Kings and Emperor in Japan

Kings and Emperor in Japan

BBC has reported something about a "King" coming to Japan again.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/6183755.stm)

There have been no kings in Japan since the early sixth century when some Japanese chieftains sent envoys to then superpower China for authorization for the King of Japan (then called "Wa").

Those chieftains are historically regarded as ancestors of the Imperial Family of Japan that has been enjoying its unbroken line since then to date.

There are two different Japanese expressions that are translated into the single expression emperor.

Japanese Emperor is called "Ten-nou (or Ten-no)," but all the other emperors, such as the Roman Emperor, in the world are called "Kou-tei (or Ko-tei)" in Japanese.

Meaning of Kanji letters used for each is not so different.

The key to understanding this arrangement lies in relationships between ancient China and Japan.

There are 30,000 Shinto shrines in Japan; and the religion of the Imperial Family of Japan is also a Shinto. Shinto could give deity to any deceased, including fallen soldiers.

January 1 is the day for Shinto: the most special day in Japan.



"AT ONCE THEY WERE ABLE TO SEE"

6.5 Million Churches in the World

6.5 Million Churches in the World


According to various sources, the number of Christian churches in Japan is about 8,000.

(They say that there are 100 times more churches in South Korean than in Japan, which is however a little doubtful though South Korea is abundant in religious businesses including criminal ones.)

It is also reported that there are 350,000 churches in the U.S., while there are 6.5 million churches in the world.

I suppose if Jesus Christ is in a certain church people would naturally go there to worship him.

However, everybody knows it is not the fact.

A place where believers get together is called a church.

If two or more believers are in a certain place, it is called a church.

They will put the highest priority in praising the God in anything they do therein.

Such a place is a church.
+ + +

Call believers to your home, if you have a home, so as to make your home a church.

If you can, you will be a very successful person in this world, in a holy sense
+ + +

This evening I thought God would be merciful to show His miracle to me.

And, when I was walking among people, I really encountered a miracle in a personal sense.

Then, I am now writing this EEE-Report to the world to praise the God and Jesus Christ, the glory of which you are sharing with me this moment.

Gold bless this evening!

Other debt relieves are also under considerations in some countries including Saudi Arabia.

As for Japan, it has still put some planes of Air Self-Defense Force in operation in Iraq, though its ground troops were withdrawn this July after two and a half year's humanitarian-support operation.

The Iraq War cannot be a war of nobody else's but America's only.

If Americans think so, the outcome will someday prove that it is not so.

Even if the President of the U.S. thinks so, the outcome will someday prove that it is not so.
