The Lucifer Rebellion
The Lucifer Rebellion
루시퍼는 네바돈에서 빛나는 1차 라노난덱 아들이었다. 여러 체계에서 근무한 경험이 있었고, 자신이 속한 집단에서 높은 조언자였고, 지혜와 총명함과 능률면에서 뛰어났다. 루시퍼는 그의 계층에서 삼십칠{37}번이었고, 멜기세덱들이 그를 임명했을 때, 70만 명 이상의 부류 가운데서 가장 유능하고 총명한 100명 가운데 하나로서 지명됐다. 출발은 이렇게 훌륭했으나, 악과 오류를 통해서 죄에 빠지게 됐고, 지금은 네바돈에서 자신의 충동에 굴복하고--곧 우주 충의를 저버리고, 형제관계의 책무를 무시하고, 시공우주의 관계를 보지 못하고-- 거짓된 개인 자유라는 궤변에 항복한, 세 체계 주권자 가운데 하나로 간주된다.
53:0.1 (601.1)
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.
53:0.2 (601.2)
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.
53:1.1 (601.3)
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.
53:1.2 (601.4)
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.
53:1.3 (601.5)
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!”
루시퍼는 자기 주장에 대해 너희 행성에서 변호하도록 자신의 수석{首席} 부관인 사탄을 배정한 사실 때문에, 유란시아에는 거의 알려지지 않았다. 사탄은, 동일한 1차 라노난덱 집단의 일원이었지만, 체계 주권자로서 역할을 한 적이 전혀 없었으며;루시퍼 반란에 온전히 가담했다. “마귀”는 바로 캘리개스챠, 즉 유란시아의 행성 왕자에서 폐위된, 2차 라노난덱 계층의 한 아들에 불과하다. 미가엘이 육신을 입고 유란시아에 있을 때, 루시퍼와 사탄과 캘리개스챠는 미가엘의 증여 사명이 훼손되도록 꾀하려고 연합했다. 그러나 이들은 확실히 실패했다.
53:1.4 (602.1)
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.
53:1.6 (602.3)
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.”
53:2.2 (602.5)
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.”
아무도 루시퍼에게 반역을 제안한 적이 없었다. 미가엘의 뜻과, 미가엘이 대표하는 우주 아버지의 계획에 반대하는 자주적-주장이라는 관념은, 그의 고유 정신에서 발단됐다. 그는 창조주 아들과 친밀한 관계였고, 항상 충성스러웠다. 루시퍼가 자신의 정신을 찬미하기 전에는, 우주 경영에 관한 불만을 공개적으로 표현한 적이 전혀 없었다. 그가 침묵했음에도, 표준시간으로 100년이 넘도록, 살빙톤의 합동 항존자는 루시퍼의 정신 속에서 모든 것이 평화롭지는 않다는 것을 우버사에 상기시켜주고 있었다. 이 정보는 창조주 아들 및 노라티아덱의 성좌 아버지에게도 통보됐다.
53:2.3 (602.6)
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.
53:2.4 (602.7)
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.
루시퍼의 반역에서 최종적으로 극에 달했던 정확한 원인 또는 여러 원인을 지적하기는 무척 어렵다. 우리가 확신하는 오직 한 가지는:첫 시작이 무엇이었든지, 그것은 루시퍼의 정신에서 기원됐다는 점이다. 자기를-기만하는 지점까지 스스로 조성한 자아의 교만함이 분명히 있었으며, 그리하여 루시퍼는 반역에 대한 자신의 성찰이, 우주에게는 그렇지 않더라도 체계에는 실제로 선한 것이라고 한동안 진정으로 자신을 설득했다. 그의 계획이 환멸감에 이를 정도로 발전했을 때쯤에는, 그의 독창적이고 남들을-이간질하는 자존심으로는 멈출 수 없을 만큼 너무 멀리 가버렸음에 틀림없다. 그는 이런 체험을 하면서 어느 시점에 신실하지 못하게 됐고, 악이 발전하여 고의적이고 계획적인 죄가 됐다. 이런 일이 발생한 것은, 이 총명한 행정관이 차후에 취한 행동으로 증명된다. 회개할 수 있는 기회가 그에게 오랫동안 주어졌으나, 제안된 자비를 그의 부하 가운데 일부만이 받아들였다. 성좌 아버지들의 요청에 따라서, 에덴시아의 신실 항존자는 이 악명 높은 반역자들을 구하기 위한 미가엘의 계획을 직접 제시했지만, 창조주 아들의 자비는 항상 거부됐고, 갈수록 더욱 심한 모욕과 경멸과 함께 거절당했다.
