The Second Coming of Jesus · Urantia Radio

0:00
Well, I've got a good show for you.
0:01
We're going to talk about a lot of stuff having to do with the
0:05
end of days and what the apostles were taught and what
0:10
many people are saying today about the end times and how all
0:13
this fits into the second coming of Christ and we're going to
0:17
delve right into it in this episode of the Rancher Radio
0:20
podcast. Stay tuned.
0:22
And of course a word from our sponsor and we'll be right back.
0:30
Welcome to another edition of your Rancho, Radio podcast, get
0:35
underway. Just a second.
0:41
Some, I can't take this side by side.
0:47
A professional life Everlasting. I shall not as divine presence.
0:55
Won't snore Fest? What do I do?
1:00
Into the valley of uncertainty or send up into the worlds of
1:04
death though. I though I triumphed in the
1:11
choirs of light or falter in the solitary places of the Spheres,
1:16
you're good spiritual Ministry and your glorious, angel will
1:21
comfortably recoil of it more that at the end, that's Tom
1:25
Outerbridge and the Lord's Prayer and he was kind enough.
1:30
As he arranged a book reader to send me a copy of that which
1:32
I'll again play at the end. I just wanted to give you a
1:35
brief introduction to Tom and I don't know him well and I
1:39
appreciate him reaching out and touching base with me and being
1:43
generous enough to send what I think is a pretty good song.
1:46
And so his back story is that in 1984, he broke his neck and he
1:54
became quadriplegic And so he has learned to adjust even with
1:59
that hardship in his life. And, and he loves making music
2:05
and I'll put this up on the Rancher radio.
2:10
Dotnet website if you want to download it and have at it.
2:16
Maybe if you're a musician and you want to add some background
2:20
or or just listen to it and get inspired Tom has given me the
2:24
permission to share with the world.
2:27
And so that's what I want to do because it's so good.
2:29
And again I'll play it at the end of the current episode here.
2:32
So I also want to apologize, I'm usually more Distant and making
2:40
sure that I have a new podcast every week, but I recently
2:43
started on a new project, which takes a lot of time and I don't
2:48
want to ever Rush a Urantia Radio podcast just to create a
2:52
your answer Radio podcast. I have to have like certain
2:55
things that inspire me and want me to share the book.
3:01
And so I'm a little late, but I hope to get back on track and I
3:04
hope that you're busy during the summer and maybe you're not
3:08
noticing. And so anyway, my point is, is
3:11
that I appreciate you stopping by.
3:12
And I apologize if you were expecting a podcast sooner
3:15
because I'm usually more consistent.
3:17
I usually have one a week at least sometimes too, but as of
3:22
late with the new project, you know, takes a little longer to
3:26
get around to doing it. You know, you got family and
3:29
vacations and everything else, you know?
3:30
It is, I'm been involved with Gabriel Ryan Berg over at the
3:35
metaverse. He's got some interesting things
3:38
going on, and I keep saying, I'm going to get you on, I'm Gonna
3:41
Get You On, but, you know, he's in Israel and I'm here and
3:44
sometimes it's not easy, but he's got some exciting things
3:47
going on with, with that. And we'll, hopefully grab him at
3:50
some point and get an update on what's going on with the
3:53
metaverse. Also, I will hopefully be able
3:58
to have on a woman. The name of Donna D'Angelo, and
4:03
she is an amazing person from what I can tell and thanks to
4:08
Byron boletos, A Familiar guests to these podcasts for turning me
4:13
on to her Institute of Christ Consciousness.
4:17
And you can find out more about what she does.
4:19
But essentially what what really got me excited is a her work in
4:26
women, who love Jesus. The untold story of the woman's
4:30
Evangelistic core and I never really gave it much thought.
4:35
She's written a book about the Untold Stories of the 12 female
4:39
Apostles commissioned by Jesus. Now In a few minutes this is a
4:46
good example of what differentiates the Urantia book
4:50
from other books including the Bible not that it tries to take
4:55
over the Bible or any other religious texts.
4:58
It is unique in its own presentation for reasons, I'll
5:02
explain shortly but this is just one of those reasons, one of the
5:05
great things about the the Urantia book and the fourth part
5:09
of the book, The Life, and teachings of Jesus.
5:12
Is it through so much. Much more.
5:13
We find that there's so much more to these stories.
5:18
That we all who've been grown up in a Jo Christian household or a
5:23
culture. Most of us are familiar with
5:26
some of the stories, you know, Jesus running away from his
5:29
parents and you know when he ends up in a temple and he's,
5:34
you know, talking to the smart religious leaders and his dad
5:37
comes and takes him and says, how could you put us in that
5:40
much, you know, worried. How did you make us worry so
5:44
much about you and, and that's when Jesus utters, I'm About
5:48
doing about my father's business.
5:51
Well, the ranch a book that story is expounded.
