What Happened At Mt Hermon · Urantia Radio

0:00
All right. I want to welcome you back to
0:01
another edition of The Rancho. Radio podcast.
0:04
This is where we talk about the fifth epical.
0:06
Revelation. This is going to start getting
0:09
really important now. I know that you're going to
0:13
notice. A certain step.
0:16
In my cadence, maybe my urgency level, I don't know I'm getting.
0:20
Older I feel like. The clock is running out.
0:24
I don't have as much time. I don't have the luxury of time
0:27
like I used to. Maybe.
0:29
And I, I sit and I think about the Urantia book as I've done
0:33
for the past, I don't know, 50 years almost.
0:37
And and I I am amazed and surprised that so many people
0:41
still don't understand the significance.
0:43
Of what we. Have in our possession and you
0:46
know, in the 80s and the 90s when everything was kind of cool
0:48
and we were all all moving at the sound of whatever was
0:51
trending at the time. Then the digital age came upon
0:55
us and politically things started to unravel around the
0:59
aughts. Then we have this whole new
1:01
generation of children young. People that are, are.
1:04
Completely involved. We're doing everything exactly
1:08
opposite of what the Urantia book is trying to tell us not to
1:11
do. It warns us that when children
1:15
when 3. Quarters of the.
1:17
Nation's youth are obsessed with things instead of ideas.
1:21
Civilization is at risk. They tell us.
1:25
Over and over that it it too much capitalism, unbridled
1:28
liberty. These things are ultimately
1:30
destructive to the family. I mean should.
1:33
We should. This is why I told you about
1:35
last week, about. What life is like on another
1:38
planet they're giving us. A.
1:40
A sort of. Blueprint of what we should be
1:45
trying to strive to become, which is we're moving towards an
1:49
era of light and life. Now when I say there's going to
1:52
be a sense. Of urgency, I think.
1:54
I need to be more instructive. I think I need to be more plain
1:58
in my speaking. I, I don't have the time now to
2:02
to think, OK, well, maybe they'll get.
2:04
It they'll they'll, they'll be attracted to the book.
2:08
Or maybe they'll go out and buy it.
2:09
Or maybe they'll hey, you know for you cheapskates, you can get
2:12
the book online and download it to your phone.
2:15
And if you want the additional advantage of being able to do a
2:19
word search, you can pay 299 a month for EU book online.
2:25
There is, I want there to be a sense of urgency in my.
2:28
Voice, because I do. Spend an awful lot of time
2:31
thinking about how am I going to present the 5th epochal
2:34
revelation? You know, I want to.
2:38
I want to. Show you or teach you a little
2:41
bit about the hierarchy. We're going to go back and I
2:45
hope that I can express this. With a great degree of clarity
2:49
of what exactly the. Structure of the universe is.
2:52
So let me give it a shot. Especially for you.
2:56
You. New readers, if you've been
2:58
reading the book for under 2 years, this may help you
3:02
understand what the. Hierarchy of deity really is so
3:06
that. You can understand what the
3:08
family of the universe is all about and especially if you're a
3:12
father. Now, I recently came into a
3:16
situation where I have one of my children who is more or less
3:20
rebelling against. The world he doesn't.
3:24
Quite know how to fit in. He's got so many skills, but he
3:28
wants to do things his way. And it got me real and it was
3:33
very taxing and and challenging for me because I love my
3:36
children. I, I'm a father.
3:38
I I am merciful to my children. I I will.
3:42
Always exhibit mercy at the expense of justice.
3:47
And, and that's just the way I'm I, I'm wired.
3:49
And maybe you are too. Maybe you're a very loving,
3:52
giving father. Many fathers are very stern and
3:55
they're more justice oriented and, and, and perhaps they have
3:59
an advantage. But it got me to thinking about
4:01
the relationship between Jesus Christ and Lucifer.
4:07
And I'm going to tell you what happened one day.
4:10
It is the most important chapter, perhaps even the most
4:16
important. Paragraph.
