The Heathen Are Raging
It seems the times are appropriate to remember what Jesus told his followers about the Heathen, why they rage, and what we should learn from their strategy. Today's heathens are those same forces who want to eliminate religion, demonize the faithful, and remove the idea of God from the lips and thoughts of mankind.
Let me know if you like this kind of subject matter.
1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
Welcome to the Urantia Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,640
My name is Jim Watkins and the
name of this podcast is called
3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Why Do the Heathen Rage?
So we're going to get into Jesus
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,760
went through during a very
tumultuous period in his life
5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,520
with his apostles and what we're
going through.
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,360
And they're very similar, more
similar than you think.
7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,920
And it explains a lot of the
behavior that's going on in the
8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,440
world today.
Now, I also like to take a few
9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080
moments in the introduction to
tell you if there's some
10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,440
significant events coming up in
the Urantia community.
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,240
So if you have a significant
event that you would like to
12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,400
promote, send it to me at
urantiabookradio@gmail.com.
13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,480
But do me a favor, promote what
we're doing here.
14
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,400
We're trying to grow at the
podcast because we're trying to
15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,600
grow awareness of the 5th epical
revelation.
16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,880
The best way to get a hold of
me?

you'll find everything you need
24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,120
about this upcoming Spotlight
series in a second.
25
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,720
Why do the heathen rage?
Good question, isn't it?
26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Let's find out what Jesus had to
say about it.
27
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Well, it's really nice to have
you back here for another
28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
edition of the The Ranch Radio
podcast.
29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,120
And today we're going to talk
about something that I've
30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680
thought about often and and
there's a reason that I called
31
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480
this episode, the the heathen
are raging.
32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,960
And the reason that the heathen
are raging are plenty, no
33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000
question about that.
But I think, I think it is often
34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,160
when I see the amount of
confusion that's going on in the
35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,520
world and there's no doubt a lot
of people are anxious, very
36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
anxious.
Even my son was commenting about
37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
how everywhere he goes, people
are just really caught up in all
38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600
that's going on.
And I can certainly detect that
39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,160
when I have people on the
program.
40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400
And if you've noticed in the
last couple of episodes,
41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
everybody is really concerned
about what's happening.
42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,720
There's there's no question.
I know in my mind and in your
43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240
mind that the earth is going
through a transition.
44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,080
And the way that I explained it
to my son was that, you know, up
45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,480
until most recently, things in
life took a long time to change.
46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,880
It wasn't really until, say, the
discovery of certain principles
47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,720
like, you know, steam power and
electricity that things started
48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
to accelerate.
Just like right after the Guten,
49
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,080
the Gutenberg press and people
started being able to read,
50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,840
things started to develop.
Well, now the ship is out of the
51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,280
harbor and the Urantia Book
among you know, I'm not not only
52
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,240
the Urantia book, but every
anything right now will tell you
53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,240
that the thing, the rate at
which there is change is very
54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,800
unsettling.
And they talk about this in
55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,720
paper 195 of the Urantia book
where they talk about the future
56
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,400
and it's natural to feel
anxious.
57
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,200
So let's all take a a breath and
understand that yes, we are a
58
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,040
part of a particular inflection
point in history, but not as all
59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,880
lost.
You know, we will get through
60
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,280
this.
We've gotten through a lot
61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320
worse.
I'm sure that it was a lot
62
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,600
harder to live as a Sangick as
it is to live as a as an
63
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640
American, you know.
But nevertheless, there are
64
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,640
forces at work that are creating
a lot of the tension in the
65
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
world, and most of it has to do
with power and people who are
66
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,400
arrogant and they just want to
be in control.
67
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Other people want to be left
alone, but they're also
68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040
underlying forces.
And I do believe that we are in
69
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920
an ideological struggle.
I absolutely believe that.
70
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,399
And it is between materialism
and faith.
71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,240
And and when is it has have
hasn't been that.
72
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,040
And you know, Jesus addresses
this.
73
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,000
And I I really wanted to give
homage to this particular
74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
subject because there's a lot
you can say about the heathen.
75
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,200
And I'm going to read a little
bit from paper 155 about fleeing
76
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200
through North Northern Galilee
and what was going on at the
77
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,840
time.
And I started reading the before
78
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,040
paper 155.
I went to paper 153 because the
79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,320
1:55 is a result of what was
happening in one.
80
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,880
In paper 153 and 153 talks about
the time.
81
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Do you remember the story of
when Jesus fed the 5000 people?
82
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Remember when he miraculously
handed out these baskets and had
83
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,880
unlimited fish And there was a
whole lot of stuff going on at
84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,960
that time.
The the rise, it was the 3rd or
85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600
the end of the third preaching
tour and Jesus started to become
86
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,960
popular and and crowds were
going out to watch him.
87
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,320
He's just like when crowds go
out to watch Taylor Swift,
88
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,000
right?
