95:5.1 The teachings of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amenemope_%28author%29 Amenemope] were slowly losing their hold on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_religion Egyptian mind] when, through the [[influence]] of an Egyptian Salemite [[physician]], a woman of the royal family espoused the [[Melchizedek]] teachings. This [[woman]] prevailed upon her son, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhanaton Ikhnaton], Pharaoh of Egypt, to [[accept]] these [[doctrines]] of One God.

95:5.2 Since the disappearance of [[Melchizedek]] in the [[flesh]], no [[human being]] up to that time had possessed such an amazingly clear [[concept]] of the [[revealed]] [[religion]] of [[Salem]] as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhanaton Ikhnaton]. In some respects this young Egyptian king is one of the most remarkable [[persons]] in [[human]] [[history]]. During this time of increasing [[spiritual]] depression in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesopotamia Mesopotamia], he kept alive the [[doctrine]] of [[El Elyon]], the One God, in Egypt, thus maintaining the philosophic [[monotheistic]] [[channel]] which was vital to the [[religious]] background of the then [[future]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_120 bestowal of Michael]. And it was in [[recognition]] of this exploit, among other reasons, that the child [[Jesus]] was taken to Egypt, where some of the [[spiritual]] successors of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhanaton Ikhnaton] saw him and to some extent [[understood]] certain [[phases]] of his [[divine]] mission to [[Urantia]].

95:5.3 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], the greatest [[character]] between [[Melchizedek]] and [[Jesus]], was the joint gift to the world of the [[Hebrew]] [[race]] and the Egyptian royal family; and had Ikhnaton [[possessed]] the [[versatility]] and [[ability]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moses Moses], had he [[manifested]] a [[political]] [[genius]] to match his surprising [[religious]] [[leadership]], then would Egypt have become the great [[monotheistic]] nation of that age; and if this had happened, it is barely possible that [[Jesus]] might have lived the greater portion of his [[mortal]] life in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egypt Egypt].

95:5.13 The teaching of [[immortality]] for all men was too advanced for the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Egyptian_Religion Egyptians]. Only [[kings]] and the rich were promised a [[resurrection]]; therefore did they so carefully embalm and preserve their [[bodies]] in [[tombs]] against the day of [[judgment]]. But the [[democracy]] of [[salvation]] and [[resurrection]] as taught by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhanaton Ikhnaton] [[eventually]] prevailed, even to the extent that the Egyptians later believed in the [[survival]] of dumb animals.

95:5.14 Although the [[effort]] of this Egyptian ruler to impose the [[worship]] of one [[God]] upon his people appeared to fail, it should be [[recorded]] that the [[repercussions]] of his [[work]] [[persisted]] for centuries both in [[Palestine]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Greece Greece]], and that Egypt thus became the [[agent]] for transmitting the combined [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:3._THE_NATURE_OF_EVOLUTIONARY_RELIGION evolutionary culture] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley Nile] and the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_92#92:4._THE_GIFT_OF_REVELATION revelatory religion] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer Euphrates] to all of the subsequent peoples of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occident Occident].

95:5.15 The [[glory]] of this great era of [[moral]] [[development]] and [[spiritual]] [[growth]] in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile_valley Nile valley] was rapidly passing at about the time the national life of the [[Hebrews]] was beginning, and consequent upon their [[sojourn]] in Egypt these [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedouin Bedouins] carried away much of these teachings and perpetuated many of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ikhanaton Ikhnaton]'s [[doctrines]] in their racial [[religion]].