4:18
In the entire 2097 page book, the Urantia book, it is the most
4:27
important thing you will ever. Read if you're a.
4:28
Christian, you need to know this story.
4:31
It will help you understand what exactly is going on.
4:35
It is going to open your mind and you will at once understand
4:39
the importance. Of what?
4:41
Exactly is transpiring now and what happened on that?
4:46
Faithful day about. 2000 years ago when Jesus went for six.
4:52
Weeks he was. I think 29 years old.
4:56
He was just about to start his public.
5:00
Preaching he had not yet been baptized by John at.
5:04
At at the. You know the river, the river of
5:08
the Jordan, and we're going to go to paper 134, Section 8 and I
5:12
want you to understand what exactly transpired because it.
5:16
Like I said it. Explains the entire premise.
5:20
It is the most important. Exhibit of what the.
5:24
Urantia Book. Is about and why we've.
5:26
Been given this wonderful gift. So we have to take a quick
5:29
break. I always like to start off with
5:32
a. Little bit of music to kind of
5:34
get us in the mood, and then we're going to talk about the
5:36
most important thing you can ever learn in this life.
6:35
So let's talk about the. Hierarchy.
6:37
Then we'll get. Into the the whole.
6:39
Thing with of of Jesus and his relationship.
6:44
And again, if you're a Christian, please, please, I'm
6:47
begging you to take pay. Attention.
6:49
This will solidify. At least for you.
6:52
The. Credibility of the Urantia book
6:54
as a revelation If you don't see the Urantia book as a
6:57
revelation, maybe this will convince you not only for.
7:01
Its skills as a. Narrative and its writing and
7:04
its literary brilliance. But also because of the story.
7:07
And the importance of it. Because it really it took.
7:11
Having a conflict of my own family for me to understand the
7:16
gravity of the. Situation so.
7:20
When you think about God and then and then the.
7:22
Hierarchy of deity. Deity.
7:24
Is the highest form deity of is is self existential.
7:29
It. It's always been.
7:30
It always will be. What we consider to be God.
7:33
The Deity, the Universal Father. He is 1.
7:38
He always will be. He sustains.
7:39
The universe through his energy. And then comes the Trinity, the
7:44
family of God, the first family, the Trinity.
7:47
Is God the Father? God the Son and God the.
7:51
Spirit or the Holy? Spirit.
7:54
In this functionality of the Trinity come the Trinity.
7:57
Teacher Sons. Who each exhibit the.
8:03
Expressive manifestation. Of that aspect of deity.
8:07
So in the combination of God, the.
8:09
Father and God the. Son, there's a Trinity teacher
8:12
Son that represents that unified manifestation or expression.
8:19
And when I mean expression, I mean a personality form.
8:24
Just like when you and I have children, that child is an
8:28
expression of the combined conjoint partnership between two
8:33
people. On a biological level.
8:35
On a spiritual level works the same way, so the Trinity teacher
8:40
sons each. Had the are the.
8:43
Trinity representative to that specific grand universe.
8:48
There are 7 potential expressions of deity
8:52
manifestation within the Trinity.
8:55
So 1 Trinity Teacher's Son represents the God God and God
9:00
the Father, and God the Son the second Trinity teacher's Son
9:03
represents. God the Father and God the
9:06
Spirit. The next Trinity teacher's Son
9:11
represents the Spirit and the Son and so forth.
9:15
And then you have 7 potential and and it is.
9:18
By the way, that's. The the most you can get out of
9:20
373 combinations, each with its own.
9:25
Relationship produces. One of the seven expressions of
9:30
deity. And then from the Trinity
9:33
teacher sons, they're assigned 3 ancients of days.
9:37
These are the ancients. Of days the.
9:39
Eternal of days, the recent of days.
9:42
They call them days because. Like the Trinity, there was a
9:45
time almost where they did not, Where they didn't have a
9:48
beginning. No beginning, no ending
9:52
existential. Now where did the Where does
9:58
Michael come from? Where does Jesus come from?
