"between some of John's disciples and the Jews" - Seasons


Around Tokyo Station


Seasons

The winter is going to end.

The human civilization started in sub-tropical regions, such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Greece, the Chang Jiang River region of south China, and other regions without cold winter.

But it was extended and deployed in temperate zones, such as the Italian Peninsula, the central China, etc.  Then the Industrial Revolution was set off in England, part of north Europe.

Judaists moved on the earth along with progress and development of civilization.  They reached and prevailed around Germany before WWII, and then a great tragedy happened due to Hitler and Nazis.

Then after WWII, roughly a half of Judaists returned to Palestine featured by a temperate climate while another half immigrated into North America which has wider areas covering the tropical zone to the cold zone.

So, if this progress of the human history is so reasonable even from a viewpoint of Judaists like shifts of seasons on the earth, Israel seems to be a kind of the Old Testament for Judaists living today, and the US seems to be a kind of the New Testament for them.

In future, American Christianity might be integrated into American Judaism eventually.  And Americans might move from a zone to other, according to their spiritual states as if repeating the past history.

Now the time in the North Hemisphere is going to head for the hottest days in August.

Joh 3:25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
Joh 3:26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
Joh 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Joh 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
