THE LUCIFER REBELLION
POGLAVLJE 53 : LUCIFEROVA POBUNA
1955 53:0.1 LUCIFER was a brilliant primary Lanonandek Son of Nebadon. He had experienced service in many systems, had been a high counselor of his group, and was distinguished for wisdom, sagacity, and efficiency. Lucifer was number 37 of his order, and when commissioned by the Melchizedeks, he was designated as one of the one hundred most able and brilliant personalities in more than seven hundred thousand of his kind. From such a magnificent beginning, through evil and error, he embraced sin and now is numbered as one of three System Sovereigns in Nebadon who have succumbed to the urge of self and surrendered to the sophistry of spurious personal liberty—rejection of universe allegiance and disregard of fraternal obligations, blindness to cosmic relationships.
2014 53:0.1 LUCIFER je bio briljantan primarni Sin Lanonandek iz Nebadona. Služio je u više sustava, bio savjetnik svoje grupe i dokazao se kao mudar, pronicav i učinkovit. Lucifer je nosio broj 37 svoga reda i kad su ga Melkizedeci postavili na dužnost, smatran je jednim od stotinu najsposobnijih i najbriljantnijih ličnosti od preko sedam stotina tisuća pripadnika svoje vrste. Od tako veličanstvenog početka, kroz zlo i pogrešku, obgrlio je grijeh i postao jednim od tri Sustavna Vladara u Nebadonu koji su podlijegli obmani svoga "ja" i predali se sofisterijama osobne slobode - koji su odbacili vjernost svemiru i odrekli se svojih bratskih obveza, zatvorili oči pred kozmičkim odnosima.
1955 53:0.2 In the universe of Nebadon, the domain of Christ Michael, there are ten thousand systems of inhabited worlds. In all the history of Lanonandek Sons, in all their work throughout these thousands of systems and at the universe headquarters, only three System Sovereigns have ever been found in contempt of the government of the Creator Son.
2014 53:0.2 U Nebadonu, domeni Krista Mihaela, postoji deset tisuća sustava naseljenih planeta. U cijeloj povijesti Sinova Lanonandeka, tijekom cijelog njihovog djelovanja u više tisuća sustava i kozmičkih sjedišta, jedino su tri Sustavna Vladara na sebe navukla prezir vlade Sina Stvoritelja.
1. THE LEADERS OF REBELLION
1. VOĐE POBUNE
1955 53:1.1 Lucifer was not an ascendant being; he was a created Son of the local universe, and of him it was said: “You were perfect in all your ways from the day you were created till unrighteousness was found in you.” Many times had he been in counsel with the Most Highs of Edentia. And Lucifer reigned “upon the holy mountain of God,” the administrative mount of Jerusem, for he was the chief executive of a great system of 607 inhabited worlds.
2014 53:1.1 Lucifer nije bio uzlazno biće; on je bio stvoreni Sin lokalnog svemira o kojem je rečeno: "Savršen biješe na putima svojim od dana svojega stvaranja dok ti se u srcu ne zače opačina[1]." Više puta se savjetovao sa Svevišnjim Edentije. Lucifer je vladao "na svetoj gori Božjoj," administrativnom brdu na Jeruzemu, jer je bio na poziciji glavnog izvršitelja prostranog sustava 607 naseljenih svjetova
[2].
1955 53:1.2 Lucifer was a magnificent being, a brilliant personality; he stood next to the Most High Fathers of the constellations in the direct line of universe authority. Notwithstanding Lucifer’s transgression, subordinate intelligences refrained from showing him disrespect and disdain prior to Michael’s bestowal on Urantia. Even the archangel of Michael, at the time of Moses’ resurrection, “did not bring against him an accusing judgment but simply said, ‘the Judge rebuke you.’” Judgment in such matters belongs to the Ancients of Days, the rulers of the superuniverse.
2014 53:1.2 Lucifer je bio veličanstveno biće, briljantna ličnost; stajao je neposredno iza Svevišnjih Očeva zviježđa u izravnoj liniji kozmičke vlasti. Bez obzira na Luciferov prijestup, podređene inteligencije mu nikad nisu iskazale nepoštovanje i prezir sve do Mihaelovog darivanja na Urantiji. Čak ni Mihaelov arhanđel u vrijeme Mojsijevog uskrsnuća nije "protiv njega podnio optužbu, već je jednostavno rekao, 'neka te Sudac osudi[3].'" Presuda u takvim slučajevima pripada Starim Danima, vladarima supersvemira.
1955 53:1.3 Lucifer is now the fallen and deposed Sovereign of Satania. Self-contemplation is most disastrous, even to the exalted personalities of the celestial world. Of Lucifer it was said: “Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom because of your brightness.” Your olden prophet saw his sad estate when he wrote: “How are you fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How are you cast down, you who dared to confuse the worlds!”
2014 53:1.3 Lucifer je danas pali i svrgnuti Suvereni Vladar Satanije. Samodopadljivost je jako opasna, čak i u uzvišenih ličnosti nebeskog svijeta. O Luciferu je rečeno: "Srce ti se izoholi zbog ljepote tvoje; mudrost svoju odnemari zbog svojih darova[4]." Vaš je drevni prorok spoznao njegovu tužnu poziciju kad je rekao: "Kako pade s nebesa, Luciferu, sine Zorin! Kako li si oboren, ti koji se usudi donijeti metež na svjetove!"
[5]
1955 53:1.4 Very little was heard of Lucifer on Urantia owing to the fact that he assigned his first lieutenant, Satan, to advocate his cause on your planet. Satan was a member of the same primary group of Lanonandeks but had never functioned as a System Sovereign; he entered fully into the Lucifer insurrection. The “devil” is none other than Caligastia, the deposed Planetary Prince of Urantia and a Son of the secondary order of Lanonandeks. At the time Michael was on Urantia in the flesh, Lucifer, Satan, and Caligastia were leagued together to effect the miscarriage of his bestowal mission. But they signally failed.
2014 53:1.4 Na Urantija niste toliko upoznati s Luciferom zbog toga što je ovaj postavio svog prvog poručnika, Satana, da zastupa njegov slučaj na vašem planetu. Satan je bio član iste primarne skupine Lanonandeka, ali nikada nije djelovao kao Sustavni Vladar; on se u cjelosti poveo za Luciferovom pobunom[6]. "Đavo" nije nitko drugi nego Kaligastija, svrgnuti Planetarni Knez Urantije i Sin sekundarnog reda Lanonandeka
[7][8]. U vrijeme kad je Mihael bio utjelovljen na Urantiji, Lucifer, Satan i Kaligastija su se se zajednički urotili kako bi uništili njegovu misiju darivanja. Ali njihovo nastojanje je u cjelosti propalo.
1955 53:1.6 The dragon eventually became the symbolic representation of all these evil personages. Upon the triumph of Michael, “Gabriel came down from Salvington and bound the dragon (all the rebel leaders) for an age.” Of the Jerusem seraphic rebels it is written: “And the angels who kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, he has reserved in sure chains of darkness to the judgment of the great day.”
2014 53:1.6 Zmaj je s vremenom postao simbolom svih tih zlih osoba. Prilikom Mihaelove pobjede, "Gabrijel siđe sa Salvingtona i uhvati zmaja (sve vođe pobune) dok se ne navrši jedno doba[11]." O pobunjenim serafinima Jeruzema stoji zapisano: "I anđele koji nisu sačuvali svojeg dostojanstva nego su ostavili svoje boravište, on ih je stavio u čvrste okove tame do suda velikoga dana
[12]."
2. THE CAUSES OF REBELLION
2. UZROCI POBUNE
1955 53:2.1 Lucifer and his first assistant, Satan, had reigned on Jerusem for more than five hundred thousand years when in their hearts they began to array themselves against the Universal Father and his then vicegerent Son, Michael.
2014 53:2.1 Sa Satanom, svojim prvim pomoćnikom, Lucifer je vladao na Jeruzemu više od pet stotina tisuća godina kad su se njih dvojica u svojim srcima počeli okretati protiv Oca Svih i Mihaela, njegova Sina-namjesnika.
1955 53:2.2 There were no peculiar or special conditions in the system of Satania which suggested or favored rebellion. It is our belief that the idea took origin and form in Lucifer’s mind, and that he might have instigated such a rebellion no matter where he might have been stationed. Lucifer first announced his plans to Satan, but it required several months to corrupt the mind of his able and brilliant associate. However, when once converted to the rebel theories, he became a bold and earnest advocate of “self-assertion and liberty.”
2014 53:2.2 U sustavu Satanije nisu postojali nikakvi naročiti ili osebujni razlozi koji su bili uzrok ili poticaj pobuni.Vjerujemo da se ova ideja začela i oblikovala u Luciferovom umu i da bi je on sproveo u djelo gdje god bio na dužnosti. Lucifer je prvo najavio svoje planove Satanu, ali mu je trebalo par mjeseci da pokvari um svog sposobnog i briljantnog suradnika. Međutim, nakon što je prihvatio pobunjeničke teorije, ovaj je postao odvažnim i iskrenim zagovornikom "pozivanja na vlastita prava i slobode[13]."
