"Thy Faith Hath Made Thee Whole"



(Government Office Area, Tokyo; Can be enlarged.)


From this Monday to Wednesday inclusively, Japanese business is off due to three consecutive public holidays.

Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama is going to fly to New York and Pittsburgh to address the world in the U.N. assembly, have a talk with President Mr. Barack Obama, and discuss the global economy at G20 Summit.

Yet, Foreign Minister Mr. Katsuya Okaga, on a TV interview, made it clear that troops of Japan's Ground Self-Defense Force will not be sent to Afghanistan even after Japan terminates, early next year, its support for America on the Indian Ocean with free provision of fuels for allied naval ships. F.M. Mr. OKada is also flying to the U.S. to meet Secretary Mrs. Hillary Clinton, etc.

Anyway, the approval rating for the Hatoyama-Okada line is very high among Japanese voters as was proved in the 8/30/2009 election.

(The key issue is whether or how P.M. Mr. Hatoyama and F.M. Mr. Okada understand the need of U.S. military presence in East Asia in the current scale with so many bases in Japan, especially in Okinawa, while China is willing to be a militarily dominant power and concurrently secure its position as a kind of friendly nation to the U.S.)



SECTION I: Religion of Native Americans and Hispanics

It is somehow well known in Japan that the Hopi, one of native American tribes, have a unique prophecy:
----------
Hopi Elders pass warnings and prophecies from generation to generation
through oral traditions and reference to ancient rock pictographs and tablets.

Hopi Blue Star or Blue Kachina Prophecy

An ancient Hopi Indian prophecy states, "When the Blue Star Kachina makes its appearance in the heavens, the Fifth World will emerge". This will be the Day of Purification. The Hopi name for the star Sirius is Blue Star Kachina. It will come when the Saquasohuh (Blue Star) Kachina dances in the plaza and removes his mask.

...
The Hopi settled in the area now known as Four Corners, where the state lines of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado meet. They lived in humble simplicity and the land produced abundant crops. This area is the "heart" of Turtle Island [the U.S.] and of Mother Earth, and it is the microcosmic image of the macrocosm of the entire planet. Each Hopi clan perpetuates a unique ceremony, and the ceremonies together maintain the balance of natural forces of sunlight, rain and winds, and reaffirm the Hopi respect for all life and trust in the Great Spirit.

The Hopi were told that after a time White Men would come and take their land and try to lead the Hopi into evil ways. But in spite of all the pressures against them, the Hopi were told they must hold to their ancient religion and their land, though always without violence. If they succeeded, they were promised that their people and their land would be a center from which the True Spirit would be reawakened.

It is said that after many years the elder brother might change the color of his skin, but his hair will remain black. He will have the ability to write, and he will be the only person able to read the Tiponi. When he returns to find his younger brother, the Tiponi will be placed side by side to show all the world that they are true brothers. Then great judgment will take place, for the elder will help the younger brother to obtain real justice for all Indian brothers who have been cruelly mistreated by the white man since he came to Turtle Island.

----------

It is said that there were four million native North Americans when Europeans started to invade North America.

Today, there are 2,786,652 native Americans in the U.S., though as of 2003, most of whom do not look like being Christians.

On the other hand, it is estimated that there are about 45,270,000 Hispanic Americans plus about 10 million illegal Hispanics, most of whom look like being followers of the Vatican if nominal.

So, do you believe that European Christianity has been truly a universal religion?

Or, is that European Christianity more universal than money-based economy?

If it is not so as proven by native North Americans, anything terrible could happen on the American soil as prophesied in the Bible, though it might not imply the Blue Star Kachina.

The only chance for survival may be found when all the native Americans in the U.S. are fully persuaded to follow the teaching of Jesus Christ.

So, you go and preach among them. And why not?

Mat 9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:

Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.

Mat 9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
