Descending orders of sonship include personalities who are of direct and divine creation. Ascending sons, such as mortal creatures, achieve this status by experiential participation in the creative technique known as evolution. Trinitized Sons are a group of composite origin which includes all beings embraced by the Paradise Trinity even though not of direct Trinity origin.
20:1.1 (223.3)
All descending Sons of God have high and divine origins. They are dedicated to the descending ministry of service on the worlds and systems of time and space, there to facilitate the progress in the Paradise climb of the lowly creatures of evolutionary origin—the ascending sons of God. Of the numerous orders of descending Sons, seven will be depicted in these narratives. Those Sons who come forth from the Deities on the central Isle of Light and Life are called the Paradise Sons of God and embrace the following three orders:
20:1.10 (223.12)
Melchizedeks are the joint offspring of a local universe Creator Son, Creative Spirit, and Father Melchizedek. Both Vorondadeks and Lanonandeks are brought into being by a Creator Son and his Creative Spirit associate. Vorondadeks are best known as the Most Highs, the Constellation Fathers; Lanonandeks as System Sovereigns and as Planetary Princes. The threefold order of Life Carriers is brought into being by a Creator Son and Creative Spirit associated with one of the three Ancients of Days of the superuniverse of jurisdiction. But the natures and activities of these Local Universe Sons of God are more properly portrayed in those papers dealing with the affairs of the local creations.
20:1.11 (224.1)
The Paradise Sons of God are of threefold origin: The primary or Creator Sons are brought into being by the Universal Father and the Eternal Son; the secondary or Magisterial Sons are children of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit; the Trinity Teacher Sons are the offspring of the Father, Son, and Spirit. From the standpoint of service, worship, and supplication the Paradise Sons are as one; their spirit is one, and their work is identical in quality and completeness.
20:1.12 (224.2)
As the Paradise orders of Days proved to be divine administrators, so have the orders of Paradise Sons revealed themselves as divine ministers—creators, servers, bestowers, judges, teachers, and truth revealers. They range the universe of universes from the shores of the eternal Isle to the inhabited worlds of time and space, performing manifold services in the central and superuniverses not disclosed in these narratives. They are variously organized, dependent on the nature and whereabouts of their service, but in a local universe both Magisterial and Teacher Sons serve under the direction of the Creator Son who presides over that domain.
창조주 아들들은 자신의 인격자 속에 중심 두는 영적 천부재능을 소유하는 것처럼 보이는데, 너희 창조주 아들이 자신의 영을 유란시아에서 모든 필사자 육신에게 부어줬을 때처럼, 이 재능을 증여할 수 있고 통제할 수 있다. 각 창조주 아들은, 자신의 고유 영역에서 이 영적 흡인력을 부여받았으며;자신의 영토에서 봉사하면서 하강하는 각 하나님의 아들의 모든 행동과 감정을 친히 의식한다. 영원 아들의 절대 영적 흡인력이 신성하게 반영되고 지방우주에 복제{複製}돼있어서, 낙원 아들들이 온갖 우주 어디에 있든지, 영원 아들은 이 절대 영적 흡인력으로 낙원 아들들 전체와 연락하고 연락을 유지하려고 접근할 수 있다.
20:1.13 (224.3)
The Creator Sons seem to possess a spiritual endowment centering in their persons, which they control and which they can bestow, as did your own Creator Son when he poured out his spirit upon all mortal flesh on Urantia. Each Creator Son is endowed with this spiritual drawing power in his own realm; he is personally conscious of every act and emotion of every descending Son of God serving in his domain. Here is a divine reflection, a local universe duplication, of that absolute spiritual drawing power of the Eternal Son which enables him to reach out to make and maintain contact with all his Paradise Sons, no matter where they may be in all the universe of universes.
20:1.14 (224.4)
The Paradise Creator Sons serve not only as Sons in their descending ministrations of service and bestowal, but when they have completed their bestowal careers, each functions as a universe Father in his own creation, while the other Sons of God continue the service of bestowal and spiritual uplifting designed to win the planets, one by one, to the willing recognition of the loving rule of the Universal Father, culminating in creature consecration to the will of the Paradise Father and in planetary loyalty to the universe sovereignty of his Creator Son.
20:1.15 (224.5)
In a sevenfold Creator Son, Creator and creature are forever blended in understanding, sympathetic, and merciful association. The entire order of Michael, the Creator Sons, is so unique that the consideration of their natures and activities will be reserved to the next paper in this series, while this narrative will be chiefly concerned with the two remaining orders of Paradise sonship: the Magisterial Sons and the Trinity Teacher Sons.
20:2.1 (224.6)
Every time an original and absolute concept of being formulated by the Eternal Son unites with a new and divine ideal of loving service conceived by the Infinite Spirit, a new and original Son of God, a Paradise Magisterial Son, is produced. These Sons constitute the order of Avonals in contradistinction to the order of Michael, the Creator Sons. Though not creators in the personal sense, they are closely associated with the Michaels in all their work. The Avonals are planetary ministers and judges, the magistrates of the time-space realms—of all races, to all worlds, and in all universes.
