Great Construction
Church of World Messianity’s Creed
We believe that the Creator, Jehovah, has since the very beginning promoted the economy to build on this earth, a paradise. For this purpose human beings have been designated as agents of God and God created everything on earth for the use of human beings.
We believe that all of human history until the present has been nothing other than the groundwork for construction in order to establish this paradise on earth. Therefore, God has made to appear on earth in each age the necessary people and the necessary religions to carry out this mission.
We believe that nowadays with the world in a state of unbridled confusion, the Creator has bestowed upon the spiritual leader Mokichi Okada the great task of world salvation in order to accomplish the sacred work of the salvation of humanity. We look forward to promotion and development toward the goal of the complete eradication of the three great calamities of humanity, disease, poverty, conflict and the creation of an ideal world of eternal peace permeated with truth, virtue, beauty.
