Ofudesaki chushaku

2:33 I, Oyagami, will gradually spread My true intention to nihon and make preparations for the salvation of all humankind. Those who still do not know My teachings will come to comprehend My intention, become spirited with enthusiasm, and bathe in My divine benevolence.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 24–5

三三、親神はだんだんとにほんに親神の真意を行きわたらせ一列を救ける段取りをしているから、未だ親神の教を知らない者にも、やがて神意を了解させて、心置きなく勇んで神恩に浴し得るようにする。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:53

The verse says that God will make arrangements to save Nihon, i.e., those who understand God’s intention. The phrase “God will deal with those of Kara as God wishes” means that God will enlighten and teach those who do not yet understand the teachings. It does not mean to defeat or conquer them.
