Paper 176
Tuesday Evening on Mount Olivet
176:0.1 This Tuesday afternoon, as Jesus and the apostles passed
out of the temple on their way to the Gethsemane camp, Matthew,
calling attention to the temple construction, said:"Master,
observe what manner of buildings these are. See the massive
stones and the beautiful adornment; can it be that these buildings
are to be destroyed?"As they went on toward Olivet, Jesus
said:"You see these stones and this massive temple; verily,
verily, I say to you: In the days soon to come there shall not
be left one stone upon another. They shall all be thrown down."These
remarks depicting the destruction of the sacred temple aroused
the curiosity of the apostles as they walked along behind the
Master; they could conceive of no event short of the end of
the world which would occasion the destruction of the temple.
176:0.2 In order to avoid the crowds passing along the Kidron
valley toward Gethsemane, Jesus and his associates were minded
to climb up the western slope of Olivet for a short distance
and then follow a trail over to their private camp near Gethsemane
located a short distance above the public camping ground. As
they turned to leave the road leading on to Bethany, they observed
the temple, glorified by the rays of the setting sun; and while
they tarried on the mount, they saw the lights of the city appear
and beheld the beauty of the illuminated temple; and there,
under the mellow light of the full moon, Jesus and the twelve
sat down. The Master talked with them, and presently Nathaniel
asked this question:"Tell us, Master, how shall we know
when these events are about to come to pass?"

1. The Destruction
of Jerusalem
176:1.1 In answering Nathaniel's question,
Jesus said:"Yes, I will tell you about the times when this
people shall have filled up the cup of their iniquity; when
justice shall swiftly descend upon this city of our fathers.
I am about to leave you; I go to the Father. After I leave you,
take heed that no man deceive you, for many will come as deliverers
and will lead many astray. When you hear of wars and rumors
of wars, be not troubled, for though all these things will happen,
the end of Jerusalem is not yet at hand. You should not be perturbed
by famines or earthquakes; neither should you be concerned when
you are delivered up to the civil authorities and are persecuted
for the sake of the gospel. You will be thrown out of the synagogue
and put in prison for my sake, and some of you will be killed.
When you are brought up before governors and rulers, it shall
be for a testimony of your faith and to show your steadfastness
in the gospel of the kingdom. And when you stand before judges,
be not anxious beforehand as to what you should say, for the
spirit will teach you in that very hour what you should answer
your adversaries. In these days of travail, even your own kinsfolk,
under the leadership of those who have rejected the Son of Man,
will deliver you up to prison and death. For a time you may
be hated by all men for my sake, but even in these persecutions
I will not forsake you; my spirit will not desert you. Be patient!
doubt not that this gospel of the kingdom will triumph over
all enemies and, eventually, be proclaimed to all nations."
176:1.2 Jesus paused while he looked down upon the city. The
Master realized that the rejection of the spiritual concept
of the Messiah, the determination to cling persistently and
blindly to the material mission of the expected deliverer, would
presently bring the Jews in direct conflict with the powerful
Roman armies, and that such a contest could only result in the
final and complete overthrow of the Jewish nation. When his
people rejected his spiritual bestowal and refused to receive
the light of heaven as it so mercifully shone upon them, they
thereby sealed their doom as an independent people with a special
spiritual mission on earth. Even the Jewish leaders subsequently
recognized that it was this secular idea of the Messiah which
directly led to the turbulence which eventually brought about
their destruction.
176:1.3 Since Jerusalem was to become the cradle of the early
gospel movement, Jesus did not want its teachers and preachers
to perish in the terrible overthrow of the Jewish people in
connection with the destruction of Jerusalem; wherefore did
he give these instructions to his followers. Jesus was much
concerned lest some of his disciples become involved in these
soon-coming revolts and so perish in the downfall of Jerusalem.
176:1.4 Then Andrew inquired: "But, Master, if the Holy
City and the temple are to be destroyed, and if you are not
here to direct us, when should we forsake Jerusalem?"Said
Jesus:"You may remain in the city after I have gone, even
through these times of travail and bitter persecution, but when
you finally see Jerusalem being encompassed by the Roman armies
after the revolt of the false prophets, then will you know that
her desolation is at hand; then must you flee to the mountains.
Let none who are in the city and around about tarry to save
aught, neither let those who are outside dare to enter therein.
