The Apostles John and Judas

From paper 139 we explore the personalities as they are described n the Urantia Book regarding John Zebedee and Judas Iscariot, two apostles who could not be farther apart in personality, character and faith in the their Master Jesus.


It is said these papers have been instrumental in convincing many readers of the Urantia Book of its authenticity as a divine revelation, including Dr. William S. Sadler, and the reverend and Dr. Meredith J. Sprunger.

You will be more than captivated learning about these two men who were part of the most important spiritual event in the history of mankind, being ambassadors of the Son of Man and Son of God.


1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Welcome to another edition of
the Urantia Radio podcast.

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,760
I am a longtime reader and
student and fellow in studying

3
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,120
the. 5th Epical.
Revelation, the Urantia book,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,600
and in this episode, we're going
to begin to.

5
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,320
Talk about the apostles.
And read from the Urantia book,

6
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:21,160
particularly one paper 139, and
delve into who these unique

7
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,600
personalities were.
They were part of the initial

8
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,320
team that Jesus had assembled
when he went about undertaking

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,480
the public tour the final years.
Of his life.

10
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,040
These were his best friends.
These were his.

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,520
Brothers.
These were the ambassadors of

12
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,640
the Kingdom that Jesus.
Brought to the world.

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,240
And I think that you'll find it
a very fascinating read.

14
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:46,360
As a matter of fact, it is of
historical note that two, maybe

15
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:50,360
3 of the people involved in the
early printing and then the

16
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,920
promotion of the Urantia.
Book say that.

17
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,560
For a long time, in reading and
studying the book, they weren't

18
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:01,280
convinced it was an authentic
revelation until they read.

19
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,280
What we're about to.
Read today Paper 139 the.

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,960
Apostles of Jesus.
And we'll start with two

21
00:01:06,960 --> 00:01:12,120
definitively interesting.
Characters The youngest apostle

22
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,160
and the last apostle.
John Zebedee and.

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Judas Iscariot when we.
Continue in just a moment on the

24
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,840
Urantia.
Radio Podcast.

25
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,120
Welcome back to the.
Ranch Radio podcast to Jim

26
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,680
Watkins It's.
Good to have.

27
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,040
You here and every once in a
while.

28
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,120
Before we get to the.
Readings of John Zebedee.

29
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:47,720
And and Judas Iscariot because
we took a take a look at the

30
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,480
apostles.
In the Urantia book I I do want

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,000
to every once in a while.
I think it's always.

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,520
Good to touch, reach out to
folks.

33
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:56,280
Who are listening?
To this podcast.

34
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,000
From around the world while we
have a.

35
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,200
Majority of people.
Who listen to the Urantia Radio

36
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,400
podcast from the United States.
We also have a.

37
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Fair amount of people that
listen to us from other.

38
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,680
Countries as well, which is
always.

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,480
Encouraging to me because.
We're talking about.

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,000
The 5th epical Revelation.
Of course.

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,000
And it's.
Nice to know that.

42
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,720
It has appealed to.
Our brothers and sisters in

43
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,560
other parts of the world,
including Australia.

44
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,680
Where up to three.
Percent of the audience is

45
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:28,960
comprised of Australians who
listen.

46
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,760
To this podcast regularly we
also have a.

47
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,480
Fair number of people that are
in the United Kingdom that

48
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,800
listen to us regularly.
So we appreciate you.

49
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:43,960
Germany, about the same amount
of people from Germany as from

50
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,120
the United Kingdom listen to the
podcast every week.

51
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,480
And then of course, Canada and
in Canada, the majority of the

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,720
listening in Canada is from the
people who live in the western

53
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,560
part of the country in British
Columbia.

54
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,520
So we thank all.
Of you we also.

55
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,520
Can break it down to the folks
that are listening on Apple

56
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:09,040
through the iTunes podcast.
We also have folks that are

57
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,280
listening through the Google
Podcast platform.

58
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,720
A real majority of people are
listening through US on Spotify.

59
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,600
And good news?
There I have reworked.

60
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,120
My.
Urantia Radio podcast website.

61
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,760
Might be good.
But there is a.

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,960
Way where you can.
Save a website.

