"because they saw his miracles" - Why do so Many People Want to be Rich?

Why do so Many People Want to be Rich?

The teaching of Christ Jesus is based on the notion that a man can continue to live after physical death in the spirit word or the afterlife.  Therefore, if you believe His words, you do not have to be afraid of your death, although you might dislike to leave this world.  Even if you do not believe His words, other non-nonsense religions such as Buddhism also tell that there is the afterlife.  And, many reports by those who have experienced the near-death experiences support the notion that their souls and minds have not died in those experiences.

So, you do not have to worry about physical death.  But, it does not mean that everybody can live happy afterlife.  Christ Jesus declared that rich men could not be accepted in Heaven but should go the hells.  However, as poor people were a majority in the human society in these 2,000 years, His teaching was accepted by many.  And, rich men tried to neglect all or at least part of His teaching.  And religious people who were associated with rich people tried not to emphasize this part of the teaching of Christ Jesus: rich men could not be accepted in Heaven but should go the hells.  

Therefore, rich men do not fully believe in Christ Jesus.  They think that nothing is left after their death.  Otherwise, they neglect the part of His teaching concerned with the condition to be accepted in Heaven, although they do not openly deny social authority and power of Christianity.  And, religious people accepted them as Christians only if rich men admit authority of the church and especially they donate enough money to the church.  And, most of those with near-death experiences have reported that the spirit world is wonderful and they have not seen the hells.  And, scholars and experts in Christianity tell that it is not materially poor men that are accepted in Heaven but it is those with poor minds that can be accepted in Heaven; put simply, no matter how much rich you materially are, you can be accepted in Heaven.  Rich men are relieved, and some of them continue to serve both the God and mammon or only mammon without the fear of falling into the hells after death.

This is simple reality of the sate in the human world.  Some do not believe existence of the spirit world or the afterlife and most of others believe that thy can be accepted in Heaven, being exempted from pains in the hells, even if they are materially rich or super rich, believing that they have poor minds of whatever kinds.  They seem to believe that they can enjoy rich life after death in the spirit world like they have enjoyed rich and happy life in this material life achieved with their wealth obtained through their way of living, neglecting the poor and selling their souls to Satan and the devils.  They look brainwashed by Satan and the devils.  

But why do so many people want to be rich, pursuing money and wealth?  Partly they doubt that there are Heaven and the hells in the spirit world or the afterlife.  In this context, they do not fully accept the teaching of Christ Jesus.  And, partly they are following Satan so that they can earn more money and accumulate wealth.

However, according to the words of Christ Jesus, the God has the power to exterminate those who have fallen to the hells.  The God can easily and simply kill Satan, the devils, and those who are in the hells.  Therefore, we should be afraid of the God more than poverty and pains given by Satan.  Truly we do not know when the God execute this power.  Maybe, He might delete the hells when 100 trillion souls have fallen into the hells or quickly in the 21st century.  

It is the true end of the world, covering this material world and the spirit world.  No matter where your sols are in the material world or the spirit world, you have to face the real end of the world except your are in Heaven where you are given eternal life and happiness.  I am very sorry if you will not be in Heaven at that time, but I should be very glad to see Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. vanish with the hells.

6 After these things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias.
2 And a great multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that were diseased.
3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and there he sat with his disciples.
4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.

"seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died" - Jewish Spirits Leading the Ukraine War to WWIII

Jewish Spirits Leading the Ukraine War to WWIII

One of the special features in the Ukraine War is that the president of Ukraine is a Jewish man.  So, Ukraine is the only country with a Jewish president except Israel.

In other words, WWII was ended with a tragedy of six million deaths of Jewish people, while WWIII is going to start with a tragedy of one Jewish man.

Looking back at the history, we can see that ancient Judea was destroyed through the Jewish Roman War about 40 years after the death of Christ Jesus.  The Roman Empires was destroyed through wars with barbarians 400 years after the deaths of St. Peter and St. Paul.  The spirits of those saints should have influenced occurrence of those wars.  Therefore, the spirits of those six million Jewish people massacred in WWII must be influencing occurrence of WWIII. 

It is often said that evil spirits can inflict and harm living people.  And, it is also said that good spirits can also help living people from the spirit world.  It is because the spirit world is above this world, and spiritual energy can surpass forces in this world.  

Most of sprits of the six million Jewish people killed in WWII should wish in the spirit world that peace prevail in the human world, but some of those spirits might want revenge on those who are familiarly or friendlily linked to those who did not help them in WWII.  Those Jewish spirits might find a reason to execute such revenge as they have seen the plight of the Jewish president of Ukraine.  In this case, the Ukraine War might further lead to occurrence of WWIII.  And, the Vatican might be involved in WWIII, since it can be thought that the Vatican did not make full efforts to rescue those Jewish people being massacred in WWII.  As the EU is based on traditions and authority of the Vatican, most of Europe should be directly influenced by WWIII.

On the other hand, the Holy Mother has warned in these decades or centuries that the Lord God will not protect the mankind in coming great tragedies any more, since they have got rotten and degraded so much.  Prayers by the Pope and other Christians might not be fully heard by the God Almighty.      

The flow of the events to WWIII should be as follows:

Russia still in the spiritual state in WWII => Ukraine led by a Jewish president => the Ukraine War => Influence on Europe with elites still in the religious state in WWII => WWIII 

Put simply, Europe and the Vatican as well as Russia should change their spiritual/religious state so as to satisfy Jewish people living now in this world as well as in the spirit world.  Otherwise, Satan might abuse spiritual energy of those Jewish people massacred in WWII to influence the world facing a crisis leading to WWIII.

