WE WILL CONTINUE our series aimed at analyzing and appraising the characteristic patterns of epochal revelation. Neal Waldrop will continue to moderate Topic 1 of Revelation Revealed, an imaginative and innovative document by Neal (247 pages) intended to foster active and interactive discussion of many key principles that the revelators have enshrined in The Urantia Book.
THE FOURTH EPOCHAL REVELATION, the bestowal on Urantia of our beloved Creator Son, Michael of Nebadon, in the human form of Jesus of Nazareth is where we'll begin episode 4 of this series. We will start by reading and analyzing the bestowal commission that Immanuel gave to Michael just before he left Salvington, including Immanuel’s instructions that Michael should “in every possible manner seek to avoid the formal establishment of an organized cult, a crystallized religion, or a segregated ethical grouping of mortal beings.” Quite to the contrary, Immanuel assured him, “Your life and teachings are to become the common heritage of all religions and all peoples” [Mantutia Melchizedek, 1330:1 / 120:3.6]. Participants will also review the summary of Jesus’ teachings at Urmia that the Midwayer Commission provides us in Paper 134, while considering why the revelators found it necessary to adapt what Jesus actually said. If time permits, participants will also analyze the fourth epochal revelation in terms of its purpose and function, seeking to understand how it relates to the other four epochal revelations that have occurred thus far on Urantia and to the standard sequence of epochal revelations that a Mighty Messenger describes in Paper 52.