63
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,800
On your home screen, on your
iPhone and all you have.

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,680
To do is scroll.
Down to the bottom and there's a

65
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:32,840
little.
Square or.

66
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,160
Rectangle with an.
With an arrow.

67
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,720
That points up and if you hit
that button and you're on a web.

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,480
Page it'll ask if.
You want to save it to your home

69
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,080
screen and then.
That way you don't have to keep

70
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800
entering in the.
The web web address you.

71
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Just see the icon and that's how
I do it and it's.

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,760
The Urantia Radio Podcast.
And that's all it.

73
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Is it's.
Got a little bit of information

74
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,320
on some things and I'll post
articles there from time to

75
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,800
time, but.
All of the podcasts are there.

76
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040
I'm going to archive.
Every one of them there for

77
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,080
perpetuity, and it's your
rancher radio.

78
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:14,680
Dot org your rancherradio.org.
That is the new web platform.

79
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,880
That is the.
Holding pin for all.

80
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,120
Of these podcasts and we have
well over. 150.

81
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,040
Podcasts.
That have been.

82
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,800
Created over the past few years,
we're.

83
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,680
Growing exponentially.
I find it interesting that.

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,400
Two pivotal people involved.
In the Urantia.

85
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Book Doctor William Sadler, of
course he.

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:39,800
And his wife Elena were very,
very instrumental and making it

87
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,960
possible the conditions that
eventuated in the Urantia book.

88
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:50,040
Being published, but what?
People may not know is that for

89
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:55,000
a long time, Doctor William
Sadler did not wholly believe in

90
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,120
the.
Authenticity of the Urantia.

91
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,760
Book as a revelation.
He knew.

92
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,440
He knew he had something
special, but he didn't

93
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,160
understand and.
He was a critic.

94
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,320
I mean, he was a very.
Critical guy, this guy.

95
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,160
Would go around and you know
back then in the 1920s and 30s

96
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,360
mediumship.
Was a very popular.

97
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,320
Form of entertainment.
People would go watch people

98
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,480
like Edgar Cayce and.
You know, even all the

99
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,120
magicians, Houdini, many of
these people.

100
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,800
In fact, I think I read
somewhere that Houdini was

101
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,600
actually shown the Urantia book
and asked what he thought, and I

102
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,200
don't know what he.
Said but I.

103
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:33,520
Do know that there?
Was a lot of.

104
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,800
Skepticism about the Urantia
book and Doctor William Sadler

105
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,720
admitted that for many, many.
Years he had doubts like could

106
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,960
this really be what it what it
says it is?

107
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:51,200
And he said that.
The turning of events was when

108
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,800
he.
Read and.

109
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,640
Started receiving the papers on.
The apostles and he.

110
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,000
Was free, pretty fluent in the
Bible and the.

111
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,080
Gospels particularly, but he
said that the way that the

112
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,680
Urantia book described the the
apostles.

113
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,920
And in Paper 139.
In The Life and Teachings of

114
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,040
Jesus, section of the Urantia
Book Papers, 139.

115
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,200
They dedicate that whole paper
to the 12 apostles.

116
00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:28,320
And to my knowledge, this would
be the first time in literature.

117
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,320
That you would have.
Such an expose.

118
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,480
Of the.
Apostles and their lives.

119
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,520
We don't know really much other
than what the Bible.

120
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:43,680
Tells us about the.
Apostles we can speculate and

121
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:44,800
maybe the Urantia.
Book is.

122
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,920
Speculating, but when you.
Read the words.

123
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,240
It becomes clear that the person
who wrote.

124
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,920
These particular chapters must.
Have had some insight.

125
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,200
That that we just.
Don't know and, and, and the

126
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520
other person that was also
convinced of the Urantia Book's

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,360
authenticity as a revelation was
none other than Doctor Meredith

128
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,960
Sprunger.
And for those who know, Doctor

129
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,800
Meredith Sprunger, for many
years from the early 60s, he

130
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,280
actually became friends with
William.

131
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Sadler but.
It was by the condition that he

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,520
and fellow ministers had gone to
Chicago.

133
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,040
To question Doctor Sadler.
On the book that he had become

134
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:29,560
familiar with because Meredith
Sprunger was.