So, we have to take into accounts the state in the spirit world as well as in the international conditions and the history in this world.

"saving Naaman the Syrian" - The Holy Mother and Swedenborg Predicted the End of Money Economy

The Holy Mother and Swedenborg Predicted the End of Money Economy  

According to a Japanese newspaper, Russian President Putin has assets worth about two hundred billion US dollars.  As Christ Jesus said that a rich man cannot be accepted in Heaven, he should surely fall into the hells after his death in this world like other rich men.  But, it is not known when he dies; yet it is thought that at the end of the Ukraine War expected to come around 2025 he would disappear in my speculation.  And, WWIII would subsequently soon happen.  

About 20 years ago, the U.S. and other G7 countries expected that Russia would be soon democratized and G7 would be G8 with Russia participating into the G7 group.  And, the EU, etc. could secure the energy/food source in Russia.  But, as time goes by, it is fund that Russia is different from what they supposed it was like in the case of China.  This war in Ukraine must have persuaded the U.S. and other G7 countries to determine that they have to introduce the Western-style democracy into Russia by any means like in the case of China.  So, WWIII would be inevitable.  The fear to a minor nuclear-attack exchange  would be succumbed to the fear of being dominated by Russia and losing the energy/food source.  NATO would advance and occupy Moscow; then the Europeans theater of WWIII would end.  Russia would be completely democratized in the early 2030s.  But, it must not be the end of tragedies in this century.          

It is expected that a great natural disaster will occur after WWIII.  The north pole might move to Europe.  Ices in Greenland and the Antarctic Continent might melt and disappear.  Sea level rise should globally occur.  Europe should be covered by ices.  But, Siberia might be in the temperate region.  The deserts in Africa and the Middle East might change to forest belts.  Great population migration from Europe should occur.

In the end of this century, the current material civilization should be devastated.  And, a history book in the future will read that the great tragedies for the mankind in the 21st century started with the Ukraine War.   

As Swedenborg wrote in the late 18th century that the Last Judgment was executed in the spirit world at the time, its effect would come and appear in this human world sooner or later.  The Holy Mother warned people of this great tragedy in Fatima, Garabandal, Medjugorje, etc. in these decades or more, saying that the Lord in Heaven would no more protect the rotten and degraded mankind.  Indeed, Newton predicted that the end of time should come after 2060.

The solution to this great tragedy is for us to become more spiritual, abandoning pursuit of Wealth, money, and material happiness in this world.  In this context money economy should be ended.  Money is the source of every evil in the human world.  Another name of money should be Satan.

How much we have sold our souls to Satan can be measured by how much money we have.  I am sorry to say that Mr. Putin looks having too much money to be accepted in Heaven.

24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elias sent, save unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a widow.
27 And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian.

"except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees" - Wars in 2020s and Natural Disasters in 2030s

 

A Park around Tokyo

Wars in 2020s and Natural Disasters in 2030s

Hiroshima is 300 km west of Kyoto, the old capital of Japan before its westernization in the late 19th century for 1,200 years, which is 500 km west of Tokyo. 

Hiroshima was a military city in Japan before the end of WWII.  It is situated on the inland sea called Setonaikai.  The U.S. military attacked the center of Hiroshima with an atomic bomb the U.S. had succeeded to develop just a month before, which became the first case of using nuclear weapons in a war in the human history.  It was near the end of WWII, namely August 6 1945, when the Empire of Japan led by the emperor and military elites had decided to fight against U.S. troops in the mainland Japan.  As it was expected that fierce battles involving kamikaze attacks by Japanese soldiers (suicide attacks) would kill hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, the U.S. government decided to use the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and next at Nagasaki.  Indeed, at the time, almost every Japanese believed that they had to die in battles against American soldiers for the emperor.  

But, after Russian invasion into the northeast of China and the Kuril Islands then occupied by Japan, following the U.S. nuclear attacks onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a port city 300 km west of Hiroshima, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the U.S. and the allied countries on August 15, 1945.  Then, WWII was finally over with 3 million Japanese deaths in addition to 6 million deaths of Jewish people and about 0.3 million American deaths, 14.5 million Russian deaths  as well as other 600 million deaths.  The atomic bomb attack at Hiroshima became one of the symbolic tragedies in WWII like the massacre in Auschwitz.          

This is the general idea about the tragedy at Hiroshima, which is so recognized and taught in Japan to date.  Hence, Japan has adopted the new constitution, recommended by the U.S., which prohibits participation in wars by the Japanese government after WWII.  Japan is now well known as a peace country in the world without possession of nuclear weapons.  Therefore, the Japanese hate its old military elites but are thankful to the Americans who introduced the peace constitution after WWII.  And, the Japanese imperial family could survive this difficult period to date.  In this context, we have to pay respect to American Christianity under its influence the general McArthur, the then supreme commander of the allied army in the Pacific Theater, introduced the draft of the constitution to Japan (though he could not become U.S. president).    

Now the G7 Summit Meeting is held in Hiroshima with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.  The focus is on how to handle the Russian threat of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.  In this context, it is important to note that the U.S. etc. have never used nuclear weapons after WWII.  A just one unit of the weapons, if used, would kill not only many enemy soldiers but also tens of thousands or more civilians, since its devastating effect is so large.  It is more destructive than an indiscriminate bombing by hundreds of bombing planes.     