1955 53:2.3 No one ever suggested rebellion to Lucifer. The idea of self-assertion in opposition to the will of Michael and to the plans of the Universal Father, as they are represented in Michael, had its origin in his own mind. His relations with the Creator Son had been intimate and always cordial. At no time prior to the exaltation of his own mind did Lucifer openly express dissatisfaction about the universe administration. Notwithstanding his silence, for more than one hundred years of standard time the Union of Days on Salvington had been reflectivating to Uversa that all was not at peace in Lucifer’s mind. This information was also communicated to the Creator Son and the Constellation Fathers of Norlatiadek.
2014 53:2.3 Nitko nikada nije naveo Lucifera na pobunu. Ideja pozivanja na vlastita prava protivno volji Mihaela i planovima Oca Svih - kako su ovi planovi zastupljeni u Mihaelu - javila se u njegovom umu. Luciferov odnos sa Sinom Stvoriteljem je uvijek bio blizak i srdačan. Prije uzvišenja svog vlastitog uma, Lucifer nikada nije otvoreno izrazio nezadovoljstvo s kozmičkom administracijom. No unatoč njegovoj šutnji, Ujedinjeni Dani su više od stotinu godina standarnog vremena sa Salvingtona odražavali Uversi da u Luciferovom umu nije vladao spokoj. Ovu su informaciju priopćili ne samo Sinu Stvoritelju, već i Očevima Zviježđa na Norlatiadeku.
1955 53:2.4 Throughout this period Lucifer became increasingly critical of the entire plan of universe administration but always professed wholehearted loyalty to the Supreme Rulers. His first outspoken disloyalty was manifested on the occasion of a visit of Gabriel to Jerusem just a few days before the open proclamation of the Lucifer Declaration of Liberty. Gabriel was so profoundly impressed with the certainty of the impending outbreak that he went direct to Edentia to confer with the Constellation Fathers regarding the measures to be employed in case of open rebellion.
2014 53:2.4 Tijekom tog razdoblja, Lucifer je postajao sve kritičniji u pogledu cjelokupnog plana kozmičke administracije, premda je uvijek priznavao svesrdnu odanost Vrhovnim Vladarima. Njegov prvi otvoreni izraz nelojalnosti nije nastupio sve do Gabrijelovog posjeta Jeruzemu, samo nekoliko dana prije otvorenog proglašenja Luciferove Deklaracije Nezavisnosti. Gabrijel je bio po tako dubokim dojmom izvjesnosti predstojeće pobune da je otišao izravno na Edentiju da se posavjetuje s Očevima Zviježđa u pogledu mjera koje mogu poduzeti u slučaju otvorene pobune.
1955 53:2.5 It is very difficult to point out the exact cause or causes which finally culminated in the Lucifer rebellion. We are certain of only one thing, and that is: Whatever these first beginnings were, they had their origin in Lucifer’s mind. There must have been a pride of self that nourished itself to the point of self-deception, so that Lucifer for a time really persuaded himself that his contemplation of rebellion was actually for the good of the system, if not of the universe. By the time his plans had developed to the point of disillusionment, no doubt he had gone too far for his original and mischief-making pride to permit him to stop. At some point in this experience he became insincere, and evil evolved into deliberate and willful sin. That this happened is proved by the subsequent conduct of this brilliant executive. He was long offered opportunity for repentance, but only some of his subordinates ever accepted the proffered mercy. The Faithful of Days of Edentia, on the request of the Constellation Fathers, in person presented the plan of Michael for the saving of these flagrant rebels, but always was the mercy of the Creator Son rejected and rejected with increasing contempt and disdain.
2014 53:2.5 Vrlo je teško navesti točan uzrok ili uzroke koji su konačno kulminirali u Luciferovoj pobuni. Samo u jedno smo sigurni, a to je: Što god je dalo povoda početku pobune, jedino se moglo javiti u Luciferovom umu. Njegov ponos je morao porasti do razine samoobmane, sve dok Lucifer nije doista postao uvjeren da je njegovo razmišljanje o pobuni zapravo bilo za dobro sustava, ako ne i svemira. Prije nego što su njegovi planovi mogli rezultirati raskrikavanjem iluzija, njegov je ponos - koji je bio izvorni uzrok problema - nesumnjivo dosegao suviše velike proporcije kako bi se mogao tu zaustaviti[14]. Nakon što je u određenom času postao neiskren u svom iskustvu, zlo je preraslo u hotimičan i svojevoljan grijeh. Ovakav razvoj događaja potvrđuju kasniji postupci ovog veličanstvenog izvršitelja. Premda je imao priliku za pokajanje, samo su neki od njegovih podređenih prihvatili ponuđenu milost. Na zahtjev Očeva Zviježđa, Vjerni Dani Edentije su Mihaelu osobno predstavili plan za spasenje ovih zloglasnih pobunjenika, ali on je više puta odbacio milost Sina Stvoritelja i to sa sve većim prezirom i omalovažavanjem.
3. THE LUCIFER MANIFESTO
3. LUCIFEROV MANIFESTO
1955 53:3.1 Whatever the early origins of trouble in the hearts of Lucifer and Satan, the final outbreak took form as the Lucifer Declaration of Liberty. The cause of the rebels was stated under three heads:
1955 53:3.2 1. The reality of the Universal Father. Lucifer charged that the Universal Father did not really exist, that physical gravity and space-energy were inherent in the universe, and that the Father was a myth invented by the Paradise Sons to enable them to maintain the rule of the universes in the Father’s name. He denied that personality was a gift of the Universal Father. He even intimated that the finaliters were in collusion with the Paradise Sons to foist fraud upon all creation since they never brought back a very clear-cut idea of the Father’s actual personality as it is discernible on Paradise. He traded on reverence as ignorance. The charge was sweeping, terrible, and blasphemous. It was this veiled attack upon the finaliters that no doubt influenced the ascendant citizens then on Jerusem to stand firm and remain steadfast in resistance to all the rebel’s proposals.
2014 53:3.2 1. Stvarnost Oca Svih. Lucifer je tvrdio da Otac Svih doista ne postoji, da su fizička gravitacija i prostorna energija sastavni dio kozmosa, te da je Otac bio mit koji su izmislili Rajski Sinovi kao izgovor za držanje vlasti u svemirima u Očevo ime. Negirao je da je ličnost bila dar Oca Svih. Dalje je tvrdio da su finalisti bili u tajnom dosluhu s Rajskim Sinovima kako bi krišom zavarali cijelu tvorevinu, kako se nikad nisu vratili s jasnom idejom Očeve stvarne ličnosti kakva se može doživjeti na Raju. To što su drugi smatrali pobožnim štivanjem, on je smatrao ignorancijom. Ova je optužba bila drastična, strašna i bogohulna. A upravo je ovaj maskirani napad na finaliste bio to što je nesumnjivo navelo uzlazne državljane Jeruzema da se čvrsto i ustrajno odupru prijedlozima ovog pobunjenika.
1955 53:3.3 2. The universe government of the Creator Son—Michael. Lucifer contended that the local systems should be autonomous. He protested against the right of Michael, the Creator Son, to assume sovereignty of Nebadon in the name of a hypothetical Paradise Father and require all personalities to acknowledge allegiance to this unseen Father. He asserted that the whole plan of worship was a clever scheme to aggrandize the Paradise Sons. He was willing to acknowledge Michael as his Creator-father but not as his God and rightful ruler.
2014 53:3.3 2. Kozmička vlada Sina Stvoritelja - Mihaela. Lucifer je tvrdio da lokalni sustavi trebaju biti autonomni. Prosvjedovao je protiv prava Mihaela - Sina Stvoritelja - da preuzme suverenitet nad Nebadonom u ime tobožnjeg Rajskog Oca i da zahtijeva da sve ličnosti priznaju odanost neviđenom Ocu. Tvrdio je da je cijeli plan obožavanja bio mudra spletka koja je imala za cilj veličanje Rajskih Sinova. Bio je spreman priznati Mihaela kao svog Stvoritelja-oca, ali ne kao svog Boga i zakonitog vladara.
1955 53:3.4 Most bitterly did he attack the right of the Ancients of Days—“foreign potentates”—to interfere in the affairs of the local systems and universes. These rulers he denounced as tyrants and usurpers. He exhorted his followers to believe that none of these rulers could do aught to interfere with the operation of complete home rule if men and angels only had the courage to assert themselves and boldly claim their rights.
2014 53:3.4 Najogorčenije je napao pravo Starih Dana - "inozemnih velmoža" - da se upliću u poslove lokalnih sustava i svemira. Ove je vladare osudio kao tiranine i uzurpatore. Pozvao je svoje sljedbenike da vjeruju da se niti jedan od tih vladara ne bi mogao uplitati u nesmetano djelovanje pune domaće vlasti, ako se ljudi i anđeli odvažno pozovu na svoja prava i hrabro ih odbrane.