135
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,120
Also very skeptical.
Took him almost a year from the

136
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:39,440
time his friend Judge
Hammerschmidt gave him a copy of

137
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,240
the book and said, what do you
think of this?

138
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,840
And he was a minister at that
time.

139
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:50,280
And I believe he had a a church
in South Bend Anyway, for years

140
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,000
and years.
Meredith Sprunger.

141
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,440
Actually took the torch.
In many ways from William Sadler

142
00:07:56,440 --> 00:08:00,280
and integrated it into his his
sermons.

143
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:03,120
I'm not telling the.
The people, of course, but he

144
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480
would be very subtle.
But he would integrate some of

145
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,120
the Urantia truths from the lies
and teachings of Jesus into his,

146
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,320
into his.
Speeches so this.

147
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Should tell you something.
About the power.

148
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,440
Of the Urantia book, and
particularly since both of those

149
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,000
gentlemen actually were
convinced of the authenticity.

150
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,840
Of the Urantia.
Book as a revelation after

151
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,200
reading.
The Apostles, so I.

152
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,360
Thought it would be an
interesting thing to maybe read

153
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,080
about John Zebedee and Judas
Iscariot 2 extreme.

154
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,400
Opposites of the Apostles.
And then perhaps we'll get into

155
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:43,880
some of the.
Other apostles later.

156
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,000
And then at some point I would.
Like to read the?

157
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:48,560
Urantia Books.
Interpretation.

158
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,840
Of the Gospels.
And how they came to be, because

159
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,440
I find that also very
fascinating, especially for

160
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,680
Christians who want to.
Delve a little deeper into

161
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,760
Scripture.
And find out a little bit more

162
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,280
about these incredible 12 men
that.

163
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720
Jesus chose to.
Carry his message to the world.

164
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,200
So let us begin.
Then from paper 139 and Section

165
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:18,480
4, we read about John Zebedee
when he became an apostle.

166
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,560
John was 24 years.
Old, and he was.

167
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:21,720
The youngest.
Of the 12.

168
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,920
He was unmarried and lived with
his parents in Beseda.

169
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,560
He was a fisherman and.
Worked with his brother.

170
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:30,520
James in partnership with.
Andrew and Peter.

171
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Both before and after becoming
an apostle, John functioned as

172
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,560
the personal agent of Jesus in
dealing with the master's

173
00:09:38,560 --> 00:09:42,560
family, and he continued to bear
this responsibility as long as

174
00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:47,640
Mary, the mother of Jesus, lived
since John was the youngest of

175
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,120
the 12 and so closely.
Associated with Jesus.

176
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,920
And his family affairs.
He was very dear.

177
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,080
To the Master, but it cannot be
truthfully.

178
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,200
Said that he was quote the
disciple.

179
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,480
Whom Jesus loved.
That's from a quote in the

180
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:05,360
Bible.
You would hardly suspect such.

181
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,320
A magnanimous personality.
As Jesus to be.

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,160
Guilty of showing favoritism, of
loving one of his apostles more

183
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:13,720
than the.
Others the fact that.

184
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,160
John was one of the three
personal aides of Jesus lent

185
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,400
further color to this mistaken
idea.

186
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:23,800
Not to mention that John, along
with his brother James, had

187
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:25,720
known Jesus longer than the
others.

188
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,120
Peter, James and John were
assigned as personal aides to

189
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,280
Jesus soon after they became
apostles.

190
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,520
Shortly after the.
Selection of the 12 and at the

191
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,160
time Jesus appointed Andrew.
To act as the director of the

192
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,200
group.
He said to him, now I.

193
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Desire that you assign two or
three of your associates.

194
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:50,040
To be with me and to remain by
my side, to comfort me and to

195
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,720
minister to my daily needs.
And Andrew thought.

196
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,320
Best to select for this special
duty.

197
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,120
The next three first chosen
apostles he would have liked to.

198
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Volunteer for such a.
Blessed service himself, but the

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:09,600
Master had already given him his
Commission, so he immediately.

200
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:12,840
Directed that Peter.
James and John attached

201
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,200
themselves to Jesus.
John Zebedee had many lovely.