There will be great tribulation, for these will be the days
of gentile vengeance. And after you have deserted the city,
this disobedient people will fall by the edge of the sword and
will be led captive into all nations; and so shall Jerusalem
be trodden down by the gentiles. In the meantime, I warn you,
be not deceived. If any man comes to you, saying, `Behold, here
is the Deliverer,' or `Behold, there is he,' believe it not,
for many false teachers will arise and many will be led astray;
but you should not be deceived, for I have told you all this
beforehand."
176:1.5 The apostles sat in silence in the moonlight for a considerable
time while these astounding predictions of the Master sank into
their bewildered minds. And it was in conformity with this very
warning that practically the entire group of believers and disciples
fled from Jerusalem upon the first appearance of the Roman troops,
finding a safe shelter in Pella to the north.
176:1.6 Even after this explicit warning, many of Jesus' followers
interpreted these predictions as referring to the changes which
would obviously occur in Jerusalem when the reappearing of the
Messiah would result in the establishment of the New Jerusalem
and in the enlargement of the city to become the world's capital.
In their minds these Jews were determined to connect the destruction
of the temple with the"end of the world."They believed
this New Jerusalem would fill all Palestine; that the end of
the world would be followed by the immediate appearance of the"new
heavens and the new earth."And so it was not strange that
Peter should say:"Master, we know that all things will
pass away when the new heavens and the new earth appear, but
how shall we know when you will return to bring all this about?"
176:1.7 When Jesus heard this, he was thoughtful for some time
and then said:"You ever err since you always try to attach
the new teaching to the old; you are determined to misunderstand
all my teaching; you insist on interpreting the gospel in accordance
with your established beliefs. Nevertheless, I will try to enlighten
you."

2. The Master¡¯s Second
Coming
176:2.1 On several occasions Jesus had
made statements which led his hearers to infer that, while he
intended presently to leave this world, he would most certainly
return to consummate the work of the heavenly kingdom. As the
conviction grew on his followers that he was going to leave
them, and after he had departed from this world, it was only
natural for all believers to lay fast hold upon these promises
to return. The doctrine of the second coming of Christ thus
became early incorporated into the teachings of the Christians,
and almost every subsequent generation of disciples has devoutly
believed this truth and has confidently looked forward to his
sometime coming.
176:2.2 If they were to part with their Master and Teacher,
how much more did these first disciples and the apostles grasp
at this promise to return, and they lost no time in associating
the predicted destruction of Jerusalem with this promised second
coming. And they continued thus to interpret his words notwithstanding
that, throughout this evening of instruction on Mount Olivet,
the Master took particular pains to prevent just such a mistake.
176:2.3 In further answer to Peter's question, Jesus said:"Why
do you still look for the Son of Man to sit upon the throne
of David and expect that the material dreams of the Jews will
be fulfilled? Have I not told you all these years that my kingdom
is not of this world? The things which you now look down upon
are coming to an end, but this will be a new beginning out of
which the gospel of the kingdom will go to all the world and
this salvation will spread to all peoples. And when the kingdom
shall have come to its full fruition, be assured that the Father
in heaven will not fail to visit you with an enlarged revelation
of truth and an enhanced demonstration of righteousness, even
as he has already bestowed upon this world him who became the
prince of darkness, and then Adam, who was followed by Melchizedek,
and in these days, the Son of Man. And so will my Father continue
to manifest his mercy and show forth his love, even to this
dark and evil world. So also will I, after my Father has invested
me with all power and authority, continue to follow your fortunes
and to guide in the affairs of the kingdom by the presence of
my spirit, who shall shortly be poured out upon all flesh. Even
though I shall thus be present with you in spirit, I also promise
that I will sometime return to this world, where I have lived
this life in the flesh and achieved the experience of simultaneously
revealing God to man and leading man to God. Very soon must
I leave you and take up the work the Father has intrusted to
my hands, but be of good courage, for I will sometime return.
In the meantime, my Spirit of the Truth of a universe shall
comfort and guide you.
176:2.4 "You behold me now in weakness and in the flesh,
but when I return, it shall be with power and in the spirit.
The eye of flesh beholds the Son of Man in the flesh, but only
the eye of the spirit will behold the Son of Man glorified by
the Father and appearing on earth in his own name.
176:2.5 "But the times of the reappearing of the Son of
Man are known only in the councils of Paradise; not even the
angels of heaven know when this will occur. However, you should
understand that, when this gospel of the kingdom shall have
been proclaimed to all the world for the salvation of all peoples,
and when the fullness of the age has come to pass, the Father
will send you another dispensational bestowal, or else the Son
of Man will return to adjudge the age.