You know what, back in those
89
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,240
days, you know, a man, a
preacher, a man who spoke truth,
90
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,040
the man who would speak before,
you know, hundreds or dozens of
91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680
people and they would all fall
in love with this guy.
92
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,680
He was just an attractive man in
in the greatest sense.
93
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,920
And why not?
He was the son of God.
94
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,360
I mean, he was sent here to do
what he's doing.
95
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,960
And he's out there preaching and
teaching and he's got his 12
96
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,320
apostles and he's got an
evangelical corps and and he is
97
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,960
really becoming something in
this time.
98
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,400
But it created a crisis in a
way.
99
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560
And there were events that
happened as a consequence to the
100
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,560
feeding of the 5000.
So if you remember a few days
101
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,960
before what I'm about to discuss
about the heathen, Jesus had
102
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,040
just fed the 5000 and he did
through a a a real miracle.
103
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,240
He was somehow, through the
power of being a creator's son,
104
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,680
he was able to accelerate time
in taking the bread and the fish
105
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,280
and somehow circumventing time
to produce what was inherently
106
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:33,680
possible in his bread and in the
fish.
107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,760
Now, how he did that, you can
read about in the Orancha book.
108
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,400
But Needless to say, it was this
act that started to concern the
109
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,880
religious leaders of the day.
And so I want to read a little
110
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,240
bit from that particular paper.
153 says Jesus endeavored to
111
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,840
prepare the apostles for the
impending shock, the crisis in
112
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:57,240
the public attitude toward him,
which was only a few days
113
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080
distant.
And he explained to the 12 that
114
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560
the religious rulers of
Jerusalem would conspire with
115
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Herod Antipas to affect their
destruction.
116
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,480
The 12 began to realize more
fully, though not finally, that
117
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Jesus was not going to sit on
David's throne.
118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,520
This is was not going to be an
endeavor where this rising
119
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440
popular figure was going to take
over and fulfill the prophecy
120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080
right.
And the the apostles started to
121
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
realize there was some angst.
Because you know, usually when
122
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,280
you people are fickle, you know
it's not an accident that the
123
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,760
very people that were clamoring
and celebrating the master and
124
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480
the feeding 5000 and they wanted
to make him a king.
125
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Many were in the same audience
where they were crying free.
126
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720
Barabbas people are fickle human
beings.
127
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880
That's a characteristic that
human beings have.
128
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,960
And the apostles of Jesus were
fully coming to the awareness of
129
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600
the spiritual truth was not
going to be advanced by material
130
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680
wonders.
Feeding 5000 people wasn't going
131
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
to change much.
It might appease some people,
132
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800
but they began to realize that
the feeding of the 5000 and the
133
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,640
popular movement to make Jesus
King was the apex of the miracle
134
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,040
seeking, wonder, working
expectants of the people, and
135
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,800
the height of Jesus's acclaim by
the populace.
136
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,880
From here on it heads downward
and they start to work against
137
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,640
him.
And these apostles only vaguely
138
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,000
discerned and dimly foresaw the
approaching times of spiritual
139
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,120
sifting and cruel adversity.
And so I want to interject
140
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,039
Psalms 2.
This is where we get the quote.
141
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,400
Why do the heathen rage?
And it and it says from from the
142
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,440
Bible, why did the heathen rage
And the people imagine a vain
143
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,000
thing.
The kings of the earth set
144
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,560
themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together and against the
145
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,760
Lord and against His anointed,
saying, let us break their bands
146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,360
asunder and castaway their cords
from us He that sitteth in the
147
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,000
heavens shall laugh.
The Lord shall have them in
148
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,120
derision.
And so now we move on to paper.
149
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,480
I want you to remember that
quote because Jesus uses that
150
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,160
quote to illustrate his point of
what is about to happen.
151
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,560
And it's and it's very relative
to what's happening today in
152
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,480
society, The rejection of faith,
the rejection of religion, the
153
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,240
rejection of of anything that
doesn't have to do with
154
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,760
materialism really, but it at
its essence, at its core, it's
155
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,880
the same thing today that the
apostles and Jesus were going
156
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,920
through then as they were going
about spreading truth.
157
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,040
They were a threat to the norm.
They were a threat to the
158
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
religious authority.
They were a threat to the Roman
159
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,320
authority.
So it reads from Paper 155.
160
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,960
Before retiring for the night,
the Master called his followers
161
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,440
around him and discussed with
them the plans for their
162
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,600
projected tour through Botania
and northern Galilee to the
163
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Phoenician coast.
Why do the heathen rage?
164
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,680
And Jesus said, You should all
recall how the psalmist spoke of
165
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,680
these times, saying, Why do the
heathen rage and the people plot
166
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,960
in vain?