1955 53:3.5 He contended that the executioners of the Ancients of Days could be debarred from functioning in the local systems if the native beings would only assert their independence. He maintained that immortality was inherent in the system personalities, that resurrection was natural and automatic, and that all beings would live eternally except for the arbitrary and unjust acts of the executioners of the Ancients of Days.
2014 53:3.5 Tvrdio je da bića koja vuku prijeklo s individualnih planeta mogu spriječiti djelovanje izvršitelja Starih Dana u lokalnim sustavima, ako se ova bića pozovu na svoju nezavisnost. Držao je da je besmrtnost bila svojstvena svim ličnostima sustava, da je produženje života bilo prirodno i automatsko i da bi sva bića imala vječni život da nije proizvoljnih i nepravednih postupaka izvršitelja Starih Dana.
1955 53:3.6 3. The attack upon the universal plan of ascendant mortal training. Lucifer maintained that far too much time and energy were expended upon the scheme of so thoroughly training ascending mortals in the principles of universe administration, principles which he alleged were unethical and unsound. He protested against the agelong program for preparing the mortals of space for some unknown destiny and pointed to the presence of the finaliter corps on Jerusem as proof that these mortals had spent ages of preparation for some destiny of pure fiction. With derision he pointed out that the finaliters had encountered a destiny no more glorious than to be returned to humble spheres similar to those of their origin. He intimated that they had been debauched by overmuch discipline and prolonged training, and that they were in reality traitors to their mortal fellows since they were now co-operating with the scheme of enslaving all creation to the fictions of a mythical eternal destiny for ascending mortals. He advocated that ascenders should enjoy the liberty of individual self-determination. He challenged and condemned the entire plan of mortal ascension as sponsored by the Paradise Sons of God and supported by the Infinite Spirit.
2014 53:3.6 3. Napad na univerzalni plan uzlazne smrtne obuke. Lucifer je tvrdio da se previše vremena i energije ulaže na temeljitu obuku uzlaznih smrtnika u načelima kozmičke administracije, načelima koja su navodno bila nemoralna i neosnovana. Prosvjedovao je protiv vjekovnog programa pripreme smrtnika prostora za neku nepoznatu sudbinu i ukazao na prisutnost korpusa finalista na Jeruzemu kao dokaz da su ti smrtnici proveli duga stoljeća u pripremi za neku izmišljenu sudbinu. Sa podsmijehom je istaknuo da je finaliste čekala sudbina koja nije bila ništa bolja od povratka na nerazvijene planete slične njihovim rodnim svjetovima. Ukazao je na to da su finalisti bili iskvareni prekomjernom disciplinom i dugotrajnom obukom i da su bili izdajnici svojih bližnjih samim svojim sudjelovanjem u programu koji je cijeloj tvorevini nametao ropske okove fiktivnog mita o vječnoj sudbini uzlaznih smrtnika. Tvrdio je kako su uzlazna bića trebala uživati slobodu individualnog samoopredjeljenja. Kritički je doveo u pitanje cijeli plan smrtnog uspona pod pokroviteljstvom Rajskih Sinova Boga i uz podršku Beskonačnog Duha.
1955 53:3.7 And it was with such a Declaration of Liberty that Lucifer launched his orgy of darkness and death.
2014 53:3.7 I upravo je s takvom Deklaracijom Nezavisnosti Lucifer započeo svoju orgiju tame i smrti.
4. OUTBREAK OF THE REBELLION
4. POČETAK POBUNE
1955 53:4.1 The Lucifer manifesto was issued at the annual conclave of Satania on the sea of glass, in the presence of the assembled hosts of Jerusem, on the last day of the year, about two hundred thousand years ago, Urantia time. Satan proclaimed that worship could be accorded the universal forces—physical, intellectual, and spiritual—but that allegiance could be acknowledged only to the actual and present ruler, Lucifer, the “friend of men and angels” and the “God of liberty.”
2014 53:4.1 Luciferov manifesto je objavljen na godišnjem zboru Satanije na staklenom moru, u prisutnosti okupljenog mnoštva na Jeruzemu posljednjeg dana u godini, prije otprilike dvije stotine tisuća godina Urantija vremena. Satan je proglasio da bića mogu iskazati obožavanje kozmičkim silama - fizičkim, intelektualnim i duhovnim - ali da odanost mogu pokloniti samo stvarnom i prisutnom vladaru, Luciferu, "prijatelju ljudi i anđela" i "Bogu slobode."
1955 53:4.2 Self-assertion was the battle cry of the Lucifer rebellion. One of his chief arguments was that, if self-government was good and right for the Melchizedeks and other groups, it was equally good for all orders of intelligence. He was bold and persistent in the advocacy of the “equality of mind” and “the brotherhood of intelligence.” He maintained that all government should be limited to the local planets and their voluntary confederation into the local systems. All other supervision he disallowed. He promised the Planetary Princes that they should rule the worlds as supreme executives. He denounced the location of legislative activities on the constellation headquarters and the conduct of judicial affairs on the universe capital. He contended that all these functions of government should be concentrated on the system capitals and proceeded to set up his own legislative assembly and organized his own tribunals under the jurisdiction of Satan. And he directed that the princes on the apostate worlds do the same.
2014 53:4.2 Pozivanje na vlastita prava je bilo bojni poklik Luciferove pobune[16]. Jedan od njegovih glavnih argumenata je bio da, ako je Melkizedecima i drugim skupinama pripadala i odgovarala samouprava, onda su svi drugi redovi inteligencije trebali biti samoupravni. Ustrajno i neustrašivo je zagovarao "ravnopravnost uma" i "bratstvo intelignecije." Tvrdio je da svaki vid uprave treba biti ograničen na lokalne planete i njihovu dobrovoljnu konfederaciju u lokalnim sustavima.Nije dopuštao bilo kakav drugi oblik nadzora. Planetarnim Kneževima je obećao da će preuzeti vlast nad svjetovima kao njihovi vrhovni izvršitelji. Usprotivio se vođenju zakonodavnih poslova na centrima zviježđa i vođenju sudskih poslova na centru svemira. Tvrdio je da sve ove funkcije trebaju biti koncentrirane na upravnim sjedištima sustava, te se prihvatio zadaće da upostavi svoju vlastitu zakonodavnu skupštinu i organizira svoje vlastite sudove u nadležnosti Satana. A isto je naložio i kneževima svih drugih otpadničkih svjetova.
1955 53:4.3 The entire administrative cabinet of Lucifer went over in a body and were sworn in publicly as the officers of the administration of the new head of “the liberated worlds and systems.”
2014 53:4.3 Kompletno osoblje Luciferovog administrativnog kabineta je prešlo na njegovu stranu, te su javno prisegnuti kao službenici ovog novog poglavara "oslobođenih svjetova i sustava."
1955 53:4.4 While there had been two previous rebellions in Nebadon, they were in distant constellations. Lucifer held that these insurrections were unsuccessful because the majority of the intelligences failed to follow their leaders. He contended that “majorities rule,” that “mind is infallible.” The freedom allowed him by the universe rulers apparently sustained many of his nefarious contentions. He defied all his superiors; yet they apparently took no note of his doings. He was given a free hand to prosecute his seductive plan without let or hindrance.
2014 53:4.4 Dok su se u Nebadonu već dogodile dvije pobune, one su se odigrale u udaljenim zviježđima. Lucifer je držao da su ove pobune doživjele neuspjeh zbog toga što većina inteligencija nije odabrala slijediti svoje vladare. Zagovarao je "većinsku vlast" i "nepogrešivost uma." Činilo se da je sloboda koju su mu dali kozmički vladari išla na ruku njegovim zlim tvrdnjama. On je prkosio svim svojim nadređenima; oni se naočigled nisu obazirali na njegova djela. Imao je odriješene ruke da nesmetano sprovede planiranu obmanu.
1955 53:4.5 All the merciful delays of justice Lucifer pointed to as evidence of the inability of the government of the Paradise Sons to stop the rebellion. He would openly defy and arrogantly challenge Michael, Immanuel, and the Ancients of Days and then point to the fact that no action ensued as positive evidence of the impotency of the universe and the superuniverse governments.
2014 53:4.5 Lucifer je tumačio sve milostive odgode u sprovedbi pravde kao dokaz nesposobnosti Rajskih Sinova da zaustave pobunu. Otvoreno je prkosio i arogantno provocirao Mihela, Imanuela i Stare Dane ukazujući na njihovu pasivnost kao jasan dokaz nemoći svemirskih i supersvemirskih vlada.
1955 53:4.6 Gabriel was personally present throughout all these disloyal proceedings and only announced that he would, in due time, speak for Michael, and that all beings would be left free and unmolested in their choice; that the “government of the Sons for the Father desired only that loyalty and devotion which was voluntary, wholehearted, and sophistry-proof.”
