Description
This week on The Cosmic Citizen, we began our study of Urantia Paper 20: The Paradise Sons of God. We read and discussed the first two sections of the paper, which represents one of the most sweeping panoramas of divine sonship in the universe.
The revelation begins by sorting all of the Sons of God into three categories: the Descending Sons, the Ascending Sons, and the Trinitized Sons. Our focus this time is on the Descending Sons. These are beings of divine origin who journey outward from Paradise descending into time and space to minister to creation.
Section 1. The Descending Sons of God, introduces the seven orders of descending ministers. Together, they form a vast spiritual corps dedicated to uplifting evolutionary creatures and guiding their long ascent toward Paradise. Here we glimpse the breathtaking unity of the Paradise Sons, who are creators, judges, teachers, and truth revealers. Their ministries span from the Eternal Isle to the humblest of inhabited worlds.
Section 2. The Magisterial Sons, introduces us to the Avonals. They are unique and exquisite, original beings born of the Eternal Son and the Infinite Spirit. These are the magistrates of the universes. They preside over dispensations and can incarnate on evolutionary worlds in mortal form. Their missions unfold in three ways: judicial, magisterial, and bestowal. They have tremendous impact on the spiritual destiny of the worlds they visit. Though not creators, they serve with the full authority of the Creator Son, bringing justice, mercy, and revelation to the evolving children of time.
Listen in as we explore these profound orders of divine sonship and learn who they are, how they serve, and why their ministries are essential to the spiritual evolution of every inhabited world, including our own.
