900.11f Parallel of God: Israel to Father: Child<\/p>\n

Children, you are, to the Lord, your God.
\n-Deuteronomy 14:1<\/p>\n

And He said: “I will hide My face from them,
\nI will see what their end shall be:
\nFor they are a very froward generation,
\nChildren in whom is no faithfulness.”
\n-Deuteronomy 32:20<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The fact that I have the power to watch over my child when he is away from home, even without his knowing that 1 am watching, does not motivate me to watch him, or to arrange to<\/p>\n

Conversely, as a young man is not truly free and cannot truly reach his potential while under his father’s roof, so too, in parallel, Israel cannot reach its full potential while under the full conscious gaze of the Divine. Thus we posit that civilization. like a child, has various levels of development, and appropriate relationships with the Divine at each level.498<\/sup><\/p>\n

As a father disciplines his child, so God disciplines you.
\n-Deuteronomy 8:5<\/p>\n

This is fact that humanity as a whole can exist in four basic states. In this respect, the history of man is very much like the life of an individual. Like a single person, the entire human race is born and reaches maturity.
