"The Eye of a Needle"






Martyrdom or Death Surrounded by Families


If you meet 100 ordinary people, you may still assume 3% of them is exceptional in the situation, 7% of them is highly troubled or confused, but 90% of them can be comparatively categorized into well known types, say, specified in your manual at hand or in the brain.

So, among 100 persons you are going to be consulted by or deal with, 90% of them will not be dangerous to you or you are not dangerous to them.

Therefore, logically and moralistically you have to put a higher priority to the 10% people out of the norm if looking inconspicuous.

It is because it is the most exceptional, troubled, or confused people that Jesus Christ tried to help and save. And, most of them are usually poor, very poor, or super-poor.

If you made a TV or movie appearance, you have to expect that composition of your audience is as such.


SECTION I: Tomb of the Family of "Jesus of Jerusalem"

You might see a Discovery TV program in 2007 reporting the discovery of the possible tomb of Jesus Christ and His family in the southern area of Jerusalem.

----------
The Lost Tomb of Jesus

In 1980 a tomb was found in south Jerusalem that had ten ossuaries in it. It was one of hundreds of tombs that have been uncovered since the 1970s. Yet only now has it been identified as the Jesus tomb.

Of all the thousands of ossuaries pulled from those tombs, only about 20% bear inscriptions. In the case of the Talpiot tomb, six of them—60%--had inscriptions. This was an elite family. Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, even Latin, were all represented in the burial cave.

Every inscription has been corroborated by the world’s leading scholars in the field, including professors Amos Kloner, Tal Ilan, Frank Moore Cross and the legendary L.Y. Rahmani. The inscriptions appear in Rahmani’s A Catalogue of Jewish Ossuaries in the Collection of the State of Israel published by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

And every inscription bears a relationship to the Gospels. While the names themselves range from the most common to the fairly rare, it is the cluster of names that is unique.

The first inscription, written in Aramaic (an ancient dialect of Hebrew), states: "Yeshua bar Yosef." Translated, it reads "Jesus son of Joseph." This is very rare. Out of all the inscriptions catalogued, only one other "Jesus, son of Joseph" inscription has ever been uncovered.

However academically it is denied.

In religious terms, it is close to a blasphemy.

But, it is definitely a miracle.

So, check the ossuaries and hear what experts say if you do not have the book, The Lost Tomb of Jesus.

SECTION II: Implication

In 1979 the Soviet Union decided to send troops into Afghanistan, resulting in 10-years' war.

In 1980, Iraq and Iran started to exchange fires, resulting in an almost 10-years' war.

In Japan, Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, a Christian politician, fell to serious illness during a general election campaign, and died within two weeks, while still being in prime ministership, a very rare and drastic incident in the history of Japan.

And then in the same year 1980, the so-called ossuary of Jesus, son of Joseph, was uncovered in the southern part of Jerusalem, though it was 2007 that the fact was widely known to to the world owning to hard work by some people concerned.

It is as if it had taken 27 years since His birth for Jesus Christ to get prepared for His mission, since 2007 - 1980 = 27, holily.


SECTION III: THE VATICAN

I think there is a chance that true relics of Jesus Christ should be excavated in Palestine sometime soon.

The Israeli Government would probably interfere with how to handle them, since such a discovery would affect the relationship between Israelis and American Judaists and American Christians in an unpredictable manner.

So, I have been requesting the Pope to go back to Jerusalem and stay there as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

The Pope must be the first person to confirm and protect such relics in Israel, since Christianity started around Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

Just like today, Israelis thought that money would protect them from any danger.

But, Jesus Christ denied it with holy authority.

Indeed, if you want to protect your one million dollars completely, you need one million more dollars.

To protect your two million dollars completely, you need eight million more dollars.

To protect your 10 million dollars completely, you need 100 million more dollars.

And in all this process, you cannot protect yourself from any significant danger at all, though you may happen to be safe until the last day of your rich life, which might happen to be death in bed surrounded by families.




Mar 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Mar 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.
