"he said unto the sick of the palsy" - ATL Virus-Infected Japanese, Africans, etc.

ATL Virus-Infected Japanese, Africans, etc.

There is a rare cancer of the immune system's T-cells caused by human T cell leukemia/lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), which was discovered by a Japanese medical scientist, etc. in 1976.

HTLV-1 was the first human retrovirus discovered (1979). HTLV-1 predominantly affects T lymphocytes. HTLV retroviruses are RNA viruses that use an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to produce DNA from RNA.

(https://www.scorgloballifeamericas.com/en-us/knowledgecenter/human-t-lymphotropic-virus-type-1) 

It is known that there are specific areas in the world with many HTLV-1 infected people such as Japan, Central and South Americas, and Africa.  Therefore, this virus HTLV-1 (or the ATL virus) is regraded by some Japanese as one of key elements that would reveal the origin of the Japanese people who are originally different from Chinese and Koreans and other Asian people.  Indeed, it is estimated that there are about 800,000 Japanese infected by HTLV-1.

The above map shows how and when the mankind spread from Africa to Europe and Asia and further to Americas and Australia.

It tells that the mankind was established in the middle Africa 200,000 years ago; moved north to the Middle East and south to South Africa about 100,000 years ago; split between those going to the Wast (the Mediterranean) and the North and those going further east (through Iran) to the Chinese Continent and those going south to the Indian Sub-Continent between 50,000 to 70,000 years ago; reached Papua New Guinea and Australia 40,000 years ago, or arrived at North America between 12,000 years and 40,000 years ago and moved to South America 13,000 years ago.  And the areas circled in the map are those where the ATL viruses are found.

So, the areas where the ATL viruses are found are Central and West Africa, South India, Papua New Guinea, the Caribbean ocean area (due to forced immigration from Africa 600 years ago), the north of South America, and Japan.

It tells that original Japanese people who came to the Japanese archipelago when the Japanese islands were connected the Asian Continent 20,000 years ago were carrying the ATL viruses from Africa through generations from their ancestors who must have been part of the group of the mankind, including ancestors of original Papua New Guinea and Australia people and American Indians.

However, currently no other East Asians, such as Chinese and Koreans, do not carry this trait as so many tribes came and occupied the Chinese continent and surrounding areas.  Only part of Japanese, in East Asia, still keep this trait that must have been generated in Africa between 100,000 years and 200,000 years ago.   

In other words, there is a strong possibility that ancestors of Japanese, part of Hindus, American Indians, and original Papua New Guinea and Australia people once together left Africa and the Middle East, although fates of their descendants have varied so vastly.

In this context, we must think again that it is natural and reasonable that the Son of the God, Christ Jesus, appeared at the place, Palestine, where major groups of the mankind split between those who became later Europeans and Asians.

And, further in this context, Christ Jesus maybe was infected by ATL viruses.   

Other analysis of the effect of HTLV-1 viruses is as follows:

The lifetime risk of developing adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) has been estimated at 2%-6% among HTLV-1 carriers. The latency period is approximately 20 to 40 years after infection, with a slightly higher risk among HTLV-1 infected males.

(https://www.scorgloballifeamericas.com/en-us/knowledgecenter/human-t-lymphotropic-virus-type-1) 

Anyway, we should not pay little attention to viruses, since some viruses are deeply rooted in the bodies of some members of the mankind with long historical relationship.

And, of course, we should find the real infectious route of corona-viruses for future study of the relationship between viruses and men.

Luke 5 King James Version (KJV)
23 Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house.
25 And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God.

An Ashen Horse, Death, and Hades

Although this corona-virus pandemic does not immediately mean the end of the world, it might be a precursor to the end of the human civilization or such a great tragedy.  If this is such an event, the Bible should not be silent about it, since the Bible is a holy book.  Indeed, in the New Testament's final book, Revelation, we may find relevant descriptions:

In John's revelation, the first horseman is on a white horse, carrying a bow, and given a crown, riding forward as a figure of Conquest, perhaps invoking Pestilence, Christ, or the Antichrist. The second carries a sword and rides a red horse and is the creator of War. The third is a food merchant riding upon a black horse, symbolizing Famine. The fourth and final horse is pale green, and upon it rides Death accompanied by Hades. "They were given authority over a quarter of the earth, to kill with sword, famine, and plague, and by means of the beasts of the earth."
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse#/media/File:Apocalypse_vasnetsov.jpg

Especially the fourth rider takes attentions, since he is too pale and ominous and looks as if seized with an illness.