2014 53:4.6 Gabrijel je bio osobno prisutan tijekom svih ovih izdajničkih postupaka i samo je najavio da će u dogledno vrijeme dati izjavu u ime Mihaela i da će sva bića imati priliku da donesu svoje odluke slobodno i bez pritiska; da je "vlada Sinova u ime Oca tražila samo onu odanost i predanost koje su bile dobrovoljne, iskrene i imune na sofisterije."
1955 53:4.7 Lucifer was permitted fully to establish and thoroughly to organize his rebel government before Gabriel made any effort to contest the right of secession or to counterwork the rebel propaganda. But the Constellation Fathers immediately confined the action of these disloyal personalities to the system of Satania. Nevertheless, this period of delay was a time of great trial and testing to the loyal beings of all Satania. All was chaotic for a few years, and there was great confusion on the mansion worlds.
2014 53:4.7 Luciferu je dopušteno da u cjelosti uspostavi i temeljito organizira svoju pobunjeničku vladu prije nego se Gabrijel na bilo koji način usprotivio pravu na odcjepljenje ili založio za ublaženje učinaka pobunjeničke propagande. Ali Očevi Zviježđa su smjesta ograničili djelovanje tih nelojalnih ličnosti na sustav Satanije. Ipak, ovo je razdoblje odgode bilo vrijeme velike kušnje i samoispitivanja svih odanih bića iz cijele Satanije. Više godina je vladao opći metež, dok je velika zbrka zahvatila prebivališne svjetove.
5. NATURE OF THE CONFLICT
5. NARAV SUKOBA
1955 53:5.1 Upon the outbreak of the Satania rebellion, Michael took counsel of his Paradise brother, Immanuel. Following this momentous conference, Michael announced that he would pursue the same policy which had characterized his dealings with similar upheavals in the past, an attitude of noninterference.
2014 53:5.1 Nakon izbijanja pobune u Sataniji, Mihael se posavjetovao sa svojim rajskim bratom, Imanuelom. Nakon ove značajne sjednice, Mihael je najavio da će slijediti istu metodu koja je korištena u sličnim pobunama u prošlosti - stav nemiješanja.
1955 53:5.2 At the time of this rebellion and the two which preceded it there was no absolute and personal sovereign authority in the universe of Nebadon. Michael ruled by divine right, as vicegerent of the Universal Father, but not yet in his own personal right. He had not completed his bestowal career; he had not yet been vested with “all power in heaven and on earth.”
2014 53:5.2 U vrijeme ove i dvaju prethodnih pobuna, svemir Nebadon nije imao apsolutnog i osobnog vladara. Mihael je vladao po božanskom pravu, kao namjesnik Oca Svih, ali još nije stekao svoje osobno pravo. On u to vrijeme nije završio svoju karijeru darivanja; tada nije bio nositelj "sve vlasti na nebu i zemlji[17]."
1955 53:5.3 From the outbreak of rebellion to the day of his enthronement as sovereign ruler of Nebadon, Michael never interfered with the rebel forces of Lucifer; they were allowed to run a free course for almost two hundred thousand years of Urantia time. Christ Michael now has ample power and authority to deal promptly, even summarily, with such outbreaks of disloyalty, but we doubt that this sovereign authority would lead him to act differently if another such upheaval should occur.
2014 53:5.3 Od početka pobune pa sve do njegova ustoličenja u ulozi suverenog vladara Nebadona, Mihael se nije uplitao u djelovanje Luciferovih pobunjenika; dopustio im je da se slobodno i neometano kreću gotovo dvije stotine tisuća godina Urantija vremena. Krist Mihael danas ima dovoljno moći i ovlasti da djeluje neodložno, čak i po kratkom postupku, naspram takvog izbijanja nelojalnosti, ali sumnjamo da bi u svojoj suverenoj vlasti promijenio svoje stavove u slučaju nove pobune.
1955 53:5.4 Since Michael elected to remain aloof from the actual warfare of the Lucifer rebellion, Gabriel called his personal staff together on Edentia and, in counsel with the Most Highs, elected to assume command of the loyal hosts of Satania. Michael remained on Salvington while Gabriel proceeded to Jerusem, and establishing himself on the sphere dedicated to the Father—the same Universal Father whose personality Lucifer and Satan had questioned—in the presence of the forgathered hosts of loyal personalities, he displayed the banner of Michael, the material emblem of the Trinity government of all creation, the three azure blue concentric circles on a white background.
2014 53:5.4 Kako se Mihael odlučio ne uplitati u ratoborne poteze Luciferovih pobunjenika, Gabrijel je sazvao svoje osoblje na Edentiji, te je zajedno sa Svevišnjima odlučio preuzeti vlast nad odanim bićima Satanije. Mihael je ostao na Salvingtonu dok je Gabrijel otišao na Jeruzem da preuzme vlast na svijetu posvećenom Ocu - istom Ocu Svih čiju su ličnost Lucifer i Satan doveli u pitanje - u prisutnosti okupljenog mnoštva odanih ličnosti, gdje je podigao Mihaelovu zastavu, materijalni emblem sveopće vlasti Trojstva - tri azurno plave koncentrične kružnice na bijeloj podlozi.
1955 53:5.5 The Lucifer emblem was a banner of white with one red circle, in the center of which a black solid circle appeared.
2014 53:5.5 Luciferov emblem je imao jednu crvenu kružnicu na bijeloj podlozi, u čijem je središtu bio crni krug.
1955 53:5.6 “There was war in heaven; Michael’s commander and his angels fought against the dragon (Lucifer, Satan, and the apostate princes); and the dragon and his rebellious angels fought but prevailed not.” This “war in heaven” was not a physical battle as such a conflict might be conceived on Urantia. In the early days of the struggle Lucifer held forth continuously in the planetary amphitheater. Gabriel conducted an unceasing exposure of the rebel sophistries from his headquarters taken up near at hand. The various personalities present on the sphere who were in doubt as to their attitude would journey back and forth between these discussions until they arrived at a final decision.
2014 53:5.6 "Uto se zametnu rat u nebu koji je Mihael vodio kao zapovjednik svojih anđela protiv zmaja (Lucifera, Satana i otpadničkih kneževa); a zmaj i njegovi pobunjeni anđeli prihvatiše borbu, ali je ne mogoše izdržati[18]." Ovaj "rat u nebu" nije bio fizička bitka, kao ratovi koji se vode na Urantiji. U ranim danima borbe, Lucifer je dominirao planetarnom pozornicom. Is svog je obližnjeg stožera Gabrijel ustrajno nastojao raskrinkati pobunjeničke sofisterije. Različite ličnosti na planeti koje su bile u nedoumici između dvaju strana, imale su priliku posjetiti obje sukobljene strane dok nisu bile spremne donijeti svoju konačnu odluku.
1955 53:5.7 But this war in heaven was very terrible and very real. While displaying none of the barbarities so characteristic of physical warfare on the immature worlds, this conflict was far more deadly; material life is in jeopardy in material combat, but the war in heaven was fought in terms of life eternal.
2014 53:5.7 No, ovaj je rat u nebu bio užasan i vrlo stvaran. Dok nije bio obilježen barbarskim grozotama fizičkog ratovanja na nezrelim svjetovima, ovaj je sukob bilo daleko kobniji; u materijalnom ratovanju ljudi riskiraju materijalne živote, ali rat u nebu odlučuje o pitanju vječnog života.
6. A LOYAL SERAPHIC COMMANDER
6. ODANI KOMANDIR SERAFINA
1955 53:6.1 There were many noble and inspiring acts of devotion and loyalty which were performed by numerous personalities during the interim between the outbreak of hostilities and the arrival of the new system ruler and his staff. But the most thrilling of all these daring feats of devotion was the courageous conduct of Manotia, the second in command of the Satania headquarters’ seraphim.
2014 53:6.1 Mnoga plemenita i inspirativna djela obilježavaju vrijeme od izbijanja prvih neprijateljstava do upostave novog upravnog sustava pod novim osobljem. No, najuzbudljiviji od svih smjelih podviga pobožnosti pripadaju hrabrom Manotiji, drugom zapovjedniku serafina sa sjedištem na Sataniji.
1955 53:6.2 At the outbreak of rebellion on Jerusem the head of the seraphic hosts joined the Lucifer cause. This no doubt explains why such a large number of the fourth order, the system administrator seraphim, went astray. The seraphic leader was spiritually blinded by the brilliant personality of Lucifer; his charming ways fascinated the lower orders of celestial beings. They simply could not comprehend that it was possible for such a dazzling personality to go wrong.
2014 53:6.2 Na početku pobune na Jeruzemu, šef serafinskog mnoštva je prešao na stranu Luciferove pobune. Ovo nesumnjivo objašnjava zašto je tako veliki broj serafina četvrtog reda iz redova sustavne administracije skrenuo s puta. Serafinski je vođa bio duhovno zaslijepljen briljantnom ličnošću Lucifera; ovaj je svojim šarmom fascinirao niže redove nebeskih bića. Oni jednostavno nisu mogli shvatiti da je tako blistava ličnost mogla skrenuti s puta.
