URANTIA is the name given by the universe directors to our planet, the Earth. The Urantians are the normal mortals of the various earthly races, the Terrestrians of the past, of the present, and of the future.

URANTIA was a commonplace planet of the local universe of NEBADON, which contains about ten million similar ones, of which 3,840,101 were inhabited in the year 1934 A.D. For the reasons outlined in this book, Urantia was nevertheless chosen by Christ Michael, Creator and Sovereign of the universe of Nebadon, for His bestowal in the likeness of mortal flesh under the personality of Jesus of Nazareth. The Urantian humanity was torn by the consequences of the Lucifer Rebellion. By showing the way to salvation, Christ Michael gave to the Earth and to the other planets of the universe an example of conformity to the will of God. Thereafter, Urantia was no longer a commonplace planet.
