"A Prophet? Yea"

The Ministry of Finance Building, Tokyo


President Mr. Barack Obama will reportedly visit Japan on Friday next week, introducing one-day delay into the original schedule due to the spree of killing at the Fort Hood, Texas.

It is said the suspect Major Nidal Malik Hasan was a Muslim born in America to the parents who immigrated from Jerusalem.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8345944.stm

I don't know what difference is there between Hispanic (Catholic) Americans and Muslim Americans when they identify themselves as patriotic Americans devout to American spiritualism, since the mainstream religion of America is a new type of Christianity/Judaism complex which Catholics and Muslims outside the United States cannot fully understand to respect such Americans.

Isn't it time to have the mainstream religion of America evolve into a new type of Christianity-Judaism-Islam complex?

Anyway, a wise man or woman never pulls the trigger to blue forces.




SECTION I: The Bible and Climate Change

I-1: Snow

Snow is sometimes, though not often, mentioned in the Old Testament, but a few in the New Testament related to the era of the Roman Empire.

----------
Common in Palestine in winter (Psalm 147:16). The snow on the tops of the Lebanon range is almost always within view throughout the whole year. The word is frequently used figuratively by the sacred writers (Job 24:19; Psalm 51:7; 68:14; Isaiah 1:18). It is mentioned only once in the historical books (2 Samuel 23:20). It was "carried to Tyre, Sidon, and Damascus as a luxury, and labourers sweltering in the hot harvest-fields used it for the purpose of cooling the water which they drank (Proverbs 25:13; Jeremiah 18:14). No doubt Herod Antipas, at his feasts in Tiberias, enjoyed also from this very source the modern luxury of ice-water."

http://eastonsbibledictionary.com/snow.htm
----------

Herod Antipas (20 BC – after 39 AD) was the king of Judea during the lifetime of Jesus Christ.

In the King James Version of the New Testament, there are only the following snow-related sentences:

Matthew 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

Mark 9:3 And his raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them.


I-2: Ice

Only three sentences include the word "ice" all through the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Job 6:16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:

Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

Psalms 147:17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?

And the word "frozen" is used only once throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament.

Job 38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.


So, as expected from the study of the Roman Empire, the eras from the Alexander the Great to the fall of Jerusalem or the compilation of the Gospels throughout the sub-eras of Caesar and Jesus Christ looked like truly warm or even sub-tropical around the Mediterranean.


SECTION II: Scientific Evidences

Indeed, scientists found recently that till the fall of the Roman Empire after the fall of Jerusalem or the compilation of the Gospels the weather was very dry around the east Mediterranean:

----------
Decline of Roman Empire

Updated on Saturday, December 06, 2008, 00:00 IST

An international team has carried out a study and claims to have found evidence of dry weather from 100 AD to 700 AD that actually coincided with the fall of both Roman and Byzantine rule in the region.

Based on chemical signatures in a piece of calcite from a Soreq Cave from Soreq Cave located in the Stalactite Cave Nature Reserve near Jerusalem, the researchers from Israel and the United States have pieced together a detailed record of the area's climate from 200 BC to 1100 AD to reach the conclusion.

http://www.zeenews.com/from-the-past/2008-12-06/488882news.html
----------

Indeed, this is the starting point of the modern Europe through the Middle Ages.

Then emerging modern Europe has not been sub-tropical like the decaying Roman Empire, since peoples emerging were used to live surrounded by ice and snow in a freezing environment.

----------
Between the 5th and 8th centuries, new peoples and powerful individuals filled the political void left by Roman centralized government. Germanic tribes established regional hegemonies within the former boundaries of the Empire, creating divided, decentralized kingdoms like those of the Ostrogoths in Italy, the Visigoths in Hispania, the Franks and Burgundians in Gaul and western Germany, the Angles and the Saxons in Britain, and the Vandals in North Africa.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Ages#Early_Middle_Ages
----------

From a historical point view, today's global warming can put an end to today's Europeans' hegemony.

It is so, since they were from snow, ice, and a frozen environment as the history tells.

That must be why Europeans are the most afraid of global warming.

It is so, since with global warming we might return to the glory of the Roman Empire and further to the holy climate of the Jesus Christ's era, leaving cold-heated European races.

Haven't you ever thought this way?

*** *** *** ***

Anyway, a sudden change of climatic environments around you might disturb you physically or psychologically while you are not aware of disorder deep inside.

Or a certain type of viruses might suffer the similar disorder, resulting in the today's pandemic of the swine influenza.

Anyway, in Japan, they say that only fools do not catch a cold.

A wise man or woman sometimes has a strange or rare chronic illness, since I have some evidences...



(Blue Star - someone's original sound
http://players.music-eclub.com/?action=player&sid[]=239627)



Mat 11:7 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?

Mat 11:8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses.

Mat 11:9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet.

Mat 11:10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

"Knock, and It Shall Be Opened unto You"

(Finance Ministry of Japan)



Now, a Q&A session between ministers of the Japanese Government, led by Prime Minister Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, and Opposition lawmakers is being broadcast live on TV from the National Diet (House of Councilors) in Tokyo to all over Japan.

U.S. military bases in Japan can be always a point at issue, if a regime change occurs.

For example, the German Government bears the stationing costs of U.S. troops in Germany which reach US$860 million per yearas of 2003 or so.

The South Korean Government bears the stationing costs of U.S. troops in South Korea which reach US$850 million per year as of 2003 or so.

The Japanese Government bears the stationing costs of U.S. troops in Japan which reach US$4.62 billion per year as of 2003 or so.

And there are total 135 locations of American military bases, training facilities, and maneuvering grounds in Japan, which the American Army, Navy, Air Forces, and Marines can use so freely.

The total area of these installations is larger than that of all the Tokyo 23 Wards (metropolitan part of Tokyo Prefecture) combined.

(http://www.t-ichida.gr.jp/mado/data/2004/mado_20041021-02.html)

As China and Russia are now friendly nations to America, the U.S. Government must review the need for keeping so many bases in Japan.



SECTION I: The Second Japanese in Jerusalem

It is Genichiro Fukuchi (1841 - 1906) that visited Jerusalem as the second among the Japanese in 1873.

(http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%A6%8F%E5%9C%B0%E6%BA%90%E4%B8%80%E9%83%8E)

He was chosen as a member of the Iwakura Mission, "a Japanese diplomatic journey around the world, initiated in 1871 by the oligarchs of the Meiji era."