However, in my speculation, Russia would finally retreat from Ukraine without using nuclear weapons, but its troops would soon come back again to attack not only Ukraine but also Poland, etc. with use of nuclear weapons, starting WWIII.  The war would continue through 2020s, but finally Moscow would be occupied by NATO and Russia would be completely democratized.  Yet, the world would have to face a threat coming from China.     

What is worse, great natural disasters including  abnormal climate would ensue in 2030s.  As warned by the Holy Mother, the end of time after comparatively peaceful time after WWII should come.  As the human material civilization has become so rotten and degraded, the God and Christ Jesus should no more protect and sustain the human world.  This must be content of the meaning of the tragic 21st century predicted in the Bible, the Holy Mother, Newton, Swedenborg, and other psychics in Japan and the world in these decades.    

But, none, including the Biblical saints, knows when and how the coming tragedy would proceed.  All we have to do is to pray for material peace and spiritual prosperity of the world.

So, it is recommended to read the Bible at least once a day and try to love poverty as much as possible to suppress Satan, the devils, and other evil sprits.

"but said also that God was his Father" - Wealth and Death

Wealth and Death

According to FRB and the World Ultra Wealth Report 2017, etc., the top 1% of Americans in terms of possession of wealth have 31% of all the wealth in the U.S., while the lower 50% have just 2%.  In other words, the top 1% keep about about 39 trillion dollars while the lower 50% keep about 2.5 trillion dollars.  

And there are 73,110 super-rich people (or ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) with at least $30 million in investable assets) in the U.S. among 220,000 UHNWs in the world.  Indeed, the U.S. is the most wealthy country in the world.  (There are 16,470 UHNWs in Japan.)  Put simply, the gap between the rich and poor is increasing in these centuries. 

When looking at statistics related to gun accidents, 48,000 people died in cases involving guns in the U.S. in 2021, which was the highest record ever reported by CDC.  During the period of the corona pandemic, wealth and death are both increasing in the U.S.  Indeed, the gun-related deaths in the U.S. are almost equal to the death toll of Russian soldiers in Ukraine since February 2022.　

You may believe that wealth leads to the paradise in this world while death leads to the hells in this world.  But, according to Christ Jesus, wealth leads to the hells in the afterlife, but poor and faithful men's death leads to Heaven in the spirit world.  In this context, wealth is more dangerous than death for poor and faithful men.

Behind these statistics, there is influence of Satan, the devils, and other evil spirits.  It seems that the more wealth is produced in society, the more people die from gun-related accidents.  However, even if you die in gun-related accidents, your soul can be accepted in Heaven after death.  But, if you die with big wealth, you surely go to the hells after death.  Indeed, we should not be afraid of death even in Ukraine, but rather we should be afraid of wealth in this world.  This is the core of the teaching of Christ Jesus.  In other words, we should be afraid of the hells in the afterlife rather than death in this world. 

However, if there are no Satan, devils, evil spirits, etc. behind wealth and money, we may enjoy happiness wealth promises.  We may even possess guns if there are no Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc.  The focus should be on Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. in gun accidents. 

The current war in Ukraine seems to have been started by Russian leaders and elites under influence of Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc.  But, there are influences from Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. in gun-related cases in the U.S.  Until they are all eradicated, wars and gun accidents cannot be prevented.  And, Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. live in the form of money as the Gospels suggest.  In other words, until we abandon money and wealth, wars and gun accidents continue to happen in this world.

Finally, we have to love poverty in order to achieve peace in the international stage as well as streets in the U.S., etc.  There is big wealth behind gun accidents in the U.S.  And there are Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. behind big wealth in the U.S.  So, Americans should love poverty more than wealth and money so as to eradicate gun accidents.

"great is your reward in heaven" - To the 22nd Century over Satan

 

Tokyo

To the 22nd Century over Satan

Satan is real, according to the Gospels. It uses many evil spirits to attack human beings.  The reason for happening of frequent gun accidents in the U.S. should consist in this situation.  Satan and evil spirits are behind every tragic accident. 

But, the origin of evil spirits is the evil mind of human beings.  Human being will do any evil in order to satisfy their desire, which will connect them to Satan.

Therefore, human beings are responsible for evil, wrongness, and results from sins.  But, Christ Jesus and the Holy Mother tried and are still trying to save human beings from suffering results of their sins.  Yet, Satan wants human beings to join it in the hells.  Therefore, tragedies and problems never cease in the human world.  To understand the Gospels and this world, we have to understand this underlying conditions related to Satan who is trying to make human beings increase their wrongdoings, sell their souls to Satan, and fall down to the hells.

Indeed, the core of the Gospels is fight between Satan and Christ Jesus over human souls.  We have to make a decision as to whether we join Christ Jesus or Satan in this world.  Most parts of our life in this world and the afterlife are result of this decision.  What's more, the history of the human world is also a result of this collective decision made by all the mankind as a whole. 

In this context, the warning issued by the Holy Mother that the God and Christ Jesus will no longer protect the human beings from tragedies expected to come soon, since they have sold their souls too much to Satan.  We have to prepare for WWIII and the great natural disaster expected to come in this century.

Indeed, the current war in Ukraine might at last lead to WWIII, and the earth might undergo abnormal climates, or a pole shift or an earth axis shift.  In my speculation, WWIII will occur in 2020s and a great natural catastrophe will happen in 2030s.  And Satan and evil spirits will be behind these tragedies in the 21st century.  But, if human beings repent and come back to the teachings of the God, they will be able to survive the 21st century.  And, in the 22nd century, the human civilization should be very different from the present one; they will no more sell their souls to Satan.