5:54
It's just, it's 10 times bigger. And there's a lot more to learn
5:58
from that the other stories. The Last Supper, we all are
6:01
familiar with the breaking of the bread.
6:02
It's so richly a part of our religious culture, but there's
6:06
so much more that goes on. And and that's the amazing thing
6:10
about the Rancho book is that it really does bring Jesus to life.
6:17
And one aspect of that, I think is dotted and D'Angelo has
6:22
tapped into is, we really don't know that.
6:26
Jesus was really the first Historical figure that gave
6:31
women, their respect that they deserve.
6:34
And he tried to teach his Apostles.
6:36
Unfortunately some of it a lot of it got lost over the
6:40
centuries but you know the apostles we all know about the
6:44
12 male Apostles. But what about the women that
6:47
supported Jesus and and who did so under enormous pressure?
6:53
Because women were second-class citizens even in Israel or the
6:58
Palestine during the times of Jesus but Jesus was really a
7:02
progressive person. Melody that regard he taught and
7:05
he treated women with the same respect that he treated and
7:09
afforded men. And there's some great stories
7:11
in there. And so, we learn about, like,
7:14
for example, Elizabeth will learn about Joanna, and Martha.
7:20
Jesus, sisters, Mary of Magdalene, we all know about
7:24
her, but what's her real story? Milka, I think I pronounced that
7:29
right. Am I lch a milka?
7:31
Rachel Ruth rep. Rebecca, Rebecca was, the, I
7:37
think would have been Jesus girlfriend in an, in what would
7:41
consider teenage years? She had a crush on him.
7:44
And that story is elegantly told in the Rancho book and so I am
7:49
going to be hopefully having Donna on, so she could talk
7:52
about What her what her book is all about and what inspired her
7:57
to do it but you know, today's female tonight to today's modern
8:03
woman wrapped up and and in women power and assertion of
8:09
Rights and demanding to be treated equally.
8:13
They would I think be very surprised to learn from the
8:17
Urantia book, just how Progressive was in his attitude
8:20
towards women and I put that in the plus column, don't you?
8:26
All right, so before we begin with what I, what I want to talk
8:29
about, I want to read today's thought of the day, because it
8:31
kind of plays into it early. Early evolution is characterized
8:36
by the survival of the biologically fit, but later
8:40
civilizations are better promoted by intelligent,
8:44
cooperation, understanding, fraternity, and spiritual
8:47
Brotherhood. And so with that, I want to be
8:52
giving a lot of thought to that section.
8:55
In the Urantia book, paper 7176, where there's a lot of
9:01
discussion going on about the the end times.
9:04
Jesus is coming back, the destruction of Jerusalem and it
9:10
is no doubt today. A lot of Christians, a lot of
9:14
people who are religious Faith, really do believe that we are in
9:17
historic times, something is about to happen.
9:20
No. We're seeing a lot of evil in
9:22
the world, more than maybe more than we ever did.
9:26
And that Pavel probably is because technology allows us to
9:29
see that. And when we have more than a
9:32
dozen 24-hour news channels, now they got to get their news, they
9:35
got a report on something. And here we are all flipping
9:40
through our phones. Trying to get the latest news
9:42
from social media, so no doubt, we're seeing more and
9:46
consequently, I think we're seeing more evil.
9:50
And then also you have social media that promotes evil.
9:53
We found out this week that I think the second most popular
9:57
third most popular social media app.
10:01
Was actually being used openly to promote pedophilia, which is
10:08
I was shocked when I heard that. And the news media didn't seem
10:13
too bothered by it or at least they didn't report very much on
10:16
it. But that's just an example of,
10:18
you know, we're seeing, you know, the human trafficking
10:20
issue. There's a new movie coming out
10:22
with Jim Caviezel where he talks, where he exposes the
10:26
truth about how much human trafficking.
10:28
I mean there's no question that this world is going through an
10:31
ideological change. And morality is being judged it
10:39
because morality based on Whose morality on Whose Customs on
10:43
Whose ideas. Yeah, you know and with that the
10:47
anticipates of that is we're having new discussions and
10:50
conversations about sexuality what's appropriate?
10:54
What is an appropriate children are involved now in this
10:57
discussion and then you know there's also materialism you
11:03
know, materialism as I Define it is who is actually going to have
11:08
the dominant culture moving forward.
11:10
Now that we're all connected by The Internet of Things who will
11:14
be the Dominant players of civilization, who will set the
11:18
tone for the next to 300 years. You know, we look back and we
11:22
can see that when the colonies formed and broke off from
11:27
England, the United States ended up being, you know, the tone
11:33
Setter for the next two, three hundred years and the culture of
11:36
the West has certainly had a tremendous impact on everything
11:40
we can think of about civilization.
11:44
But what about the next 200 years who's going to be in
11:47
control? Then we'll be a materialistic
11:49
world. Will it be a fragmented world?