It is because samurai Fukuchi had been already dispatched to Europe in 1861 and 1865 by the Tokugawa samurai government before the Meiji Restoration or the Civil War for Modernization of Japan and the fall of the Tokugawa samurai regime in 1868

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iwakura_Mission

When the mission returned from Europe to Japan, he left the leader Tomomi Iwakura and others to visit Jerusalem alone.

After coming back to Japan, Fukuchi took an initiative in various fields in politics and culture. His influence on the Japanese society in the process of full modernization is comparable with the most respected and appraised cultural figure of the era Yukichi Fukuzawa, also an ex-samurai having served the Tokugawas.

Though how Fukuchi was influenced by his own visit to Jerusalem is not clear, his largest contribution to the Japanese society might be his contribution to promotion of Kabuki, traditional drama performed by male actors.

The famous Kabuki theater in Tokyo was originally built through Fukuchi's initiative and efforts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabuki-za

(I do not personally like kabuki at all, though...)


SECTION II: Other Notable Japanese Visit to Jerusalem

In 1906, notable Japanese author Roka Tokutomi (1868 - 1927) visited Jerusalem since he had become a Christian and corresponded with Leo Tolstoy.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenjir%C5%8D_Tokutomi

*** *** *** ***

It is said that almost one million Japanese people have been already infected by or recovered from the swine influenza.

However, none of Japanese ministers and lawmakers in the budgetary committee room in the Diet wore a mask, as observed on a live TV broadcast this morning.

In Japan, they say beautiful women die young, or at least suffer bad luck.

Of course, some of them might be exceptionally die-hard against their fates nowadays...



Luk 11:5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves;

Luk 11:6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

Luk 11:7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee.

Luk 11:8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth.

Luk 11:9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.

"He Stumbleth Not"

THE DAY OF NO-INFAMY


I have not yet taken a swine-flu vaccine.

But, I am taking some precautions, such as not travelling to New York and Mexico City.

Indeed, some kinds of foods enhance immunizing power of the human body.

And, I purchased an alcohol spray-pump at a nearby supermarket.

Truly, a gate type of alcohol spray facilities normally activated should be installed at entrances of stations, air terminals, and public buildings all over the world.

Anyway, great is a sick man healed by Jesus Christ!


SECTION I: Hideki Tojo Saved 20,000 Judaists

If today 20,000 lives of Judaist Americans are saved by a Japanese, Israel would be forever thankful.

Yet, it happened in the border between Manchuria (Northeast China of today) and the Soviet Union (Russia of today), since Japanese generals held power in Manchukuo, a very special quasi-independent empire of the era.

----------
Kiichiro Higuchi (*, 20 August 1888 - 11 October 1970) was a lieutenant general in the Imperial Japanese Army in World War II.
...
As a major general and the commander of the Harbin Special Branch in 1938, he allowed approximately 20,000 Jewish refugees who had fled Nazi Germany to cross the border from the Soviet Union to Manchukuo. One of his subordinates, Colonel Norihiro Yasue, was responsible for feeding the refugees, settling them in Harbin or Shanghai, or arranging for exit visas.
...
After the surrender of Japan, Stalin demanded that Higuchi be extradited to the Soviet Union to be tried by a military tribunal for war crimes. On receiving word of this, the World Jewish Congress quickly formed a lobby directed at the Supreme Commander of the Allied Powers, General Douglas MacArthur, to prevent Higuchi's extradition and trial. Higuchi, along with Yasue, were subsequently invited to the independence ceremonies of the State of Israel.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiichiro_Higuchi
----------

But, General Kiichiro Higuchi had then a superior and very influential officer in Manchuria, General Tojyo.

Nonetheless, General Hideki Tojo (1884 - 1948) authorized General Higuchi's heroic decision while Nazi Germany raised a protest to the Imperial Government in Tokyo trying to prevent the salvation of the poor Judaists.

General Tojo affirmed his support for General Higuchi against an inquiry from Tokyo, namely the Imperial Ministry of Foreign Affairs who received the strong protest from Nazi Germany.

Accordingly, those Judaists, who had fled Nazis to a Siberian autonomous region Stalin had established for Judasits but had found the Stalin's goodwill to be not substantial at all, could receive big aid from the Imperial Military and the Imperial Government in Tokyo.

Eventually these 20,000 Judaists were allowed to move to Shanghai and then as far as to the United States through Japan before the attack on Pearl Harbor of 1941 where 2,290 U.S. soldiers fell in addition to 48 U.S. civilians.

Yet, as prime minister of the Empire of Japan who authorized the attack on Pearl Harbor, General Tojo was executed in Tokyo after WWII by the Allied Powers, though from 1937 to 1938 he had been chief of staff of the whole Imperial Japanese Army having been stationed in Manchukuo.

(http://hexagon.inri.client.jp/floorA6F_hb/a6fhb100.html)


Note: Today, Tojo Hideki's soul is enshrined at Tokyo Yasukuni Shinto Shrine with other fallen personnel of the Imperial Military.


SECTION II: The First Japanese in Jerusalem

It was in 1619 that the first Japanese man reached Jerusalem in the Japanese and world history.

----------
Petro Kasui Kibe (1587 - July 4, 1639) was a Japanese Christian during 17th century and a Jesuit priest. Before reaching Rome, he became the first Japanese to visit Jerusalem. After he came back to Japan, he was martyred.
...

In "1587," Petro Kibe was born in Kibe, Kunisaki in Bungo (At present, Kibe Kunimi-town Kunisaki-city Ōita Prefecture), Japan. His parents were both Christians.
...
In 1614, he was exiled to Macau due to a deportation order of Christians.
...
He went to Malacca and Goa in India by ship, and then left for Europe on foot via Persia, the Strait of Hormuz and Baghdad, finally becoming the first Japanese Christian to arrive in Jerusalem. After a difficult journey that lasted three years he arrived in Rome after sailing through the Mediterranean Sea.
...
Father Kibe had a hard decision to return to Japan due to the risk of being a martyr as Japan oppressed Christians and Christian priests' entry to Japan was forbidden.
...
He traveled around Southeast Asia, and then finally he succeeded in boarding a ship from Manila to Japan in 1630.
...
He was sent to Edo (Tokyo at present). He met Christovao Ferreira who had already rejected his faith of Christianity, but Kibe strongly recommended Ferreira to return to the faith. Father Kibe was tortured severely, but he never rejected his faith. He even encouraged two other Christians in the "torture hole" who were also being tortured to death. As a result, the infuriated guards pulled him out of the hole and ran him through with a spear.
...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petro_Kasui_Kibe
----------

So, this year 2009 is just the 390th year anniversary for the first Japanese visit to Jerusalem in the Japanese and world history.