Therefore, what is necessary for human beings to survive the coming tragedies in the 21st century and somehow enter into the 22nd century is to avoid connection with Satan.  This connection with Satan comes from our pursuing money and wealth to satisfy our desire.  Therefore, we have to accept poverty but deny material prosperity.  Then, we will not have any need to sell our souls to Satan so as to be rich and happy.  In other words, we have to be more spiritual than material.  We have to be like poor followers of Christ Jesus in the 1st century.  Truly, Christ Jesus said to sell all of our possessions and give money earned there to the poor and then follow Him.  This is the teaching that we have to follow in order to survive this century and reach the 22nd century.  We have to sell out Satan to avoid the fate of falling into the hells.       

Americans are shooting their neighbors; Russians are invading Ukraine; China is cruelly suppressing democratic partisans; and many other people in the world are also facing political, social, economic, and various other hardships arising from influences of Satan.        

We have to accept poverty and abandon our desire as much as possible to cut ties with Satan, so that we can survive tragic events in this century.  And, we have to pray to the God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Mother, and other sacred deities that they shall protect us from the coming tragedies...

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

"when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in" - Soft and Valuable Clothing in this World to Turn to Rags in the Afterlife

 

Mt. Fuji

Soft and Valuable Clothing in this World to Turn to Rags in the Afterlife

The poorer a man is, the more he is blessed in the spirit world after death in this world, according to the Gospels.  Therefore, Christ Jesus never  praises kings, etc. in this world:

(Matthew 11, King James Version)
6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.
9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

Indeed, the value system in the afterlife is opposite to that in this world.  The poorer a man is in this world, the higher he is appreciated in Heaven.  And the best man in terms of poverty and faith in this world, namely the poorest man with the highest faith in this world, is still the least man in terms of love and faith in Heaven.  You have to be poor as much as possible as a man in the wilderness in order to be accepted in Heaven after death in this world and be appraised as high as possible.

In other words, kings, etc. in this world or in any fields cannot be accepted in Heaven.  But, the king of the poor in this world, if there is such a man, can be surely accepted in Heaven after his death; yet, he is the smallest among angels and other sacred spirits in Heaven.

Rich men and elites in this world cannot be accepted in Heaven, which is the core of Jesus' teachings.  Truly, they acquire and keep their wealth and social positions even if they have to sell their souls to Satan and devils so as to secure their wealth and status.  It is apparent that they do not love their poor neighbors and the God who loves the poor, while Christ Jesus told to love the God and poor neighbors with the utmost energy.

Indeed, poor men can know how evil it is to be rich and successful in this world.  They can see that the rich and elites follow Satan and devils and revere Satan as a god, so that they attack those who do not respect and follow Satan as enemies of their god, namely Satan.  Indeed, Satan (whose another form is money) is the god for the rich and elites; and thus their value system is opposite to that in Heaven.  It is natural that they cannot be accepted in Heaven after death in this world.

So, according to reports of Swedenborg and others who have observed the afterlife or the spirit world, the rich and elites after their death in this world are in the hells, still fighting one anther to suppress and dominate others in very ugly ways and manner.  Their clothes are all shattered all in rags and to tatters.  And the most violent and wicked one dominates others, while he is ruled by Satan.

However, the poor who loved the God and poor neighbors while living in the human world are accepted in Heaven and treated well by angels so as to live happy forever.  This is what Christ Jesus told.  All you have to do is to believe His teaching and live and act accordingly.

Soft and valuable clothing in this world will turn to rags in the afterlife.

3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.
5 And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things.
6 And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
8 And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much.
9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out.
10 Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

"from him shall be taken even that which he hath" - Love Poverty and the God, and then the God will Love You

 

Love Poverty and the God, and then the God will Love You

It is reportedly said that about 90% of Americans admit power and authority of Christianity, whether or not they are Christians, two thirds of them accept holy effect  of the Bible and existence of the afterlife, and a half of them believe or see influences and works of devils, demons, and Satan.  But, it seems that only 1% of them understand significance of the words of Christ Jesus that rich men cannot enter Heaven but fall into the hells after their death in this world.

In addition, 70% of people in the world believe in the God, but about 70% of the Chinese people do not believe in the existence of the God, and only 30% of the Japanese accept the idea that the God of Christianity exists.  However, most of them seem to believe in the existence of deities of various religions other than Christianity, Judaism, or Islam.  And about 90% of the Japanese celebrate Christmas day and know who Christ Jesus is, while they revere deities of Buddhism, shintoism, etc.  And most of them pray to these deities so as to make them materially happy and rich.   

But what is more significant is that most of Americans admit power and authority of the words of Christ Jesus but they do not accept His teaching that rich men cannot enter Heaven but fall into the hells after their death in this world.  If they really accept the words of Christ Jesus, they should try to be poor as much as possible.  Instead, they seem to try to be rich as much as possible.   

The core of the Bible is the battle between Christ Jesus who encouraged people to accept poverty and Satan who tried to capture souls of people by use of money and wealth.  Christ Jesus taught people that they have to accept poverty to show their love to the God and their neighbors.  The more people become poor, the more they understand truth and teachings of the God.  But, those who love money and wealth would rather sell their souls to Satan and hate Christ Jesus and his followers.  They regard Satan as their god and thus regard followers of Christ Jesus as enemies of their god, who is Satan.  In other words, this world and the human society became a place of battles between the followers of Christ Jesus and those of Satan.

Therefore, followers of Satan may believe in existence of the afterlife or the spirit world and Heaven and the hells, but they also believe that Satan and money will make them happy even after their death in this world.  However, it seems that most of people are pursuing money and wealth without realizing that they are following Satan but not Christ Jesus.       