20:2.2 (225.1)
We have reasons for believing that the total number of Magisterial Sons in the grand universe is about one billion. They are a self-governing order, being directed by their supreme council on Paradise, which is made up of experienced Avonals drawn from the services of all universes. But when assigned to, and commissioned in, a local universe, they serve under the direction of the Creator Son of that domain.
20:2.3 (225.2)
Avonals are the Paradise Sons of service and bestowal to the individual planets of the local universes. And since each Avonal Son has an exclusive personality, since no two are alike, their work is individually unique in the realms of their sojourn, where they are often incarnated in the likeness of mortal flesh and sometimes are born of earthly mothers on the evolutionary worlds.
20:2.5 (225.4)
1. Judicial Actions. They act at the close of the planetary dispensations. In time, scores—hundreds—of such missions may be executed on each individual world, and they may go to the same or to other worlds times without number as dispensation terminators, liberators of the sleeping survivors.
20:2.6 (225.5)
2. Magisterial Missions. A planetary visitation of this type usually occurs prior to the arrival of a bestowal Son. On such a mission an Avonal appears as an adult of the realm by a technique of incarnation not involving mortal birth. Subsequent to this first and usual magisterial visit, Avonals may repeatedly serve in a magisterial capacity on the same planet both before and after the appearance of the bestowal Son. On these additional magisterial missions an Avonal may or may not appear in material and visible form, but on none of them will he be born into the world as a helpless babe.
20:2.7 (225.6)
3. Bestowal Missions. The Avonal Sons do all, at least once, bestow themselves upon some mortal race on some evolutionary world. Judicial visits are numerous, magisterial missions may be plural, but on each planet there appears but one bestowal Son. Bestowal Avonals are born of woman as Michael of Nebadon was incarnated on Urantia.
20:2.8 (225.7)
There is no limit to the number of times the Avonal Sons may serve on magisterial and on bestowal missions, but usually, when the experience has been seven times traversed, there is suspension in favor of those who have had less of such service. These Sons of multiple bestowal experience are then assigned to the high personal council of a Creator Son, thus becoming participants in the administration of universe affairs.
집정관 아들은, 인간거주 세계를 위해 거기서 담당하는 모든 업무에서, 지방우주 피조물 가운데 두 계층 곧 멜기세덱과 천사장의 도움을 받으며, 한편 증여 사명의 경우에는, 마찬가지로 그 지방 창조계에서 기원된 찬란한 저녁별들과 동행한다. 2차 낙원 아들 곧 아보날은 행성에서 수고하는 모든 경우에, 자신이 이바지하는 지방우주의 창조주 아들인 1차 낙원 아들의 충분한 권능과 권세로 후원을 받는다. 모든 의도와 목적을 고려할 때 인간거주 구체에서 그들의 업무는, 필사자가 거주하는 그런 세계에서 창조주 아들이 베푸는 봉사와 마찬가지로, 효과적이고 만족스럽다.
20:2.9 (225.8)
In all their work for and on the inhabited worlds, the Magisterial Sons are assisted by two orders of local universe creatures, the Melchizedeks and the archangels, while on bestowal missions they are also accompanied by the Brilliant Evening Stars, likewise of origin in the local creations. In every planetary effort the secondary Paradise Sons, the Avonals, are supported by the full power and authority of a primary Paradise Son, the Creator Son of their local universe of service. To all intents and purposes their work on the inhabited spheres is just as effective and acceptable as would have been the service of a Creator Son upon such worlds of mortal habitation.
20:3.1 (226.1)
The Avonals are known as Magisterial Sons because they are the high magistrates of the realms, the adjudicators of the successive dispensations of the worlds of time. They preside over the awakening of the sleeping survivors, sit in judgment on the realm, bring to an end a dispensation of suspended justice, execute the mandates of an age of probationary mercy, reassign the space creatures of planetary ministry to the tasks of the new dispensation, and return to the headquarters of their local universe upon the completion of their mission.
20:3.2 (226.2)
When they sit in judgment on the destinies of an age, the Avonals decree the fate of the evolutionary races, but though they may render judgments extinguishing the identity of personal creatures, they do not execute such sentences. Verdicts of this nature are executed by none but the authorities of a superuniverse.
한 섭리시대를 종결시키기 위한 목적과, 새로운 행성 진행과정 시절을 열기 위한 목적으로 낙원 아보날이 진화 세계에 도착하는 것이, 반드시 집정관 사명 또는 증여 사명일 필요는 없다. 집정관 사명이 때로는, 그리고 증여 사명은 언제나, 육신화에 해당하며;다시 말해서, 아보날은 그런 임무의 경우에 --글자 그대로-- 물질 형태를 입고 행성에서 근무한다. 그들의 기타 방문은 “인위적”인 경우이며, 이런 수용력에서는 아보날이 행성에서 봉사하려고 육신화하지 않는다. 집정관 아들이 오직 섭리시대 재판관으로서 온다면 영적 존재로서 행성에 도착할 것인데, 그 영역에서 물질 피조물의 눈에는 보이지 않는다. 그런 인위적 방문은, 인간거주 세계의 긴 역사에서 반복하여 발생한다.