1955 53:6.3 Not long since, in describing the experiences associated with the onset of the Lucifer rebellion, Manotia said: “But my most exhilarating moment was the thrilling adventure connected with the Lucifer rebellion when, as second seraphic commander, I refused to participate in the projected insult to Michael; and the powerful rebels sought my destruction by means of the liaison forces they had arranged. There was a tremendous upheaval on Jerusem, but not a single loyal seraphim was harmed.
2014 53:6.3 Ne tako davno, opisujući događaje vezane uz početak Luciferove pobune, Monotija je rekao: "Za mene, najuzbudljiviji trenutak senzacionalne avanture koja je nastala prilikom Luciferove pobune bio je kad sam, kao drugi serafinski zapovjednik, odbio sudjelovati u uvredi koju su pobunjenici planirali nanijeti Mihaelu; i moćni pobunjenici su me svim silama zajednički nastojali uništiti. Jeruzem je bio u strašnom metežu, ali niti jedan odani serafin nije nastradao.
1955 53:6.4 “Upon the default of my immediate superior it devolved upon me to assume command of the angelic hosts of Jerusem as the titular director of the confused seraphic affairs of the system. I was morally upheld by the Melchizedeks, ably assisted by a majority of the Material Sons, deserted by a tremendous group of my own order, but magnificently supported by the ascendant mortals on Jerusem.
2014 53:6.4 "Pri padu mojih nadređenih, na mene je prešlo da preuzmem upravu nad anđeoskim mnoštvom kao titularni poglavar nad zbunjenim serafinskim poslovima sustava. Imao sam moralnu podršku Melkizedeka, vrijednu pomoć većine Materijalnih Sinova, dok me je izdala velika skupina bića moga reda i dok su me veličanstveno podržali uzlazni smrtnici Jeruzema.
1955 53:6.5 “Having been automatically thrown out of the constellation circuits by the secession of Lucifer, we were dependent on the loyalty of our intelligence corps, who forwarded calls for help to Edentia from the near-by system of Rantulia; and we found that the kingdom of order, the intellect of loyalty, and the spirit of truth were inherently triumphant over rebellion, self-assertion, and so-called personal liberty; we were able to carry on until the arrival of the new System Sovereign, the worthy successor of Lucifer. And immediately thereafter I was assigned to the corps of the Melchizedek receivership of Urantia, assuming jurisdiction over the loyal seraphic orders on the world of the traitorous Caligastia, who had proclaimed his sphere a member of the newly projected system of ‘liberated worlds and emancipated personalities’ proposed in the infamous Declaration of Liberty issued by Lucifer in his call to the ‘liberty-loving, free-thinking, and forward-looking intelligences of the misruled and maladministered worlds of Satania.’”
2014 53:6.5 "Nakon što je Luciferova pobuna automatski presjekla vezu s krugovima zviježđa, bili smo ovisni o odanosti našeg informacijskog korpusa preko kojeg smo Edentiji slali pozive za pomoć s obližnjeg sustava Rantulije; a otkrili smo da su kraljevstvo reda, intelekt odanosti i duh istine sami po sebi izvojevali pobjedu nad pobunom, prevagnuli nad pozivanjem na vlastita prava i takozvanom osobnom slobodom; bili smo u stanju ne pokleknuti do dolaska novog Sustavnog Vladara, dostojnog nasljednika Lucifera. I odmah nakon toga bio sam pripojen korpusu Melkizedeka-primatelja Urantije, gdje sam preuzeo sudbenu nadležnost nad odanim skupinama serafina na svijetu izdajnika Kaligastije koji je proglasio svoj svijet pripadnikom novostvorenog sustava 'oslobođenih svjetova i emancipiranih ličnosti' u svojoj neslavnoj Deklaraciji Nezavisnosti upućenoj 'ljubiteljima slobode, slobodoumnim i progresivnim inteligencijama svjetova Satanije koja je bila pod lošom i neuspjelom administrativnom upravom."
2014 53:6.6 Ovaj je anđeo još u službi na Urantiji, gdje radi kao suradnik serafinskog šefa.
7. HISTORY OF THE REBELLION
7. POVIJEST POBUNE
1955 53:7.1 The Lucifer rebellion was system wide. Thirty-seven seceding Planetary Princes swung their world administrations largely to the side of the archrebel. Only on Panoptia did the Planetary Prince fail to carry his people with him. On this world, under the guidance of the Melchizedeks, the people rallied to the support of Michael. Ellanora, a young woman of that mortal realm, grasped the leadership of the human races, and not a single soul on that strife-torn world enlisted under the Lucifer banner. And ever since have these loyal Panoptians served on the seventh Jerusem transition world as the caretakers and builders on the Father’s sphere and its surrounding seven detention worlds. The Panoptians not only act as the literal custodians of these worlds, but they also execute the personal orders of Michael for the embellishment of these spheres for some future and unknown use. They do this work as they tarry en route to Edentia.
2014 53:7.1 Luciferova pobuna se proširila na cijeli sustav. Trideset sedam separatističkih Planetarnih Kneževa je uglavnom navelo administracije svojih svjetova da se priklone drevnom pobunjeniku. Samo na Panoptiji, Planetarni Knez nije uspio zavesti svoj narod. Na ovom svijetu, pod upravom Melkizedeka, ljudi su ujedinjeno podržali Mihaela. Na tom svijetu upravu je preuzela djevojka po imenu Elanora, tako da ni jedna smrtna duša ovog zaraćenog svijeta nije prišla Luciferu. I do današnjeg dana, Panopčani služe na sedmom prijelaznom svijetu Jeruzema kao skrbnici i graditelji Očevog svijeta i njegovih obližnjih sedam pritvornih svjetova. Ne samo što Panopčani doslovce služe kao čuvari ovih svjetova, oni također izvršavaju Mihaelove osobne naloge za uljepšavanje ovih svjetova za neku nepoznatu buduću svrhu.A oni izvode ove radove dok se nalaze na putu za Edentiju.
1955 53:7.2 Throughout this period Caligastia was advocating the cause of Lucifer on Urantia. The Melchizedeks ably opposed the apostate Planetary Prince, but the sophistries of unbridled liberty and the delusions of self-assertion had every opportunity for deceiving the primitive peoples of a young and undeveloped world.
2014 53:7.2 Tijekom tog razdoblja, Kaligastija je zagovarao izvršenje Luciferovih planova na Urantiji. Dok su Melkizedeci vješto blokirali rad odmetničkog Planetarnog Kneza, sofisterije neobuzdane slobode i zablude pozivanja na vlastita prava već su imale priliku obmanuti primitivne ljude ovog mladog i nerazvijenog svijeta.
1955 53:7.3 All secession propaganda had to be carried on by personal effort because the broadcast service and all other avenues of interplanetary communication were suspended by the action of the system circuit supervisors. Upon the actual outbreak of the insurrection the entire system of Satania was isolated in both the constellation and the universe circuits. During this time all incoming and outgoing messages were dispatched by seraphic agents and Solitary Messengers. The circuits to the fallen worlds were also cut off, so that Lucifer could not utilize this avenue for the furtherance of his nefarious scheme. And these circuits will not be restored so long as the archrebel lives within the confines of Satania.
2014 53:7.3 Sva propaganda odcjepljenja morala je ići preko osobnih nastojanja, kako su nadglednici sustavnih krugova presjekli ne samo službu emitiranja, već i sve druge metode međuplanetarne komunikacije. Pri izbijanju pobune, cijeli je sustav Satanije odsječen od krugova zviježđa i svemira. U ovom razdoblju, serafinski posrednici i Osamljeni Glasnici su prenosili sve poruke u sustav i iz njega. Krugovi svjetova koji su bili zahvaćeni pobunom također su bili presječeni, kako Lucifer ne bi mogao iskoristiti ove kanale za širenje svojih užasnih planova. A ovi krugovi neće biti ponovo uspostavljeni sve dok drevni pobunjenik živi u granicama Satanije.
1955 53:7.4 This was a Lanonandek rebellion. The higher orders of local universe sonship did not join the Lucifer secession, although a few of the Life Carriers stationed on the rebel planets were somewhat influenced by the rebellion of the disloyal princes. None of the Trinitized Sons went astray. The Melchizedeks, archangels, and the Brilliant Evening Stars were all loyal to Michael and, with Gabriel, valiantly contended for the Father’s will and the Son’s rule.
2014 53:7.4 Bila je to pobuna Lanonadeka. Viši redovi sinova lokalnog svemira nisu prišli Luciferovoj pobuni, premda je nekolicina Nositelja Života na pobunjeničkim planetima u nekoj mjeri pala pod utjecaj pobune izdajničkih kneževa. Ni jedan Potrojstvljeni Sin nije skrenuo s puta. Melkizedeci, arhanđeli i Blistave Večernje Zvijezde su svi ostali vjerni Mihaelu, te su se s Gabrijelom hrabno borili za Očevu volju i Sinovu vlast.
