One day in 1945, less than one year after Tenmei received Hitsuki Shinji for the first time (Tenmei was looking after Hachiman-jinja Shrine in Sendagaya, Tokyo, as a temporary Shinto priest as mentioned above), when he was sitting down in front of the altar, he heard the notice of the holy spirit 'Tenmei, leave here' everyday over a three-day period.
天明に日月神示が降り始めてから、まだ1年も経たない昭和20年のある日に（天明はこの頃は上記した東京、千駄ヶ谷の八幡神社で留守神主をしていた）、神前に座ると神霊の「天明、此所をやめい」と言うお告げが有り、これはそれから3日間にわたって連日続いたという。
