Heaven Exists

What does Isalm teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?

Jannah (Arabic: جنّة‎ Jannah), an eternal place for Muslims, is the Islamic conception of paradise. The Arabic word Jannah is a shortened version meaning simply "Garden". According to Islamic eschatology, after death, one will reside in the grave until the appointed resurrection on Yawm al-Qiyāmah. Muslims believe that the treatment of the individual in the life of the grave will be according to his or her deeds in the worldly life. Jannah is often compared to Christian concepts of Heaven. According to Muslim belief, everything one longs for in this world will be there in Paradise.

What does Judaism teach about Heven or the paradise in the other world?

Shamayim (שמים), the Hebrew word for "heaven", denotes a component of the cosmos, the other elements being the earth (erets) and the underworld (sheol). Shamayim is the dwelling place of God and other heavenly beings and, in post-Hebrew Bible literature (including the Christian New Testament), the abode of the righteous dead. 

The Biblical authors pictured the earth as a flat disk floating in water, with the heavens above and the underworld below.[2] The raqiya (firmament), a solid inverted bowl above the earth, coloured blue by the cosmic ocean, kept the waters above the earth from flooding the world.[3] From about 300 BCE the three-tiered cosmos was largely replaced by a newer Greek model which saw the earth as a sphere at the centre of a set of seven concentric heavens, one for each visible planet plus the sun and moon, with the realm of God in an eighth and highest heaven, but although several Jewish works from this period have multiple heavens, as do some New Testament works, none has exactly the formal Greek system.

How did Christ Jesus refer to Heaven?

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. 

Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 

Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses. 

Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven. 

Mark 13:27 And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven. 

Mark 13:32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. 

Mark 16:19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

So, if you respect these religions, you would naturally believe existence of Heaven.

But we cannot enter Heaven as a living man.  Only our soul can.  Heaven is not a material world consisting of elemental particles, atoms, molecules, etc.  We have to leave our physical bodies in this world to be accepted in Heaven.

"Mary, and Joseph, and the babe" - God is Miracle

Tokyo

God is Miracle

It is apparent that God exists.

There is no doubt about existence of God who created this universe and more, including the spiritual world.

But why must God exist?  If God did not exist, of course, this universe doesn't exist and hence we, mankind, don't exist.

This is the last question for mankind.  Why must God exist, though without God there would be nothing?  In the case, there is no space and time.  Even no spirits exist.  No angels and devils should exist.  It is total naught.

We cannot even imagine the world without God, since the world doesn't exist and we don't exist.  No stars, no sun, and no moon are in the sky.  And there would be no sky at all.

In addition, though God exists, this world looks incomplete.  Among human beings created by God, there are many bad guys.  In the spiritual world, there are evil spirits.  What God has created actually includes such horrible negative factors.  But, if God does not exist, even no bad guys and no devils exist.  Then it looks like it is more perfect without God.

So, the answer is that the existence of God is beyond our understanding.  We cannot know why God must exist.  And further, we cannot understand why God has created this incomplete world.



By the way, this evening I saw three cars at one location of a narrow path in a city.  One was going to enter a garage of a house on the path; another is going out from a small parking lot to the path; and the other is slowly passing by me.

All these cars have two "0"s on their license plates that have four-digit numbers on them explicitly except that the fourth digit with 0 is not indicated (ex. 67-89 or 1-23).

These three cars have such numbers as 11-00, 50-50, and 6-00.

The probability of XX-00 is 9/10,000; the probability of Y0-Y0 is 9/10,000, and (0)Z-00 is 9/10,000.

And, all the cases happened one time at one location: 27/1,000,000,000,000 or 27 per trillion, or one in 37 billion.

If I see 1,000 cars per day, 37 billion cars need 37 million days, which means 100,000 years.  

Therefore, this evening an event that would occur once in 100 thousand years in Japan has really happened just before my eyes without being known by anybody, including drivers of those cars, since I was only at a position where I could read all these licence plates of the cars.