*** *** *** ***

The first name of General Hideki Tojo and that of N.Y. Yankee Mr. Hideki Matsui (the 2009 World Series MVP player) sound the same; but Kanji letters used in Japanese writing are different.

So, Mr. Matsui's parents must have never felt any problem or restrictions in naming his son with the specific Kanji letters which simply sound "Hideki."

Rather, Mr. Hideki Matsui shares the same Kanji letter for the first part of his first name (Hide) with that of Japanese Nobe Prize winner Hideki Yukawa, the most respectable physical scientist of Japan.

Finally, the New York Yankees having been spellbound from 2001 to 2008 have been finally released from a yet-unknown curse, owing to the super base-ball player who came from Tokyo in 2003, while EEE Reporter was watching live on TV, around Tokyo, the latter part of the sixth game of the 2009 Major-League-Baseball World Series held in the brand-new Yankee Stadium.





Joh 11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

Joh 11:6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.

Joh 11:7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

Joh 11:8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?

Joh 11:9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.

Joh 11:10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

"Or Do We Look for Another?"

(Kasumigaseki Governmental Office District, Japan)



Yesterday, it was Culture Day in Japan, which was "first celebrated as a national holiday in 1868, when it was called Tenchō-setsu (*), a holiday held in honor of the birthday of the reigning emperor—at that time, the Meiji Emperor."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_Day

When I attended a junior high school here in Japan a long-long time ago, they held a special whole-school event on Culture Day every year.

One year, on that occasion a certain group of pupils and students presented and displayed in a class room various scripts and screenplays used in some TV stations and radio studios nearby, since the middle school was situated on the periphery of a big city.

However, I was not so much impressed with those TV things, though it was a surprise that TV announcers, personalities, and actors and actresses had to learn so many lines and memorize words before going on the air.

Yet, it is still hard to believe that some U.S. presidents in the 20th and 21st centuries can deliver a long address without reading a memo.

(If you want to make a world class of speeches, you would like to refer to EEE Reporter blog postings related to a subject...though I am not good at the art of speeches...)

Anyway, Jesus Christ must not have had a rehearsal before any critical situation.



SECTION I: Power and Wealth

Any pious Christians must admit only power and wealth Jesus Christ admitted.

Any pious Judaists must admit only power and wealth Moses admitted, since he is the last or latest, greatest Israelite Judaism admits.


----------
Religion and Wealth: The Role of Religious
Affiliation and Participation in Early Adult Asset Accumulation*

LISA A. KEISTER, Ohio State University
...
[Click to enlarge.]

My analyses provide clear evidence that being raised Jewish and practicing Judaism as an adult are associated with tremendous gains in wealth.

Table 2 reports unadjusted estimates of adult wealth by religious affiliation in childhood.13 Mean 1998 net worth for the full sample was $134,500. For those raised in Jewish families, the mean was $372,300, more than twice the mean for the full sample. Median net worth, a more unbiased estimate of wealth given the skewness of the wealth distribution, was $48,200 for the full sample. For those raised in Jewish families, the median was more than three times larger at $150,890. The proportion of Jews who have ever inherited is also much higher than the proportion in the full sample. Of those raised in Jewish families, .67 had ever received an inheritance compared to .40 in the full sample. Among those who had inherited at some time, the average inheritance for Jews was $4,713, while the average was less than $2,000 for the full sample. The descriptive statistics suggest that asset allocation may, indeed, account for some of this difference.

The table includes estimates of the proportion of families who own homes and stocks. Of those raised in Jewish families, 56% owned stocks in 1998, while only 24% of those in the full sample were stock owners. The difference in homeownership is much less dramatic. Of the Jewish respondents, 73% owned their own homes, while 65% of the full sample were homeowners.14

The year 1998 is 53 years after the Holocaust.

But, was it all Judaists had achieved in America during the half century?

*** *** *** ***

It was cold yesterday here around Tokyo.

I could see my breath white.

Yet, very late in the night, I saw La Strada (English: The Road), a (1954) Italian neorealist drama directed by Federico Fellini, over a cable TV channel, since it was Culture Day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_strada

Anyway, be a world class, or the Obama class or the W class, of players.



Mat 11:3 And said unto him, Art thou he that should come, or do we look for another?

Mat 11:4 Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see:

Mat 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

Mat 11:6 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.

"Say Ye that the Lord Hath Need of Him"

(Kasumigaseki, Tokyo, the capital of Japan; photos taken by EEE Reporter)



The Yankees are now playing against PHI, 1-6, as it is being broadcast live on TV in Japan.

There is a sweet spot on the bat like on the racket for tennis.

No matter how fast a ball is pitched, if a batter takes it on the sweet spot of his bat at a right angle, he can strike the ball back fast, far, and high without using much power from his arms.

However, swinging the bat to meet a fast ball at 90 miles or more per hour needs strong movement of muscles and bones of the batter. Accordingly, a batter tends to overstrain himself, resulting in missing the sweet-spot matching with the fast ball.

Anyway, if Hideki Matsui is allowed to play as outfielder tonight in America (a holiday's morning in Japan), he would be the first player in the MLB history who plays outfield in the World Series without any such experiences during the season, since he has been a designated hitter all through the 2009 American League games.



SECTION I: Poor Christians and Poor Judaists

Simply hating poverty is too simple for a religion to be of a world class.

But, Judaism hates poverty so simply.

----------
JEWISH MONEY AND ECONOMIC INFLUENCE

...
Forbes business magazine even featured a story in 1999 about this same Rabbi Visotzky, who teaches a monthly religious session to 20 powerful Jewish Manhattan businessmen.

The article is intriguing for its insights on Jewish morality. On the day the reporter attended, the subject of discussion was Genesis 12:10-20. In this part of the Torah, the reader finds the disturbing story of the seminal Jewish patriarch Abraham, who pretends that his pretty wife, Sarah, is his sister so that he may both protect himself and sell her to the Egyptian Pharaoh. (She was, in fact, however incestuous, his half-sister.) [SMITH, M., 1989, p. 138] "This ploy," notes the Forbes reporter, "will not only save his life but also allow him to turn a profit on her sale. Less delicately put, Abraham becomes Sarah's pimp." [LEE, S., 11-10-99] After Abraham reaps payment, God punishes Pharaoh by cursing his land with the plague. The Egyptian leader returns Sarah to Abraham and bans them from his land. "Payoff time again for Abraham," notes the reporter, " -- Pharaoh pays him hush money." [LEE, S., 11-10-99]

Rabbi Visotzky then explained for Forbes the essence, as he saw it, to the biblical tale, quoting a lawyer in his study group who suggested that, "Morality aside, you may not like it, but by the end of the chapter -- let's face it -- Abraham is talking one-on-one with the head of state and he's earned start up costs." Visotzky then adds: "This is what it means to be a small and embattled people who are going to survive at any cost. The only thing that matters is the bottom line." [LEE, S., 11-10-99]

http://www.jewishtribalreview.org/06money.htm
----------

The only thing that matters must be whether God saves any poor Judaist or not, like in the case of Christianity.

