Chapter 2 of CSG Book 7 states the progression bluntly: the Old Testament Age offered sacrifices, the New Testament Age believed in Jesus, and the Completed Testament Age attends True Parents. That is not just a demand for stronger loyalty. It is a claim that mediation has become more relationally concrete.
In other words, providential history is described as moving from symbolic offering, to faith in a son, to embodied attendance in a restored parental relationship. The age’s distinctive practice is therefore not only belief about restoration but enacted relationship inside it.
This clarifies why attendance language is so strong in later UC material. The issue is not merely reverence for important leaders. It is the conviction that a new age changes the form by which relationship to God becomes historically concrete.