And if God did not exist, there would be no probability and no possibilities of anything.  Conversely, God exists with all the probabilities covering 100% perfect to 0% of total incompleteness.  I may be positioned at 0.000000001%.

Every 10 Years after 1945

Every 10 years after 1945, when WWII ended, Japan faced some grave incidents even in its relation to the world.

I think it is necessary just to make a note about the following incidents:

In 1945, the Empire of Japan surrrendred to the US and other allied forces after Hirsohima/Nagasaki atmic bomb attacks and the invasion of the Soviet Union to Manchuria.

In 1955, Sony luanched its first tarnsisitor radio.

Morinaga Milk Industry Co., Ltd. caused an arsenic poisoning incident as its milk products contained arsenic, harminng 13,000 children, including 130 deaths.

In 1965, anti-Vietnam War movement was started with establishment of Beheiren by young liberalists.

Japan and South Korea normalized their relationship.

In 1975, Queeen Elizabeth II visited Japan.

The Emperor and Empress visited the US.

In 1985, Japan Airlines Flight 123, a Boeing 747SR, crashed on Osutaka Ridge, 150 km northwest of Tokyo with 15 crew members and 505 of the 509 passengers on board dead.  It was the world largest air accident as an accident involving only one airplane.

A criminal group intimidated food companies such as Ezaki Glico Co., Ltd. and Morinaga Milk Industry by poisoning their foods in convenience stores mainly around Osaka.

In 1995, the Hanshin-Kobe earthquake killed 6,000 residents in regions adjacent to Osaka, the largest city in western Japan.

The Aum Shinrikyo cult launched sarin gas attacks in Tokyo subway lines, killing a score of people and damaging 6,000 commuters.

In 2001, Al Qaeda attacked New York and Washington DC with hijacked commercial airpalnes, killing 3,000 people, including 24 Japanese.

In 2004, the off-Sumatra earthquake caused a big tsunami to kill 220,000 people.

In 2005, Pope John Paul II died.

Anti-Japanese demonstration happened in Beijing, China, with 10,000 people.

A train accident occurred in Amagasaki, near Osaka, killing 107 passengers.  It greatly shocked metropolitan residents in Japan.

In 2011, the off-Norheast Japan earthquake caused a big tsunami to kill 18,000 people.

In the wake of the tsunami, the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant ran into a big accident with explosion at three reactor buildings and a large scale radioactive contamination.

The leader of Al Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, was killed by US commandoes.

In 2015,...



The future is still unknown.  But, Japan has really entered a challenging period with all other nations in the world, since it is 2000 years after the emergence of Christ Jesus.

Uncontrolled Plane and Weapons

There was one case that a large commercial jet was hit by a surface-to-air missile fired by a terrorist to lose all the hydraulic control systems of wings, etc. but eventually land on without a loss of people, though it was a cargo plane.

It was over the Baghdad airport around 2003.

A French female journalist who happened to be with the terrorist group at the time of firing the missile said after the incident, "There are many weapons that have been not yet accounted for in Iraq."

Then more than a decade later, it has become clear that ISIL got them.

"Arise, and take up thy bed" - Capitalism vs. Islam

Tokyo

Capitalism vs. Islam

The evil of capitalism is that bad guys make big fortunes while good guys have to suffer poverty.

And these bad guys naturally bribe politicians and acquire friendships from bureaucrats.  They can expect that lawmakers who are financially supported by them would always act as their deputies in the parliament or congress.  And, civil servants whose major concern is career progress would not stand against capitalists and politicians who have financial and administrative power.

However, to be super rich or become a capitalist, you don't need to be honest, generous, pious, friendly, and responsible.  You just need luck and ability to make money more than others.

If you are not honest, generous, pious, friendly, and responsible, you can more concentrate on money making.  So, cold-blooded guys have more chances to be rich and capitalists than good guys.

Accordingly, the society ruled by capitalism is essentially not blessed.  It is a cursed society.  Because leaders lack virtues God wants a man to possess, such society would fall in a fatal tragedy sooner or later.

