КУ: billion

 3:5.15In the Havona universe there are a billion perfect worlds with their perfect inhabitants ...

8:1.4The God of Action functions and the dead vaults of space are astir. One billion perfect spheres flash into existence. ..l. There is no material universe at this (assumed) eternally distant moment, but the very instant that one billion worlds materialize, there is in evidence gravity sufficient and adequate to hold them in the everlasting grasp of Paradise.

11:3.4 Each of the seven sectors of Paradise is subdivided into residential units suitable for the lodgement headquarters of 1,000,000,000 glorified individual working groups. One thousand of these units constitute a division. One hundred thousand divisions equal one congregation. Ten million congregations constitute an assembly. One billion assemblies make one grand unit.

11:5.8This outer zone pulsates in agelong cycles of gigantic proportions. For a little more than one billion Urantia years the space-force of this centre is outgoing; then for a similar length of time it will be incoming.

11:5.9 ... the two-billion-year expansion-contraction cycles of space.

11:6.4The cycles of space respiration extend in each phase for a little more than one billion Urantia years.

11:6.5 For a billion years of Urantia time the space reservoirs contract while the master universe and the force activities of all horizontal space expand. It thus requires a little over two billion Urantia years to complete the entire expansion-contraction cycle.

12:1.10Havona ... This never-beginning, never-ending universe consists of one billion spheres of sublime perfection and is surrounded by the enormous dark gravity bodies.

12:4.12The entire seven superuniverses participate in the two-billion-year cycles of space respiration along with the outer regions of the master universe.

13:0.4On the seven sacred worlds of the Eternal Son... These brilliant spheres of the second circuit likewise emit their light (light without heat) to Paradise and to the billion worlds of the seven-circuited central universe.

13:3.2... each Paradise cycle, about two billion years of Urantia time ...

14:0.1... Havona ... It is of enormous dimensions and almost unbelievable mass and consists of one billion spheres of unimagined beauty and superb grandeur, but the true magnitude of this vast creation is really beyond the understanding grasp of the human mind.

14:1.9The billion worlds of Havona are arranged in seven concentric circuits immediately surrounding the three circuits of Paradise satellites.

14:3.4 The billion spheres of the central universe constitute the training worlds of the high personalities native to Paradise and Havona and further serve as the final proving grounds for ascending creatures from the evolutionary worlds of time.

14:4.11 The natives of Havona live on the billion spheres of the central universe ... As the material order of sonship carries on the material, intellectual, and spiritual economy of a billion local systems in a superuniverse, so, in a larger sense, do the Havona natives live and function on the billion worlds of the central universe.

14:4.18All beings in all universes are fashioned along the lines of some one order of pattern creature living on some one of the billion worlds of Havona.

14:5.6... Havona ... Each of these billion perfection spheres has been developed and embellished in accordance with the plans of the resident Eternal of Days. And this is just why no two of them are alike.

14:5.9 ... Havona ... Each of these billion study worlds is a veritable university of surprises.

15:1.1 Within the limited range of the records, observations, and memories of the generations of a million or a billion of your short years, to all practical intents and purposes, Urantia and the universe to which it belongs are experiencing the adventure of one long and uncharted plunge into new space ...

15:1.5Today, the solar system to which Urantia belongs is a few billion years past the swing around the southern curvature so that you are just now advancing beyond the south-eastern bend and are moving swiftly through the long and comparatively straightaway northern path.

15:2.9 7The 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 billion worlds of Havona are directly administered by the Eternals of Days ...

15:7.12If all the projected local universes and their component parts were established, there would be slightly less than 500 billion architectural worlds in the seven superuniverses.

15:10.11The three Ancients of Days are immediately assisted by a corps of one billion Perfectors of Wisdom, with whom are associated three billion Divine Counsellors. One billion Universal Censors are attached to each superuniverse administration.

16:5.5... ascenders are subjected to the long training and unifying discipline encountered on the one billion educational spheres of Havona.

18:2.1 Each of the billion worlds of Havona is directed by a Supreme Trinity Personality. These rulers are known as the Eternals of Days, and they number exactly one billion, one for each of the Havona spheres.

19:4.2 One Censor is commissioned on each of the billion worlds of the central universe ...

19:6.2The Havona natives. During your long sojourn on the billion worlds of Havona culture you will develop an eternal friendship for these superb beings.

20:2.2 We have reasons for believing that the total number of Magisterial Sons in the grand universe is about one billion.

22:3.2Those High in Authority ... There are now commissioned in Orvonton more than ten billion of these skillful administrators.

