Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 3/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Mary was in her house and Joseph was still at work when Gabriel appeared to her in mid-November. After Mary calmed down Gabriel told her what he had told Elizabeth and also that she was pregnant with a son; that her pregnancy was blessed by God; that she and Joseph were supposed to name their son Joshua, and that their son Joshua would announce the kingdom of heaven on Earth…. Gabriel waited until after Mary was already pregnant before appearing to her. There was no virgin birth: Jesus was conceived as normal the night before Gabriel’s visit, which was the only supernatural event that happened.

Excerpt: Ch. 1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 2/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Mary had a distant relative named Elizabeth whose husband was Zacharias, a Jewish rabbi. They had been married for many years but had never been blessed with a child. One day toward the end of June, 8 B.C. while Zacharias was praying in the temple, Elizabeth was by herself in their house when all of the sudden Gabriel made himself visible to her. After Elizabeth calmed down, Gabriel told her that the long-awaited savior is coming soon; that Elizabeth’s cousin, Mary, would be the mother of this divine teacher; that a man named John would come first to prepare the way for this savior; that Elizabeth and her husband Zacharias would be the parents of John, who would be known as John the Baptist, and finally, that he was going to tell Mary this same story.

Excerpt: Ch.1, Birth and Infancy of Jesus, 1/9
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

After Michael chose Urantia for his final bestowal in submission to God the Father, Gabriel chose the Jews to host our creator’s life on Earth. At the time, their religion and philosophy held more truth than those of other cultures. Next his staff searched for potential parents among the Hebrews, the descendants of Abraham, and eventually nominated three couples. Gabriel chose Mary and Joseph: biologically they both had excellent genes and socially they held enough status to offer Jesus his best chance to fulfill his destiny.

Joseph was a Jew of the Jews. His father’s family line went back to Abraham and far beyond, but not quite all the way back to Adam. His most recent ancestors came from the trades: masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, etcetera. Joseph began as a carpenter and then later contracted his own jobs. Mary’s lineage also went back into the mists of time, and it was one of the most illustrious of the Jews. Her line was a composite of many different tribes and included some of the most important women in Earth’s history, including Eve.

Excerpt: Prologue 6/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Since they had first been dispersed across the world, the Jews held together as a community in three ways: first, they all hoped for a Jewish savior to free them from the Romans; second, they all believed that Jerusalem was the center of their religion: for every Jew in Jesus’ era, Jerusalem was the most important place in all the world, and third, they held their community together under the bigoted belief that they were God’s chosen people: they were the Jews, they were favored by God while others were not, and the stronger the particular Jew’s faith was the more arrogant, self-righteous, and disrespectful the person was to people not Jewish. The Jews called everyone else a gentile, and anything gentile was held in utter contempt. The one exception to the gentile’s status were those gentile friends of the Jews who more or less accepted the Jewish faith, and because of that had been given their own separate place to meet on the outside edge of the synagogues. As Jesus’ message spread through the Jewish community it was this group of gentiles attached to the Jews that took it to heart, and later after Jesus was killed it was from these gentiles that Paul recruited the majority of his converts.

The Jews’ bigotry, their insistence that they were God’s chosen people, and their contempt for and lack of kindness and tolerance toward anyone or anything not Jewish caused them most of their problems. This arrogance blinded them to Jesus’ message that all people are equal under God, that every person has a unique personal connection with God resident in their minds, and that no priest, religion, ceremony, or tradition is needed or desired to worship God. But most of the Jews, especially their rabbis and religious enforcers, insisted that God was theirs and theirs alone and they were not inclined to share him with anyone.

Excerpt: Prologue 5/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Even so, people were ready for a spiritual revival. Syria and Palestine were the crossroads to three continents and the Roman Empire had brought cultures together from across the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin. While society was divided into a few rich people, their slaves, and many poor the land was mostly peaceful. Nazareth was in the center of this hub where travelers from around the world rested and exchanged ideas, goods, and knowledge.

The Jews were dispersed throughout the Roman empire. They were a well-organized people and built cultural centers in many of the cities where they lived. Overseeing everything in a Jew’s life were the scribes, Pharisees, and Sanhedrin: the Jewish priesthood and supreme court of law. The rabbis dominated the people and strictly bound them to religious traditions and ancient laws long ago handed down by Moses.

