"the first took a wife, and dying left no seed" - The Kingdom of God vs. The Hell




North of Tokyo

The Kingdom of God vs. The Hell

Why are people afraid of poverty?  It is because the society would not protect and help them if they have no money.  How can a man live in safety without money if he is not Christ Jesus?

If people around us are all kind and helpful and are ready for helping the poor, we would not be afraid of being poor.   In reality, we are in the society with many people who are cold and ready for abusing the poor.  So, without money we cannot protect ourselves.  It is natural for us to get money and assets to the degree where we can at least protect ourselves.

However, Christ Jesus never said to get money and be happy without minding others and the poor.

Conversely, it is assumed that the Kingdom of God is filled with kind, generous, and benevolent people.  Even if we lose money and get poor, there should be no reason for us to be afraid of getting poor and getting attacked by others in the Kingdom of God.

In reality, we are afraid of being poor as the society is cold.  Therefore we have to earn money as much as necessary.  But, at this point, Satan works on us.  Satan would promise us to help us earn money only if we revere him.

The cold society, cold people, and Satan are making people want money.  But, the Kingdom of God makes money useless.

Satan hates people so that he helps people earn money and get cold to one another and finally he helps people hate one another.  If everybody follows Satan, this world would surely turn to the hell.  Therefore, Christ Jesus said to hate money and love the God.

In this context, homeless people are near the Kingdom of God, although they symbolize the coldness of the society.  The more you have money, the more you are far from the Kingdom of God that is opposite to the hell.

M'r:12:20: Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.
M'r:12:21: And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.
M'r:12:22: And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.
M'r:12:23: In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.
M'r:12:24: And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
M'r:12:25: For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