202
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,600
Traits of character, but.
One which was not.

203
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,000
So lovely was his.
Inordinate but usually well

204
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:28,400
concealed conceit, his long
association with Jesus made many

205
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,160
and great changes in his
character.

206
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,800
This conceit was greatly
lessened, but after.

207
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Growing old and becoming more or
less childish, this self esteem

208
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,400
reappeared to a certain extent,
so that when engaged in

209
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,880
directing Nathan in the writing
of the Gospels which now bears

210
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,360
his name, the aged apostle did
not hesitate.

211
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,760
Repeatedly to refer to himself
as the disciple.

212
00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:57,120
Whom Jesus loved, in view of the
fact that John came nearer to

213
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,920
being the chum of Jesus than any
other mortal.

214
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,000
That he was his.
Chosen personal representative

215
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,680
in so many matters, it is not
strange that he should have come

216
00:12:06,680 --> 00:12:08,560
to regard.
Himself as the disciple.

217
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,080
Who whom Jesus loved, since he
most certainly knew he was the.

218
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,360
He was the disciple.
When whom?

219
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:20,800
Jesus so frequently trusted the.
Strongest trait in John's

220
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:26,800
character was his dependability
he was prompt and courageous,

221
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,240
faithful and.
Devoted, his greatest.

222
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Weakness was this characteristic
conceit.

223
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:36,080
He was the youngest member of
his father's family and the

224
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:37,720
youngest of the Apostolic.
Group.

225
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:40,000
Perhaps he was just a bit
spoiled.

226
00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:42,320
Maybe.
He had been humoured slightly

227
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,920
too much, but the John of after.
Years was a very.

228
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:50,080
Different type of person than
the self admiring and arbitrary

229
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,240
young man who joined the ranks
of.

230
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,600
Jesus as apostles.
When he was 20.

231
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,720
Four those characteristics of
Jesus, which.

232
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,760
John most appreciated were the
Master's love and unselfishness.

233
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,760
These traits made such an
impression on him.

234
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360
That his whole subsequent.
Life became dominated by the

235
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:16,360
sentiment of love and brotherly.
Devotion, he talked about.

236
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,240
Love and wrote about love this
son of Thunder became the.

237
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:24,760
Apostle of love.
And at Ephesus, when the aged

238
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,480
Bishop was no longer able to
stand in the pulpit and preach.

239
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,960
But had to be carried to a.
Church and a chair and when at

240
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,400
the.
Close of the service, he was

241
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,480
asked to say a few words to the
believers.

242
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:42,000
For years his only utterance was
my little children love one

243
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,720
another.
John was a man of.

244
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:46,560
Few words.
Except when his temper.

245
00:13:46,560 --> 00:13:49,000
Was aroused.
He thought much.

246
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,240
But said little as he grew
older.

247
00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:55,440
His temper became more subdued,
better controlled, but he never

248
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,960
overcame his disinclination to
talk.

249
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:01,760
He never fully mastered this
reticence.

250
00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,440
But he was gifted.
With a remarkable and creative

251
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:10,080
imagination, there was another
side to John that one would not

252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,640
expect to find in this quiet and
introspective type.

253
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:18,120
He was somewhat bigoted and
inordinately intolerant.

254
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,760
In this respect.
He and James were much alike.

255
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,960
They both wanted to call down
fire from heaven on the.

256
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,040
Heads of the disrespectful.
Samaritans.

257
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:32,560
When John encountered some
strangers teaching in Jesus's

258
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:37,280
name, he promptly forbade them.
But he was not the only one of

259
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,560
the 12 who was tainted with this
kind of self esteem and

260
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:46,600
superiority consciousness.
John's life was tremendously

261
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:48,600
influenced.
By the sight.

262
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:53,160
Of Jesus going about without a
home, as he knew how faithfully

263
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,640
he had made provisions for the
care of his mother and family.

264
00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,600
John also deeply sympathized.
With Jesus because of.

265
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,960
His family's failure to
understand him being aware.

266
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,320
That they were gradually.
Withdrawing from him this

267
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,880
entire.
Situation together with Jesus's

268
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,840
ever.
Deferring his slightest.