While they act rationally, their rule continues.  If they concede that democracy and social justice are necessary to avoid revolution and uprising of poor people and accept fairness and justice to a necessary degree, they can continue their rule.  But, if their greed and arrogance go beyond a certain level, any debacle such as the former Great Depression or subprime loan crisis could happen.

Capitalism is a system where bad, biased, arrogant, and foolish guys take power with their rich to control poor people.  Leaders in capitalistic society are not great guys in terms of morality, humanity, justice, a spirit of duty and responsibility, and true understanding of meanings of various factors in the human world and the nature.

Of course, mankind cannot manipulate well socialism and communism.  A society based on such ideology can be worse than capitalism, since leaders therein would suppress freedom of people.

As we cannot destroy capitalism by physical force, we have to cope with the evil of capitalism following holy teachings, since it is God that has created this universe after all.

Not a system or an organization of religion but a linkage with God can stop the evil of capitalism. And for an individual to link to God, he or she needs a holy book or the word of God.  And Islam is the religion that requests adherence to its holy book, the Koran, from its followers.

That is also why Muslims would not abandon their religion while they know if they convert to Christianity they can be richer like Europeans and Americans.

Conversely, without Muslims in the world, capitalists would exert more evil in the world.

Mar 2:11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.

"the angel said unto them, Fear not" - Too Foolish Capitalism

Venus in the west sky near Mt. Fuji  and Jupiter in the east sky at dusk.  
Under the line connecting the two stars exists a notable shinto shrine that is also on the line connecting Mt. Fuji and Mt. Tsukuba.  Now a wonder on the ground has matched another wonder in the sky. A great thing should happen in Japan.  

Too Foolish Capitalism

Capitalism means producing goods and providing services only for the purpose of earning money.

As this mode of economic activities was accepted or looked accepted by the public, most of rich people justified their cold-blood business and private behaviors referring to capitalism as if capitalism allowed them to neglect humanity in their business and private lives.

However, in old days or before capitalism became prevalent, humane factors were essential in any business and private lives of people.  People who produced any goods took care of consumers and the environment.  Their goods should be good to them.  Or those makers should follow rules set by a religion or communities.  They were requested to understand value consumers respected.  They produced and sold goods not only for money but for harmony with consumers and care for their lives.  If consumers became happy, they would be happy too regardless of an amount of profits.

But capitalists believe that essentially they are allowed to concentrate on their own profits and benefits.  The only measure they respect is market.  If their goods are accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are good.   If their goods are not accepted well in market, they think that they and their goods are bad.  It has nothing to do with morality and ethics.

To check unrestricted selfish behaviors of capitalists, the public needs democracy.  Democracy allows citizens to fight capitalists who are neglecting people's lives, safety, health, and interest.  But, ordinary citizens have to work in companies, factories, plants, or shops run by capitalists or their deputies.  Most of citizens share interest and some part of profits with capitalists and candidates of capitalists.  Though they have voting right in the democratic society, they don't want lawmakers and other politicians they choose to act totally against capitalism.

So, currently, it is as if government were complementing capitalists who put little or no weight on and pay little or no respect to human values, humanity, social traditions, communities, human relationships, and justice and love.

Capitalists think that it is a justifiable act to produce and sell weapons to anybody, including terrorists, if the purpose is to make money.  But, capitalists might object against a claim that weapons should be sold for the purpose of pursuing justice.  Any act for making money should be allowed, according to their philosophy.  But an act for pursuing justice, freedom, or love is not supported by them, though they would keep silent if their goods are sold in a process of such an act.

Put simply goods should be produced and services should be provided for the purpose of making consumers happy but not for making money.

(Of course, capitalists pretend that they are making products to contribute to happiness and welfare of consumers and the public.  But it is a big lie in advertisement.  They are wolves in sheep's clothing.)

Capitalism should be avoided, since it is too cheap and frivolous.  Fools who cannot appreciate human values but can only understand power of money are promoting capitalism.

Put more simply, capitalism should be avoided, since capitalists are dangerously too foolish.

The world that does not allow capitalists to emerge is a good world.  In this context, the Islamic world seems better than the world occupied by present-day Christians and Judaists.


