Teaching Mission History

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.

"And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed  God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called  the Friend of God. NT Bible, James, 2:23