53:2.5 (603.1)
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.
1. 우주 아버지의 실체. 루시퍼는 우주 아버지가 실제로는 존재하지 않고, 물리적 인력과 공간-에너지가 우주에 내재돼있으며, 아버지는 낙원 아들들이 아버지 이름으로 우주를 통치하려고 지어낸 신화{神話}에 불과하다고 비난했다. 인격이 우주 아버지의 선물임을 부인했다. 낙원에서 식별할 수 있는 아버지의 실제 인격에 대한 아주 분명한 관념을 완결성취자들조차 갖고 돌아온 적이 전혀 없는 것으로 보아, 그들이 낙원 아들들과 공모하여 전체 창조계에 사기{詐欺}를 치고 있다고 넌지시 비추기까지 했다. 그는 공경을 무지의 소치라고 매도했다. 그 비난은 포괄적이었고, 무시무시했고, 모욕적이었다. 당시에 예루셈에 있던 상승한 시민들이, 반역자의 모든 제안에 대항하여 견고히 서고 계속 흔들리지 않도록 영향을 끼친 것은, 의심할 여지없이, 완결성취자들에 대한 이 은근한 공격이었다.
53:3.2 (603.3)
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.
53:3.3 (603.4)
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.
53:3.4 (603.5)
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.
53:3.5 (603.6)
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.
3. 상승 필사자를 훈련하는 보편적 계획에 대한 공격. 루시퍼는, 상승하는 필사자들에게 우주 경영 원칙을 아주 철저하게 훈련하는 짜임새에 너무 많은 시간과 에너지가 소모된다고 주장했으며, 자신이 그 근거로 인용하는 원칙들이 비윤리적이고 불합리하다고 주장했다. 알려지지 않은 어떤 운명을 위하여 공간의 필사자를 준비시키는 오랜 기간의 계획표에 대해 반대했고, 완결성취자 단체가 예루셈에 현존하는 것은, 이 필사자들이 순전히 허구적인 운명을 준비하려고 오랜 세월을 허비해왔음을 증명한다고 주장했다. 기원됐던 구체와 비슷한 비천한 구체로 돌아가는 것보다 더 영화롭지 못한 운명에 완결성취자들이 이미 봉착했다고 지적하면서 비웃었다. 완결성취자들이 과도한 훈육과 장기간의 훈련으로 이미 타락했다고 공표하는 동시에, 신화{神話}같은 영원한 운명을 지녔다는 허구성에 모든 창조물이 노예가 되도록 하는 책략에 상승 필사자들이 지금 협동하고 있으므로, 실제로는 완결성취자들이 동료 필사자들을 배신하고 있다고 공표했다. 상승자들이 개인의 자결권이라는 자유를 누려야한다고 주장했다. 그는, 하나님의 낙원 아들들이 후원하고 무한 영이 지지하는, 필사자 상승 계획 전체에 도전하고 이를 비난했다.
53:3.6 (604.1)
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.
53:4.1 (604.3)
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.”