20:3.3 (226.3)
The arrival of a Paradise Avonal on an evolutionary world for the purpose of terminating a dispensation and of inaugurating a new era of planetary progression is not necessarily either a magisterial mission or a bestowal mission. Magisterial missions sometimes, and bestowal missions always, are incarnations; that is, on such assignments the Avonals serve on a planet in material form—literally. Their other visits are “technical,” and in this capacity an Avonal is not incarnated for planetary service. If a Magisterial Son comes solely as a dispensational adjudicator, he arrives on a planet as a spiritual being, invisible to the material creatures of the realm. Such technical visits occur repeatedly in the long history of an inhabited world.
20:3.4 (226.4)
Avonal Sons may act as planetary judges prior to both the magisterial and bestowal experiences. On either of these missions, however, the incarnated Son will judge the passing planetary age; likewise does a Creator Son when incarnated on a mission of bestowal in the likeness of mortal flesh. When a Paradise Son visits an evolutionary world and becomes like one of its people, his presence terminates a dispensation and constitutes a judgment of the realm.
20:4.1 (226.5)
Prior to the planetary appearance of a bestowal Son, an inhabited world is usually visited by a Paradise Avonal on a magisterial mission. If it is an initial magisterial visitation, the Avonal is always incarnated as a material being. He appears on the planet of assignment as a full-fledged male of the mortal races, a being fully visible to, and in physical contact with, the mortal creatures of his day and generation. Throughout a magisterial incarnation the connection of the Avonal Son with the local and the universal spiritual forces is complete and unbroken.
20:4.2 (226.6)
A planet may experience many magisterial visitations both before and after the appearance of a bestowal Son. It may be visited many times by the same or other Avonals, acting as dispensational adjudicators, but such technical missions of judgment are neither bestowal nor magisterial, and the Avonals are never incarnated at such times. Even when a planet is blessed with repeated magisterial missions, the Avonals do not always submit to mortal incarnation; and when they do serve in the likeness of mortal flesh, they always appear as adult beings of the realm; they are not born of woman.
증여 사명이나 집정관 사명에 따라서 육신화됐을 때, 낙원 아들은 섭리사를 체험했으며, 이 섭리사는 각 육신화마다 다르다. 증여된 하나님의 아들의 정신을 점유하는 섭리사는 결코, 자신이 내주하는 인간적이면서-신성한 존재와 융합하여 인격체가 되기를 희망할 수 없지만, 우주 아버지의 명령에 따라서 종종 인격화된다. 그런 섭리사들은, 인간거주 영역으로 갈 신비 관찰자를 관리하고 신원확인하고 파견하도록 지시하는 최고 디비닝톤 협의회를 구성한다. 또한 이들은, 죽음으로 인해 이 세상 장막{帳幕}이 해체되어 “아버지의 품”으로 돌아오는 섭리사들을 받아들이고 인정한다. 이런 방식으로, 세상 재판관의 신실한 섭리사는 그들 부류에서 최고책임자로 승진된다.
20:4.3 (227.1)
When incarnated on either bestowal or magisterial missions, the Paradise Sons have experienced Adjusters, and these Adjusters are different for each incarnation. The Adjusters that occupy the minds of the incarnated Sons of God can never hope for personality through fusion with the human-divine beings of their indwelling, but they are often personalized by fiat of the Universal Father. Such Adjusters form the supreme Divinington council of direction for the administration, identification, and dispatch of Mystery Monitors to the inhabited realms. They also receive and accredit Adjusters on their return to the “bosom of the Father” upon the mortal dissolution of their earthly tabernacles. In this way the faithful Adjusters of the world judges become the exalted chiefs of their kind.
20:4.4 (227.2)
Urantia has never been host to an Avonal Son on a magisterial mission. Had Urantia followed the general plan of inhabited worlds, it would have been blessed with a magisterial mission sometime between the days of Adam and the bestowal of Christ Michael. But the regular sequence of Paradise Sons on your planet was wholly deranged by the appearance of your Creator Son on his terminal bestowal nineteen hundred years ago.
집정관 사명을 띠고 육신화하도록 위임받은 아보날이 여전히 유란시아에 방문할 수 있으나, 낙원 아들들의 장래 출현을 고려할 때, “하늘에 있는 천사들도 그런 방문의 시기 또는 방법을 알지 못하는데”, 미가엘이-증여된 세계는 으뜸 아들이 개인적으로 직접 감독하게 되기 때문이며, 그런 경우에는 그의 고유한 계획과 통치에 전적으로 종속된다. 그리고 너희 세계의 경우에, 이것은 미가엘이 돌아온다는 약속으로 더욱 복잡해졌다. 네바돈의 미가엘이 유란시아에 머물렀던 것과 관련된 오해와는 상관없이, 한 가지는--곧 너희 세계에 돌아오겠다는 그의 약속은-- 분명히 믿을 만하다. 이런 예상으로 볼 때, 하나님의 낙원 아들들이 유란시아에 방문하는 장래 순서는, 시간이 지나야 드러날 것이다.
20:4.5 (227.3)
Urantia may yet be visited by an Avonal commissioned to incarnate on a magisterial mission, but regarding the future appearance of Paradise Sons, not even “the angels in heaven know the time or manner of such visitations,” for a Michael-bestowal world becomes the individual and personal ward of a Master Son and, as such, is wholly subject to his own plans and rulings. And with your world, this is further complicated by Michael’s promise to return. Regardless of the misunderstandings about the Urantian sojourn of Michael of Nebadon, one thing is certainly authentic—his promise to come back to your world. In view of this prospect, only time can reveal the future order of the visitations of the Paradise Sons of God on Urantia.
