93:8.1 It was shortly after the destruction of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodom_and_Gomorrah Sodom and Gomorrah] that [[Machiventa]] decided to end his [[emergency]] [[bestowal]] on [[Urantia]]. [[Melchizedek]]'s [[decision]] to terminate his [[sojourn]] in the [[flesh]] was [[influenced]] by numerous conditions, chief of which was the growing [[tendency]] of the [[surrounding]] [[tribes]], and even of his [[immediate]] associates, to regard him as a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demigod demigod], to look upon him as a [[supernatural]] [[being]], which indeed he was; but they were beginning to [[reverence]] him unduly and with a highly [[superstitious]] [[fear]]. In addition to these reasons, [[Melchizedek]] wanted to leave the scene of his [[earthly]] [[activities]] a sufficient length of time before [[Abraham]]'s [[death]] to insure that the [[truth]] of the [[Monotheism|one and only God]] would become strongly [[established]] in the [[minds]] of his followers. Accordingly [[Machiventa]] retired one night to his tent at [[Salem]], having said good night to his [[human]] companions, and when they went to call him in the morning, he was not there, for his fellows had taken him.
