4:82 Because My talks are about things that cannot be seen and are about the future, there are those among you who are listening that doubt what I say. When these things appear and become real this will be none other than actual proof. |
『おふでさき註釈』、p. 64 八二、親神の話は、眼に見えぬ事や将来の事を言うのであるから、聞く人々の間には疑を持つ者もあろうが、それが、事実となってあらわれたならば、これが何より真実の証拠である。 |
Commentary by Yoshitaro Ueda (2009)
From Michi no dai: Foundation of the Path 34:57
It seems to me that in the original of this verse the Japanese expression “dandan to,” which is rendered here as “Step by step,” connotes the idea of “variety” in this instance. God will tell us about things that do not exist, things that have yet to happen or be seen, and things that are yet unknown. When those things “appear,” that is to say, become reality, we will be convinced that God’s words are “the truth”–that they are indeed true. The verse may be referring to such things as giving predictions and teaching things yet unknown to people. These things will be substantiated and proven, thus helping to convince us that God the Parent is God in Truth.