자주적-주장이 루시퍼 반역의 표어였다. 그의 주요 논점 가운데 하나는, 자체-정부가 멜기세덱 및 다른 집단들에게 좋고 올바르다면, 그것은 모든 지성체 계층에게도 똑같이 좋다는 것이었다. “정신의 동등함”과 “지성인의 형제관계”를 단호하고 완고하게 주장했다. 모든 정부가 지역 행성들로 제한돼야하고, 그 행성들의 자발적 연합이 지역 체계로 제한돼야한다고 주장했다. 그는 다른 어떤 감독권도 허용하지 않았다. 행성 왕자들에게, 그들이 최고 행정관으로서 그 세계를 통치할 것이라고 약속했다. 입법 활동이 성좌 본부에서, 그리고 사법적 직무 수행이 우주 수도에서 이뤄지는 것을 비난했다. 이 모든 정부 기능이 체계 본부에 집중돼야한다고 주장했으며, 자신의 입법 집회를 수립하기에 착수했고, 사탄의 관할 아래 자신의 법정을 조직했다. 그리고 그는 변절한 세계의 왕자들도 똑같이 하라고 지시했다.
53:4.2 (604.4)
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.
53:4.4 (605.1)
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.
53:4.5 (605.2)
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.
53:4.6 (605.3)
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.”
53:4.7 (605.4)
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.
53:5.1 (605.5)
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.
53:5.2 (605.6)
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.”
53:5.3 (605.7)
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.
미가엘이 루시퍼 반역의 실제 투쟁에서 초연{超然}해있기로 선택했으므로, 가브리엘은 자신의 개인 참모진을 에덴시아에 소집하고, 지고자들과 상담한 후에, 사타니아의 충성스런 무리들에 대한 지휘권을 떠맡기로 작정했다. 미가엘은 살빙톤에 머물렀고, 한편 가브리엘은 예루셈으로 나아가, 아버지께--곧 루시퍼와 사탄이 의심했던 바로 그 우주 아버지께-- 헌정된 구체에 자리잡았으며, 모여든 충성스런 인격체 무리 앞에 미가엘의 깃발을 내걸었는데, 이것은 흰색 바탕에 세 개의 하늘색 동심원{同心圓}이 있는, 전체 창조물의 삼위일체 정부의 물질적 상징이었다.
53:5.4 (605.8)
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.
“하늘에 전쟁이 있었으며;미가엘의 지휘관과 그의 천사들이 용에 대항해서(루시퍼와 사탄 및 배반한 왕자들에 대항해서) 싸웠으며;용과 그의 반역하는 천사들이 맞섰지만 이기지 못했다.” 이 “하늘의 전쟁”은 유란시아에서 분쟁이 야기될 수 있는 것 같은 그런 물리적 전쟁이 아니었다. 투쟁하던 초기에, 루시퍼는 행성의 원형극장에서 계속 떠들어댔다. 가브리엘은 바로 가까이 자리잡은 본부에서 반역의 궤변을 끊임없이 폭로하는 일을 했다. 최종 결론에 도달할 때까지, 이 두 토론회 사이에서 태도를 결정하지 못할 정도로 의심에 사로잡혔던 다양한 인격체가 그 구체에 있었다.
53:5.6 (606.2)
“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.
53:5.7 (606.3)
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.
53:6.1 (606.4)
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.
53:6.2 (606.5)
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.
53:6.3 (606.6)
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.
53:6.4 (606.7)
“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.
“루시퍼의 탈퇴로 인해 성좌 회로에서 자동적으로 차단됐기 때문에, 우리는 우리 정보 단체의 충성에 의존했는데, 그들은 근처에 있는 란투리아 체계로부터 에덴시아로 원조 요청을 전달했으며;질서 있는 나라와 충성스런 지성 그리고 진리의 영은, 반역과 자주적-주장과 소위 개인적 자유를 물리치고 선천적으로 승리한다는 것을 우리는 발견했으며;루시퍼를 대신할 덕망 있는 후계자로서 새 체계 주권자가 도착할 때까지 버틸 수 있었다. 그리고 그 직후에 나는 유란시아의 멜기세덱 관재인신분을 지닌 단체에 배정되어, 배반한 캘리개스챠의 세계에서 충성스런 스랍 계층들의 명령을 관할하는 일을 맡았는데, 캘리개스챠는 루시퍼가 발표한 악명 높은 자유 선언에서 제시한 바와 같이, 그의 구체가 ‘해방된 세계와 자유롭게 된 인격체들’의 체계라는 새롭게 입안된 체계의 구성원임을 선포했으며, 이것은 ‘잘못 통치되고 잘못 경영된 사타니아 세계들에서, 자유를-사랑하고 자유롭게-생각하고 앞을-내다보는 지성체들을 부르기 위해 발표한 선언이었다.”
