Welcome to another edition of The Ranch Radio Podcast.
0:03
My name is Jim Watkins, I'm your host and in a minute we're going
0:07
to talk about the pre bestowal life of Jesus.
0:10
On August 21st your Rancho Book readers celebrate Jesus's
0:13
birthday as the Rancho book says that Jesus was born on August
0:18
21st, was at 7B C at noon. And if you want to give yourself
0:23
a real treat, and if you have never read the life and
0:26
teachings of Jesus, a great place to start is the very
0:30
beginning of what Israel was like, what Palestine was like.
0:35
You want to read about what life is like for the typical Jewish
0:39
boy. You'll give yourself a real
0:40
treat in reading those first initial months before Jesus was
0:46
born and then after. And I highly recommend that you
0:49
read it. Also, a couple things I want to
0:52
just comment about before we get to my main topic.
0:56
One is that I got kind of sick, so it was a real struggle for me
1:00
to do anything for about 3 weeks.
1:03
I got COVID and it really zapped me.
1:06
And also, and Speaking of things going on, you might want to
1:10
check your inbox or go over to the Aransha Foundation.
1:13
The UBS is getting ready to start a new online course.
1:18
Registration opens Monday, September 11th. 911 courses
1:23
begin the week after. And I encourage you to go, and
1:27
if you've never done a course, try it.
1:29
It's very cool. You get to read, you get to read
1:32
what other people write about and you learn a lot and you
1:35
really get some of the subject matter in the ranch book in a
1:38
big, big way. So registration again opens.
1:42
I got the e-mail but basically just go to the Ranch Book
1:44
Foundation and there on the front page visit the UBIS
1:49
website and it's in blue. Registration for the new
1:53
trimester opens Monday September 11th.
1:56
That's coming up. And then of course I mentioned
1:59
earlier Jesus's birthday and also someone sent me a link and
2:05
they say that they had a a I create a website that shows all
2:12
the different your rancher related websites and it's called
2:16
and and this woman, she sent me the link, it's called your
2:19
Rancher resources.com uranchiaresources.com.
2:24
I think that's right. I'll confirm that in just a
2:26
second. In fact, why don't I just do
2:29
that right now And voila, it is there uranchiaresources.com and
2:34
it's a compilation of all the different Uranchia related
2:38
websites. Even I'm on it, which is kind of
2:40
cool, but it's got, it's got the truth book page, the Uranchia
2:44
Foundation page, video and films that are produced by various
2:49
people in the Uranchia community.
2:51
Ways you can buy bling. They've got lessons that people
2:56
have posted up on YouTube and then it's just so great.
2:59
Isn't it wonderful? It's just this big community
3:02
that's growing right under everybody's noses.
3:05
I've never felt better about it than I do now.
3:08
So anyway, your ranch or resources.com.
3:11
Check it out. That was created by artificial
3:14
intelligence. Isn't that something maybe
3:17
guided by a midwear. Who knows?
3:20
Anyway, we're going to take a quick break and then we'll come
3:23
back and we'll talk about the pre bestowal life of Michael or
3:27
as you might know him as Jesus. We'll get to that in just a
3:31
second. Welcome back to the Rancho Radio
3:41
Podcast. I wanted to pick something that
3:46
was kind of cinematic to set the mood.
3:52
I tell you, every once in a while I'll have a person who
3:56
listens to this podcast and they give me recommendations on
4:00
papers to read. And there's, you know, 196
4:03
papers, right? And every one of them is
4:05
subdivided by at least six or seven, sometimes 10 chapters.
4:10
So there's plenty of material, but you know, it's got to hit
4:13
me, you know, like sometimes I something may not hit me or I
4:17
might be in the mood to read about something that I haven't
4:19
thought about in a long time. But I hadn't really read the
4:23
prebestolled papers in years. And the pre bestowal papers are
4:27
pretty awesome because basically what they tell us is what Jesus
4:33
was up to before he decided to make our planet his final
4:38
bestowal. So let me give you an example
4:44
and then I'll read a little bit and then we could talk a little
4:47
bit about it. But you know Jesus as a as a
4:51
creator son had to go through all of the experiences of the
4:56
life forms that he had created and he smartly and we were
5:02
talking about this in the previous podcast with Chuck.
