"it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet" - The Corona-Pandemic will End in 2024 according to Revelation

The Corona-Pandemic will End in 2024 according to Revelation

Now, it is 2,000 years after the first appearance of Christ Jesus as everybody knows.  We should be glad that the human history has come into the 21st century, although past Christians thought that the end of the world should come while they were living.

So, to show respect to past Christians, we had better check Revelation of the Bible, especially in the Section 21: 

Revelation 21, King James Version
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

So, it can be assumed that the current corona-pandemic will end in 2024, since 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

There are many psychics or persons with the spiritual ability to invoke spirits in the spirit world and get information from them, which is usually hidden from human beings.  From a scientific point of view, there must be no difference between claiming that a prediction about future has been obtained from spirits coming from the spirit world and believing that it has been derived from a sixth sense while studying the Bible. 

Issac Newton wrote a prediction that the start of the end of the world would begin around 2060 after his study on the Bible.  Without an angel or a spirit telling a prediction about future, we may find a prediction through our sixth sense or religious sense while we are reading the Bible.

Indeed, it was 2,000 years from Abraham to Christ Jesus; and it is another 2,000 years from Christ Jesus to the 21st century.  So, the Bible should present some predictions on the 21st century.

At around AD 1, people must have been very spiritual or spirit-oriented, so that they understood the words of Christ Jesus from more spiritual points of view than in the current era.  And, from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, modern spiritualism was actively pursued, which should lead to works on death and the spirit world by Raymond A. Moody Jr., M.D., Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, M.D., etc.

From a long-term historical point of view, it seems that the God made human beings prepared for the coming of the third millennium.  Even, it seems that Christ Jesus chose Swedenborg for the mission to tell truth about the spirit world and the afterlife in the 18th century in the era of Newton.

Therefore, you should not simply laugh at a prediction about future made by a Bible reader based on his humble study, since Christ Jesus always chooses humble ones or those with poor minds as in the case of the miracle and prediction in Fatima.

By the way, the above sentences of Revelation can be read as predicting the situations of the 2028 US Presidential Election, meaning the next to the next Presidential Election is more critical for the human world.

Matthew 1, King James Version
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven" - Great Faith Can Trigger Volcanos into Eruption

Great Faith Can Trigger Volcanos into Eruption

One of the most difficult part to believe in the Gospels or the words of Christ Jesus is His declaration that one can move even a mountain if he has enough faith: 

23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. (Mark 11)

We may believe that Christ Jesus performed miracles such as turning water into wine, but it is very difficult to believe that we can move a mountain by simply telling the mountain to move.  However, it must be true as Christ Jesus never lied.  

According to Swedenborg, good spirits in Heaven or the spirit world have power to destroy a big mountain in the spirit world, and thus evil spirits in the hells cannot invade Heaven.  Therefore, it can be assumed that Christ Jesus referred to this power of good spirits in the spirit world.  And, more than that, Christ Jesus must have implied that human beings living in this world or the human world can have such power if only they have enough faith needed to be a kind of good spirits.  Therefore, this word of Christ Jesus must be understood from this spiritual point of view.

In the era of Moses, Jewish people were guided by some flames of a volcano through the deserts after exit from Egypt till they reached Palestine.  Some faithful man among them or Moses must have moved the volcano so that it erupted.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, when the Jewish-Roman War had already ended with fall of the temple in Jerusalem and Christians were being persecuted in Rome, must have been caused by prayer of some early Christians in Rome who remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus.  

Moving a mountain can be realized when a volcano erupts.  As another example, 40 years from death of Swedenborg, 20 years after the French Revolution, 55 years before the Civil War in the U.S., the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora occurred as the largest volcanic eruption in the human history.  Some Christians in Europe and the U.S. must have remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus, because books of Swedenborg came to be widely known, Europeans came to ask the God for peace, and Lincoln was a believer of Swedenborg.

In January 2022, an underground volcano in Tonga in South Pacific Ocean has erupted in the middle of the corona-pandemic.  Some Christians in the countries facing the Pacific Ocean must remember the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus.    

Indeed, we should note that we can move a mountain and cause other supernatural events with enough faith in Christ Jesus and the God, because if we have strong faith, we can be given the power of good spirits in the spirit world who have supernatural power.

Therefore, we might as well assume that some faithful Christians have remembered the word of Christ Jesus to test their faith in Christ Jesus when a great natural event happens.  In deed, three years before Pope Benedictus XVI resigned from office, Mt. Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland erupted, causing enormous disruption to air travel across northern and western Europe in 2010.

In this context, with great faith in Christ Jesus and the God, we may be given power to realize whatever we wish like a holy spirit, an angel, or a good spirit in Heaven or the spirit world can.  And, believing in this theological theory should be our faith.  It must also mean that a man in this world with greater faith can become a kind of spirit in the spirt world (like Christ Jesus as a man of 2000 years ago).

Romans 1, King James Version

16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

"of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace" - The God is the Spirit and Man has a Spirit but Man is Not a God

The God is the Spirit and Man has a Spirit but Man is Not a God

According to Christ Jesus, the God is spirit, and thus we have to pray to the God in our spirit.

24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4)

Christ Jesus made it clear that spirits exist, the spirit world, exits, the God exists, and there is a spirit in every human being.

Therefore, it is no wonder that men with near-death experiences saw part of the spirt world, and some people have spiritual power to see sprits, invoke spirits, or communicate with spirits of the deceased.   

However, some psychologists claim that there are no scientific evidence that spirits and the afterlife exist.  They also argue that the so-called spiritual phenomena reflect simply the human hopes and wishes that there is the afterlife and souls will continue to exist after bodily death in this world; the so-called spiritual experiences must be influences and effects of deep psyche.  

Indeed, in this era with advance science and technology, we cannot still get scientific evidence of existence of souls, spirits, the spirit world, and even the existence of the God.  However, even in this era with advance science and technology, Christianity and other religions are not likely to be abolished simply because religions are superstition generated when the level of the human civilization was low and the human culture was immature.  Rather, the number of those who have reported near-death experiences and come to believe the existence of the spirit world is hundreds of thousands all over the world.       

What's more, even the modern science can only tell that this whole universe or this world was generated from a type of energy called the vacuum energy and this energy might appear from naught.  Science cannot deny the possibility or the hypothesis that energy from the spirit world generated the vacuum energy and this whole universe through naught.  Science cannot deny the existence of the God.  If it did, it should be like a child denying the existence of his or her parents.

And, if our human minds work humanly, it must be that there is a soul or a spirit in every human being.  So, it is absurd that our minds deny the existence of our souls or spirits.  It is as if a mad man tried to prove that there was no such a thing as life so that he believed that he was a dead man.       

There must be a reason that there is the concept of the afterlife in any culture of human beings.  The reason must be that it is true.  In this context, we should believe the word and other words of Christ Jesus.

The God is the spirit.  And, we have a spirit in each of ourselves, which however does not mean that everyone is a god; we are just human beings with spirits inside but we are not gods.   

So, we must be cautious about men, even if they have some spiritual power, who claim that each of us is a god.  Truly, it must be a blasphemy.

John 1, King James Version

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
