Urantia's Placement in the Grand Universe
This chart is based on a graphic by Bill Sadler, Jr., “Numerical Designation of Units.”
The Grand Universe — Units of Supergovernment
Listed from
| Unit | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | The System | The basic unit of the supergovernment consists of about one thousand inhabited or inhabitable worlds. Each inhabited planet is presided over by a Planetary Prince, and each local system has an architectural sphere as its headquarters and is ruled by a System Sovereign. |
| 2. | The Constellation | One hundred systems (about 100,000 inhabitable planets) make up a constellation. Each constellation has an architectural headquarters sphere and is presided over by three Vorondadek Sons, the Most Highs. Each constellation also has a Faithful of Days in observation, an ambassador of the Paradise Trinity. |
| 3. | The Local Universe | One hundred constellations (about 10,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a local universe. Each local universe has a magnificent architectural headquarters world and is ruled by one of the co-ordinate Creator Sons of God of the order of Michael. Each universe is blessed by the presence of a Union of Days. |
| 4. | The Minor Sector | One hundred local universes (about 1,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a minor sector of the superuniverse government. There are three Recents of Days, Supreme Trinity Personalities, on each minor sector headquarters. |
| 5. | The Major Sector | One hundred minor sectors (about 100,000,000,000 inhabitable worlds) make one major sector. Each major sector is provided with a superb headquarters and is presided over by three Perfections of Days, Supreme Trinity Personalities. |
| 6. | The Superuniverse | Ten major sectors (about 1,000,000,000,000 inhabitable planets) constitute a superuniverse. Each superuniverse is provided with an enormous and glorious headquarters world and is ruled by three Ancients of Days. |
| 7. | The Grand Universe | Seven superuniverses make up the present organized grand universe, consisting of approximately seven trillion inhabitable worlds plus the architectural spheres and the one billion inhabited spheres of Havona. The superuniverses are ruled and administered indirectly and reflectively from Paradise by the Seven Master Spirits. |

“Satania itself is composed of over seven thousand astronomical groups, or physical systems, few of which had an origin similar to that of your solar system.”
“There are upward of two thousand brilliant suns pouring forth light and energy in Satania, and your own sun is an average blazing orb. Of the thirty suns nearest yours, only three are brighter.”
“Satania is not a uniform physical system, a single astronomic unit or organization. Its 619 inhabited worlds are located in over five hundred different physical systems.”
