Central Figures in the Old Testament Age
6) Joshua
I want to become the warrior for God’s providence
What most impressed Joshua’s heart during those comprehensive lectures on the Principle was the fact that God constantly sent central figures to save humanity. When I thought about the historic reality of humankind in each providential age persecuting and even killing the central figures sent by God, I felt extreme regret over man’s ignorance and stupidity.
I reflected that Joshua also might be one of those ignorant men. I earnestly desire that the era of such ignorant people may be over. Joshua did his best in his predestined environment. There are innumerable human beings to whom the fact that they didn’t fulfill their responsibility in God’s providence has never even occurred.
Realizing that this has been repeated over and over, I realized that there has been so much sin in history. Now, the Messiah who has come as the True Parents of humanity, Reverend Sun Myung Moon, please forgive those central figures who failed in the providential ages and restore this wrong history.
I offer my greatest thanks to God, who led me to realize this truth. But Joshua feels extremely remorseful about having been born at one specific point of the Old Testament Age. Even if I am not a precursor to fulfill God’s providence in the environment of the Completed Testament Age, I want to become a warrior in the Completed Testament Age. I offer many thanks.