(As capitalists concentrate on making money while citizens, consumers and workers pay respect for other human and humane matters sacrificing money making, return on capital would be naturally and inherently larger than a growth rate of economy: r > g.)

"the tree of life also in the midst of the garden" - God Designed the Universe

Around Tokyo; Mt. Tsukuba (877 meters)　50 Km  Far

God Designed the Universe

When mankind did not know modern physics, they wondered what the moon, the sun, the galaxy, stars, and the whole universe were.

They could freely imagine that there was Heaven in the sky and the hell beneath the ground.

But today we know that the human body and all the living things as well as any inanimate matter in this universe are mainly built with three elemental particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, though light is unique as it has no mass.

We also know that this whole universe was created 13.8 billion years ago as a very tiny entity with extraordinarily explosive energy.  And the universe is now expanding, being accelerated toward eternity.

So, we have to judge whether this universe was designed by God or by chance.

There are no random elements in this universe with the diameter of 46.5 billion light years and in the minute world within an atomic nucleus with the diameter of 1/10^16 cm that could cause collapse of an atom and the whole universe.  They are all built in an ordinary manner, though any random elements at any level of this structure from an atom to the whole universe could destroy them at any moment.

This universe was apparently designed by a super genius who must be God.

So, we have to think why God created these atoms and this great universe.  It is for mankind.  Then, we have to think about why God created these atoms and this great universe for mankind.

I think it is true religion.   We have to establish this religion by thinking why God wanted mankind in the material universe but not only in the spiritual universe.

Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

Gen 2:10 And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.
Gen 2:11 The name of the first is Pison: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold;
Gen 2:12 And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone.
Gen 2:13 And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.
Gen 2:14 And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

"let him hear what the Spirit saith" - Why Must God Interfere with this World?

Tokyo

Why Must God Interfere with this World?

Without human beings on the earth, there must be no evil deeds and acts on the earth.

So, more than three million years ago when no human species was yet established, this world on the earth had no phenomena caused by evil spirits.  The world must have been wonderful even when dinosaurs were dominant.

But today, we can see how the nature of this planet has been contaminated by industry driven by evil capitalism.  We can also see sinful acts and crimes human beings have committed, being driven by evil spirits.

Before the human history began, this universe did not include any evil things.  But desire, greed, hatred, and other foolish and inhumane characteristics of mankind generated so many evil things in this universe.  After the Big Bang till the rise of mankind, this universe had been clean and benign without any evil elements, though it looked so dynamic, violent, and horrible sometimes.

If intellectual faculties of mankind were very low, there must be little damage on the earth.  With evil minds and high mental ability, mankind has been destroying the nature and their own members through foolish industrial activities and bloody wars.

Was this earth was created for evil spirits to harm and pollute it in exchange of satisfying human desire?

Something is wrong.

Were intellectual living things that would emerge on the earth inherently destined by any natural laws or universal inevitability for abusing the nature and their members to satisfy their desire?

Everything mankind has invented and created using their high mental ability is turning to be means with which evil people make a fortune or satisfy their desire.  Even religions are being abused by bad guys, no to mentions science, technologies, laws, and ideologies.

If there is no God, mankind would go along this evil course till the end, continuing to damage the earth and humanity.  If mankind should expand their active scope to Mars and other celestial objects, still the rule of evil spirits would continue.

But, if there is God and He cannot accept this foolish expansion of the human world, He must interfere at a certain point of history.  It was actually 2000 years ago when Christ Jesus was born.  And it should be today 2000 years after the birth of Christ Jesus.

This evil world created by mankind on the earth must be wiped away by God who must hate spiritual and material contamination of the earth and human minds.

"son of man, be not afraid of them" - A Mother and her Child in Old Japan

Tokyo

A Mother and her Child in Old Japan

Once in Japan or in and before the 19th century, unique child adoption was practiced in some local areas.

A poor mother would sometimes travel around with her little child she could not raise by herself.  From a village to another and from a house to another, such a mother asked free accommodation for the night.  No villagers would rather reject such a request, though they knew what she hoped for.

