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 End Times Events. It is possible that 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. The constant ridicule by Christians may be even harder to withstand than outright persecution. Recall the attitude of Judas Iscariot when Jesus chose to enter Jerusalem upon the back of an ass: 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. I have made no secret of the fact that
The Urantia Book is my Bible. Therefore, "Lee Jai Cook must be one of the false prophets. She could even be the AntiChrist!" Elijah was a Jew. However, his statements regarding the life and teachings of Jesus as presented in
The Urantia Book will not agree with the Sacred Scriptures of the Jews. The Jews will therefore reject his teachings, and they certainly will not accept him as their expected Messiah. We can expect to hear the following condemnations of
The Urantia Book, among others: "It is obvious that The Urantia Book was inspired by Satan or the Devil!" "This book is sheer heresy!"
"Urantia Book readers are headed for hell!" "The Urantia Book must be one of the false religions described in the Bible."

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.
It is probable that
Urantia Book readers will be forced to endure the Seven Years' Tribulation as described in the Bible.
"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
. . ." [UB 172:5:13]
We are told in
The Urantia Book that some parts of John's revelation were lost. Some of the portions that remain are distorted. [UB 139:4:14]
The Christians are expecting the return of Jesus,
not Elijah. His teachings will contradict many of the core teachings of the Christian religion. We can surmise that Elijah will be totally rejected by Christians.
If Elijah arrives before the Day of Armageddon as stated in Malachi 4:5 he may also be accused of being the Beast, the Antichrist, and the False Prophet as described in the Book of Revelation.
