STUDY GROUP - Human Heroes of the Urantia Book [Akhenaten]
95:5.2 Since the disappearance of Melchizedek in the flesh, no human being up to that time had possessed such an amazingly clear concept of the revealed religion of Salem as Ikhnaton. In some respects this young Egyptian king is one of the most remarkable persons in human history. During this time of increasing spiritual depression in Mesopotamia, he kept alive the doctrine of El Elyon, the One God, in Egypt, thus maintaining the philosophic monotheistic channel which was vital to the religious background of the then future bestowal of Michael. And it was in recognition of this exploit, among other reasons, that the child Jesus was taken to Egypt, where some of the spiritual successors of Ikhnaton saw him and to some extent understood certain phases of his divine mission to Urantia.
(64:6.3) 1. The red man. These peoples were remarkable specimens of the human race, in many ways superior to Andon and Fonta. They were a most intelligent group and were the first of the Sangik children to develop a tribal civilization and government. They were always monogamous; even their mixed descendants seldom practiced plural mating.

Noah, Myth and Reality
In this episode of Study Group, we pick up our ongoing investigation of Biblical characters and take a look at the story of Noah, his ark, and the mythical flood that is described in Genesis. This story is particularly interesting because of its parallels to much older myths and truly epic floods that actually occurred in the far distant past.
We start with a brief look at Dalamatia, before moving on to the first Garden of Eden, the later flooding of the Euphrates valley, the Epic of Gilgamesh, and finally the Noah story from Genesis. Interestingly, all of these, except for the flooding of the Euphrates valley in 5000 BC, involved the destruction of a degraded culture by submergence. Both Dalamatia and the first garden had been overrun by the lowest types in their region when they sank beneath the waters of the Persian Gulf and the Mediterranean Sea, respectively. In the Epic of Gilgamesh and the Biblical story of Noah, the entire world is flooded to bring an end to its “wickedness.”
Another interesting parallel is Adam’s preservation of the plant and animal species of first garden by transporting them to the second garden. While this was on land, it is otherwise very similar to the preservation of species in the Biblical Noah and Gilgamesh stories. The Genesis story of Noah was written during the Babylonian captivity and borrowed heavily from both the Epic of Gilgamesh and other much older Sumerian writings that were still in existence in Babylon at the time (around 550 BC).
But it’s during the flooding of the Euphrates valley that we discover the true Noah, who lived in Aram near Erech. By keeping careful written records, he was able to predict the increasing severity of the annual floods. He warned his neighbors without success, but built a houseboat for his family and animals which allowed them to survive the catastrophic flood that soon wiped out the entire village of Aram. Like the Noah in Genesis, the Noah of Aram was also a wine maker. -CT

140:9.3. Jesus advised them to take neither money nor extra clothing, saying, "The laborer is worthy of his hire." And finally he said: "Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be you therefore as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. But take heed, for your enemies will bring you up before their councils, while in their synagogues they will castigate you. Before governors and rulers you will be brought because you believe this gospel, and your very testimony shall be a witness for me to them. And when they lead you to judgment, be not anxious about what you shall say, for the spirit of my Father indwells you and will at such a time speak through you. Some of you will be put to death, and before you establish the kingdom on earth, you will be hated by many peoples because of this gospel; but fear not; I will be with you, and my spirit shall go before you into all the world. And my Father's presence will abide with you while you go first to the Jews, then to the gentiles."
