In this Urantia United book we will read of ancient times. The history of the Earth is of particular interest. The Earth is now in on of its cyclic periods of crisis. Mankind is in the midst of the pains associated with the fore mentioned period of acceptance. As always, man resists. The Earth will perish. Those men who have taken God’s words into their hearts will find their places in Paradise. As we stand on the Earth and consider God, remember that while God is perfect, the Earth and we are not. This includes our minds as they are now. When the time comes that we have achieved the required degree of wisdom, when we no longer need the lessons that the Earth presents. Then we will begin to understand God’s mind. This will be a great revelation that will begin a new cycle for mankind.