When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him. Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
— Revelation 6:7–8 NASB

If we believe this prophecy, one quarter of the mankind will be killed through natural disasters, wars, and pandemics in the near future since it has passed 2000 years since the first coming and ascension to Heaven of Christ Jesus in the first century.

Indeed, since the beginning of the 21st century, we have seen enough natural disasters (the wild famine) including global warming, wars (the sword) including the war on terror, and economic crises (the wild beasts) such as the global financial crises, but this corona-virus pandemic is the first case for the pestilence.

Now that we have observed all the four factors for the end of the world predicted in John's revelation, the history must be ready for entering the period for the real start of the end of the world as predicted also by Isaac Newton with his calculation of 2060 as the starting year toward the end of the world.

In this context, we are actually now observing an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Death; and Hades was following with him.

Mark 5 King James Version (KJV)
21 And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, much people gathered unto him: and he was nigh unto the sea.
22 And, behold, there cometh one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,
23 And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lieth at the point of death: I pray thee, come and lay thy hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

When the Human Civilization Collapses

The 1918 Spanish flu is said to have killed 17–50+ million people over the world in a few years after WWI.

After the Spanish flu, WWII occurred killing 50 to 80 million people.  In this context, the Spanish flu was an ill omen for WWII.

Then, what is the corona-pandemic an ill omen for?  Maye WWIII or something as horrible as possible WWIII.

In this context, it is notable that Isaac Newton predicted that the end of the world would start after 2060.  So then, the world must be accelerating its movement and trend toward the end of the world in the early 21st century, as we have now the corona-pandemic, the rise of authoritarian and anti-democratic China, the political mess and confusion around Trump in the U.S., the split of the UK from the EU, ever increasing militarism in Russia, and tenacious Islamic terrorists.

The corona-viruses are not going to exterminate the mankind.  But, something to occur after this pandemic might further increase its devastating power on the human civilization.

This pandemic will be ceased to spread within a year.  And, forgetting this fear, many people will start to live again, pursuing money and material desires and focusing on only economic issues.  And most of people will start to follow Satan, who use money as its tool to make men its slaves, neglecting the teaching of the God.  Then, naturally, the God will be angry and forsake the mankind.  And, finally, WWIII or something as horrible as WWIII will start to happen around 2060.

If all the people love money more than the God, follow Satan to be its slaves, and neglect the God, there will be no reason for the God to protect the mankind from any fatal tragedy.

It is not known how long the mankind can still survive in the case that the end of the world will start around 2060.  However, it seems to be impossible that the mankind will still keep its material civilization in the 30th century namely in 3000s.

In my estimation, robots will take over the world from the mankind and they will start to explore and rule other planets in this solar system, this Milky Galaxy and others galaxies.

They may survive based on inherited human wisdom till the end of the universe, but there will be no single human being at the time.

I hope that all believers will be given eternal life in Heaven or the spiritual world even when the human civilization collapses.

John 5 King James Version (KJV)
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.

"it giveth light unto all" - Mortality of Men even without Infection

 

Mt. Tsukuba and Paddy Fields, the North-East of Tokyo

Mortality of Men even without Infection

There is a key element called a telomere in human cells or on the DNA that decides the life span of each human being, since the human body is made of cells.

"A telomere is a region of repetitive nucleotide sequences at each end of a chromosome, which protects the end of the chromosome from deterioration or from fusion with neighboring chromosomes...
For vertebrates, the sequence of nucleotides in telomeres is AGGGTT, with the complementary DNA strand being TCCCAA, with a single-stranded TTAGGG overhang. This sequence of TTAGGG is repeated approximately 2,500 times in humans. In humans, average telomere length declines from about 11 kilobases at birt to fewer than 4 kilobases in old age, with the average rate of decline being greater in men than in women." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telomere)

https://www.news-medical.net/life-sciences/What-are-Telomeres.aspx

But how do telomeres decide the length of our life?

