The Third Epochal Revelation to Urantia (Part 2)

The new religion that Melchizedek taught at Salem required a simple declaration of faith and a promise to obey the seven commandments, which were patterned after those of the previous epochal revelations.  His mission was twofold: to keep alive on earth the truth of the one God and to prepare the way for the subsequent bestowal of Christ Michael.  Melchizedek found in Abraham the leader he sought; and their covenant was the core of the new gospel of faith, whereby God agrees to do everything, while man only agrees to believe God's promises and follow his instructions.
