The Great Temptation
Jesus spends six weeks alone with God on Mount Hermon to master his mind and consecrate himself for the rest of his earthly mission. In this "great temptation," he confronted rebel leaders, rejected compromise, and ended the Lucifer rebellion.
Summary
When Jesus was 31 years old, in 25 CE, he completed his final tour through the heart of Palestine as a private citizen. At the end of this tour, Jesus was led by his indwelling spirit to Mount Hermon, where he spent six weeks alone with God. The purpose of this journey was for Jesus to complete the mastery of his human mind and fully consecrate himself to the remainder of his lifework on earth. It was an unusual time in Jesus’ life and was similar to the subsequent period of forty days that he spent on Mount Hermon just after his baptism (in January of 26 CE) that inaugurated the divine phase of Jesus' earthly career. That period has become associated with the so-called "great temptation" of Jesus, but in fact, those events happened on Mount Hermon in the preceding year. Near the end of this sojourn, Jesus asked his heavenly Father if he could have a conference with the rebels who had instigated the planetary rebellion. He wanted to confront them as himself, the human Jesus. His request was granted, and these rebels were made visible to him. This meeting between Jesus, Caligastia (our rebellious Planetary Prince), and Satan (Lucifer’s representative) took place in the last week of Jesus’ sojourn. Our Biblical records portray this meeting as the "Great Temptation of Jesus."