20:5.1 (227.4)
The Eternal Son is the eternal Word of God. The Eternal Son is the perfect expression of the “first” absolute and infinite thought of his eternal Father. When a personal duplication or divine extension of this Original Son starts on a bestowal mission of mortal incarnation, it becomes literally true that the divine “Word is made flesh,” and that the Word thus dwells among the lowly beings of animal origin.
아들이 자신을 증여하기로 결단한 것이 우주 아버지의 입장에 어떤 식으로 영향을 줬다는 믿음이 유란시아에 널리 퍼져있다. 그러나 너희는 이것이 사실이 아님을 깨달아야한다. 아보날과 미가엘 아들의 증여는, 이 아들들을 시공간의 민족과 행성들에게 안전하고 동정적{同情的}인 집정관 및 통치자로 만들려고 고안한 체험 과정에 필연적인 부분이다. 일곱 번 증여한 경력은 모든 낙원 창조주 아들의 최고 목표다. 그리고 모든 집정관 아들은, 1차 창조주 아들들 및 낙원의 영원 아들의 특징을 아주 많이 나타내는, 바로 이 봉사 정신 때문에 마음이 움직인다.
20:5.2 (227.5)
On Urantia there is a widespread belief that the purpose of a Son’s bestowal is, in some manner, to influence the attitude of the Universal Father. But your enlightenment should indicate that this is not true. The bestowals of the Avonal and the Michael Sons are a necessary part of the experiential process designed to make these Sons safe and sympathetic magistrates and rulers of the peoples and planets of time and space. The career of sevenfold bestowal is the supreme goal of all Paradise Creator Sons. And all Magisterial Sons are motivated by this same spirit of service which so abundantly characterizes the primary Creator Sons and the Eternal Son of Paradise.
20:5.3 (227.6)
Some order of Paradise Son must be bestowed upon each mortal-inhabited world in order to make it possible for Thought Adjusters to indwell the minds of all normal human beings on that sphere, for the Adjusters do not come to all bona fide human beings until the Spirit of Truth has been poured out upon all flesh; and the sending of the Spirit of Truth is dependent upon the return to universe headquarters of a Paradise Son who has successfully executed a mission of mortal bestowal upon an evolving world.
20:5.4 (228.1)
During the course of the long history of an inhabited planet, many dispensational adjudications will take place, and more than one magisterial mission may occur, but ordinarily only once will a bestowal Son serve on the sphere. It is only required that each inhabited world have one bestowal Son come to live the full mortal life from birth to death. Sooner or later, regardless of spiritual status, every mortal-inhabited world is destined to become host to a Magisterial Son on a bestowal mission except the one planet in each local universe whereon a Creator Son elects to make his mortal bestowal.
20:5.5 (228.2)
Understanding more about the bestowal Sons, you discern why so much interest attaches to Urantia in the history of Nebadon. Your small and insignificant planet is of local universe concern simply because it is the mortal home world of Jesus of Nazareth. It was the scene of the final and triumphant bestowal of your Creator Son, the arena in which Michael won the supreme personal sovereignty of the universe of Nebadon.
창조주 아들은, 자신의 지방우주 본부에서, 특히 자신의 필사자 증여를 완성한 후에, 동역자 아들들 곧 집정관 아들 및 다른 자들이 소속된 학부{學部}에서 조언하고 지시하는 데 많은 시간을 보낸다. 이 집정관 아들들은, 사랑하고 헌신하면서, 섬세한 자비와 애정 어린 자상함으로 공간 세계들에 자신을 증여한다. 그리고 이 행성 봉사는, 어떤 면에서도 미가엘의 필사자 증여보다 열등하지 않다. 너희의 창조주 아들이 피조물로서 체험하는 최종 모험의 영역으로, 유별나게 불운을 여러 번 겪어왔던 곳을 선택한 것이 사실이다. 그러나 어떤 행성도, 자체의 영적 부흥을 위해 창조주 아들의 증여를 필요로 할 만큼 불행한 조건 속에 계속 있을 수는 없다. 증여 집단에 속한 어떤 아들이 증여되든지 똑같이 충분할 것인데, 집정관 아들은 지방우주에 속한 세계에서 어떤 업무에 임하든지, 마치 그의 낙원 형제인 창조주 아들이 왔더라도 똑같을 만큼, 신성하게 효과적이고 최고로 지혜롭기 때문이다.
20:5.6 (228.3)
At the headquarters of his local universe a Creator Son, especially after the completion of his own mortal bestowal, spends much of his time in counseling and instructing the college of associate Sons, the Magisterial Sons and others. In love and devotion, with tender mercy and affectionate consideration, these Magisterial Sons bestow themselves upon the worlds of space. And in no way are these planetary services inferior to the mortal bestowals of the Michaels. It is true that your Creator Son selected for the realm of his final adventure in creature experience one which had had unusual misfortunes. But no planet could ever be in such a condition that it would require the bestowal of a Creator Son to effect its spiritual rehabilitation. Any Son of the bestowal group would have equally sufficed, for in all their work on the worlds of a local universe the Magisterial Sons are just as divinely effective and all wise as would have been their Paradise brother, the Creator Son.
