Our world, Urantia, is part of superuniverse number 7 in the grand universe, known as Orvonton, from which the Urantia Book revelatory commission hails. [1]
Our astronomers have identified eight of the ten major divisions of Orvonton, with the remaining two requiring a distant external view for recognition within the seventh galaxy. [2]
Uversa, capital of Orvonton, is the spiritual and administrative headquarters for approximately one trillion inhabited or inhabitable worlds, including Earth (Urantia) in Nebadon. [3] Limited sun-forming nebulae are active in Orvonton, with Andromeda being one of them, although it is located in an uninhabited region. [4] The double star explosion in Orvonton, whose intense light reached Urantia in A.D. 1572, was the most recent major cosmic eruption. [5]
Nebadon is on the periphery of Orvonton, while Urantia is well out towards the borderland of the local universe which is traversing the same periphery. [6]
Nebadon, part of the seventh superuniverse Orvonton, follows a counterclockwise path around Paradise, currently journeying on the northward trajectory towards untold cosmic horizons. [7] In Orvonton, spheres travel in a vast elongated plane that is far broader than it is thick or long. [8] Time on Orvonton is standardized, with a day equal to almost 30 Earth days and a year equal to 3000 Earth days. [9]
Uversa, the spiritual and administrative headquarters of Orvonton superuniverse, oversees one trillion inhabitable planets with unmatched grandeur and perfection. [10] Eight symmetrical star clusters have been identified within the ten major divisions of Orvonton by Urantian astronomers. [11]
Orvonton, the superuniverse, is lit and heated by over ten trillion scorching suns, some unseen from Earth, while the master universe contains as many suns as there are water glasses in the oceans of our planet. [12] 800 billion years ago, Andronover was well established as one of the magnificent primary nebulae in Orvonton. [13]
In the not-distant future, new telescopes will reveal that many island universes believed to be in outer space are actually part of the galactic system of Orvonton, as well as discovering 375 million new galaxies in outer space. [14]
The Milky Way serves as the central nucleus of Orvonton, comprising a vast aggregation of suns and other celestial bodies in a watchlike grouping within the superuniverse. [15]
Most nebulae visible to our optical telescopes are in Orvonton, but photographic techniques reveal countless more universes in various stages of formation beyond the grand universe. [16]
The starry realms visible to the naked eye on Urantia mostly belong to Orvonton, the seventh section of the grand universe, including the vast Milky Way system and countless celestial bodies. [17]
Thoughtful students predict an extraordinarily well-balanced creation in Orvonton, given the high degree of symmetry embodied by the presiding Spirit of this superuniverse. [18]
Solitary Messengers may serve as executioners or intelligence gatherers in the superuniverses, with a special delight in heroic efforts in Orvonton despite its tardy development compared to others. [19]
The unfolding evolutionary purpose of Orvonton manifests a universe of love and mercy, where justice is tempered by mercy, power is conditioned by patience, and time sacrifices to secure eternity. [20] The gradually expanding galactic system of Orvonton reveals endless physical universes in formation beyond what the unaided human eye can see. [21]