Recent research also points to what deterrmines our lifespan.  At birth, we have 10,000 base pairs of telomeres on the DNA in our cells.  By death we have around 5,000.  Hence we lose 50 base pairs a year. (https://books.google.co.jp/books?id=B4i1mSFCZn8C&pg=PT153&lpg=PT153&dq=telomere%E3%80%80%E3%80%80bases%E3%80%8010000%E3%80%80pairs&source=bl&ots=FlGKIFwrAQ&sig=ACfU3U3mWj99pr9LkWayfdBjiHbgVRi38g&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiRnM3zg7XpAhUwxosBHdotCFIQ6AEwDHoECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=telomere%E3%80%80%E3%80%80bases%E3%80%8010000%E3%80%80pairs&f=false)

So, as a man lives, his cells undergo cell division.  But at each cell division, its telomere becomes shorter, shortening remained lifespan.  And cell division can occur 50 times for each cell of a newborn baby.  Finally at age around 100 of a man, telomeres reach their limit, and accordingly human cells stop division, causing his death.   That is why there has been nobody who has ever lived more than 120 years or so.

But if there is no limit in telomeres, cells will be divided forever in uncounted times regardless defects caused in cells as time goes by.  Then, human beings with full of defectives cells, such as cancer cells, emerge.  It cannot be accepted for the nature.  A man should die before its cells start to totally malfunction.

As long as a man is made of cells, he cannot live forever even if advanced science can modify this mechanism based on telomeres.  So, men will finally adopt artificial and robotic bodies.  They may even transfer brain functions to electronics.  Then, we may say that the mankind has obtained eternal life.  In a million year before the lifespan as the human species comes to the end, human science may achieve this goal.  But, from the beginning, this universe itself has its fate; it cannot forever exist as it is today.  In the far future, it is thought that all the materials in this universe are disintegrated in the ever expanding universe to be nothing.  So, artificial and robotic men will also be disintegrated to nothing as long as they are made of materials.

So, to obtain eternal life, we have to enter the spiritual world, namely the Heaven ruled by the God who set the limit of lifespan of the mankind.  And, it is truly encouraging that Christ Jesus told that we could be allowed to enter Heaven and obtain eternal life through Him.

As for viruses, it seems that there is no sch a mechanism based on telomeres.  But, there must be another one to exterminate them, for example, by modifying some characteristics and functions of human cells.  If we can find it, there will be even no need, in a extreme case, for human beings to do away with biological bodies and adopt artificial and robotic bodies in order to avoid deadly damage from future more fatal viruses.

Anyway, this corona-pandemic reminds us of mortality of human beings, even without infection by corona-viruses, and should accelerate our faith in the God.

Matthew 5 King James Version (KJV)
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Nobody thinks that any single man has caused this corona-pandemic.  However, nobody also cannot deny that the God has allowed the pandemic to occur, since the God, who is the creator of this universe and the world, is almighty.

But why has the God allowed this pandemic to be set off and spread all over the world?  This is the most important issue of the world of today.

Put simply, the God is angry at the mankind, since there are too many bad people who don't follow the God.  There are parables in the Bible that a lord or a king got angry at his subjects and decided to exterminate them.

But there is also another description that Christ Jesus predicted that a fake-Christ would appear in this world, nations would rise against one another, natural disasters would happen, and believers in Him would be persecuted, but finally the Son of the God would come down from Heaven to rule the world:
Luke 21 King James Version (KJV)
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.
13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.
14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:
15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.
16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

So, we may think that any tragedies coming to fall in the world and on believers are precursors of the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.

It is noteworthy that these passages are in Chapter 21 of Luke.  It should suggest that these contents are related to the 21st century.  And, in deed, in 2011, a great earthquake and tsunami attacked Japan, which triggered the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident.  Also, truly, in 2020, armies of corona-viruses compassed great cities in the world.  We may think that these passages refer to the current era, namely years in the early 21st century.

So, believers of Christ Jesus should expect that the second coming of Christ Jesus is near, now that corona-virus pandemic has occurred in 2020.

In this context, Christ Jesus must come back to the human world in 2027, or something extraordinary must happen in 2027 after horrible preceding years when there will be signs in the sun, the moon, and stars around 2025.

