What's The Deal Jesus
Lessons from Easter, plus a heartfelt look at the history Truth on our world, including ideas about The Second Coming and what we might expect when it happens.
We also have a great selection of social media sound clips we can discuss from the perspective of a Urantia Book reader (me), touch-love concepts about how humanity treats the teachers of truth.
We dedicate this episode to Jesus, the reason for the season.
1
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:24,850
Couple of footnotes before we
begin here on the Rancho Radio
2
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:28,410
podcast where we talk about the
fifth epical revelation.
3
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:31,730
The revelation.
I got a an e-mail from someone
4
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:35,200
saying I'm not saying it right.
Why we say the epical
5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,840
revelation?
I like the word epical.
6
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,560
I don't like the word epochal.
I've asked people, hey, is it
7
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360
epical or epochal?
It's just a matter of
8
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,080
preference.
It's like some people say
9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,640
nephilim, I say I say Nephilim,
other people say Nephilim, some
10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,720
people say norlichedek, others
say Norlitiadek.
11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,280
I guess it's just a matter of
preference, but I always
12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,200
appreciate the e-mail and we do
have a lot of good e-mail, a
13
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,200
good listener e-mail that I'll
go to some of these great
14
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,560
questions.
And you can always send me an
15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600
e-mail if you have a question
about the Urantia book.
16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920
And if I don't have the answer,
I'll find it.
17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,680
And that's easy.
urantiabookradio@gmail.com.
18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
So thank you.
We've got some interesting sound
19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,200
clips.
It's also the week of Easter,
20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,560
which we celebrate the birth and
the resurrection and the life of
21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Christ.
So we'll spend a little bit of
22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760
time on all of this.
I read, I was reading through
23
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,440
the week, the last days of
Jesus's life.
24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,120
And I just finished reading the
Last Supper and it's, it's a
25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,000
really, it's worth going back to
and reading and learning some
26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800
lessons, some very important key
lessons that have been lost in
27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,520
time.
And chief among them, just
28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,560
briefly, because it is Easter
week and we do celebrate the the
29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,400
promise kept.
And one of the passages
30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720
curiously, was that the
formality of the Last Supper is
31
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,880
pretty much time honored and
celebrated across all the major
32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,360
Christian faiths.
There's no question the Last
33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Supper is is practiced almost to
a what they call a mathematical
34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,320
precision.
And it was exactly the opposite
35
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,520
that the Urantia book revelators
tell us of why Jesus wanted to
36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,760
have this Last Supper with his
12 apostles.
37
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,400
And I had forgotten that he
wanted to dispel of all
38
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
formality when it came to
religious practice.
39
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560
And I understand why he, he
chose that path because he
40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,720
ultimately wanted religion to be
a natural part of your life, not
41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
something separate or in
addition to or separate from.
42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040
But the, the whole idea of
living in the spiritual Kingdom
43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
is that you accept your
citizenship, you accept your
44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,040
sonship, and then you go about
living your life in this new
45
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960
paradigm.
And that's what Jesus always
46
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,040
taught that religion, for
example, if you're a vegan, if
47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,000
you're a vegan, it, it's a
natural part of your lifestyle
48
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,520
to just not eat meat.
And when you're, when you're a
49
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120
person of religious faith, you
go about your life living as a
50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
person of faith and you have a
better hopefully understanding
51
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
of things that are going on
around you.
52
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,200
The relationships that you have
are, are based on loyalty,
53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
fidelity, trust.
And these are things that come
54
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,960
about because of the moral
nature.
55
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720
The morality and spirituality
are are very intertwined. 1
56
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
tends to produce the
characteristics of morality and
57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,680
morality helps you to appreciate
spirituality in all of its
58
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280
forms.
So in in doing the Last Supper,
59
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
he said, Remember Me breaking
the bread, Remember Me drinking
60
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680
the wine.
And it was intended.
61
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,079
And when I had forgotten this to
Freeman from the the symbols and
62
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,360
the rituals.
And it's sad that the exact
63
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,920
opposite happened because now
we've formalized and
64
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,720
crystallized the Last Supper
into a ceremony when Jesus's
65
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,920
intent was to have a special
occasion for his apostles.
66
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Remember Me?
So it's just a a bit of irony,
67
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,280
but let me get to some of the
listeners.
68
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,520
Then we'll get to some of the
interesting sound.
69
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000
I've got some great e-mail.
This one gentleman emailed me
70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,720
last night and I hope I got it.
I think it's over here.
71
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,280
And he talks about how in paper
57 and you know, everybody's
72
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,960
kind of focusing on the moon
right now with the Artemis and
73
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,200
the Orion and all the crew
members.
74
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Very exciting times, no
question.
75
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,200
And so because we're all
focusing on the moon, this one
76
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,760
listener wrote me, he's a
relatively new reader, 32 year
77
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480
old.
And he says to me, you know, I,
78
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,600
I'm not reconciled on an
explanation about the moon and
79
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,160
the earth.
And, and he says we've been
80
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,520
taught and science tells us that
the moon actually broke off and
81
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,600
was at one point a part of the
earth and that it doesn't jive
82
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,600
with, with the fact that it has,
I think he said a rotation.
83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,360
And of course, you know, as I
try to find the, the e-mail, I
84
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,480
can't because I don't want to
miss the essence of what he oh,
85
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,840
here it is from Lucas.
He writes, he writes the Urantia
86
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,120
book describes the moon as
forming from the earth, spinning
87
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,800
so rapidly that material was
ejected and eventually became
88
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
the moon rather than forming
from a collision.
89
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,120
And he quotes paper 57, six
paragraph two.
90
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
He says, however, from what I
understand, very few celestial
91
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400
bodies are capable of spinning
at that rate, especially
92
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,400
something the size of any Earth.
Given that early Earth would
93
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,280
have been mostly molten and
unstable, it seems more likely
94
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,280
that it would have been.
It would have been disrupted
95
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:28,200
entirely by centrifugal force
rather than ejecting a single
96
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,160
coherent mass.
And then he says, do you have
97
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
any thoughts on this?
How do I reconcile this?
98
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Well, it's in the details.
See, the Urantia book is very
99
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,560
clear about some things that it
can disclose because of its
100
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,800
mandate.
And so sometimes what you think
101
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880
that you read is not actually
what you read.
102
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,480
For example, there's a lot of
controversy over the fact that
103
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200
there's a paragraph in that same
section where it talks about how
104
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Mercury and the Moon both are
always faced towards the same
105
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,080
side toward the the either the
Earth or the Sun.
106
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,400
However, it doesn't actually say
that.
107
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,280
It's tricky and if I have time
I'll explain it, but to Lucas's
108
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,600
point, the Urantia book doesn't
say that Earth and the moon were
109
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,960
part of the same globular
coherent mass that ejected from
110
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,040
the sun.
In fact, it only references that
111
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,560
the planets came the that they
were a result of the Angonas
112
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,800
system that was drawing off of
the material of the sun and some
113
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640
of it had is had escaped its
gravitational pull.
114
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,160
And those the collections of
early solar mass eventually
115
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,080
became what was then the 12
planets.
116
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,560
And I would assume that that
includes also the material that
117
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,840
makes the moon, because the
Urantia book says that all of
118
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,520
the, the globular bodies were
part of that mass that were were
119
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,960
drawn off by the gravitational
pull of the passing system, what
120
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,480
they refer to as in gonna.
But it doesn't say that the
121
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,080
moon, the, the, the mass that
makes up the moon was disgorged
122
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
from Earth.
And I've read through that a
123
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800
couple of times.
So I would say to Lucas, I
124
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,880
believe what they were
intimating was that the moon was
125
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,960
its own collection of mass, not
quite large enough to set out on
126
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,000
its own path, but that it was,
it was captured by the the mass
127
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,360
of the Earth because it was
slightly larger.
128
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,440
What it does not say is that the
moon came from the Earth.
129
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,280
What it does say is that the
Earth came from that ejection of
130
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,240
solar mass in response to the
gravitational pull of the
131
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,320
passing Angonas system.
So it's slight, it's subtle, but
132
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,600
it's specific.
And so I also add to this
133
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,400
question, we've all been taught
in science that the moon came
134
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
from Earth.
It's true.
135
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,760
It's literally true.
I remember being taught this in,
136
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,480
you know, elementary school.
But that's not true because we
137
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,760
haven't ever been able to prove
it.
138
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,880
You know, so the assumption is
when you're reading this paper
139
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120
is that, oh, the moon must have
broken off at some point from
140
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960
the Earth.
I'm I'm inclined to believe that
141
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,440
the mass that was ejected from
the sun, a greater portion of it
142
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,040
became Earth and a separate but
nearby portion of mass made-up
143
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,320
the moon.
And that's why the Earth ended
144
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,960
up becoming much larger because
it was attracting more
145
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,520
meteorites and asteroids through
that 200,000 year period around
146
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,800
4,000,000 years ago.
So I hope I've answered the
147
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,400
question, and if there is an
astronomer out there, you can
148
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,960
either concur with me or correct
me, but I think I've got that
149
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,760
right.
OK, So what else have people
150
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,800
been writing about?
Guy turned me on to a new book
151
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:19,000
by this man called Ernest
Holmes, and he wrote this book
152
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,320
called Science of Mind back in
the 60s, but he was around in
153
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,760
the 40s.
Actually, I think he went back
154
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
as far as the 20s.
Ernest Holmes.
155
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,160
And it's a great read.
I've started to read it.
156
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,160
It's very much in the way that
the Arantia book describes mind
157
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,640
and matter and materialism, and
it's very interesting and it
158
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,040
makes me think that maybe Ernest
might have been part of one of
159
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,800
those groups, you know, of the
forum.
160
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,800
I don't know if anybody would
know that.
161
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,120
Maybe we could look back through
and see if the name Ernest
162
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Holmes pops up.
But his book is really good and
163
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,600
it's it it might be a good way
to introduce this whole concept
164
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,800
of the difference between the
mind and the spirit.
