Warnings in the Bible and by Japanese Spiritualism Researchers

What does the Bible say about the last days of this world, the human world, or the current material civilization?

2 Timothy 3, Good News Translation
The Last Days
3 Remember that there will be difficult times in the last days. 2 People will be selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited; they will be insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious; 3 they will be unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; they will hate the good; 4 they will be treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; they will love pleasure rather than God; 5 they will hold to the outward form of our religion, but reject its real power. Keep away from such people. 6 Some of them go into people's houses and gain control over weak women who are burdened by the guilt of their sins and driven by all kinds of desires, 7 women who are always trying to learn but who can never come to know the truth. 8 As Jannes and Jambres were opposed to Moses, so also these people are opposed to the truth—people whose minds do not function and who are failures in the faith. 9 But they will not get very far, because everyone will see how stupid they are. That is just what happened to Jannes and Jambres.

Indeed, in the world of today, there are full of people who are selfish, greedy, boastful, and conceited in addition to being insulting, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, and irreligious and also unkind, merciless, slanderers, violent, and fierce; and who hate the good; are treacherous, reckless, and swollen with pride; and love pleasure rather than God.

So, it is no wonder that the Last Days are coming in the early 21st century.  Indeed, seers of Mary's apparitions since the 20th century have witnessed that Mother Mary appeared to them, issuing a warning that the end of time would come soon.  

On the other hand, the two prominent Japanese pursuers of spiritualism, Nobuo Shioya (1902-2009) and Kazumi Masaki (1916-2002), also received from spirits warnings about the trying time to come soon to the human civilization.  There are many Japanese psychics, but Shioya and Masaki can be trusted as they not only studied supernatural phenomena and psychic phenomena but also showed concerns about future of the mankind.  Shioya, who was a physician, and Masaki, who was a doctor in engineering, thought that our material civilization was wrong as it was contaminating and abusing the nature so much, although they were not Christians.

Shioya got a message from his angel in about 1950 that the mankind would face a severe test in 2010 and afterwards.  Masaki got a message even from a UFO in the late 20th century that the world population would reduce to one hundredth of a current level in 250 years, although it will be recovered to the the current level of billions in about more than 10,000 years.      

Put simply, as men have become so rotten, debased, and brainwashed by Satan, the God would punish them so severely as to destroy their material civilization in the 21st century.  It might come through WWIII as warned by Mother Mary.  In this context, the current war between Ukraine backed by NATO, the U.S., etc. and Russia supported by China, etc. should be focused on.

Anyway, after 2,000 years of the coming of Christ Jesus to the human world, we are still brainwashed by Satan whose another form is money used to allure us to sell our souls to it against the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus.  Indeed, it is time for the God to do something on the human beings in order to show his anger, authority, and power.  It is horrible when thinking about how much we have provoked the God, Christ Jesus, and Mother Mary in these 2,000 years.

John 9, King James Version
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind.
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.

"Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this?" - Listen to Children and Those without High Incomes and Education

 Listen to Children and Those without High Incomes and Education

According to a survey conducted in the U.S. in 1980s, Americans who believed in existence of the afterlife accounted for 67% (68% in the 21st century) of all.  And, those who believed in existence of the hells accounted for 53% and those who believed in existence of Heaven accounted for 71%.   

Females who believed in existence of the hells or Heaven were more than males who believed so by 5 to 10 percentage.

But, more strikingly impressive is that those with low incomes and low education believed in existence of the hells or Heaven more than those with higher incomes and higher education.

This fact seems to corroborate the word of Christ Jesus:

Matthew 18

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 

Indeed, children have low incomes and low education.

First of all, this world is dominated by Satan.  People who want to be materially rich and happy think they need money, so that they want more money which is another form of Satan.  As a result, people would do anything to get more money, even selling their souls to Satan.  They would come to think little of the afterlife.  And, those with high incomes and high education should be busy in thinking about how to make and spend more money.  They would have little interest in thinking about the afterlife, the hells, and Heaven, which was indicated in the survey.

  

When one is very young, one might be able to show his or her spiritual power.  Some young children with the ability to see spirits around others would often lose the ability as they grow older.  When a young child who can communicate with a sprit of a plant would lose such ability as others around criticize him or her as a liar.  Conventional wisdom spoils them.  They will be brainwashed by conventional commonsense.  They will be attracted by material wealth more and more.  Finally, they will lose spiritual power when they have become adults. 

It is also well known that children who had memory of their previous lives when they were little children would often forget the memory as they grow older.    

In other words, we should not neglect what was alleged by children and those without high incomes and education.  And, they usually believe spirits and existence of the hells and Heaven.

But, when one gets money, high status in the society, social power, material happiness, etc., he or she will be brainwashed by money and Satan, so that they will not believe existence of Heaven where only poor men are accepted and existence of the hells where rich men are punished.  Rather, we should listen to children and those without high incomes and education, since they honestly and simply accept Christ Jesus.

Matthew 9, King James Version

27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