10:01
Jesus is the. Son manifestation of the Father
10:05
and the Son. He who has seen me has seen the
10:09
Father so to. Jesus Christ.
10:12
In a literal sense. God is his Father.
10:17
But he's also almost like, I don't know, the second eldest
10:22
son in a large family. So then you have the son who
10:28
represents the. Father to us.
10:32
So when Christ says, he who has seen me has seen the Father?
10:36
His whole life was dedicated to. Following the Father, having
10:40
faith in the Father. You read about this in the final
10:43
paper of the Arantia book, The Faith of.
10:45
Jesus. Now when Jesus and the divine.
10:49
Spirit, which is the daughter of the third.
10:52
Person of treaty identity at Trinity.
10:55
Sorry. The Universal Spirit, the
10:57
conjoined actor, the Divine Mother Spirit of our universe is
11:02
the eternal partner of Christ, Michael.
11:07
So they have a family. On the one side are the
11:10
spiritual children, the offspring of the Divine Mother,
11:14
On the other side of the sons, so you have the Melchizedek
11:17
sons, the first born of that family.
11:21
And again, just as the Trinity teacher sons on the higher level
11:25
represent the manifestation and the expression.
11:30
Of deity, so too do the. Other sons of the local realms
11:37
represent the. Christ and the Divine.
11:41
Mother so hence you have the Michael sons you have.
11:45
The creator. Sons are the same.
11:48
Below them are the Melchizedeks, below them are the Lenin and
11:53
Deck Sons, and they are the System sovereigns.
11:59
They're in charge of. 1000 worlds of their.
12:02
System Lucifer was. A Lenin and deck son.
12:09
And then you have the Veronda deck sons.
12:13
They're known as the Most Highs, the most High who rule in the
12:18
kingdoms of men are the Veranda deck sons, the offspring.
12:25
Then you have the material sons, like the Adams and the Eaves.
12:32
They're of a material. Order A.
12:34
Descending order, but they're still much higher than the
12:38
material man. Man is at the low end of that
12:42
very long rung ladder. We are a step.
12:46
Below the material sons, In fact, we're holding material.
12:50
But we're all part of the spiritual.
12:52
Family of Christ, Michael and the divine spirit.
12:58
So I want to draw your attention now to what happened when
13:03
Lucifer. Rebelled.
13:06
What did Lucifer do when he rebelled?
13:10
He he challenged the authority of.
13:14
Christ, he said. I.
13:18
I know your existence as my father.
13:21
Lucifer said. But I do not give recognition to
13:26
your. Father.
13:28
Because I don't see him. I think that you're using.
13:32
The idea of God to usurp power. And I want to do things my way.
13:42
I believe that the Earth's were. Wasting too much time on the
13:45
ascendancy program. Why can't we just?
13:49
Each. Be allowed to run our own
13:51
universe as we see fit, try new things, go a different way.
13:59
And Jesus said, no, there's an there's an ordained way.
14:03
There's the Father's will. That's what we are here to do.
14:09
So how is that any different from my son, your son?
14:11
Your your child. Who decides?
14:14
He's going to go his own way, right?
14:17
He's going to. Why can't I try?
14:20
This well, because there's a way to do.
14:22
Things the right way, and those are.
14:24
Yeah, but who says? So it's not any different.
14:28
The relationship, the spiritual relationship of this hierarchy
14:33
is such where Lucifer and Satan. Are two individuals as listed in
14:39
the Urantia book they are rebelling against their.
14:43
Creator Father. And that's what they did, and
14:49
that's what they've continued to do and that.
14:51
Self. Liberty doctrine has sort of
14:53
infiltrated down onwards to the material worlds, including our
14:57
own. Last week we told you that the.
15:01
Government on another world? Also went through a default
15:06
also. Had a material son and daughter.