165
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,240
But he it's very good read and I
would recommend it to you called
166
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320
the science of Mind by Ernest
Holmes.
167
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,960
So thanks to my good buddy out
there, Charles, for turning on
168
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,520
me to that.
Neil Tolin writes he wants to
169
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,880
know about Melchizedek.
He's a good long time reader,
170
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,600
been part of of the many, many
episodes, always has something
171
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:35,040
interesting to say and he talks
about is it Melchizedek?
172
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,920
He wants to know about
Melchizedek.
173
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:43,480
He wants to know when he when I
think that's going to happen is
174
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480
milk.
Some people say he's already
175
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,240
he's he's still part of the and
we're talking specifically about
176
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,880
macho Venta Melchizedek and he
is the sage of Salem mentioned
177
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,960
in Genesis.
He is the mentor of Abraham, the
178
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,840
instigator of most of the modern
religions today.
179
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Going back to the teachings of
Melchizedek.
180
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,640
He was an emergency son.
They had petitioned at the time
181
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,440
around 2000 BC that the idea of
one God, the light of life, was
182
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,560
disappearing from the mind of
humanity and that the the 12
183
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:29,080
receivers who basically took
over the world after the Lucifer
184
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000
rebellion in Calagasia was no
longer in charge.
185
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,560
They had petitioned the most
highs of adventures saying, you
186
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:40,560
know, we've got a little problem
here on earth.
187
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,360
They're kind of regressing.
Maybe it's time to inject a
188
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,200
little truth into these these
folks and keep them on the right
189
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,440
path because we know that in at
some point, the Son of God,
190
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,720
Michael is going to be making
his appearance.
191
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
So we need to prepare the way
that that's the essence of the
192
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,000
story.
What's interesting is that he is
193
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,080
still part of the receivership
of the 12 Melchizedeks.
194
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,920
He's been at least at this
point, assigned to the four and
195
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,800
20 elders.
And as, as some of us know, in
196
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,160
that group, they serve as
advisors and, and they include
197
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,240
the illustrious Adam and Eve.
Moses is on the committee.
198
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,080
Enoch is on the committee.
I mean, these are these are
199
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:32,160
celebs, spiritual celebrities,
the ones that didn't make the 24
200
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,000
elders that are mentioned in
Revelation.
201
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Interesting.
I would have thought Abraham,
202
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,400
but maybe they have better plans
for him.
203
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:44,760
And there's also the question of
will Adam and Eve return and
204
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,600
bring them their children that
had left after the fall of the
205
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800
first Eden?
And that I think is is equally
206
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
likely.
I've given lots of thought to
207
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,840
the reappearance of Melchizedek.
I think that would be time to
208
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,880
occur, to again prepare the way
for Christ, the return of the
209
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,200
second coming of Christ, which
is in a far distant future,
210
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,240
maybe a few 1000 years from now,
Who knows?
211
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,440
But I don't think that
Melchizedek will come until we
212
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,600
are spiritually at that level
where we would understand what
213
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,440
and who he is.
And the reason for that is
214
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,880
because, you know, all things
being equal, And it breaks my
215
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
heart to have to say this
because I've said it before, but
216
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,520
when they sent us or when
Michael chose this world, he
217
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,200
must have had the wisdom to know
how it was going to end.
218
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680
We were either going to receive
him and accept him or we would
219
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,960
reject him.
And, and it makes me so angry
220
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,080
that that we have never really,
how do I say this in a way that
221
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,920
isn't insensitive because I know
the people that love Christ and,
222
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,360
and the resurrection.
It's so special.
223
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,880
Easter is my favorite holiday.
It always has been because of
224
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,920
the fact of what it represents,
which is the promise, the
225
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,960
promise that there is eternal
life.
226
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,440
There's not a man on this earth.
If they were to ask, well, what
227
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600
makes you think there's such a
thing as an afterlife?
228
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,240
Well, we've got evidence 1000 or
so people witnessed the
229
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,480
resurrected Christ and, and some
of us atheists and some of these
230
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,360
materialists, Oh, well, that's
not true.
231
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,680
They just made all that stuff.
And it would have to be the
232
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,360
biggest conspiracy ever to
perpetuate a lie that Christ did
233
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800
not resurrect that day after a
couple days after he was hung
234
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040
from a cross.
The first part of that story is
235
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,680
the religious rulers and even
the Roman rulers of the day
236
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,840
rejected the man.
They rejected him.
237
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,680
They rejected God.
They rejected the truth that he
238
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,760
was willing to share.
And then when the resurrection
239
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,920
does come, all of a sudden
everybody's like, oh, yeah,
240
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880
well, you know, I believed in
the resurrection.
241
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Yeah.
Yeah.
242
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,240
I remember when none of them
did.
243
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,520
None of them did for weeks.
The apostles were downtrodden
244
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840
and they couldn't leave and they
were afraid they were going to
245
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,840
get jumped and and the, the, the
mobs were going to, it was a
246
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,800
horrible, horrible, aside from
probably the women who were
247
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,040
remained the women's evangelical
Corps.
248
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560
It took a little while for
people to say, oh, yeah, he did
249
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,240
mention he was coming back.
That's right.
250
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:39,240
He did say he was going to lay
down his life and bring it up
251
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,560
again.
And it's a, it's a shame on this
252
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,200
world that that is our legacy,
the world of the cross.
253
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,640
I mean, the legacy of this
world, the 7th bestowal, the
254
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,280
last bestowal, the, the probably
the equally one of the most
255
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,840
important bestowals, that of
being the last in the, in the
256
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000
son of man chain as a material
mortal of the realm.
257
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,839
Every other bestowal they
celebrated him.
258
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
He'd, he'd do his bestowals as a
Melchizedek.
259
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,400
And then he did it as a Lana
Nandek son.
260
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,920
And he did it as a, as an
ascending Angel and then a
261
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Maranche immortal.
And every time at the end of his
262
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,520
bestowals, you know, Michael
would resume his, his seat at
263
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,880
the, the Salvington table and
he'd of course be.
264
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480
So what are you so amazed about?
This is my job.
265
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,760
I'm supposed to do this.
I, I love you.
266
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,600
I want to get to know you.
I want to know what it's like to
267
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,440
be as I've made you to be.
And in every other bestowal,
268
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,400
they welcomed him back.
They celebrated him.
269
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,560
Oh no, not on Urantia, though.
Little different.
270
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Although they were probably more
shocked, I would imagine.
271
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,240
I mean, he wanted the the worst
of the worst and he got it.
272
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,480
But it's on us.
We could have chosen to accept
273
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
him.
He could have hung out a little
274
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,640
bit longer.
He could have been on the earth
275
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,840
10 years, 15 years, he could
have instituted something.
276
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,920
I mean, there were a lot of
restrictions and the main point
277
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,800
of Jesus's trip was to reveal
man to God and reveal God to man
278
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,080
as best he he could.
But the the truth is at the end
279
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560
of the day, we rejected him.
And the and the same people that
280
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,840
would reject Christ 2000 years
ago would be the same people who
281
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,600
would reject the Melchizedek.
They probably think he was the
282
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,640
Antichrist.
You'd have a group of Christians
283
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,960
acting just the way that the
Sanhedrin and the Sadducees and
284
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,320
the Pharisees did in the days of
Christ when he walked the earth.
285
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,960
The same attitude.
In fact, it's worse now because
286
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,320
now people, they just laugh at
it.
287
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,560
Oh, what are you a man of
science?
288
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Are you a man of reason?
What is this?
289
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,000
You know this fool of stuff that
you and and that has not the
290
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
attitude hasn't changed and look
at the way that we run our
291
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,840
governments look at the way that
we run our medicine.
292
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Look at the way that we run
everything that we run and ask
293
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,120
yourself, are we truly living,
You know, with the rules of
294
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,880
conduct that we're and even the
Arantia book says that we have
295
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,560
not ever seriously given the
philosophy of living as Jesus
296
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,640
taught it in motion in Paper
195.
297
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,640
It talks about what a great
opportunity it is now that we
298
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,680
have within the presence of
humanity, the actual life and
299
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,640
teachings of Jesus.
Every single person can pick up
300
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,280
the book.
They don't have to have a priest
301
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,440
explain it to them.
They don't have to memorize all
302
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,440
the passages from the Bible.
And I'm not saying anything bad
303
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,840
about the Bible.
It's scripture, it's what it is.
304
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,600
It took a long time to get here
and it carries, thank God, most
305
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:02,080
of the important truths.
But now we have even an enlarged
306
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,040
revelation and how do we treat
it?
307
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,840
You know, so that's where we're
at and, and all the more reason
308
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,640
for people to think about the
future and where we're headed
309
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Now, if Melchizedek were to
show, what would be the reason?
310
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Would it be to save ourselves
from ourselves?
311
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Would that be the reason that a
Melchizedek and his 11.
312
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,040
Melchizedek receivers would
appear in the sky and maybe
313
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,440
above the clouds and make this
miraculous moment.
314
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Would that be it?
Would it be that the revelation
315
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,360
is that a lot of these UFOs are
in fact spiritual beings that
316
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:46,840
are here to tell us, hey, guess
what we're here is?
317
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,920
Is that how they would reveal
themselves?
318
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800
What would be the purpose of
revealing Melchizedek?
319
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,760
What would his reason for for to
prepare the way for the second
320
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,400
coming.
Well, many of us already know
321
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,800
about the second coming, so we
have to think about where would
322
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,760
man have to be in order to reap
the benefit of having the
323
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,240
visitation of either a
Melchizedek or perhaps another
324
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,360
magisterial son that we haven't
thought of.
325
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Is that possible?
Maybe there would be a, a whole
326
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,600
new personality that would be
introduced to, we don't know,
327
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,880
it's the unknowable.
But what we do know is the
328
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,160
Christ said he would return, but
he would come at a time when we
329
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,800
would all receive him.
