BERTRAM: My little one, how [[perceptive]] of you. We do have a [[message]] for you and to all who will read this message in the [[future]]. It is the future which we wish to relate to you this morning.
    +
You have just watched the introduction to the movie “[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apocalypse_II:_Revelation Revelation]” on television tonight. This movie is indeed a fairly true presentation, in cinema format, of what is believed in the [[fundamentalist]] churches of [[Christianity]] today, and it will certainly reinforce their [[beliefs]] and sway many. You were right in your [[evaluation]] of this program and of the one you saw last night, “Quest for Love.” Both did not directly mention the [[love]] of [[God the Father]]. The latter was the search for love by some of the authors of the [[New Age]] movement that you once so ardently [[embraced]]. They failed to recognize the loving hand of the [[Universal Father]] in the affairs and [[relationships]] of [[humankind]].

They failed to understand [[the Father]]’s love to us during this [[Correcting Time]] of [[trials]] upon the earth. The Father is not here to punish and destroy at the hand of an [[Anti-Christ]].
    +
[[Mankind]] brings his own [[trials]] upon himself by his [[rejection]] of the higher way of life which [[Christ Michael]] plainly [[revealed]] while on earth through his life and his teachings. In their humanness and in their [[passions]] of [[belief]] in [[Paper 187|the death]] and [[Paper 189|resurrection of Jesus]], the [[apostles]] gradually forgot to teach the [[heart]] of [[the Gospel]] of the Kingdom and taught a new religion about Jesus, instead of the gospel of Jesus, his gospel which he taught to them, and it continues to be so to this very day.

+
Master [[Michael]] brought the good news of the great, world-wide [[brotherhood]] of [[mankind]], thus [[revealing]] that you are, indeed, the children of the living God, and that he is your Creator Father of [[Nebadon|this universe]], and that in [[trusting]] him, in believing him and [[understanding]] him, having [[faith]] in him, that what he revealed was the revelation of the [[fatherhood of God]] and His love for all His children.
    +
Now it has been [[revealed]] to you the [[cosmic brotherhood]] of all God’s children throughout all [[time and space]].
   −
They failed to understand the Father’s love to us during this Correcting Time of trials upon the earth. The Father is not here to punish and destroy at the hand of an Anti-Christ.
+
It was indeed difficult for [[humanity]], in the [[Paper 121|times of Christ Michael’s bestowal]] on your planet, to grasp such extended and expanded [[knowledge]] of the [[truth]] of God. It would have been far beyond their grasp to even [[conceive]] of even your earth as a sphere orbiting around the [[sun]], much less the concept of [[local universe]]s, [[superuniverses]], a [[central universe]], an isle of [[paradise]]. Even the concept of [[Paradise Sons of God]] would have believed to be [[blasphemous]] just as even today, the worlds churches will find this truth hard to [[embrace]]. The [[idea]] of the [[Monotheism|One God]] concept, yet embracing 700 thousand [[Creator Sons]], ruling in the superuniveses and eventually into [[outer space]], will be seen as inconceivable [[heresy]].
    +
[[Humanity]] has been allowed to [[progress]] until now, in their now old and outdated [[concepts]].
   −
Mankind brings his own trials upon himself by his rejection of the higher way of life which Christ Michael plainly revealed while on earth through his life and his teachings. In their humanness and in their passions of belief in the death and resurrection of Jesus, the apostles gradually forgot to teach the heart of the Gospel of the Kingdom and taught a new religion about Jesus, instead of the gospel of Jesus, his gospel which he taught to them, and it continues to be so to this very day.
+
But now it is time for a new [[awakening]] of [[truth]], a time for the [[correction]] of old concepts, [[traditions]] and [[dogmas]], even more so now, with the true [[revelation]] delivered into your hands in the written form of your [[Urantia Book]]. The world now [[hungers]] for this [[knowledge]], this precious knowledge delivered to you at the close of this present age, at the close of this millennium. Dedicated workers are needed now to carry [[Urantia]] over into this [[new age]], into this new world order of tomorrow.
    +
“Urantia is now quivering on the very brink of one of its most amazing and enthralling epochs of social readjustment, moral quickening, and spiritual enlightenment.” [[195:9|Pg. 2082 of your Urantia Book (195:9.2)]].

