Commentary

Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2008)

From Michi no Dai: Foundation of the Path 33:59

Continuing on the same theme, verse 134 says that, having taught and spoken about the “test” for some time and having demonstrated it, as well, God will “at this time… end the test.” This means that the final test will be conducted. This is a major test that will provide indisputable proof, which will enable us to gain a firm conviction.