11:51
Will it be a world full of paganism and maybe perhaps more
11:56
criminality mean we're on the precipice of something big and
12:00
that's part and parcel why? I think the ranch a book was
12:03
presented at this time, even even Byron mentioned, it
12:06
numerous times in his first book and his new book that we just
12:09
talked about, the ranch will maybe a response to that
12:13
critical juncture. That Americans and the rest of
12:15
the world find ourselves in. And because a lot of people do
12:20
believe that these are the end times and something big is about
12:23
to happen what they're not looking at.
12:26
Is the fact that the big thing already did happen.
12:27
We got a revelation in 1935 and it was printed in 1955.
12:34
And recently I was I had written a Blog about atheism and the
12:40
rise of atheism and what causes atheism and how could, how could
12:43
we, how could we get the atheist to shake him and say, look,
12:46
you're wrong. There is something. and of
12:49
course, the response I got from the article was from an atheist
12:51
who said just more playing on words, You know, and I took
12:58
offense to that. Because why am I wasting my time
13:00
trying to get an atheist to believe in the Rancho book, what
13:03
do I care? Well, according to the master,
13:08
we're supposed to care. Those are the people that need
13:12
to be saved saved from themselves from Eternal
13:16
non-existence. I'm maybe they'll get a chance
13:19
on man Sonia one or two to change their mind.
13:23
But I always seem curious about people who, You know, who just
13:29
don't have anywhere in their heart for this belief that
13:33
there's something greater Beyond them.
13:35
And that it's not just all about the Here.
13:37
And Now, That's part of the reason I think that the ranch a
13:42
book appeals to me is because it does answer.
13:46
All of those questions questions that I know my fellow brothers
13:49
and sisters have but they're too hard headed.
13:53
They don't want to take the chance to open up this 2000 page
13:57
book and and and read inside what it has to say.
14:03
And the Christians, they're happy with what they've got.
14:05
They're not going to change anything.
14:08
Although, there's a new book out by Miles, Lucas who's a pastor,
14:12
I think, and he talks about how even Christianity is being
14:16
compromised by political correctness or what we commonly
14:19
call, woken has the adhan gelt the Angelic.
14:22
In church of Africa, the entire country, continent of Africa has
14:27
broken off from the church of England because the Church of
14:30
England is preaching things like homosexuality.
14:32
Homosexuality is. Okay, transgender, Ms. Okay,
14:38
abortions, we won't go there and many conservative churches in.
14:43
Wait a minute, These three. These are important tenets that
14:47
we have to hold onto there. Has to be rules and so it's a
14:54
tough time to be a religious person.
14:55
These days you're going to get it from somewhere.
14:58
If you're Christian, you're going to get attacked by the
15:00
left. If you're a non-Christian you're
15:02
going to get attacked by people who, you know, think that you're
15:05
crazy or evil. So, no doubt.
15:09
There's a lot of Endtime conversation going on, but let
15:12
me read to you. From Matthew 25:14.
15:16
This Is The New International Version there.
15:19
This is pertains to what the master talked about in the ranch
15:24
a book in 176. Jesus, because Peter had asked
15:27
him, you know, when are you coming back?
15:31
You tell us, you're coming back, tell us when that wins, when is
15:34
that going to happen? So we're going to talk about the
15:37
second coming and the Matthew version from 2514 through 30 is
15:42
relatively short, it's a page and a half.
15:44
Half. And and I'm going to read it to
15:47
you. So we'll start with the parable
15:49
of the bags of gold, from the NIV of Matthew 25:14.
15:54
The New Testament again, it will be like a man going on a journey
15:59
who called his servants. And this is a Jesus giving a
16:02
parable and he's trying to explain the nature of his second
16:07
coming to his apostles. And so Jesus says, again, it
16:12
will be like a man going on a journey who called the servants
16:15
and entrusted, the wealth to them, to one, he gave five bags
16:19
of gold to another two bags, into another one bag each.
16:22
According to his ability, then he went on his journey.
16:25
The man who had received the five bags of gold when it once
16:28
and put his money to work and gained five bags.
16:31
More. So also the one with two bags of
16:34
gold gained two more but the man who would receive one bag, dug a
16:39
hole and hid his master's money. After a long time, the master of
16:45
those servants returned and settled accounts with them, the
16:48
man who had received the five bags of gold.
16:50
Brought the other five said Master, he said you entrusted me
16:53
with five bags of gold. See I have gained five more His
16:57
master replied. Well done, good.
16:59
And faithful servant you have been faithful with a few things.
17:02
I will put you in charge of many things come and share your
17:05
Masters happiness. The man with two bags of gold
17:09
also came Master. He said you entrusted me with
17:12
two bags of gold. See I have gained two more his
17:17
master replied. Well done, good.
17:19
And faithful servant you have been faithful with a few things.