5:06
He smartly it it wasn't really self-evident until his maybe 3rd
5:11
or 4th bestow that he had a particular plan which kind of
5:17
gave a clue to the fact that he would come to our world.
5:21
And he did that by accepting assignments on either universes
5:27
or constellations or mansion world that had been affected by
5:34
rebellion. So he took on some really tough
5:39
assignments and in a second I'll share with you just some
5:42
excerpts from the Rancho book that talk about this whole
5:45
thing. So in this episode we look at
5:48
the seven bestowals of Christ, including six previous pistols
5:51
before his last one, which impacted our tiny little planet
5:55
and gave us a permanent place among the heavens.
5:58
And there's so many interesting facets to this paper because it
6:02
really sets the stage for the final act of a creator son to
6:07
live as a human being and experience life as the lowest
6:11
member of his family of sons, the earthly children of God the
6:15
father. The Arancha book is a
6:17
revelation, and prior to this presentation this story has not
6:22
been told. So you'll never hear this story
6:24
of his seven previous pistols anywhere.
6:27
I don't even think they're even described by the Prophets.
6:31
You might find a morsel here or there about the rebellion in in
6:34
John and Revelation or Daniel or Ezekiel, but these are these are
6:40
his. This is a unique presentation
6:44
and so a few things to mention before we get into the paper,
6:47
which is going to be Paper 119. It's it's just an insightful
6:57
consideration when you think of the man Jesus.
7:01
And so he didn't even come to his full recognition of his
7:05
former self until until the day of baptism, as the Rancho Book
7:10
narrates, when the Spirit speaks and you know, over the river
7:16
Jordan, behold, my son in whom I am well pleased.
7:22
That's the the spirit of Michael and God giving substance to the
7:34
fact that Jesus has completed his final bestowal.
7:38
So why are these bestowals right?
7:40
The purpose of the creature incarnations is to enable such
7:43
creators to become wise, sympathetic, just, and
7:47
understanding sovereigns. I'm reading from the Rancho
7:50
Book. These divine sons are innately
7:53
just, but they become understandingly merciful as a
7:56
result of the successive bestowal experiences.
8:00
They are naturally merciful, but the experiences that they endure
8:04
make them merciful in new and additional ways.
8:08
These bestowals are the last steps in their education and
8:11
training for the sublime tasks of ruling the local universes in
8:16
divine righteousness and by just judgment.
8:19
So they're they're sort of done when the universers are young.
8:24
From paper 119. So this would be on page
8:28
thirteen O 8. Though numerous incidental
8:33
benefits accrue to the various world systems and
8:36
constellations, as well as the different orders of universe
8:39
intelligence is affected and benefited by these bestowals,
8:43
still they are primarily designed to complete the
8:47
personal training and universe education of a creator son
8:52
himself, and in this way such sons become intelligent and
8:57
understanding rulers. They come to know the various
9:00
groups over which they rule and exercise universe authority.
9:05
By living experience they possess themselves of practical
9:08
mercy, fair judgment, and the patients born of experiential
9:12
creature existence. All the inhabitants of
9:15
Salvington and those dwelling on the Constellation and system
9:19
headquarters in the world's therein assembled about their
9:22
respective receiving stations for universe intelligence,
9:26
hoping to get some word of the mission of the whereabouts of
9:29
the Creator's son. And they're saying that the
9:34
members of of Michael's universe, Salvington, Nebadon
9:38
and Salvington being the capital, they're aware of these
9:43
bestowals. And but they don't know them in
9:45
real time. They only hear that the Michael
9:48
departure was made and then silence.