증여를 위하여 육신화된 기간에, 재난이 일어날 가능성이 이 낙원 아들들을 계속 따라다니더라도, 증여 사명을 띠고 있는 어떤 집정관 아들 또는 창조주 아들이든지 실패했다거나 태만했다는 기록을, 나는 아직 본 적이 없다. 둘 다 절대 완벽성에 너무나 가깝게 기원됐기 때문에, 실패할 수 없다. 그들은 정말로 위험을 무릅쓰지만, 즉 살과 피를 지닌 필사 피조물과 정말로 비슷하게 되지만, 내가 관찰한 범위에서는 항상 성공했다. 그들은 증여 사명의 목적을 성취하기에 결코 실패하지 않는다. 네바돈 전역에서, 그들의 증여와 행성 봉사에 관한 이야기는, 너희 지방우주 역사에서 가장 고귀하고 매혹적인 부분을 구성한다.
20:5.7 (228.4)
Though the possibility of disaster always attends these Paradise Sons during their bestowal incarnations, I have yet to see the record of the failure or default of either a Magisterial or a Creator Son on a mission of bestowal. Both are of origin too close to absolute perfection to fail. They indeed assume the risk, really become like the mortal creatures of flesh and blood and thereby gain the unique creature experience, but within the range of my observation they always succeed. They never fail to achieve the goal of the bestowal mission. The story of their bestowal and planetary service throughout Nebadon constitutes the most noble and fascinating chapter in the history of your local universe.
낙원 아들이 증여 아들로서 필사자로 육신화하기 위하여 준비되고, 그 증여 행성에서 어머니에게 잉태되는 방법은 우주 신비이며;이 소나링톤 기법의 활동을 감지하려고 아무리 애써도 확실히 실패할 것이다. 나사렛 예수의 필사자 생애에 대한 숭고한 지식이 너희의 혼에 스며들게 하라, 그러나 네바돈의 미가엘의 이 신비로운 육신화가 어떻게 발생됐는지 쓸데없이 추측하려고 헛된 생각을 하지는 말라. 신성한 본성을 지닌 존재에게는 그런 업적이 가능하다는 것을 알고 확신함으로 우리 모두 기뻐하면서, 그런 현상을 가져온 신의 지혜가 어떤 기법을 채택했는지 쓸데없이 추측하는 데에는 시간을 소모하지 말자.
20:6.1 (228.5)
The method whereby a Paradise Son becomes ready for mortal incarnation as a bestowal Son, becomes enmothered on the bestowal planet, is a universal mystery; and any effort to detect the working of this Sonarington technique is doomed to meet with certain failure. Let the sublime knowledge of the mortal life of Jesus of Nazareth sink into your souls, but waste no thought in useless speculation as to how this mysterious incarnation of Michael of Nebadon was effected. Let us all rejoice in the knowledge and assurance that such achievements are possible to the divine nature and waste no time on futile conjectures about the technique employed by divine wisdom to effect such phenomena.
필사자로서-증여하는 사명에 임하는 낙원 아들은, 예수가 유란시아에서 그랬던 것처럼, 반드시 여자에게서 태어나고, 그 영역의 남자아이로서 자란다. 최상의 봉사에 임하는 이 아들들은 모두, 인간이 이루는 것과 똑같이 유아기로부터 청년기를 거쳐서 어른이 돼간다. 모든 면에서 그들은 자신이 소속되어 태어난 필사 인종을 닮게 된다. 그들은 자신이 이바지하는 그 영역의 자녀들이 하는 것과 똑같이, 아버지께 간구한다. 물질 관점에서, 이 인간적이고-신성한 아들들은 한 가지 예외만 갖고 평범한 삶을 사는데:자신이 머무는 세계에서 자손을 낳지 않으며;이것은 모든 계층의 낙원 증여 아들들에게 부과된 보편적 금지사항이다.
20:6.2 (229.1)
On a mortal-bestowal mission a Paradise Son is always born of woman and grows up as a male child of the realm, as Jesus did on Urantia. These Sons of supreme service all pass from infancy through youth to manhood just as does a human being. In every respect they become like the mortals of the race into which they are born. They make petitions to the Father as do the children of the realms in which they serve. From a material viewpoint, these human-divine Sons live ordinary lives with just one exception: They do not beget offspring on the worlds of their sojourn; that is a universal restriction imposed on all orders of the Paradise bestowal Sons.
20:6.3 (229.2)
As Jesus worked on your world as the carpenter’s son, so do other Paradise Sons labor in various capacities on their bestowal planets. You could hardly think of a vocation that has not been followed by some Paradise Son in the course of his bestowal on some one of the evolutionary planets of time.
20:6.4 (229.3)
When a bestowal Son has mastered the experience of living the mortal life, when he has achieved perfection of attunement with his indwelling Adjuster, thereupon he begins that part of his planetary mission designed to illuminate the minds and to inspire the souls of his brethren in the flesh. As teachers, these Sons are exclusively devoted to the spiritual enlightenment of the mortal races on the worlds of their sojourn.