The interference of God in any hidden manner can only justify the Abraham's conduct in this episode involving his wife and the king of Egypt.

Put simply, a poor and honest Judaist wants to be out of poverty, since God makes some Judaists rich and others poor; a poor and honest Christian wants to be saved by the God, since poverty is crucially linked with Jesus' Theology.

However, most importantly, rich Judaists in New York in 1999 could not show full respect to Abraham; inevitably they had to face the punishment by God in 2008.

I saw someone in a dream last night.

Anyway, they say that Former President Mr. George W. Bush is going to perform a first-pitch ceremony in the third game of the Japanese Baseball Championship in Tokyo tonight.

Nonetheless, President Mr. Barack Obama can ski if he so wishes when he comes to Japan next week, as I saw a lot of fresh snow shining and covering Mt. Fuji 100 Km far from the Tokyo Area this morning.




Mar 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,

Mar 11:2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.

Mar 11:3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.

Mar 11:4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.

Mar 11:5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?

Mar 11:6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

Mar 11:7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.

In 2001, I was not so interested in the Japanese politics.

In 2008, I was not so interested in the governmental administration in Japan.

It might be simply because I have not been jobless or have had only dull-witted enemies.

Anyway, don't be a living corpse even after your victory in 2008 or 2009, to the eye of the God.



SECTION I: The Unemployed

I do not know how many unemployed persons are there in the U.S. viewing this blog now, but U.S. Department of Labor indicates that 15 million decent U.S. citizens were in the state of joblessness in September 2009.

http://data.bls.gov/PDQ/servlet/SurveyOutputServlet?request_action=wh&graph_name=LN_cpsbref2

However, the number of people who are without jobs in Japan at the end of August 2009 is reportedly about 3.6 million.

Yet, it is still doubtful if the number of the unemployed Chinese is 24 million as of the summer of 2009.

----------
China Facing Unemployment Issues
August 21, 2009 by Stephen Kersey
...
The poor global economy caused approximately 30 million factory workers in China to lose their jobs last year. No one really knows what the employment rate is in China or how many new jobs have been created due to the government holding that information as a secret.

http://www.everyjoe.com/articles/china-facing-unemployment-issues/
----------

It might be actually 240 million.

Anyway always keep in mind the "platinum" ratios of the populations of G3:
JAPAN: AMERICA: CHINA = 1: 2.5: 10


SECTION II: Unemployed Christians and Judaists

How different is a jobless Christian from a jobless judaist in America?

It might be related to the code of labor in each religion

Yet, American Judaists are remarkably Christian in pragmatic terms:

----------
Conservative Judaism Turns Left
Steven Malanga, 10.27.08, 03:55 PM EST
The movement embraces labor and ''social justice.''

...
In her teshuvah, Jacobs notes that Jewish religious law holds that employers must treat workers with dignity and respect, which she interprets to mean a "living wage" in 21st-century America. Though her sources on workers' dignity are largely ancient, her definition of a living wage is based on a model endorsed by the modern labor movement. The teshuvah tells employers that a living wage is "three times the fair market rent on a two-bedroom apartment" in the county where the business is located, or 130% of the poverty line, or 80% of an area's median income.

In New York City, a living wage based on so-called fair market rent amounts to about $23 an hour for a 40-hour workweek, or more than three times the state's minimum wage. In Chicago, it is $16 an hour, or double the Illinois minimum wage.

Joh 11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

Joh 11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)

Joh 11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.

Joh 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.

Is Messiah a Merry Person?


The night before All Saints' Day is called Halloween.

To enjoy Halloween, a man must leave or forget many things, including his troubled money and his great job.

By the way, yesterday, a kingfisher, a partially neon-colored small bird, flew thwartwise before me, flying low and straight to shrubs under the slope.

November 3 is a public holiday in Japan even if you are in Africa or America.


SECTION I: MESSIAH

To your astonishment, even in Japan, people often use the term "Messiah" or "Savior" if not "Christ," since a messiah(s) is expressed as "Kyu-Sei-Syu" in Japanese.

(In this context, Kyu means saving; Sei means the world; and Syu means a lord in Japanese.)

However, it is not the core of Judaism: the concept of Holy Savior of Judaists.

----------
Belief in the eventual coming of the messiah (moshiach) is said to be a basic and fundamental part of traditional Judaism, though not all in the religion agree.[5]

Modern scholars point out that the idea of a messiah is not mentioned anywhere in the Torah (the first five books of the Bible). They suggest that the messianic concept was introduced during the age of the prophets which was later in the history of Judaism.

Traditional Judaism disagrees with these scholars, maintaining instead that messiah has always been a part of Judaism.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah

Nonetheless, the concept of Messiah is at the core of Christianity:

The Christian concept of the Christ/Messiah as "the Word made Flesh" (see also Logos) is fundamentally different from the Jewish and Islamic in that the majority of historical and mainline Christian theologies, as seen within the Nicene Creed, consider Jesus to be God or God the Son.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Messiah
----------

Holy words save the world.

You need at least one man who delivers holy words with absolute authority.

The God can send His Angel to the world for this purpose.

The God can send Part of Himself to the world for this purpose.

But, if mankind does not recognize the Part of the God as God, it must be a very blasphemy.

It is so, since part of the infinite is also infinite to mankind.

Benazir Bhutto was shot to death on December 27, 2007.

If she had survived the terror carried out in Rawalpindi, and become prime minister of Pakistan, the current situation there should be different.

So, the recent surprise visit by Secretary Mrs. Hillary Clinton to Pakistan amid a car bomb that killed 105 in Peshawar looks a little ominous.

India and Pakistan must abolish their nuclear weapons before terrorists gain dangerous access to their arsenals.



SECTION I: "JESUS CHRIST" OR "JESUS GOD"

First of all, why do they call Jesus "Jesus Christ?"

Why do they not call Him "Jesus God?"

If He is God, it is very impolite to call "God" using a minor title "Christ."

Every church on the earth should stop using the irreverent term "Jesus Christ" but correctly say "Jesus God" whenever they refer to Jesus.

But, why does the Vatican authorize the term "Jesus Christ?"