176:2.6 "And now concerning the travail of Jerusalem, about
which I have spoken to you, even this generation will not pass
away until my words are fulfilled; but concerning the times
of the coming again of the Son of Man, no one in heaven or on
earth may presume to speak. But you should be wise regarding
the ripening of an age; you should be alert! to discern the
signs of the times. You know when the fig tree shows its tender
branches and puts forth its leaves that summer is near. Likewise,
when the world has passed through the long winter of material-mindedness
and you discern the coming of the spiritual springtime of a
new dispensation, should you know that the summertime of a new
visitation draws near.
176:2.7 "But what is the significance of this teaching
having to do with the coming of the Sons of God? Do you not
perceive that, when each of you is called to lay down his life
struggle and pass through the portal of death, you stand in
the immediate presence of judgment, and that you are face to
face with the facts of a new dispensation of service in the
eternal plan of the infinite Father? What the whole world must
face as a literal fact at the end of an age, you, as individuals,
must each most certainly face as a personal experience when
you reach the end of your natural life and thereby pass on to
be confronted with the conditions and demands inherent in the
next revelation of the eternal progression of the Father's kingdom."
176:2.8 Of all the discourses which the Master gave his apostles,
none ever became so confused in their minds as this one, given
this Tuesday evening on the Mount of Olives, regarding the twofold
subject of the destruction of Jerusalem and his own second coming.
There was, therefore, little agreement between the subsequent
written accounts based on the memories of what the Master said
on this extraordinary occasion. Consequently, when the records
were left blank concerning much that was said that Tuesday evening,
there grew up many traditions; and very early in the second
century a Jewish apocalyptic about the Messiah written by one
Selta, who was attached to the court of the Emperor Caligula,
was bodily copied into the Matthew Gospel and subsequently added
(in part) to the Mark and Luke records. It was in these writings
of Selta that the parable of the ten virgins appeared. No part
of the gospel record ever suffered such confusing misconstruction
as this evening's teaching. But the Apostle John never became
thus confused.
176:2.9 As these thirteen men resumed their journey toward the
camp, they were speechless and under great emotional tension.
Judas had finally confirm!ed his decision to abandon his associates.
It was a late hour when David Zebedee, John Mark, and a number
of the leading disciples welcomed Jesus and the twelve to the
new camp, but the apostles did not want to sleep; they wanted
to know more about the destruction of Jerusalem, the Master's
departure, and the end of the world.

3. Later Discussion at
the Camp
176:3.1 As they gathered about the campfire,
some twenty of them, Thomas asked:"Since you are to return
to finish the work of the kingdom, what should be our attitude
while you are away on the Father's business?"As Jesus looked
them over by the firelight, he answered:
176:3.2 "And even you, Thomas, fail to comprehend what
I have been saying. Have I not all this time taught you that
your connection with the kingdom is spiritual and individual,
wholly a matter of personal experience in the spirit by the
faith-realization that you are a son of God? What more shall
I say? The downfall of nations, the crash of empires, the destruction
of the unbelieving Jews, the end of an age, even the end of
the world, what have these things to do with one who believes
this gospel, and who has hid his life in the surety of the eternal
kingdom? You who are God-knowing and gospel-believing have already
received the assurances of eternal life. Since your lives have
been lived in the spirit and for the Father, nothing can be
of serious concern to you. Kingdom builders, the accredited
citizens of the heavenly worlds, are not to be disturbed by
temporal upheavals or perturbed by terrestrial cataclysms. What
does it matter to you who believe this gospel of the kingdom
if nations overturn, the age ends, or all things visible crash,
since you know that your life is the gift of the Son, and that
it is eternally secure in the Father? Having lived the temporal
life by faith and having yielded the fruits of the spirit as
the righteousness of loving service for your fellows, you can
confidently look forward to the next step in the eternal career
with the same survival faith that has carried you through your
first and earthly adventure in sonship with God.
176:3.3 "Each generation of believers should carry on their
work, in view of the possible return of the Son of Man, exactly
as each individual believer carries forward his lifework in
view of inevitable and ever-impending natural death. When you
have by faith once established yourself as a son of God, nothing
else matters as regards the surety of survival. But make no
mistake! this survival faith is a living faith, and it increasingly
manifests the fruits of that divine spirit which first inspired
it in the human heart. That you have once accepted sonship in
the heavenly kingdom will not save you in the face of the knowing
and persistent rejection of those truths which have to do with
the progressive spiritual fruit-bearing of the sons of God in
the flesh. You who have been with me in the Father's business
on earth can even now desert the kingdom if you find that you
love not the way of the Father's service for mankind.
