To Survive Another 1300 Years Again
Christ Jesus sometimes directly talked about spirits, which means that He saw a spirit or a soul in each man. However, some of these words are difficult to comprehend.
Luke 11, King James Version
24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.
25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.
It should be possibly interpreted in historical context.
For exaｍple, in the late 18th century, the Unites States got successfully independence and France underwent the French Revolution. Democracy was expanding in America and Europe. Old unclean spirits working in the world before the Industrial Revolution were gone. But, along with modernization of the world, WWI occurred in the early 20th century, leaving deaths and demolition of the civilization in the scale that had never been seen. After WWI, the League of Nations was established for international peace and social policies were promoted in each country to save laborers. Old unclean spirits working in the world, or especially in Europe still under imperialism were gone. But, along with further development of industry and science, WWII occurred in the middle of the 20th century, leaving deaths and demolition of the civilization in the scale that had never been seen. Old unclean spirits working in Africa and Asia under colonialism and in Europe under anti-Semitism were gone.
We had better think about the possibility of WWIII now that further development of science and technology since WWII is so clear as seen especially in the authoritarian state China with the population of 1.4 billion.
From the beginning, in the 1st century, Christ Jesus first came to this world, spreading right faith and belief in the God. However, after the crucifixion of Christ Jesus, the Jewish-Roman War occurred with the result of diaspora of Jewish people from Palestine. Yet, in the late 4th century, the Roman Empire adopted Christianity as its state religion. Nonetheless, the the Roman Empire fell in the late 5th century. And, 1300 years later, finally the Unites States won successfully independence and France accomplished the French Revolution.
Indeed, if we can avoid the Third World War in the near future, the mankind might survive another 1300 years. This century, the 21st century, must be critical for the human history. All we have to do is to read the Bible and try to correctly comprehend the true or spiritual meaning of the words of Christ Jesus.
Luke 12, King James Version
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
