Magisterial+Missions

Urantia Book [|Paper 20]:[|4. MAGISTERIAL MISSIONS]
20:4.1 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 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].

20:4.3 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"[|[2]] 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 [|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].

20:4.5 [|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,"[|[3]][|[4]] 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].