So, the most important teaching of Christ Jesus is to accept, pursue, and love poverty and the poor so as to be accepted in Heaven after death in this world.  Then, people would not sell their souls to Satan so as to be rich.

Indeed, the essence of the Gospels is that poverty leads to Heaven while wealth leads to the hells.  Hate money and Satan but love poverty and the God, and then the God will love you.

Can Magical and Spiritual Power Save a Nation?

In 1274 and 1281 the Mongolian Empire that had already conquered China started to invade into Japan then under Samurai regime. But at each attempt of the invasion, a typhoon occurred and Mongolian fleets with tens of thousands soldiers sank or got destroyed, and thus Japan was saved.  In Japanese text books on history it is described that the winds of gods saved Japan.  Indeed, at the time, the samurai regime and the imperial authority of Japan mobilized as many Buddhist monks, shintoism priests, etc. as possible to have them pray to deities and gods of Buddhism and shintoism (the inherent religion of the Japanese people) so as to help Japan defeat the invading Mogolian troops.  And, a big typhoon occurred to destroy the Mogolian fleets.  The typhoon was called the god's wind, which is called kami-kaze in Japanese.  People of Japan confirmed that Japan was protected by god's, Buddhism deities, and other holy spirits, and thus the idea that Japan is a kingdom of gods (kamino-kuni)  prevailed in Japan.      

But in 1590s when Hideyoshi who ruled Japan as samurai leader invaded into the Korean peninsula to fight and conquer the then Chinese dynasty Ming, kami-kaze did not blow to help Japanese troops; Hideyoshi failed.

After modernization of Japan in the late 19th century, Imperial Japan fought against the then Chonese dynsty Qing and subsequently the Russian Empire to defeat them and establish Japanese hegemony over the Korean peninsula.  The Japanese people came to confirm that Japan was protected by gods and other deities and thus invincible.  So, the authority of the emperor of Japan as the highest priest of shintoism was reinforced.    

Then in 1930s, Imperial Japan started war against China, leading to a war against the U.S. and WWII.  After the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941, the Japanese government mobilized Buddhism and shintoism monks and priests, etc. to ask their deities for help and kami-kaze.  Maybe as the effect of these prayers, the then U.S. president Roosevelt died mysteriously due to a heart disease in 1945 before the end of WWII.   But, kami-kaze did not occur and Imperial Japan was defeated by American troops and their atomic bombs onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki.  Imperial Japan surrendered and accepted American occupation till 1952.  Consequently, Japan adopted new democratic constitution under influence of American democratic Christianity.  The emperor of Japan became a mere symbol of unity of the Japanese people, losing political power.  (That is why Japan is no more imperial, although the imperial family still keeps their special position in the Japanese society.)    

However, belief in Buddhism and shintoism deities has never been thrown away.  Most of the Japanese think even today that they are Buddhists or shitoists, although they admit that Christianity has more power than Buddhism and shinto as proven by the war against the U.S. in WWII.  Yet, Christians are only 1% of the Japanese population.  The majority is Buddhists or shintoists or followers of other religions related to Buddhism or shintoism.     

And, 40% of the Japanese people today believe in spiritual power.  Many people ask help from persons with spiritual power who are often linked to Buddhism, shintoism, and other religions.  There are professional spiritualists or conjurators who claim they can invoke spirits or use spiritual power for clients.  When clients want spiritual support or revenge on others, they sometimes ask such spiritualists for help.   In the modern society in Japan, there is still underlying  propensity for reliance on super-natural or psychic power.  There are some religious bodies based on the occult.  Occultism is popular among some Japanese.  Nonetheless, exorcists as seen in Christian societies in Europe and the U.S. are not common in Japan.  Instead, spiritualists or conjuros linked to Buddhism or shintoism provide such services as removing evil spirits from clients or cursing their enemies.  Spiritualism in Japan has the dark side. 

If there are such traditions as seen in Japan in Ukraine, they would mobilize those with spiritual power to drive Russian troops out of Ukraine.  Maybe the U.S. and NATO countries had better mobilize such people with super-natural or psychic power to stop Russian troops from invading into Ukraine.  They should ask help even from the Vatican.

However, the best person with spiritual power is Christ Jesus, and the Holy Mother Mary is called queen of peace.  Finally, we must pray to Christ Jesus and the Holy Mother Mary so that peace should prevail in Ukraine.

Anyway, we must prepare for WWIII expected to come after the war in Ukraine in a spiritual manner.  And Japan should reinforce its spiritual power rather than adopting nuclear weapons.

The New Era with our Spiritual Power

It is said that Hitler could not invade into England in WWII because the British Government at the time mobilized persons with the spiritual ability to pray to the God so that Hitler's army could not invade into England.  They further tried to imbue the idea that the German troops could not invade into England into Hitler's mind. 

Although Hitler used to use magics or some spiritual power, he could not defend himself from these spiritual attacks from England.  Consequently,  Great Britain was saved from Hitler's attack.  Churchill also used a famous psychic to compete with Hitler. 

In this context, WWII can be regarded as a war where spiritual powers were used by both the sides of the allied countries and the axis powers.

Even the Empire of Japan mobilized monks and shinto priests with spiritual power to curse U.S. leaders.  They could not stop American troops from making advancement, although President Roosevelt died suddenly mysteriously in 1945.

And, recently Uri Geller said that he would use psychic power to defend a British port if Putin tried to attack the port with nuclear missiles.  He said that if many persons with spiritual power joined together to use their psychic power, they should be able to stop Russian attacks on the U.K.