9:52
And then they wait until that bestowal mission is over and
9:55
then Michael returns to his rightful position.
9:58
And then we hear the stories. So they describe it as this day
10:02
as this. Not until the third day after
10:05
Michael's departure was any message, and this is his first
10:08
bestowal. Was there any message of
10:11
possible significance received on this day A communication was
10:15
registered that went like this. At noon today there appeared on
10:20
the receiving field of this world a strange Melchezidic sun,
10:25
not of our number, but wholly like our order.
10:28
And this is about all that appears on the records of
10:31
Salvington regarding the first Michael bestowal.
10:36
This record is preserved in a simple temple which now occupies
10:40
the foreground of the home of the Father Melchezidic, the
10:43
first Melchezidic of Nebadon, and it comprises the narration
10:49
of the service of this transitory Melchezidic son in
10:53
connection with his assignment to 24 missions of universe
10:57
emergency. Now we had our own Melchezidic.
11:01
We know him from the Rancho Book as Machaventa, Melchezidic.
11:07
In other religions, the Mormon religion, he's simply referred
11:10
to as Melchezidic. And of course the Hebrew faith
11:13
and the Islamic faith and Melchezidic is a major spiritual
11:18
personality. A lot of Christians don't know
11:20
much about Melchezidic because he's mentioned only a few times
11:24
in the Old Testament, but he's also mentioned in the New
11:27
Testament and in fact there's one reference made to Jesus
11:30
himself being on the order of the Melchezidics.
11:34
So Michael's first act as a bestowal son, his first bestowal
11:39
act is to assume the personality of a Melchizedek and then he
11:44
goes about and he is assigned 24 missions of universe emergency.
11:51
So he was no doubt right up front, right smack dab head on,
11:57
going into rebellion territory, going into the front and and
12:01
learning really what it's like under the harshest of
12:04
conditions. And I can only imagine what that
12:07
could be. And then it reads, and that is
12:10
all I am permitted to tell you, of the first bestowal of
12:13
Michael. We of course fully understand
12:16
that this strange melchesidic who so mysteriously served with
12:20
the melchesidics a billion years ago, was none other than the
12:25
Incarnate Michael on the mission of his first bestowal.
12:28
Now for you Christians out there, what they're telling you
12:31
is that we saw the last bestole, but the first bestole goes back
12:36
in time a billion years. Try to take that time frame into
12:42
consideration. Bestole #2 they described for
12:46
almost 150 million years after the Melchizedek bestole of
12:51
Michael. All went well in the universe of
12:53
Nebadon when trouble began to brew in System 11 of
12:57
Constellation 37. This trouble involved a
13:00
misunderstanding by Alan and Andex Son, a System Sovereign
13:05
much like our Lucifer, which had been adjudicated by the
13:09
Constellation Fathers the most highs and approved by the
13:13
Faithful of Days, the Paradise Counselors to that
13:16
Constellation. But the protesting system
13:19
Sovereign was not fully reconciled to the verdict.
13:24
He may be felt slighted in some way.
13:26
After more than 100 years of dissatisfaction, he led his
13:30
associates in one of the most widespread and disastrous
13:33
rebellions against the sovereignty of the Creator Sun
13:36
ever instigated in the universe of Nebadon, A rebellion long
13:41
since adjudicated and ended by the action of the Ancients of
13:45
Days on uversa. So in Constellation 37, System
13:50
11 in System 11 there was a rebellion.
13:54
This rebel system sovereign Lutensia reigned supreme on his
13:57
headquarters planet for more than 20 years of standard Nevid
14:00
on time where upon the most highs with the approval from you
14:04
versa our central universe capital ordered his segregation
14:08
and requisitioned the Salvington rulers for the designation of a
14:12
new system sovereign. So the higher ups said we need
14:16
we need to bring in a new system sovereign Litentia you're out.
