Urantia Book 53:1.2 Lucifer was a magnificent being, a brilliant personality; he stood next to the Most High Fathers of the constellations in the direct line of universe authority. Notwithstanding Lucifer’s transgression, subordinate intelligences refrained from showing him disrespect and disdain prior to Michael’s bestowal on Urantia. Even the archangel of Michael, at the time of Moses’ resurrection, “did not bring against him an accusing judgment but simply said, ‘the Judge rebuke you.’” Judgment in such matters belongs to the Ancients of Days, the rulers of the superuniverse.

Jude 1:9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!”

The Book of Jude 1:9 talks about the resurrection of Moses, an event that took place BEFORE Jesus was born. When you see an archangel coming to attend to someone who has died, then you know it's about the resurrection of that person.

The Apostle Paul understood this when he talked about a future resurrection event. In 1 Thessalonians 4:16, he wrote, "For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first".

Jesus was not the first individual to die, resurrect, and go to heaven. Even before Christ incarnated here as Jesus, he was already using his power and authority to resurrect people and take them to heaven BECAUSE HE IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. There are even people he took to heaven without them having to taste death. Enoch and Elijah are very popular examples. They qualified for it because of the very high level of combined intelligence and spirituality they attained. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW.

Jesus' 14th and 15th Years

Dr. Roger Paul led a discussion on the crucial years of Jesus' life, specifically his 14th and 15th years. He emphasized that these years were the most challenging for Jesus, as he transitioned from childhood to young adulthood and grappled with self-consciousness of his divinity and destiny. Dr. Paul also highlighted that Jesus faced more significant challenges than typical adolescents due to his dual personality. The conversation ended with Gary restarting the discussion from the beginning.

Jesus's Life in Nazareth Discussed

In the meeting, Gary discussed the importance of a particular period in Jesus's life, focusing on his return to Nazareth and his relationship with his parents. Dr. Paul added that this period was significant as Jesus's father died, and he had to take over the family. Rodney highlighted Jesus's growing love for the Jewish people and his respect for sincere Pharisees, but his contempt for hypocritical ones. Dr. Paul also mentioned that Jesus's mother, Mary, believed he was destined to be the Jewish Messiah, while his father had a different view. The group also discussed the expectations of the people in Nazareth, who looked forward to Jesus reading the Scriptures in the synagogue at the age of 15.

Jesus' Life and Divine Nature

The group discusses Jesus' life at age 14, including his developing skills as a carpenter and his growing self-awareness of his divine nature. It then describes the tragic death of Joseph, Jesus' father, in a work accident. This event forces Jesus to take on the responsibility of supporting his family, including his mother and seven siblings, with another child on the way. The discussion emphasizes that divine intervention did not prevent this tragedy, allowing natural events to shape Jesus' life experiences, including the opportunity to raise children without having his own.

Jesus' Family Responsibilities and Divine Mission

The summary discusses Jesus' life and responsibilities after his father Joseph's death. Jesus takes on the role of family provider and caretaker, managing the family's finances and caring for his siblings, especially his youngest sister Ruth. He develops the prayer that later becomes known as the Lord's Prayer through his efforts to teach his siblings individual prayer. Jesus struggles with balancing his family obligations and his divine mission, ultimately recognizing that caring for his family is part of his Father's business. This experience proves valuable for his future ministry and helps him avoid potential criticism from religious leaders.

Jesus and the Book of Enoch

In the meeting, Lech discussed how Jesus found the term "Son of Man" in the Book of Enoch, which influenced his mission on Urantia. Jesus was not expected to be the Jewish Messiah, but he longed to help his father's people. He was certain he would not sit on the throne of David at Jerusalem or appear as the Son of Man depicted by the prophet Daniel. Dr. Paul shared that the Book of Enoch is not in the Bible but can be found on YouTube, and it contains stories about the Calagastia, 100, the nephilim, and the giants. Dr. Paul also mentioned that Jesus spent time reading the Book of Enoch to educate himself on what happened before he came to the planet. Gary and Rodney expressed their unfamiliarity with the Book of Enoch.

Religious Text Discussion and Prayer

The group concludes their discussion of a religious text, with Dr. Paul mentioning he's been called a heretic for his teachings. They decide to end the meeting earlier than usual, stopping at Paper 126, section 3:37. Rodney leads the group in a prayer of acceptance.
