Third Edition
Until now I have often told you of My omnipotence, but nothing has appeared yet.
From now on I will teach everything beforehand. When it is realized, it shall be the evidence of My omnipotence.
Inoue/Eynon
Hitherto, I have often explained that I am omnipotent, but I have revealed nothing yet.
Hereafter, I shall predict various prophecies. When fulfilled, you will understand My omnipotence.

3:111, 112 Although I have taught every so often until now that My workings are free and unlimited, these free and unlimited workings have never been seen by the human eye before. From now on, I shall speak of many things. You will realize clearly that My workings are free and unlimited when you see the proof before your very eyes as all that I speak about come true, one by one. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 48 一一一、一一二、これまでとても、親神の働きは自由自在としばしば諭しているけれども、その自由自在の働きが人の眼に見えた事はない。今後は意かな話も説くが、その話通りに証拠が見えて来たならば、これで親神の働きは自由自在であるという事を、はっきり悟るがよい。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)
From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:55
III:111
God has often said that God’s workings are free and unlimited, yet until now no such workings have been seen tangibly.
III:112
In this portion of the Ofudesaki, the verb “see” is used frequently. A major theme here is comparing and contrasting the way things have been and the way things will be. The Ofudesaki says that God will teach all sorts of things beforehand. When they come to be seen tangibly, they will provide proof of God’s free and unlimited workings. God will speak about things that have yet to present themselves or yet to be seen and, when they come true, we can be certain that God[’s workings are] indeed free and unlimited.