I do not know if Russian President Putin is using any psychics, but the current war in Ukraine can be also a war with spiritual power.  And, American psychics might be helping Ukraine.  Indeed, this war in Ukraine might be significantly affected by psychics.

When the American military captured and killed Osama bin Laden in 2011, they might have used psychics to identify the place and situations where the terrorist leader was.  Although it is not clear how much the U.S. military relies on psychic power or super-natural power, they might use such spiritual power, especially as they seem to study UFOs.

In this context, for the mankind to survive the 21st century when WWIII and huge natural disasters will occur according to the Holy Mother, they should mobilize psychics and super-natural power not only in the current war in Ukraine.  We have to enter into the new era with our spiritual power.

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

World Leaders to Weep and Gnash their Teeth in the Spirit World 

If we believe in the Gospels and Christ Jesus, we should naturally believe that Satan and devils exist. 

The fight against Satan and devils is one of the main themes of the Gospels.  And, Christ Jesus' victory over them is one of the key issues in the Gospels.  Or, one should read the Gospels as a great story of Christ Jesus' victory over Satan and devils.

The underlying conditions are that the God, Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit as well as the Holy Mother want men to be accepted in Heaven while Satan and the devils wish to take as many as human souls into the hells.  Satan, etc. should know that they could not win the God, so that they attacked the Son of the God in the form of a man.  They succeeded in killing Christ Jesus on the cross, but He resurrected and went up to Heaven as a revived man, which meant that He defeated them. 

However, Satan, etc. did not give up their plot in these 2,000 years.  They started to attack followers of Christ Jesus, which became the major parts of the human history.  And, even in the 21st century, their evil actions have continued.

And, the Gospel according to Matthew 24 read:

2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

The battles between Satan, etc. and human beings must be severe.  However, those who follow the words of Christ Jesus should be finally saved.  But, those who do not will be punished:

50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Especially, we should be at alert when we see a bad servant taking the highest position in a nation.  That is why these days should near to the end of time, since we have seen Putin, Trump, Xi, and other sovereign princes who are not following the teachings of the God taking the highest positions in their nations.

Finally, we might see many world leaders of today weep and gnash their teeth in the spirit world after death in this world.  

Anyway, the road to the 22nd century is hard to imagine.

4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

"he that cometh from heaven is above all" - Why the God has not Stopped Wars

Why the God has not Stopped Wars

According to Allan Kardec (1804-1869), the pen name of the French educator, translator, and author Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail, a spiritual entity or an angel who called himself the Spirit of Truth said about wars, etc. in his spiritual communications:

 

"A war occurs because men's animalism surpasses their divinity.  In a state of animalism, any tribe finds its power in their being stronger than others.  Therefore, its normalcy is in a state of making a war.  So, when the mankind progress, there will be less wars.  But, if a war becomes inevitable, the mankind will humanly handle the situation."

"The reason for the God's needing wars in the human world is to promote freedom and progress."

"Those who make war for their profits are so sinful that they have to suffer in many cycles of life and death.  They have to expiate their sin to each of them who have been killed because of their ambition to pursue wars." 

"If a man killed an enemy in a war that he carried out as he was forced to do so, he is free of responsibility."

"Destruction is sometimes needed, but cruelty is not needed at all and thus is always a result of one's malignity."

 

So, we may understand why the God has not stopped the human beings from making wars.  Indeed, the human history is full of wars, or freedom and progress in the modern world have been realized after numerous wars.  Even after Christ Jesus' appearance in the human world 2,000 years ago, there have been many wars beginning with the Jewish-Roman war. 

Anyway, I think that the current war in Ukraine will be halted around 2025, but in a few years after the armistice, I am afraid, WWIII will happen around 2028.  But, WWIII will be ended around 2033.

Yet, I think that more horrible natural disasters than WWIII will occur after WWIII.  This century will become a century of tragedies.  We have to pray that Christ Jesus should come again in this century so as to save the mankind.

Love your Enemies in the Society or Fighting Fields for Promised Heaven

Christ Jesus said to love your enemies, which has sometimes embarrassed people.    

Matthew 5
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

But can the poor love the rich?  Can Ukrainians love Russian soldiers who are attacking them, following their president?  Or, can followers of the God and Christ Jesus love those who are attacking them, following Satan?  Otherwise can  lambs love wolves attacking them?  Indeed, it must be very difficult for those who hate Satan to love Satan who is going to attack and rule them?  How can the Jewish people love Hitler?

To love enemies who are physically, psychologically, or socially, whether explicitly or secretly, we have to have the faith that those who are poor following Christ Jesus would be accepted in Heaven after death but others who are rich following Satan would go to the hells after death.  And, we can prove that we are poor following Christ Jesus and our enemies are rich following Satan, with the fact our enemies are attacking us who are poor following Christ Jesus.  In short, as we are attacked by our enemies who are following Satan, we are promised by the God to be accepted in Heaven.  

For this reason, we may even love our enemies.  We may even bless our enemies, since as they have sold their souls to Satan and attacked us, we can be entitled to admittance into Heaven.  And happiness we are promised to enjoy in Heaven after death in this world is far greater than any happiness our enemies are enjoying or will enjoy in this world.             

It is just like that we are invited to a dinner in the palace by the king who has pity on us as gangsters around the palace have attacked us.  We might even thank the gangsters who cannot be allowed into the palace.

So, in order to love our enemies who have attacked or tried to kill us, we need to believe that there is the afterlife and we can be accepted in Heaven while our enemies cannot.  And, the crucial condition is that we are following the teaching of the God and Christ Jesus.  And the core of the teachings is that only the poor can be accepted in Heaven while the rich cannot.

