The Eternal Son is the Second Person of the Paradise Trinity, the perfect, absolute, and eternal expression of the Universal Father’s spiritual nature. As the Father’s original and only-begotten divine Son, He embodies the fullness of spirit reality, divine personality, and infinite love.

Where the Father is the First Source and Center, the Eternal Son is the Second Source and Center, the absolute spiritual counterpart of the Father and the co-creator of all personal spiritual beings throughout the universe of universes.

The Eternal Son is:

• The absolute personification of spirit

• The source of divine mercy and spiritual ministry

• The model for all Sonship throughout creation

• The spiritual center and gravitational focus of all spirit forces

• Co-equal and co-eternal with the Father and the Infinite Spirit

His spiritual gravity is universal, drawing all spirit reality toward Paradise, just as the Isle of Paradise exerts physical gravity on the material universe.

Through the Eternal Son’s creative act with the Universal Father:

• The Infinite Spirit comes into existence

• The Havona universe is brought into being

• Countless orders of Paradise Sons (e.g., Creator Sons like Michael of Nebadon) are spawned

• The eternal foundations of divine love, mercy, and spiritual truth are established

As the spiritual center of all creation, the Eternal Son is the universe’s perfect revelation of God as spirit. While the Father is the source of personality and the Infinite Spirit is the source of divine mind, the Eternal Son is the source of all spiritual reality. His influence permeates the seven superuniverses through the actions of the Master Spirits, the Creator Sons, and the Spirit of Truth bestowed by Michael on evolutionary worlds.

For mortals like those of Urantia, the Eternal Son becomes personally meaningful through the life and ministry of Michael of Nebadon, whose incarnation as Jesus revealed the Eternal Son’s spirit of divine mercy, unabated love, and unending ministry.

Ultimately, the Eternal Son stands as the perfect spiritual ideal toward which all ascendant beings strive—the infinite spiritual face of God, eternally drawing all creation toward divine fulfillment.