And we're not there yet.
330
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,160
Unfortunately, we still have our
work cut out for us.
331
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,040
OK, so we've gone into all that.
Let's get into some of the sound
332
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,160
bites that are out there on
social media and we our response
333
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,520
is based on the perspective of a
Urantia book reader.
334
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,960
So here we go with the first
clip.
335
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,360
Archangel Gabriel Gabriel,
Archangel Michael.
336
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,920
When they talk, look, listen to
them, they say.
337
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,040
I, the Archangel Gabriel, who
stands in the presence of God.
338
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,760
I, the Archangel Michael, who
stands in the presence of God.
339
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,040
And you go to Revelation chapter
4, and you see the 24 elders.
340
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,800
The 24 elders is the Church of
Christ of both branches, the New
341
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,760
and the Old Testament.
So what?
342
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,640
Who are the old, the Church of
Christ, the human beings, people
343
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,080
made out of dust.
And John the Beloved says.
344
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,560
And I saw the 24 elders sitting
in the presence of God, not
345
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,160
standing.
Why?
346
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Because the sun sits while Daddy
stands.
347
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320
But how dare a servant sit in
the presence of his master?
348
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,120
Their head will be chopped and
they'll be kicked out.
349
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320
But he makes some interesting
points about the importance of
350
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,840
the spiritual personalities.
Referring to Michael of course,
351
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,880
and Gabriel.
Not sure if I have an opinion as
352
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,920
much as I like hearing him talk
about that because not those two
353
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,720
personalities don't get their
their credit for what they what
354
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,160
what who they are and what
they've done.
355
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Let's listen to this.
If Jesus is also God, who was he
356
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,760
praying to?
Well, the.
357
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Trinity is God the Father, God
the Son, God the Holy Spirit, 3
358
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,320
persons, one God.
What's interesting, Jesus at one
359
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,880
point, shortly before he was
killed, got up before a group
360
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
and he said I and the Father are
one.
361
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,360
But the Greek word for one there
is not masculine as neuter.
362
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640
Which means Jesus was not saying
I and the Father are the same
363
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,040
person.
He was saying I and the Father
364
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,200
are the same thing.
We're one in nature.
365
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,200
We're one in essence and that's
why people picked up stones to
366
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,040
kill him because they said
you're just a man and you're
367
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,160
claiming to be God.
But then.
368
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
You go to John 14 just a couple
chapters later and he says if
369
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,760
you've seen me, you've seen the
father.
370
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,840
And then in Revelation 1 he says
I am the alpha and the Omega,
371
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,120
the beginning and the end.
Well, the.
372
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,640
Trinity has got the Father, God
the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
373
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,320
You know they're.
Still arguing about this today,
374
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,080
even online, just about that
very thing.
375
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,720
It's the Trinity concept is
still very difficult, but
376
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760
thankfully we have books like
the Urantia book, which actually
377
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880
explain the Trinity in full
detail in the 1st 12 papers of
378
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080
the book.
And then you walk and then you
379
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,920
have an understanding of the
role of the group, the deity
380
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:33,520
group, the Trinity versus the
different aspects of of deity
381
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,160
that all work for each other.
So you have mind, matter,
382
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,120
spirit, they all work together
as a cohesive force, deities,
383
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,280
all of those things.
I mean, to me, it's like, I get
384
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,760
it.
I, I get the Trinity.
385
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800
I understand the role that the
infinite spirit plays as the
386
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,960
conjoint actor and the lineage
of the, the infinite spirit and
387
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,160
her daughters of the infinite
spirit, the creative's daughter
388
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,560
spirits.
And then you've got the sons and
389
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960
that lineage.
You've got the creator sons,
390
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,400
you've got the Leninandek sons,
the Melchizedek sons.
391
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,920
So to me it's, it's, it's clear.
And then the different agencies
392
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
that work on behalf of the
paradise deities.
393
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,840
So you've got the mighty
messengers who who work on
394
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,120
behalf of the sun.
And then you've got the, the
395
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,800
master physical controllers who
work under the direction of, of
396
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,520
the God of matter, the master
architects of the universe.
397
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,800
I mean, it's amazing how God has
set this up and it's the
398
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,400
symmetry is just absolutely
unbelievable.
399
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,400
And it's unfortunate that more
of our brothers and sisters
400
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,640
don't understand that it's
within this Trinity that makes
401
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,760
this God the supreme, even
possible.
402
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,800
All these different converging
infinite forces working together
403
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,160
in the evolution of the of the
universe.
404
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,440
It's like music.
It's like a Symphony, I think.
405
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480
All right, let's let's let's
take a look at this one.
406
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960
This is from Shawn Ryan.
Why they're so?
407
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:11,360
Driven to rebuild the temple.
So we're the chosen people now.
408
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Anybody who believes in Christ,
that's chosen, that's.
409
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Right, which is actually the big
mistake that people make is
410
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,760
still thinking the Jews are the
chosen people.
411
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000
They were, but they rejected
their inheritance.
412
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,360
They refused to accept Christ
because even the Jewish religion
413
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,920
was ultimately a lead up to and
a partial revelation in
414
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,320
relationship to Christ.
So once he came, This is why
415
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,160
Christ was so harsh on them.
The first time I read this I was
416
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:33,880
stunned.
St.
417
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Thomas Aquinas actually makes
the observation.
418
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,320
He said that the prophets and
the patriarchs of the Jews
419
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,760
actually they knew that God was
triune and they knew he was
420
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,960
going to become Incarnate.
They knew this we see this in
421
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,240
the book of Isaiah.
It's revealed in the book of
422
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,560
Isaiah and it's revealed in in
various parts of Scripture that
423
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,040
they then so the Jews actually
knew this.
424
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,640
This is why Christ was so harsh
on the Jews that when he came,
425
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,560
he said he guys shouldn't you
guys knew this.
426
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,640
You know you're calling me that
that make myself evil that the
427
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,960
son of God.
You knew that God was going to
428
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,440
become Incarnate.
It's basically what's being
429
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,160
taught there.
So the fact that they
430
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,600
apostasized and rejected
ultimately God in the end, which
431
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,680
is why God gives them that.
As I mentioned before, he gives
432
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,680
them a one generation.
So after Christ dies in the year
433
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,120
70 AD, the Romans destroy
Jerusalem.
434
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,920
And that's why now the Jews
aren't.
435
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,440
None of the Jews are practicing
their religion because none of
436
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560
them are offering sacrifice.
That doesn't mean that they're
437
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,200
not living up according to
certain parts of the Old
438
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,600
Testament and things of that
sort, but they're not actually
439
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,800
performing the ceremonial laws.
Interesting.
440
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,400
And that's why they're so driven
to rebuild the Temple.
441
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Now, I don't know about all that
stuff about building.
442
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,080
That's by the way, that were the
the person was speaking with
443
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,120
Father Chad Reperger and the
show was the Shaun Ryan show.
444
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,600
And elements of that are
obviously accurate because we
445
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,360
know that when Jesus came, as I
mentioned in the first part of
446
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,960
this podcast, that the, the
authorities, the religious
447
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,000
authorities rejected Christ.
And we know why.
448
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,960
I mean, it would be obviously
was a threat to their power
449
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,920
structure.
So that's that's what we know
450
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,520
now, unfortunately, it's tragic
because historically the Jews
451
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600
have been blamed about this for
decades in millennia.
452
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,920
So I don't want to dig up old
wounds, but we understand that,
453
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,760
yes.
And, and even the Urantia book
454
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,160
is specific that while the Jews
were not quote the chosen people
455
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,440
as depicted in the Old
Testament, Abraham most
456
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,920
certainly was a chosen
individual.
457
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,560
Melchizedek single handedly
pointed this out in in the
458
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Urantia book.
It talks about how the
459
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Melchizedeks had been observing
the genetic history of Abraham
460
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,800
and his ancestors and they were
expecting that at some point a
461
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,280
man of great nobility and
intelligence would be born into
462
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,000
this family.
And it turned out to be Abraham.
463
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,760
And Abraham carried the he
carried the truth.
464
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Remember, the story is that
Melchizedek was here to prepare
465
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,120
the way because he knew that
Michael was going to be
466
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
incarnated on this planet.
I mean, that knowledge had been
467
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,520
around since back in Adam and
Eve's day, but the truth had
468
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,360
been lost through time.
And so it was up to Abraham and
469
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,160
his offspring to continue this
truth so that they would be
470
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,480
prepared, the Jewish people, for
the appearance of of the Creator
471
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Son, the bestowal son.
And then unfortunately, we all
472
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,160
know how it ended.
Another another fascinating clip
473
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,400
here for you.
Who was the 1st to witness?
474
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,680
The Resurrection.
All four.
475
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120
Gospels talk about women being
among the first to experience
476
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,160
and see Jesus Christ after the
resurrection.
477
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,400
Luke's account specifically
mentions a group of women at the
478
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,400
tomb, including Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, and Mary, the mother of
479
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,200
James.
Matthew goes a little deeper and
480
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,760
says it was Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary that first
481
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600
encountered Jesus together after
leaving the tomb.
482
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Mark's account, though it's a
little questionable, states that
483
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,760
Jesus appeared first to Mary
Magdalene, but it's John that
484
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,800
really zooms in and focuses on
Mary Magdalene as the very first
485
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,880
one to encounter Jesus.
She first mistakes him for the
486
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,320
gardener, then realizes who
Jesus is, calls him out by name,
487
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,640
and is sent out by Jesus to go
and declare his resurrection to
488
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,280
the other apostles.
It's why the Eastern Orthodox
489
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,800
Church and the Roman Catholic
Church both call her the Apostle
490
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,600
to the Apostles, because she was
the very first person to bring
491
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,720
the message of the resurrection
to the Apostle.
492
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,600
And that is from the Awakening
Media Company talking about the
493
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,520
first person to see the risen
Jesus after the resurrection.
