This gazetteer is a geographical dictionary listing the names of places, political divisions, and physical features of the sites on Earth, the local universe and the universe of universes.  The entries are arranged in sequence from Earth to Paradise. 

 

Planet Earth

Dalamatia

Dalamatia was the physical Earth headquarters of the Planetary Prince, Caligastia.  It was established around 500,000 BC in the area corresponding to present day Iraq. It was the world center of culture, laid out in ten subdivisions, enclosed within a wall forty feet high. After the planetary rebellion around 200,000 BC, it sank beneath the waters of the Persian Gulf.

 

Eden

Eden was the beautiful headquarters of Adam and Eve on Earth.  Established around 35,000 BC, Eden was situated on a peninsula in the eastern Mediterranean Sea.  "Without and beyond, the world lay in darkness, ignorance, and savagery. Eden was the one bright spot on Earth.  It was a garden of exquisite and perfected landscape glory.  After the default of Adam and Eve, a second garden was established to the east, between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.  The original Eden eventually sank below the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

 

Urantia

Urantia is the name of planet Earth on the universe registries. Urantia is unusual for a number of reasons. It is a decimal planet (the site of life experimentation).  Earth had an abnormal introduction of the colored (Sangik) races.  Earth was thrown into confusion and quarantined from contact with the local universe by the Lucifer Rebellion and the Caligastia defection.  The administration of Earth was further handicapped by the Adamic default.  Partially because of these handicaps, Earth was selected for the bestowal of Michael, the universe sovereign, who incarnated on Urantia as Jesus of Nazareth.

System

Satania

Satania is the administrative system of approximately 1,000 inhabitable planets to which Earth belongs; one of the 10,000 such systems in Nebadon. Jerusem is the capital sphere of the Satania.  Satania was named for Satan, the first assistant to Lucifer, who was the System Sovereign at the time of the rebellion two hundred thousand years ago.

 

Jerusem

Jerusem is the headquarters of Earth's local system of Satania.  It is the first of many capital spheres ascenders will visit during their ascent to Paradise.  Ascenders attain Jerusem after traversing the seven Mansion Worlds, which are among the satellites of Jerusem.

 

Mansion Worlds

The mansion worlds are where ascenders go after departing Earth. They consist of  seven small satellites circling the first of the seven transition worlds orbiting Jerusem, the system capital. Mortal resurrection occurs on the first mansion world, known as Mansonia Number One.

 

Constellation

Norlatiadek

Norlatiadek is the constellation to which Earth belongs. Constellations represent the 100 primary divisions of local universes and link the systems to local universe administration.

 

Edentia

Edentia is the capital of Earth's constellation of Norlatiadek.  It a beautiful architecturally constructed world that contains a potential of 100,000 inhabited planets.  The "gardens of Eden" established on the individual planets by the planetary Adams and Eves, are named after this sphere.

Local Universe

Nebadon

Nebadon is the name of Earth's local universe, one of 700,000 similar creations in the grand universe.  It is the creation and the domain of Christ Michael, who lived a life in the flesh on Earth as Jesus. Nebadon has a potential of ten million inhabited planets, grouped and administered into 100 constellations each having 100 systems of 1000 worlds each. 

 

Salvinton

Salvington is the immense capital of the local universe of Nebadon and the personal headquarters of Christ Michael. Ten clusters of architectural worlds, each containing forty-nine spheres, surround it. Ascenders visit each of these 490 satellites before attaining the presence of Michael on Salvington, from where they depart as first stage spirit beings to continue the long ascent to Paradise.

 

Super Universe Seven

Orvonton

Orvonton is the seventh of the seven super universes that, in conjunction with the Paradise/Havona system, comprise the grand universe of time and space. Orvonton is divided into 10 major sectors, each of which is divided into 100 minor sectors. Each minor sector contains 1,000 local universes.  Each local universe is comprised of 100 constellations. Each constellation is comprised of 100 local systems, each having a potential of 1,000 inhabited worlds. Earth is the 606th of the 619 currently inhabited worlds in the system of Satania.

 

Uversa

Uversa is the capital of Orvonton, the seventh super universe, and the last place ascenders visit in the ascension career before proceeding to the eternal central universe. From Uversa, the Ancients of Days authorized giving the fifth epochal revelation, The Urantia Book, to Earth.

 

Central Universe

Havona

Havona is the eternal Central Universe.  It consists of one billion worlds arranged in seven concentric circles. These billion worlds circle Paradise with its twenty-one sacred spheres.  The pilgrims of time and space will eventually visit and study in every one of these billion enormous, perfect, unique worlds, enroute to the Father on Paradise.

 

Paradise

Paradise is at the center of all creation.  It is the largest body of organized reality in the entire cosmos. Paradise is a stationary isle.  It does not occupy space. It generates all space. Paradise is eternal, without beginning or end. Paradise is the abode of the Universal Father, and the origin of the Paradise Creator Sons.  Paradise is the destination of ascending time-space creatures.

 

Universe Types

1. Local Universe: There are 700,000 local universes in the Grand Universe, each having a potential of 10,000 inhabited worlds. Earth's local universe is Nebadon, the domain of Michael, the Creator Son of Nebadon.

2. Super universe. There are seven super universes, each having 100,000 local universes.  Earth's super universe is Orvonton.  The Milky Way is the nucleus of Orvonton.
