The Resurrection

189:3.1A lit­tle af­ter half past four o’clock this Sun­day morn­ing, Ga­briel sum­moned the arch­an­gels to his side and made ready to in­au­gu­rate the gen­eral res­ur­rec­tion of the ter­mi­na­tion of the Adamic dis­pen­sa­tion on Uran­tia. When the vast host of the ser­a­phim and the cheru­bim con­cerned in this great event had been mar­shaled in proper for­ma­tion, the mor­ontia Mi­chael ap­peared be­fore Ga­briel, say­ing: “As my Fa­ther has life in him­self, so has he given it to the Son to have life in him­self. Al­though I have not yet fully re­sumed the ex­er­cise of uni­verse ju­ris­dic­tion, this self-im­posed lim­i­ta­tion does not in any man­ner re­strict the be­stowal of life upon my sleep­ing sons; let the roll call of the plan­e­tary res­ur­rec­tion be­gin.”

189:3.2The cir­cuit of the arch­an­gels then op­er­ated for the first time from Uran­tia. Ga­briel and the arch­an­gel hosts moved to the place of the spir­i­tual po­lar­ity of the planet; and when Ga­briel gave the sig­nal, there flashed to the first of the sys­tem man­sion worlds the voice of Ga­briel, say­ing: “By the man­date of Mi­chael, let the dead of a Uran­tia dis­pen­sa­tion rise!” Then all the sur­vivors of the hu­man races of Uran­tia who had fallen asleep since the days of Adam, and who had not al­ready gone on to judg­ment, ap­peared in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of man­so­nia in readi­ness for mor­ontia in­vesti­ture. And in an in­stant of time the ser­a­phim and their as­so­ciates made ready to de­part for the man­sion worlds. Or­di­nar­ily these se­raphic guard­i­ans, one­time as­signed to the group cus­tody of these sur­viv­ing mor­tals, would have been pres­ent at the mo­ment of their awak­ing in the res­ur­rec­tion halls of man­so­nia, but they were on this world it­self at this time be­cause of the ne­ces­sity of Ga­briel’s pres­ence here in con­nec­tion with the mor­ontia res­ur­rec­tion of Je­sus.

189:3.3Not­with­stand­ing that count­less in­di­vid­u­als hav­ing per­sonal se­raphic guard­i­ans and those achiev­ing the req­ui­site at­tain­ment of spir­i­tual per­son­al­ity prog­ress had gone on to man­so­nia dur­ing the ages sub­se­quent to the times of Adam and Eve, and though there had been many spe­cial and mil­len­nial res­ur­rec­tions of Uran­tia sons, this was the third of the plan­e­tary roll calls, or com­plete dis­pen­sa­tional res­ur­rec­tions. The first oc­curred at the time of the ar­rival of the Plan­e­tary Prince, the sec­ond dur­ing the time of Adam, and this, the third, sig­nal­ized the mor­ontia res­ur­rec­tion, the mor­tal tran­sit, of Je­sus of Naz­a­reth.

189:3.4When the sig­nal of the plan­e­tary res­ur­rec­tion had been re­ceived by the chief of arch­an­gels, the Per­son­al­ized Ad­juster of the Son of Man re­lin­quished his au­thor­ity over the ce­les­tial hosts as­sem­bled on Uran­tia, turn­ing all these sons of the lo­cal uni­verse back to the ju­ris­dic­tion of their re­spec­tive com­man­ders. And when he had done this, he de­parted for Sal­ving­ton to reg­is­ter with Im­manuel the com­ple­tion of the mor­tal tran­sit of Mi­chael. And he was im­me­di­ately fol­lowed by all the ce­les­tial host not re­quired for duty on Uran­tia. But Ga­briel re­mained on Uran­tia with the mor­ontia Je­sus.

189:3.5And this is the recital of the events of the res­ur­rec­tion of Je­sus as viewed by those who saw them as they re­ally oc­curred, free from the lim­i­ta­tions of par­tial and re­stricted hu­man vi­sion.