Mark 5 King James Version (KJV)

13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.

14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.

15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.

17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.

Artificial and Robotic Men Taking Over a Million Years Later

There must be hundreds of scenarios about how the mankind will be exterminated, since first of all the mankind is living things to go extinct some day and not a kind of Angels that were given eternal life by the God, and every specie of living things on the earth has been exterminated for some reasons or others in millions of years after its establishment.  Indeed, there are no species of living things that have survived billions of years since the beginning of history of living things on the earth.  Truly, nobody thinks that the species of the mankind will survive forever.  Even this solar system will collapse in about 5 billion years.  So, there is no wonder if extermination of the mankind has really started with this 2020 corona-virus pandemic although the 1918 Spanish-Flu did not trigger it.

But material science and technology will be further accelerated, so that it will be possible to freely manipulate the biological aspect of a man.  DNAs and genes of a man will be engineered to prolong his life time at the maximum, although it is currently said that there is a limit of human life around 120 years due to the limit of survival capacity of each human cell.  The limit on life time of each cell in a man will be modified, so that it may be able to  undergo cell division in twice, 10 times, or million times the current number of times of about 60.  Then a man will be able to live for 200, 400, or 1,000 years.  All the old cells coming to the limit of survival may be replaced with new ones.

However, as long as a man is a human living thing, he should be subject to biological conditions.  In future, it must be necessary to abandon biological bodies to further increase men's life duration.  Because biological bodies can be sick or damaged physically or biologically due to viruses or bacteria.  So, men will adopt robotic bodies that are free from any biological illness and infection and that may even withstand radioactivity and food-supply crisis.   　

If all the other organs are replaced with artificial or robotic ones, one specific organ remains: the brain.  Most of brain cells constituting cerebral nerves are not reproduced, regenerated, or replaced.  Since the birth of a man, the amount of cerebral nerves is basically not changed.  But as time goes by, the number of connections (synapses) of each cerebral nerve increases, for example, from 04. trillion to 0.8 trillion in one month after the birth and to the highest of 2.4 trillion in eight months, and then decreases to 1.2 trillion in 10 years and finally is settled there.


The Trend of the Amount of Nerve Synapse in the Primary Visual Area of a Brain
(horizontal axis: years after birth; vertical axis: trillion connections)

https://anpanman.bandai.co.jp/column/babylabo/article1/

It must be difficult to realize this growth of the brain and its nerve cells.  And if artificial brain cells are created or robotic brain cells are built, it is another matter if these engineered brain cells and nerves work as those of a natural human being.  And if super-advanced technology allows structure of natural brain cells are copied into artificial brain cells, it is dubious that the copied brain can work as the original natural brain without a natural body.     

However, the mankind will solve this problem, taking thousands or millions of years.  And they will succeed to transfer a natural brain into an artificial brain.  Then, complete artificial men will be created by men.  But, there is no assurance that artificial men keep tradition of natural men.  Such an artificial man that has obtained almost undying body and brain may not need any legacy of the mankind.

Such men will stop keeping artificial human bodies that would restrict their ability of existence, movement, and wok.  They will cut off any brain functions related to human bodies to further develop their artificial brain.  So, it is unknown what forms they will take.  And, it is also unknown what society they will build collectively.

Maybe this new specie of artificial and robotic men may live as long as this universe exists.  But it is also unknown in what state this universe will fall finally.  When every material collapses and gets vanished in this universe after uncountable number of years, such artificial and robotic men should also disappear. 

Or will artificial and robotic men be able to govern the universe and change the law of the universe for them to survive forever, although it is not the business of the species of natural men, us?

Anyway, if the species of the mankind should disappear, say, for a maximum of  a million years, artificial and robotic men will take over with some memory and legacy of the mankind for some time.  But human believers of the God will be allowed to enter Heaven and obtain eternal life.  For them, anything material, including this material universe, will have no meaning.

And implanted minds of natural men into artificial and robotic men must also want to enter Heaven and get eternal life.

