Dear Bob,
Thank you for sharing your insightful and timely message. Your words of caution regarding the Second Coming, the Shroud of Turin, and Project Bluebeam are well-taken and resonate deeply.
As you astutely pointed out, the Urantia revelation emphasizes the importance of holding fast to our faith in these perilous times. It's crucial to remember that our faith is not based on external events or timelines but on our personal relationship with God the Father.
Your clarification on Jesus' return is also appreciated. The Urantia Book indeed teaches that Jesus' return will be a spiritual event, visible only to spiritual eyes. This understanding helps us avoid being misled by false claims or manipulated by advanced technology.
Regarding the Shroud of Turin, your skepticism is warranted. While some may argue that scientific authentication supports its authenticity, we must consider the possibility of advanced technology being used to create a convincing forgery.
Your final words of encouragement to keep our faith and stay vigilant are particularly relevant. In these uncertain times, it's essential to remain grounded in our spiritual values and principles.
Thank you for your thought-provoking message, Bob. May we all continue to cultivate our faith, wisdom, and discernment as we navigate these complex times.
Godspeed,
Julius
A Time for Caution: The Second Coming, The Shroud of Turin, and Project Bluebeam
We are in perilous times: there are those who wish to control humanity, they are entrenched throughout our world’s systems, and they have technology available for their purposes that is beyond what most of us know.
The Urantia revelation claims that in these days the greatest threat we will face is holding to our faith. Remember, for any individual the only thing that really matters is dying with their faith in God the Father and knowing they have progressively grown in showing the fruits of the Spirit throughout their lives.
Jesus said he would return; he did not say when. There is no basis to the idea that he will return at the end of an age or at the end of the world, and since only spiritual eyes can see him and all eyes will see him, I suggest our world has a way to go before again being visited by our Creator. To promote Jesus coming now is setting up and reinforcing the idea of Project Bluebeam—a false second coming.
The Shroud of Turin may also be part of an effort to deceive the people. Regardless, it contradicts what we know of Jesus’ life and teachings and his desire and reasons for not leaving anything behind. As for it supposedly being authenticated by science, all I can say is that we are dealing with advanced technology and how the shroud originated is beyond our ability to know.
Keep your faith, and stay vigilant.
Godspeed, America.
Bob

This is what I think regarding this element of Bob's comment "and since only spiritual eyes can see him and all eyes will see him, I suggest our world has a way to go before again being visited by our Creator." My observation that the 19 morontia appearances of Jesus would not have been visible to mortal eyes without the assistance of the hosts of heaven. We should also meditate on the fact that only true believers were graced to witness these 19 morontia appearances. So in consideration of the promised second coming to Urantia we should take into account that this world alone is managed by a Sovereign Master Paradise Creator Son of God as our Planetary Prince of Peace and fully subjected to his will for Urantia. A will that has already assured us that his gospel will in an age to come rule this very world. Keeping in mind that "118:6.5 what a son desires and the Father wills will certainly come to pass."
I fully understand Bob's comment in that we have been well advised by the revelators not to make the Gospel of Jesus dependent upon his promised return so each generation living before his return do not lose faith because the return was not in the lifetime of that believer. It is also true that Jesus desired we also attempt to understand the long distance view of the future when his Gospel does rule this very world. If there were no spiritual significance in his promise to return he would not of made it public. Also what does it matter if he comes to us or we go to him upon our graduation from this world.
What Jesus said about his coming should also influence our preparation and awareness of such a time on Urantia.
176:2.6 "And now concerning the travail of Jerusalem, about which I have spoken to you, even this generation will not pass away until my words are fulfilled; but concerning the times of the coming again of the Son of Man, no one in heaven or on earth may presume to speak. But you should be wise regarding the ripening of an age; you should be alert to discern the signs of the times. You know when the fig tree shows its tender branches and puts forth its leaves that summer is near. Likewise, when the world has passed through the long winter of material-mindedness and you discern the coming of the spiritual springtime of a new dispensation, should you know that the summertime of a new visitation draws near.
With the arrival of the 5th Epochal Revelation we are IN "the spiritual springtime" The question to be answered is how long is this period of spiritual awakening '
I am sharing an image with a much meditated upon truth postulate Monica and myself have held in mind and repeated often which today I put into an image to share with our fellow believers.
May 2025 bring many spiritual victories in our work for this day and generation. Thank you Bob for stimulating progressive reflections upon our mission at Spiritual Family Network. Your contributions are greatly appreciated and your personal outlooks and viewpoints very valuable and educational for our growing members and visitors.
Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 6/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
Mary and Joseph were married in March, 8 B.C. That same month Caesar Augustus passed a law requiring a census: he wanted to know how many people were paying taxes. But the Jews had always resisted being counted, and they managed have the census in Palestine delayed until a year later in 7 B.C. Mary was pregnant that year when the Romans held the census in Palestine, so Joseph decided that he would go Bethlehem and register the family by himself. Mary disagreed: she did not want to take the chance of giving birth when Joseph was gone. Also, her cousin Elizabeth lived nearby Bethlehem and Mary argued that the two of them could visit. At first Joseph held firm and said Mary had to stay home. But she just ignored him and packed enough food for both of them, winning the argument. They left for Bethlehem at dawn the next day, August 18, 7 B.C. Mary rode the donkey with their food and Joseph walked ahead leading the way.

Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 5/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
Jesus carried traits from both of his parents. From Joseph he acquired his deep love for and understanding of people, and some of his tendency to at times become discouraged. Joseph also taught Jesus his religion and the history of the Jewish people.
Mary’s personality was stronger than Joseph’s. She was outgoing and not shy expressing herself. Mary was better at managing a household than most women, and she was a master at getting things done. From his mother Jesus learned how to plan, teach, and adapt. But Mary could also get angry on the spot if someone blasphemed God, a trait Jesus acquired from her later in life.

Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 4/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.
The angel never told Joseph that his son was coming to save the Jews, or that Joseph was a descendent of the House of David. For hundreds of years the Jews had been waiting for someone to come and assume David’s throne. This new king, like Moses, would use miracles to defeat the Jew’s enemies and control all of Palestine. After Jesus was crucified many of the stories in the Old Testament where altered to better align with his incarnation on Earth. Those changes have caused tremendous confusion. Jesus himself stated that he had no link to the family of David or any intention to sit on his throne. Other changes to the scriptures included altering Mary and Joseph’s family lines, and stating that a virgin instead of a maiden was going to bear a son.

Extracto de: Capítulo 1, Nacimiento e infancia de Jesus, 4/9
Hijo de hombre: Urantia
El ángel nunca le dijo a José que su hijo vendría a salvar a los judíos, ni que José era descendiente de la Casa de David. Durante cientos de años los judíos habían estado esperando que alguien viniera y asumiera el trono de David. Este nuevo rey, como Moisés, utilizaría milagros para derrotar a los enemigos de los judíos y controlar toda Palestina. Después de que Jesús fuera crucificado muchas de las historias del Antiguo Testamento fueron alteradas para alinearlas mejor con su encarnación en la Tierra. Esos cambios han causado una tremenda confusión. El propio Jesús declaró que no tenía ningún vínculo con la familia de David ni ninguna intención de sentarse en su trono. Otros cambios en las escrituras incluyeron la alteración de las líneas familiares de María y José, y la afirmación de que una virgen en lugar de una doncella iba a dar a luz un hijo.