Indeed, Judaists might prefer "Jesus" to "Jesus Christ", and "Jesus Christ" to "Jesus God."


SECTION I: "JESUS CHRIST" OR "JESUS GOD" (2)

The concept of "Christ" belongs to a finite world.

The concept of "God" comes from an infinite world.

To understand human ability to use these terms, we have to first check what the infinite is.

----------
Infinity (symbolically represented by ∞) refers to several distinct concepts – usually linked to the idea of "without end" – which arise in philosophy, mathematics, and theology.[1] The word comes from the Latin infinitas or "unboundedness."

In mathematics, "infinity" is often used in contexts where it is treated as if it were a number (i.e., it counts or measures things: "an infinite number of terms") but it is a different type of "number" from the real numbers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinity
----------

Heaven is what exists above the concept or the domain of the infinite.

Rules of calculation, arithmetic, and mathematics cannot be simply applied to the infinite and Heaven.

Commonsense in the finite human world cannot simply apply to situations so close to the infinite domain and Heaven.

Accordingly, in the Kingdom of God, I suppose "no-money economy" must be the norm.

It is so, sine the central bank of the kingdom should be based on the concept of "infinite."


(My economics is based on the concept of the infinite, which is the world's first formulation and presentation. Any economics theory in future based on the concept of the infinite must be called "EEE-Economics" if not "Jesus' Economics."

Get permission from the God to borrow the infinite dollars from Heaven must be the major task of the central bank.)

Tonight in Japan, Mr. Ichiro Furudachi, who hosts a nightly news show, announced that Foreign Minister Mr. Katsuya Okada will fly to America to talk with Secretary Mrs. Clinton prior to President Mr. Obama's visit to Japan scheduled in November.

The point at issue is planned relocation of a certain U.S. military base in Okinawa, a southern island of Japan, since the Marine's base is in the middle of a town on the island with so many peace-loving people since the end of WWII.

Nonetheless, they should also talk about reduction of world military expenditure as it is increasing as if boundless...

"Love the Lord thy God with All thy Heart"

(Tokyo Station on the Imperial Palace Side)




There is an analogy between American people and so-called "Jews."


SECTION I: CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA

Let's see contents of a CD-ROM an American Catholic group distributes, for our purpose.

I-1. History of "Jews"

Indeed, 500 years before the birth of Jesus Christ is so important for Catholics.

-------------
History of the "Jews"

Of the two terms, Jews and Judaism, the former denotes usually the Israelites or descendants of Jacob (Israel) in contrast to Gentile races; the latter, the creed and worship of the Jews in contrast to Christianity, Mohammedanism, etc. In a separate article we will treat of Judaism as a religious communion with its special system of faith, rites, customs, etc. (See JUDAISM.)

Here, we shall cover the history of the Jews since the return from the Babylonian Exile, from which time the Israelites received the name of Jews (for their earlier history, see ISRAELITES).

This history may be divided into various periods in accordance with the leading phases which may be distinguished in the existence of the Jewish race since the Return in 538 B.C.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08386a.htm
-------------

But, for 500 years, "Jews" could not develop its nation to a great empire like the ones of Alexander the Great and Caesar.

But, One greater than other empires and emperors appeared among the "Jews."


I-2. History of Christian "Jews" and Non-Christian "Jews"

Then, 30 or 40 years after the death of Jesus Christ must be more important for Catholics:

-------------
Up to the reign of Caligula (37-44), the Jews enjoyed, without any serious interruption, the universal toleration which Roman policy permitted to the religion of the subject states. But when that emperor ordered that Divine honours should be paid to him, they generally refused to submit. Petronius, the Roman Governor of Syria, received peremptory orders to use violence, if necessary, to set up Caligula's statue in the Temple at Jerusalem. At Alexandria a fearful massacre took place, and it looked as if all the Jews of Palestine were doomed to perish. Petronius, however, delayed the execution of the decree, and in fact, escaped punishment only through the murder of Caligula in A.D. 41.

The Jews were saved, and with the accession of Claudius, who owed the imperial dignity chiefly to the efforts of Herod Agrippa, a brighter day dawned for them. Through gratitude, Claudius conferred upon Agrippa the whole kingdom of Herod the Great, and upon the Jews at home and abroad valuable privileges. Agrippa's careful government made itself felt throughout the entire community, and the Sanhedrin, now under the presidency of Gamaliel I, St. Paul's teacher, had more authority than ever before. Yet the national party remained in an almost constant state of mutiny, while the Christians were persecuted by Agrippa.

Upon Agrippa's death (A.D. 44), the country was again subjected to Roman procurators, and this was the prelude to the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish people. Nearly all the seven procurators who ruled Judea from A.D. 44 to 66 acted as though they sought to drive its population to despair and revolt. Gradually, the confusion became so great and so general as manifestly to presage the dissolution of the commonwealth.

At length, in A.D. 66, in spite of the precautionary efforts of Agrippa II, the party of the Zealots burst into an open rebellion, which was terminated (A.D. 70) by the capture of Jerusalem by Titus, the destruction of the Temple, and the massacre and the banishment of hundreds of thousands of the unhappy people, who were scattered among their brethren in all parts of the world. According to Eusebius, the Christians of Jerusalem, forewarned by their Master, escaped the horrors of the last siege, by removing in due time to Pella, east of the Jordan.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/08386a.htm
-------------

These 30 or 40 years of the first century after the death of Jesus Christ is the most significant and mysterious period for Judaists and Christians of today, whenever they think of their religion.

It is so, since it shows what would happen if mankind kills somebody three billion and more people later call "God."


SECTION II: COMPARISON WITH AMERICA

It is almost 500 years ago that Christopher Columbus reached part of Americas and a new race "American people" started to appear.

(It was almost 500 B.C. that the race "Jews" was established in Palestine.)

So, if we could compare America to ancient Palestine, "another Christ" must appear in America sooner or later.

Or, if He has already appeared somewhere and died being unnoticed by all, America must be in the significant 30 or 40 years leading to "another fall of Jerusalem."

Indeed, if there is an analogy between ancient Palestine during its 500-year period of 2000 years ago and America during its 500-year period up to today, we can expect some great incidents today in America:

(i) Appearance of Christ

(ii) Revolutionary Movement

(iii) Fall of Washington or New York, otherwise Rome or Jerusalem

*** *** *** ***

Indeed history repeats itself.

But, how bright the world will be with Advent of Jesus Christ if in America, the Vatican, or Israel tomorrow!!





Luk 10:25 And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

Luk 10:26 He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?

Luk 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.

