Original Question Who established the new revelation Brother?

Answer

The Who:

The establishment of these new 5th Epochal Revelations on Urantia was assigned by The Ancients of Days on Uversa the Capital of our Super Universe seen in our night skies as the Milky Way. Upon this assignment by the Ancients of Days a revelatory commission of Divine Sons of God were assembled to come to Urantia in the mid 1900 hundreds and to make these presentations known to us as the Urantia Papers and printed as the Urantia Book and then made available to the citizens of this world by those who entered into this work.

The order and sometimes the names of these Divine Sons of God that formed the revelatory commission and authored the papers are shown at the end of each of the Papers. When reading these papers it is wise to first check the author of the paper.

These authors are all living beings, our older brothers and sisters with personalities and endowed with great latitude to descend and commune with Gods youngest sons and daughters living upon the whirling worlds of space.

Revelatory religion is propounded by the real spiritual world; it is the response of the superintellectual cosmos to the mortal hunger to believe in, and depend upon, the universal Deities. Evolutionary religion pictures the circuitous gropings of humanity in quest of truth; revelatory religion is that very truth.

These inditements of the revelatory religion of love seek to evolve and transform mortal man into the image and likeness of God. Revelatory religion is excellent as well as genuine.

Re: The Life and Teachings of Jesus:

  120:0.1 ASSIGNED by Gabriel to supervise the restatement of the life of Michael (Jesus)when on Urantia and in the likeness of mortal flesh, I, the Melchizedek director of the revelatory commission intrusted with this task, am authorized to present this narrative of certain events which immediately preceded the Creator Son's arrival on Urantia to embark upon the terminal phase of his universe bestowal experience. To live such identical lives as he imposes upon the intelligent beings of his own creation, thus to bestow himself in the likeness of his various orders of created beings, is a part of the price which every Creator Son must pay for the full and supreme sovereignty of his self-made universe of things and beings.

These presentations were done in co-operation with our human cousins the midway beings who live with us on earth just outside the human range of vision.

121:8.13 The memoranda which I have collected, and from which I have prepared this narrative of the life and teachings of Jesus -- aside from the memory of the record of the Apostle Andrew -- embrace thought gems and superior concepts of Jesus' teachings assembled from more than two thousand human beings who have lived on earth from the days of Jesus down to the time of the inditing of these revelations, more correctly restatements. The revelatory permission has been utilized only when the human record and human concepts failed to supply an adequate thought pattern. My revelatory commission forbade me to resort to extrahuman sources of either information or expression until such a time as I could testify that I had failed in my efforts to find the required conceptual expression in purely human sources.

So the presentations of the Life and Teachings of Jesus are contemporary. The narrators of this restatement were not only present but also partaking of the mission of Jesus, They were assigned to watch over Jesus during his youth and also one of them was assigned to each of his apostles by Jesus. And after Judith's decision of betrayal this midwayer was assigned to one of David's messengers.

  182:2.5 After the eight apostles had finally gone to their tents, and while Peter, James, and John were standing by to receive the Master's orders, Jesus called to David Zebedee, "Send to me your most fleet and trustworthy messenger." When David brought to the Master one Jacob, once a runner on the overnight messenger service between Jerusalem and Bethsaida, Jesus, addressing him, said: "In all haste, go to Abner at Philadelphia and say: `The Master sends greetings of peace to you and says that the hour has come when he will be delivered into the hands of his enemies, who will put him to death, but that he will rise from the dead and appear to you shortly, before he goes to the Father, and that he will then give you guidance to the time when the new teacher shall come to live in your hearts.'" And when Jacob had rehearsed this message to the Master's satisfaction, Jesus sent him on his way, saying: "Fear not what any man may do to you, Jacob, for this night an unseen messenger will run by your side."

How it was done as these Divine Sons now on Urantia were invisible to the human eye.

  38:9.9 The gap between the material and spiritual worlds is perfectly bridged by the serial association of mortal man, secondary midwayer, primary midwayer, morontia cherubim, mid-phase cherubim, and seraphim. In the personal experience of an individual mortal these diverse levels are undoubtedly more or less unified and made personally meaningful by the unobserved and mysterious operations of the divine Thought Adjuster.

The midway beings received the revelations from the Divine Monitor of a member of the Planetary Reserve Corps of Destiny while in a deep sleep from which he could not be awakened from until the unobserved and mysterious operations of the divine Thought Adjuster were completed.

One midwayer received the text from the sleeping subject. A second midway being transcribed in writing with pencil and paper each of the papers which then were left on the night table of the sleeping reservist. (He was in the habit of keeping pencil and paper on his night table long before the revelations arrived as his night seasons often brought forth information and inspirations he used in his daily work) When these papers were typed and proof read the planetary midwayers took their hand written copies of the papers. These papers were examined by handwriting experts and the handwriting on them was not the handwriting of the sleeping reservist. 

