"The God indeed exists, Sir"








"The God indeed exists, Sir"

("Le Dieu existe en effet, monsieur.")





I stepped into a train.

There were a western father and an infant girl sitting on the seat. As the opposite side seat was almost occupied, I sat on their side over some space.

The western infant girl, however, spoke something as if she had been in bad mood missing her mother, since she spoke Japanese to herself and her father tried to soothe her with Japanese and English.

Then I faced a strange man with a big suit bag, who didn’t look like somebody that earned money the way ordinary citizens did though he put on reasonable clothes to look like an innocent citizen.

The man looked like being impressed by a western infant girl speaking Japanese to herself and her western father who spoke ambiguous Japanese and honest English.

After having passed a few stations, there came a relatively young man well tanned who looked like having spent a night or two on the street as a temporary homeless though his hair was cut short and nice and he put on reasonable clothes to look like an innocent citizen.

He walked in front of me and took a seat between middle aged women sitting in a row facing the western partial family and me.

Now all the space on the seats of both the sides of the train car was occupied.

Then the well-tanned, temporary homeless man started speaking in a large voice, though not shouting, “I have found that the God indeed exists, sir. I have found that the God truly exists, sir. No, no! He might not exist.”

Everybody in the train car, except the western father, pretended as if having heard nothing, while the relatively young temporary homeless was speaking to somebody standing before him that was however unseen to everybody, probably.

He continued to speak, “You would become a mummy while you are on the train.” Then he giggled at his own joke, just looking at me sitting silently on the opposite row.

Then, the well-tanned, temporary homeless man spoke to the western father over somebody unseen, “I have found that the God indeed exists, sir. I have found that the God truly exists, sir. No, no! He might not exist.”

The western infant girl grumbled in Japanese.

The strange man with a big suit bag facing me over the aisle silently stood up and walked to the door while the train was running toward the center of Tokyo.

A few minutes later I also decided to leave the seat and got close to another door to get a view outside more clearly through a large window on the train door.

Then I moved to the opposite door to get other view on the opposite side of the railway. But, the strange man with a big suit bag was still standing there.

At the next station or so, he got off the train. I also looked around to see the well-tanned, temporary homeless man to find him nowhere.

Then I heard the western infant girl speaking Japanese to herself cheerfully; probably she must have spoken with her mother through a cellular phone her father had.

I was standing and watching the scenery out of the door-window of a train running into the center of Tokyo on one cold day in winter.

I got off the train, leaving other passengers, since I found that I was not going further on the day.

The train advanced to the center of Tokyo, leaving me alone on a highly raised concrete platform being blown by a cold wintry wind that made even Mt. Fuji so far looking cloudy and dimm.


(So, now you know words of an Angel can be heard, if not finding them on the subway wall in New York, in some train around Tokyo, though not so apocalyptic due to my personality.

And, you will also play a role in that sometime soon, Mlles.)



Rev 8:12 And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.

Rev 9:1 And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit.

Rev 9:2 And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit.

Rev 10:1 And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud: and a rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire:

Rev 10:2 And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,

Rev 11:19 And the temple of God was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament: and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and an earthquake, and great hail.