"Greater than All"

History Tells Everything


Minister in charge of financial affairs of Japan Mr. Shizuka Kamei said several months ago to Mr. Fujio Mitarai, the chairman of the most renowned Federation of Economic Organizations, that the chairman was responsible for the recent degradation of the Japanese society as murder cases committed among family members have accounted for a majority of all the homicides in Japan.

Mr. Bill Totten, a respectable American Japanese businessman, wrote in his blog, "Our World," that he really felt the same way as very veteran Minister Mr. Kamei.

It was 20 years ago that Mr. Bill Totten wrote his first book based on his business experiences in Japan since 1969, in order to defend Japan from American antagonism against Japanese exporting power.

He is going to publish a new book which is however not to praise Japan but to show his strong concern about the future of Japan, since America looks so anti-Christian nowadays to him born and raised in California, in my interpretation...

(http://www.ashisuto.co.jp/corporate/totten/column/1190975_629.html)



SECTION I: The Vatican and Judaism

Many Europeans do not respect New York, since Pope is in Rome. Many Judaists do not mind Rome, since their zealous brethren are in Jerusalem.

I-1. Popes and Rothschilds

It is very natural that a Pope as an emperor on the earth sometimes needs financial aide from any super-rich people to maintain his realm, since any small empire on the globe needs money to function.

----------
Arnold Leese - Gentile Folly: the Rothschild's

...
When Pius IX. had sought safety from the revolutionaries of 1848, he needed Rothschild loans to enable him to regain his temporal power:
they did not grant him the loan until he promised to pull down the ghetto walls in Rome and establish freedom of movement and abolition of special taxes for Jews; this he refused to do until 1850, when the loan of thirty-three million francs was granted to him, on that condition.

Payments of interest soon got into arrears (Daily Telegraph, 2nd Nov., 1935), which may be the reason that long after the Rothschild House in Naples had been closed down, the Rothschilds remained guardians of the Papal Treasure!

http://iamthewitness.com/books/Arnold.Leese/Gentile.Folly_The.Rothschilds/05.The.Naples.House.htm
----------

Yet, many poor Judaists in Italy had to severely suffer WWII due to the expanded Holocaust over the border into Italy.


I-2. Popes and Catholic-Jewish Relations

Then, a new pope came from Poland after WWII, maybe, by the grace of Holy Lord.

----------
He Changed 2,000 Years of History
By Abraham H. Foxman
National Director of the Anti-Defamation League
This article originally appeared in The New York Sun on April 4, 2005

...
Let us remember that Karol Wojtyla became Pope at a critical moment in Catholic-Jewish relations. The 1960s had witnessed the historic Vatican II Council statement called Nostra Aetate, which rejected two millennia of doctrine holding Jews responsible for the death of Jesus.

What was unclear by 1978, with the election of a new Pope, was whether the Church would truly take the initiative of Vatican II and translate it into a radical reformulation of Catholic-Jewish relations or whether it would become a statement that, while important, never had a major impact on the Catholic world.

http://www.adl.org/ADL_Opinions/Interfaith/20050404-NY+Sun.htm
----------

Then in 1993, the Holy See under the reign of John Paul II officially recognized legitimacy of the nation Israel.

However it is rarely discussed how this evolution between Christianity and Judaism has been affecting Islam and American Christianity as well as other Christian communities in the world.


SECTION II: America and The Vatican

Many Catholics in America think they are the follower of the Pope, which is however rejected by the Pope.

----------
After Kennedy's Death: Silence from the Pope
By Jeff Israely Friday, Aug. 28, 2009

...
Back at headquarters, however, there is little room for nuance. "Here in Rome, Ted Kennedy is nobody. He's a legend with his own constituency," says the Vatican official. "If he had influence in the past, it was only with the Archdiocese of Boston, and that eventually disappeared too." Some say the final sunset on the Kennedy name within Catholic halls of power was the Vatican's decision in 2007 to overturn the annulment of the first marriage of former U.S. Representative Joe Kennedy, the eldest son of Robert Kennedy. The successful appeal by Joe Kennedy's ex-wife Sheila Rauch, an Episcopalian, was another blow to the Kennedy image in Catholic circles.

In what may mark the final flicker of Kennedy influence in American Catholicism, reports circulated last spring that Obama was considering JFK's daughter Caroline Kennedy as the possible next U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican. That was not to be. Indeed, in the wake of Uncle Ted's death came word Thursday that Obama's final choice had arrived in Rome to take up the diplomatic post at the Holy See. He is Miguel Diaz, a little-known Cuban-born professor of theology firmly on the record as prolife.

http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1919064,00.html?iid=tsmodule
----------

Maybe, as in America Judaism and Christianity, including Catholicism, are getting so closer to each other, the Vatican cannot admit many American Catholics as its members.

Or, especially, the American Democratic Party is full of Catholics and Judaists, which might be liberty in excess for the Vatican.

For the Vatican, good Judaists may be those in Israel; good Catholics are those outside America.

Once I saw a young Japanese nun in a certain town of Tokyo.

She was working as a member of an aid group helping poor people in the town.

But, she never used respect language to old daily workers and old homeless men who received some aid from the group.

To my surprise, a senior nun never even tried to correct the manners of the young nun.

Now I wonder whether or how they respected Mother Teresa or whether or how Mother Teresa would accept their respect, since those were the days when Mother Teresa was alive.

I do not belong to any Christian church, as you know, Your Eminences...



Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

Joh 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Joh 10:29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.

"That Preach Ye upon the Housetops"

(Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo Station!)


Far from Jerusalem, Rome, or Tokyo?


It is apparent that there were some each called "Jesus, son of Joseph" in Jerusalem in the first century but before the fall of Jerusalem.

There must have been some that really looked like Jesus Christ in the first century but before the fall of Jerusalem.

Yet, if time or space is different, no two entities can be identical, including one's emotions.


SECTION I: A Holocaust Movie "SHOAH"

"Shoah" is a nine-hour film Mr. Claude Lanzmann started to make in 1974 and completed in 1985, since the subject is the so-called Holocaust (or Shoah meaning annihilation in Hebrew).

(It was in 1978 that the American TV series, "Holocaust" was publicized all over the Western World.)

This movie was presented first in Japan in 1995, since Mr. Claude Lanzmann so wished to put SHOAH on the screen in Japan.

----------
In Part 2, Franz Schalling describes the workings of Chełmno where he served as a security guard.

In Parts 1, 2 and 3, Franz Suchomel talks about the workings of Treblinka where he was an SS officer.

In Part 3, Walter Stier, a former Nazi bureaucrat, describes the workings of the railways.