Master Michael brought the good news of the great, world-wide brotherhood of mankind, thus revealing that you are, indeed, the children of the living God, and that he is your Creator Father of this universe, and that in trusting him, in believing him and understanding him, having faith in him, that what he revealed was the revelation of the fatherhood of God and His love for all His children.
+
This is true indeed. All you need do is look around you and you will see this [[Correcting Time]] taking place now. Consider the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars war in Yugoslavia], the [[violence]] in your [[schools]], the violence in your [[homes]], the [[corruption]] and moral decay in your [[societies]] and your [[politics]], even in your sports and recreation. Reactions are being taken to produce [[change]] but what is also needed is [[courageous]] men and women who will come forth and [[lead]] your people into the ways and teachings of [[Christ Michael]].
    +
Only when each child of [[the Father]] begins to realize how much he is loved and cared for, will that [[soul]] begin to cherish his own [[life]] and find [[purpose]], and begin to see and love his brother in that kinship with the Father and with each other.
   −
Now it has been revealed to you the cosmic brotherhood of all God’s children throughout all time and space.
+
LOVE IS THE ANSWER. GOD IS LOVE. GOD IS THE ANSWER.
    +
*Only when God’s children begin to truly realize this [[eternal]] [[truth]] and begin to [[desire]] to [[become]] more [[God-like]], striving for that [[perfection]] will the world begin to [[transform]] into the beginning stages of [[life and light]].
 +
*Only then will the earth be [[transformed]] into [[heaven]] on earth.
 +
*Only then will the [[darkness]] be dispersed and the [[light]] of truth and love shine forth.

The idea of the One God concept, yet embracing 700 thousand Creator Sons, ruling in the superuniveses and eventually into outer space, will be seen as inconceivable heresy.
+
It is so important that [[families]] be turned around, that [[parents]] begin to spend time with their children and [[listen]] to them, truly listen. Family [[unity]] built on love and mutual [[respect]] having the true gospel at its core is needed now.
    +
*All must come to realize [[the Father]]’s [[love]] and [[purpose]] for His children.
 +
*All must begin to develop self-[[government]] of their own nature.
    +
Self-love, self-respect, [[self-esteem]], [[self-control]], all are needed to raise the self to a higher level of living in [[harmony]] with the will of [[the Father]]; to bring [[peace]] of mind and [[heart]] and [[soul]] and [[eventually]] peace on earth. Only then will [[mankind]] be truly civilized.

The [[future]] indeed looks bleak with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugoslav_Wars war in Yugoslavia], rumours of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_war more war in Iraq], the horrendous acts of violence in your [[schools]], your [[homes]], on your streets, in your [[cities]].

This we must yet again [[admonish]] you, the [[end of the world]] is not going to happen!

Only be [[prepared]] to do your part and to be a [[light]] to those about you as you, by the lives you live, shine a light upon the [[pathway]] to [[peace]].

[[Study]] your true [[revelation]] sent to you from above to show your world the way to peace and how to live that [[peace]] here on your [[beautiful]] planet home and during your [[ascension]] [[journey]] home. Therein lies your [[destiny]], your [[promise]] from [[the Father]].

The RACE FOR PERFECTION is on!
    +
WHOSOEVER WILL MAY ENTER, and certain [[victory]] will crown the [[efforts]] of every [[human being]] who will run the race of [[faith]] and [[trust]], depending every step of the way on the [[leading]] of the [[indwelling Adjuster]] and on the [[guidance]] of that [[Sot|good spirit of the Universe Son]], which so freely has been poured out upon all flesh. ”