The kings of the earth set
167
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,160
themselves and the rulers of the
people take counsel together
168
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,360
against the Lord and against His
anointed, saying, let us break
169
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,440
the bonds of mercy asunder and
let us castaway the cords of
170
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
love.
Do you see that that's happening
171
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640
today?
Materialism, some sort of
172
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760
exalted humanism and it breaks
the bound.
173
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,560
People don't believe in faith
anymore, do they?
174
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,200
They don't.
You know, in many, many ways
175
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,600
it's almost as as as it has
nothing to do with anything.
176
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,400
And the the kings of the earth
set themselves and the rulers of
177
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,800
the people get together and they
push out faith and anything to
178
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,680
do with God.
You heard it the other day when
179
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,120
they were talking about that
people that were believe that
180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720
their rights and their free will
came from God were, you know,
181
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,520
being considered as problematic.
Jesus goes on to say today you
182
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400
see fulfilled before your eyes,
but you shall not see the
183
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800
remainder of the Psalmist
prophecy fulfilled, for he
184
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,320
entertained erroneous ideas
about the Son of Man and his
185
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760
mission on earth.
My Kingdom is founded on love,
186
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,280
proclaimed in mercy and
established by unselfish
187
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,840
service.
My Father does not sit in heaven
188
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,160
laughing in derision at the
heathen.
189
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360
He is not wrathful in his great
displeasure.
190
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:34,040
True is the promise that the Son
shall have so-called heathen in
191
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,480
reality his ignorant and
untaught brethren for an
192
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080
inheritance.
So Christ is identifying there
193
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
that you know I have to deal
with these people too, that
194
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,160
reject me.
They're part of my family,
195
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
they're my children.
And he goes on to say, I will
196
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,520
receive these Gentiles with an
open arm of mercy and affection,
197
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,040
regardless of how silly they
are.
198
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Really.
All this loving kindness shall
199
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,320
be shown the so-called heathen,
notwithstanding the unfortunate
200
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280
declaration of the record, which
intimates that the triumphant
201
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Son quote, shall break them with
a rod of iron and dash them to
202
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
pieces like a Potter's vessel.
End Quote.
203
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Jesus says the psalmist exhorted
you to serve the Lord with fear.
204
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,480
I bid you to enter into the
exalted privilege of divine
205
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,440
sonship.
By faith he commands you to
206
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,320
rejoice.
With trembling I bid you
207
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,880
rejoice.
With assurance.
208
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,560
He says, kiss the Son, lest he
be angry, and you perish with
209
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,040
His wrath.
His when His wrath is kindled.
210
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,440
And I emphasize this point
because it's such a great point,
211
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,320
But you have lived with me, and
you know that anger and wrath
212
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,560
are not a part of the
establishment of the Kingdom of
213
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,520
heaven and the hearts of men.
But he says the psalmist did
214
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,160
glimpse the true light when in
finishing his exhortation, he
215
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,960
said blessed are they who put
their trust in the sun.
216
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400
And I'll be honest with you that
for a while.
217
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400
And I go through periods where
I'm really disconcerted about
218
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,560
the way of the world.
But I'm always rejoicing and I
219
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,040
always get refreshed when I
think about that.
220
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,040
This man was real and he knows
about this and he is the creator
221
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,080
son.
And I put full confidence in
222
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,200
what he says.
And this is where it gets really
223
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,720
important, because this is where
Jesus actually takes on the
224
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,680
heathen, whether it's in his age
or in our age.
225
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,520
And I want you to think about
the heathen as a particular
226
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,160
group of people and what they
have planned for us in the new
227
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
world Order for whatever you
want to call it.
228
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,000
He says Jesus continued to teach
the 24 his apostles and the
229
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,480
evangel quote.
The heathen are not without
230
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
excuse.
When they rage at us because
231
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
their outlook is small and
narrow, they're able to
232
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120
concentrate their energies
enthusiastically.
233
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Think about what he's saying,
that they and their mission,
234
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,960
whatever their mission is, is
small and narrow, finite.
235
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,680
So they can put all their
energy, all their resources, all
236
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:07,320
their lobbying, all of their
pressure, they can put it all
237
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640
into what they want, he says.
Their goal is near and more or
238
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400
less visible.
Where for do they strive with
239
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,280
valiant and effective execution?
You who have professed entrance
240
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,560
into the Kingdom of heaven are
altogether too facilitating and
241
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680
indefinite in your teaching
conduct.
242
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,480
And I know this is true for me.
I'm, I'm, I'm always, hey, let
243
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,360
them go on their merry way.
They're not going to get
244
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,240
anything from.
I'm not going to spare any truth
245
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240
on them.
It's going to be like, what's
246
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,680
that expression?
You know, this pearls before
247
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,880
swine?
It's sort of a spiritual
248
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
arrogance, right?
I'm not even interested in
249
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,640
saving them.
Why would I want to engage in
250
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880
somebody who's already told me
they don't believe in God?