176:3.4 "As individuals, and as a generation of believers,
hear me while I speak a parable: There was a certain great man
who, before starting out on a long journey to another country,
called all his trusted servants before him and delivered into
their hands all his goods. To one he gave five talents, to another
two, and to another one. And so on down through the entire group
of honored stewards, to each he intrusted his goods according
to their several abilities; and then he set out on his journey.
When their lord had departed, his servants set themselves at
work to gain profits from the wealth intrusted to them. Immediately
he who had received five talents began to trade with them and
very soon had made a profit of another five talents. In like
manner he who had received two talents soon had gained two more.
And so did all of these servants make gains for their master
except he who received but one talent. He went away by himself
and dug a hole in the earth where he hid his lord's money. Presently
the lord of those servants unexpectedly returned and called
upon his stewards for a reckoning. And when they had all been
called before their master, he who had received the five talents
came forward with the money which had been intrusted to him
and brought five additional talents, saying, `Lord, you gave
me five talents to invest, and I am glad to present five other
talents as my gain.' And then his lord said to him: `Well done,
good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few
things; I will now set you as steward over many; enter forthwith
into the joy of your lord.' And then he who had received the
two talents came forward, saying: `Lord, you delivered into
my hands two talents; behold, I have gained these other two
talents.' And his lord then said to him: `Well done, good and
faithful steward; you also have been faithful over a few things,
and I will now set you over many; enter you into the joy of
your lord.' And then there came to the accounting he who had
received the one talent. This servant came forward, saying,
`Lord, I knew you and realized that you were a shrewd man in
that you expected gains where you had not personally labored;
therefore was I afraid to risk aught of that which was intrusted
to me. I safely hid your talent in the earth; here it is; you
now have what belongs to you.' But his lord answered: `You are
an indolent and slothful steward. By your own words you confess
that you knew I would require of you an accounting with reasonable
profit, such as your diligent fellow servants have this day
rendered. Knowing this, you ought, therefore, to have at least
put my money into the hands of the bankers that on my return
I might have received my own with interest.' And then to the
chief steward this lord said: `Take away this one talent from
this unprofitable servant and give it to him who has the ten
talents.'
176:3.5 "To every one who has, more shall be given, and
he shall have abundance; but from him who has not, even that
which he has shall be taken away. You cannot stand still in
the affairs of the eternal kingdom. My Father requires all his
children to grow in grace and in a knowledge of the truth. You
who know these truths must yield the increase of the fruits
of the spirit and manifest a growing devotion to the unselfish
service of your fellow servants. And remember that, inasmuch
as you minister to one of the least of my brethren, you have
done this service to me.
176:3.6 "And so should you go about the work of the Father's
business, now and henceforth, even forevermore. Carry on until
I come. In faithfulness do that which is intrusted to you, and
thereby shall you be ready for the reckoning call of death.
And having thus lived for the glory of the Father and the satisfaction
of the Son, you shall enter with joy and exceedingly great pleasure
into the eternal service of the everlasting kingdom."
176:3.7 Truth is living; the Spirit of Truth is ever leading
the children of light into new realms of spiritual reality and
divine service. You are not given truth to crystallize into
settled, safe, and honored forms. Your revelation of truth must
be so enhanced by passing through your personal experience that
new beauty and actual spiritual gains will be disclosed to all
who behold your spiritual fruits and in consequence thereof
are led to glorify the Father who is in heaven. Only those faithful
servants who thus grow in the knowledge of the truth, and who
thereby develop the capacity for divine appreciation of spiritual
realities, can ever hope to"enter fully into the joy of
their Lord."What a sorry sight for successive generations
of the professed followers of Jesus to say, regarding their
stewardship of divine truth:"Here, Master, is the truth
you committed to us a hundred or a thousand years ago. We have
lost nothing; we have faithfully preserved all you gave us;
we have allowed no changes to be made in that which you taught
us; here is the truth you gave us."But such a plea concerning
spiritual indolence will not justify the barren steward of truth
in the presence of the Master. In accordance with the truth
committed to your hands will the Master of truth require a reckoning.
176:3.8 In the next world you will be asked to give an account
of the endowments and stewardships of this world. Whether inherent
talents are few or many, a just and merciful reckoning must
be faced. If endowments are used only in selfish pursuits and
no thought is bestowed upon the higher duty of obtaining increased
yield of the fruits of the spirit, as they are manifested in
the ever-expanding service of men and the worship of God, such
selfish stewards must accept the consequences of their deliberate
choosing.