269
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,560
Wish to the will of the.
Father in Heaven and his daily

270
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,720
life of implicit trust made such
a profound impression on John

271
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,320
that it produced market and
permanent changes in his

272
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,440
character, changes which
manifested themselves throughout

273
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,920
his entire subsequent life.
John had a cool and daring

274
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,040
courage which.
Few of the other apostles

275
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,040
possessed he was the.
Only one who followed right

276
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,680
along with Jesus at the night of
his arrest and dared to

277
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,400
accompany his Master into the
very.

278
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,440
Jaws of death.
He was present and near at hand.

279
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840
Right up to the last earthly
hour.

280
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,160
And was found faithfully
carrying out his trust.

281
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,920
With regard to Jesus.
'S mother and ready to receive.

282
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,360
Such.
Additional instructions as might

283
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,640
be given during the last moments
of the Master's mortal

284
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,280
existence.
One thing is certain, John was

285
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,560
thoroughly dependable.
John usually sat on Jesus's

286
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,080
right hand when the 12 were at
meet.

287
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:17,920
He was the first of the 12,
really.

288
00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:20,240
And fully to believe in the
resurrection.

289
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,080
And he was.
The first to.

290
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,160
Recognize the master when he
came to them on the.

291
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,040
Seashore after his resurrection.
This son of Zebedee.

292
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,680
Was very closely associated.
With Peter in the early.

293
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,400
Activities of the Christian.
Movement becoming one of the.

294
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,800
Chief supporters of the.
Jerusalem Church.

295
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,880
He was the right hand support of
Peter.

296
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,640
On the day.
Of Pentecost several years.

297
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,440
After the martyrdom of James,
John married.

298
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,640
His brother's widow.
The last 20 years of his life.

299
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:56,440
He was cared for.
By a loving granddaughter, John

300
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,160
was imprisoned several times and
was banished.

301
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,880
To the Isle of.
Patmos for a.

302
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,520
Period of four years.
Until another emperor came to

303
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:11,359
power in Rome, had not John been
tactful and sagacious, he would

304
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,400
undoubtedly have been killed.
As.

305
00:17:13,599 --> 00:17:16,119
Was his more outspoken brother
James.

306
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,800
As the years passed.
John together with James.

307
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,640
The Lord's brother.
Learned to practice wise

308
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,800
conciliation when they.
Appeared before the Civil.

309
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,800
Magistrates, they found that a
soft.

310
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,760
Answer turns away wrath.
They also learned to represent

311
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,200
the.
Church as a spiritual

312
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,840
brotherhood devoted to the
social service.

313
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,640
Of mankind rather than as the
Kingdom of heaven.

314
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,520
They taught loving service
rather than ruling power,

315
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,880
Kingdom and king.
When in temporary exile on

316
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,040
Patmos, John wrote the Book of
Revelation, which you now have

317
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,880
in greatly abridged and
distorted form.

318
00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,080
This Book of Revelation contains
the surviving fragments.

319
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,840
Of a great revelation large.
Portions of which were lost,

320
00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,240
other portions of which were
removed subsequent to John's

321
00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,280
writing.
It is preserved.

322
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,320
Only in fragmentary and
adulterated form.

323
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,800
John traveled much, labored
incessantly, and after becoming

324
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,520
Bishop.
Of the Asia churches settled

325
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,440
down at Ephesus, he directed his
associate.

326
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:28,160
Nathan in the writing.
Of the so-called Gospel.

327
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,440
According to John Ataphysus when
he was 99 years old.

328
00:18:33,120 --> 00:18:36,200
Of all the 12 apostles.
John Zebedee eventually became

329
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,640
the outstanding theologian.
He died a natural death

330
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:45,640
Ataphysus in AD one O 3 when he
was 101 years of age.

331
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,240
So there you have.
The more complete story of John

332
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,520
Zebedee the.
Disciple that Jesus loved.

333
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,800
Now, in a minute, we're going to
take another turn and take a

334
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,640
look at another.
Apostle Judas Iscariot We'll

335
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:03,120
take a brief music.
Interlude and then continue on

336
00:19:03,120 --> 00:19:05,480
with our examination.
Of the apostles.