For Full Historical Symmetry

It is said that the JFK assassination in 1963 had changed the U.S. forever.  It is also said that the Vietnam War up to the early 1970s had changed the U.S. forever.  It is also said that the end of the Cold War in early 1990s had changed the U.S. forever.  It is also said that the 9/11 Terror in 2001 had changed the U.S. forever.  It is also said that the Financial Crisis and Obama's victory around 2008 had changed the U.S. forever.  And finally, the Trump administration established in 2017 seems to have changed the U.S. forever. Yet, the 2020 corona-virus pandemic is going to change the U.S. forever.

Maybe the first century in Palestine is taken as an analogy.  Around 60, the Jerusalem collapsed through the First Jewish-Roman war, and the Second Jewish-Roman war occurred around 131, and consequently the Jewish people were expelled completely from Jerusalem and Palestine, going into the Diaspora.  In this context, the 20th century should take the first century as an analogy.  And based on this analogy, we may expect that something decisive will happen around early 2030s.

This pandemic's influence on economy is said to exceed that in the 2008 Financial Crisis that allowed Obama to win the Presidential Election.  And it is expected that the globalization of economy will lose its momentum after this corona-virus pandemic, and the U.S. and the EU will take and main a sterner attitude to China that generated the pandemic, while China will promote its ambition to get hegemony over the world.

As Isaac Newton predicted, the world may go into the end of the world after 2060.  If so, this pandemic is the start of the beginning of the era toward the end of the world.  Or, maybe another pandemic or a similar event will occur around 2030.

From an individual point of view, there are too many unkind, bad, or evil people in this world.  Even the Pope does not look like a poor and powerful saint, although he wears rich clothes, lives in a rich palace, and eats delicious dishes.  Everybody seems to have sold its soul to Satan to earn money.  If these anti-Christ attitudes are the only result of the 2000-year history after the death of Christ Jesus, it is reasonable for the God to put an end to the civilization of the mankind by sending the Angel of Death to this human world.

But as the last warning, the God must use this pandemic.  From the Pope and Trump to a rich man in China, everybody enjoining its wealth should repent.   

Or the mankind will be expelled from this world like the Jewish people in Palestine around 130.  But there will be nobody who will take a part like the Roman Empire in the second century.

Yet, new Christianity may start to play the role of early Christianity in the 2nd century and later, as I have a feeling that the mankind may further survive another 500 years, since the Great Pyramid of Giza was built BC 2560, and full historical symmetry should be fulfilled.

”a certain man was there” - Natural Enemy against Viruses

Natural Enemy against Viruses

One influenza virus is increased to 100 viruses in 8 hours; 10,000 viruses in 16 hours, and one million in 24 hours.  However, their incubation period is one to seven days.

So then, what is the process of proliferation of viruses?:

Virus life cycle

Viruses consist of a genome and sometimes a few enzymes stored in a capsule made of protein (called a capsid), and sometimes covered with a lipid layer (sometimes called an 'envelope'). Viruses cannot reproduce on their own and instead propagate by subjugating a host cell to produce copies of themselves, thus producing the next generation.

Researchers working on such "rational drug design" strategies for developing antivirals have tried to attack viruses at every stage of their life cycles. Some species of mushrooms have been found to contain multiple antiviral chemicals with similar synergistic effects.^[6] Compounds isolated from fruiting bodies and filtrates of various mushrooms have broad-spectrum antiviral activities, but successful production and availability of such compounds as frontline antiviral is a long way away.^[7] Viral life cycles vary in their precise details depending on the type of virus, but they all share a general pattern:

1. Attachment to a host cell.
2. Release of viral genes and possibly enzymes into the host cell.
3. Replication of viral components using host-cell machinery.
4. Assembly of viral components into complete viral particles.
5. Release of viral particles to infect new host cells.

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiviral_drug#Immune_system_stimulation

Indeed, it is said that polysaccharides (beta‐glucan) in fungi enhance human immunity and have resistance against viruses or show antineoplastic effect.

For example, a mushroom, called Grifola frondosa, includes vitamin D that decreases the crisis rate of lungs inflammation and influenza.

Anyway viruses must have natural predators, although they are a different type of living things from eukaryotic species such as the human species having eukaryotic cells.  And their predators may find in plants such as fungi.  In tropical rain forests such as Amazon, there may be natural predators of viruses.

Or until such discovery, we had better take vitamin D supplements.

