"they should not depart from Jerusalem" - Seek the Kingdom of God but Not Money

Seek the Kingdom of God but Not Money

Without influence of Satan, this world should be far better than today it is.

Satan is trying to make people revere it as God.  For this purpose, it has brainwashed people so that they want money to be happy.  And, it has established a social system where people cannot get any money without showing respect to Satan.  Under this system, people attack others who do not show respect to Satan, as if they were attacking enemies of God, since those brainwashed by Satan or money regard Satan as God.     

That is why Christ Jesus did not earn money or provide money to help poor people.  Christ Jesus did not say to people that if they wanted to be happy, they should earn much money.  Indeed, from the beginning, the Bible does not say that the God created money to make people happy.  Rather, the Gospels say that people should choose God but not money.  Christ Jesus said that rich men with much money would not be able to enter into Heaven.

However, today money has become a global religion.  Everybody wants and seeks money no matter what evil things they have to do to get money.  Indeed, everybody tries or implies to show how much they love Satan when they want to gain the goodwill from customers, business partners, seniors, bosses, etc.  They want to strengthen friendship with others by trying to share their respect to Satan or money with others.  Indeed, it is the Kingdom of Satan.  However, people must want and seek love to enter into the Kingdom of the God as Christ Jesus said. 

The key issue is that everybody will compromise internal conflicts between good and evil so that they will neglect good and prefer evil over love and justice to get any money.  This is the situation that Satan wants.  Rich men would simply neglect poor neighbors.  Big and rich enterprises would simply neglect poor people in the world.  Rich winners or successful people would simply neglect the poor, the weak, the non-smart, etc.  And happy people simply neglect unhappy neighbors or unhappy people in other areas and countries shown in TV or the Internet.  This is completely opposite to the teaching of Christ Jesus.    

To abandon money in solving any problems, including poverty, but rely on love to the God and Christ Jesus is the right way.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said: But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6).     

Therefore, being rich is evil.  Maintaining riches means accepting and promoting evil.  Continuing to be rich means continuing to neglect the poor and turn one's back to teachings of Christ Jesus.  But, if we seek the Kingdom of God, all necessary for us will be given by the God as Christ Jesus said:
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 
(Matthew 6)

Acts 1, King James Version

1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom he had chosen:
3 To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
