God's providential formula in the time of transition

Abraham went the same course. God called Abraham from Ur of the Chaldeans. Since Abraham was the eldest son of an idolater, how did he really believe in God’s calling when he left his home? He believed an unbelievable order and followed it. Later, God ordered him saying, “Sacrifice your son, Isaac as a burnt offering.” God blessed Abraham saying, “Look up at heaven and count the stars — if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be.” Then, what kind of order was this to sacrifice his son Isaac, as a burnt offering, the son who was born when Abraham was 100 years old? This is madness. Who can believe this order?
If you believe in the position impossible to be believed, you can establish your foundation. Why is this so? The fall took place; the human ancestors did not believe in God while standing in the position where they should have had no reason but to believe. Therefore, unless you believe in God from a position where you have reason not to believe Him, the bud of faith does not sprout. This is the traditional realm of faith. This is in accordance with God’s providential formula in the time of transition.
Didn’t Abraham fail to divide his symbolic offering? He thought it was no big deal to divide the offering. You should not think what I teach is no big deal. What I share with you is historical proclamation. How much have you carelessly dropped my words that are more valuable than dividing the offering? You must know that the words you dropped are the conditions of accusation that will remain for thousands and tens of thousands of years.
God’s Will, that could have restored the victorious sovereign that was separated from the satanic world in both Heaven and earth, was frustrated because Abraham failed to divide a little dove in half. Therefore, you must realize that your attitude and actions of disbelief before the Will of God will be tens or hundreds of times more damaging than Abraham’s failure in offering the symbolic sacrifices.
During which all of the first generation Israelites perished and became prey. The people who could not unite with Moses became prey to eagles. By the same token, those first generation Unification Church members stand in the same position, where if you fail to unite with me, you will become prey to eagles. You must know this.