Sometimes their testimony becomes more personal. Schalling expresses sympathy for his Jewish victims, but Lanzmann moves him on. Lanzmann is also concerned with establishing their knowledge of the Holocaust. Many of his perpetrators assert their ignorance of what was going on. Suchomel claims that he did not know about extermination at Treblinka until he arrived there. Stier claims to have been too busy to find out that his trains were transporting Jews to their deaths. In each case, Lanzmann challenges their assertions of ignorance with relentless questions.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoah_(film)
----------

However, some Japanese who watched the movie felt distrust in a manner they presented the ex-SS officer.

They had promised to the ex-SS officer that he would be allowed to stay anonymous but actually opened his identity clear on the screen so conspicuously.

But, the Japanese viewer admitted the tremendous value of the film and understood endless anger of Mr. Claude Lanzmann.

(http://www.cinema-today.net/0205/08p.html)

So, which is better to use officially or religiously the Holocaust or the Shoah?


SECTION II: Embassy of Israel to the Holy See

There is a really nice picture of the Wailing Wall at the Web site of the Embassy of Israel to the Vatican.

http://vatican.mfa.gov.il/mfm/web/main/missionhome.asp?LanguageID=0&Question2=&MissionID=111&MissionID=

This Web site also includes information for Pilgrimage to Israel. The information advertises services Israel provides for Christian tourists:
----------
The Service:
Pilgrimage Certificates

Details:
Pilgrimage Certificates
signed by the Minister of Tourism and the Mayor of Jerusalem, in the following languages: English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese, Dutch and Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian.

Intended for:
Christian pilgrims

http://vatican.mfa.gov.il/mfm/Data/96776.doc
----------

Israel in fact admits that Christianity is a right religion; Jesus Christ is God.


SECTION III: The Vatican

The Rockefeller-supported Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) posts some reports on the Vatican and Israel on its Web site:

----------
Vatican-Israel Relations
Author: Toni Johnson, Staff Writer

Updated: May 12, 2009

The relationship between Catholics and Jews is marred by centuries of troubles, including doctrinal polemics, Crusade-era massacres, and forced exiles of Jews. The Vatican moved to improve relations with Jews in 1965, although it did not formally recognize Israel until 1993. Today experts say relations between the Vatican and Israel have never been better. Still, trouble spots remain. Lingering Jewish bitterness over the Vatican's posture during the Holocaust, the uncertain legal status of church property in Israel, and outstanding concerns about Christian religious sites in the Holy Land continue to be diplomatic sticking points....

http://www.cfr.org/publication/19344/vaticanisrael_relations.html
----------

In response to Iseali's de-facto recognition of Christianity as an authentic religion, the Vatican should:
- Declare that Judaism is the original or another form of Christianity, and

- Declare that Judaists are the original or other type of Christians.

*** *** *** ***

Jesus Christ said that truth would be known to the world by the grace of God.

If a nameless, poor, and pious person continues to be nameless, poor, and pious following his faith in God, his value among mankind will be known to the world.

Only a devil-haunted man would try to kill such a valuable person.

However, mankind would opt for driving out such a devil-haunted man from community as long as mankind as a whole is sane.

After death, the soul of a nameless, poor, and pious person will be given eternal life, but that of a devil-haunted man will not, according to the teaching of Jesus Christ.



Mat 10:26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

"The Eye of a Needle"

Martyrdom or Death Surrounded by Families


If you meet 100 ordinary people, you may still assume 3% of them is exceptional in the situation, 7% of them is highly troubled or confused, but 90% of them can be comparatively categorized into well known types, say, specified in your manual at hand or in the brain.

So, among 100 persons you are going to be consulted by or deal with, 90% of them will not be dangerous to you or you are not dangerous to them.

Therefore, logically and moralistically you have to put a higher priority to the 10% people out of the norm if looking inconspicuous.

It is because it is the most exceptional, troubled, or confused people that Jesus Christ tried to help and save. And, most of them are usually poor, very poor, or super-poor.

If you made a TV or movie appearance, you have to expect that composition of your audience is as such.


SECTION I: Tomb of the Family of "Jesus of Jerusalem"

You might see a Discovery TV program in 2007 reporting the discovery of the possible tomb of Jesus Christ and His family in the southern area of Jerusalem.

----------
The Lost Tomb of Jesus

In 1980 a tomb was found in south Jerusalem that had ten ossuaries in it. It was one of hundreds of tombs that have been uncovered since the 1970s. Yet only now has it been identified as the Jesus tomb.

Of all the thousands of ossuaries pulled from those tombs, only about 20% bear inscriptions. In the case of the Talpiot tomb, six of them—60%--had inscriptions. This was an elite family. Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, even Latin, were all represented in the burial cave.

Every inscription has been corroborated by the world’s leading scholars in the field, including professors Amos Kloner, Tal Ilan, Frank Moore Cross and the legendary L.Y. Rahmani. The inscriptions appear in Rahmani’s A Catalogue of Jewish Ossuaries in the Collection of the State of Israel published by the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA).

And every inscription bears a relationship to the Gospels. While the names themselves range from the most common to the fairly rare, it is the cluster of names that is unique.

The first inscription, written in Aramaic (an ancient dialect of Hebrew), states: "Yeshua bar Yosef." Translated, it reads "Jesus son of Joseph." This is very rare. Out of all the inscriptions catalogued, only one other "Jesus, son of Joseph" inscription has ever been uncovered.

http://www.jesusfamilytomb.com/essential_facts/1980_discovery.html
----------

However academically it is denied.

In religious terms, it is close to a blasphemy.

But, it is definitely a miracle.

So, check the ossuaries and hear what experts say if you do not have the book, The Lost Tomb of Jesus.

http://www.neverthirsty.org/pp/feature-articles/200703/the-lost-tomb-of-jesus.html



SECTION II: Implication

In 1979 the Soviet Union decided to send troops into Afghanistan, resulting in 10-years' war.

In 1980, Iraq and Iran started to exchange fires, resulting in an almost 10-years' war.

In Japan, Prime Minister Masayoshi Ohira, a Christian politician, fell to serious illness during a general election campaign, and died within two weeks, while still being in prime ministership, a very rare and drastic incident in the history of Japan.

And then in the same year 1980, the so-called ossuary of Jesus, son of Joseph, was uncovered in the southern part of Jerusalem, though it was 2007 that the fact was widely known to to the world owning to hard work by some people concerned.

It is as if it had taken 27 years since His birth for Jesus Christ to get prepared for His mission, since 2007 - 1980 = 27, holily.