337
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:40,440
In the Urantia book.
All right, let's get into.

338
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,880
The story of Judas the 12th
apostle.

339
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:45,360
This is sort.
Of the first time that we've.

340
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,080
Ever, actually.
Taken a look at.

341
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:49,640
The apostles themselves.
And how the urantia?

342
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,720
Book describes these unique
characters that were a part of

343
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,080
basically Jesus's team.
This was the team that he

344
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,960
assembled.
It's a wonderful.

345
00:19:59,960 --> 00:20:03,200
Story it's.
So much more full than what you

346
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:06,280
might pick up in the.
Scripture.

347
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,680
Makes it more interesting I
think and certainly a more

348
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,040
thought provoking approach to
who these men were, the

349
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,480
challenges they faced.
Their relationship with Jesus

350
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,240
was unique.
That's one good thing about this

351
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,360
paper 139 is that it goes into
the relationships that.

352
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:29,720
The each of the apostles had and
the appeal to each of their

353
00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,400
hearts.
So then, let us read from Paper

354
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:38,080
139, section 12 on.
Judas Iscariot Judas Iscariot,

355
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,080
the 12th Apostle.
Was chosen by Nathaniel.

356
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,320
He was born in Kirioth, a small
town in southern Judea.

357
00:20:46,360 --> 00:20:49,000
When he was a lad, his parents
moved to Jericho.

358
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,520
Where he lived.
And had been employed in his

359
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,160
father's various business
enterprises until he became

360
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,440
interested in the preachings and
the work of John the.

361
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,400
Baptist Judas's parents were
Sadducees.

362
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:06,480
And when their son joined John's
disciples, they disowned him

363
00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:11,120
when Nathaniel met.
Judas at Terekia.

364
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:17,520
He was seeking employment with a
fish drawing enterprise at the

365
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,560
lowest end.
Of the sea of Galilee he was 30

366
00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:23,560
years of.
Age and unmarried when he joined

367
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:25,880
the Apostles.
He was probably the best

368
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,040
educated.
Man among the 12 and the only

369
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:32,200
Judean in the Masters Apostolic
family.

370
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:37,600
Judas had no outstanding trait
of personal strength, though he

371
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,800
had many outwardly appearing
traits of culture and habits of

372
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,720
training.
He was a good thinker, but not

373
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:49,680
always a truly honest thinker.
Judas did not really understand

374
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:54,120
himself and he was not really
sincere in dealing with himself.

375
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,600
Andrew appointed.
Judas, Treasurer of the 12A

376
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,680
position.
Which he eminently.

377
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,040
Was fitted to hold.
And up to the time of the

378
00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,920
betrayal of his master.
He discharged the

379
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,120
responsibilities of his office.
Honestly, faithfully, and most

380
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:15,120
efficiently.
There was no special trait about

381
00:22:15,120 --> 00:22:16,360
Jesus.
Which Judas?

382
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,320
Admired above the generally
attractive and exquisitely

383
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:25,600
charming personality of the
master, Judas was never able to.

384
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,120
Rise above his.
Judean prejudices against his

385
00:22:29,120 --> 00:22:33,200
Galilean associates.
He would even criticize in his

386
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:37,720
mind many things about Jesus,
Him whom 11 of the apostles

387
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:42,680
looked upon as the perfect man,
as the one quote, one altogether

388
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,160
lovely and the chiefest among
10,000.

389
00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,360
This self satisfied.
Judean often dared to criticize

390
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:51,800
in his own.
Heart he really.

391
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,440
Entertained the notion that
Jesus was timid and somewhat

392
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,720
afraid to assert his own power
and authority.

393
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:02,240
Judas was a good.
Businessman.

394
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,200
It required tact, ability and
patience, as well as painstaking

395
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:10,360
devotion to manage the financial
affairs of such an idealist as

396
00:23:10,360 --> 00:23:12,680
Jesus, to say nothing of
wrestling.

397
00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:15,360
With the helter skelter.
Business method.

398
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,760
Of some of his apostles, Judas
was a great executive a far.

399
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Seeing and able financier and
he.

