Subject: Machiventa 's Announcement
NEW ZEALAND, 1988
It is interesting to note that this small prayer group in New Zealand had no prior knowledge of the Urantia Book whatsoever at the time of this announcement and proceeding subsequent transmissions from both Machiventa and Abraham. It was only later that the Urantia Book was introduced to these wonderful people, to their utter amazement and further enlightenment. I was in contact with the group via telephone and mail, through my former wife and assistant, Jeannine, who was eager to move there and participate. Although we were most warmly welcomed to New Zealand by the first TeaM group, I hesitated. Then it was revealed to me that the Teaching Mission would next come to us in America, which it eventually did.
The Corporation Sole, THE INSTITUTE FOR SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT, was formed in the summer of 1982, from an inspiration from above with the personally revealed theme of "The Ending Time." I didn't like the way it sounded and feared that any discussion of that would make me appear to be a "hellfire and doomsday" prophet. It wasn't until the arrival of the news of Melchizedek/Abraham's announcement that it all began to fit together for my understanding, as in 1976, I was under the realization that a major divine intervention was needed. I then informed the Urantia Foundation anonymously of the impending arrival of a new dispensation, to prevent the default of the Fifth Epochal Revelation. The rest is both history and destiny. -Anthony Porzio
STATEMENT OF INTENT
I, Machiventa, a Melchizedek, Vice Regent Planetary Prince of Urantia make this statement:
God intends for me to make ready the peoples inhabiting the Planet Urantia for the arrival of Prince Michael, Son of God.
This work as Vice Regent consists of gathering those persons who do hear, who do see, who do understand GOD. Thid gathering of persons shall eventually spread light, truth, love throughout humankind.
I used the term "Correcting Time. this terminology has been coined to give humankind some indication of the intent. To correct something is to alter course. The alteration of course may take some considerable time/space in your terms. There is no way a time frame can be allocated for this. it is dependent entirely on individual humankind acceptance and understanding.
I shall be working with the cooperation of certain chosen persons. This communication is being delivered through one such. There are others, and there may be others also dependent, again, on humankind acceptance and understanding, never forgetting the freewill of humankind.
Abaraham is "used" by myself as a "scouting party" and in turn, I am "used" thus. We make ready.
"The covenant of Melchizedek with Abraham represents the great Urantian agreement between and humanity whereby God agrees to do everything; man only agrees to believe God's promises and follow his instructions." The Urantia Book, P.1020.