22:5.5 The Trinitized Custodians ... In their labours they are assisted by a corps of several billion seconaphim and other able superuniverse personalities.

22:9.3Almost one billion Celestial Guardians have been commissioned in Orvonton.

24:0.10The Graduate Guides are resident in the Havona universe and function on all its billion worlds.

24:5.1 The Assigned Sentinels ... They are of stationary numbers, and there are exactly seven billion in existence.

24:6.3Though you will associate with countless other personalities during your sojourn on a billion worlds, your Graduate Guide will follow you to the end of your Havona progression...

25:1.7... the last report of Uversa indicates that almost 138 billion servitals were ministering on its 490 satellites.

26:3.1On the billion study worlds of the perfect central creation, your superaphic associates of all orders will be fully visible to you.

29:0.10The Seven Supreme Directors were personalized by the Seven Master Spirits, and then they collaborated with their parents in the production of more than ten billion associates.

29:3.1 The Supreme Power Centres distributed throughout the superuniverses number, with their associates and subordinates, upward of ten billion. And they are all in perfect synchrony and complete liaison with their Paradise progenitors, the Seven Supreme Power Directors. The power control of the grand universe is thus entrusted to the keeping and direction of the Seven Master Spirits, the creators of the Seven Supreme Power Directors.

30:3.11The Student Visitors. .. On Uversa, at present, there are over one billion persons in this courtesy colony.

31:9.4The Havona Level. The second Architect eventuation yielded three master planners and absonite administrators, and they have always been devoted to the co-ordination of the one billion perfect spheres of the central universe.

32:2.3The first completed act of physical creation in Nebadon consisted in the organization of the headquarters world, the architectural sphere of Salvington, with its satellites. From the time of the initial moves of the power centres and physical controllers to the arrival of the living staff on the completed spheres of Salvington, there intervened a little over one billion years of your present planetary time.

37:5.6The last registration recorded slightly over 1.5 billion of these High Commissioners in Nebadon.

37:8.8 Celestial Recorders ... The advancing students of this order in training number almost 4 billion.

37:8.9 The ministry of the 70 billion Morontia Companions in Nebadon is described in those narratives dealing with the transition planets of the pilgrims of time.

41:3.2The largest star in the universe, the stellar cloud Antares, has a diameter 680 that of your sun — or about a billion kilometres.

41:9.3Your own solar centre radiates almost 10*14 tons of actual matter annually, while the giant suns lose matter at a prodigious rate during their earlier growth, the first billion years.

43:4.5... the long and intriguing journey of progressing mortals through the one billion perfection worlds of Havona and on to the indescribable delights of Paradise.

46:3.2 This Jerusem broadcast-receiving station is encircled by an enormous amphitheatre, constructed of scintillating materials largely unknown on Urantia and seating over five billion beings — material and morontia — besides accommodating innumerable spirit personalities.

48:3.1 These hosts of the mansion and morontia worlds are the offspring of a local universe Mother Spirit. They are created from age to age in groups of 100,000, and in Nebadon there are at present over seventy billion of these unique beings.

 59:0.1 We reckon the history of Urantia as beginning about one billion years ago and extending through five major eras...

118:1.2The personality of the mortal creature may eternalize by self-identification with the indwelling spirit through the technique of choosing to do the will of the Father. Such a consecration of will is tantamount to the realization of eternity-reality of purpose. This means that the purpose of the creature has become fixed with regard to the succession of moments; stated otherwise, that the succession of moments will witness no change in creature purpose. A million or a billion moments makes no difference. Number has ceased to have meaning with regard to the creature’s purpose. Thus does creature choice plus God’s choice eventuate in the eternal realities of the never-ending union of the spirit of God and the nature of man in the everlasting service of the children of God and of their Paradise Father.

119:0.7Michael of Nebadon is the 611,121st bestowal of the Eternal Son upon the universes of time and space, and he began the organization of your local universe about 400 billion years ago. Michael made ready for his first bestowal adventure about the time Urantia was taking on its present form, one billion years ago.

119:1.1 It was a solemn occasion on Salvington almost one billion years ago when the assembled directors and chiefs of the universe of Nebadon heard Michael announce that his elder brother, Immanuel, would presently assume authority in Nebadon while he (Michael) would be absent on an unexplained mission.

119:1.6 And that is all I am permitted to tell you of the first bestowal of Michael. We, of course, fully understand that this strange Melchizedek who so mysteriously served with the Melchizedeks a billion years ago was none other than the incarnated Michael on the mission of his first bestowal..

119:8.2It required almost one billion years of Urantia time to complete the bestowal career of Michael and to effect the final establishment of his supreme authority in the universe of his own creation.
