Changes

You are all veterans of a [[war]] in [[heaven]], each of you bear the marks of a battle, but the battle is not waged by our Father and his Son nor the structure of heaven. The battle is waged in the life of any who would choose to banish this love and would lead others into this darkness, but the [[reality]] of mercy, the [[truth]] of love, the [[spectacle]] of [[light]] is diminished in the lives of those who would turn from it. In this [[rebellion]] that you have survived, through which you have grown and beyond which you now move in confidence has been closed by the final [[choice]]s of those who would sustain their injury, refusing to receive the [[healing]] gift of [[mercy]].

You would [[inquire]] as to the details of [[drama]] which compose these courts of heaven. You have your own, and your minds do well to consider the likeness of [[human]] [[law]] to that of [[divine]]. It is indeed a distant [[reflection]], but unlike the courts of your [[earth]] which impose a verdict which may be wrong, it may be right, in either case, it may be resisted, it may be refused. In the courts of heaven, the finality of [[choice]] is affirmed by the one who would stand in [[judgement]]. There is the reflection of this choice, there is the portrait of its projection given to them for their own [[illumination]]. It is a judgement indeed brought by the one choosing. If there is contest, it is not in the court, it is in the life of the one choosing, and in the case of the adjudication of the [[Lucifer Rebellion]], it is a sight of these Sons choosing their own [http://mercy.urantia.org/cgi-bin/webglimpse/mfs/usr/local/www/data/papers?link=http://mercy.urantia.org/papers/paper15.html&file=/usr/local/www/data/papers/paper15.html&line=286#mfs extinction], choosing this in preference over the offer of redemption. It is a choice of refusal of a final [[nature]], it is the exercise of that freedom our Father would assure for each, and in this case, in the cases of each involved, it is a choice of refusal rather than affirmation.

[[Imagine]] if you will one convicted of crime in your own world and brought before a court of [[justice]] and in this court the details of the case are shared, reviewed, reflections are gathered and the [[knowledge]] of these choices is perfect, and the [[persons]] performing, executing these actions, witnesses their replay, and is offered a choice, and that choice manifests an image of their own life either restored or extinguished. The drama of [[decision]] in the court of heaven is in the one deciding. The court of heaven, the [[Ancients of Days]] recognize and carry out this choice, administer the justice sought. In the case of refusal, execution, termination of [[existence]] is immediate, final. The reverberations are many, for one [[being]], one child irreplaceable whether a lowly mortal or a trusted Son [[System Sovereign|sovereign over a system]], each are cherished, but become as if they had never been, their name is lost as they are. [[The Supreme]] absorbs the [[experience]], the [[value]] as part of his experience, as part of his unfolding [[sovereignty]], and in the case of mortals indwelt by [[Universal Father|our Father]], you know that all is salvaged that can be, that is enduring, by the [[Thought Adjuster|Adjuster]] and is given to another, and so it goes, so it is.