Yet, I recommend to read the Bible, praying in the mind that corona-viruses are killed in the body, so that the Angel of Death working under instruction of the God will pass over you.

The strongest natural enemy against viruses must be human cells intensified by the spirit sanctified by the Bible.  Indeed, Christian saints never die from viruses.

4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

One cell in the human body has the length of only one-tenth of 1 milli meter. But as there are about 50 trillion of human cells in one body, the total length of these cells, when they are aligned continuously, will be equivalent to 12.5 circles around the earth.

However, 2 raised to the 45th power power is about 35 trillion, and 2 raised to the 46th power is about 70 trillion.  Therefor to generate 50 trillion cells through cell division from one fertilized egg, only 46 times-divisions are needed.  And the limit of times of divisions of one cell is about 50, although there is no limit for a cancer cell.

The cell cycle time from the start to the end of a cell division of a man is about 12 hours or half a day.  So, 46-times divisions to make 50 trillion cells need just only 23 days.  However, it takes more time to arrange, organize, and make these cells function as a living thing, so that it needs more than 10 months for a human baby to be born from its mother.

It is a big surprise that every cell in 50 trillion cells in a human body has the same DNAs and genes.  And genes create various proteins that support functions of the body.  There are more than 100,000 types proteins in a human body.  (There are about 10 billion types of proteins in the nature.)

However, nobody believes that there are proteins, DNAs or genes that can produce a human mind or a human cell can have a mind.

So, it is thought that when human cells take certain structure, a mind is generated.  And this structure produces microscopic electromagnetic filed in the brain that works a kind of computers that is never powered off.  This  electromagnetic filed is the base of a mind where a soul coming from the spiritual world is received.  And then, a man is established with 50 trillion cells, a multitude of proteins, and a mind and a soul.

On the other hand, one virus taken into a human body is multiplied to a million in 24 hours.  If a man takes several viruses, they will be multiplied to tens of millions in a day, displaying symptoms.

However, viruses are foreign matters for a human body constructed with 50 trillion cells in a well organized manner.  Therefor, there must be a limit for proliferation of viruses in a human body.  They cannot live forever in a human body.  No matter how widely viruses spread in society, this complicated and well-organized human body will finally suppress viruses by immunity, etc., and then viruses will lose power for survival in a human body. 

The key is that human cells generate a mind that is linked with spirit.   Reversely, spirit must be able to wok on human cells through a mind.  So, if a believer prays to God asking termination of viruses, the power from the spiritual world will wok in the human body and activate human cells to produce anti-virus proteins, strengthening immunity.  Then, viruses will be terminated in society.

If we take only a biological or physical approach, it will take a long time to solve a disease or a pandemic.  But, if we rely on work of spirit on a human body, it should more efficiently solve the problem.

Finally, the advice for handling of this corona pandemic is to read the Bible and ask the God to give power for strengthening immunity against viruses.  It is so, since the God must know every detail of 50 trillion cells in our body.

Luke 5 King James Version (KJV)

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets.

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.

4 Now when he had left speaking, he said unto Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your nets for a draught.

5 And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing: nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.

6 And when they had this done, they inclosed a great multitude of fishes: and their net brake.

"into the country of the Gadarenes" - A Stupid History of the Mankind

A Stupid History of the Mankind

It may be no surprise that the genetic similarity between a human and a chimpanzee is 96%, since humans and chimpanzees were separated 7 million years ago.  But it must be a surprise that the genetic similarity between a human and a banana is 60%.

It is said that the first living thing emerged in the earth 3.8 billion years ago.   And the first plant appeared 3.4 billion years ago; then the first animal appeared a billion years ago when DNAs evolved in an explosive manner.

Therefore, ancestors of every animal of today lived as plants for more than 2 billion years.  So, it is no wonder that the genetic similarity between a human and a banana is 60%.

However, a man is an animal that has a mind that can imagine, think of, and revere the God.  Or conversely, if we don't imagine, think of, and revere the God, we may recede to a state of chimpanzees or even bananas.

Nonetheless, if the God gets angry at men as they sell their souls to Satan, He would make men recede to a state of very early living things such as bacteria.  Then, the Angel of Death sent by the God may use viruses to destroy the human beings.  Accordingly, the corona-viruses are now attacking human beings.

