Caligastia is the titular Planetary Prince of Urantia until he was deposed at the time of Jesus. [1] Caligastia advocated the cause of Lucifer on Urantia. [2] He is now the deposed Planetary Prince of Urantia. He receives various names such as the devil, the evil one. [3] Abaddon was Caligastia's chief of staff. [4]
Caligastia was a secondary Lanonandek, number 9344. [5] He had been stationed on the advisory council of the Life Carriers on Jerusem. [6] Was elevated by Lucifer to a position on his personal staff. [7] He requested several times to be appointed as Planetary Prince but his requests were denied. [8] Eventually made Planetary Prince of Urantia. [9] He came 500,000 years after the appearance of the will on Urantia, time of the appearance of the colored races. [10] The commandments that he established in Dalamatia, his capital on Urantia, commanded obedience to his person. [11] Arranged for his work a corporeal staff of one hundred members.
Caligastia patiently was warned about pride and critical tendencies. [12] Caligastia was proclaimed God of Urantia by Daligastia. [13] Ideas for premature freedom failed on rebellious worlds. [14]
Caligastica had an experienced, brilliant and original mind. [15]
He was extremely individualistic; restless; he resented the supervision; he had a tendency to disagree with the established order, and to join protest parties. [16] But he fell in love with himself. [17] Deliberate sin completely distorted his personality. [18] He was invisible to humans. [19] After his rebellion he was still an elevated Son, but a local universe misleader. [20]
Caligastia contested Moses' passage to the mansion worlds, and Moses had to wait for a special millennial or dispensational resurrection. [21] His power was restricted by the incarnation of Melchizedek and completely annulled by the incarnation of Michael. [22] Jesus warned the apostles that the enemy, that is, Caligastia, would seek to separate them. [23] Never able to oppress or coerce normal individuals against his will. [24] Caligastia never had any power to enter the minds of men unless they so desired. Human free will is supreme in moral matters. [25] Opposed Adam's mission even though he lacked most of his power. [26] Now he is stripped of all power to harm his subjects. [27] He was stripped of his authority during Michael's incarnation. [28] Since Pentecost he is servile to the Adjusters and the Spirit of Truth. [29]
His iniquity consisted in bypassing the temporary regulator of progressive human liberation. [30] Perverted all planetary schools. [31] He willfully betrayed the trust reposed in him. [32] Prostituted the divine talents for his own aggrandizement. [33] Tried to preempt a slow and sure way to accomplish the divine purpose. [34]
Held many conferences with Adam. [35] But he failed to involve Adam and Eve in the rebellion. [36] Serapatatia, one of Adam's lieutenants, was not aware of having been used by Caligastia for his own ends. [37]
Emmanuel instructed Michael to rule on the claims of the rebels as Caligastia, and to do so as a mortal and not as a heavenly being. [38] Caligastia was fully visible to Jesus on Mount Hermon, along with Satan. [39] Jesus defeated Caligastia on Mount Hermon and since then Jesus is the Planetary Prince of Urantia. [40] The rebels were silenced forever thanks to Jesus' life of selfless service. [41] Judas' betrayal pleased Caligastia. [42] Someone sat in Caligastia's place at the council of Planetary Princes that took place while Jesus was in the tomb. [43] Michael's last act on Urantia was to offer mercy to Caligastia, but Caligastia refused. [44] Caligastia is still free on Urantia. [45]