494
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,280
And I'm also very happy that the
Arantia book goes to great
495
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,120
lengths to talk about not only
how Jesus treated women during
496
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,160
an age when women were not
treated very well and how he
497
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920
rose them up and gave them
dignity.
498
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,000
And then it's also important
that they were so instrumental
499
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,120
in the early spread of of
Jesus's teachings, the women's
500
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,400
evangelical core.
And it's sad to report that
501
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,520
history completely omitted them
from Scripture, from the
502
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,680
gospels.
But what I can report is for
503
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,720
women who want to know how
Christ treated women in his age
504
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,440
and certainly how Adam and Eve
coexisted.
505
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,240
And then if you want to get
really down and dirty, read
506
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,520
about what is it the they do it
every year.
507
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,960
What is that event?
And it occurs right after the
508
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,920
final resurrection, the final
bestowal, the Jubilee, the
509
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Jubilee of Jubilees.
That's what it is.
510
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
All right, so let's see what
this I started going to that
511
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800
empty Catholic Church and I
would sit in the back Pew and I
512
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,960
would argue with the crucifix
every day I would be there and I
513
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,200
would tell Jesus, you're not the
Son of God because there is no
514
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,880
Son of God.
Why are you doing this to me?
515
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Leave me alone.
And I would just be angry.
516
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,160
And I would say that to him.
And then I'd tell him about my
517
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960
day.
And by the time I walked out, I
518
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,400
had peace and I would show up
the next day.
519
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040
And I was in marketing.
So I had Jesus on my schedule
520
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,040
every single day except on
Sunday because Sundays people
521
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,360
went to church and I couldn't go
in.
522
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160
So I wasn't happy about it.
So I couldn't wait for Monday to
523
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,920
go tell him he's not the Son of
God.
524
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
And so I did that every single
day.
525
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,320
You're not the Son of God.
And months went by with this
526
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,920
argument, and finally one day
God had enough of me.
527
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,200
And I walked into that church
again, alone, empty church, sat
528
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,640
down, and I started, You're not
the Son of God.
529
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,080
And that day in that empty
Catholic Church, I heard the
530
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,080
voice of God echo, and I heard
it with my ears.
531
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,040
And he said to me, who are you
to tell me who I can be and
532
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
cannot be?
If you really want to know the
533
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,120
truth, go and come back like a
child and I will tell you the
534
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,040
truth.
I ran out of the church.
535
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,440
I had no doubt God had just
spoken to me.
536
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,320
That voice echoed in that church
and it was powerful and it was
537
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:13,360
firm, but it was also loving and
it wasn't a voice because I knew
538
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,480
Allah where Allah just dictates.
This was the voice of a father
539
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,760
who just scolded me.
But he also told me, if you want
540
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,800
the truth, which means there is
a truth, come back like a child.
541
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,400
And he gave me a promise.
I will tell you the truth.
542
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360
And so I came back.
And when I walked into that
543
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,720
church, I knew my life was going
to change.
544
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,000
I knew I was going to pay a
price for this truth, but I
545
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280
wanted it at all cost.
It was worth it.
546
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,800
I came in and I sat down and I
emptied my mind of what I've
547
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,600
been taught for 40 years.
And I said to him, tell me
548
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,280
that's all I said.
And in that instant there was a
549
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280
bolt of light that came from
that crucifix and it hit my
550
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,360
heart and it went through my
body and I started to shake and
551
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,640
cry, sobbing because in front of
me was Jesus.
552
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,159
And all that my mouth could say
was I believe.
553
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,560
I believe.
And in that moment I had never
554
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,920
gotten on my knees.
But in that moment I felt like
555
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,440
my knees gave way.
And I collapsed on my knees
556
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,920
sobbing and saying, I believe.
I believe.
557
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,239
You are the Son of God.
I believe, I believe because at
558
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,239
the name of Jesus every knee
shall bend and every tongue
559
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,520
confess that He is Lord to the
glory of God the Father.
560
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,480
When truth stands in front of
you, you cannot deny it.
561
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,760
I was expecting a philosophy or
some words that God was going to
562
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,560
reveal the truth about.
I was not prepared to face truth
563
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,440
himself because truth is a
person and His name is Jesus
564
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,639
Christ of Nazareth.
I started going and that comes
565
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,880
from a woman by the name of Ali
for God, glory, an admitted
566
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,760
Muslim and she had that
experience and she says, I know
567
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,600
that this is it.
I'm I'm going to be paying a
568
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,720
price for this one.
That's a tough call.
569
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,800
It takes a lot of courage.
You know, I, I, I, I've told
570
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040
people this, you know, people
ask me, you know, why do you put
571
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,880
so much time and energy into the
Urantia book?
572
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,360
And I said because I had already
believed in Christ before I even
573
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,760
started reading the Urantia
book.
574
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,840
But once you read something or
once you are looking at
575
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,680
something and you know that it
has that ring of truth, you,
576
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,600
you, I mean, what are you
supposed to do?
577
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,760
Say no, that's not true.
Even though my mind is accepted
578
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,360
that what I have in my
possession is has what, by what
579
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,760
other measure?
So, and, and this woman tells a
580
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,720
very courageous story.
I wonder, and it's not an old
581
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:44,320
video, so it's fairly recent.
I wonder if you if you've had
582
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,720
that shared experience as well?
This is interesting because I
583
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,400
think that every human being who
is self-conscious understands
584
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,520
exactly what this person is
talking about, no?
585
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,440
If you sit quietly for a moment
and just observe what's
586
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,880
happening inside your head,
you'll notice something rather
587
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,400
extraordinary.
There's this constant chatter
588
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,480
going on, an endless stream of
commentary, of narration, of
589
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,960
conversation with yourself,
about yourself.
590
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,160
It never stops.
Even right now, as you're
591
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,120
listening to me, there's
probably another voice in your
592
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,480
head commenting on what I'm
saying, agreeing or disagreeing,
593
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,640
planning what to think next,
wondering if you've understood
594
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,040
correctly, perhaps even talking
about the fact that it's
595
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,800
talking.
This internal dialogue is so
596
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,480
constant, so pervasive, that
most people don't even notice it
597
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,480
anymore.
It's like the hum of a
598
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,840
refrigerator that you only hear
when someone points it out.
599
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,920
You know, that's from Richard
Victor Richmond post that.
600
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,560
And there's so much truth of
that because we know, or at
601
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440
least from what the Urantia book
talks about, how the mechanism
602
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,960
of the mind works on a conscious
level, on a subconscious level,
603
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,240
and even on a super conscious
level when our spirit fragment
604
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:05,280
is trying to influence and make
us more spiritually aroused, if
605
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
you will.
And so it is interesting how we
606
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,520
have that mechanism of the brain
that is super material and it's
607
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,720
not bound by time and it's not
bound by space, but it's there
608
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:20,800
and it's it's a if.
My question is, I don't think
609
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,240
many people even are aware or
are conscious of what their mind
610
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,480
is doing.
They almost are in autopilot.
611
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,320
That's sort of what I take from
this.
612
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,320
Anyway, we've got time for one
more watch.
613
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,880
How Paul Rudd changes their mind
to There's actually a good
614
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,600
lesson in this if you guys.
Could go back in time and spend
615
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,040
the day of anyone from history,
who would you choose apart from
616
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,840
the Wright brothers?
Obviously anyone from history
617
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,760
who would Who would we choose?
That's a great.
618
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,160
Question.
I know my answer.
619
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Go ahead.
Jesus Christ.
620
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,600
By the way, laugh all you want
and it seems like it would be a
621
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,360
wrong thing to say he existed.
Yeah, we know you.
622
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,920
So wouldn't you want to spend
some time with him and go?
623
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Jesus, what's the deal?
Did you think of?
624
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,000
What's the deal?
True.
625
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean, I probably, it sounds
626
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,560
great.
It is no genuinely fantastic.
627
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,760
Answer but and it.
Sounds like you say this and
628
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,680
people think like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, you can't say that.
629
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120
And I'd say, well, why?
No, That's who I would do.
630
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,960
That's true.
That's why I called this episode
631
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,520
Jesus.
What's the deal?
632
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Now you know where the title
came from.
633
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,800
Listen, I'll be on a mini
vacation of sorts, traveling W
634
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,480
visiting family and friends and
then we'll be back.
635
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,720
So if there's a little bit of a
delay, I'll try to do an episode
636
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,920
while I'm traveling, but if I'm
not able to, we will reconvene
637
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,160
in the month of late.
May is probably when I'll be
638
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,760
back.
So hang tight and you're in
639
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,520
charge until I get back.
See you next time on the Rancho
640
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:51,520
Radio Podcast.
00:00:21,970 --> 00:00:24,850
Couple of footnotes before we
begin here on the Rancho Radio
2
00:00:24,850 --> 00:00:28,410
podcast where we talk about the
fifth epical revelation.
3
00:00:28,410 --> 00:00:31,730
The revelation.
I got a an e-mail from someone
4
00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:35,200
saying I'm not saying it right.
Why we say the epical
5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,840
revelation?
I like the word epical.
6
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,560
I don't like the word epochal.
I've asked people, hey, is it
7
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,360
epical or epochal?
It's just a matter of
8
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:46,080
preference.
It's like some people say
9
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:52,640
nephilim, I say I say Nephilim,
other people say Nephilim, some
10
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,720
people say norlichedek, others
say Norlitiadek.
11
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,280
I guess it's just a matter of
preference, but I always
12
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:05,200
appreciate the e-mail and we do
have a lot of good e-mail, a
13
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,200
good listener e-mail that I'll
go to some of these great
14
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,560
questions.
And you can always send me an
15
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,600
e-mail if you have a question
about the Urantia book.
16
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,920
And if I don't have the answer,
I'll find it.
17
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,680
And that's easy.
urantiabookradio@gmail.com.
18
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,360
So thank you.
We've got some interesting sound
19
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,200
clips.
