Van, one of the one hundred of the Caligastia Prince's staff, directed the supreme court of tribal co-ordination and racial cooperation, approved by the Constellation Fathers of Edentia for all matters of earthly concern. [1] Van organized 350 groups along military lines to preserve civilization and execute planetary policies faithfully. [2]
Van's entire council remained loyal in rebellion, with forty members ultimately saved and transferred to Jerusem. [3] Van indicted Daligastia, Caligastia, and Lucifer for contempt of the universe's sovereignty. [4] Van was marooned in a relay energy transmitter for over seven years before the Most Highs' decision finally sustained his appeal. [5]
Van's spiritual insight and moral steadfastness enabled him to lead a loyal army in the great battle for salvation, while the traitorous Prince marshaled rebels to execute his bidding. [6]
Van's battle for the salvation of Prince's staff showcased his unwavering loyalty, clear thinking, and spiritual insight throughout the Caligastia rebellion. [7] Van, the commander in chief of the loyal midway creatures, played a key role in the governance of Urantia under the council of planetary receivers. [8]
Van served as the titular head of all superhuman personalities on Urantia until the time of Adam, sustained by the tree of life and the Melchizedeks for over one hundred and fifty thousand years. [9] Van and Amadon fostered the natural evolution of the human race, despite setbacks like rebellion, under the Melchizedek receivers' supervision. [10]
By fifty thousand years after the collapse of the planetary administration, earthly affairs were so disorganized and retarded that the human race had gained very little over the general evolutionary status existing at the time of Caligastia’s arrival three hundred and fifty thousand years previously. [11]
Van and his associates, from their highland headquarters of world ethics and culture, had been preaching the advent of a promised Son of God, a racial uplifter, and the worthy successor of the traitorous Caligastia. [12] Van remained on Urantia for 150,000 years after the rebellion and departed 7 years after Adam's arrival. [13] Van planted the tree of life in the Garden temple, its leaves for the healing of nations and its fruit sustaining him and others on earth. [14] Van trained a new generation of Garden workers and withstood desertions, despite causing disappointment and trouble with his plan of preparedness. [15]
Van, unable to deny his role in bringing about the advent of Adam, requested intervention from the midwayers amidst the chaos of his impending adoration. [16]
1-2-3 The first, a noble midwayer of fearless leadership, supported Van and Amadon during the planetary rebellion, reducing casualties and now serves as a counselor on Jerusem. [17]
Adam and Eve were proclaimed rulers of Urantia by Van. [18]
Van protested the Garden dwellers' intent to worship Adam, but his concerns were dismissed as the Edenites deemed him too modest and unassuming, almost like a god himself. [19]
The followers of Van early withdrew to the highlands west of India, where they planned for the rehabilitation of the world, exempt from attacks by the confused races of the lowlands, just as their Badonite predecessors had unknowingly worked for mankind's welfare before the birth of the Sangik tribes. [20]
Van and Amadon were translated to Jerusem, reuniting Van with his waiting Adjuster, as he serves on behalf of Urantia, awaiting the order to embark on the trail to Paradise perfection with the assembling Corps of Mortal Finality. [21] Van now serves in behalf of Urantia on the long trail to Paradise perfection. [22]
