Hi brother Osbert,
I would like to add some important information about the revelations of God to this question as informational background. Information on both Epochal Revelations as well as autorevelations the steadfast method by which God brings about revelational evolution upon the whirling worlds of space. Bringing his children living on these worlds ever closer to Him. Our revelation reveals this declaration by Jesus to a young lad from India about your age concerning autorevelation and revelational evolution.
132:7.6 Then exclaimed Ganid: "Teacher, let's you and I make a new religion, one good enough for India and big enough for Rome, and maybe we can trade it to the Jews for Yahweh." And Jesus replied: "Ganid, religions are not made. The religions of men grow up over long periods of time, while the revelations of God flash upon earth in the lives of the men who reveal God to their fellows." But they did not comprehend the meaning of these prophetic words.
This attribute of the God knowing men and women is called autorevelation and known as revelational evolution.
101:4.3 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.
101:4.4 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.
Tumwijukye Simon just put a Poem about this on our Network
Along with revelational evolution their periodically appears Epochal Revelations when much older Divine Sons of God appear on Urantia (earth) in answer to the prayers from the evolving races of the world.
When these Divine Sons appear on our world they always clarify the information on all past Epochal Revelations, just as Jesus did when He arrived and made his mission public. Said Jesus to his apostles clarifying the past Epochal Revelations and predicting the Father would send our 5th Epochal Revelation.
176:2.3 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 (This is the 5th Epochal Revelation) and an enhanced demonstration of righteousness, even as he has already bestowed upon this world him who became the prince of darkness (This is the 1st Epochal Revelation), and then Adam (This is the 2nd Epochal Revelation), who was followed by Melchizedek, (This is the 3rd Epochal Revelation) and in these days, the Son of Man.(This was the 4th Epochal Revelation)
THE URANTIA PAPERS ARE THE 5TH EPOCHAL REVELATION FULFILLING THIS PROMISE OF JESUS the Father in heaven will not fail to visit you with an enlarged revelation of truth
We are living in the days when an Epochal Revelation has been presented to this world and a wonderful opportunity like the Apostles,Evangelist, Messengers, and Disciples had when they entered the work of Jesus bringing his gospel to this world.