14:21
Michael shows up three days after this unexplained leave,
14:26
taking their appeared among the Reserve Corps of the Primary
14:29
Land and and ex sons of Nebadon, a new and unknown member
14:33
certified by Emmanuel of Salvington, directing that this
14:37
new son be assigned to System 11 of Constellation 37 as the
14:43
successor of the Depot's Lutentia, and with full
14:47
authority as Acting System Sovereign pending the
14:49
appointment of a new Sovereign. So for more than 17 years of
14:53
universe time, this strange an unknown, unknown temporary ruler
14:58
administered the affairs and widely adjudicated the
15:01
difficulties of this confused and demoralized local system.
15:07
Kind of similar to ours. How many, how many planets in
15:10
our I think 37 in our system of 619 fell to the rebellion of
15:15
Lucifer? Well, in System 11 they don't
15:22
specify, but they say that the system itself is demoralized.
15:26
And this new land and and ex son that they brought in, He was
15:30
beloved by all the system and adored by his fellows of all
15:34
groups of land and and ex sons. His departure was not an
15:38
unceremonious a great celebration was arranged when he
15:42
left the system headquarters. Even his airing predecessor
15:46
Lutentia sent this message to this Lannanandex son that we all
15:52
know now was Michael and Lieutenant said, just and
15:56
righteousness or righteous are in you in all your ways.
16:00
While I continue the rejection of the paradise rule, I am
16:04
compelled to confess that you are a just and merciful
16:08
administrator. That's what he said to Michael.
16:11
Or the Lannanandex son that basically replaced him.
16:16
You know, Lieutenantia mad as hell, but they couldn't be mad
16:19
at this land and Antex Sun. And they And you know what?
16:22
I'm glad they celebrated that bestow, because we didn't give
16:25
him that honor. Bestow #3, the life carriers on
16:30
planet 217 and system 87 and constellation 61 for the
16:36
dispatch to their assistance of a material sun.
16:40
That's what they needed, a material sun.
16:42
Now this planet was situated in a system of inhabitant worlds
16:46
where another system Sovereign, had gone astray, the second such
16:50
rebellion in all of Nebadon up to that time.
16:54
And so on the third day thereafter there appeared
16:57
unannounced on the headquarters world of System 87 and
17:01
Constellation 61 a strange material Son.
17:05
Immediately the acting system sovereign appointed this new and
17:09
mysterious material son, acting planetary Prince of World 217.
17:14
And this designation was at once confirmed by the most highs of
17:18
Constellation 61. I think it's interesting that
17:21
they give the specificity of these of these numbers.
17:26
I I think what they're trying to weave is a conception of how the
17:31
system is organized by system, by constellation and by by minor
17:39
sectors and major sectors. And what it does is, I think it
17:42
helps the, the intellectual apparatus of the brain sort of
17:46
build a framework by which all of this action is taking place.
17:50
I think it's very clever. Now some might say, it sounds
17:53
like, you know, something that Isaac Asimov would come up with.
17:56
Maybe it does, but it's a very well constructed story.
18:01
And so it continues on. It says, thus did this unique
18:04
material son begin his difficult career on a quarantine world of
18:09
secession and rebellion, similar to our own Adam, Adam and Eve.
18:14
Although they you know, this material Son didn't actually
18:18
start the problem, but he did inherit a pretty bad situation.
18:23
Located in a beleaguered system without any direct communication
18:26
with the outside universe. Working alone for a whole
18:29
generation of planetary time. This emergency material sun
18:34
affected the repentance and reclamation of the defaulting
18:37
planetary Prince and his entire staff and witnessed the
18:41
restoration of the planet to the loyal service of the Paradise
18:45
rule as established in the local universe.
18:48
So he restored the circuits. You know, imagine if Jesus or
18:53
Michael and his bestow had come to our world as a material son
18:57
and had replaced Adam and Eve and set things right.
19:02
In due time a material son and daughter arrived on this
19:05
rejuvenated and redeemed world and Michael took leave.