SECTION III: THE VATICAN

I think there is a chance that true relics of Jesus Christ should be excavated in Palestine sometime soon.

The Israeli Government would probably interfere with how to handle them, since such a discovery would affect the relationship between Israelis and American Judaists and American Christians in an unpredictable manner.

So, I have been requesting the Pope to go back to Jerusalem and stay there as a disciple of Jesus Christ.

The Pope must be the first person to confirm and protect such relics in Israel, since Christianity started around Jerusalem 2000 years ago.

*** *** *** ***

Just like today, Israelis thought that money would protect them from any danger.

But, Jesus Christ denied it with holy authority.

Indeed, if you want to protect your one million dollars completely, you need one million more dollars.

To protect your two million dollars completely, you need eight million more dollars.

To protect your 10 million dollars completely, you need 100 million more dollars.

And in all this process, you cannot protect yourself from any significant danger at all, though you may happen to be safe until the last day of your rich life, which might happen to be death in bed surrounded by families.




Mar 10:25 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.

Mar 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved?

Mar 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.

Deja Vu or Prophecy around the Sun


It is true that four Chinese businesses are now ranked within the Top 10 Global Enterprises in terms of the aggregate market value of listed stocks (The Tokyo Shimbun newspaper).

But it is also true that four oil-producing companies (of USA, China, Brazil, and UK/Holland) are now ranked within the Top 10 Global Enterprises in terms of the aggregate market value of listed stocks.

It is not time for Tokyo and Washington to doubt each other in terms of friendship.

It is so, since Tokyo might be misled by Chinese politicians and Washington might be by super-rich Judaists (just like around 1941).


SECTION I: JUDAISTS AND GLOBAL WARMING

After WWII, the House of Rothschild faced a bitter slump of business, since Europe was largely devastated by the war Hitler had started.

But, they revived through help from Churchill who invited Edmund Leopold de Rothschild (1916–2009) to a huge project in Canada in early 1950's.

(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Leopold_de_Rothschild )

Through this project Rothschild befriended Mr. Maurice Strong (1929-) who later became the world's leading proponents of the United Nations' involvement in world affairs and one of the world's leading environmentalists.

Edmund Leopold de Rothschild and Mr. Maurice Strong attended the 4th World Wilderness Congress (WWC) held in Denver, Colorado, in 1987. It evolved into the Earth Summit, the Kyoto Protocol, and CO2 emission-rights trading business.

Though I do not support the idea that the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers are trying to control the world in a harming manner to mankind, I can hear those who are sounding a warning:

----------
The 4. Reich: "Big Opportunity for New World Order." We Are "Cannon Fodder"
Posted by Anders under English, Euromed
Thu 2, April, 2009

...
The 4th WWC convened in September 1987 in Denver and Estes Park, Colorado, USA, chaired by UN's Maurice Strong. It was opened by U.S. Secretary of the Treasury James Baker, adding weight to the congress proposal for a World Conservation Bank. Also participating were David Rockefeller and Gro Harlem Brundtland, prime minister of Norway UN Chair of the (Brundtland) Commission on Environment and Development.

At the 4. Congress Edmund de Rothschild proposed the Wilderness Conservation Bank– and David Rockefeller took on to finance it and it eventually led to the $1.1 billion Global Environment Facility (GEF).

The Council's open door policy toward non-governmental organizations and representatives of civil society makes it unique among international financial institutions. It is establishing monitoring and evaluation standards.

In George Hunt's video Lord Edmund de Rothschild is proposing a Marshall Plan 2. His proposals for the environment was adopted by the Rio Summit in 1992 without discussion. The Global Marshall Plan is also on the table – but now ascribed to Al Gore! Rothschild proposed to catch and cap CO2, change it into dry ice and sail it to the meliing Arctis and Antarctis!!!

Thus Baron Edmund de Rothschild has become the secret prophet and initiator of the religious environmental movement which will in the end destroy the industrialized nations.

http://euro-med.dk/?p=7685
----------

A sister of Edmund Leopold de Rothschild, Naomi de Rothschild (1920-2007), married Bertrand Goldschmidt (1912-2002) who became chairman of the IAEA board of governors in 1980.

(http://www.cns-snc.ca/history/pioneers/b_goldschmidt/goldschmidt.html )

Is the global warming a matter that super-rich people, such as Rothschilds and Rockefellers, should control, driving governments in the world to fear and CO2 emission-rights transactions?

The ultimate source of the global warming is riches and wealth.

If everybody becomes poor and pious, there will be no more the issue of the global warming.

Rothschilds and Rockefellers together with other rich men who might happen to be their enemies must become poor and pious to save the world.

Anyway, since September 2001, old and new players concerned seem to be going and coming even in the House of Rothschild...


SECTION II: PROPHECIES

Jesus Christ delivered, according to the Gospel, his prophesy in the following manner:

Luk 21:24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

Israelites will be dispersed to all the nations, but will return to Jerusalem when the last mighty country at the far end of the Continent, Japan, rises to fulfill the times of the Gentiles.

Luk 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

After Israel is established around Jerusalem, Japan with the symbol of the sun, Arabs with the symbol of the moon, and America and the E.U. with the symbol of stars will play major roles with the industrial power, crude oil, and the financial power, respectively; but global situations will be messed with the 2001 Terror and the 2008 Financial Debacle; and newly rising nations on the oceans, such as China, India, Brazil, and Iran, will disturb the world.

Luk 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

People will be frightened, for the nature of the earth will look like losing stability. People will talk about the temperature, global warming and a rise of the sea level, or otherwise global cooling.

Luk 21:27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

But, mankind will see somebody coming on a certain vehicle in the air or the space with power and great glory.

Luk 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Then everybody will be given a chance for salvation.


Note: This prophecy is to be significantly manifested and interpreted in the 21st century, or maybe in 2020's.

So, in my interpretation of Jesus Christ's prophecy, the Rothschilds and the Rockefellers take minor part.

They cannot even control China, India, Brazil, or Iran without mentioning Japan, America, or the E.U.

But, they may be essential factors to this global-warming fiasco, since global cooling is more horrible as it would significantly decrease an output of agricultural products all over the world.

Accordingly, we had better check the scientific observation of the sun or sunspots, the largest heat source to the earth:
---------
To motivate their interest the researchers mention the Maunder Minimum, which occurred beginning in 1645 and coincided with the coldest part of the so-called "Little Ice Age." Sunspot counts during this period were as low as 1/1,000 of the numbers seen in modern times.

Anyway have a nice weekend, since that is all for today, sirs.




Luk 10:23 And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see:

Luk 10:24 For I tell you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.
