Discussion about Descent from Heaven

Gospel of Heaven written and spoken by Mokichi Okada Part 2: Teachings in 1935~3 February 1950 It says that Second Coming of Christ or Advent of the Messiah.

The Truth of Life

Gospel of Heaven written and spoken by Mokichi Okada Part 2: Teachings in 1935~3 February 1950 Everyone knows that soul is the origin of life. Then what is life? Life means that God gives an order to human beings. Japanese kanji character “生” represents God and depicts God sitting and giving an order with His right hand. When receiving His order, human beings are born in this world. They work to carry out His order. Their activity is carried out through their souls.