It's also the week of Easter,
20
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,560
which we celebrate the birth and
the resurrection and the life of
21
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,640
Christ.
So we'll spend a little bit of
22
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,760
time on all of this.
I read, I was reading through
23
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,440
the week, the last days of
Jesus's life.
24
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,120
And I just finished reading the
Last Supper and it's, it's a
25
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,000
really, it's worth going back to
and reading and learning some
26
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,800
lessons, some very important key
lessons that have been lost in
27
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:54,520
time.
And chief among them, just
28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:58,560
briefly, because it is Easter
week and we do celebrate the the
29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,400
promise kept.
And one of the passages
30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,720
curiously, was that the
formality of the Last Supper is
31
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,880
pretty much time honored and
celebrated across all the major
32
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,360
Christian faiths.
There's no question the Last
33
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:22,480
Supper is is practiced almost to
a what they call a mathematical
34
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,320
precision.
And it was exactly the opposite
35
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,520
that the Urantia book revelators
tell us of why Jesus wanted to
36
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,760
have this Last Supper with his
12 apostles.
37
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:40,400
And I had forgotten that he
wanted to dispel of all
38
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
formality when it came to
religious practice.
39
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,560
And I understand why he, he
chose that path because he
40
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,720
ultimately wanted religion to be
a natural part of your life, not
41
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:59,400
something separate or in
addition to or separate from.
42
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,040
But the, the whole idea of
living in the spiritual Kingdom
43
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,880
is that you accept your
citizenship, you accept your
44
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,040
sonship, and then you go about
living your life in this new
45
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,960
paradigm.
And that's what Jesus always
46
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,040
taught that religion, for
example, if you're a vegan, if
47
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:24,000
you're a vegan, it, it's a
natural part of your lifestyle
48
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:28,520
to just not eat meat.
And when you're, when you're a
49
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,120
person of religious faith, you
go about your life living as a
50
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160
person of faith and you have a
better hopefully understanding
51
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,160
of things that are going on
around you.
52
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:43,200
The relationships that you have
are, are based on loyalty,
53
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,760
fidelity, trust.
And these are things that come
54
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,960
about because of the moral
nature.
55
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,720
The morality and spirituality
are are very intertwined. 1
56
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,080
tends to produce the
characteristics of morality and
57
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:02,680
morality helps you to appreciate
spirituality in all of its
58
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,280
forms.
So in in doing the Last Supper,
59
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,720
he said, Remember Me breaking
the bread, Remember Me drinking
60
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680
the wine.
And it was intended.
61
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:18,079
And when I had forgotten this to
Freeman from the the symbols and
62
00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,360
the rituals.
And it's sad that the exact
63
00:04:21,399 --> 00:04:23,920
opposite happened because now
we've formalized and
64
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:29,720
crystallized the Last Supper
into a ceremony when Jesus's
65
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,920
intent was to have a special
occasion for his apostles.
66
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,040
Remember Me?
So it's just a a bit of irony,
67
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,280
but let me get to some of the
listeners.
68
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:42,520
Then we'll get to some of the
interesting sound.
69
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,000
I've got some great e-mail.
This one gentleman emailed me
70
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,720
last night and I hope I got it.
I think it's over here.
71
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,280
And he talks about how in paper
57 and you know, everybody's
72
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,960
kind of focusing on the moon
right now with the Artemis and
73
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,200
the Orion and all the crew
members.
74
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Very exciting times, no
question.
75
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,200
And so because we're all
focusing on the moon, this one
76
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,760
listener wrote me, he's a
relatively new reader, 32 year
77
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,480
old.
And he says to me, you know, I,
78
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,600
I'm not reconciled on an
explanation about the moon and
79
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:25,160
the earth.
And, and he says we've been
80
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,520
taught and science tells us that
the moon actually broke off and
81
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,600
was at one point a part of the
earth and that it doesn't jive
82
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,600
with, with the fact that it has,
I think he said a rotation.
83
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,360
And of course, you know, as I
try to find the, the e-mail, I
84
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,480
can't because I don't want to
miss the essence of what he oh,
85
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:50,840
here it is from Lucas.
He writes, he writes the Urantia
86
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:54,120
book describes the moon as
forming from the earth, spinning
87
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,800
so rapidly that material was
ejected and eventually became
88
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,960
the moon rather than forming
from a collision.
89
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,120
And he quotes paper 57, six
paragraph two.
90
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,760
He says, however, from what I
understand, very few celestial
91
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,400
bodies are capable of spinning
at that rate, especially
92
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,400
something the size of any Earth.
Given that early Earth would
93
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,280
have been mostly molten and
unstable, it seems more likely
94
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,280
that it would have been.
It would have been disrupted
95
00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:28,200
entirely by centrifugal force
rather than ejecting a single
96
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:32,160
coherent mass.
And then he says, do you have
97
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,320
any thoughts on this?
How do I reconcile this?
98
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,240
Well, it's in the details.
See, the Urantia book is very
99
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,560
clear about some things that it
can disclose because of its
100
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:44,800
mandate.
And so sometimes what you think
101
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:46,880
that you read is not actually
what you read.
102
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,480
For example, there's a lot of
controversy over the fact that
103
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:54,200
there's a paragraph in that same
section where it talks about how
104
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Mercury and the Moon both are
always faced towards the same
105
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,080
side toward the the either the
Earth or the Sun.
106
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,400
However, it doesn't actually say
that.
107
00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,280
It's tricky and if I have time
I'll explain it, but to Lucas's
108
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,600
point, the Urantia book doesn't
say that Earth and the moon were
109
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,960
part of the same globular
coherent mass that ejected from
110
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,040
the sun.
In fact, it only references that
111
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,560
the planets came the that they
were a result of the Angonas
112
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:32,800
system that was drawing off of
the material of the sun and some
113
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:36,640
of it had is had escaped its
gravitational pull.
114
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:41,160
And those the collections of
early solar mass eventually
115
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,080
became what was then the 12
planets.
116
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,560
And I would assume that that
includes also the material that
117
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,840
makes the moon, because the
Urantia book says that all of
118
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:56,520
the, the globular bodies were
part of that mass that were were
119
00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,960
drawn off by the gravitational
pull of the passing system, what
120
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:05,480
they refer to as in gonna.
But it doesn't say that the
121
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,080
moon, the, the, the mass that
makes up the moon was disgorged
122
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,320
from Earth.
And I've read through that a
123
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,800
couple of times.
So I would say to Lucas, I
124
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,880
believe what they were
intimating was that the moon was
125
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:25,960
its own collection of mass, not
quite large enough to set out on
126
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:31,000
its own path, but that it was,
it was captured by the the mass
127
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,360
of the Earth because it was
slightly larger.
128
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,440
What it does not say is that the
moon came from the Earth.
129
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:43,280
What it does say is that the
Earth came from that ejection of
130
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:47,240
solar mass in response to the
gravitational pull of the
131
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,320
passing Angonas system.
So it's slight, it's subtle, but
132
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:56,600
it's specific.
And so I also add to this
133
00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:01,400
question, we've all been taught
in science that the moon came
134
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,000
from Earth.
It's true.
135
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,760
It's literally true.
I remember being taught this in,
136
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,480
you know, elementary school.
But that's not true because we
137
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,760
haven't ever been able to prove
it.
138
00:09:15,560 --> 00:09:19,880
You know, so the assumption is
when you're reading this paper
139
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,120
is that, oh, the moon must have
broken off at some point from
140
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960
the Earth.
I'm I'm inclined to believe that
141
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:33,440
the mass that was ejected from
the sun, a greater portion of it
142
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:39,040
became Earth and a separate but
nearby portion of mass made-up
143
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,320
the moon.
And that's why the Earth ended
144
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,960
up becoming much larger because
it was attracting more
145
00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:50,520
meteorites and asteroids through
that 200,000 year period around
146
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,800
4,000,000 years ago.
So I hope I've answered the
147
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,400
question, and if there is an
astronomer out there, you can
148
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,960
either concur with me or correct
me, but I think I've got that
149
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:05,760
right.
OK, So what else have people
150
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:11,800
been writing about?
Guy turned me on to a new book
151
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:19,000
by this man called Ernest
Holmes, and he wrote this book
152
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,320
called Science of Mind back in
the 60s, but he was around in
153
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,760
the 40s.
Actually, I think he went back
154
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,800
as far as the 20s.
Ernest Holmes.
155
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,160
And it's a great read.
I've started to read it.
156
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,160
It's very much in the way that
the Arantia book describes mind
157
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,640
and matter and materialism, and
it's very interesting and it
158
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:45,040
makes me think that maybe Ernest
might have been part of one of
159
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,800
those groups, you know, of the
forum.
160
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,800
I don't know if anybody would
know that.
161
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,120
Maybe we could look back through
and see if the name Ernest
162
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,120
Holmes pops up.
But his book is really good and
163
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,600
it's it it might be a good way
to introduce this whole concept
164
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,800
of the difference between the
mind and the spirit.
165
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,240
But he it's very good read and I
would recommend it to you called
166
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,320
the science of Mind by Ernest
Holmes.
167
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:14,960
So thanks to my good buddy out
there, Charles, for turning on
168
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:19,520
me to that.
Neil Tolin writes he wants to
169
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:24,880
know about Melchizedek.
He's a good long time reader,
170
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:28,600
been part of of the many, many
episodes, always has something
171
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:35,040
interesting to say and he talks
about is it Melchizedek?
172
00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,920
He wants to know about
Melchizedek.
173
00:11:38,560 --> 00:11:43,480
He wants to know when he when I
think that's going to happen is
174
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,480
milk.
Some people say he's already
175
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:49,240
he's he's still part of the and
we're talking specifically about
176
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:54,880
macho Venta Melchizedek and he
is the sage of Salem mentioned
177
00:11:54,880 --> 00:12:01,960
in Genesis.
He is the mentor of Abraham, the
178
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,840
instigator of most of the modern
religions today.
