Great Construction
Divine Administration
The profundity and subtlety, the greatness of World Messianity, is my topic. Each of my followers will probably also find themselves dumbfounded in admiration as they read.
It should be understood that what is known as the divine administration of God cannot be imagined or conceived in terms of human wisdom. The paradise on earth now under construction in Atami is one example. You all may continue to observe that as construction work gradually advances, the mountains take shape, trees and plants are positioned, and the sites for the various buildings are determined, you no doubtless become aware of changes in the beauty of the view that stretches far away or in the aspects of the immediate surroundings. One outstanding example is that the extent of the rock walls can probably be said to be the greatest in all Japan. The stones needed for construction come limitlessly from one location. There is no end to the stones that can be extracted no matter how much earth is excavated. No other place is there in Atami where so much rock abounds. It is quite intriguing and all are surprised.
There should be no doubt, as even just this one aspect demonstrates, that God had already been planning and preparing tens of thousands of years ago. The scenery that surrounds the area of the paradise, the different kinds of trees and the shapes of the mountains all express a harmonized beauty that bewitches. Intriguing as well is the fact that one parcel after another the land necessary for construction comes into our hands. These are not sporadic purchases. The site is gradually enlarged as adjacent lots are acquired. The timing of the acquisitions is also mysterious, because when we become pressed for land, the owners come to ask us to buy their land. Matters proceed just as I have envisioned them. I go at times to the construction sites to observe the progress, and each time I visit ideas for new projects come into my head, so it is very easy since I really do not have to ponder on the matters at all.
To return to the topic of divine administration that at the start I said deserves admiration, it is the significance of Atami as the most beautiful place in Japan. I continually refer to the fact that here are provided all conditions, the beauty of landscape, climate, hot springs, convenience of transportation and so forth. There is probably no other so beautiful a spot in Japan. When we ponder why this may be so, the following becomes clear. That is, since the very moment the Creator made this planet, it was designed with a permanent plan. Creation was most likely many millions and billions of years ago, but when the earth was made, it was determined that in the future, there would be a world-scale park, a paradisical land, called Japan, provided with all the conditions of climate, topography and natural beauty to wait for the time for realization. What I am talking about is of course Atami. Furthermore, Hakone embodies this significance, and Mount Fuji as well. For Atami in particular was envisioned ideal grounds of the utmost beauty. Material civilization has finally progressed far enough to the stage suitable for the construction of paradise, so I was brought to birth, and, after undergoing various adversities and experiences, have come to live in Atami, to start toward the goal of the construction of a model of paradise on earth.
Whenever I stand on the hills of Auspicious Clouds and look out over the scenery I think. No doubt in the days of the oldest antiquity when I was a divine being, I planned and designed all of this for the future. Spreading out like a miniature landscape, Hatsushima and Oshima, the five capes, the promontory of Manazuru, the mountains along Ten-Country Pass, with the lakes and the expanse of ocean that shine like a mirror—the beauty of the mountains of Atami is nothing other than the greatest of God’s handiwork. Now in the twentieth century, I was born as a human being to realize the original plan, so it is only natural that occur all the miracles that have been described.
What I am accomplishing is not just the construction of a small paradise on earth. That my many other projects as well have all been prepared since the time when all was created may well be imagined.
In regard to these projects, allow me to mention one that is key. Indeed I am boasting, but the focal points that are created from what I have written on paper activate wonderful healing power. You all know that I am able to write five hundred of these focal points in one hour which means I produce one every seven seconds. These works of ink and paper each completed in seven seconds save the lives of thousands and millions of human beings, so the greatness of this divine power is truly beyond comprehension. I am able to do this not because I am great. It is the wonderful divine strength of Almighty God who has bestowed such power upon me.