If the mankind had developed and established civilization along with the teaching of the God, it should have already developed a means to protect itself from viruses.  Conversely, that fact that viruses are still a threat to the mankind means that it has not yet followed the teaching of the God.

But, what a stupid history the mankind has lived, if it is exterminated by viruses in the 21st century as Isaac Newton suggested!  From Abraham to Christ Jesus was 2000 years, and from Christ Jesus to us of today is 2000 years.  We are living in a decisive era.  The God might abandon the mankind at last.  For this purpose, the God will surely send the Angel of Death with viruses or something like them to the human world.  However, the God is benevolent one, and He must first give a warning to the mankind, which may be this corona pandemic.

The God would say, "The mankind originally born in this earth from a kind of bacteria should retrograde to a kind of bacteria."  Then, the Angel of Death would release more fatal viruses.  And, only Satan would be left on the earth.  Evil men would be all condemned to the hell while righteous men would be allowed to enter Heaven.

But, what a stupid history the mankind has lived as they killed the Son of God and, instead, were given a chance for repentance for 2000 years, but have finally failed to follow the teaching of the God!  Only Satan would be sorry as it cannot occupy men any more.

In next decades, we will see if it will come true or not.

Mark 5 King James Version (KJV)
5 And they came over unto the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gadarenes.
2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,
3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

"And upon this came his disciples" - Fatal Genes or DNAs from Viruses

Fatal Genes or DNAs from Viruses

It is said that the Neanderthal man lived in the period between 400,000 years ago and 40,000 years ago.  However, DNAs of every non-African person of today include about 2% of DNAs from the Neanderthal man.

And it is also widely believed that every person of today carries special traits in its mitochondria in cells that were transferred from a woman called Mitochondrial Eve who lived 160,000 years ago in Africa.

Furthermore, some Japanese scientists believe that the mankind started to include, in their genes, some genes originated in viruses about 40 million years ago or earlier.

So, we cannot tell that the mankind of today are members of a species who only and purely inherited genes and DNAs from its own direct ancestors since the birth of living things on the earth 3.8 billion years ago.  In other words, we don't know where genes and DNAs we have came from or were originally generated.

Genes and DNAs of each person of today include those that were originated in one specific woman of our species, another type of Homo genus, ancient viruses, etc. in past 3.8 billion years.

If Christ Jesus had His own children, some specific genes and DNAs originated in Christ Jesus or His children might have been transferred to some of us.

In future, some viruses in the nature might succeed to transfer some of their genes into human genes.  Indeed, it is afraid that some countries are making study to cause such transfer or change genes of some viruses and make biological weapons.

Viruses should be regarded as another type of living things, although their basic structure is different from that of other living things including procaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms such as the mankind.  Viruses came to exist about three billion years ago.  And, it is believed that viruses played an important role in the emergence of the mammal 200 million years ago and the establishment of the primates 50 million years ago.

So, if the God decided to destroy the mankind, it is natural to think that the God would use viruses to infuse some fatal genes or DNAs into those of the mankind.  In this context, this corona-virus pandemic is thought to be a warning to the mankind.  If the mankind continues to disregard the teachings of Christ Jesus and the words of the God, the God might send to the human world the Angel of Death who should use viruses as its weapons.

However, according to the history, even the Black Death, a pandemic that killed at least one third of Europeans in the 14th century, did not exterminate the mankind.  The God may allow us to further survive into the 22nd, 220th, and 2,200th century or more.

Nonetheless, Isaac Newton got a conclusion after his long-term study of the Bible that it would be no wonder if the end of the world should come at any time after 2060.

We had better prepare for the next pandemic expected to come 10 or 20 years later in this century (even if this corona pandemic is ended in this summer without the second wave).


Each chromosome is made up of tightly coiled strands of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). Genes are segments of DNA that determine specific traits, such as eye or hair color. You have more than 20,000 genes. You have two copies of each gene — one inherited from each of your parents.

John 4 King James Version (KJV)
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27 And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

"they straightway left their nets" - A Warning to Future Tragedies with this Less Harmful Pandemic

A Warning to Future Tragedies with this Less Harmful Pandemic  

An unusually deadly influenza pandemic, called the Spanish flu, set off in 1918, resulting in 500 million infected people and  17 million to 50 million deaths.