19:11
So a brief recap. From Paper 119 we learned that
19:14
the bestowals of Michael as a Mccasidic son, then as a Lana
19:18
Nandak son, and next as a material son, are all equally
19:23
mysterious and beyond explanation.
19:25
In each instance, he appeared suddenly and as a fully
19:29
developed individual of the bestowal group.
19:33
And it writes, each of these missions was followed by an age
19:36
of increasing service and loyalty among all celestial
19:40
intelligences of universe origin, while each succeeding
19:46
bestowal age was characterized by advancement and improvement
19:50
in all methods of universe administration and in all
19:53
techniques of government. So Michael came, he saw, he made
19:59
better, he came, and his impact and influence was long lasting.
20:05
The 4th bestowal we learned from page 1313.
20:10
It was one of. It was.
20:13
It was at the end of one of the periodic millennial roll calls
20:17
of Uversa, our Central Universe headquarters, that Michael
20:21
proceeded to place the government of Nebadon in the
20:24
hands of Emanuel and Gabriel. And of course, recalling what
20:28
had happened in times past following such action, we all
20:32
prepared to witness Michael's disappearance on his fourth
20:35
mission of Bestowal, and we were not long kept waiting.
20:40
On the third day after his bestowal disappearance, we
20:42
observed in the universe broadcast the unannounced
20:45
arrival of an unknown serophone. The serophone tests out as
20:50
belonging to the supreme order of the angels of a local
20:54
universe and has already been assigned to the core of the
20:57
teaching Counselors. Michael's absence from
21:01
Salvington during this time the seraphic bestowal for a period
21:04
of over 40 standard universe years.
21:08
During this time he was attached as a Seraphic teaching
21:10
counselor, which you might denominate a private secretary
21:15
to 26 different master teachers functioning on 22 different
21:20
worlds. His last or terminal assignment
21:24
was as counselor and helper attached to a bestowal mission
21:28
of a Trinity Teacher Son on World 462 and System 84 of
21:34
Constellation 3. Never throughout the seven years
21:39
of this assignment was this Trinity Teacher Son wholly
21:43
persuaded as to the identity of his Seraphic associate, but
21:47
everyone knew it was Michael on one of his bestow missions, this
21:52
time as a supreme Seraphim, 5th bestow, the record reads.
21:56
There arrived today and unannounced and unnumbered
22:00
ascended Pilgrim of mortal origin from the universe of
22:03
Nebadon, certified by Emmanuel of Solvington and accompanied by
22:07
Gabriel of Nebadon. This unidentified being presents
22:12
the status of a true spirit and has been received into our
22:16
fellowship. If you should visit U versa
22:20
today, you would hear the recounting of the days when even
22:23
Todd sojourn there. This particular and unknown
22:27
Pilgrim of time and space being known on U versa by that name.
22:32
And this ascending mortal at least a superb personality in
22:37
the exact likeness of the spirit stage of the ascending mortals,
22:42
lived and functioned on Uversa for a period of 11 years.
22:46
That was Michael's 5th bestow as a supreme spirit of an ascending
22:51
mortal. He lived there on Uversa 7 years
22:56
and now we come to the 6th bestow from paper, page 1315 of
23:01
the Rancho Book. Michael appeared on the
23:03
headquarters of Constellation 5 as the fullfledged Marantia
23:07
mortal of ascending status. I regret that I am forbidden to
23:12
reveal the details of this unnumbered Marantia mortals
23:15
career, for it was one of the most extraordinary and amazing
23:19
epics and Michael's bestowal experience not even accepting
23:23
his dramatic and tragic sojourn on Urantia.
23:27
But among the many restrictions imposed upon me in accepting
23:31
this Commission is 1 which forbids my undertaking to unfold
23:36
the details of this wonderful career of Michael as a miracha
23:40
mortal of Endantum. That's the place of his sojourn.