251
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,640
Why would I want to waste my
time?
252
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Jesus says he goes the heathen
strike directly for their
253
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,600
objectives.
You are guilty of too much
254
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
chronic yearning.
If you desire to enter the
255
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Kingdom, why do you not take it
by spiritual assault?
256
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,920
Even as the heathen takes a city
they lay sage to, they lay siege
257
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,840
to.
You are hardly worthy of the
258
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Kingdom when your service
consists so largely in an
259
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,480
attitude of regretting the past,
whining over the present, and
260
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240
vainly hoping for the future.
Why do the heathen rage?
261
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,760
Because they know not the truth.
Why do you languish in feudal
262
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,160
yearning?
Because you do not obey the
263
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,480
truth.
Cease your useless yearning and
264
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,600
go forth bravely doing that
which concerns the establishment
265
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,880
of of the Kingdom.
And those are the words of
266
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Jesus.
Quote in all that you do.
267
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Become not one sided and over
specialized The Pharisees who
268
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,280
seek our destruction think they
are doing God's service.
269
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,000
They've become so narrowed by
tradition that they are blinded
270
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
by prejudice and burdened by
fear.
271
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,800
Let me emphatically state this
eternal truth.
272
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,440
If you by truth coordination
learn to exemplify in your lives
273
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,360
this beautiful wholeness of
righteousness, your fellow men
274
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,360
will then seek after you, that
they may gain what you have so
275
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
acquired.
And so I take that to me.
276
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,240
And when you have that
confidence, I heard one somebody
277
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,120
told me, confidence attracts
arrogance, repels.
278
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,840
The measure where with true
seekers are drawn to you
279
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240
represents the measure of your
truth, endowment, your
280
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,920
righteousness.
The extent to which you have to
281
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,320
go through with your message to
the people is in a way the
282
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,960
measure of your failure to live
the whole or righteous life, the
283
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,280
truth coordinated life.
And I really wanted to share
284
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,800
that message with you, because
that's such an important message
285
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,280
coming from the master himself.
But today we can see that the
286
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,240
heathen rage, making people who
are faithful and portraying them
287
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,680
as unsophisticated, going after
people who are trying to protect
288
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
the unborn.
Sexualizing children because
289
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880
they abide not in the truth but
in fetishism.
290
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,200
Asserting that there is no God,
that there is only science, or
291
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,280
that there's only that which can
be observed.
292
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Killing people because they
believe in God or Christ or any
293
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760
religion, Killing any, any
person because of who they
294
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280
believe in is wrong.
Killing people because
295
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,280
governments are atheistic and
religion is illegal, only
296
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,960
subservient to the state.
There are so many governments
297
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,160
now that kill or arrest people
because they have a Bible or
298
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480
because they profess faith in a
number of different religions,
299
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,280
not just about Christians.
Demonizing people who love
300
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,000
marriage and raising children
and think that that's an
301
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,080
important part of society.
And they're now being portrayed
302
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,160
as patriarchal and misogynistic
negative connotations, large
303
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,480
corporations and governments who
enforce medicine as a treatment
304
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,920
for depression and emotional
discomfort and playing down the
305
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,480
efficacy of prayer, worship,
service, family, community,
306
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,600
riots in the streets are allowed
where people are are wanting
307
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040
license without restraint, and
who seek retribution for
308
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,440
ancestral grievances and do not
serve their brothers and
309
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,360
sisters.
And then you've got cartels run
310
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,600
by people who are Catholic, who
purposefully destroy human life
311
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,840
by peddling addiction.
Yes, their purpose is 1 sided
312
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,280
and singular.
They love prophets and in power
313
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,720
more than they love humanity.
And it isn't just limited to
314
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,440
cartels.
Many influential corporate
315
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,160
leaders behave the same way.
So now we understand why the
316
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800
heathen are sometimes more
victorious.
317
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Jesus is asking us to take the
hill with a spiritual assault.
318
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,040
That doesn't mean violence.
It means having spiritual
319
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,320
conviction, acting upon them and
defending them.
320
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,640
And that's about as preachy as
I'll ever get.
321
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,120
But that's that's the emotional
stirring of my soul when I read
322
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,440
about this and I just wanted to

00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,080
Welcome to the Urantia Radio
Podcast.
2
00:00:02,080 --> 00:00:05,640
My name is Jim Watkins and the
name of this podcast is called
3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Why Do the Heathen Rage?
So we're going to get into Jesus
4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,760
went through during a very
tumultuous period in his life
5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,520
with his apostles and what we're
going through.
6
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,360
And they're very similar, more
similar than you think.
7
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:22,920
And it explains a lot of the
behavior that's going on in the
8
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,440
world today.
Now, I also like to take a few
9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080
moments in the introduction to
tell you if there's some
10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,440
significant events coming up in
the Urantia community.
