The twelve Melchizedek receivers heroically administered Urantia following the rebellion, preserving civilization and establishing advanced groups under the faithful leadership of Van. [1]
The Melchizedek receivers have been actively working on Urantia since the time of the Caligastia secession until the arrival of Jesus of Nazareth as the Planetary Prince. [2] The senior Melchizedek delivered planetary custody to Adam and Eve, making them rulers of Urantia. [3] The Melchizedek receivers departed seven years after Adam's arrival, shifting the administration of world affairs back to Adam. [4]
Melchizedek receivers encouraged loyalists to desert Caligastia, upholding truth and righteousness, preserving knowledge of the Father's rule for future generations. [5] The Melchizedeks, forbidden to interfere, offered Adam friendly co-operation in deciding his course when the Nodites marched. [6] Van relinquished titular authority over Urantia to Adam and Eve after Melchizedek receivers charged them with planetary custody. [7]
The plan for racial upstepping involved one million pure-line descendants of Adam to improve the red men of the Americas, despite limited Andite influence in Peru and North and South America being isolated until the first millennium after Christ. [8] Adam and Eve were assured of eligibility for resurrection and rehabilitation through the gospel proclaimed by the Melchizedeks. [9] Seventy days after Eve's default, Adam realized their failure when the Melchizedek receivers returned to Urantia. [10] Emergency Melchizedeks seized authority on Urantia, inaugurating a new era of planetary rehabilitation. [11]
When the proclamation was issued for Adamic volunteers, Melchizedek receivers meticulously selected Adam and Eve to uplift Urantia, after their loyal consultation with Lanaforge and the Most Highs of Edentia. [12]
Due to being thrown completely on their own resources, Machiventa Melchizedek volunteered to incarnate on earth as a temporary man of the realm for world ministry. [13] The Melchizedek receivers duly warned Adam and Eve about the dangers, but the traitorous Planetary Prince still managed to compromise them. [14]