17:21
I will put you in charge of many things come and share your
17:25
Masters happiness. Then the man who had received
17:28
one bag of gold came Master. He said, I knew that you are a
17:33
hard man harvesting where you have not sown and Gathering
17:37
where Not scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and
17:42
hit your gold in the ground. See, here's what belongs to you.
17:47
And his master replied, you Wicked, lazy servant.
17:51
So, you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather
17:55
where I have not scattered seed. Well, then you should have put
17:58
my money on deposit with the bankers so that when I returned,
18:03
I would at least have some of it back with interest.
18:07
And in the master continue. So take the bag of gold from him
18:10
and give it to the one who has ten bags.
18:12
For whoever has will be given more and they will have an
18:16
abundance. Whoever does not have even that
18:19
which they have will be taken from them.
18:22
And throw that worthless servant outside into the darkness where
18:26
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
18:29
So that's the story from Matthew 25. 14:30 the 14 to 30.
18:37
So now let us read from paper, 176 the expanded version and
18:41
this illustrates why the Urantia book, sometimes can be an added
18:49
expounded story that we can gather so much more meaning.
18:52
And, and remember Matthews account wasn't for Matthew.
18:59
It was from one of Matthew's, you know, students, or it came
19:03
from Luke. There's a story about how this
19:06
story, this particular story that I'm sharing with you and
19:09
your Rancho book and we may get to it and it and it explains how
19:14
this particular story got kind of garbled in the New Testament
19:18
version. It got edited and it was
19:21
partially, right, but not quite accurate.
19:24
I mean, the essence of the story still comes through with Jesus
19:27
trying to teach is still very relevant.
19:29
But listen to the difference of the way the stories are told On
19:33
several occasions. Jesus had made statements, which
19:36
led his hearers to infer that while he intended presently to
19:39
leave this world. He would most certainly return
19:42
to consummate the work of the Heavenly Kingdom, as the
19:46
conviction grew on his followers, that he was going to
19:49
leave them. And after he had departed from
19:52
this world, it was only natural for all believers delay, fast,
19:55
hold upon these promises to return, the doctrine of the
19:59
second coming of Christ us became an early Incorporated.
20:02
Get into the teachings of the Christians and almost every
20:06
subsequent generation of disciples has devoutly believe
20:10
this truth and has confidently look forward to his some time
20:13
coming. If they were to part with her
20:17
master and teacher, how much more did these first disciples?
20:20
And the apostles grasp, that that this promise to return and
20:25
they lost no time in associating, the predicted
20:28
destruction of Jerusalem with this promised second coming, and
20:33
they continued. Thus, to interpret his words,
20:35
notwithstanding that throughout this evening of instruction and
20:38
Mount Mount Olivet. The master took particular plans
20:42
to prevent just such a mistake So for Matthew 24, which is
20:47
where we get the story. Here is the version as it's told
20:50
in the ranch a book. In further answers to Peters
20:54
question. Jesus said, why do you still
20:55
look for the son of man to sit upon the throne of David and
20:59
expect that this material dreams of the Jews will be fulfilled.
21:04
Have I not told you all these years at?
21:06
My kingdom is not of this world, the things which you now look
21:09
down upon are coming to an end. But this will be a new beginning
21:13
out of which the gospel of the Kingdom will go to all of the
21:16
world and this salvation will spread to All Peoples.
21:21
And when the kingdom shall have come to, its full fruition be
21:24
assured. That the Father in heaven will
21:26
not fail to visit you with an enlarged, revelation of Truth
21:30
and an enhanced demonstration of righteousness.
21:34
Even as he is already bestowed upon this world him who became
21:38
the Prince of Darkness and then Adam who was followed by
21:41
Melchizedek and in these days the son of man And so will my
21:46
father continue to manifest his mercy and show forth his love
21:50
even to the dark and evil world. So also will I after my father
21:55
has invested me with all power and authority, continue to
21:59
follow your fortunes and to guide me efforts of the Kingdom.
22:02
By the presence of my spirit who shall shortly, be poured out
22:07
upon All Flesh. Even though I shall thus be
22:10
present with you in spirit, I also promised that I will
22:14
someday Um, time return to this world where I have lived this
22:19
life In the Flesh and achieve the experience of
22:22
simultaneously. Revealing God to man and leading
22:25
man to God. Very soon.
22:28
Must I leave you and take up the work of the father has entrusted
22:32
to my hands but be of good courage.
22:34
For I will sometime return in the meantime.
22:37
My spirit of truth of a universe shall comfort and guide you.
22:42
You behold me now and weakness and in the flesh.
22:45
But when I returned, it shall be with power, and in the spirit,
22:49
the eyes of the flesh beholds, the son of man in the flesh, but
22:53
only the eyes of the spirit will hold the son of man, glorified
22:56
by the father and appearing on Earth in his own time.