Excerpt: Prologue 4/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

In obedience to his Father’s will, during this bestowal into mortal form Michael was tasked with defeating the rebels—the fallen archangel Lucifer; the midway traitor Beelzebub; Urantia’s Planetary Prince, Caligastia, and all of the other nefarious minions who had given in to their lies and disloyalty—and end the Luciferic Rebellion. Furthermore, Michael had to win this battle without using his powers as a creator son, which would have allowed him to annihilate the rebels at will. Instead, Michael was directed to defeat these once great spiritual beings by nothing more than his demonstration of living a superb life in obedience to his Father’s will: a life in perfect harmony with the Paradise Trinity. By doing so Michael’s grace, dignity, and elegance would destroy the rebels’ lies and demonstrate to the entire cosmos the power of faith in and obedience to the will of God the Father. When Michael defeated the rebels and ended the rebellion it opened the path to terminating the spiritual quarantine that has kept our world from knowing our Father. The path to peace on Earth has been revealed, and we will soon take our rightful place in the universe.

Son of Man: Urantia, is the story of Jesus’ life on Earth and Michael’s final assumption of sovereignty over Nebadon in harmony with the Paradise Trinity as has been certified by the Ancient of Days.

Excerpt: Prologue 3/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Michael’s incarnation as a helpless babe of the realm contained many risks. Our planetary system of material worlds had experienced rebellion against the Paradise Trinity and the rebels were still in play: they were intent on stopping Michael’s assumption of full authority over his universe. Michael’s aids searched all of Nebadon looking for suitable planets on which he could be born. Finally, Michael chose the planet Urantia in the system Satania. We are one of 666 worlds in Satania whose planetary prince succumbed to the false arguments of Lucifer, the greatest of the fallen children of light and the leader of the Luciferic Rebellion against the Paradise Trinity in Paradise.

Earth and the other planets involved suffered much from this war in the heavens. Our Adam and Eve, those celestial beings brought to new planets to uplift the mortals on them, failed in their mission. Their disloyalty sent our world into chaos, violence, and spiritual confusion from which we have yet to recover. As a result, our planet and all of the others involved in Lucifer’s rebellion were placed into spiritual quarantine: since that time we have been shut off from contact with all other worlds in Nebadon so we would not diminish the level of God’s presence in the rest of the superuniverse.

Excerpt: Prologue 2/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

Michael’s seventh and final experience of bestowing himself as one of his universe creatures took place on Earth as the son of man, Jesus of Nazareth. This bestowal experience was much different than the six he had already completed. Before, when Michael incarnated as one of his celestial personalities he arrived on that world as a fully mature member of that order of intelligence. Created beings are brought to consciousness knowing themselves to be citizens of a greater universe: they have no question of God’s existence, nor any need for the motivational force we know as faith.

Humans—mortals born on the material worlds of time and space—are not created beings: they must evolve to maturity and grow in their understanding of God the Father. Human beings are born like all other animals on the material worlds, and like all other animals we are born without souls. But different from animals, we have the potential to form eternal souls because most of us have minds complex enough to make a moral choice: the ability to choose truth, beauty, and goodness over that not. The first time a child demonstrates that ability though an actual choice, God knows that a new human personality capable of doing his will has come into existence and immediately God invests himself in that mind through an entity called a Thought Adjuster. This event of God actually becoming resident in the person’s mind begins the long process of the Thought Adjuster conditioning that finite mortal mind to know the eternity, infinity, and universality of God its Father.

Excerpt: Prologue 1/6
Son of Man: Urantia, 2nd ed.

From Paradise—the center of all creation, the home of the Paradise Trinity, and the destiny of all eternal souls—came forth a creator son like had happened 611,120 times in the past. This creator son’s name is Michael, and four hundred billion years ago he began creating, evolving, and perfecting his universe to be in harmony with God the Father, God the Eternal Son, and God the Infinite Spirit. From our perspective on Earth, Michael’s universe, Nebadon, is our known creation: yet unknown to us it is but one of many universes in a much vaster cosmos, each of which is filled with innumerable worlds and orders of celestial beings.
