Obviously he didn’t have a clue there. He thought that the Executioners could be debarred from functioning, so he was ignorant in thinking he could go up against the Ancient of Days which are God.
Scott, I don’t know how you can use “obviously” above, because you have brought up, about being “debarred”, several time. Where this word is used twice in the UB, first in Paper 53, as you have sited:
(603.6) 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.
And second, in the following quote, where I have added the preceding and following quote, for a reason:
(1997.5) 186:1.2 All of these Jews loathed Judas; they looked upon the betrayer with only feelings of utter contempt. Throughout the trial of Jesus before Caiaphas and during his appearance before Pilate, Judas was pricked in his conscience about his traitorous conduct. And he was also beginning to become somewhat disillusioned regarding the reward he was to receive as payment for his services as Jesus’ betrayer. He did not like the coolness and aloofness of the Jewish authorities; nevertheless, he expected to be liberally rewarded for his cowardly conduct. He anticipated being called before the full meeting of the Sanhedrin and there hearing himself eulogized while they conferred upon him suitable honors in token of the great service which he flattered himself he had rendered his nation. Imagine, therefore, the great surprise of this egotistic traitor when a servant of the high priest, tapping him on the shoulder, called him just outside the hall and said: “Judas, I have been appointed to pay you for the betrayal of Jesus. Here is your reward.” And thus speaking, the servant of Caiaphas handed Judas a bag containing thirty pieces of silver — the current price of a good, healthy slave.
(1998.1) 186:1.3 Judas was stunned, dumfounded. He rushed back to enter the hall but was debarred by the doorkeeper. He wanted to appeal to the Sanhedrin, but they would not admit him. Judas could not believe that these rulers of the Jews would allow him to betray his friends and his Master and then offer him as a reward thirty pieces of silver. He was humiliated, disillusioned, and utterly crushed. He walked away from the temple, as it were, in a trance. He automatically dropped the money bag in his deep pocket, that same pocket wherein he had so long carried the bag containing the apostolic funds. And he wandered out through the city after the crowds who were on their way to witness the crucifixions.
(1998.2) 186:1.4 From a distance Judas saw them raise the cross piece with Jesus nailed thereon, and upon sight of this he rushed back to the temple and, forcing his way past the doorkeeper, found himself standing in the presence of the Sanhedrin, which was still in session. The betrayer was well-nigh breathless and highly distraught, but he managed to stammer out these words: “I have sinned in that I have betrayed innocent blood. You have insulted me. You have offered me as a reward for my service, money — the price of a slave. I repent that I have done this; here is your money. I want to escape the guilt of this deed.”
Where in the quote where, “debarred” is used, it is used in a similar manor as described in Paper 53, and in the quote that follows, Judas “forcing his way past the doorkeeper,” which is similar to what Lucifer was referring to, when it is stated in Paper 53. Judas asserted himself to get past the doorkeeper.
Now in the preceding quote, I underlined and highlighted “pricked” where at first I thought it a type-O, and should have been “tricked”, but then realized that the use of the word “pricked” was an indication that Judas realized or somehow was impressed upon his conscious, that he was “tricked” into thinking that what he thought was something that he had conviction to do, and realized that the Sanhedrin used him. So the betrayer was betrayed, himself. Also, all this after thinking that what he was doing was somehow by the direction of Jesus, for when Jesus said to him at the supper, to “go and do what you must do”, would have somehow affirmed in Judas’ mind to be something which he was supposed to do. Later to realize that this was a mind trip, to be sure.
So, do these two uses of the word “debarred” have a similarity, as used in the UB, and was this usage deliberate so that when looking up the word, it associates these two events, with the government of the Universe and the government in Jesus’ day?