15:08
Just like we did. That went into default victims
15:12
of. Lucifer's traitorous self
15:16
liberty. Doctrine that is infected and
15:18
created the fallen angels that we read about in Revelations in
15:21
the book of Enoch. It's interesting because in the
15:26
book of Enoch, I am told by Wikipedia.
15:29
That is where the watchers live, and the watchers watch over the.
15:34
Fallen angels of a former time on Mount Hermon.
15:40
Interesting isn't 9000 foot peak.
15:44
Let me read you the story of Mount Hermon, and I want you to
15:47
pause everything that I've told you.
15:49
And let us begin from paper 1:30.
15:51
Four, I'll read to you. And it's going to all come.
15:55
Together it's a short. Paper after spending some time
16:01
in the vicinity of. This area Philippi.
16:03
Jesus made ready his supplies and securing a beast of burden
16:08
and a lad named. Taigleth.
16:11
He proceeded along the Damascus road to a village, some sometime
16:15
known as Viet Gen., in the foothills of Mount Hermon here
16:21
near the middle of August 8025. He established his headquarters.
16:25
And leaving his supplies in the. Custody of Taigleth Tigleth.
16:30
He ascended the lonely. Slopes over the.
16:32
Of the mountain Tiglith accompanied Jesus this first day
16:37
up to the mountains to a designated point of 6000.
16:41
Feet above sea level where they built a.
16:44
Stone container in which Tiglith.
16:46
Was to deposit food twice a week.
16:49
The first day after he had left Tiglith, Jesus had ascended.
16:53
The mountains only a short way when he.
16:57
Paused to pray. Among other things?
17:00
He asked. His father to send.
17:02
Back the Guardian Seraphim. To be with Tiglith, he requested
17:09
that he be. Permitted to go up.
17:10
To his last struggle with the realities.
17:12
Of mortal existence alone, and his request was granted.
17:17
He went into the great. Test.
17:20
With only his indwelling. Adjuster his spirit.
17:22
Fragment to guide and sustain him.
17:27
Jesus ate frugally while. On the mountain he abstained
17:30
from all food only. A day or two at a.
17:32
Time the superhuman beings who confronted him on this mountain,
17:39
and with whom he had wrestled in spirit, and in whom he defeated
17:44
in. Power were real, they.
17:47
Were his arch enemies. Of our system.
17:52
They were not. Phantasms of the imagination
17:54
evolved out of the intellectual vagaries of a weakened and
17:58
starving mortal who could not distinguish reality from the
18:02
vision of a disordered mind now. Recall that I told.
18:08
You in the Book of Enoch it mentions that Mount Hermon is
18:10
the place according to those papers.
18:14
For the watchers. And the fallen angels.
18:16
So it makes me ask. What is it that drove Jesus up
18:19
this? Particular mount.
18:22
Why Mount Hermon that he had some sort of push, something
18:27
that he knew was to transpire on this mountain?
18:29
Is this in fact, and you know, today Mount Hermon?
18:33
Is is is the. Golan Heights Let me continue on
18:39
with the story. Jesus spent the last.
18:42
Three weeks of August and the first three weeks of.
18:44
September on Mount Hermon. During these weeks, he finished
18:47
the mortal. Task of.
18:49
Achieving the circles of mind, understanding and personality
18:53
control. Throughout this period of.
18:56
Communion with his heavenly Father, the.
18:58
Indwelling adjuster spirit also. Completed the assigned services,
19:03
the mortal goal. Of this earth creature was.
19:06
There attained attunement, remained to be consummated, and
19:12
it was the final phase remaining in the life of Jesus.
19:17
And I'll give you a little. Spoiler.
19:19
That communion actually took. Place the day that Jesus was
19:22
baptized a few weeks later. After more than five weeks of
19:28
unbroken communion. With his paradise father.
19:31
Think about that for a moment. How would you?
19:33
How would you assess? Someone who is an unbroken
19:36
communion in. Prayer with their paradise
19:39
father. So concentrated to their.
