2) The First Stage is the Restoration of All Things

Three-and-a-half years are needed as the basic period toward the restoration the all things. This course is related to the restoration of the external form, in other words the restoration of our physical body. God created the environment first. Moreover, the period of activity while on the fundraising team on the vertical side gives us the qualifications to recreate our physical bodies. During this period, you need to work hard physically.

Looking at it from the providence of God, restoration does not only signify restoration on the individual level. The course of the restoration of all things corresponds to restoration of the Old Testament Age. Without the restoration of the historical events, there cannot be a complete restoration of ourselves. The active and sacrificial effort made during the three-and-a-half years on a fundraising team is a way to offer all things in order to be linked with the Old Testament Age.

This period is the time when that type of indemnity condition is presented. Therefore, our toil and efforts automatically become connected with the central providence of God.

All of you have the experience of having done fundraising. However, within a short time period to form a condition, or earning money for certain purposes inside the department that you are in cannot compare with the activities of the fundraising team. The intention and purpose behind fundraising is not at the level of the department or nation, but are to be connected to the purpose of God's main dispensation, whose purpose is concerned with the whole.

As you know, a fundraising team normally works diligently from early in the morning until late at night. This course sets the indemnity condition for recreating the physical body and gives us the qualifications to indemnify the Old Testament Age.
