13:50 It is My most sincere desire to settle the jostling for power among people in high positions. If only this fighting comes to be settled, peace will come to this world. It is but My wholehearted wish for eternal peace to come to this world. *Note: As a historical fact, there was a great amount of unrest at the time during Japan’s modernization as represented by the Satsuma Rebellion. By way of this example, it was shown that it was Oyagami’s ideal to provide the protection to bring true peace.

『おふでさき註釈』、p. 204–5 五〇、親神は、真実心の底から、上流の人々の権威の争いを治めたいと思っているのであって、これさえ治まったならば、世の中が平和になる。世界に永遠の平和の来る事こそ、親神の心からの念願である。 註　史実としては、当時は西南の役などの事があって、物情騒然たるものがあった。これを一例として、親神様の御理想と御守護は真の平和にある事を、お示しなったものである。