23:01
But the times of the reappearing of the son of man are known,
23:04
only in the council's of paradise, not even the angels of
23:08
heaven know when this will occur.
23:11
However, you should understand that when this Gospel of the
23:14
Kingdom shall have been proclaimed to all of the world
23:18
for the Salvation of all peoples.
23:20
And when the fullness of the age has come to pass, the father
23:23
will send you another dispensational bestowal or else.
23:26
The son of man will return to a judge the age.
23:31
So he's saying that there's going to have to be a time when
23:35
the world becomes more spiritual before this, next Revelation
23:39
occurs, whether it be another bestowal son, or he himself, and
23:43
he's making that claim. That I'm not sure how this is
23:46
going to play out. This will ultimately decided in
23:49
Paradise on the Council of paradise.
23:53
The Trinity will have a say in this.
23:57
And that's concerning the travail of Jerusalem about which
24:01
I have spoken to you. Even this generation will not
24:04
pass away until my words are fulfilled.
24:07
But concerning the times of the coming, again of the son of man,
24:11
no one in heaven or on Earth May presume to speak.
24:14
But you should be wise regarding the ripening of an age should be
24:18
alert to discern the signs of the times.
24:22
You should know when the Fig Tree show its tender branches.
24:25
And Puts forth its leaves that summer is near likewise.
24:29
When the world has passed through The Long Winter of
24:32
material mindedness and you discern the coming of the
24:35
spiritual Springtime of a new dispensation, should you know
24:39
that the summertime of a new visitation draws near?
24:45
That's the ranch version of the original which appears in
24:48
Matthew 24:42. But what is the significance of
24:52
this teaching have to do with the coming of the son of man?
24:56
So this point Jesus Is Telling look there's two different
24:59
stories who you're talking about the destruction of Jerusalem and
25:03
all things becoming new again. And the gospel will spread and
25:06
he's giving a forecast of the next 2,000 years.
25:10
All of, which what happened? The evolving of the Christian
25:13
church. But he says, but but what does
25:17
that have to do with me coming back?
25:20
That is still going to happen mankind?
25:22
Still has to become more spiritual regardless of where I
25:25
am or what, if I come back. He says, do you not perceive
25:29
that with each of you is called to lay down his life to struggle
25:33
and pass through the portal of death?
25:36
You stand in the immediate presence of judgment and that
25:38
you are face to face with the facts of a news.
25:41
Dispensation of service in the Eternal plan of the infinite
25:44
father. What the whole world must face
25:47
as a literal fact that the end of an age.
25:50
You as individuals must each most, certainly face as a
25:54
personal experience, when you reach the end of your natural
25:57
life and thereby pass on to be confronted with the conditions
26:02
and demands inherent in the next revelation of the Eternal
26:05
progression of the father's Kingdom.
26:07
So here he's saying, you know, you're worried about the end of
26:11
humanity but you could die tomorrow.
26:14
And you're going to go through that tomorrow, just as the Earth
26:18
will someday. Go through it as a collective of
26:21
all the discourses, which the Masters gave his Apostles.
26:24
Nah, never became so confused in their minds as this one given
26:28
this Tuesday evening on the Mount of Olives, regarding the
26:30
to fold the subject of the destruction of Jerusalem and his
26:34
own second coming. There was therefore a little
26:36
agreement between the subsequent written accounts based on the
26:40
memories of what the master said on this extraordinary occasion.
26:44
Consequently when the records were left blank concerning much
26:47
of what was said that Tuesday evening, there grew up many
26:50
traditions and very early in the second century.
26:53
A Jewish apocalyptic about the Messiah written by one, Celta
26:58
SEL ta who was attached to the court of the emperor.
27:02
Caligula was bodily copied into the Matthew gospel and
27:06
subsequently added in part to Mark and Luke records.
27:10
It was in these writings of Celta that the parable of the
27:13
ten virgins. Ian's appeared.
27:15
No. Part of the Gospel record.
27:16
Ever suffered such confusing misconstruction, as this
27:20
evenings teaching, but the Apostle, John never became thus
27:24
confused. And it's interesting because the
27:27
Apostle, John is the one who ended up writing Revelations,
27:31
which is also, In the Book of Revelations, very descriptive of
27:35
the end of times. You're at your book says in
27:39
paper 176, as these 13 men, resumed, their journey toward
27:43
the camp. They were speechless and under
27:46
great emotional tension, Judas had finally confirmed his
27:50
decision to abandon his associates.
27:52
It was a late hour when David Zebedee John Mark and a number
27:55
of the leading to saw disciples. Welcome Jesus.
27:58
And the twelve to the new camp. But the apostles did not want to
28:02
sleep. They wanted to know more about
28:04
the destruction of Jerusalem, the Masters departure and the
28:07
end of the World. As they gathered about the
28:10
campfire, some 20 of them, Thomas ass.