176:3.9 And how much like all selfish mortals was this unfaithful
servant with the one talent in that he blamed his slothfulness
directly upon his lord. How prone is man, when he is confronted
with the failures of his own making, to put the blame upon others,
oftentimes upon those who least deserve it!
176:3.10 Said Jesus that night as they went to their rest:"Freely
have you received; therefore freely should you give of the truth
of heaven, and in the giving will this truth multiply and show
forth the increasing light of saving grace, even as you minister
it."

4. The Return of Michael
176:4.1 Of all the Master's teachings no
one phase has been so misunderstood as his promise sometime
to come back in person to this world. It is not strange that
Michael should be interested in sometime returning to the planet
whereon he experienced his seventh and last bestowal, as a mortal
of the realm. It is only natural to believe that Jesus of Nazareth,
now sovereign ruler of a vast universe, would be interested
in coming back, not only once but even many times, to the world
whereon he lived such a unique life and finally won for himself
the Father's unlimited bestowal of universe power and authority.
Urantia will eternally be one of the seven nativity spheres
of Michael in the winning of universe sovereignty.
176:4.2 Jesus did, on numerous occasions and to many individuals,
declare his intention of returning to this world. As his followers
awakened to the fact that their Master was not going to function
as a temporal deliverer, and as they listened to his predictions
of the overthrow of Jerusalem and the downfall of the Jewish
nation, they most naturally began to associate his promised
return with these catastrophic events. But when the Roman armies
leveled the walls of Jerusalem, destroyed the temple, and dispersed
the Judean Jews, and still the Master did not reveal himself
in power and glory, his followers began the formulation of that
belief which eventually associated the second coming of Christ
with the end of the age, even with the end of the world.
176:4.3 Jesus promised to do two things after he had ascended
to the Father, and after all power in heaven and on earth had
been placed in his hands. He promised, first, to send into the
world, and in his stead, another teacher, the Spirit of Truth;
and this he did on the day of Pentecost. Second, he most certainly
promised his followers that he would sometime personally return
to this world. But he did not say how, where, or when he would
revisit this planet of his bestowal experience in the flesh.
On one occasion he intimated that, whereas the eye of flesh
had beheld him when he lived here in the flesh, on his return
(at least on one of his possible visits) he would be discerned
only by the eye of spiritual faith.
176:4.4 Many of us are inclined to believe that Jesus will return
to Urantia many times during the ages to come. We do not have
his specific promise to make these plural visits, but it seems
most probable that he who carries among his universe titles
that of Planetary Prince of Urantia will many times visit the
world whose conquest conferred such a unique title upon him.
176:4.5 We most positively believe that Michael will again come
in person to Urantia, but we have not the slightest idea as
to when or in what manner he may choose to come. Will his second
advent on earth be timed to occur in connection with the terminal
judgment of this present age, either with or without the associated
appearance of a Magisterial Son? Will he come in connection
with the termination of some subsequent Urantian age? Will he
come unannounced and as an isolated event? We do not know. Only
one thing we are certain of, that is, when he does return, all
the world will likely know about it, for he must come as the
supreme ruler of a universe and not as the obscure babe of Bethlehem.
But if every eye is to behold him, and if only spiritual eyes
are to discern his presence, then must his advent be long deferred.
176:4.6 You would do well, therefore, to disassociate the Master's
personal return to earth from any and all set events or settled
epochs. We are sure of only one thing: He has promised to come
back. We have no idea as to when he will fulfill this promise
or in what connection. As far as we know, he may appear on earth
any day, and he may not come until age after age has passed
and been duly adjudicated by his associated Sons of the Paradise
corps.
176:4.7 The second advent of Michael on earth is an event of
tremendous sentimental value to both midwayers and humans; but
otherwise it is of no immediate moment to midwayers and of no
more practical import!ance to human beings than the common event
of natural death, which so suddenly precipitates mortal man
into the immediate grasp of that succession of universe events
which leads directly to the presence of this same Jesus, the
sovereign ruler of our universe. The children of light are all
destined to see him, and it is of no serious concern whether
we go to him or whether he should chance first to come to us.
Be you therefore ever ready to welcome him on earth as he stands
ready to welcome you in heaven. We confidently look for his
glorious appearing, even for repeated comings, but we are wholly
ignorant as to how, when, or in what connection he is destined
to appear.
