Claim. In Old Testament Age the offering was things; in New Testament Age the offering was sons and daughters; in the Completed Testament Age the offering is one’s own couple, and ultimately God Himself is brought to earth.
Elaboration. Moon supplies a progression of providential offerings: “In the Old Testament Age, all things were offered; in the New Testament Age, the offering was the sons and daughters. In the Completed Testament Age, it is our own couples; and next it is God” (4.7. We must carry out our responsibilities). This is a major periodization claim with sacrificial logic at its center.
The rationale: in OT Age, things of creation were sacrificed to pave the road for sons and daughters — i.e., Levitical animal and grain offerings prepared the messianic line. In NT Age, the offering escalated to sons and daughters — Jesus as the offered Son, and (by extension) believers as living sacrifices. In the Completed Testament Age, the offering escalates again to couples — i.e., Blessed couples become the providential offering. The terminal stage, “next it is God,” means God Himself can finally be brought to earth and re-installed in the family.
This is doing several jobs simultaneously. It (a) gives UC a third dispensational epoch distinct from the Christian periodization, (b) locates the Blessing within sacrificial logic rather than mere matrimonial ceremony, (c) elevates the couple above the individual believer as the providential unit, and (d) reframes the eschaton as God’s actual physical arrival via the human family, not as divine intervention from above.
Moon adds: “Through the Fall, we could not be with God on earth. We separated from God and served Satan, so now we should bring God in and connect everything back together.” The structural problem the Fall introduced is God’s exile from earth; the solution is the offering-progression culminating in God’s return through love-saturated families.
The possession-logic follows: “your possessions are not really your own. Things correspond to the Old Testament Age, and sons and daughters correspond to the New Testament Age.” Possession of things and even of children is provisional and must be offered up through true love — true love that “invests and invests and forgets about it” (the investment-and-forgetting motif). All things, children, and self are then re-received as “possessions of God” and redistributed.
Critics (evangelical, dispensational) typically engage on whether a Completed Testament Age is biblically warranted. Worth a thread once counter atomics on dispensationalism exist.