It was at the end of WWI.  It was before the Great Depression that started in 1929.  And it was also before WWII that started in 1939 where 50 million to 80 million people were dead, including civilians and military personnel.

It spread in three waves between 1918 and 1919.

Three pandemic waves: weekly combined influenza and pneumonia mortality, United Kingdom, 1918–1919
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_flu#History

Many faithful people at the time must have wondered why this pandemic was generated around 1918.  And, as time went by with the Great Depression and WWII, they might think that the the Spanish flu was an ill omen for the Great Depression and WWII.

Or, the truth might be that the God tried to punish the mankind for their accumulated sins and evil deeds before occurrence of other tragedies by allowing for this pandemic as a warning.  But, Satan misguided the mankind to the further tragic events of the Great Depression and WWII.

So, this 2020 corona-virus pandemic may be regraded as another warning by the God.  If the mankind as a whole still continue to follow Satan loving money more than words of the God, the decisive tragedy or punishment by the God should come in the near future.

The measure may be global GDP.

    https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-05707-7_4

If this graph shows growth of men's faith in God, the God should have protected the mankind from any tragedies and pandemics.  But as this graph shows the trend in global GDP, it mostly means the trend of men's subservience to Satan, since GDP is a measure of material wealth produced and consumed by men following temptation of Satan.

By watching this trend, we should think that it is natural that the God gave the warning with the Spanish flu in the early 20th century.  And as the trend has not stopped over the 21st century, it must be also natural that the God gives another warning in the early 21st century.  And, this corona-virus pandemic set off.

The solution to prevent this pandemic must be, in this context, to further strengthen our faith in God.

Otherwise, the warning will come true like in the case of the Spanish flu.  Maybe another Great Depression and WWIII, involving especially China, must occur in the 21st century.  In this case, the total material civilization of the mankind will be threatened. And, there will be nobody who writes a history book of the human beings in the 22nd century, since the civilization should collapse in the 21st century.

It is dangerous for the mankind with insufficient faith in the God and insufficient spiritual capacity to handle this huge GDP that includes great capacity of production of weapons, including nuclear, chemical, and biological ones.

It is natural that the God gives a warning even in the form of this pandemic that gives less harm and damage than anticipated great future tragedies.

(In this context, we had better watch out in 2039 and 2049 like in the case of  the Spanish flu.)

Matthew 4
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

"thou art a prophet" - Viruses Cannot Kill Human Spirits

Viruses Cannot Kill Human Spirits

It was widely believed that there are 60 trillion cells in a human body, but more specifically, it is estimated that there are 37.2 trillion cells in a human body.　And each undergoes cell division about 50 times.  Further, every cell has the same DNA and genes.

So, two questions arise: (1) Why a man dies before all these trillions of cells die and (2) what gene or DNA generates a human mind?

Life is not a simple mass of cells, and the mind is not a simple phenomenon caused by genes or DNA.  Life and the mind are at higher levels than cells and genes.

If a man is shot at his heart, cells of the heart are broken by the bullet but other cells are still alive; yet the man dies and, accordingly, other cells also die.  His life is at a higher level than cells, relying on functions of total physical systems in the body.

We don't live as a cell lives, and we don't think as genes order.  We live and think according to the spirit that comes from the spiritual world to this material world.  In other words, it is useless to find the God in the material world.

However, it is interesting that a great number of cells constitute specific structure, organization, and systems to work and function in harmony with one another.  And, these structure, organization, and systems generate their own effective domains.  There, a phenomenon called life is generated, and work of the mind is produced.  They are based on cells, but they have features not found in cells because of difference of domains.  And into these domains, power and an action come from the spiritual world.  Then, life and mind work are generated.

Although it is still a mystery why the God uses this material world, including cells, to generate human beings, all we have to do is to understand the word of Christ Jesus that a man does not live only by bread but also by words of the God.

Viruses and other disease germs can attack and kill cells but cannot attack and kill human spirits.  But, the God can send the Angel of Death to this world to destroy followers of Satan.

And what if all the mankind become followers of Satan?

Anyway, Satan targets human beings but not human cells.

John 4 King James Version (KJV)
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
