170:4.4 This world has never seriously or [[sincerely]] or [[honestly]] tried out these [[dynamic]] [[ideas]] and [[divine]] [[ideals]] of [[Jesus]]' [[doctrine]] of the ''kingdom of heaven''. But you should not become [[discouraged]] by the [[apparently]] slow [[progress]] of the kingdom idea on [[Urantia]]. [[Remember]] that the order of [[progressive]] [[evolution]] is subjected to sudden and unexpected [[periodical]] [[changes]] in both the [[material]] and the [[spiritual]] worlds. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal of Jesus] as an [[incarnated]] [[Creator Son|Son]] was just such a [[strange]] and unexpected [[event]] in the spiritual life of the world. Neither make the [[fatal]] mistake, in looking for the age [[manifestation]] of the kingdom, of [[failing]] to [[Self Realization|effect]] its [[establishment]] within your own [[souls]].

170:4.5 Although [[Jesus]] referred one [[phase]] of the kingdom to the [[future]] and did, on numerous occasions, intimate that such an [[event]] might [[appear]] as a part of a world [[crisis]]; and though he did likewise most certainly, on several occasions, definitely [[promise]] sometime to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:2._THE_MASTER.27S_SECOND_COMING return] to [[Urantia]], it should be [[recorded]] that he never [[positively]] linked these [[two]] [[ideas]] together. He [[promised]] a new [[revelation]] of the kingdom on [[earth]] and at some [[future]] time; he also [[promised]] sometime to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_176#176:4._THE_RETURN_OF_MICHAEL come back] to this world in [[person]]; but he did not say that these two [[events]] were synonymous. From all we [[know]] these [[promises]] may, or may not, refer to the same [[event]].

170:4.6 His [[apostles]] and [[disciples]] most certainly linked these two teachings [[together]]. When the kingdom [[failed]] to [[materialize]] as they had [[expected]], recalling [[the Master]]'s teaching concerning a [[future]] kingdom and remembering his [[promise]] to come again, they jumped to the conclusion that these [[promises]] referred to an identical [[event]]; and therefore they lived in [[hope]] of his immediate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_coming second coming] to [[establish]] the kingdom in its fullness and with [[power]] and [[glory]]. And so have [[successive]] believing [[generations]] lived on [[earth]] entertaining the same [[inspiring]] but [[disappointing]] [[hope]].