11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,240
So if you have a significant
event that you would like to
12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,400
promote, send it to me at
urantiabookradio@gmail.com.
13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,480
But do me a favor, promote what
we're doing here.
14
00:00:42,480 --> 00:00:45,400
We're trying to grow at the
podcast because we're trying to
15
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,600
grow awareness of the 5th epical
revelation.
16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:49,880
The best way to get a hold of
me?

you'll find everything you need
24
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,120
about this upcoming Spotlight
series in a second.
25
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:25,720
Why do the heathen rage?
Good question, isn't it?
26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,880
Let's find out what Jesus had to
say about it.
27
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Well, it's really nice to have
you back here for another
28
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,560
edition of the The Ranch Radio
podcast.
29
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,120
And today we're going to talk
about something that I've
30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,680
thought about often and and
there's a reason that I called
31
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,480
this episode, the the heathen
are raging.
32
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,960
And the reason that the heathen
are raging are plenty, no
33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,000
question about that.
But I think, I think it is often
34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,160
when I see the amount of
confusion that's going on in the
35
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,520
world and there's no doubt a lot
of people are anxious, very
36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
anxious.
Even my son was commenting about
37
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,480
how everywhere he goes, people
are just really caught up in all
38
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,600
that's going on.
And I can certainly detect that
39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,160
when I have people on the
program.
40
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,400
And if you've noticed in the
last couple of episodes,
41
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,200
everybody is really concerned
about what's happening.
42
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,720
There's there's no question.
I know in my mind and in your
43
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240
mind that the earth is going
through a transition.
44
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,080
And the way that I explained it
to my son was that, you know, up
45
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:50,480
until most recently, things in
life took a long time to change.
46
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,880
It wasn't really until, say, the
discovery of certain principles
47
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,720
like, you know, steam power and
electricity that things started
48
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,120
to accelerate.
Just like right after the Guten,
49
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:06,080
the Gutenberg press and people
started being able to read,
50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,840
things started to develop.
Well, now the ship is out of the
51
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,280
harbor and the Urantia Book
among you know, I'm not not only
52
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,240
the Urantia book, but every
anything right now will tell you
53
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:23,240
that the thing, the rate at
which there is change is very
54
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,800
unsettling.
And they talk about this in
55
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,720
paper 195 of the Urantia book
where they talk about the future
56
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,400
and it's natural to feel
anxious.
57
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:37,200
So let's all take a a breath and
understand that yes, we are a
58
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,040
part of a particular inflection
point in history, but not as all
59
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:43,880
lost.
You know, we will get through
60
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:45,280
this.
We've gotten through a lot
61
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,320
worse.
I'm sure that it was a lot
62
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:51,600
harder to live as a Sangick as
it is to live as a as an
63
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,640
American, you know.
But nevertheless, there are
64
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,640
forces at work that are creating
a lot of the tension in the
65
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:03,960
world, and most of it has to do
with power and people who are
66
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,400
arrogant and they just want to
be in control.
67
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,800
Other people want to be left
alone, but they're also
68
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,040
underlying forces.
And I do believe that we are in
69
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,920
an ideological struggle.
I absolutely believe that.
70
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:20,399
And it is between materialism
and faith.
71
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,240
And and when is it has have
hasn't been that.
72
00:04:23,280 --> 00:04:26,040
And you know, Jesus addresses
this.
73
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,000
And I I really wanted to give
homage to this particular
74
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,200
subject because there's a lot
you can say about the heathen.
75
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:39,200
And I'm going to read a little
bit from paper 155 about fleeing
76
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,200
through North Northern Galilee
and what was going on at the
77
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,840
time.
And I started reading the before
78
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:51,040
paper 155.
I went to paper 153 because the
79
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,320
1:55 is a result of what was
happening in one.
80
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,880
In paper 153 and 153 talks about
the time.
81
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Do you remember the story of
when Jesus fed the 5000 people?
82
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Remember when he miraculously
handed out these baskets and had
83
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,880
unlimited fish And there was a
whole lot of stuff going on at
84
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,960
that time.
The the rise, it was the 3rd or
85
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,600
the end of the third preaching
tour and Jesus started to become
86
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,960
popular and and crowds were
going out to watch him.
87
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,320
He's just like when crowds go
out to watch Taylor Swift,
88
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,000
right?
You know what, back in those
89
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,240
days, you know, a man, a
preacher, a man who spoke truth,
90
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,040
the man who would speak before,
you know, hundreds or dozens of
91
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680
people and they would all fall
in love with this guy.
92
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,680
He was just an attractive man in
in the greatest sense.
93
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,920
And why not?
He was the son of God.
94
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,360
I mean, he was sent here to do
what he's doing.
95
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,960
And he's out there preaching and
teaching and he's got his 12
96
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:56,320
apostles and he's got an
evangelical corps and and he is
97
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,960
really becoming something in
this time.
