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.
