10:14 Until now there was no one who has not known about the Moon and the Sun. Yet there is no one who knows that the Moon and the Sun are My physical manifestations in the heavens and that I created and continue to bless everything that exists.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 153 一四、これまでからも、月日を知らぬ者は無いが、これが天に現れた親神の姿であり、この親神が万物を創造し守護しているのだ、という事を知った者はない。