28:13
Since you are to return to finish the work of the Kingdom,
28:16
what should be our attitude while you are away on the
28:19
father's business as Jesus looked them over by the
28:22
firelight he said and even you Thomas failed to comprehend.
28:27
What I have been saying have I not all this time taught you
28:31
that your connection with the kingdom is spiritual and
28:33
individual olya matter or personal experience and the
28:38
spirit of the faith realization that you are a son of God.
28:42
What more shall I say? The downfall of Nations?
28:46
The crash of Empires, the destruction of the unbelieving
28:49
Jews, the end of an age, even the end of the world.
28:53
What have these things to do? With one who believes this
28:56
gospel? And who has hit his life and The
29:00
Surety of the Eternal Kingdom, you who are God knowing and
29:05
gospel believing have already received the assurances of
29:08
eternal life since your lives have been lived in the spirit.
29:12
And for the father, nothing can be of serious concern to you.
29:16
Kingdom. Builders the accredited citizens
29:19
of the Heavenly world are not to be disturbed by temporal
29:23
upheavals or perturbed by terrestrial cataclysms.
29:28
What does it matter to you? Who believe this Gospel of the
29:31
Kingdom if Nations overturn the age ends or all things visible
29:36
crash. Since you know that your life is
29:39
the gift of the Sun and that it is eternally secure in the
29:43
father having lived the temporal Life by faith.
29:46
And Having yielded the fruits of the spirit as the righteousness
29:50
of loving service for your fellows.
29:53
You can confidently look forward to the next step in the Eternal
29:56
career. With the same survival faith
29:59
that has carried you through your first and Earthly adventure
30:03
and sonship with God. East generation of Believers
30:07
shall carry on their work in view of the possible Return of
30:10
the son of man. Exactly as each individual
30:13
believer carries forward, his life work in view of inevitable
30:19
and ever impending, natural death when you have by faith,
30:23
once established yourself, as a Son of God, nothing else matters
30:27
as regards. The Surety of survival but make
30:30
no mistake. The survival.
30:32
Faith is a living faith. And it increasingly manifests
30:36
the fruits of the Divine Spirit, which first inspired it in the
30:40
human heart that you have once accepted sonship in the Heavenly
30:44
Kingdom. Will not save you in the face of
30:47
the knowing and persistent rejection of those truths which
30:51
have to do with the progressive spiritual fruit.
30:53
Bearing of the sons of God In the Flesh.
30:57
You who have been with me in the father's business on Earth can
31:01
even now desert the kingdom. If you find that you love not
31:05
the way of the father service for mankind, As individuals.
31:09
And as a generation of Believers hear me while I speak a parable,
31:14
there was a certain great man who before starting out on a
31:17
long journey to another country called all his trusted servants
31:21
before him and delivered into their hands all his Goods.
31:26
To one, he gave five talents to another two and to another.
31:29
And so on, down through the entire group of honored
31:32
stewards, To each, he entrusted, his Goods according to their
31:36
several abilities. And then he set out on his
31:39
journey. When their lord had departed,
31:41
his servants set themselves to work to gain profits from the
31:45
wealth and trusted to them immediately.
31:48
He who had received the five talents began to trade with them
31:51
and very soon had made a profit of another five talents in like
31:55
manner, he who had received two talents soon, had gained two
31:58
more, and so did all of these servants make gains for their
32:02
Master accept. Him who'd received but one
32:05
Talent, he went away by himself and dug a hole in the Earth
32:10
where he hid his Lords money. Presently.
32:13
The lord of the servants unexpectedly returned, and
32:15
called upon his doors for a reckoning.
32:17
And when they had been called before their Master, he who had
32:21
received the five talents came forward with money, which had
32:24
been entrusted to him and brought five additional talents
32:28
saying, Lord, you have given me five talents to invest.
32:31
And I'm glad to present five other talents as my game and
32:35
then his lord said to him. Well done, good.
32:37
And faithful servant. You have been Faithful over a
32:40
few things I will now Asset you Steward, as Steward, over many,
32:44
enter forthwith into the joy of your lord and then he had
32:49
received. Two talents came forward saying
32:51
Lord, you delivered into my hand to talents behold.
32:54
I have gained those other two talents and his Lord then said
32:58
to him well done, good and faithful servant.
33:01
You have also been Faithful over a few things and I will now set
33:04
you over many enter you into the joy of your lord.
33:09
And Then There came to the accounting.
33:11
He had received the one Talent. This servant came forward
33:14
saying, Lord. I knew you and realize that you
33:17
were a shrewd man and that you expected gains where you had not
33:20
personally labored, therefore was I afraid to risk ought of
33:25
that which is entrusted to me. I safely hid, your talents in
33:29
the Earth but here it is. You now have what belongs to
33:33
you. But the Lord answered.