20:6.5 (229.4)
The mortal-bestowal careers of the Michaels and the Avonals, while comparable in most respects, are not identical in all: Never does a Magisterial Son proclaim, “Whosoever has seen the Son has seen the Father,” as did your Creator Son when on Urantia and in the flesh. But a bestowed Avonal does declare, “Whosoever has seen me has seen the Eternal Son of God.” The Magisterial Sons are not of immediate descent from the Universal Father, nor do they incarnate subject to the Father’s will; always do they bestow themselves as Paradise Sons subject to the will of the Eternal Son of Paradise.
증여 아들 곧 창조주 또는 집정관은, 죽음의 문턱에 도달했을 때 제3일에 다시 나타난다. 그러나 너희는, 창조주 아들이 1,900년 전에 너희 세계에 머물면서 당했던 그런 비극적 죽음을 그들도 항상 맞이한다는 관념을 품어서는 안 된다. 나사렛 예수가 당했던 색다르고 유별나게 잔인한 체험 때문에, 유란시아는 지방우주에 “십자가의 세계”로 알려지게 됐다. 하나님의 아들을 그렇게 비인간적으로 취급할 필요는 없으며, 거의 대부분의 행성은 더 자상하게 그들을 영접해왔는데, 그들은 폭력적 죽음을 맞이하는 일 없이 필사자 생애를 끝내고, 그 시대를 종결시키고, 잠자는 생존자들을 판결하고, 새 섭리시대가 시작되게 한다. 증여 아들은 반드시 죽음을 맛봐야하고, 그 영역의 필사자들의 실제 체험 전체를 겪어야하지만, 신의 계획은 그 죽음이 폭력적이거나 비정상적이어야한다고 요구하지 않는다.
20:6.6 (229.5)
When the bestowal Sons, Creator or Magisterial, enter the portals of death, they reappear on the third day. But you should not entertain the idea that they always meet with the tragic end encountered by the Creator Son who sojourned on your world nineteen hundred years ago. The extraordinary and unusually cruel experience through which Jesus of Nazareth passed has caused Urantia to become locally known as “the world of the cross.” It is not necessary that such inhuman treatment be accorded a Son of God, and the vast majority of planets have afforded them a more considerate reception, allowing them to finish their mortal careers, terminate the age, adjudicate the sleeping survivors, and inaugurate a new dispensation, without imposing a violent death. A bestowal Son must encounter death, must pass through the whole of the actual experience of mortals of the realms, but it is not a requirement of the divine plan that this death be either violent or unusual.
20:6.7 (229.6)
When bestowal Sons are not put to death by violence, they voluntarily relinquish their lives and pass through the portals of death, not to satisfy the demands of “stern justice” or “divine wrath,” but rather to complete the bestowal, “to drink the cup” of the career of incarnation and personal experience in all that constitutes a creature’s life as it is lived on the planets of mortal existence. Bestowal is a planetary and a universe necessity, and physical death is nothing more than a necessary part of a bestowal mission.
20:6.8 (230.1)
When the mortal incarnation is finished, the Avonal of service proceeds to Paradise, is accepted by the Universal Father, returns to the local universe of assignment, and is acknowledged by the Creator Son. Thereupon the bestowal Avonal and the Creator Son send their conjoint Spirit of Truth to function in the hearts of the mortal races dwelling on the bestowal world. In the presovereignty ages of a local universe, this is the joint spirit of both Sons, implemented by the Creative Spirit. It differs somewhat from the Spirit of Truth which characterizes the local universe ages following a Michael’s seventh bestowal.
20:6.9 (230.2)
Upon the completion of a Creator Son’s final bestowal the Spirit of Truth previously sent into all Avonal-bestowal worlds of that local universe changes in nature, becoming more literally the spirit of the sovereign Michael. This phenomenon takes place concurrently with the liberation of the Spirit of Truth for service on the Michael-mortal-bestowal planet. Thereafter, each world honored by a Magisterial bestowal will receive the same spirit Comforter from the sevenfold Creator Son, in association with that Magisterial Son, which it would have received had the local universe Sovereign personally incarnated as its bestowal Son.
20:7.1 (230.3)
These highly personal and highly spiritual Paradise Sons are brought into being by the Paradise Trinity. They are known in Havona as the order of Daynals. In Orvonton they are of record as Trinity Teacher Sons, so named because of their parentage. On Salvington they are sometimes denominated the Paradise Spiritual Sons.
20:7.2 (230.4)
In numbers the Teacher Sons are constantly increasing. The last universal census broadcast gave the number of these Trinity Sons functioning in the central and superuniverses as a little more than twenty-one billion, and this is exclusive of the Paradise reserves, which include more than one third of all Trinity Teacher Sons in existence.
20:7.3 (230.5)
The Daynal order of sonship is not an organic part of the local or superuniverse administrations. Its members are neither creators nor retrievers, neither judges nor rulers. They are not so much concerned with universe administration as with moral enlightenment and spiritual development. They are the universal educators, being dedicated to the spiritual awakening and moral guidance of all realms. Their ministry is intimately interrelated with that of the personalities of the Infinite Spirit and is closely associated with the Paradise ascension of creature beings.