Indeed, what we can learn about this world or the human society when we are poor is more precious and unfathomable.  And, what we have learnt in this state should make us believe in and follow Christ Jesus.  In other words, unless we love our enemies, our faith in the God and Christ Jesus is not sufficient.  

Love your enemies, since their attacking us proves that we are worthy to be accepted in Heaven where we can enjoy everlasting happiness and eternal life.

"that kingdom cannot stand" - Be Poor so that Your Prayer will be Heard by the God

Be Poor so that Your Prayer will be Heard by the God

The most important question for a man in his life is whether his soul can continue to live after his death in this life.  And, if his soul can, can it enter into Heaven, which must be more important than the first question is.  No man likes to go to the hells after his death in this life.  And, the answer by Christ Jesus is that only the poor can, which is clearly stated in the Bible and is the key to His teaching.  But, everybody wants to get money as much as possible in his life in this world.  That is why none can enjoy blessing by the God.

  

However, some psychics told that they saw rich men in Heaven when they were allowed to see the spirt world.  Yet, Christ Jesus clearly stated that a rich man cannot be accepted in Heaven.  

(Matthew 19)
23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Christ Jesus is the best psychic.  We had better trust in Christ Jesus more than any other psychics.

If a man cannot be accepted in Heave, it is no use for his soul to continue to live after his physical death in this world.  But why cannot a rich man be accepted in Heaven?  This is the main theme of the Gospels.  Being rich in this world has more significant meanings that we think it is.  For us to understand what poverty means is to understand what Christ Jesus said. 

Indeed, the more you come to know this world, the more you understand how evil a man would be as he tries to earn more money.  Everyone wants to be happy, and to be happy in this material world, you need money.  Therefore, everyone tries to earn money as much as possible or by whatever means.  And everyone will neglect or sacrifice others or poor neighbors for himself to be rich.  Then, with full of these people, this world will be a hell.  So, it can be understood why Christ Jesus said that a rich man could not be accepted in Heaven.

The desire to earn money as much as possible leads to denial of neighbors' well beings and the poor.  But, materially being rich and happy in this world leads to the hells.  Poor men 2,000 years ago must be glad to hear this teaching of Christ Jesus.  Their being poor promises them to be accepted in Heaven.  Therefore, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is encouragement of becoming poor rather than rich.  

If you are kind to others or love the poor, you cannot be richer than others or the poor.  So, as a result, you will inevitably be poor as much as your neighbors or the poor are.  Then you will not sell your soul to Satan, while ordinary people would even sell their souls to Satan in order to become rich.  They would do any evil things to earn money, so that they would obey Satan.  The more they earn money, the more they would do evil things and sell their souls to Satan.

That is why this world with full of people who want to be rich cannot be blessed by the God, since such people would go the hells after death in this world.

Put simply, the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus is: Be poor in this world so as to be accepted in Heaven after death in this world.  Therefore, to show your faith in the God and Christ Jesus, you have to be poor enough to be accepted in Heaven.  Then, your prayers will be surely heard by the God and Christ Jesus.

What is the God? Will He Here our Prayers?

In 1856 Alan Kardec (1804-1869) or the French educator, translator, and author Hippolyte Léon Denizard Rivail communicated with spiritual entities and wrote what they answered to his questions.  The answer to his question about what the God is is as follows:

"The God is the supreme wisdom and the source of everything."

His book "Spirits' Book" had been printed in 4 million copies, and there are more than 20 million followers of his doctrines in Brazil.   Since 1848, psychic research has been promoted especially in Europe, Americas, etc.  In the French-speaking world, Alan Kardec is a notable man in this field.  It is said that Kardec communicated with the spirits of St. John, St. Paul, Swedenborg, etc. working in the spirit world. 

Other important answers from the spiritual entities are:

"Men cannot understand the essence of the God."

"The basic is that the God exists."

"The God was not caused by anything, but everything was caused by the God."  

So, every elemental particle, atom, molecule, and other material element were created by the God.  This whole material universe, including our bodies and various material energies, were made by the God.

However, what concerns to us is whether the God hears our prayers and changes our fates as well as situations and conditions surrounding us.   In this respect, if we believe in Christ Jesus, we can be sure that the God can.  Indeed, Christ Jesus said: "If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17)." 

So, we have to believe in Christ Jesus if we want the God to hear us and allow what we wish to come true.  In other words, we have to have faith which should be pure enough to the eyes of the God even if it is as small as a mustered seed. 

The God is almighty, so that everything that exists and can exist owes its existence to the God.  In other words, anything that exists can exist as the God exists.  And, not only material entities but also our fates and their transit depend on the God.  The God can change any material entities and also our fates.

And, as the God created this material world or the universe through spiritual energy in the spirit world, we can connect to the God through our prayers that can connect to the spiritual energy.  And, our faith in the God should be a form of our prayers without verbal expressions at every moment of our daily life.  Therefore, establishing and having pure faith in the God can be a way to connect our wishes to the God.  Then, the God may work a miracle.

The Sycamine and a Grain of Mustard Seed

Christ Jesus said that those with enough faith could bring about a miracle:

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17)

If you believe in the God and Christ Jesus, you have to believe this His word: A miracle can be achieved by a man with enough faith.  But, what miracles does a man with enough faith want?  At least, it is thought that if a man with little or no faith in the God wants any miracles, he cannot achieve any miracles.