53:6.5 (606.8)
“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.’”
루시퍼 반역은 체계에 널리 퍼졌다. 탈퇴한 행성 왕자 37명 대부분은 최고반역자 편에 서서 자신의 세계 행정부를 경영했다. 오직 파놉티아에서만 행성 왕자가 자기 사람들을 손아귀에 넣는 데 실패했다. 이 세계의 경우에, 사람들은 멜기세덱들의 안내에 따라서, 미가엘을 지지하는 쪽으로 모여들었다. 그 필사자 영역의 한 젊은 여자 엘라노라가 인간 종족들의 주도권을 잡았으며, 투쟁으로-찢겨진 그 세계에서 어느 한 영혼도 루시퍼 깃발 아래에 참여하지 않았다. 그리고 이 충성스런 파놉티아인들은 그후로 계속, 일곱째 예루셈 과도기 세계에 보호자로서 이바지했고, 아버지의 구체 및 그 둘레에 있는, 임시수용하는 일곱 세계에서 건축자로서 근무했다. 파놉티아인은 이 세계들의 엄밀한 관리인일 뿐만 아니라, 또한 미래에 어떤 미지의 활용을 위하여 이 구체들을 꾸미려고 미가엘이 친히 내린 지시를 수행하기도 한다. 그들은 에덴시아로 가는 도중에 머무는 동안 이 작업을 한다.
53:7.1 (607.2)
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.
53:7.2 (607.3)
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.
방송 서비스와 모든 다른 행성 간 소통 수단이 체계 회로 감독관들의 작용으로 인해 중지됐기 때문에, 모든 탈퇴 선전활동은 개인의 노력으로 수행돼야했다. 반란이 실제로 발발하자, 사타니아 체계 전체는 성좌 회로와 우주 회로에서 모두 격리됐다. 스랍 대행자와 단독 사자들이, 이 시기 동안 들어오고 나가는 모든 메시지를 처리했다. 타락한 세계에 이르는 회로들 역시 차단됐고, 그리하여 루시퍼는 자신의 사악한 책략을 확장시키는 데 이 수단을 활용할 수 없었다. 그리고 이 회로들은, 최고 반역자들이 사타니아 울타리 안에 거하는 한, 다시 회복되지 않을 것이다.

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.
53:7.4 (607.5)
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.
53:7.5 (608.1)
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.
최상급 스라빔 계층 중에서는 한 명의 천사도 잃지 않았지만, 그다음 상급자들 계층에서는 상당히 많은 집단이 기만당하고 함정에 빠졌다. 마찬가지로 셋째 계층 곧 감독관 계층 중에서 일부 천사가 현혹됐다. 그러나 격렬한 붕괴가 넷째 집단 곧 경영자 천사들에게 일어났는데, 그들은 대개 체계 수도의 임무에 배정되는 스라빔이다. 마노티아가 그들 가운데 거의 3분의 2를 구했으나, 3분의 1이 약간 넘는 숫자는 자기 두목을 따라서 반역의 대열에 합류했다. 경영자 천사들에게 배속된 전체 예루셈 체루빔 중에서 3분의 1이 불충한 스라빔과 함께 유실{遺失}됐다.
53:7.6 (608.2)
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.
53:7.7 (608.3)
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.”
53:7.8 (608.4)
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.
