  3. Central History: Subject-Partner Set Conditions for Messiah’s Birth Correlate Histories: Object-Partner Prepare the world to receive Messiah Dual Nature in Human History Both are Essential; both are led by God.

  4. Principles Behind Human History Although historians see some of the parallels in history, they do not understand fully: • Why? • When? • Purpose?

  5. 1. Why Does History Repeat Itself? There are two players in history: 1) God: • His Will: absolute, unchanging, eternal. • But it cannot be done by God Himself. 2) Human Beings: • Human participation is essential. • But, human beings often fail. If human being fail, then God’s will cannot be accomplished. But it cannot be abandoned. God is left with no choice but to try again. Therefore, history repeats itself because man so often fails.

  6. 2. WhenDoes History Repeat Itself? History repeats itself at times when God is preparing to send the Messiah. Therefore, to understand exactly when history repeats itself, we must first understand the central history in the providence of restoration because it is their responsibility to establish the Foundation for the Messiah.

  7. 3. What is the Purposefor Historical Parallels? To prepare every nation and culture for the coming of the Messiah. Although the Messiah will be born to one specific nation, his mission is not for any one people. He comes for the sake of whole world.

  8. Axial Periods in Human History • Therefore, when history is ready to receive the Messiah, it will be like a pregnant woman ready to deliver her child. There will be a flurry of activities in all spheres of life (religion, cultural, science, politics, art, medicine, etc.) in both the Central and Correlate Histories. The purpose is to prepare for the birth and worldwide mission of the Messiah.

  9. Periods in Providential History • First we will show the parallels between the: • The National Level Foundation • The World Level Foundation • Then show the parallels between the Central History and the Correlate Histories.

  11. God’s Central Providence • An amazing set of parallels between the Jewish and Christian histories. • Behind these parallels God’s Providence of Restoration is being conducted. • The main purpose is to establish the Foundation for the Messiah. • Messiah: new seed  sinless lineage. • God’s Providence is also being carried out in the Correlate Histories.

  12. Correlate History • The Heart of our Loving Heavenly Parent seen in the teachings of the Great Religions of the World

  13. God’s Universal Love Truly I perceive that God shows no partiality, but in every nation any one who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him. Acts 10:34‑35

  14. God’s Universal Love The sun rises in the eastern sky and clears away the darkness of the world without prejudice or favoritism toward any particular region. So Buddha's compassion encompasses all people, encouraging them to do right and guides them against evil. Saddharmapundarika-sutra 5 (TB pg. 22)

  15. God’s Universal Love To God belong the East and the West: where ever you turn, there is the Presence of God. For God is everywhere, All-knowing." Koran 2:115

  16. God’s Universal Love And even as one sun gives light to all things in this world, so the Lord of the field gives light to all his field. Bhagavad Gita 13:33

  17. God’s Universal Love The Supreme Teacher is One — His teaching in various forms enshrined. Adi Granth, pg 357

  23. Conclusion We have seen the desperate heart of God in the affairs of human history. God has not abandoned, ignored, or been separate from human history. He is a caring and loving parent who will not violate His principle to prevent man from falling, nor to restore him. We cannot see God in history, because we did not know His Principles.

  24. The Fingerprints of God “If you carefully examine the progress of human history, you will undoubtedly discover God’s resolve and the fingerprints He left as He tirelessly worked behind the scenes.” A Providential View of the Pacific Rim Era in Light of God’s Will: The United States and the Future Direction of the United Nations and the World, March 17, 2007, Kona, Hawaii, USA.