98
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:02,400
But it created a crisis in a
way.
99
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,560
And there were events that
happened as a consequence to the
100
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,560
feeding of the 5000.
So if you remember a few days
101
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,960
before what I'm about to discuss
about the heathen, Jesus had
102
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:18,040
just fed the 5000 and he did
through a a a real miracle.
103
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,240
He was somehow, through the
power of being a creator's son,
104
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,680
he was able to accelerate time
in taking the bread and the fish
105
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:30,280
and somehow circumventing time
to produce what was inherently
106
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:33,680
possible in his bread and in the
fish.
107
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,760
Now, how he did that, you can
read about in the Orancha book.
108
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,400
But Needless to say, it was this
act that started to concern the
109
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,880
religious leaders of the day.
And so I want to read a little
110
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,240
bit from that particular paper.
153 says Jesus endeavored to
111
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,840
prepare the apostles for the
impending shock, the crisis in
112
00:06:53,840 --> 00:06:57,240
the public attitude toward him,
which was only a few days
113
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,080
distant.
And he explained to the 12 that
114
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,560
the religious rulers of
Jerusalem would conspire with
115
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,360
Herod Antipas to affect their
destruction.
116
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:12,480
The 12 began to realize more
fully, though not finally, that
117
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,200
Jesus was not going to sit on
David's throne.
118
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,520
This is was not going to be an
endeavor where this rising
119
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:23,440
popular figure was going to take
over and fulfill the prophecy
120
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,080
right.
And the the apostles started to
121
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,360
realize there was some angst.
Because you know, usually when
122
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:33,280
you people are fickle, you know
it's not an accident that the
123
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:37,760
very people that were clamoring
and celebrating the master and
124
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,480
the feeding 5000 and they wanted
to make him a king.
125
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,080
Many were in the same audience
where they were crying free.
126
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,720
Barabbas people are fickle human
beings.
127
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,880
That's a characteristic that
human beings have.
128
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,960
And the apostles of Jesus were
fully coming to the awareness of
129
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,600
the spiritual truth was not
going to be advanced by material
130
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,680
wonders.
Feeding 5000 people wasn't going
131
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,200
to change much.
It might appease some people,
132
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,800
but they began to realize that
the feeding of the 5000 and the
133
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:12,640
popular movement to make Jesus
King was the apex of the miracle
134
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,040
seeking, wonder, working
expectants of the people, and
135
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,800
the height of Jesus's acclaim by
the populace.
136
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,880
From here on it heads downward
and they start to work against
137
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,640
him.
And these apostles only vaguely
138
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,000
discerned and dimly foresaw the
approaching times of spiritual
139
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,120
sifting and cruel adversity.
And so I want to interject
140
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,039
Psalms 2.
This is where we get the quote.
141
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:40,400
Why do the heathen rage?
And it and it says from from the
142
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,440
Bible, why did the heathen rage
And the people imagine a vain
143
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,000
thing.
The kings of the earth set
144
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,560
themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together and against the
145
00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:54,760
Lord and against His anointed,
saying, let us break their bands
146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,360
asunder and castaway their cords
from us He that sitteth in the
147
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,000
heavens shall laugh.
The Lord shall have them in
148
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:06,120
derision.
And so now we move on to paper.
149
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,480
I want you to remember that
quote because Jesus uses that
150
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,160
quote to illustrate his point of
what is about to happen.
151
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,560
And it's and it's very relative
to what's happening today in
152
00:09:17,560 --> 00:09:21,480
society, The rejection of faith,
the rejection of religion, the
153
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,240
rejection of of anything that
doesn't have to do with
154
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:29,760
materialism really, but it at
its essence, at its core, it's
155
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,880
the same thing today that the
apostles and Jesus were going
156
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,920
through then as they were going
about spreading truth.
157
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:40,040
They were a threat to the norm.
They were a threat to the
158
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
religious authority.
They were a threat to the Roman
159
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,320
authority.
So it reads from Paper 155.
160
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:49,960
Before retiring for the night,
the Master called his followers
161
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,440
around him and discussed with
them the plans for their
162
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,600
projected tour through Botania
and northern Galilee to the
163
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:00,400
Phoenician coast.
Why do the heathen rage?
164
00:10:00,560 --> 00:10:04,680
And Jesus said, You should all
recall how the psalmist spoke of
165
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:08,680
these times, saying, Why do the
heathen rage and the people plot
166
00:10:08,680 --> 00:10:10,960
in vain?
The kings of the earth set
167
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,160
themselves and the rulers of the
people take counsel together
168
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,360
against the Lord and against His
anointed, saying, let us break
169
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,440
the bonds of mercy asunder and
let us castaway the cords of
170
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,160
love.
Do you see that that's happening
171
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640
today?
Materialism, some sort of
172
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760
exalted humanism and it breaks
the bound.