400
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,960
Was a stickler for.
Organization.

401
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,600
None of the 12.
Ever criticized Judas as far as

402
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,320
they could see Judas Iscariot?
Was a matchless treasurer, a

403
00:23:34,360 --> 00:23:37,280
learned man, a loyal though,
sometimes.

404
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,200
Critical Apostle.
And at every sense of.

405
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,960
The world a great success.
The apostles loved Judas.

406
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:46,280
He was.
Really one of them.

407
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,240
He must have believed in Jesus.
But.

408
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,040
We doubt rather he.
Really loved the Master.

409
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:56,760
With a whole heart, the case of
Judas illustrates the.

410
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,560
Truthfulness of the saying.
There is a way that.

411
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,720
Seems right to a man, but the
end.

412
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,440
Thereof is death.
It is altogether possible to

413
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,160
fall.
Victim to the peaceful deception

414
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,720
of pleasant adjustment.
To the paths.

415
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:15,360
Of sin and death.
Be assured that Judas was.

416
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:19,400
Always financially loyal to his
master and his fellow.

417
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,920
Apostles.
Money could never have been the

418
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:23,280
motive.
For his betrayal.

419
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,800
Of the master, Judas was an only
son of unwise parents.

420
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,480
When very young, he was pampered
and petted.

421
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,560
He was a spoiled child.
As he grew up, he had

422
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,320
exaggerated ideas about his.
Self importance.

423
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,080
He was a poor loser, he had.
Loose and distorted ideas about

424
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,040
fairness.
He was given to the indulgence

425
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,760
of hate and suspicion.
He was an expert at

426
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,120
misinterpretation of the.
Words and acts.

427
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:54,920
Of his friends.
All through his life, Judas had

428
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,400
cultivated the habit of.
Getting even with those whom he

429
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,960
fancied had mistreated him.
His sense of values.

430
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,760
And loyalties was defective to
Jesus.

431
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,440
Judas was a faith.
Adventure from the beginning of

432
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:16,040
the Master fully understood the
weakness of this apostle, and

433
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,000
well knew the dangers of
admitting him.

434
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:21,440
To Fellowship.
But it is the nature of the

435
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,320
sons.
Of God to give.

436
00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:28,240
Every created being a full and
equal chance for salvation and.

437
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:31,520
Survival, Jesus.
Wanted not only the mortals of

438
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:36,000
this world, but the onlookers of
innumerable other worlds to know

439
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,640
that when doubts exist as to the
sincerity and wholeheartedness.

440
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:42,640
Of a creature's.
Devotion to the Kingdom.

441
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:45,880
It is the invariable.
Practice of the judges.

442
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:51,200
Of men fully to receive the
doubtful candidate, the door of

443
00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:52,440
eternal.
Life is wide.

444
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:56,640
Open to all, quote whosoever
will may come.

445
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,880
There are no restrictions or
qualifications, save.

446
00:25:59,880 --> 00:26:02,480
The faith of.
The one who comes.

447
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,760
This is just the.
Reason why Jesus permitted Judas

448
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,400
to go on to the very end, always
doing everything possible to

449
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,600
transform and save this week and
confused.

450
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,960
Apostle.
But when light is not honestly

451
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:21,920
received and lived up to, it
tends to become darkness within

452
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,880
the soul.
Judas grew intellectually

453
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:28,640
regarding Jesus's teachings
about the Kingdom, but he did

454
00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:30,640
not make progress in the
achievement.

455
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,720
Of spiritual character, as did
the other apostles, he.

456
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:38,920
Failed to make satisfactory
personal progress in spiritual

457
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,600
experience.
Judas became increasingly a

458
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,280
brooder over personal
disappointments, and finally he

459
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,600
became a victim of resentment.
His feelings had been many times

460
00:26:50,600 --> 00:26:54,200
hurt and he grew abnormally.
Suspicious of his best.

461
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Friends even of the master.
Presently he became obsessed

462
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,320
with the idea of getting even
anything to avenge himself.

463
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,720
Yes, even betrayal.
Of the.

464
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,680
Associates and the master.
But these?