33:36
You are an indolent and slothful Steward by your own words, you
33:40
confess that you knew. I would require of you and
33:43
accounting with reasonable profit such as your diligent
33:46
fellow servants. Have this day rendered, knowing
33:49
this, you ought therefore to have at least put my money into
33:53
the hands of the bankers that on my return on might have received
33:56
my own with interest. And then to the chief steward,
34:00
this lord said, take away this one Talent from this
34:03
unprofitable servant and give it to him.
34:05
Who has the ten talents to everyone?
34:08
Who has more shall be given and he shall have abundance.
34:12
But from him who has not even that which he has shall be taken
34:16
away. Should you go about the work of
34:19
the father's business now and henceforth even forever, more
34:23
carry on until I come and faithfulness do that, which is
34:27
entrusted to you and thereby, shall you be ready for the
34:31
Reckoning call of death and having thus live for the glory
34:35
of the father and the satisfaction of the sun, you
34:38
shall enter with joy and exceedingly, great pleasure in
34:41
the Eternal service of the Everlasting Kingdom.
34:45
Truth is Living Truth. The spirit of Truth is ever
34:47
leading the children of light into new Realms of spiritual
34:50
reality and divine service. You are not given truth to
34:54
crystallize into settled safe and honored forms, your
34:58
revelation of Truth must be so unhinged by passing through,
35:02
your personal experience that new Beauty and actual spiritual
35:05
gains will be disclosed to all who behold your spiritual fruits
35:11
and in consequence therefore are led to glorify the father.
35:14
Who is in heaven? Only those Faithful Servants
35:18
who, thus, grow in the knowledge of the truth and who thereby
35:21
develop the capacity for divine appreciation of spiritual
35:25
realities can ever hope to quote enter fully into the joy of
35:29
their lord. What a sorry sight for
35:32
successive Generations. A professed followers of Jesus
35:36
to say regarding their stewardship of divine.
35:38
Truth here Masters the truth, you committed to us a hundred or
35:43
thousand years ago. Have lost nothing.
35:45
We have Faithfully preserved. All you gave us.
35:48
We have allowed no changes to be made to that which you taught
35:51
us. Here is the truth.
35:53
You gave us, but such a plea concerning spiritual insolence,
35:58
will not justify the baron Steward of Truth in the presence
36:01
of the master in accordance with the truth committed to your
36:04
hands. Will the master of Truth.
36:06
Require a reckoning In the next World, you will be asked to give
36:11
an account of the endowments and stewardship of this world.
36:16
Whether inherent talents are few or many, a, just, and merciful
36:20
Reckoning must be faced if endowments are used only in
36:24
selfish Pursuits, and no thought is bestowed upon the higher duty
36:28
of obtaining increased yields of the fruits of the spirit as they
36:32
are manifested. In the ever-expanding service of
36:35
men and the worship of God such selfish stewards must accept the
36:39
consequences of their deliberate choosing and how much like all
36:44
selfish Mortals was Is this Unfaithful servant with the one
36:48
talent and then he blamed his slothfulness directly upon his
36:52
Lord. How prone is man, when he is
36:54
confronted with the failures of his own making, put the blame
36:58
upon others, often times upon those, who least deserve.
37:01
It said Jesus that night as they went to their rest freely.
37:05
Have you received therefore freely, should you give the
37:09
truth of heaven? And in the giving Will this
37:12
truth multiply and show forth the increasing light?
37:15
Saving grace even as you have ministered, it paper 176 section
37:22
four paragraph 1 of all the Masters teachings.
37:25
No one phase has been so misunderstood as his promise.
37:29
Some time to come back in person to this world, it is not
37:33
strange. That Michael should be
37:34
interested in some time returning to the planet, where
37:38
on he experienced his seventh and last bestowal as a mortal of
37:41
the realm, It is only natural to believe that Jesus of Nazareth
37:45
now, Sovereign ruler of a vast Universe would be interested in
37:49
coming back. Not only once, but even many
37:51
times to the world where, and he lived such a unique life.
37:55
And finally, one for himself, the father's unlimited bestowal
37:58
of universe, power and authority.
38:00
Your Rancho will eternally be one of the seven Nativity
38:03
spheres of Michael in the winning of universe sovereignty.
38:08
Jesus did on numerous occasions and too many individuals
38:12
declare. His intention of returning to
38:13
this world and his followers awakened to the fact that their
38:17
master was not going to function as a temporal deliverer and as
38:22
they listened to his predictions of the overthrow of Jerusalem
38:25
and the downfall of the Jewish Nation, they naturally began to
38:29
associate his promise returned with these catastrophic events.
38:34
Do we do that today? Do we look at all the
38:37
catastrophe going on? And so let's be n times.
