And the Ancients of Days refuse to annihilate any being until all moral values and all spiritual realities are extinct, both in the evildoer and in all related supporters and possible sympathizers.
Quote from The URANTIA Book, 0615:05
In the discussion opening “Part 15—Creations of the Local Universe,” I first introduced you to a series of personalities, created in perfection, the lowest of whom function as observers at the level of our constellation. The Lucifer rebellion was in our system, one level lower than our constellation, and I was speculating that, for not being directly under the scrutiny of perfection, Lucifer may have felt “at liberty” to pursue his rebellion.
This series of personalities, the Supreme Trinity Personalities, were not actually “Creations of the Local Universe,” but were created in perfection by the Paradise Trinity. At the constellation level, this personality is the Faithful of Days. At the level of our local universe, this is Immanuel, the Union of Days, Michael’s elder brother: “He bears the distinction of being the only personality in all Nebadon who has never acknowledged subordination to his brother Michael” (0370:07-0371:00).
At the level of our superuniverse (100,000 local universes), in this same series of personalities, there are three Ancients of Days who are the rulers: “They represent the beginning of the personality records of the universe of universes, hence their name—Ancients of Days” (0209:06). Acting together, “they alone are invested with the high powers of final executive judgment concerning the eternal extinction of will creatures” (0210:01). Creator Sons do not judge their creations.
The seven superuniverses of time and space orbit around Havona, our central universe, which consists of one billion perfect worlds, in seven circuits, encircling Paradise. Each world is perfectly administered by their own Supreme Trinity Personality, an Eternal of Days.
Once again, this will be our sequence of seven heavens: (1) mansion worlds; (2) system headquarters; (3) constellation headquarters; (4) local universe headquarters; (5) superuniverse headquarters; (6) central universe; and (7) Paradise.
Observing the disarray and confusion on our world, it appears there is still sympathy and support for Lucifer, and if this is true, his rebellion has not been, and will not have been, fully adjudicated by the Ancients of Days. What is the status of the rebellion?
2,000 years ago, when the Spirit of Truth was encircuited for our world, Lucifer was interned on the first of seven prison worlds. Other lesser rebel personalities, including the rebel midwayers and angels, were interned at the same time.
“The administrative center of Satania [our system] consists of a cluster of architectural spheres, fifty-seven in number—Jerusem itself, the seven major satellites, and the forty-nine subsatellites” (0509:01). The prison worlds are subsatellites of the last major satellite of Jerusem—the Father’s world. But once the Ancients of Days have finally adjudicated the Lucifer rebellion, what need will there be for prison worlds? By way of reference, our resurrection with our morontia body takes place on the first of seven mansion worlds, which are subsatellites of the first major satellite of Jerusem—the Finaliter’s World. As mortal ascenders, we are destined to be finaliters on Paradise.
Satan was confined with Lucifer in 1934, at “the time of the presentation of these revelations” (0611:03). But as of the 20th of May, in 2012, no unrepentant rebels exist, including Caligastia and Daligastia—the Ancients of Days of Uversa have issued the decree of extinction.
Does this mean the rebellion is fully adjudicated? And how do I know?
