Ofudesaki chushaku

2:41 I have explained and instructed various things about the future until now, and that is because I am fully aware of everything in the future.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 26 四一、今までにも種々と将来の事を説き諭してあるが、それは親神のほうには何も彼も将来の事がよくわかっているからである。

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 32:54

The phrase “what is certain” is intended to imply that, although humans do not see what lies ahead, God sees it clearly. That is why God explains any and every matter.
