An interesting declaration and proposition. So...."most important moment..ever...."? And not only is this moment the most important of all moments, but also we are to hurry things up..."right now"?
We are told that such impatience is a spirit poison and, usually, a very mortal-tadpole feeling. When the celestials experience such impatience - the monumental importance of now and here - that very bad things occur.
54:4.4 (616.3) Most of the liberties which Lucifer sought he already had; others he was to receive in the future. All these precious endowments were lost by giving way to impatience and yielding to a desire to possess what one craves now and to possess it in defiance of all obligation to respect the rights and liberties of all other beings composing the universe of universes. Ethical obligations are innate, divine, and universal.
74:8.14 (838.6) The “golden age” is a myth, but Eden was a fact, and the Garden civilization was actually overthrown. Adam and Eve carried on in the Garden for one hundred and seventeen years when, through the impatience of Eve and the errors of judgment of Adam, they presumed to turn aside from the ordained way, speedily bringing disaster upon themselves and ruinous retardation upon the developmental progression of all Urantia.
130:5.3 (1436.4) One day when Ganid asked Jesus why he had not devoted himself to the work of a public teacher, he said: “My son, everything must await the coming of its time. You are born into the world, but no amount of anxiety and no manifestation of impatience will help you to grow up. You must, in all such matters, wait upon time. Time alone will ripen the green fruit upon the tree. Season follows season and sundown follows sunrise only with the passing of time. I am now on the way to Rome with you and your father, and that is sufficient for today. My tomorrow is wholly in the hands of my Father in heaven.” And then he told Ganid the story of Moses and the forty years of watchful waiting and continued preparation.
As everyone's view is subjective and as the UB does not support such a claim, one might consider how immature such impatience truly is. Has free will be removed? Are the mortal epochs of planetary time done? Are the angels soon to blow the trumpets of the rapture? The only, and I mean the only, reason for such a claim is that this moment is most important to YOU and to those with such a compressed time unit perspective, that you simply cannot 'see' this moment in relation to the distant past and distant future. This brief life offers no context to celestial time and evolutionary time where patience and persistence eventuates potentials into actualizations. A little context and perspective might help such impatience. A more mature perspective might include the faith, trust, and loyalty in the Most Highs and Michael who are in full control of our world and its progression toward L&L. To wit:
118:1.3 (1295.3) There is a direct relationship between maturity and the unit of time consciousness in any given intellect. The time unit may be a day, a year, or a longer period, but inevitably it is the criterion by which the conscious self evaluates the circumstances of life, and by which the conceiving intellect measures and evaluates the facts of temporal existence.
118:1.4 (1295.4) Experience, wisdom, and judgment are the concomitants of the lengthening of the time unit in mortal experience. As the human mind reckons backward into the past, it is evaluating past experience for the purpose of bringing it to bear on a present situation. As mind reaches out into the future, it is attempting to evaluate the future significance of possible action. And having thus reckoned with both experience and wisdom, the human will exercises judgment-decision in the present, and the plan of action thus born of the past and the future becomes existent.
118:1.5 (1295.5) In the maturity of the developing self, the past and future are brought together to illuminate the true meaning of the present. As the self matures, it reaches further and further back into the past for experience, while its wisdom forecasts seek to penetrate deeper and deeper into the unknown future. And as the conceiving self extends this reach ever further into both past and future, so does judgment become less and less dependent on the momentary present. In this way does decision-action begin to escape from the fetters of the moving present, while it begins to take on the aspects of past-future significance.
118:1.6 (1295.6) Patience is exercised by those mortals whose time units are short; true maturity transcends patience by a forbearance born of real understanding.
118:1.7 (1295.7) To become mature is to live more intensely in the present, at the same time escaping from the limitations of the present. The plans of maturity, founded on past experience, are coming into being in the present in such manner as to enhance the values of the future.
118:1.8 (1295. The time unit of immaturity concentrates meaning-value into the present moment in such a way as to divorce the present of its true relationship to the not-present — the past-future. The time unit of maturity is proportioned so to reveal the co-ordinate relationship of past-present-future that the self begins to gain insight into the wholeness of events, begins to view the landscape of time from the panoramic perspective of broadened horizons, begins perhaps to suspect the nonbeginning, nonending eternal continuum, the fragments of which are called time.
Again, I hear the same voices claiming to know the future and the need to do something as if no one IS doing something or not enough or not quickly enough....or some other dreary disappointment and demands and warnings and deadlines and multiple forms of anxieties to 'share' with others. Such a time unit perspective as demonstrated would destroy the credibility of such predictions and warnings. The Spirits are at work delivering souls for the kingdom and the Most Highs are most capable in their handling of planetary affairs. And this is certainly NOT the most important moment in all of history.
Something in the Revelation to share? Don't need any more predictions or warnings...thanks anyway. May tranquility and confidence in personal and planetary destinies replace such impatience. This is not a race. There is not a deadline at hand. And worlds are not transformed by signs, wonders, miracles, or the impatience which demands them. I fear such a proposition itself is deceptive to all, including the youth, and is a form of sedition called false liberty which is a far greater danger to us all.
