Alternate English translations

Third Edition

Until now, whatever things I may have told you, nothing has yet appeared.

Until now in fact, things have appeared. But you could not understand them, because you were ignorant of the real origin.

Inoue/Eynon

Until now, no matter what prophecies I have foretold, you have said that nothing has yet been manifested.

Although My prophecies have all been manifested previously, you simply did not understand their true origin.

8:56, 57 Until now, no matter what I said, you have not actually seen any of it with your own eyes. Even if you were to actually see it with your eyes, because you humans do not fundamentally know about My true intention, you would not have understood anything.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 137

五六、五七、今までは、どんな話をしても、実際に目に見えて来た事はない。又、たとい実際に目に見えて現れて来てはいても、人間が根本の真意を知らぬから、目には見えても何の事やら分からなかったのである。
