Session

Opening

Greetings to each of you. I am Mantoube Melchizedek, grateful that this vessel, who is overflowing, will give me a time to share my perspectives with you regarding this fear-laden prophecy, albeit it is not my lesson in this Teaching Mission but yours.

Lesson

How does one take the blind out of faith? How does one employ the gift of logical mind to spiritual faith to produce cosmic mind within your ranks? Indeed, this is your lesson here. You have only to ask yourselves questions in order to find the Divine Spark that brings you the answers. This is the ultimate gift of the Teaching Mission experience for you, that you are able to discern and perceive and grow in the experiences, for you are indeed to be fishers of men, beacons of sustenance for hungry souls.

Should your world be shaken to pieces, you can discern that earthquakes and tsunamis would be seen, as always, as Acts of God. On a planet where millions seek to align with God's will, then apocalypse would appear as God's will and hardly desirable. On a planet where millions believe that prayer works and Jesus saves, the bleak apocalypse of spewing radiation and oil that destroys the planet would proclaim a darker truth.

Fear of God would be reinforced; love of God would digress. Millions upon your planet who have worked to raise families and supported good causes would see their efforts crumble apart as certainly as their buildings, their faith in the future misguided. Then wouldn't this become a land ruled by the vicious and the heavily-armed, given that virtually every country is afflicted with militaries, police and armed citizens? If such a global cracking apart be a 'natural occurence' then this would be also. Can such events be seen as an opportunity to rebuild for a chosen few?

While we welcome apocalyptic views to this discourse, we also encourage you to employ the lessons you learned to date, not only from your teachers but from the Urantia papers and the continued wisdom and yearning shown by your indwelling Spirit from this sojourn so far. Come to your own conclusions then, even as this vessel is moving to incorporate these continuing perspectives that will inform your historic volume, which will also serve as an education tool, a teaching tool. From Mr. Grimsley to Mr. Besser and your fractured fiefdoms of service, you must seek the mental balance that will bring your efforts to a unified fruition. You are intended to learn here more of the intricacies of mindal interaction with Spirit.

You are a fear-based planet for good reason, for genocides are commonplace even today, and most countries are essentially armed camps which are feeding enormous warmongering profit machines. This will change.

When you 'expect the worse,' then that, too, is to be expected, and may color your efforts at clarity. But the power of faith for you is informed at every soulful juncture. You have been fed many luscious fruits of spirit and they resonate in your hearts. But it is our wish that they reside in your minds as well. The collective wisdom of the Melchizedeks have a much better outcome for the citizens here, and the faith of that proclamation lies in our faith in God, our faith in Michael and Jesus, and our faith in you. The story that must be told is one of Redemption and Salvation, what mankind has always prayed for.

Do you think that God would deprive this of his children? Do you think Power Directors and a vast hierarchy of celestial administrators would utterly fail from lack of will, direction or ability? Is there a relationship between faith and logic? Cannot God save the fate of the planet in a split second? Would God devote the time for the World of the Cross? Has your use of God-given fossil fuels been evil in any sense? Will humankind not be allowed to fulfill its growth to Light and Life because you must be relegated to the stone age? Is all of your evolutionary progress to be wiped out? Can the world respond favorably and productively to what you may see as a 'wake-up call?' Is the collective weight of ignorant and corrupt mankind too overwhelming to overcome?

There are well enough questions to crowd your minds. Ask them of yourselves, your Higher Selves, and grow. Enjoy your laboratory and thank God for it. This issue will help you understand the nature of God more fully. Your Spirit of Truth can verify your Indwelling Spirit and fortify your clear vision for the future, interlaced with God's Will to build and not destroy.

The world has assuredly been on the brink of nuclear holocaust before and its fate was not known by those who prepared for it, including our Midwayer mates. Neither can any of us in the Melchizedek corps tell you the certainty of God's will and its application today. But I assure you that our faith is boundless for we have seen it work many times over history and we are not encumbered with the infancy of your mortal quest.

Closing

And I assure you that, as babies of the universe, there is a true element of adoration that we have for you when we see you sparkle with the inner spirit. We can then constantly be re-assured that you are well worth the personal implantation that God as Spirit has made within each of you. Godspeed, in faith and reason. I know that if the Melchizedeks thus love you, then God loves you so much more. And so .... where will this lead?

Be in Spirit this day, I am Mantoube.
