Great Construction

Statement

Abe Seizo, personal assistant to Meishu-sama

     Today, Meishu-sama has come to the Crystal House, and I will convey to you all the guidance he has given.
     “God had me create the Crystal House as one part of the prototype of paradise on earth. God has had World Messianity undertake the actual construction of this building.
     Furthermore, there will be changes in the church’s organization from now on.”  This is what Meishu-sama said. About this, there is one more point to add.
     “This Crystal House is not to be monopolized. I want as many people as possible to enjoy this locale of picturesque natural scenery.”
     This is what Meishu-sama has said, and I hope everyone will cooperate so that the church can make this a reality.
     As you can see, the building is still unfinished, but we are finally in a position to set the date of completion. After that I believe we will be able to welcome members of the general public as well.
     As far as the organization of the church is concerned, Meishu-sama outlined the establishment of levels or ranks. One standard for those ranks would be those who are powerful channels of Johrei. Another would be those who guide many members to the church. And, another would be those who give much service to God. Meishu-sama said he wanted the church to consider these points and decide.
     This is what I have to convey from Meishu-sama.