20:7.4 (230.6)
These Sons of the Trinity partake of the combined natures of the three Paradise Deities, but in Havona they seem more to reflect the nature of the Universal Father. In the superuniverses they seem to portray the nature of the Eternal Son, while in the local creations they appear to show forth the character of the Infinite Spirit. In all universes they are the embodiment of service and the discretion of wisdom.
20:7.5 (230.7)
Unlike their Paradise brethren, Michaels and Avonals, Trinity Teacher Sons receive no preliminary training in the central universe. They are dispatched directly to the headquarters of the superuniverses and from there are commissioned for service in some local universe. In their ministry to these evolutionary realms they utilize the combined spiritual influence of a Creator Son and the associated Magisterial Sons, for the Daynals do not possess a spiritual drawing power in and of themselves.
20:8.1 (231.1)
The Paradise Spiritual Sons are unique Trinity-origin beings and the only Trinity creatures to be so completely associated with the conduct of the dual-origin universes. They are affectionately devoted to the educational ministry to mortal creatures and the lower orders of spiritual beings. They begin their labors in the local systems and, in accordance with experience and achievement, are advanced inward through the constellation service to the highest work of the local creation. Upon certification they may become spiritual ambassadors representing the local universes of their service.
나는 네바돈에 있는 교사 아들의 정확한 수를 알지 못하는데;수천 명 있다. 멜기세덱 학교에 있는 부서들의 우두머리 가운데 다수가 이 계층에 속하는 한편, 규칙적으로 구성되는 살빙톤 대학의 혼합된 참모진에는, 이 아들들을 포함하여 10만 이상이 있다. 다양한 모론시아-훈련 세계에 큰 무리가 머물고 있으나, 그들은 필사 피조물의 영적 증진과 지적 증진에 전적으로 몰두하지는 않으며;지방 창조계의 스랍 존재 및 다른 원주민에 대한 훈육에도 똑같이 관여한다. 그들의 보좌관 중에서 다수는, 피조물에서-삼위일체화된 존재들의 직급으로부터 모집됐다.
20:8.2 (231.2)
The exact number of Teacher Sons in Nebadon I do not know; there are many thousands of them. Many of the heads of departments in the Melchizedek schools belong to this order, while the combined staff of the regularly constituted University of Salvington embraces over one hundred thousand including these Sons. Large numbers are stationed on the various morontia-training worlds, but they are not wholly occupied with the spiritual and intellectual advancement of mortal creatures; they are equally concerned with the instruction of seraphic beings and other natives of the local creations. Many of their assistants are drawn from the ranks of the creature-trinitized beings.
20:8.3 (231.3)
The Teacher Sons compose the faculties who administer all examinations and conduct all tests for the qualification and certification of all subordinate phases of universe service, from the duties of outpost sentinels to those of star students. They conduct an agelong course of training, ranging from the planetary courses up to the high College of Wisdom located on Salvington. Recognition indicative of effort and attainment is granted to all, ascending mortal or ambitious cherubim, who complete these adventures in wisdom and truth.
20:8.4 (231.4)
In all universes all the Sons of God are beholden to these ever-faithful and universally efficient Trinity Teacher Sons. They are the exalted teachers of all spirit personalities, even the tried and true teachers of the Sons of God themselves. But of the endless details of the duties and functions of the Teacher Sons I can hardly instruct you. The vast domain of Daynal-sonship activities will be better understood on Urantia when you are more advanced in intelligence, and after the spiritual isolation of your planet has been terminated.
20:9.1 (231.5)
When the progress of events on an evolutionary world indicates that the time is ripe to initiate a spiritual age, the Trinity Teacher Sons always volunteer for this service. You are not familiar with this order of sonship because Urantia has never experienced a spiritual age, a millennium of cosmic enlightenment. But the Teacher Sons even now visit your world for the purpose of formulating plans concerning their projected sojourn on your sphere. They will be due to appear on Urantia after its inhabitants have gained comparative deliverance from the shackles of animalism and from the fetters of materialism.
20:9.2 (231.6)
Trinity Teacher Sons have nothing to do with terminating planetary dispensations. They neither judge the dead nor translate the living, but on each planetary mission they are accompanied by a Magisterial Son who performs these services. Teacher Sons are wholly concerned with the initiation of a spiritual age, with the dawn of the era of spiritual realities on an evolutionary planet. They make real the spiritual counterparts of material knowledge and temporal wisdom.
20:9.3 (232.1)
The Teacher Sons usually remain on their visitation planets for one thousand years of planetary time. One Teacher Son presides over the planetary millennial reign and is assisted by seventy associates of his order. The Daynals do not incarnate or otherwise so materialize themselves as to be visible to mortal beings; therefore is contact with the world of visitation maintained through the activities of the Brilliant Evening Stars, local universe personalities who are associated with the Trinity Teacher Sons.
20:9.4 (232.2)
The Daynals may return many times to an inhabited world, and following their final mission the planet will be ushered into the settled status of a sphere of light and life, the evolutionary goal of all the mortal-inhabited worlds of the present universe age. The Mortal Corps of the Finality has much to do with the spheres settled in light and life, and their planetary activities touch upon those of the Teacher Sons. Indeed, the whole order of Daynal sonship is intimately connected with all phases of finaliter activities in the evolutionary creations of time and space.
