A Teaching Mission TIME LINE
Beginning 1978 Through Portions of 2004
Editorial Comments By the Editor
The real time line for what has become known as the Teaching Mission commenced out of mortal sight on the spiritual spheres of Nebadon some 2,000 years ago after Michael completed his bestowal on earth as Jesus of Nazareth. It is reported that he had already conceived the idea for some time, and upon assuming his sovereignty of the local universe, his decision to provide Urantia access to the teachings and wisdom of trained celestial teachers was to be put into action when conditions were right. In this plan, the celestial teacher activity was to be preceded first by the teacher?s text of unusual factual depth about God and clarity about how the universe was organized to be known as The URANTIA Book. It was decided that when the celestial teachers appear they would use the Urantia Book to teach its concepts while reconditioning the human approach to spirit and the purposes of mortal life. The book and the teaching mission were to be later followed by a divine Unifier in a Magisterial Mission lasting perhaps a millennium. All of these steps in the revelation have come to?be in the present.
It is likely that the mortals of Urantia were tested down through the centuries to judge readiness for the 5th epochal revelation that embraces all three steps to rejuvenate and reclaim Urantia. However, not until the 20th century was there sufficient reception by humans to prepare for these revelatory programs. The text book could be produced without allowing for the adjudication of the Lucifer Rebellion by the Ancients of Days, but it was considered too dangerous to attempt to open celestial lines of communication to students while the nefarious Caligastia could interfere with and distort their messages. The spiritual Supreme Court located on Uversa took action in 1985 and removed the threat of rebellion-led policies forever from Urantia thereby allowing celestially trained teachers to begin contact on the human level. By 2004, it was becoming obvious that a Magisterial Mission was soon to begin now that The URANTIA Book and Teaching Mission had established themselves at the human level of comprehension.
The reader is directed to view in the Links Section of this site the Urantia Book time line of historical events surrounding its beginnings.?We begin the teaching mission time line over 70 years later as when the first scout was sent to Urantia to prepare for the teaching mission activities.
1978- ABRAHAM The SCOUT. Abraham arrives on Urantia by special permission of the Ancients of Days this date being prior to the dispensation ending the Lucifer Rebellion.

Pratt, August, 1989 University of Waikato, in the evaluation of the phenomenon in a letter states: “Since early 1984 Mrs. Miller has been functioning as a “medium” facilitating “communication” between the group of three men and, initially, a “spiritual teacher” called Bertha, then one referred to as the “Master Abraham”. More latterly the oracular persona has been “Melchizedek”.”]
1985, Fall – ADJUDICATION ANNOUNCED. Lucifer Rebellion adjudicated. Date may vary slightly due to time conversion from Uversa. [See Bertrand transcript 7/22/92 quote: “I can tell you it was in the fall of 1985, generally. Because of universe time differences, it is difficult to establish a specific date.”]

At times, we?d like you to know that Michael rides with us! This sounds funny, but he is a wonderful person to work with. We enjoy our association with him and we look forward to enjoying closer association with all of you. Please, open your hearts to receive our presence with you so that we may work more closely together. The more hands we can join together around this planet and in this universe, the grander the scale of the revision in the Correcting Time.

2004, April 15 – POLICY on URANTIA BOOK CHANGES – Machiventa Melchizedek responded to a question about such changes and made these comments: There was issued, quite a serious mandate to the contact commission to make every human effort to keep the structure, integrity, and content of the Urantia papers pure. Having this mandate in place, the human individuals involved in the contact commission did their best to compile, to edit, to include the papers in the Urantia book with the very best of intentions and to the best of their abilities, and they fulfilled their mandate to fulfill their requirements. These requirements were not issued to an institution, but rather to a set of individuals present, and therefore does the discussion arise about the purpose of changing the text. Each generation will have to take up this discussion on down through the ages. Do we keep unchanged word for word the scriptures? Do we include language that is common and normal at the time to make the message more palatable? Do we remove sections which have become politically incorrect? These are ongoing issues that are good cause for discussion and debate. The motivation that you have to be about the bettering of what you have to work with is the premiere issue at hand and one can argue over the details of how a motivated individual goes about doing better, but the spirit reality of your action is one of an attempt to be helpful, be fruitful, be beneficial to the process. This motivation is well noted in the spiritual realm, but nevertheless you have to answer to your brothers and sisters in the material realm who may take issue with you rearranging or editing any part of the text without giving complete credit to having done so. You are free to editorialize and to comment to your hearts desire as long as your additions and comments are clearly outlined as such and not indicated as part of the text. Otherwise we look to motivation, we look to intent . . . . [See file on tmarchives.com: Machiventa 041504 Teleconference-Policy On Urantia Book Modification]
2004, April 18 – MORONTIA BLENDING – For several months the teaching mission has been receiving information about the experimentation of blending certain morontia mind realities with the existing Urantia mind particularly with those in teaching groups. On this date, a Melchizedek teacher [Sondjah Melchizedek] assigned to teach morontia beings on the mansion worlds addressed the Northern Colorado group about this possibility and in what ways changes might be felt when the experiment is undertaken. For greater detail about ,these changes and what they mean, read the referenced files noted here.