Every attempt to keep them from taking these papers was made by putting them in a safe, and even a safety deposit box in a bank but every paper disappeared after it was typed onto papers and the proof reading completed. This was done by the midwayers under the instructions of the revelatory commission. They were told that these revelations must stand upon the merit of their content and that nothing that would arouse undue adoration should remain as a relic of the transactions between the hosts of heaven and their human associates (Conscious members and contact personalities of The Planetary Reserve Corps of Destiny) working in liaison with each other until the completion of this work. The identity of the sleeping reservist was sworn to secrecy and permission to publish the papers was granted by the revelatory commission after the natural death of the reservist through whom the papers arrived on Urantia. The Urantia Papers were then printed as the Urantia Book on October 12th 1955. 

The papers themselves say this about the reservist.

  110:5.7 The Adjuster of the human being through whom this communication is being made enjoys such a wide scope of activity chiefly because of this human's almost complete indifference to any outward manifestations of the Adjuster's inner presence; it is indeed fortunate that he remains consciously quite unconcerned about the entire procedure. He holds one of the highly experienced Adjusters of his day and generation, and yet his passive reaction to, and inactive concern toward, the phenomena associated with the presence in his mind of this versatile Adjuster is pronounced by the guardian of destiny to be a rare and fortuitous reaction. And all this constitutes a favorable co-ordination of influences, favorable both to the Adjuster in the higher sphere of action and to the human partner from the standpoints of health, efficiency, and tranquillity.

Throughout the book information on the various authors of the papers is presented such as.

   56:10.23 This paper on Universal Unity is the twenty-fifth of a series of presentations by various authors, having been sponsored as a group by a commission of Nebadon personalities numbering twelve and acting under the direction of Mantutia Melchizedek. We indited these narratives and put them in the English language, by a technique authorized by our superiors, in the year 1934 of Urantia time.

  56:10.22 Presented by a Mighty Messenger visiting on Urantia, by request of the Nebadon Revelatory Corps and in collaboration with a certain Melchizedek, the vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia. (Machiventa Melchizedek is the vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia)

1. Hinduism -- the most ancient.

2. The Hebrew religion.

3. Buddhism.

The Purpose of Epochal Revelations  | Authoritative Epochal Revelations

Truth is always a revelation: autorevelation when it emerges as a result of the work of the indwelling Adjuster; epochal revelation when it is presented by the function of some other celestial agency, group, or personality.

In the last analysis, religion is to be judged by its fruits, according to the manner and the extent to which it exhibits its own inherent and divine excellence.

Truth may be but relatively inspired, even though revelation is invariably a spiritual phenomenon. While statements with reference to cosmology are never inspired, such revelations are of immense value in that they at least transiently clarify knowledge by:

1. The reduction of confusion by the authoritative elimination of error.

2. The co-ordination of known or about-to-be-known facts and observations.

3. The restoration of important bits of lost knowledge concerning epochal transactions in the distant past.

4. The supplying of information which will fill in vital missing gaps in otherwise earned knowledge.

5. Presenting cosmic data in such a manner as to illuminate the spiritual teachings contained in the accompanying revelation.

You may also be interested in knowing that Jesus himself prophesied the coming of these new revelations while on Urantia.

  176:2.3 In further answer to Peter's question, Jesus said: "Why do you still look for the Son of Man to sit upon the throne of David and expect that the material dreams of the Jews will be fulfilled? Have I not told you all these years that my kingdom is not of this world? The things which you now look down upon are coming to an end, but this will be a new beginning out of which the gospel of the kingdom will go to all the world and this salvation will spread to all peoples. And when the kingdom shall have come to its full fruition, be assured that the Father in heaven will not fail to visit you with an enlarged revelation of truth and an enhanced demonstration of righteousness, even as he has already bestowed upon this world him who became the prince of darkness , and then Adam, who was followed by Melchizedek, and in these days, the Son of Man. And so will my Father continue to manifest his mercy and show forth his love, even to this dark and evil world. So also will I, after my Father has invested me with all power and authority, continue to follow your fortunes and to guide in the affairs of the kingdom by the presence of my spirit, who shall shortly be poured out upon all flesh. Even though I shall thus be present with you in spirit, I also promise that I will sometime return to this world, where I have lived this life in the flesh and achieved the experience of simultaneously revealing God to man and leading man to God. Very soon must I leave you and take up the work the Father has intrusted to my hands, but be of good courage, for I will sometime return. In the meantime, my Spirit of the Truth of a universe shall comfort and guide you.
