This is the manifestation of Jesus’ promised “enhanced demonstration of righteousness” and the fulfillment of The URANTIA Book’s prophecy concerning the advent of the future teachers and leaders. These, having been born of the spirit, depending “solely” on Jesus and his teachings, and who will “exclusively devote” themselves to the spiritual regeneration of mankind, shall “supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world” (2082 D). The New Revelation of Jesus is nothing less than the second part of the Fifth Epochal Revelation, the promised compliment to its “expanded revelation of truth” found in The URANTIA Book, also promised by Jesus. It is at least the “enhanced demonstration of righteousness” for our time (ref. 1914 C).

A beautiful vision of how this transcendent service will be actualized is given elsewhere in the same Paper, especially in its sections 9, “Christianity’s Problem” and 10, “The Future”. There we see quite clearly that a spiritual movement is being foretold. If my timing is correct it should begin to take place in about the year A.D. 2021. But whether this dating is correct or not, we have been assured that “the revelation of God to the world, in and through Jesus, shall not fail” (2097 A).

What is being pictured in those pages is a worldwide, spirit-backed project with a goal of nothing short of the “spiritual regeneration of men” (2082 D) . And this project will be world changing: it will “quickly supply the leadership and inspiration requisite for the social, moral, economic, and political reorganization of the world” (2082 D - 2083 A).
