2. Parallel Providential Periods Section 1

3. 1) When a period of history repeats the events of a previous period, the two periods are called “parallel providential periods.” Vertical indemnity conditions increase horizontal indemnity conditions become heavier. However, parallel periods do not have exactly the same form and content. history progresses in a spiral movement

4. 2)Main factors that form parallel providential periods The repetition of the providence to restore the F/M a) F/F ---the central figure, the conditional object, the numerical period of indemnity b) F/S ---the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature

5. 3)Two characteristics of parallel providential periods a)Repetition of the numerical period of indemnity similar length b) Repetition of the providential circumstances formed by the central figure, the conditional object and the indemnity condition to remove the fallen nature

6. The Formation of the Number of Generations or Years in the Age of the Providence to Lay the Foundation for Restoration the Foundation for Restoration Section 2

7. A. Why and How the Providence of Restoration Is Prolonged? Why: God’s Will is absolute, but God’s Will is not accomplished without the fulfillment of the human portion of responsibility. How often: God is a being of the number “3.” It may be prolonged to as many as 3 stages.

8. B. Vertical Indemnity Conditions and Horizontal Restoration through Indemnity The conditions that accumulate in the course of providential history due to central figures’ failures to complete their responsibility are called “vertical indemnity conditions.” Abraham’s 3 offerings e.g., When all these conditions are successfully restored in a short time by a person with a specific mission, we call this “horizontal restoration through indemnity.” Jacob’s 12 sons Jesus’ 40-day fast