19:41
Faith that they're actually. Having Communion, Jesus became
19:47
absolutely assured of his nature and of the certainty of his
19:51
triumph over the material levels of time, space, personality,
19:55
manifestation. In other words, he had become
19:59
full. He became fully engulfed not
20:02
only in his own identity and who he was as the Son of Man.
20:07
Son of God of the earth, but He also completed.
20:10
As much as a mortal human could complete the connection with his
20:16
paradise father and the only way to achieve.
20:19
That is to have that much faith to have.
20:23
That much love. For your creator spiritual.
20:25
Father continuing on, he. Fully believed.
20:30
In and did not. Hesitate to assert the.
20:32
Ascendancy of his divine nature over his human nature.
20:37
He. Knew who he was.
20:40
Now near the end of the mountain sojourn, Jesus asked his father
20:44
if he might be permitted to hold conference with his Satania
20:49
enemies as the Son of Man as Joshua Ben Joseph now.
20:54
I would be terrified. I.
20:56
Could never muster the. Courage.
20:59
As a human being, to go to my Father and say, let me deal with
21:03
these fallen angels. As a human, almost impossible to
21:11
understand how. Great of a statement that is
21:14
this. Request was granted.
21:18
During the last week on Mount Hermon the Great Temptation, the
21:22
universal trial occurred. Satan representing Lucifer cause
21:26
at this time. Lucifer is.
21:28
Being held on the Father's. World, I believe.
21:32
Encircling Jerusalem. He's a prisoner.
21:35
He's. Incarcerated, if you will, but
21:39
he still has. Satan.
21:41
He still has calagasia. He still has a.
21:43
Lot of rebellious representatives out there.
21:47
Our own planetary Prince who had fallen.
21:49
Calagasia, the man who tempted. Eve they were.
21:54
Present right there with. Jesus.
21:56
And they were made. Fully visible to.
21:59
Him, he could see them and this temptation, the Urantia book
22:03
writes. This final trial of human
22:05
loyalty in the face of the misrepresentations of rebel
22:09
personalities had not to. Do with food.
22:12
Temple pentacles or presumptuous?
22:14
Acts. It had not to do with the
22:17
kingdoms of. This world, but with.
22:19
The sovereignty of a mighty and glorious universe.
22:24
And I'm imagining in my mind that Calagastia probably and
22:29
Satan are saying, you know. This could be yours.
22:31
You could have it all. Michael, you could have it all.
22:34
You can make the decision to be your own man, do things the way
22:40
that you want. That would have been the
22:42
temptation and they write the subsequent generation should
22:49
understand what a great. Struggle the.
22:50
Son of Man passed through that eventful day.
22:54
Aunt Mount Hermon. They say that the symbolisms of
22:59
our records was intended. For the backward ages of the
23:02
world's childlike. Thought to the many proposals
23:08
and counterproposals of the emissaries of Lucifer, Jesus
23:12
made only one reply. May the will of my Father, my
23:17
paradise Father. Prevail.
23:20
And you, my rebellious son, may the ancients.
23:23
Of days judge you. Divinely, I am your.
23:27
Creator Father. I can hardly judge you justly
23:31
and my mercy, you have already spurned how many of.
23:36
Us as fathers. Because we're so merciful and
23:39
forgiving of our children, when they do things wrong, do we say
23:43
to them, I can't judge you justly, I'm your father.
23:49
All I can do is offer you mercy. But you've already spurned.
23:54
That so I hope. The divine Judges.
23:58
Will be fair to you. Because the consequences of your
24:01
actions eventually will require adjudication, you will be judged
24:06
by your actions. I think every parent goes
24:10
through that time and time again trying to be.
24:13
Corrective to our children. Trying to teach them.
24:16
There's a right? Way and a wrong way, and even in
24:18
the grand scheme of the universe.
24:21
You have Lucifer, a rebellious. Son who says I'm going to do
24:24
things my way and he's trying to tempt the Creator's son, his
24:28
father, by saying no, no, come with me, I'll show you.
