Prince of Peace

• bestowal Son

52:6.1The be­stowal Son is the Prince of Peace. He ar­rives with the mes­sage, “Peace on earth and good will among men.” On nor­mal worlds this is a dis­pen­sa­tion of world-wide peace; the na­tions no more learn war. But such salu­tary in­flu­ences did not at­tend the com­ing of your be­stowal Son, Christ Mi­chael. Uran­tia is not pro­ceed­ing in the nor­mal or­der. Your world is out of step in the plan­e­tary pro­ces­sion. Your Mas­ter, when on earth, warned his dis­ci­ples that his ad­vent would not bring the usual reign of peace on Uran­tia. He dis­tinctly told them that there would be “wars and ru­mors of wars,” and that na­tion would rise against na­tion. At an­other time he said, “Think not that I have come to bring peace upon earth.”

68:3.5The peace ten­dency of the hu­man race is not a nat­u­ral en­dow­ment; it is de­rived from the teach­ings of re­vealed re­li­gion, from the ac­cu­mu­lated ex­pe­ri­ence of the pro­gres­sive races, but more es­pe­cially from the teach­ings of Je­sus, the Prince of Peace.

93:10.7We well un­der­stand how, by his tri­umph on Uran­tia, Mi­chael be­came the suc­ces­sor of both Cali­gas­tia and Adam; how he be­came the plan­e­tary Prince of Peace and the sec­ond Adam. And now we be­hold the con­fer­ring upon this Mel­chiz­e­dek of the ti­tle Vicegerent Plan­e­tary Prince of Uran­tia. Will he also be con­sti­tuted Vicegerent Ma­te­rial Son of Uran­tia? Or is there a pos­si­bil­ity that an un­ex­pected and un­prece­dented event is to take place, the some­time re­turn to the planet of Adam and Eve or cer­tain of their progeny as rep­re­sen­ta­tives of Mi­chael with the ti­tles vicegerents of the sec­ond Adam of Uran­tia?

• Jews believed Messiah would reign over them as

97:10.1Their lead­ers had taught the Is­raelites that they were a cho­sen peo­ple, not for spe­cial in­dul­gence and monopoly of di­vine fa­vor, but for the spe­cial ser­vice of car­ry­ing the truth of the one God over all to ev­ery na­tion. And they had prom­ised the Jews that, if they would ful­fill this des­tiny, they would be­come the spir­i­tual lead­ers of all peo­ples, and that the com­ing Mes­siah would reign over them and all the world as the Prince of Peace.

136:9.7The idea of bat­tle, con­tention, and slaugh­ter was re­pug­nant to Je­sus; he would have none of it. He would ap­pear on earth as the Prince of Peace to re­veal a God of love. Be­fore his bap­tism he had again re­fused the of­fer of the Zealots to lead them in re­bel­lion against the Ro­man op­pres­sors. And now he made his fi­nal de­ci­sion re­gard­ing those Scrip­tures which his mother had taught him, such as: “The Lord has said to me, ‘You are my Son; this day have I be­got­ten you. Ask of me, and I will give you the hea­then for your in­her­i­tance and the ut­ter­most parts of the earth for your pos­ses­sion. You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a pot­ter’s ves­sel.’”

137:8.7“The Fa­ther in heaven sends his spirit to in­dwell the minds of men, and when I shall have fin­ished my work on earth, like­wise shall the Spirit of Truth be poured out upon all flesh. And the spirit of my Fa­ther and the Spirit of Truth shall es­tab­lish you in the com­ing king­dom of spir­i­tual un­der­stand­ing and di­vine righ­teous­ness. My king­dom is not of this world. The Son of Man will not lead forth armies in bat­tle for the es­tab­lish­ment of a throne of power or a king­dom of worldly glory. When my king­dom shall have come, you shall know the Son of Man as the Prince of Peace, the rev­e­la­tion of the ev­er­last­ing Fa­ther. The chil­dren of this world fight for the es­tab­lish­ment and en­large­ment of the king­doms of this world, but my dis­ci­ples shall en­ter the king­dom of heaven by their moral de­ci­sions and by their spirit vic­to­ries; and when they once en­ter therein, they shall find joy, righ­teous­ness, and eter­nal life.