One of such mothers asked a night's lodging and a meal from a farm house.  The mother and her child took a humble supper with the host family.  They didn't talk much.  And later family members retired to sleep in different rooms.  But the mother and child was left in the dining room with a wooden floor and the "irori" hearth.  They slept around the hearth set in the central part of the wooden floor.

She could have woken up early in the morning to leave the house, leaving her child.  Then, the host family would have naturally taken the child as an adopted one.  It was a common custom in some local areas in Japan.

But in this particular case, she thought that her little boy would have to sleep on the wooden floor after he was adopted while other family members would sleep in "tatami" mattress rooms.  She could not bear the image.  So, she took her child with her to continue travelling and finding a suitable house.

Finally in one village house, she could entrust her poor child to an old woman who took the little boy to her sleeping chamber for the night, saying, "Oh, poor little child. I will take this one into my bedding."

Later, this child grew up to be a full-fledged worker, and one day he visited a village where his mother had once come from.  But he didn't return and live in the village.   He continued to live in the village where he had been adopted, inheriting some fortune from the fostering family, though it was not large as he was an adopted member.

So, once in Japan or in and before the 19th century, unique child adoption was practiced in some local areas.

Three Planes at Dusk

At yesterday's dusk, I saw a military transport plane flying 2 km high toward Tokyo.  While I was watching it, something fast came to pass by it in the sky.  It was a jet fighter flying at almost the same altitude.

The sun was going down leaving the last glow of the day.  It looked bright yellow heavily tinged with red, whose glimpse I could follow till it faded over woods.

My eyes were tracking the jet fighter, now just a tiny black dot in the grey sky.  Then another military transport plane appeared from the sky over Tokyo.  Its path crossed the course of the first transport plane.  They didn't collide against each other, eventually.

Whatever the three airplanes symbolized, I was in the middle of the winter around Tokyo so peacefully.

"cloven tongues like as of fire" - 250 Million Year Cycle

Tokyo

250 Million Year Cycle

Our solar system circulates around to the center of our galaxy.

It takes 250 million years for our solar system to make circuit.

And 250 million years ago a great extinction of living things occurred on the earth. When our solar system was on the same position 250 million years ago as it is today, up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species became extinct.

This event is called the Permian–Triassic (P–Tr) extinction event, which paved the way for dominance of dinosaurs though it took 10 million years for creatures on the earth came to flourish again after the the P–Tr extinction.

For God to create mankind, He had to first destroy most of creatures on the earth 250 million years ago and then He had to destroy dinosaurs 65 million years ago.

In other word, human beings might have been born 250 million years ago, but the emergence of the human species needed the preceding era of dinosaurs' dominance.

In my theory, we are now entering a dangerous era in the scale of the galaxy whose diameter is 100,000 light years.  Something in the earth might be influenced by the position of the solar system in the galaxy, and it might trigger a long-term and large-scale natural disaster like simultaneous eruptions of tens of thousands of volcanoes on the earth.  If so, up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species would get extinct, probably, within tens of thousands of years.

And afterward, a new type of human species might dominate over the earth.  In the next time that the solar system comes to the same position within the galaxy as it is today, the earth might not have a memory of our civilization and religions.      

Indeed, only God is great!

The sun is about 26,000 light-years from the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, which is about 80,000 to 120,000 light-years across (and less than 7,000 light-years thick). We are located on on one of its spiral arms, out towards the edge. It takes the sun -and our solar system- roughly 200-250 million years to orbit once around the Milky Way. In this orbit, we are traveling at a velocity of about 155 miles/sec (250 km/sec).

Professors Medvedev and Melott of the University of Kansas have a different theory based on the same regular motion.  As the Sun ventures out "above" the galactic plane, it becomes increasingly exposed to the cosmic ray generating shock front that the Milky Way creates as it ploughs through space.  As we get closer to this point of maximum exposure, leaving the shielding of the thick galactic disk behind, the Kansas researchers hold that the increasing radiation destroys many higher species, forcing another evolutionary epoch.  This theory also matches in time with the dinosaur extinction.

