Great Construction

THE MESSIAH AND THE REDEEMER


     I have written so far, as the fundamental theory about evil, that evil has been necessary, and that owing to evil civilization has developed as we see today.  Now I have to write about another important matter.  It is that a lot of religions have emerged since the dawn of history until today and they have unexceptionally exhorted good deeds and repudiated evil deeds to the most.  Of course, this is quite natural because their official position lies in removing evil itself, about which I would often be asked a question such as-"Why indeed?  Be God or Buddha, He is the incarnation of love and compassion, whereas He has created evil people and let them do evil acts, and then, punishes them.  Isn't this a sheer contradiction?  Rather, if God had not created evils from the very start, it would not be necessary to punish them at all.  Isn't that exactly the true love of God?"   Indeed, this question is reasonable enough, so I have no word of comment on it.  To tell the truth, my way of thinking is also the same, so every time I would answer as follows, "So it is, to be sure, but in the first place, it is not I who created evils, so I cannot give an explanation.  Basically, God has some reason to create evils, so He is sure to show the prime reason in due course.  Accordingly we have no choice but to wait until then."  I used to say so.

     However, the time has finally come and God has revealed it to me in detail, so I am full of joy.  And since there would be many people who have the same question, I have confidence that when they have read this, they will suddenly open their spiritual eyes as if they got a light at a dark night.  Then, why did all the founders of religion denounce evil?  As I have written in detail above, because evil has been necessary over a period of time, God has not made known the profound meaning of that.  Thus, even for righteous deities there was no way of knowing it, so they persistently intended to create the world of paradise by right means, whereas evil deities tried to carry out their ambitions by evil means in the manner of using any trick all the way to attain their ends.

     However, the time limit of evil has finally come and the direct power of God has begun to manifest itself, so that He has chosen me to disclose the fundamental meaning of good and evil.  That is, each founder of religion so far did not have enough power.  The best example is Jesus Christ.  He himself said that he was the Redeemer, but did not say that he was the Messiah.  The Redeemer means, as the word explains itself, the Lord of redemption.  That is to say, he takes the role to shoulder the burden of the sin of all people, apologize to God and ask for His forgiveness.  In short, he was everyone's representative and was a deity on the side of those who are forgiven, not God who forgives.  Hence, he let himself be crucified in compensation for the sin.

     This explanation is applicable to Buddhism as well.  At first Shakyamuni Buddha preached a great many sutras in order to create a Paradise and devoted himself to delivering his teachings; but somehow things did not evolved as he had anticipated, just when he came to really know his fate and mission as we read in the Buddhist scriptures, Shakyamuni said, "I attained Kenshinjitsu [the literal meaning is "see through truth"] at the age of seventy two."  Then, he became aware of his past mistakes and knew that arrival of the Paradise would be in the far distant future, so he confessed that there were not a few errors in the teachings of sutras which he had preached until then and the truth was all just what he would preach from then on, so that what he preached was his Hou-metsujin Sutra [Hou-metsujin means the total extinction of the Law of Buddha], Miroku-shutsugen-joju Sutra [Miroku-shutsugen-joju means the fulfillment of the prophesy of appearance of Maitreya(the future Buddha)] and Lotus Sutra in Twenty-eight Chapters.  In a word, Shakyamuni Buddha knew Butsu-metsu [the literal meaning is Buddha's death], that is to say, the Law of Buddha would be sure to perish and he said that after then Miroku-no-yo [the world of Maitreya] which is Paradise on Earth would come; this is a well-known story.  At this point, however, in regard to the time there is one thing which we should be careful about; Shakyamuni said that it was five billion, six hundred and seventy million years later the world of Miroku would come.  When we reflect on it, however, even Shakyamuni Buddha would never prophesy about such unthinkable future ages.  After all, there is no point at all in making a prophecy of the occurrence in such distant future.  Because we cannot possibly even imagine what will have become of the earth or human beings in such remote ages.  According to what has been revealed to me by God, the real intention of this was to show the numerals 5, 6, 7, and it was in these numerals that the profound meaning has been hidden.  Namely, the numeral 5 means the sun (fire), the 6 means the moon (water) and the 7 means the earth (soil); this 5-6-7 is the right order but until today the order has been 7-6-5, which is the wrong order.  About this I will subsequently write in more detail, but anyway, even these two major holy men, Jesus Christ and Shakyamuni Buddha, could not preach truth.  First of all, this is evident from the fact that the descriptions of the Buddhist scripture and the Bible both lack clearness, in which nobody has possibly grasped truth at all.  As a matter of course, that could not be helped because of the time.

     However, the time has come when God is to finally reveal the profound truth.  What is described in this book is clear and admits of no doubt, so everyone can grasp the truth easily.  And the tremendous evil power has attained ninety-nine percent control over everything so far, and just as it is about to control everything but one percent, surprisingly enough, the power of one percent will occur and overthrow the conspiracy of evil deity at one sweep.  That is to say, the world in which evil has prevailed over good will change into the world in which good prevails over evil.  To put it specifically, the ninety-nine percent evil implies modern medicine and this is a necessary evil as I have written above, so it has been all right so far.  As a result, however, it has completely held the life which is the most valuable for humans.  If medicine is wrong, the danger for human life can be beyond words.  Since medicine is so firmly believed by people all over the world, it goes without saying that to correct medicine is no easy task at all.