179
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:07,920
Going back to the teachings of
Melchizedek.
180
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,640
He was an emergency son.
They had petitioned at the time
181
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:18,440
around 2000 BC that the idea of
one God, the light of life, was
182
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:23,560
disappearing from the mind of
humanity and that the the 12
183
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:29,080
receivers who basically took
over the world after the Lucifer
184
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000
rebellion in Calagasia was no
longer in charge.
185
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,560
They had petitioned the most
highs of adventures saying, you
186
00:12:37,560 --> 00:12:40,560
know, we've got a little problem
here on earth.
187
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,360
They're kind of regressing.
Maybe it's time to inject a
188
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,200
little truth into these these
folks and keep them on the right
189
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:53,440
path because we know that in at
some point, the Son of God,
190
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,720
Michael is going to be making
his appearance.
191
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
So we need to prepare the way
that that's the essence of the
192
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,000
story.
What's interesting is that he is
193
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,080
still part of the receivership
of the 12 Melchizedeks.
194
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,920
He's been at least at this
point, assigned to the four and
195
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:14,800
20 elders.
And as, as some of us know, in
196
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,160
that group, they serve as
advisors and, and they include
197
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:23,240
the illustrious Adam and Eve.
Moses is on the committee.
198
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,080
Enoch is on the committee.
I mean, these are these are
199
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:32,160
celebs, spiritual celebrities,
the ones that didn't make the 24
200
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,000
elders that are mentioned in
Revelation.
201
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,360
Interesting.
I would have thought Abraham,
202
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:38,400
but maybe they have better plans
for him.
203
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:44,760
And there's also the question of
will Adam and Eve return and
204
00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:48,600
bring them their children that
had left after the fall of the
205
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:52,800
first Eden?
And that I think is is equally
206
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,160
likely.
I've given lots of thought to
207
00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,840
the reappearance of Melchizedek.
I think that would be time to
208
00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,880
occur, to again prepare the way
for Christ, the return of the
209
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:10,200
second coming of Christ, which
is in a far distant future,
210
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:12,240
maybe a few 1000 years from now,
Who knows?
211
00:14:13,560 --> 00:14:17,440
But I don't think that
Melchizedek will come until we
212
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,600
are spiritually at that level
where we would understand what
213
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,440
and who he is.
And the reason for that is
214
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:28,880
because, you know, all things
being equal, And it breaks my
215
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,280
heart to have to say this
because I've said it before, but
216
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:36,520
when they sent us or when
Michael chose this world, he
217
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,200
must have had the wisdom to know
how it was going to end.
218
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,680
We were either going to receive
him and accept him or we would
219
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:45,960
reject him.
And, and it makes me so angry
220
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:52,080
that that we have never really,
how do I say this in a way that
221
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,920
isn't insensitive because I know
the people that love Christ and,
222
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:59,360
and the resurrection.
It's so special.
223
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,880
Easter is my favorite holiday.
It always has been because of
224
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,920
the fact of what it represents,
which is the promise, the
225
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:09,960
promise that there is eternal
life.
226
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:14,440
There's not a man on this earth.
If they were to ask, well, what
227
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,600
makes you think there's such a
thing as an afterlife?
228
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,240
Well, we've got evidence 1000 or
so people witnessed the
229
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:26,480
resurrected Christ and, and some
of us atheists and some of these
230
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:28,360
materialists, Oh, well, that's
not true.
231
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:32,680
They just made all that stuff.
And it would have to be the
232
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:39,360
biggest conspiracy ever to
perpetuate a lie that Christ did
233
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,800
not resurrect that day after a
couple days after he was hung
234
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:46,040
from a cross.
The first part of that story is
235
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,680
the religious rulers and even
the Roman rulers of the day
236
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:52,840
rejected the man.
They rejected him.
237
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,680
They rejected God.
They rejected the truth that he
238
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,760
was willing to share.
And then when the resurrection
239
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,920
does come, all of a sudden
everybody's like, oh, yeah,
240
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,880
well, you know, I believed in
the resurrection.
241
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Yeah.
Yeah.
242
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,240
I remember when none of them
did.
243
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,520
None of them did for weeks.
The apostles were downtrodden
244
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,840
and they couldn't leave and they
were afraid they were going to
245
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:19,840
get jumped and and the, the, the
mobs were going to, it was a
246
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:24,800
horrible, horrible, aside from
probably the women who were
247
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,040
remained the women's evangelical
Corps.
248
00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,560
It took a little while for
people to say, oh, yeah, he did
249
00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:33,240
mention he was coming back.
That's right.
250
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:39,240
He did say he was going to lay
down his life and bring it up
251
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:45,560
again.
And it's a, it's a shame on this
252
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,200
world that that is our legacy,
the world of the cross.
253
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,640
I mean, the legacy of this
world, the 7th bestowal, the
254
00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:57,280
last bestowal, the, the probably
the equally one of the most
255
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,840
important bestowals, that of
being the last in the, in the
256
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:05,000
son of man chain as a material
mortal of the realm.
257
00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:07,839
Every other bestowal they
celebrated him.
258
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
He'd, he'd do his bestowals as a
Melchizedek.
259
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,400
And then he did it as a Lana
Nandek son.
260
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,920
And he did it as a, as an
ascending Angel and then a
261
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,480
Maranche immortal.
And every time at the end of his
262
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,520
bestowals, you know, Michael
would resume his, his seat at
263
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,880
the, the Salvington table and
he'd of course be.
264
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,480
So what are you so amazed about?
This is my job.
265
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,760
I'm supposed to do this.
I, I love you.
266
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,600
I want to get to know you.
I want to know what it's like to
267
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:40,440
be as I've made you to be.
And in every other bestowal,
268
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,400
they welcomed him back.
They celebrated him.
269
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,560
Oh no, not on Urantia, though.
Little different.
270
00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:52,280
Although they were probably more
shocked, I would imagine.
271
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,240
I mean, he wanted the the worst
of the worst and he got it.
272
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,480
But it's on us.
We could have chosen to accept
273
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,480
him.
He could have hung out a little
274
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,640
bit longer.
He could have been on the earth
275
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:11,840
10 years, 15 years, he could
have instituted something.
276
00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:14,920
I mean, there were a lot of
restrictions and the main point
277
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:19,800
of Jesus's trip was to reveal
man to God and reveal God to man
278
00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,080
as best he he could.
But the the truth is at the end
279
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,560
of the day, we rejected him.
And the and the same people that
280
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,840
would reject Christ 2000 years
ago would be the same people who
281
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:34,600
would reject the Melchizedek.
They probably think he was the
282
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,640
Antichrist.
You'd have a group of Christians
283
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,960
acting just the way that the
Sanhedrin and the Sadducees and
284
00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:47,320
the Pharisees did in the days of
Christ when he walked the earth.
285
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,960
The same attitude.
In fact, it's worse now because
286
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:53,320
now people, they just laugh at
it.
287
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:55,560
Oh, what are you a man of
science?
288
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,040
Are you a man of reason?
What is this?
289
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,000
You know this fool of stuff that
you and and that has not the
290
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,560
attitude hasn't changed and look
at the way that we run our
291
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,840
governments look at the way that
we run our medicine.
292
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,520
Look at the way that we run
everything that we run and ask
293
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:16,120
yourself, are we truly living,
You know, with the rules of
294
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,880
conduct that we're and even the
Arantia book says that we have
295
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:24,560
not ever seriously given the
philosophy of living as Jesus
296
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,640
taught it in motion in Paper
195.
297
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:32,640
It talks about what a great
opportunity it is now that we
298
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,680
have within the presence of
humanity, the actual life and
299
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:39,640
teachings of Jesus.
Every single person can pick up
300
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,280
the book.
They don't have to have a priest
301
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,440
explain it to them.
They don't have to memorize all
302
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:49,440
the passages from the Bible.
And I'm not saying anything bad
303
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,840
about the Bible.
It's scripture, it's what it is.
304
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,600
It took a long time to get here
and it carries, thank God, most
305
00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:02,080
of the important truths.
But now we have even an enlarged
306
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,040
revelation and how do we treat
it?
307
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:11,840
You know, so that's where we're
at and, and all the more reason
308
00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:16,640
for people to think about the
future and where we're headed
309
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840
Now, if Melchizedek were to
show, what would be the reason?
310
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,400
Would it be to save ourselves
from ourselves?
311
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Would that be the reason that a
Melchizedek and his 11.
312
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,040
Melchizedek receivers would
appear in the sky and maybe
313
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,440
above the clouds and make this
miraculous moment.
314
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,600
Would that be it?
Would it be that the revelation
315
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:42,360
is that a lot of these UFOs are
in fact spiritual beings that
316
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:46,840
are here to tell us, hey, guess
what we're here is?
317
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:48,920
Is that how they would reveal
themselves?
318
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,800
What would be the purpose of
revealing Melchizedek?
319
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,760
What would his reason for for to
prepare the way for the second
320
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,400
coming.
Well, many of us already know
321
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:01,800
about the second coming, so we
have to think about where would
322
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:05,760
man have to be in order to reap
the benefit of having the
323
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:11,240
visitation of either a
Melchizedek or perhaps another
324
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,360
magisterial son that we haven't
thought of.
325
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,800
Is that possible?
Maybe there would be a, a whole
326
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,600
new personality that would be
introduced to, we don't know,
327
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,880
it's the unknowable.
But what we do know is the
328
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:30,160
Christ said he would return, but
he would come at a time when we
329
00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,800
would all receive him.
And we're not there yet.
330
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,160
Unfortunately, we still have our
work cut out for us.
331
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:41,040
OK, so we've gone into all that.
Let's get into some of the sound
332
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,160
bites that are out there on
social media and we our response
333
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,520
is based on the perspective of a
Urantia book reader.
334
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:50,960
So here we go with the first
clip.
335
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:54,360
Archangel Gabriel Gabriel,
Archangel Michael.