1955 53:7.5 No beings of Paradise origin were involved in disloyalty. Together with the Solitary Messengers they took up headquarters on the world of the Spirit and remained under the leadership of the Faithful of Days of Edentia. None of the conciliators apostatized, nor did a single one of the Celestial Recorders go astray. But a heavy toll was taken of the Morontia Companions and the Mansion World Teachers.
2014 53:7.5 Ni jedno biće porijeklom s Raja nije prišlo pobuni. Zajedno s Osamljenim Glasnicima, postavili su svoje glavno sjedište na svijetu Duha, te su ostali pod vlasti Vjernih Dana iz Edentije. Nije se odmetnuo ni jedan miritelj, niti je i jedan Nebeski Snimatelj skrenuo s puta. No, velike gubitke su pretrpjeli Morontija Pratitelji i Učitelji Prebivališnih Svjetova.
1955 53:7.6 Of the supreme order of seraphim, not an angel was lost, but a considerable group of the next order, the superior, were deceived and ensnared. Likewise a few of the third or supervisor order of angels were misled. But the terrible breakdown came in the fourth group, the administrator angels, those seraphim who are normally assigned to the duties of the system capitals. Manotia saved almost two thirds of them, but slightly over one third followed their chief into the rebel ranks. One third of all the Jerusem cherubim attached to the administrator angels were lost with their disloyal seraphim.
2014 53:7.6 Među visokim redovima serafina nije izgubljen ni jedan anđeo, dok je među narednim - višim redom - veliki broj podlijegao obmani. Obmanut je i manji broj trećeg ili nadgledničkog reda anđela. No, četvrti red - administrativna skupina - je pretrpio velike gubitke, a to su serafini koji obično primaju dužnosti na sjedištima sustava. Monotija je spasio gotovo dvije trećine ovih bića, premda je nešto malo više od jedne trećine pratilo svog poglavara u pobunu. S nevjernim serafinima izgubljena je i trećina ukupnog broja kerubina Jeruzema koji su pripojeni administrativnim anđelima.
1955 53:7.7 Of the planetary angelic helpers, those assigned to the Material Sons, about one third were deceived, and almost ten per cent of the transition ministers were ensnared. In symbol John saw this when he wrote of the great red dragon, saying: “And his tail drew a third part of the stars of heaven and cast them down in darkness.”
2014 53:7.7 Od planetarnih anđeoskih pomoćnika, izgubljena je otprilike jedna trećina anđela pripojenih Materijalnim Sinovima, dok je obmanuto gotovo deset posto prijelaznih služitelja. Simbolično, Ivan bilježi ove događaje opisom velikog crvenog zmaja: "Njegov rep pomete trećinu nebeskih zvijezda i surva ih u tamu[19]."
1955 53:7.8 The greatest loss occurred in the angelic ranks, but most of the lower orders of intelligence were involved in disloyalty. Of the 681,217 Material Sons lost in Satania, ninety-five per cent were casualties of the Lucifer rebellion. Large numbers of midway creatures were lost on those individual planets whose Planetary Princes joined the Lucifer cause.
2014 53:7.8 Najveći gubitak je nastupio u redovima anđela, dok je među srednjim bićima koja su prišla pobuni najveći broj bio iz nižih redova inteligencije. Od 681, 217 Materijalnih Sinova koji su izgubljeni u Sataniji, devedeset pet posto je posljedica Luciferove pobune. Veliki broj srednjih bića je izgubljen na onim individualnim planetima gdje su Planetarni Kneževi prišli na stranu Lucifera.
1955 53:7.9 In many respects this rebellion was the most widespread and disastrous of all such occurrences in Nebadon. More personalities were involved in this insurrection than in both of the others. And it is to their everlasting dishonor that the emissaries of Lucifer and Satan spared not the infant-training schools on the finaliter cultural planet but rather sought to corrupt these developing minds in mercy salvaged from the evolutionary worlds.
2014 53:7.9 Ova je pobuna po mnogo čemu bila najrasprostranjenija i najpogubnija od svih sličnih pojava u Nebadonu. Više ličnosti je sudjelovalo u ovoj pobuni nego u drugim dvjema. I zauvijek je velika sramota što poslanici Lucifera i Satane nisu poštedjeli škole za obuku mladeži smještene na kulturnom planetu finalista nego su nastojali pokvariti umove ove nezrele mladeži koja je tako milostivo izbavljena s evolucijskih svjetova.
1955 53:7.10 The ascending mortals were vulnerable, but they withstood the sophistries of rebellion better than the lower spirits. While many on the lower mansion worlds, those who had not attained final fusion with their Adjusters, fell, it is recorded to the glory of the wisdom of the ascension scheme that not a single member of the Satania ascendant citizenship resident on Jerusem participated in the Lucifer rebellion.
2014 53:7.10 Uzlazni smrtnici su bili ranjivi, ali su odoljeli sofisterijama pobune mnogo bolje od nižih duhova. Dok je na nižim prebivališnim svjetovima podlijegao veliki broj bića koja nisu postigla konačni spoj s Ispravljačima, treba zabilježiti u slavu mudrosti uzlaznog programa da ni jedan satanijski uzlazni državljanin s prebivalištem na Jeruzemu nije sudjelovao u Luciferovoj pobuni.
1955 53:7.11 Hour by hour and day by day the broadcast stations of all Nebadon were thronged by the anxious watchers of every imaginable class of celestial intelligence, who intently perused the bulletins of the Satania rebellion and rejoiced as the reports continuously narrated the unswerving loyalty of the ascending mortals who, under their Melchizedek leadership, successfully withstood the combined and protracted efforts of all the subtle evil forces which so swiftly gathered around the banners of secession and sin.
2014 53:7.11 Iz sata u sat i iz dana u dan, stanice za emitiranje širom Nebadona su bile preplavljene zabrinutim promatračima iz svih mogućih redova nebeske inteligencije, koji su budno pratili dnevna izvješća u vezi satanijske pobune i koji su se jako radovali vijestima o nepokolebljivoj odanosti uzlaznih smrtnika pod vodstvom Melkizedeka i njihovom uspješnom odupiranju kombiniranim i dugotrajnim naporima svih zlih i podmuklih sila koje su se tako brzo okupile pod stijegom pobune i zla.
1955 53:7.12 It was over two years of system time from the beginning of the “war in heaven” until the installation of Lucifer’s successor. But at last the new Sovereign came, landing on the sea of glass with his staff. I was among the reserves mobilized on Edentia by Gabriel, and I well remember the first message of Lanaforge to the Constellation Father of Norlatiadek. It read: “Not a single Jerusem citizen was lost. Every ascendant mortal survived the fiery trial and emerged from the crucial test triumphant and altogether victorious.” And on to Salvington, Uversa, and Paradise went this message of assurance that the survival experience of mortal ascension is the greatest security against rebellion and the surest safeguard against sin. This noble Jerusem band of faithful mortals numbered just 187,432,811.
2014 53:7.12 Prošle su dvije godine po vremenu sustava od "rata u nebu" do postavke Luciferovog nasljednika[20]. No, na kraju je došao novi Suvereni Vladar koji se sa svojim osobljem spustio na stakleno more. Ja sam bio među rezervistima koje je Gabrijel mobilizirao na Edentiji i dobro se sjećam Lanaforgove poruke Ocu Zviježđa na Norlatiadeku. Ona je glasila: "Nije izgubljen ni jedan državljanin Jeruzema
[21]. Svi uzlazni smrtnici su preživjeli surovi i teški ispit kao posvemašnji pobjednici." A ova je poruka upućena na Salvington, Uversu i Raj kao potvrda da iskustvo opstanka smrtnim uzlazom predstavlja najvišu sigurnost protiv pobune i najsigurniju zaštitu od grijeha. Ova je plemenita grupa vjernih smrtnika Jeruzema brojala nekih 187,432, 811 bića.
1955 53:7.13 With the arrival of Lanaforge the archrebels were dethroned and shorn of all governing powers, though they were permitted freely to go about Jerusem, the morontia spheres, and even to the individual inhabited worlds. They continued their deceptive and seductive efforts to confuse and mislead the minds of men and angels. But as concerned their work on the administrative mount of Jerusem, “their place was found no more.”
2014 53:7.13 S postavkom Lanaforga, drevni pobunjenici su svrgnuti i izgubili su sve upraviteljske moći, premda im je dopuštena sloboda kretanja Jeruzemom, moronija svjetovima, pa čak i pojedničanim naseljenim svjetovima. Nastavili su svoja obmanjiva i varljiva nastojanja da stvore pometnju zavodeći umove ljudi i anđela. Ali što se tiče njihovog rada na administrativnoj gori Jeruzema, "mjesta za njih više nije bilo na nebu[22]."
1955 53:7.14 While Lucifer was deprived of all administrative authority in Satania, there then existed no local universe power nor tribunal which could detain or destroy this wicked rebel; at that time Michael was not a sovereign ruler. The Ancients of Days sustained the Constellation Fathers in their seizure of the system government, but they have never handed down any subsequent decisions in the many appeals still pending with regard to the present status and future disposition of Lucifer, Satan, and their associates.