In addition, there are some people who have super-natural power with which they can achieve miracles to our eyes.  Do they all have enough faith?  Further, are there any conditions or restrictions on a miracle we want to achieve with our faith, if we should wish to cause any miracle?  

Can we bring peace to Ukraine, stop the coronavirus pandemic, or make the poor rich with our faith?  Or what faith is needed for us to bring peace to Ukraine, stop the coronavirus pandemic, or make the poor rich?  It is thought that we have to have faith big enough or pure enough to cause these miracles.  At least, it is thought naturally that we have to wish peace, well-beings and health of people, and happiness of the poor above anything we are enjoying in our daily lives.  In other words, beyond any our own material interests, profits, and  happiness we must wish peace, well-beings and health of people, and happiness of the poor.  If we love any our own material interests, profits, and  happiness more than peace, well-beings and health of people, and happiness of the poor, our faith should not be enough to cause such miracles.

And, a man with faith beyond any his own material interests, profits, and  happiness should not want a tree to be plucked by the root and planted in the sea without any reasons or for a reason to show his own power so as to be respected by others.  In other words, as long as we get material profits or happiness from the war in Ukraine, the coronavirus pandemic, or existence of the poor, no matter if we happen to wish occasionally peace in Ukraine, end of the coronavirus pandemic, or salvation of the poor, no miracles should happen.     

But, if we have faith in the God based on which we wish salvation of people who are now suffering in the war in Ukraine, the coronavirus pandemic, and poverty, miracles should be caused.  But in most of cases, we neglect those now suffering in the war in Ukraine, the coronavirus pandemic, and poverty so as to keep our own peace, well-beings, and wealth.  We may have general compassion to them, but we will reject any sacrifice of our own to save them.

In the case of the sycamine, if we want to make a profit by selling the tree but we find somebody drowning in the sea and we want to save the man, wishing the tree to move into the sea so that the drowning man can hold the tree to be saved, a miracle should occur with the sycamine moving into the sea.        

Yet, Satan will tell us that they, who are now suffering in the war, pandemic, or poverty, have nothing to do with our material happiness, so that it is better for us to just forget about them and pursue our daily material happiness. 

Indeed, to have faith enough to be regarded as a grain of mustard seed to the eyes of the God is so difficult, since even if we think that our faith is as large as the Himalayas, our faith can be smaller than a grain of mustard seed to the eyes of the God.  

We are still like a rich young man who was disappointed and left Christ Jesus when he was told by Him to sell all he had, give money obtained by selling his assets, etc. to the poor, and follow Christ Jesus.  But, if we pray for peace, well-beings and health of others, and salvation of the poor everyday, the effect of the prayer might become as larger as a grain of mustered seed to the eyes of the Holy Mother, Christ Jesus, or the God.

"in the name of the only begotten Son of God" - Wealth Leads to the Hells, But This Trend Should be Stopped

 

Wealth Leads to the Hells, But This Trend Should be Stopped

A majority of Americans believe that there is the afterlife and the spirit world.  But, most of them seem not to worry about their fate there: whether they are accepted in Heaven or they will have to go to the hells.

According to Swedenborg, the reason why some people would go to the hells is that they love to see others suffer, being tormented, and they want to think that they are greater or more blessed than they are; and it is only in the hells that they can enjoy this pleasure.  Therefore, such people would voluntarily go to the hells in the afterlife or the spirit world.

Even in this world, most of rich men love to see the poor suffering and think that they are greater or more blessed than the poor.  Therefore, they don't help the poor.  The more they see the poor, the more pleasure they feel.  Such rich men would go to the hells after their death in this world.  They already live in the hells while living in this world.   

Even if they are allowed to enter Heaven, they cannot enjoy this pleasure there, since Heaven is the place where the poor and the weak become happy.  Souls of those rich men would go to the hells where they can make the poor and the weak suffer so that they can feel twisted pleasure and enjoy a sense of superiority.  If they cannot find the poorer and the weaker, they will attack each other to control and rule the other.  So, the feature of the hells is a mad desire to suppress others and enjoy superiority.  But, such a sin cannot be tolerated in Heaven.

Most of people want to be rich while living in this world.  But, some rich men want to see the poor suffering more than simply enjoying riches.  Therefore, this world becomes a kind of hells.

For example, some priests or persons of religion help the poor in poor countries or poor streets in rich countries, but they never become one of them; they remain being privileged helpers.

So, to be allowed to enter Heaven, one has to learn what poverty is and abandon a desire to have a sense of superiority.  The sin that one enjoys his status of being rich without knowing what poverty is so grave that it will lead the man to the hells.  That is why Christ Jesus told that rich men cannot enter Heaven while poor men can.

As people have pursued wealth in these 2,000 years while they know the words of Christ Jesus, it is no wonder that the God would forsake the people.  Therefore, we will soon face WWIII and great natural disasters. 

Indeed, when a man wants to be rich without minding their fates of going to the hells and being tortured there, they will do any evil things or even sell their souls to Satan.  And, in the worst case, they do so to enjoy inflicting the poor and get a sense of superiority.  As a result, this world becomes a hell.

Some people say that a man is born again in this world after death to repeat his life and enhance his spiritual status through experiencing hardship.  But, in most cases, the man would try to be rich in this world, forgetting the truth in the spirit world.  And, he will go to the hells again after his death.  This negative spiral should be stopped.  And, to solve this problem, we will have to face the Last Judgment leading to WWIII and the great natural disasters in this century.      

We have to suffer the great tragedy where the current material civilization will collapse in this century so as to stop this vicious circle.

John 3, King James Version
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