The Hand Must Rot Off

Most of Japanese have never read the Bible.

But those who have never read the Koran are  more than those who have never read the Bible.

In the Japanese version of the Koran, Allah is often angry and scolds people with sever words.  It is not the image most of Japanese have of God.  Allah also accuses the ungodly and unbelievers in a manner that looks simply horrible to Japanese.  Allah in the Koran is too rough for Japanese to accept Him.

But the English translation of the Koran might sound a little more moderate than the Japanese version.

JESUS DESCRIBES WHO WAS TO COME AFTER HIM  

We read from the lips of Jesus (saas), in the Gospel of John, as he is speaking to his disciples, the following prophesy: "And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you."(John 14:16-17) Jesus (saas) goes on to say: "But the Counselor, the Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you." (John 14:26), and further: "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me" (John 15:26) and Further:  

"Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you."(John 16:7-14).  

Notice that in various places this Prophesy is for, what is referred to either as a "Comforter" or a "Counselor." -Both of these words are the translations of what is the same word in the Greek manuscript, the Greek word "Paraclete." 

'PARACLETE' = 'AHMAD'!!! 

There has been much confusion over these verses, and who/what the Paraclete is, although the traditionally accepted view today is that these verses refer to the Holy Spirit. However it is important to note, that this verse is rather ambiguous, and many Christian historians make an interesting note. From The Anchor Bible, Doubleday & Company, Inc, Volume 29A, p. 1135 we read the following VERY interesting note: "…scholars like Spitta, Delafosse, Windisch, Sasse, Bultmann, and Betz have doubted whether this identification is true to the original picture and have suggested that the Paraclete was once an independent salvific figure, later confused with the Holy Spirit." 

So this gets us thinking. A lot of early Christians did NOT interpret this to be a Spirit. Very interesting! But, the plot thickens! Let us take another glance at the word "Paraclete." 

Paraclete comes from the Greek Root word Parakletos. From this same root word comes it's derivitive, Periklytos, which means, "Praised one." Does anyone know what the Arabic word for "Praised one" is? If you guessed "Muhammad" you are right!

Today, the Western society is losing morals.

Along with advancement of capitalism and commercialism, Christianity has lost influential power  on people.   Greedy and immorality have become the norm.  Traditional moral codes of conduct have been neglected in pursue of wealth.

Major companies and influential businesses are advertising their goods and services by using TV and diffusing very indecent commercial messages.  They are arousing lust of people.  They are making consumers buy more goods and services by presenting a fantasy of enjoying rich lives.  Churches cannot cope with this trend of desire-driven economy.  As a result, while being indecent, greedy, or abnormal, Europeans and Americans think they can be blessed by God to be admitted into Heaven after death.  Commercialism has finally brainwashed Christians in Europe and America.

Today, no Christians blame Wall Street for its greedy and Hollywood for its indecency and abnormality.  They never blame the British royal family and the noble class for the same reasons.

Even the Pope looks like losing holy and spiritual power.  He does not live like a homeless person.  He is just one of a member of the European high society.

Then what would God do to Europeans and Americans?

He might use Muslims who look more pious and more obedient to God.  God might show that He loves poor Muslims than rich Christians.  Or He might request Western Christians to show that their faith is stronger than that of Muslims.

But is is very horrible that this challenge for Christians against Muslims is posed through acts of terrorists or murders who call themselves Muslims.

Maybe through this conflict between Western Christian countries and Islamic terrorists, Christians might feel responsible for this world contaminated by capitalism and commercialism.  When this de-facto war between Western countries and Islamic terrorists is over, Christians in the world might come to be closer to Muslims, at least, in enthusiasm for practicing their religion.

And, as Christ Jesus is God, He must have foreseen the rise of Islam long before the birth of holy Muhammad in 570.  But the Bible might have omitted His critical words on Islam for some reasons.  We may have now only a vague prophecy on Islam in the Christian Gospels.

Mar 2:2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
Mar 2:3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
Mar 2:4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