삼위일체 교사 아들들은, 진화로 상승하는 초기 단계들을 통해서 필사자 진행과정 체제와 아주 철저하게 일체감을 갖게 될 것처럼 보이기 때문에, 드러나지 않은 미래 우주 활동 중에 그들이 완결성취자들과 연합할 수도 있다고, 우리는 종종 추측하게 된다. 연방우주 경영자들이, 더러는 삼위일체에서-기원된 인격체이고, 더러는 삼위일체에-포함된 상승한 진화 피조물임을 우리는 눈여겨본다. 삼위일체 아들들과 완결성취자들이 시간과-관계된 체험을 지금 획득하고 있다고 우리는 굳게 믿는데, 이 체험은 어떤 계시되지 않은 미래 운명 속에서 긴밀하게 연합하도록 그들을 준비시키는 예비 훈련이 될지도 모른다. 우버사에서 우리는, 연방우주들이 최종적으로 빛과 생명에 정착할 때, 진화 필사자들의 생애와 그토록 오래 관련돼왔고, 진화 세계들의 문제에 아주 철저하게 정통해왔던 이 낙원 교사 아들들이, 아마 낙원 완결성취 단체와 영원히 연합할 수 있도록 전환될 것이라고 믿는다.
20:9.5 (232.3)
The Trinity Teacher Sons seem to be so completely identified with the regime of mortal progression through the earlier stages of evolutionary ascension that we are often led to speculate regarding their possible association with the finaliters in the undisclosed career of the future universes. We observe that the administrators of the superuniverses are part Trinity-origin personalities and part Trinity-embraced ascendant evolutionary creatures. We firmly believe that the Teacher Sons and the finaliters are now engaged in acquiring the experience of time-association which may be the preliminary training to prepare them for close association in some unrevealed future destiny. On Uversa it is our belief that, when the superuniverses are finally settled in light and life, these Paradise Teacher Sons, who have become so thoroughly familiar with the problems of evolutionary worlds and have been so long associated with the career of evolutionary mortals, will probably be transferred to eternal association with the Paradise Corps of the Finality.
20:10.2 (232.5)
The Paradise Sons are the divine presentation of the acting natures of the three persons of Deity to the domains of time and space. The Creator, Magisterial, and Teacher Sons are the gifts of the eternal Deities to the children of men and to all other universe creatures of ascension potential. These Sons of God are the divine ministers who are unceasingly devoted to the work of helping the creatures of time attain the high spiritual goal of eternity.
20:10.3 (232.6)
In the Creator Sons the love of the Universal Father is blended with the mercy of the Eternal Son and is disclosed to the local universes in the creative power, loving ministry, and understanding sovereignty of the Michaels. In the Magisterial Sons the mercy of the Eternal Son, united with the ministry of the Infinite Spirit, is revealed to the evolutionary domains in the careers of these Avonals of judgment, service, and bestowal. In the Trinity Teacher Sons the love, mercy, and ministry of the three Paradise Deities are co-ordinated on the highest time-space value-levels and are presented to the universes as living truth, divine goodness, and true spiritual beauty.
지방우주들에서 아들신분의 이 계층들은, 공간 피조물에게 낙원 신격들에 대해 계시하는 것을 완수하려고 협력하는데:한 지방우주의 아버지로서, 창조주 아들은 우주 아버지의 무한한 성품을 묘사한다. 자비로운 증여 아들로서, 아보날들은 무한한 동정심을 지닌 영원 아들의 비길 데 없는 본성을 계시한다. 상승하는 인격체들의 참 선생으로서, 삼위일체 데이날 아들들은 무한 영의 선생 인격을 드러낸다. 신성하게 완전한 협동 속에서, 미가엘과 아보날과 데이날들은, 시간-공간 우주들에서 그리고 그 우주들에 대한, 지존자 하나님의 인격과 주권을 실제화하고 계시하는 데 기여하고 있다. 하나님의 이 낙원 아들들은 삼자일체 활동으로 조화를 이루면서, 영속하는 낙원 섬으로부터 미지의 공간 심연{深淵} 속으로 끝없이 확장하는 위대한 제1 근원 및 중심의 신성을 따라 신격의 인격체들의 선구자로서 언제든지 활약한다.
20:10.4 (233.1)
In the local universes these orders of sonship collaborate to effect the revelation of the Deities of Paradise to the creatures of space: As the Father of a local universe, a Creator Son portrays the infinite character of the Universal Father. As the bestowal Sons of mercy, the Avonals reveal the matchless nature of the Eternal Son of infinite compassion. As the true teachers of ascending personalities, the Trinity Daynal Sons disclose the teacher personality of the Infinite Spirit. In their divinely perfect co-operation, Michaels, Avonals, and Daynals are contributing to the actualization and revelation of the personality and sovereignty of God the Supreme in and to the time-space universes. In the harmony of their triune activities these Paradise Sons of God ever function in the vanguard of the personalities of Deity as they follow the never-ending expansion of the divinity of the First Great Source and Center from the everlasting Isle of Paradise into the unknown depths of space.