38:40
Jesus is just coming continuing on, but when the Roman armies
38:45
level, the walls of Jerusalem, destroyed the temple and
38:48
disperse, the Judean Jews, and still the master did not reveal
38:52
himself in power and Glory. His followers began the
38:55
formulation of that belief, which eventually Associated the
38:59
second coming of Christ, with the end of an age, even with the
39:02
end of the world, Jesus promised to do two things after he
39:06
ascended to the father. And after all power in heaven,
39:09
and on Earth has been placed in his hands.
39:12
He promised first to send into the world and in his stead,
39:16
another teacher, the spirit of Truth and this he did on the day
39:19
of Pentecost, second. He most certainly promised his
39:23
followers that he would some time personally return to this
39:26
world. But he did not say how where, or
39:30
when he would revisit this planet of his pistole experience
39:34
in the flesh on one occasion. He intimated that whereas the
39:38
eyes of Flesh had beheld him, when he lived here in the flesh
39:42
on his return at least on one of his possible visits, he would be
39:46
discerned only by the eyes of the spiritual faith.
39:51
Many of us. And this is from the Riders, the
39:55
midwayers who put this narrative together, many of us are
39:58
inclined to believe that Jesus will return to your ancha many
40:01
times during the ages to come. We do not have his specific
40:06
promise to make these plural visits but it seems most
40:09
probable that he will that he who carries among his Universe
40:13
titles that of planetary, Prince of Urantia will many times.
40:17
Visit the world, whose Conquest conferred, such a unique title
40:21
upon him. We most positively believe that
40:24
Michael will again come in person to Urantia.
40:27
But we have not the slightest idea as to when or in what
40:30
Manner, he may choose to come. Will his second event on Earth,
40:35
be time to occur in connection with a terminal Judgment of this
40:38
present age either with or without the associated
40:41
appearance of a magisterial son, will he come in connection with
40:46
a termination of some subsequent your Ranch in age?
40:50
Will he come unannounced and as an isolated event?
40:53
We do not know, only one thing. We are certain of that is when
40:57
he does return, all the world will likely know about it.
41:01
For, he must come as the supreme ruler of a universe and not as
41:06
an obscure babe of Bethlehem. But if every eye is to Behold
41:10
Him, and if only spiritual eyes are to discern his presence,
41:15
then must his Advent, belonged to Ferdinand.
41:18
So, they're saying there that if it's true, and he's coming back
41:21
and all the world will see him, it's going to be a long time
41:24
before. All of the world is ready to see
41:27
him. That's my interpretation.
41:30
And there's finally, there's this you would do well,
41:32
therefore to disassociate the Masters personal return to Earth
41:36
from any and all set of ends or Told epics.
41:40
We are sure of only one thing. He has promised to come back.
41:45
We have no idea as to when he will or the way he will.
41:49
Fulfill his promise or in what connection as far as we know.
41:53
He may appear on Earth any day and he may not come until age
41:57
after age has passed and been duly adjudicated by his
42:01
Associated. Sons of the paradise core.
42:04
The second Advent of Michael on Earth is an event of tremendous
42:08
sentimental value to both Midway.
42:10
Bears and humans. But otherwise it is of no
42:14
immediate moment to midwayers and of no more, practical
42:18
importance to human, beings than the comment event of natural
42:23
death. Which so suddenly precipitates,
42:26
mortal man into the immediate grasp of that succession of
42:30
universe events which leads directly to the presence of this
42:33
same Jesus, The Sovereign ruler of our universe.
42:38
The children of light are all destined to see him and it is of
42:42
no serious concern whether we go to him or whether he should come
42:46
first to us. Bu therefore only ready to
42:50
welcome him on Earth as he stands.
42:53
Ready to welcome you in heaven, we confidently look for his
42:57
glorious appearing, even for repeated Cummings but we are
43:01
wholly ignorant as to how when or in what connection.
43:05
He is destined to appear. So they give us the story, the
43:10
account and then they throw in some suggestions, some ideas on
43:14
what we should consider and that wraps up paper 176 on the
43:18
Masters second coming and it also brings us to a close of
43:22
this edition of the Rancher Radio podcast.
43:26
And as promised, I said, I would play this wonderful tune from a
43:30
gentleman who has been reading. The Urantia Book for a long,
43:33
long time, guy by the name of Tom, had a bridge takes us away.
43:37
And again, if Want to contact us on the ranch, Radio podcast, you
43:41
can do. So your aunt, your book radio at
43:43
gmail.com. Until next time, God bless and
43:48
have a blessed day. Some, I can't take this side by
44:05
side. Life Everlasting.
44:11
I shall not as divine presence. Want for food, nor thirst for
44:15
water though. I don't damage the valley of
44:19
uncertainty or send up into the worlds of death though.
44:24
I though I triumphed in the choirs of light or falter in the
44:31
solitary places of the Spheres, you're good.
44:35
Spiritual minister to me. Angel will comfort me?
44:41
No, I descended to the depths of darkness and death itself.
44:45
I shall not doubt, you know, failure for, I know that in the
44:49
fullness of your name.