2014 53:7.14 Dok je Luciferu oduzet svaki oblik administrativne uprave u Sataniji, u to vrijeme nije bilo moći ili suda u lokalnom svemiru koji su mogli pritvoriti ili uništiti ovog ništavnog pobunjenika; Mihael tada nije imao suverenu vlast. Stari Dani su pružili podršku Očevima Zviježđa u njihovom preuzimanju uprave nad sustavom, ali još uvijek nisu donijeli ni jednu presudu nad brojnim otvorenim žalbama u vezi sadašnjeg statusa i budućeg uništenja Lucifera, Satana i njihovih suradnika.
1955 53:7.15 Thus were these archrebels allowed to roam the entire system to seek further penetration for their doctrines of discontent and self-assertion. But in almost two hundred thousand Urantia years they have been unable to deceive another world. No Satania worlds have been lost since the fall of the thirty-seven, not even those younger worlds peopled since that day of rebellion.
2014 53:7.15 Drevni pobunjenici su tako imali slobodu kretanja cijelim sustavom, gdje su nastojali proširiti svoje doktrine nezadovoljstva i pozivanja na vlastita prava. No, za gotovo dvije stotine tisuća godina Urantija vremena, oni nisu bili u stanju zavarati ni jedan drugi svijet. Nakon pada trideset sedmog svjeta, nije izgubljen ni jedan drugi svijet Satanije, čak ni mlađi svjetovi koji su naseljeni nakon pobune[23].
8. THE SON OF MAN ON URANTIA
8. SIN ČOVJEKA NA URANTIJI
1955 53:8.1 Lucifer and Satan freely roamed the Satania system until the completion of the bestowal mission of Michael on Urantia. They were last on your world together during the time of their combined assault upon the Son of Man.
2014 53:8.1 Lucifer i Satan su se slobodno kretali sustavom Satanije do završetka Mihaelove misije darivanja Urantiji.Oni su se zadnji put zajedno našli na vašem svijetu dok su skupa nastojali izvršiti napad na Sina Čovječjeg.
1955 53:8.2 Formerly, when the Planetary Princes, the “Sons of God,” were periodically assembled, “Satan came also,” claiming that he represented all of the isolated worlds of the fallen Planetary Princes. But he has not been accorded such liberty on Jerusem since Michael’s terminal bestowal. Subsequent to their effort to corrupt Michael when in the bestowal flesh, all sympathy for Lucifer and Satan has perished throughout all Satania, that is, outside the isolated worlds of sin.
2014 53:8.2 Nekada, prilikom povremenih skupova Planetarnih Kneževa - "Božjih Sinovi" - "I Satan bi došao," tvrdeći da je bio predstavnik svih izoliranih svjetova palih Planetarnih Kneževa[24][25]. Međutim, njemu je uskraćena takva sloboda nakon Mihaelovog završnog darivanja. Njihov pokušaj korumpiranja Mihaela za vrijeme njegovog darivanja u tijelu, koštao je Lucifera i Satana simpatije svih bića cijele Satanije ili preciznije, područja izvan izoliranih svjetova grijeha.
1955 53:8.3 The bestowal of Michael terminated the Lucifer rebellion in all Satania aside from the planets of the apostate Planetary Princes. And this was the significance of Jesus’ personal experience, just before his death in the flesh, when he one day exclaimed to his disciples, “And I beheld Satan fall as lightning from heaven.” He had come with Lucifer to Urantia for the last crucial struggle.
2014 53:8.3 Mihaelovo darivanje je okončalo Luciferovu pobunu širom cijele Satanije, izuzev na planetima odmetnulih Planetarnih Knezova[26]. I u tome leži značaj Isusovog osobnog iskustva neposredno prije smrti u tijelu, kad je jednom prilikom rekao svojim učenicima, "Vidjeh Satana gdje pade kao munja s neba
[27]." I Satan je došao s Luciferom na Urantiju radi ove najsudbonosnije bitke.
1955 53:8.4 The Son of Man was confident of success, and he knew that his triumph on your world would forever settle the status of his agelong enemies, not only in Satania but also in the other two systems where sin had entered. There was survival for mortals and security for angels when your Master, in reply to the Lucifer proposals, calmly and with divine assurance replied, “Get you behind me, Satan.” That was, in principle, the real end of the Lucifer rebellion. True, the Uversa tribunals have not yet rendered the executive decision regarding the appeal of Gabriel praying for the destruction of the rebels, but such a decree will, no doubt, be forthcoming in the fullness of time since the first step in the hearing of this case has already been taken.
2014 53:8.4 Sin Čovjeka je bio uvjeren u svoj uspjeh, a on je znao da će njegova pobjeda na vašem svijetu zauvijek riješiti pitanje statusa njegovih višestoljećnih neprijatelja, ne samo u Sataniji već i u druga dva sustava zahvaćena grijehom. Kad je vaš Učitelj u odgovor na Luciferov prijedlog mirno i s božanskom sigurnošću odgovorio, "Odstupi, Satane," njegove su riječi donijele nastavak života smrtnicima i sigurnost anđelima[28]. To je, u principu, bio stvarni svršetak Luciferove pobune. Istina, sudovi Uverse još uvijek nisu bili donijeli konačnu odluku u vezi Gabrijelove optužbe koja je tražila uništenje pobunjenika, no takva će odluka nesumnjivo biti donesena u pravi trenutak kako je već poduzet prvi korak prema saslušanju.
1955 53:8.5 Caligastia was recognized by the Son of Man as the technical Prince of Urantia up to near the time of his death. Said Jesus: “Now is the judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast down.” And then still nearer the completion of his lifework he announced, “The prince of this world is judged.” And it is this same dethroned and discredited Prince who was once termed “God of Urantia.”
2014 53:8.5 Sve do otprilike u vrijeme njegove smrti, Sin Čovječji je priznavao Kaligastiju kao nominalnog Kneza Urantije. Isus je rekao: "Sad je sud ovome svijetu; sad će knez ovoga svijeta biti bačen van[29]." Isus je zatim još bliže završetku svog životnog puta, rekao: "Donesena je presuda Knezu ovoga svijeta
[30]." I upravo je ovaj svrgnuti i diskreditirani Knez taj koji je nekoć nazivan "Bogom Urantije
[31]."
1955 53:8.6 The last act of Michael before leaving Urantia was to offer mercy to Caligastia and Daligastia, but they spurned his tender proffer. Caligastia, your apostate Planetary Prince, is still free on Urantia to prosecute his nefarious designs, but he has absolutely no power to enter the minds of men, neither can he draw near to their souls to tempt or corrupt them unless they really desire to be cursed with his wicked presence.
2014 53:8.6 Posljednji Mihaelov čin prije nego što će napustiti Urantiju, bio je ponuda milosti Kaligastiji i Daligastiji, koju su oni odbili s prezirom. Kaligastija, vaš odmetnuli Planetarni Knez, još uvijek se slobodno kreće na Urantiji i izvršava svoje pokvarene zamisli, ali on nema moć da uđe u ljudske umove ili da se približi ljudskim dušama da ih iskuša ili korumpira, osim ako oni uistinu žele prokletstvo njegove zle prisutnosti.
1955 53:8.7 Before the bestowal of Michael these rulers of darkness sought to maintain their authority on Urantia, and they persistently withstood the minor and subordinate celestial personalities. But since the day of Pentecost this traitorous Caligastia and his equally contemptible associate, Daligastia, are servile before the divine majesty of the Paradise Thought Adjusters and the protective Spirit of Truth, the spirit of Michael, which has been poured out upon all flesh.
2014 53:8.7 Prije Mihaelovog darivanja, ovi su vladari tame nastojali održati svoju vlast na Urantiji, neprestano se nastojeći oduprijeti nižim i podređenim nebeskim ličnostima. Ali od dana Duhova, ovaj izdajnik Kaligastija i njegov jednako prezreni suradnik Daligastija su ponizni pred božanskim veličanstvom Rajskih Misaonih Ispravljača i zaštitničkog Duha Istine - Mihaelovog duha - koji je izliven na sve ljude.
1955 53:8.8 But even so, no fallen spirit ever did have the power to invade the minds or to harass the souls of the children of God. Neither Satan nor Caligastia could ever touch or approach the faith sons of God; faith is an effective armor against sin and iniquity. It is true: “He who is born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one touches him not.”
2014 53:8.8 Ali i pored toga, ni jedan zbačeni duh nikad nije imao moć da zaposjedne umove ili da uznemirava duše Božje djece. Ni Satan ni Kaligastija nikad nisu mogli prići ljudima koji su Božji sinovi po vjeri; vjera je djelotvoran zaštitni oklop protiv grijeha i nitkovluka[32]. Istina je: "Onaj koji je rođen od Boga sebe čuva, i zli ga se ne dotiče
[33]."