336
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,920
When they talk, look, listen to
them, they say.
337
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:02,040
I, the Archangel Gabriel, who
stands in the presence of God.
338
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,760
I, the Archangel Michael, who
stands in the presence of God.
339
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,040
And you go to Revelation chapter
4, and you see the 24 elders.
340
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,800
The 24 elders is the Church of
Christ of both branches, the New
341
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,760
and the Old Testament.
So what?
342
00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:21,640
Who are the old, the Church of
Christ, the human beings, people
343
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,080
made out of dust.
And John the Beloved says.
344
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,560
And I saw the 24 elders sitting
in the presence of God, not
345
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,160
standing.
Why?
346
00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:36,880
Because the sun sits while Daddy
stands.
347
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,320
But how dare a servant sit in
the presence of his master?
348
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,120
Their head will be chopped and
they'll be kicked out.
349
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,320
But he makes some interesting
points about the importance of
350
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:54,840
the spiritual personalities.
Referring to Michael of course,
351
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,880
and Gabriel.
Not sure if I have an opinion as
352
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,920
much as I like hearing him talk
about that because not those two
353
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,720
personalities don't get their
their credit for what they what
354
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,160
what who they are and what
they've done.
355
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,600
Let's listen to this.
If Jesus is also God, who was he
356
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:14,760
praying to?
Well, the.
357
00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,520
Trinity is God the Father, God
the Son, God the Holy Spirit, 3
358
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,320
persons, one God.
What's interesting, Jesus at one
359
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,880
point, shortly before he was
killed, got up before a group
360
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,400
and he said I and the Father are
one.
361
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:32,360
But the Greek word for one there
is not masculine as neuter.
362
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,640
Which means Jesus was not saying
I and the Father are the same
363
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,040
person.
He was saying I and the Father
364
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,200
are the same thing.
We're one in nature.
365
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,200
We're one in essence and that's
why people picked up stones to
366
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,040
kill him because they said
you're just a man and you're
367
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,160
claiming to be God.
But then.
368
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,240
You go to John 14 just a couple
chapters later and he says if
369
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,760
you've seen me, you've seen the
father.
370
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:55,840
And then in Revelation 1 he says
I am the alpha and the Omega,
371
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,120
the beginning and the end.
Well, the.
372
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,640
Trinity has got the Father, God
the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
373
00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:04,320
You know they're.
Still arguing about this today,
374
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,080
even online, just about that
very thing.
375
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:12,720
It's the Trinity concept is
still very difficult, but
376
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760
thankfully we have books like
the Urantia book, which actually
377
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,880
explain the Trinity in full
detail in the 1st 12 papers of
378
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,080
the book.
And then you walk and then you
379
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,920
have an understanding of the
role of the group, the deity
380
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:33,520
group, the Trinity versus the
different aspects of of deity
381
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:36,160
that all work for each other.
So you have mind, matter,
382
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:41,120
spirit, they all work together
as a cohesive force, deities,
383
00:24:41,120 --> 00:24:43,280
all of those things.
I mean, to me, it's like, I get
384
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:44,760
it.
I, I get the Trinity.
385
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,800
I understand the role that the
infinite spirit plays as the
386
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:53,960
conjoint actor and the lineage
of the, the infinite spirit and
387
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,160
her daughters of the infinite
spirit, the creative's daughter
388
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,560
spirits.
And then you've got the sons and
389
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,960
that lineage.
You've got the creator sons,
390
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,400
you've got the Leninandek sons,
the Melchizedek sons.
391
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:11,920
So to me it's, it's, it's clear.
And then the different agencies
392
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:14,960
that work on behalf of the
paradise deities.
393
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,840
So you've got the mighty
messengers who who work on
394
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:22,120
behalf of the sun.
And then you've got the, the
395
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:26,800
master physical controllers who
work under the direction of, of
396
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,520
the God of matter, the master
architects of the universe.
397
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,800
I mean, it's amazing how God has
set this up and it's the
398
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,400
symmetry is just absolutely
unbelievable.
399
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,400
And it's unfortunate that more
of our brothers and sisters
400
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,640
don't understand that it's
within this Trinity that makes
401
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:47,760
this God the supreme, even
possible.
402
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,800
All these different converging
infinite forces working together
403
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:54,160
in the evolution of the of the
universe.
404
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:57,440
It's like music.
It's like a Symphony, I think.
405
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,480
All right, let's let's let's
take a look at this one.
406
00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,960
This is from Shawn Ryan.
Why they're so?
407
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:11,360
Driven to rebuild the temple.
So we're the chosen people now.
408
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,480
Anybody who believes in Christ,
that's chosen, that's.
409
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,080
Right, which is actually the big
mistake that people make is
410
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:18,760
still thinking the Jews are the
chosen people.
411
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,000
They were, but they rejected
their inheritance.
412
00:26:21,120 --> 00:26:24,360
They refused to accept Christ
because even the Jewish religion
413
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,920
was ultimately a lead up to and
a partial revelation in
414
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,320
relationship to Christ.
So once he came, This is why
415
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,160
Christ was so harsh on them.
The first time I read this I was
416
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:33,880
stunned.
St.
417
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,840
Thomas Aquinas actually makes
the observation.
418
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,320
He said that the prophets and
the patriarchs of the Jews
419
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,760
actually they knew that God was
triune and they knew he was
420
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:43,960
going to become Incarnate.
They knew this we see this in
421
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,240
the book of Isaiah.
It's revealed in the book of
422
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,560
Isaiah and it's revealed in in
various parts of Scripture that
423
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,040
they then so the Jews actually
knew this.
424
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,640
This is why Christ was so harsh
on the Jews that when he came,
425
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:55,560
he said he guys shouldn't you
guys knew this.
426
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,640
You know you're calling me that
that make myself evil that the
427
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:58,960
son of God.
You knew that God was going to
428
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:00,440
become Incarnate.
It's basically what's being
429
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,160
taught there.
So the fact that they
430
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,600
apostasized and rejected
ultimately God in the end, which
431
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,680
is why God gives them that.
As I mentioned before, he gives
432
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:10,680
them a one generation.
So after Christ dies in the year
433
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,120
70 AD, the Romans destroy
Jerusalem.
434
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:15,920
And that's why now the Jews
aren't.
435
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,440
None of the Jews are practicing
their religion because none of
436
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,560
them are offering sacrifice.
That doesn't mean that they're
437
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,200
not living up according to
certain parts of the Old
438
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,600
Testament and things of that
sort, but they're not actually
439
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,800
performing the ceremonial laws.
Interesting.
440
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,400
And that's why they're so driven
to rebuild the Temple.
441
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,200
Now, I don't know about all that
stuff about building.
442
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,080
That's by the way, that were the
the person was speaking with
443
00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:41,120
Father Chad Reperger and the
show was the Shaun Ryan show.
444
00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:46,600
And elements of that are
obviously accurate because we
445
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,360
know that when Jesus came, as I
mentioned in the first part of
446
00:27:51,360 --> 00:27:54,960
this podcast, that the, the
authorities, the religious
447
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:57,000
authorities rejected Christ.
And we know why.
448
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,960
I mean, it would be obviously
was a threat to their power
449
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,920
structure.
So that's that's what we know
450
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,520
now, unfortunately, it's tragic
because historically the Jews
451
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,600
have been blamed about this for
decades in millennia.
452
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,920
So I don't want to dig up old
wounds, but we understand that,
453
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:18,760
yes.
And, and even the Urantia book
454
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:23,160
is specific that while the Jews
were not quote the chosen people
455
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,440
as depicted in the Old
Testament, Abraham most
456
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,920
certainly was a chosen
individual.
457
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:34,560
Melchizedek single handedly
pointed this out in in the
458
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:36,200
Urantia book.
It talks about how the
459
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,320
Melchizedeks had been observing
the genetic history of Abraham
460
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:45,800
and his ancestors and they were
expecting that at some point a
461
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,280
man of great nobility and
intelligence would be born into
462
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:52,000
this family.
And it turned out to be Abraham.
463
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,760
And Abraham carried the he
carried the truth.
464
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:59,760
Remember, the story is that
Melchizedek was here to prepare
465
00:28:59,760 --> 00:29:03,120
the way because he knew that
Michael was going to be
466
00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920
incarnated on this planet.
I mean, that knowledge had been
467
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:11,520
around since back in Adam and
Eve's day, but the truth had
468
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:16,360
been lost through time.
And so it was up to Abraham and
469
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,160
his offspring to continue this
truth so that they would be
470
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:25,480
prepared, the Jewish people, for
the appearance of of the Creator
471
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Son, the bestowal son.
And then unfortunately, we all
472
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:34,160
know how it ended.
Another another fascinating clip
473
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,400
here for you.
Who was the 1st to witness?
474
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,680
The Resurrection.
All four.
475
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,120
Gospels talk about women being
among the first to experience
476
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:43,160
and see Jesus Christ after the
resurrection.
477
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,400
Luke's account specifically
mentions a group of women at the
478
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,400
tomb, including Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, and Mary, the mother of
479
00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,200
James.
Matthew goes a little deeper and
480
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,760
says it was Mary Magdalene and
the other Mary that first
481
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,600
encountered Jesus together after
leaving the tomb.
482
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,280
Mark's account, though it's a
little questionable, states that
483
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:03,760
Jesus appeared first to Mary
Magdalene, but it's John that
484
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:08,800
really zooms in and focuses on
Mary Magdalene as the very first
485
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:11,880
one to encounter Jesus.
She first mistakes him for the
486
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,320
gardener, then realizes who
Jesus is, calls him out by name,
487
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:19,640
and is sent out by Jesus to go
and declare his resurrection to
488
00:30:19,640 --> 00:30:22,280
the other apostles.
It's why the Eastern Orthodox
489
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:25,800
Church and the Roman Catholic
Church both call her the Apostle
490
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:29,600
to the Apostles, because she was
the very first person to bring
491
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,720
the message of the resurrection
to the Apostle.
