Urantia Book Readers' Personal Armageddon

     The Urantia Book is silent regarding specific global events that will begin in the near future. The Book of Revelation and other books in the Bible purport to describe some of these forthcoming events. In order to keep this announcement as short as possible, I will not get into a discussion of the forthcoming events as described in the Bible. [I will refer to these events as End Times Events.] We can expect some events to get underway fairly soon. I don't know just when they will begin. Nor do I know exactly what events to expect.

     One or more Urantia Book students will participate in these End Times Events. This means that The Urantia Book and its readers will quickly come under close scrutiny.

     This hostile examination by the press will surely cause anxiety among some Urantia Book students. In fact, we can expect that when the End Times Events get underway numerous Urantia Book readers will be unable to stand the heat. The constant cruel, sarcastic, and vicious attacks by both Christian religious leaders and their followers may drive some Urantia Book readers to the point of an almost-mental breakdown. Each Urantia Book reader will be required to devise a strategy that will enable him/her to survive one more day. Many of your friends may suddenly "not know you."

     Is it possible that Urantia Book readers may be forced to endure at least "seven years' tribulation?" This period of seven years of tribulation is mentioned numerous times in both the Old and New Testaments.
     If the trials and tribulations become too much to bear, you will always be welcome to enter the third Garden of Eden which will be created for all persons who wish to enter.

     The constant ridicule by Christians may be even harder to withstand than outright persecution. Recall the attitude of the Apostles, and especially Judas Iscariot, when Jesus chose to enter Jerusalem upon the back of an ass:
     "Judas was tremendously influenced by the ridicule of his Sadducean friends. No other single factor exerted such a powerful influence on him, in his final determination to forsake Jesus and his fellow Apostles . . ."  "Judas had never shrunk from persecution, but he could not stand this sort of ridicule . . ."  [172:5:13]

     The forthcoming End Times Events will not square with the interpretation of the Book of Revelation as agreed upon by numerous Christian religious leaders. Therefore, they will say these events must be the work of Satan or the Devil working behind the scenes.

     We are told in The Urantia Book that some parts of John's revelation were lost. [Also, some of the portions that remain are distorted.]  [139:4:14]
     Is it possible that some of the forthcoming Events were described in the parts that were lost, either accidentally or intentionally?

     I have made no secret of the fact that The Urantia Book is my "bible." [Woe unto me!]   "Lee Jai Cook must be one of the false prophets."   "She could even be the AntiChrist!"
     We can expect to hear the following criticisms of the UB, among others:
     "It is obvious that The Urantia Book was inspired by Satan or the Devil!"   "Urantia Book readers are headed for hell!"   "The Urantia Book must be one of the false religions we are warned about."

     If you wish additional information about these events, please feel free to contact me.