53:7.9 (608.5)
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.
53:7.10 (608.6)
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.
53:7.11 (608.7)
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.
“하늘의 전쟁”이 시작된 때부터 루시퍼의 후계자가 임명될 때까지, 체계 시간으로 2년 이상 걸렸다. 그러나 마침내 새 주권자가 왔는데, 참모진과 함께 유리바다에 도착했다. 나는 가브리엘이 에덴시아에서 동원한 예비군에 속해있었고, 노라티아덱 성좌 아버지에게 전한, 라나훠지의 첫 메시지를 잘 기억한다. 이렇게 기록돼있었다:“예루셈 시민 중에서 하나도 잃지 않았다. 상승하는 모든 필사자가 불같은 시험에서 살아남았고, 모두가 혹독한 시험에서 승리자로 나아왔다.” 그리고 동시에, 상승하는 필사자의 생존체험이, 반역을 방지하는 가장 큰 보장이고, 죄를 막는 가장 확실한 보호조치라는, 확신을 주는 이 메시지가 살빙톤과 우버사와 낙원에 전달됐다. 이 숭고한 예루셈 집단의 신실한 필사자는 정확하게 187,432,811명이었다.
53:7.12 (608.8)
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.
53:7.13 (609.1)
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.”
53:7.14 (609.2)
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.
53:7.15 (609.3)
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.
53:8.2 (609.5)
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.
53:8.3 (609.6)
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.
사람의 아들은 성공을 확신했으며, 너희 세계에서 승리하면, 사타니아 뿐만 아니라 죄가 들어온 다른 두 체계에서도, 오랜 세월에 걸쳐서 적이었던 자들의 신분이 영원히 해결되리라는 것을 알았다. 루시퍼의 제안에 대한 대답으로, 너희의 주님이 “사탄아 내 뒤로 물러가라”고 태연하게 신성한 확신을 갖고 말했을 때, 필사자는 생존하게 됐고, 천사들에게는 보호수단이 생겼다. 원칙적으로, 그것은 루시퍼 반역의 실제 종말이었다. 반역을 타파해 달라는 가브리엘의 요청에 대하여 우버사 법정이 행정적 결정을 아직 내리지 않은 것이 사실이지만, 이 사건에 대한 청문회에서 첫 단계가 이미 시작됐으므로, 그런 판결은 때가 되면 반드시 이뤄질 것이다.
53:8.4 (609.7)
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.
53:8.5 (610.1)
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.”
53:8.6 (610.2)
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.
53:8.7 (610.3)
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.
53:8.8 (610.4)
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.”
53:8.9 (610.5)
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.
루시퍼 반역 초기 시절에는 미가엘이 모든 반역자에게 구원을 제시했다. 참된 회개의 증거를 보여주는 모든 자에게, 미가엘은 완성된 우주 주권을 획득한 후에 어떤 형태로든 우주 봉사를 통해 이들을 용서하고 복직시켜주겠다고 제안했다. 주모자들 중에서는 아무도 이 자비로운 제의를 받아들이지 않았다. 그러나 수백 명의 물질 아들과 딸을 포함하여 수천의 천사들 및 천상의 하위 계층 존재들은, 파놉티아인들이 선포한 자비를 받아들였고, 1,900년 전에 예수께서 부활할 때 복권됐다. 이 존재들은 그후에 예루셈의 아버지 세계로 옮겨진 상태에 있는데, 가브리엘 대{對} 루시퍼 문제에 대하여 우버사 법정이 판결을 내릴 때까지, 거기에 붙잡혀있어야 한다. 그러나 소멸 평결이 내려질 때, 회개하고 구원받은 이 인격체들은 소멸 판결에서 제외되리라는 것을 아무도 의심하지 않는다. 보호관찰중인 이 혼들은 지금, 아버지의 세계를 돌보는 일에 파놉티아인들과 함께 수고하고 있다.
53:9.1 (610.6)
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.
