­quar­ters sphere. Three days af­ter this un­ex­plained leave-tak­ing there ap­peared among the re­serve corps of the pri­mary La­non­an­dek Sons of Neb­a­don, a new and un­known mem­ber. This new Son ap­peared at noon, unan­nounced and ac­com­pa­nied by a lone ter­tiaphim who bore cre­den­tials from the Uversa An­cients of Days, cer­ti­fied by Im­manuel of Sal­ving­ton, di­rect­ing that this new Son be as­signed to sys­tem 11 of con­stel­la­tion 37 as the suc­ces­sor of the de­posed Lu­ten­tia and with full au­thor­ity as act­ing Sys­tem Sov­er­eign pend­ing the ap­point­ment of a new sov­er­eign.

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.

30:2.853. Ter­tiaphim.

37:4.2From time to time we thus ben­e­fit from the min­istry and as­sis­tance of such Par­a­dise-ori­gin be­ings as Per­fec­tors of Wis­dom, Di­vine Coun­selors, Uni­ver­sal Cen­sors, In­spired Trin­ity Spir­its, Trin­i­tized Sons, Soli­tary Mes­sen­gers, super­na­phim, se­con­a­phim, ter­tiaphim, and other gra­cious min­is­ters, who so­journ with us for the pur­pose of help­ing our na­tive per­son­al­i­ties in the ef­fort to bring all Neb­a­don into fuller har­mony with the ideas of Or­von­ton and the ide­als of Par­a­dise.
