12:7 If you ask what kind of talk I will instruct you in now, it is a matter that will purify the minds of the entire world, despite where they may be. *Note: Because everyone in the entire world are Oyagami’s beloved children, God’s compassion shows no favoritism over who was born first. Oyagami also does not discriminate those who have perceived the divine will earlier and those who have perceived it later. It is Oyagami’s overflowing divine favor and true intention is to purify the minds of the entire face of the earth and widely spread the parental love that is behind God’s single-hearted salvation. “Nihon, kara, and tenjiku” refers to the entire face of the earth. Refer to notes for 2:31, 6:29–51, and 10:55–56.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 179 七、今諭すこの話はどういう事かと言うと、世界中、何処如何なる所にいる者も、皆一列に心を澄ますという事である。 註　親神様のため（たあ？）には、世界一列は皆可愛い子供であるから、産み下ろしの後先によって親の慈悲に別け隔てはない。又、神意を悟る事に先後はあろうとも、そのために愛憎の別はない。親神様の恩寵の溢れる所、この地上全体に心を澄まして、普くたすけ一条の親心を行きわたらせたい、というのが親神様の真意である。 にほんもからもてんぢくの事は、地上に普く、　世界一列の意。第二号三一註、第六号二九－五一註、第十号五五－五六註参照。
