The Lucifer Rebellion - Part 3, The History and Present Status of the Rebellion

This week we go back to our study of The Lucifer Rebellion. This is the third week we will have spent on this subject and there are bound to be several more installments.

Like so many of the subjects covered by the amazing Urantia Book, this subject is one that has been handed down as a planetary legend and it shows up in ancient teachings around the world, as well as in the Bible. However, The Urantia Book makes crystal clear what it was, who it impacted, why it happened, its ramifications for evolving beings like us, its nature and gravity, and its ultimate resolution. The Urantia Papers covering Lucifer's rebellion really do answer the age old question as to why our world has been so confused, barbaric and violent. Whether or not you have The Urantia Book and have read these papers, we think you'll get a lot out of this in depth study. 

So far, we've read these amazing sections from Paper 53 The Lucifer Rebellion, 1.The Leaders of Rebellion, 2.The Causes of Rebellion, 3.The Lucifer Manifesto, 4.Outbreak of the Rebellion, 5.Nature of the Conflict, and 6.A Loyal Seraphic Commander. This week we hope to tackle 7.History of the Rebellion,:8.The Son of Man on Urantia, and 9.Present Status of the Rebellion. Next we'll be off to Paper 54. Problems of the Lucifer Rebellion.

 For instance, we'll be reading this: "Of the planetary angelic helpers, those assigned to the Material Sons, about one third were deceived, and almost ten per cent of the transition ministers were ensnared. In symbol John saw this when he wrote of the great red dragon, saying: "And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them down in darkness."

And this: "But even so, no fallen spirit ever did have the power to invade the minds or to harass the souls of the children of God."

We hope you join us in this astonishing and insightful study and we invite you to call in as well.
