136:5.4 In accepting this command of the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39 universe hosts] in attendance upon [[Christ]] [[Michael]], the [[Personalized Adjuster]] took great pains to point out to [[Jesus]] that, while such an assembly of universe [[creatures]] could be limited in their [[space]] [[activities]] by the [[delegated]] [[authority]] of their [[Creator Son|Creator]], such [[limitations]] were not operative in connection with their [[function]] in [[time]]. And this limitation was dependent on the [[fact]] that [[Thought Adjuster|Adjusters]] are nontime [[beings]] when once they are [[personalized]]. Accordingly was [[Jesus]] admonished that, while [[the Adjuster]]'s [[control]] of the living [[intelligences]] placed under his command would be complete and [[perfect]] as to all matters involving [[space]], there could be no such perfect limitations imposed regarding [[time]]. Said the Adjuster: " I will, as you have directed, enjoin the employment of this attendant [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39 host] of universe intelligences in any [[manner]] in connection with your [[earth]] [[career]] except in those cases where the [[Paradise Father]] directs me to release such [[agencies]] in order that his divine will of your choosing may be accomplished, and in those instances where you may [[engage]] in any [[choice]] or [[act]] of your [[divine]]-[[human]] will which shall only involve departures from the [[natural]] [[earth]] order as to time. In all such [[events]] I am powerless, and your [[creatures]] here assembled in [[perfection]] and unity of [[power]] are likewise helpless. If your united [[natures]] once entertain such [[desires]], these [[mandates]] of your [[choice]] will be forthwith [[executed]]. Your [[wish]] in all such matters will constitute the [[abridgment]] of time, and the [[thing]] projected is existent. Under my command this constitutes the fullest possible [[limitation]] which can be imposed upon your [[potential]] [[sovereignty]]. In my [[self-consciousness]] [[time]] is nonexistent, and therefore I cannot [[limit]] your creatures in anything related thereto. "

136:5.5 Thus did [[Jesus]] become apprised of the working out of his [[decision]] to go on living as a man among men. He had by a single [[decision]] excluded all of his attendant [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_39 universe hosts] of [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_38 varied intelligences] from [[participating]] in his ensuing [[public]] ministry except in such matters as concerned [[time]] only. It therefore becomes [[evident]] that any possible [[supernatural]] or supposedly [[superhuman]] accompaniments of [[Jesus]]' ministry pertained wholly to the elimination of [[time]] unless [[the Father]] in heaven specifically ruled otherwise. No [[miracle]], ministry of [[mercy]], or any other possible [[event]] occurring in connection with [[Jesus]]' remaining [[earth]] labors could possibly be of the [[nature]] or [[character]] of an [[act]] [[transcending]] the [[natural law]]s established and regularly working in the affairs of man as he lives on [[Urantia]] except in this expressly stated matter of time. No limits, of [[course]], could be placed upon the [[manifestations]] of " [[the Father]]'s will. " The elimination of [[time]] in connection with the [[expressed]] [[desire]] of this [[potential]] [[Master Son|Sovereign]] of a universe could only be avoided by the direct and explicit [[act]] of the will of this God-man to the [[effect]] that [[time]], as related to the [[act]] or [[event]] in question, should not be shortened or eliminated. In order to [[prevent]] the [[appearance]] of apparent time [[miracles]], it was [[necessary]] for [[Jesus]] to remain constantly time [[conscious]]. Any lapse of time [[consciousness]] on his part, in connection with the entertainment of definite [[desire]], was equivalent to the enactment of the [[thing]] conceived in the [[mind]] of this [[Creator Son]], and without the [[intervention]] of [[time]].

136:5.6 Through the supervising [[control]] of his associated and [[Personalized Adjuster]] it was possible for [[Michael]] perfectly to [[limit]] his [[personal]] [[earth]] activities with [[reference]] to [[space]], but it was not possible for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Son_of_Man Son of Man] thus to limit his new earth [[status]] as potential [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_21#21:3._LOCAL_UNIVERSE_SOVEREIGNTY Sovereign of Nebadon] as regards time. And this was the actual [[status]] of [[Jesus]] of [[Nazareth]] as he went forth to begin his [[public]] ministry on [[Urantia]].