1955 53:8.9 In general, when weak and dissolute mortals are supposed to be under the influence of devils and demons, they are merely being dominated by their own inherent and debased tendencies, being led away by their own natural propensities. The devil has been given a great deal of credit for evil which does not belong to him. Caligastia has been comparatively impotent since the cross of Christ.
2014 53:8.9 Uopćeno, kada slabi i razuzdani smrtnici misle da se nalaze pod utjecajem vragova i demona, oni su ustvari pod utjecajem svojih vlastitih niskih unutarnjih tendencija, vođeni vlastitim prirodnim sklonostima. Ljudi pripisuju đavlu mnogo zla koje ovaj nikada nije počinio. Kaligastija je relativno bespomoćan od Kristova raspeća.
9. PRESENT STATUS OF THE REBELLION
9. TRENUTNI STATUS POBUNE
1955 53:9.1 Early in the days of the Lucifer rebellion, salvation was offered all rebels by Michael. To all who would show proof of sincere repentance, he offered, upon his attainment of complete universe sovereignty, forgiveness and reinstatement in some form of universe service. None of the leaders accepted this merciful proffer. But thousands of the angels and the lower orders of celestial beings, including hundreds of the Material Sons and Daughters, accepted the mercy proclaimed by the Panoptians and were given rehabilitation at the time of Jesus’ resurrection nineteen hundred years ago. These beings have since been transferred to the Father’s world of Jerusem, where they must be held, technically, until the Uversa courts hand down a decision in the matter of Gabriel vs. Lucifer. But no one doubts that, when the annihilation verdict is issued, these repentant and salvaged personalities will be exempted from the decree of extinction. These probationary souls now labor with the Panoptians in the work of caring for the Father’s world.
2014 53:9.1 Na samom početku Luciferove pobune, Mihael je ponudio spasenje svim pobunjenicima. Svima koji su bili voljni pokazati dokaz o iskrenom pokajanju, on je nakon postizanja punog kozmičkog suvereniteta ponudio oprost i povratak na neki oblik kozmičke službe. Ni jedan od lidera nije prihvatio ovu milostivu ponudu. Ali tisuće anđela i nižih redova nebeskih bića, uključujući i stotine Materijalnih Sinova i Kćeri, su prihvatili milosni proglas Panopčana i primili rehabilitaciju po Isusovom uskrsnuću prije tisuću devet stotina godina. Ta bića su zatim prevedena na Očev svijet Jeruzema, gdje tehnički moraju ostati dok sudovi Uverse ne izreknu presudu u slučaju Gabrijela protiv Lucifera. Ali nema sumnje da će po donošenju odluke o uništenju, te ličnosti koje se budu pokajale biti spašene i izuzete iz odluke o uništenju. Ove uvjetno oslobođene duše trenutno surađuju s Panopčanima u radu na održavanju Očevog svijeta[34].
1955 53:9.2 The archdeceiver has never been on Urantia since the days when he sought to turn back Michael from the purpose to complete the bestowal and to establish himself finally and securely as the unqualified ruler of Nebadon. Upon Michael’s becoming the settled head of the universe of Nebadon, Lucifer was taken into custody by the agents of the Uversa Ancients of Days and has since been a prisoner on satellite number one of the Father’s group of the transition spheres of Jerusem. And here the rulers of other worlds and systems behold the end of the unfaithful Sovereign of Satania. Paul knew of the status of these rebellious leaders following Michael’s bestowal, for he wrote of Caligastia’s chiefs as “spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”
2014 53:9.2 Drevni prevarant nije bio na Urantiji od dana kada je pokušao navesti Mihaela da skrene s puta dovršenja darivanja i konačnog i definitivnog primitka bezuvjetne vlasti u Nebadonu. Nakon što je Mihael ustoličen kao vladar Nebadona, agenti Starih Dana s Uverse su odveli Lucifera u pritvor i on je od tada ostao zatvorenik na prvom satelitu Očeve skupine prijelaznih svjetova Jeruzema[35]. I vladari drugih svjetova i sustava imaju priliku vidjeti svršetak života nevjernog Suverenog Vladara Satanije. Pavao je bio upoznat sa statusom ovih pobunjeničkih vođa nakon Mihaelovog darivanja, jer on je opisao Kaligastijine vođe kao "duhovnu sile zle koje borave u nebeskim prostorima
[36]."
1955 53:9.3 Michael, upon assuming the supreme sovereignty of Nebadon, petitioned the Ancients of Days for authority to intern all personalities concerned in the Lucifer rebellion pending the rulings of the superuniverse tribunals in the case of Gabriel vs. Lucifer, placed on the records of the Uversa supreme court almost two hundred thousand years ago, as you reckon time. Concerning the system capital group, the Ancients of Days granted the Michael petition with but a single exception: Satan was allowed to make periodic visits to the apostate princes on the fallen worlds until another Son of God should be accepted by such apostate worlds, or until such time as the courts of Uversa should begin the adjudication of the case of Gabriel vs. Lucifer.
2014 53:9.3 Nakon što je Mihael preuzeo vrhovnu vlast nad Nebadonom, on je podnio molbu Starim Danima da mu daju opunomoćenje da pritvori sve ličnosti koje su sudjelovale u Luciferovoj pobuni dok sudovi supersvemira ne riješe tužbu koju je Gabrijel podnio protiv Lucifera, koja je uvedena u arhive vrhovnog suda Uverse prije gotovo dvije stotine tisuća godina Urantija vremena[37]. Što se tiče glavnog sustavnog sjedišta, Stari Dani su udovoljili Mihaelovoj molbi s jednom iznimkom: Satanu je dopušteno da povremeno posjeti odmetnule kneževe palih svjetova dok ovi odmetnuli svjetovi ne prihvate Božjeg Sina ili dok sudovi Uverse ne počnu suđenje u slučaju Gabrijela protiv Lucifera.
1955 53:9.4 Satan could come to Urantia because you had no Son of standing in residence—neither Planetary Prince nor Material Son. Machiventa Melchizedek has since been proclaimed vicegerent Planetary Prince of Urantia, and the opening of the case of Gabriel vs. Lucifer has signalized the inauguration of temporary planetary regimes on all the isolated worlds. It is true that Satan did periodically visit Caligastia and others of the fallen princes right up to the time of the presentation of these revelations, when there occurred the first hearing of Gabriel’s plea for the annihilation of the archrebels. Satan is now unqualifiedly detained on the Jerusem prison worlds.
2014 53:9.4 Satan je mogao doći na Urantiju zbog toga što vaš svijet nije imao Sina u rezidenciji - Planetarnog Kneza ili Materijalnog Sina. Makiventa Melkizedek je bio proglašen zamjenikom Planetarnog Kneza Urantije, dok je otvaranje Gabrijelove tužbe protiv Lucifera obilježilo uvođenje privremenih planetarnih režima na svim izoliranim svjetovima. Istina da je Satan periodično posjećivao Kaligastiju i druge pale kneževe sve do doba ovih otkrivenja, kada je došlo do prvog saslušanja Gabrijelove molbe za uništenje drevnih pobunjenika. Satan je sada u bezuvjetnom pritvoru na pritvornim svjetovima Jeruzema.
1955 53:9.6 We do not look for a removal of the present Satania restrictions until the Ancients of Days make final disposition of the archrebels. The system circuits will not be reinstated so long as Lucifer lives. Meantime, he is wholly inactive.
1955 53:9.7 The rebellion has ended on Jerusem. It ends on the fallen worlds as fast as divine Sons arrive. We believe that all rebels who will ever accept mercy have done so. We await the flashing broadcast that will deprive these traitors of personality existence. We anticipate the verdict of Uversa will be announced by the executionary broadcast which will effect the annihilation of these interned rebels. Then will you look for their places, but they shall not be found. “And they who know you among the worlds will be astonished at you; you have been a terror, but never shall you be any more.” And thus shall all of these unworthy traitors “become as though they had not been.” All await the Uversa decree.
2014 53:9.7 Na Jeruzemu, pobuna je već okončana. Na palim svjetovima, ona će biti okončana s dolaskom božanskihSinova. Vjerujemo da su svi pobunjenici koji će ikada prihvatiti milost tako već učinili. Čekamo najnovije vijesti koje ovim izdajnicima trebaju uskratiti egzistenciju ličnosti. Čekamo da izvršni kanal emitira presudu Uverse i da potvrdi odluku o uništenju tih interniranih pobunjenika. Tada ćete ih tražiti, ali ih nećete naći[40]. "Svi koji te poznaju na svjetovima zgroziše se nad tobom; ti si bio strah i trepet, ali te nestade zauvijek
[41]." I tako će svi ovi nedostojni izdajnici biti "kao da ih nigda bilo nije
[42]." Svi čekuju na odluku Uverse.
1955 53:9.8 But for ages the seven prison worlds of spiritual darkness in Satania have constituted a solemn warning to all Nebadon, eloquently and effectively proclaiming the great truth “that the way of the transgressor is hard”; “that within every sin is concealed the seed of its own destruction”; that “the wages of sin is death.”