465
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,800
Wicked and dangerous ideas did
not take definite shape until

466
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:16,000
the day when a grateful woman
broke an expensive box of

467
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:17,880
incense.
At Jesus's feet.

468
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,800
This seemed.
Wasteful to Judas?

469
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,920
And when his?
Public protest was so.

470
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:26,640
Sweepingly disallowed.
By Jesus right there.

471
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,040
In the hearing of.
All it was too.

472
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,320
Much that event determined the
mobilization of all the

473
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,760
accumulated hate, hurt, malice,
prejudice, jealousy, and

474
00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:39,440
revenge.
Of a lifetime.

475
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:44,480
And he made-up in his mind to
get even with he knew not whom.

476
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,520
But he crystallized all of the
evil of his.

477
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,480
Nature upon the one innocent
person in all the sort of drama

478
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,800
of his unfortunate.
Life just because Jesus.

479
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,840
Happened to be.
The chief actor.

480
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,760
In the episode which marked his
passing from the progressive

481
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:07,440
Kingdom of Light into that self
chosen domain of darkness, the

482
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,320
Master many times, both
privately and publicly, had

483
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,440
warned Judas.
That he was slipping.

484
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,200
But divine warnings are usually
useless in dealing with

485
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,080
embittered human nature.
Jesus did everything possible

486
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,040
consistent with man's moral
freedom to prevent Judas's

487
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,040
choosing to go the wrong.
Way the great test.

488
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:30,960
Finally came the son of
resentment failed he.

489
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,080
Yielded to the sour.
And sordid dictates of a proud

490
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,840
and vengeful mind of exaggerated
self importance and swiftly

491
00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:44,360
plunged on down into confusion,
despair and depravity.

492
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Judas then entered into the base
and shameful.

493
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,240
Intrigue to betray the Lord, his
Lord.

494
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:56,320
And master and quickly carried
the nefarious scheme into effect

495
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,960
during the outworking of his
anger conceived plans of

496
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:01,880
traitorious betrayal.
He.

497
00:29:01,880 --> 00:29:07,400
Experienced moments of regret
and shame, and in these lucid

498
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:11,400
intervals he faint heartedly
conceived as a defense in his

499
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:13,720
own mind.
The idea that Jesus.

500
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,920
Might.
Possibly exert his power.

501
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:21,160
And deliver himself at the last
minute, when the sordid and

502
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,960
sinful business.
Was all over this.

503
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,560
Renegade mortal who thought
lightly of selling his friend.

504
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:30,720
For 30 pieces of silver to
satisfy his.

505
00:29:30,720 --> 00:29:34,600
Long nursed, craving for
revenge, rushed out and

506
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:37,520
committed the final act in the
drama of fleeing from the

507
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:41,760
realities of mortal existence,
suicide, the 11.

508
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:46,040
Apostles were horrified.
Stunned, Jesus regarded the

509
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,520
betrayal only with pity.
The world's have found it

510
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:54,400
difficult to forgive Judas.
And his name has become eschewed

511
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:59,920
throughout a far-flung universe.
Now, that's not a legacy I would

512
00:29:59,920 --> 00:30:04,800
want to have, but you can see
from the elegance and and the.

513
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,480
Phraseology of of these.
Descriptions of the apostles

514
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:10,840
that they come across wholly
authentic.

515
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:14,840
I can see why.
People of great.

516
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:19,640
Religious education and faith,
namely Dr. William Sadler and

517
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,720
also Meredith Sprunger, would
have been captivated and

518
00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:26,280
convinced.
By these papers about the 12

519
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,360
apostles.
And we may again venture into

520
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,160
this.
Let me know if you like these.

521
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,040
Short readings of the apostles.
I think it'd be great to go.

522
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,600
Through each one of them, I
think each one.

523
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,760
Deserves a second look.
Much of their lives and the

524
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,960
truths of their lives and the.
Relationship with Jesus has been

525
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,320
lost through.
The sands of time, and I enjoy

526
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,600
reading them.
So we'll take a break here.

527
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:49,880
We'll see you.
Again on the.

528
00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:53,400
Other side of the.
Episodes As we continue with the

529
00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,760
Urantia Radio podcast, Just
Remember Your Rancher.