미가엘이 증여를 완수하고 마침내 네바돈의 무제한 통치자로서 확실히 취임하는 목적을 이루지 못하게 하려고 획책하던 그날 이후로, 그 최고 사기꾼은 유란시아에 발을 들여놓은 적이 전혀 없었다. 미가엘이 네바돈 우주의 확립된 지배자가 됨에 따라서, 루시퍼는 우버사 태고 항존자들을 대행하는 자들에게 구류됐고, 그후로 지금까지, 예루셈에 있는 아버지의 과도기 구체들 중에서 일{1}번 위성에 죄수로 있다. 그리고 다른 세계와 체계들의 통치자들은, 사타니아의 불충한 주권자의 종말을 여기서 목격한다. 캘리개스챠의 우두머리들에 대해, “하늘의 거처에 있는 사악한 영적 무리”라고 기록한 것으로 보아, 바울은 미가엘의 증여에 뒤따른 이 반역 주모자들의 상태에 관해서 알고 있었다.
53:9.2 (611.1)
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.”
네바돈에 대한 최고 주권을 행사하게 되자 미가엘은, 너희가 계산하는 시간으로 거의 20만 년 전에 우버사 최고 법정에 기록된 가브리엘 대 루시퍼 소송사건에서 연방우주 법정 판결이 내려질 때까지, 루시퍼 반역에 관련된 모든 인격체를 억류시킬 수 있는 권한을 태고 항존자들에게 요청했다. 체계 수도 집단과 관련하여, 태고 항존자들은 한 가지만 빼고 미가엘의 요청을 받아들였는데:그것은, 배신한 그런 세계가 또 다른 하나님의 아들을 받아들일 때까지, 또는 우버사 법정이 가브리엘 대 루시퍼 소송의 판결을 시작하는 그런 때까지, 타락한 세계의 배신한 왕자들을 정기적으로 방문할 수 있도록 사탄에게 허락한다는 것이었다.
53:9.3 (611.2)
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.
사탄이 유란시아에 올 수 있었던 것은, 너희에게는 체류 신분을 지닌 아들--곧 행성 왕자도 물질 아들도-- 없었기 때문이다. 그후로 지금까지 마키벤타 멜기세덱이 유란시아의 행성 왕자라고 선포돼왔으며, 가브리엘 대 루시퍼 사건이 다뤄지는 일은, 격리된 모든 세계에서 임시 행성 체제가 시작되는 것을 의미했다. 본 계시가 발표되기 직전에, 최고 반역자들을 소멸시켜달라고 요청하는 가브리엘의 탄원에 대하여 첫 청문회가 열렸을 때까지, 사탄이 주기적으로 캘리개스챠 및 다른 타락한 왕자들을 방문한 것이 사실이다. 사탄은 지금 예루셈 감옥 세계에 무조건 억류돼있다.
53:9.4 (611.3)
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.
반역은 예루셈에서 이미 끝났다. 타락한 세계들에서, 반역은 신의 아들들이 도착하자마자 끝난다. 자비를 언제든지 받아들일 모든 반역자는 이미 받아들였다고 우리는 믿는다. 우리는 이 반역자들에게서 인격 실존을 빼앗게 됐다는 방송이 번쩍 임하기를 기다리고 있다. 우버사의 판결은 사형집행 방송을 통해 발표될 예정이며, 이 판결에 따라 억류된 이 반역자들은 소멸될 것이라고 예상한다. 이렇게 되면, 그들이 있던 자리를 너희가 찾아도 발견할 수 없을 것이다. “그리고 세상 사람들 가운데 너를 알던 자들은 너로 인해 놀랄 것이며;너는 공포의 대상이었으나, 더 이상 결코 그렇지 않을 것이다.” 그리하여 무익한 이 모든 반역자마다, “저희는 마치 없었던 것처럼 될 것이다.” 모두가 우버사 판결을 기다리고 있다.
53:9.7 (611.6)
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.
53:9.8 (611.7)
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.”