24:34
So they write to all the Lucifer suggested.
24:37
Compromises and makeshifts. To all such specious.
24:41
Proposals about the incarnation bestowal.
24:44
Jesus only made one reply, the will of my Father in Paradise
24:49
Beta and when the trying ordeal was finished.
24:54
The. Detached guardian Seraphim
24:56
returned. To Jesus side.
24:59
And ministered to him on an afternoon in the late summer.
25:04
The. Trees in the silence of nature.
25:07
Michael of Nepodon, who we know is Jesus.
25:10
Christ Yeshua Ben Yosef. Won the unquestioned sovereignty
25:18
of his universe because he remained loyal to the.
25:21
Father's will. On that day, he completed.
25:25
The tasks set for. Creator Sons.
25:27
To live to the. Full the Incarnate life and the
25:31
likeness of mortal flesh on the evolutionary world of time and
25:35
space. The universe announcement of
25:38
this momentous achievement was not made until.
25:42
The day of his. Baptism months.
25:44
Afterward, but it all really took place.
25:48
On the mountain and when Jesus came down from his sojourn on
25:53
Mount Hermon, The Lucifer rebellion in the system of
25:57
Satania, and the Calagasia secession of Urantia.
26:01
Was virtually settled. Jesus had paid the last price
26:06
required. Of Him to attain the sovereignty
26:09
of his universe, which in. Itself regulates the status of
26:14
all rebels. And determines.
26:17
That all such future upheavals, if they should ever occur.
26:21
May be dealt with summarily and effectively.
26:26
Accordingly. It may be seen that the
26:27
so-called great temptation of Jesus took place sometime before
26:32
his baptism and not just after the event.
26:36
So I I tell this story. For two reasons. 1 is.
26:39
To give you a. A greater sense of the context.
26:42
Of what? Jesus.
26:43
Achieved on that day at Mount Hermon, even though it was
26:47
somewhat garbled and and connected to the event of the
26:50
baptism when he left and went into.
26:52
The Hills for 40. Days now.
26:55
That event gave Jesus the time to plan the final.
26:59
Period of his. Life and they go through the
27:00
different decisions that he makes on how he is going to
27:04
choose to proclaim the Kingdom of heaven on earth.
27:08
In this event the the event that is lesser known of achieving
27:15
conquest over the flesh, which is essentially what he did and
27:20
in doing so was able to. Defeat the satanic forces.
27:24
In the universe and settle the affairs.
27:27
Of his authority as a. Son of God who?
27:33
Sits at the table. Not a lesser son, but a son
27:38
whose. Loyalty to the Father.
27:40
Is unmatched. He represents the Father.
27:46
I just think it's a wonderful story and I think that there's
27:48
so many different things in this story that could convince
27:51
anyone, Christian or not. That there is a.
27:55
Definitive plan what? Does Christ tell Lucifer?
27:59
And and Satan, he says it's not much different.
28:05
Says it's the will. Of the father that matters, it
28:09
is the will of my father. That which is.
28:13
The will of my father, no matter what anybody comes at them with.
28:18
And there's nothing more profound that I could.
28:20
Add to this already. Profound story, except.
28:24
To say that this. Should be conclusive.
28:26
To you why this? Book is so important it it
28:29
neatly ties all the knots of creation together.
28:35
I think it's wonderful. Questions.
28:37
Comments. What are your thoughts I'd.
28:39
Really like to know what you think of Mount Hermon and the
28:43
Book of Enoch, if anybody has any insight into that because
28:47
it's not really specified in the Urantia book, but it is
28:51
interesting that Mount Hermon. Look at what's at.
28:53
The top of Mount Hermon today it's it's intriguing to think.
28:58
Ask yourself why. Very strange that's.
29:02
A very. Significant mountain for reasons
29:06
we may not yet understand fully. And with that, I leave.
29:10
You. With his spirit and I look
29:11