23:46
When Michael returned from this miracha bestowal, it was
23:49
apparent to all of us that our Creator had become a fellow
23:52
creature, that this universe sovereign was also the friend
23:56
and sympathetic helper of even the lowest form of created
23:59
intelligence in his realms. We had noted this progressive
24:03
acquirement of the creature's viewpoint and universe
24:06
administration before this, for it had been gradually appearing,
24:10
but it became more apparent after the completion of the
24:13
miracha mortal bestowal, even still more so after his return
24:18
from the career of the carpenter's son on Urancha and
24:23
then paper page 1316, the 7th and final bestowal for 10s of
24:28
thousands of years. We all look forward to the 7th
24:31
and final bestowal of Michael. Gabriel had taught us that the
24:35
terminal bestowal would be made in the likeness of mortal flesh,
24:39
but we were wholly ignorant of the time, place, and manner of
24:42
this culminating adventure. The public announcement that
24:46
Michael had selected Uransa as the theater for his final
24:50
bestowal was made shortly after we learned about the default of
24:54
Adam and Eve. And thus, for more than 35,000
24:58
years your world occupied a very conspicuous place in the
25:03
councils of the entire universe. There was the fullest universe
25:07
publicity of all that had transpired on your small but
25:11
highly honored world. Joshua bin Joseph, the Jewish
25:15
baby was conceived and was born into the world, just as all
25:18
other babies before and since, except that this particular baby
25:22
was the incarnation of Michael of Nebadon, a divine son of
25:26
paradise and the Creator of all this local universe of things
25:31
and beings. And there it reads, the Bestowal
25:36
mission, helps us understand a few things about our universe,
25:39
that Jesus is a sympathetic son of God, and he knows through
25:43
experience each of the levels of existence from Melchizedek all
25:46
the way down to the life of a human being.
25:49
His Bestowal also helps us to understand the latter up because
25:53
we will no doubt under his tutelage and ministry achieve
25:58
some of those sonship levels will never become a Mount
26:01
Kasidic or a Lana and Nandak Son, but will we become a an
26:05
ascending mortal and will become more spiritualized as time goes
26:09
on? The whole of the Bestowal
26:11
experience outlines how Michael has organized his universe and
26:15
it perfectly executes the story as it is laid out from papers
26:19
1-2 and three of the Rancho book along with Part 4.
26:22
The life and teachings of Jesus completes the storyline of the
26:26
entire revelation. It completes the picture.
26:29
And so now I will conclude with this final and I hope that
26:33
you've enjoyed this presentation of paper 119 and I wish to make
26:38
one more point before we conclude this episode.
26:41
If you notice in the first few Bestowals, we want to put a
26:45
certain amount of emphasis on the fact that Jesus was
26:48
preparing himself for his 7th bestowal and must have had the
26:52
foresight to recognize the experience that he would need to
26:56
acquire in order to deal justly and with mercy.
27:01
As he entered upon his 7th bestowal on Urantia which it had
27:05
been scarred by a defaulting material son and daughter, a
27:09
defaulting apostate planetary Prince, and a system sovereign
27:14
who had rebelled. So in this way Jesus had built
27:17
up experiential knowledge and wisdom that would aid him later
27:23
in navigating through his mortal life here on our world.
27:27
From paper and page 1318, it required almost 1 billion years
27:32
of your ranch of time to complete the bestow career of
27:35
Michael and to effect the final establishment of his supreme
27:39
authority in the universe of his own creation.
27:42
Michael was born a creator, educated and administrator,
27:46
trained and executive. But he was required to earn his
27:50
sovereignty by experience and thus has your little world
27:54
become known throughout all Nebadon as the arena where in
27:59
Michael completed the experience which is required of every
28:03
paradise creator, son before he is given unlimited control and
28:07
direction of the universe of his own making.
28:11
As you ascend the local universe, you'll learn more
28:14
about the ideals of the personalities concerned in
28:18
Michael's previous bestowals. And there completes our
28:22
examination of paper 119 and I hope you've enjoyed this
28:26
presentation. Don't forget you can always