173
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,560
People don't believe in faith
anymore, do they?
174
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,200
They don't.
You know, in many, many ways
175
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,600
it's almost as as as it has
nothing to do with anything.
176
00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:45,400
And the the kings of the earth
set themselves and the rulers of
177
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:49,800
the people get together and they
push out faith and anything to
178
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,680
do with God.
You heard it the other day when
179
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:55,120
they were talking about that
people that were believe that
180
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,720
their rights and their free will
came from God were, you know,
181
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:03,520
being considered as problematic.
Jesus goes on to say today you
182
00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:06,400
see fulfilled before your eyes,
but you shall not see the
183
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,800
remainder of the Psalmist
prophecy fulfilled, for he
184
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,320
entertained erroneous ideas
about the Son of Man and his
185
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,760
mission on earth.
My Kingdom is founded on love,
186
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,280
proclaimed in mercy and
established by unselfish
187
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,840
service.
My Father does not sit in heaven
188
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,160
laughing in derision at the
heathen.
189
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,360
He is not wrathful in his great
displeasure.
190
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:34,040
True is the promise that the Son
shall have so-called heathen in
191
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,480
reality his ignorant and
untaught brethren for an
192
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,080
inheritance.
So Christ is identifying there
193
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,600
that you know I have to deal
with these people too, that
194
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,160
reject me.
They're part of my family,
195
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,080
they're my children.
And he goes on to say, I will
196
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,520
receive these Gentiles with an
open arm of mercy and affection,
197
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,040
regardless of how silly they
are.
198
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,240
Really.
All this loving kindness shall
199
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:01,320
be shown the so-called heathen,
notwithstanding the unfortunate
200
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,280
declaration of the record, which
intimates that the triumphant
201
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:10,280
Son quote, shall break them with
a rod of iron and dash them to
202
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,760
pieces like a Potter's vessel.
End Quote.
203
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,440
Jesus says the psalmist exhorted
you to serve the Lord with fear.
204
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:21,480
I bid you to enter into the
exalted privilege of divine
205
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:24,440
sonship.
By faith he commands you to
206
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,320
rejoice.
With trembling I bid you
207
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:28,880
rejoice.
With assurance.
208
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,560
He says, kiss the Son, lest he
be angry, and you perish with
209
00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:36,040
His wrath.
His when His wrath is kindled.
210
00:12:36,680 --> 00:12:39,440
And I emphasize this point
because it's such a great point,
211
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:43,320
But you have lived with me, and
you know that anger and wrath
212
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,560
are not a part of the
establishment of the Kingdom of
213
00:12:46,560 --> 00:12:49,520
heaven and the hearts of men.
But he says the psalmist did
214
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:54,160
glimpse the true light when in
finishing his exhortation, he
215
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,960
said blessed are they who put
their trust in the sun.
216
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,400
And I'll be honest with you that
for a while.
217
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,400
And I go through periods where
I'm really disconcerted about
218
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,560
the way of the world.
But I'm always rejoicing and I
219
00:13:07,560 --> 00:13:11,040
always get refreshed when I
think about that.
220
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,040
This man was real and he knows
about this and he is the creator
221
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,080
son.
And I put full confidence in
222
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,200
what he says.
And this is where it gets really
223
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,720
important, because this is where
Jesus actually takes on the
224
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,680
heathen, whether it's in his age
or in our age.
225
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,520
And I want you to think about
the heathen as a particular
226
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:34,160
group of people and what they
have planned for us in the new
227
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
world Order for whatever you
want to call it.
228
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:41,000
He says Jesus continued to teach
the 24 his apostles and the
229
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,480
evangel quote.
The heathen are not without
230
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,120
excuse.
When they rage at us because
231
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,120
their outlook is small and
narrow, they're able to
232
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,120
concentrate their energies
enthusiastically.
233
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Think about what he's saying,
that they and their mission,
234
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,960
whatever their mission is, is
small and narrow, finite.
235
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:03,680
So they can put all their
energy, all their resources, all
236
00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:07,320
their lobbying, all of their
pressure, they can put it all
237
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:10,640
into what they want, he says.
Their goal is near and more or
238
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,400
less visible.
Where for do they strive with
239
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:18,280
valiant and effective execution?
You who have professed entrance
240
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,560
into the Kingdom of heaven are
altogether too facilitating and
241
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,680
indefinite in your teaching
conduct.
242
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,480
And I know this is true for me.
I'm, I'm, I'm always, hey, let
243
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,360
them go on their merry way.
They're not going to get
244
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,240
anything from.
I'm not going to spare any truth
245
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,240
on them.
It's going to be like, what's
246
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,680
that expression?
You know, this pearls before
247
00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:40,880
swine?
It's sort of a spiritual
248
00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:43,200
arrogance, right?
I'm not even interested in
249
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,640
saving them.
Why would I want to engage in
250
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,880
somebody who's already told me
they don't believe in God?
