It is significant that this extraordinary [[event]] was [[timed]] to occur while [[Jesus]] and [[the apostles]] were in the [[land]]s of the [[gentiles]], and that it actually transpired on a [[mountain]] of the gentiles.<br />
<br />
158:1.3 They reached their destination, about halfway up the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon mountain], shortly before noon, and while eating lunch, [[Jesus]] told the three [[apostles]] something of his [[experience]] in the hills to the east of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_river Jordan] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#PAPER_136:_BAPTISM_AND_THE_FORTY_DAYS shortly after his baptism] and also some more of his [[experience]] on [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_134#134:8._THE_SOJOURN_ON_MOUNT_HERMON Mount Hermon] in [[connection]] with his former [[visit]] to this lonely [[retreat]].<br />
<br />
158:1.4 When a boy, [[Jesus]] used to ascend the hill near his [[home]] and [[dream]] of the [[battle]]s which had been fought by the armies of [[empires]] on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esdraelon plain of Esdraelon]; now he [[ascended]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon Mount Hermon] to [[receive]] the [[endowment]] which was to [[prepare]] him to [[descend]] upon the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordan_Valley_(Middle_East) plains of the Jordan] to enact the closing scenes of the [[drama]] of his [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal on Urantia]. [[The Master]] could have relinquished the [[struggle]] this day on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Hermon Mount Hermon] and returned to his rule of the [[universe]] [[domains]], but he not only chose to meet the requirements of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21 his order of divine sonship] [[embraced]] in the [[mandate]] of the [[Eternal Son]] on [[Paradise]], but he also [[elected]] to meet the last and full measure of the present will of his [[Paradise Father]]. On this day in August [[three]] of his [[apostles]] saw him decline to be invested with [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY full universe authority]. They looked on in [[amazement]] as the [[celestial]] [[messengers]] departed, leaving him [[alone]] to finish out his [[earth]] life as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] and the [[Son of God]].<br />
<br />
158:1.5 The [[faith]] of [[the apostles]] was at a high point at the time of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_152#152:3._THE_KING-MAKING_EPISODE feeding of the five thousand], and then it rapidly fell almost to zero. Now, as a result of [[the Master]]'s admission of his [[divinity]], the lagging [[faith]] of [[the twelve]] arose in the next few weeks to its highest pitch, only to undergo a [[progressive]] decline. The third [[revival]] of their [[faith]] did not occur until after [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_189 the Master's resurrection].<br />
<br />
158:1.6 It was about three o'clock on this [[beautiful]] afternoon that [[Jesus]] took leave of the [[three]] [[apostles]], saying: " I go apart by myself for a [[season]] to [[commune]] with [[the Father]] and his [[messengers]]; I bid you tarry here and, while awaiting my return, pray that [[the Father]]'s will may be done in all your [[experience]] in [[connection]] with the further [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal mission] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man]. " And after saying this to them, [[Jesus]] withdrew for a long [[conference]] with [[Gabriel]] and the [[Father Melchizedek]], not returning until about six o'clock. When [[Jesus]] saw their [[anxiety]] over his prolonged [[absence]], he said: " Why were you [[afraid]]? You well know I must be about [[Universal Father|my Father]]'s [[business]]; wherefore do you [[doubt]] when I am not with you? I now [[declare]] that the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] has [[chosen]] to go through his full life in your midst and as one of you. Be of [[good]] [[cheer]]; I will not leave you until my [[work]] is finished. "<br />
<br />
158:1.7 As they partook of their meager evening meal, [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] asked [[the Master]], " How long do we remain on this [[mountain]] away from our brethren? " And [[Jesus]] answered: " Until you shall see the [[glory]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] and know that whatsoever I have [[declared]] to you is true. " And they talked over the affairs of the [[Lucifer rebellion]] while seated about the glowing embers of their [[fire]] until [[darkness]] drew on and [[the apostles]]' eyes grew heavy, for they had begun their [[journey]] very early that morning.<br />
<br />
158:1.8 When the [[three]] had been fast [[asleep]] for about half an hour, they were suddenly [[awakened]] by a near-by crackling [[sound]], and much to their [[amazement]] and consternation, on looking about them, they beheld [[Jesus]] in [[intimate]] [[converse]] with two [[brilliant]] [[beings]] clothed in the habiliments of the [[light]] of the [[celestial]] world. And [[Jesus]]' face and form shone with the [[luminosity]] of a heavenly [[light]]. These [[three]] [[conversed]] in a [[strange]] [[language]], but from certain [[things]] said, [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[Error|erroneously]] [[conjecture]]d that the [[beings]] with [[Jesus]] were [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah]; in [[reality]], they were [[Gabriel]] and the [[Father Melchizedek]]. The [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_29#29:4._THE_MASTER_PHYSICAL_CONTROLLERS physical controllers] had arranged for the [[apostles]] to [[witness]] this scene because of [[Jesus]]' request.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_9]<br />
<br />
158:1.9 The [[three]] [[apostles]] were so badly [[Fear|frightened]] that they were slow in collecting their wits, but [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], who was first to recover himself, said, as the dazzling [[vision]] faded from before them and they [[observed]] [[Jesus]] standing alone: " [[Jesus]], Master, it is [[good]] to have been here. We [[rejoice]] to see this [[glory]]. We are loath to go back down to the inglorious world. If you are willing, let us abide here, and we will erect [[three]] tents, one for you, one for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], and one for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elijah Elijah]. " And [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] said this because of his [[confusion]], and because nothing else came into his [[mind]] at just that moment.[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Luke#Chapter_9]<br />
<br />
158:1.10 While [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] was yet [[speaking]], a silvery cloud drew near and overshadowed the four of them. [[The apostles]] now became greatly [[Fear|frightened]], and as they fell down on their faces to [[worship]], they heard a [[voice]], the same that had [[spoken]] on the occasion of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_136#136:2._THE_BAPTISM_OF_JESUS Jesus' baptism], say: " This is my beloved Son; give heed to him. "[http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_mark#Chapter_9] And when the cloud vanished, again was [[Jesus]] alone with the [[three]], and he reached down and [[touch]]ed them, saying: " Arise and be not [[afraid]]; you shall see greater things than this. " But [[the apostles]] were truly [[afraid]]; they were a [[silent]] and thoughtful trio as they made ready to [[descend]] the [[mountain]] shortly before midnight.<br />