492
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:36,600
And that is from the Awakening
Media Company talking about the
493
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,520
first person to see the risen
Jesus after the resurrection.
494
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:45,280
And I'm also very happy that the
Arantia book goes to great
495
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:50,120
lengths to talk about not only
how Jesus treated women during
496
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,160
an age when women were not
treated very well and how he
497
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:54,920
rose them up and gave them
dignity.
498
00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,000
And then it's also important
that they were so instrumental
499
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,120
in the early spread of of
Jesus's teachings, the women's
500
00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:06,400
evangelical core.
And it's sad to report that
501
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:11,520
history completely omitted them
from Scripture, from the
502
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:14,680
gospels.
But what I can report is for
503
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:19,720
women who want to know how
Christ treated women in his age
504
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,440
and certainly how Adam and Eve
coexisted.
505
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,240
And then if you want to get
really down and dirty, read
506
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:31,520
about what is it the they do it
every year.
507
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:37,960
What is that event?
And it occurs right after the
508
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:41,920
final resurrection, the final
bestowal, the Jubilee, the
509
00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:45,080
Jubilee of Jubilees.
That's what it is.
510
00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:48,360
All right, so let's see what
this I started going to that
511
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,800
empty Catholic Church and I
would sit in the back Pew and I
512
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,960
would argue with the crucifix
every day I would be there and I
513
00:31:53,960 --> 00:31:57,200
would tell Jesus, you're not the
Son of God because there is no
514
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,880
Son of God.
Why are you doing this to me?
515
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:02,680
Leave me alone.
And I would just be angry.
516
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:05,160
And I would say that to him.
And then I'd tell him about my
517
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:06,960
day.
And by the time I walked out, I
518
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,400
had peace and I would show up
the next day.
519
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,040
And I was in marketing.
So I had Jesus on my schedule
520
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,040
every single day except on
Sunday because Sundays people
521
00:32:15,040 --> 00:32:16,360
went to church and I couldn't go
in.
522
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,160
So I wasn't happy about it.
So I couldn't wait for Monday to
523
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,920
go tell him he's not the Son of
God.
524
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:23,480
And so I did that every single
day.
525
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:27,320
You're not the Son of God.
And months went by with this
526
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:30,920
argument, and finally one day
God had enough of me.
527
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:36,200
And I walked into that church
again, alone, empty church, sat
528
00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:38,640
down, and I started, You're not
the Son of God.
529
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:43,080
And that day in that empty
Catholic Church, I heard the
530
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,080
voice of God echo, and I heard
it with my ears.
531
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,040
And he said to me, who are you
to tell me who I can be and
532
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:53,480
cannot be?
If you really want to know the
533
00:32:53,480 --> 00:32:57,120
truth, go and come back like a
child and I will tell you the
534
00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:00,040
truth.
I ran out of the church.
535
00:33:00,560 --> 00:33:02,440
I had no doubt God had just
spoken to me.
536
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:07,320
That voice echoed in that church
and it was powerful and it was
537
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:13,360
firm, but it was also loving and
it wasn't a voice because I knew
538
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,480
Allah where Allah just dictates.
This was the voice of a father
539
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,760
who just scolded me.
But he also told me, if you want
540
00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,800
the truth, which means there is
a truth, come back like a child.
541
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:29,400
And he gave me a promise.
I will tell you the truth.
542
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,360
And so I came back.
And when I walked into that
543
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,720
church, I knew my life was going
to change.
544
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:40,000
I knew I was going to pay a
price for this truth, but I
545
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,280
wanted it at all cost.
It was worth it.
546
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:47,800
I came in and I sat down and I
emptied my mind of what I've
547
00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,600
been taught for 40 years.
And I said to him, tell me
548
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,280
that's all I said.
And in that instant there was a
549
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:59,280
bolt of light that came from
that crucifix and it hit my
550
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:03,360
heart and it went through my
body and I started to shake and
551
00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:07,640
cry, sobbing because in front of
me was Jesus.
552
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:11,159
And all that my mouth could say
was I believe.
553
00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:13,560
I believe.
And in that moment I had never
554
00:34:13,560 --> 00:34:15,920
gotten on my knees.
But in that moment I felt like
555
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:18,440
my knees gave way.
And I collapsed on my knees
556
00:34:18,440 --> 00:34:20,920
sobbing and saying, I believe.
I believe.
557
00:34:20,960 --> 00:34:24,239
You are the Son of God.
I believe, I believe because at
558
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,239
the name of Jesus every knee
shall bend and every tongue
559
00:34:27,239 --> 00:34:30,520
confess that He is Lord to the
glory of God the Father.
560
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:34,480
When truth stands in front of
you, you cannot deny it.
561
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:38,760
I was expecting a philosophy or
some words that God was going to
562
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,560
reveal the truth about.
I was not prepared to face truth
563
00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,440
himself because truth is a
person and His name is Jesus
564
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,639
Christ of Nazareth.
I started going and that comes
565
00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:52,880
from a woman by the name of Ali
for God, glory, an admitted
566
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,760
Muslim and she had that
experience and she says, I know
567
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,600
that this is it.
I'm I'm going to be paying a
568
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,720
price for this one.
That's a tough call.
569
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:06,800
It takes a lot of courage.
You know, I, I, I, I've told
570
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:09,040
people this, you know, people
ask me, you know, why do you put
571
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:10,880
so much time and energy into the
Urantia book?
572
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:14,360
And I said because I had already
believed in Christ before I even
573
00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,760
started reading the Urantia
book.
574
00:35:15,760 --> 00:35:19,840
But once you read something or
once you are looking at
575
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,680
something and you know that it
has that ring of truth, you,
576
00:35:23,720 --> 00:35:25,600
you, I mean, what are you
supposed to do?
577
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,760
Say no, that's not true.
Even though my mind is accepted
578
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:33,360
that what I have in my
possession is has what, by what
579
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:36,760
other measure?
So, and, and this woman tells a
580
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,720
very courageous story.
I wonder, and it's not an old
581
00:35:39,720 --> 00:35:44,320
video, so it's fairly recent.
I wonder if you if you've had
582
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:48,720
that shared experience as well?
This is interesting because I
583
00:35:48,720 --> 00:35:52,400
think that every human being who
is self-conscious understands
584
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,520
exactly what this person is
talking about, no?
585
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,440
If you sit quietly for a moment
and just observe what's
586
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,880
happening inside your head,
you'll notice something rather
587
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,400
extraordinary.
There's this constant chatter
588
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:10,480
going on, an endless stream of
commentary, of narration, of
589
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,960
conversation with yourself,
about yourself.
590
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:16,160
It never stops.
Even right now, as you're
591
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,120
listening to me, there's
probably another voice in your
592
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,480
head commenting on what I'm
saying, agreeing or disagreeing,
593
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:26,640
planning what to think next,
wondering if you've understood
594
00:36:26,640 --> 00:36:30,040
correctly, perhaps even talking
about the fact that it's
595
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:32,800
talking.
This internal dialogue is so
596
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:36,480
constant, so pervasive, that
most people don't even notice it
597
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:38,480
anymore.
It's like the hum of a
598
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,840
refrigerator that you only hear
when someone points it out.
599
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,920
You know, that's from Richard
Victor Richmond post that.
600
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,560
And there's so much truth of
that because we know, or at
601
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,440
least from what the Urantia book
talks about, how the mechanism
602
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:56,960
of the mind works on a conscious
level, on a subconscious level,
603
00:36:56,960 --> 00:37:00,240
and even on a super conscious
level when our spirit fragment
604
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:05,280
is trying to influence and make
us more spiritually aroused, if
605
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,120
you will.
And so it is interesting how we
606
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:12,520
have that mechanism of the brain
that is super material and it's
607
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:16,720
not bound by time and it's not
bound by space, but it's there
608
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:20,800
and it's it's a if.
My question is, I don't think
609
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,240
many people even are aware or
are conscious of what their mind
610
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,480
is doing.
They almost are in autopilot.
611
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,320
That's sort of what I take from
this.
612
00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:33,320
Anyway, we've got time for one
more watch.
613
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,880
How Paul Rudd changes their mind
to There's actually a good
614
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:39,600
lesson in this if you guys.
Could go back in time and spend
615
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,040
the day of anyone from history,
who would you choose apart from
616
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,840
the Wright brothers?
Obviously anyone from history
617
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,760
who would Who would we choose?
That's a great.
618
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,160
Question.
I know my answer.
619
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,960
Go ahead.
Jesus Christ.
620
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,600
By the way, laugh all you want
and it seems like it would be a
621
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:59,360
wrong thing to say he existed.
Yeah, we know you.
622
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:01,920
So wouldn't you want to spend
some time with him and go?
623
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,080
Jesus, what's the deal?
Did you think of?
624
00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:06,000
What's the deal?
True.
625
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,000
Yeah, Yeah.
I mean, I probably, it sounds
626
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:10,560
great.
It is no genuinely fantastic.
627
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,760
Answer but and it.
Sounds like you say this and
628
00:38:12,760 --> 00:38:14,680
people think like, whoa, whoa,
whoa, you can't say that.
629
00:38:14,680 --> 00:38:17,120
And I'd say, well, why?
No, That's who I would do.
630
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,960
That's true.
That's why I called this episode
631
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:21,520
Jesus.
What's the deal?
632
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Now you know where the title
came from.
633
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:28,800
Listen, I'll be on a mini
vacation of sorts, traveling W
634
00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,480
visiting family and friends and
then we'll be back.
635
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,720
So if there's a little bit of a
delay, I'll try to do an episode
636
00:38:35,720 --> 00:38:39,920
while I'm traveling, but if I'm
not able to, we will reconvene
637
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:45,160
in the month of late.
May is probably when I'll be
638
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:47,760
back.
So hang tight and you're in
639
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:50,520
charge until I get back.
See you next time on the Rancho
640
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:51,520
Radio Podcast.
