Divinely Sent to Talk about Emancipation
First, let's check Monday morning news in Japan:
1) This morning's newspaper in Japan reports that Mr. Shintaro Ishihara has won the Tokyo Governorship Election with 2.8 million votes garnered anyhow.
(A candidate from the Japan's Communist Party got 0.6 million votes.)
2) This morning a certain Japan's newspaper, The Mainichi Shimbun, reports on a Harvard University professor, Mr. Theodore Bestor, who frequently visits Japan and especially studies TSUKIJI, a gigantic wholesale fish market in Tokyo.
One of his big discoveries was that Japan has had a well defined and maintained unique capitalism economic system since the Edo Period under the Tokugawa samurai regime from the early 17th century to the late 19th century.
3) The newspaper reports that now the number one investor in Vietnam is Japan followed by Korea and Taiwan.
4) The newspaper reports that certain local Buddhist temples celebrated the birthday of Buddha, who was born 500 B.C., as their religious practice.

In 1848, Karl Marx issued the Manifesto of Communist Party.
In 1858, Britain started direct administration and management in India to terminate the Mogul Empire, established in North India by descendants of the Mongolian Empire in 1526.
In 1858, Japan's samurai regime entered into a treaty with the U.S. and four European countries, opening the nation to the world for the first time since 1639.
In 1861, the Civil War erupted in America over divine justice on slavery just after Abraham Lincoln was elected President.

It is as if when glory of the Mongolian Empire had been relayed to Japan to secure it from the European Power, America started to get prepared to encounter it by putting an end, though through naked violence, to its national blasphemy called "slavery" or "slave-labor plantation."

We even today see, in Japan, samurai-nationalism, internationalism, communism, Buddhism, and unique capitalism, all well preserved.
(Remeber that a samurai is also a bureaucrat, a diplomat, a scholar, a religious man, and an economist unlike traditions of worriors in Korea, China, and Europe. He can be a cameraman even today.)
No one reports, however, on a sincere study now humbly being carried out in Japan on the sacred history of mankind, which must be also part of the Divine Design according to which you should also live, die, and be judged by the God Almighty.
(All right, pastors, rabbis, Muslims, and folks, from Monday on, let's behave like mankind living in the holy context.)
"...I, the LORD, the God of their Ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Have Sent You to Them..."
