45:1.9Num­ber 7. The World of the Fa­ther. This is the silent sphere of the sys­tem. No group of be­ings is domi­ciled on it. The great tem­ple of light oc­cu­pies a cen­tral place, but no one can be dis­cerned therein. All be­ings of all the sys­tem worlds are wel­comed as wor­shipers.

45:1.10The seven satel­lites sur­round­ing the Fa­ther’s world are var­i­ously uti­lized in the dif­fer­ent sys­tems. In Sa­ta­nia they are now used as the de­ten­tion spheres for the in­terned groups of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion. The con­stel­la­tion cap­i­tal, Eden­tia, has no anal­o­gous prison worlds; the few ser­a­phim and cheru­bim who went over to the rebels in the Sa­ta­nia re­bel­lion have been long since con­fined on these iso­la­tion worlds of Je­ru­sem.

53:7.1The Lu­cifer re­bel­lion was sys­tem wide. Thirty-seven se­ced­ing Plan­e­tary Princes swung their world ad­min­is­tra­tions largely to the side of the arch­re­bel. Only on Panop­tia did the Plan­e­tary Prince fail to carry his peo­ple with him. On this world, un­der the guid­ance of the Mel­chiz­e­deks, the peo­ple ral­lied to the sup­port of Mi­chael. El­lanora, a young woman of that mor­tal realm, grasped the lead­er­ship of the hu­man races, and not a sin­gle soul on that strife-torn world en­listed un­der the Lu­cifer ban­ner. And ever since have these loyal Panop­tians served on the sev­enth Je­ru­sem tran­si­tion world as the care­tak­ers and builders on the Fa­ther’s sphere and its sur­round­ing seven de­ten­tion worlds. The Panop­tians not only act as the lit­eral cus­to­di­ans of these worlds, but they also ex­e­cute the per­sonal or­ders of Mi­chael for the em­bel­lish­ment of these spheres for some fu­ture and un­known use. They do this work as they tarry en route to Eden­tia.

53:9.1Early in the days of the Lu­cifer re­bel­lion, sal­va­tion was of­fered all rebels by Mi­chael. To all who would show proof of sin­cere re­pen­tance, he of­fered, upon his at­tain­ment of com­plete uni­verse sov­er­eignty, for­give­ness and re­in­state­ment in some form of uni­verse ser­vice. None of the lead­ers ac­cepted this mer­ci­ful prof­fer. But thou­sands of the an­gels and the lower or­ders of ce­les­tial be­ings, in­clud­ing hun­dreds of the Ma­te­rial Sons and Daugh­ters, ac­cepted the mercy pro­claimed by the Panop­tians and were given re­ha­bil­i­ta­tion at the time of Je­sus’ res­ur­rec­tion nine­teen hun­dred years ago. These be­ings have since been trans­ferred to the Fa­ther’s world of Je­ru­sem, where they must be held, tech­ni­cally, un­til the Uversa courts hand down a de­ci­sion in the mat­ter of Ga­briel vs. Lu­cifer. But no one doubts that, when the an­ni­hi­la­tion ver­dict is is­sued, these re­pen­tant and sal­vaged per­son­al­i­ties will be ex­empted from the de­cree of ex­tinc­tion. These pro­ba­tion­ary souls now la­bor with the Panop­tians in the work of car­ing for the Fa­ther’s world.