251
00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:49,640
Why would I want to waste my
time?
252
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,960
Jesus says he goes the heathen
strike directly for their
253
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,600
objectives.
You are guilty of too much
254
00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,400
chronic yearning.
If you desire to enter the
255
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,840
Kingdom, why do you not take it
by spiritual assault?
256
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:06,920
Even as the heathen takes a city
they lay sage to, they lay siege
257
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:08,840
to.
You are hardly worthy of the
258
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:12,560
Kingdom when your service
consists so largely in an
259
00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:16,480
attitude of regretting the past,
whining over the present, and
260
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,240
vainly hoping for the future.
Why do the heathen rage?
261
00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:24,760
Because they know not the truth.
Why do you languish in feudal
262
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,160
yearning?
Because you do not obey the
263
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:31,480
truth.
Cease your useless yearning and
264
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,600
go forth bravely doing that
which concerns the establishment
265
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,880
of of the Kingdom.
And those are the words of
266
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,240
Jesus.
Quote in all that you do.
267
00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:44,440
Become not one sided and over
specialized The Pharisees who
268
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,280
seek our destruction think they
are doing God's service.
269
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:51,000
They've become so narrowed by
tradition that they are blinded
270
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,440
by prejudice and burdened by
fear.
271
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,800
Let me emphatically state this
eternal truth.
272
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:02,440
If you by truth coordination
learn to exemplify in your lives
273
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,360
this beautiful wholeness of
righteousness, your fellow men
274
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,360
will then seek after you, that
they may gain what you have so
275
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:12,440
acquired.
And so I take that to me.
276
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,240
And when you have that
confidence, I heard one somebody
277
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:19,120
told me, confidence attracts
arrogance, repels.
278
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,840
The measure where with true
seekers are drawn to you
279
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,240
represents the measure of your
truth, endowment, your
280
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,920
righteousness.
The extent to which you have to
281
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:31,320
go through with your message to
the people is in a way the
282
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:35,960
measure of your failure to live
the whole or righteous life, the
283
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,280
truth coordinated life.
And I really wanted to share
284
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,800
that message with you, because
that's such an important message
285
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,280
coming from the master himself.
But today we can see that the
286
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,240
heathen rage, making people who
are faithful and portraying them
287
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,680
as unsophisticated, going after
people who are trying to protect
288
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:56,840
the unborn.
Sexualizing children because
289
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,880
they abide not in the truth but
in fetishism.
290
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,200
Asserting that there is no God,
that there is only science, or
291
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,280
that there's only that which can
be observed.
292
00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,800
Killing people because they
believe in God or Christ or any
293
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,760
religion, Killing any, any
person because of who they
294
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,280
believe in is wrong.
Killing people because
295
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,280
governments are atheistic and
religion is illegal, only
296
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,960
subservient to the state.
There are so many governments
297
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,160
now that kill or arrest people
because they have a Bible or
298
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,480
because they profess faith in a
number of different religions,
299
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,280
not just about Christians.
Demonizing people who love
300
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,000
marriage and raising children
and think that that's an
301
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,080
important part of society.
And they're now being portrayed
302
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:45,160
as patriarchal and misogynistic
negative connotations, large
303
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,480
corporations and governments who
enforce medicine as a treatment
304
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:52,920
for depression and emotional
discomfort and playing down the
305
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:57,480
efficacy of prayer, worship,
service, family, community,
306
00:17:58,360 --> 00:18:02,600
riots in the streets are allowed
where people are are wanting
307
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,040
license without restraint, and
who seek retribution for
308
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,440
ancestral grievances and do not
serve their brothers and
309
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,360
sisters.
And then you've got cartels run
310
00:18:12,360 --> 00:18:16,600
by people who are Catholic, who
purposefully destroy human life
311
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,840
by peddling addiction.
Yes, their purpose is 1 sided
312
00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,280
and singular.
They love prophets and in power
313
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,720
more than they love humanity.
And it isn't just limited to
314
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,440
cartels.
Many influential corporate
315
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:33,160
leaders behave the same way.
So now we understand why the
316
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:35,800
heathen are sometimes more
victorious.
317
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,520
Jesus is asking us to take the
hill with a spiritual assault.
318
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,040
That doesn't mean violence.
It means having spiritual
319
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,320
conviction, acting upon them and
defending them.
320
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,640
And that's about as preachy as
I'll ever get.
321
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,120
But that's that's the emotional
stirring of my soul when I read
322
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,440
about this and I just wanted to
share with you.
323
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,040
And I promised I would.
And there you have it, Another,
324
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,920
another show in the can, as they
say, well, listen, it's been so

00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,880

Urantia community that have been
330
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,000

to be at the the upcoming share

downloads, numbers of people who
339
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,240
are listening to this program,
they're growing pretty
340
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,280
significantly.
