The End of the World
(Water and Parks in Japan.....Das Wasser und die Parks in Japan)
The End of the World
(L'extrémité du monde)
Have you recently heard voices of the devil or seen public appearance of wicked ones, though you may have a chance to access kingdom of the God and Angels?
Truly, Jesus Christ once mentioned the end of the world, according to the King James Version of the Bible:
Mat 13:36 Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field.
Mat 13:37 He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;
Mat 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
Mat 13:39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels.
Mat 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world.
Mat 13:41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity;
Mat 13:42 And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Mat 13:43 Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

There are seven types of figures in the end of the world:
(1) The Son of man (Jesus Christ)
(2) The children of the kingdom
(3) The devil
(4) The children of the wicked one
(5) Angels
(6) The righteous
(7) Father (God)
The most striking part is that the children of the kingdom are good seeds, while the tares are the children of the wicked one.
Now your challenges are:
a) Describe the present era in line with Jesus Christ's description of the end of the world.
b) Specify how you should live in this era.
As for me, I am thinking how to integrate the above issue into the relationship between Christianity and Islam.
Indeed, God is great and God or Allah is the only god for us!
(This September is still unusually hot in and around Tokyo. Is still the ocean calling you? But, remember that Jesus Christ never swam, and He never stood on the shore of the Mediterranean, pointing at Alexandria, Athens, or Rome.
However, from the beach of the Pacific coast of Japan, we may really see what is beyond the end of the world, of course, to a direction different from the one to the US West Coast.
Can you see the West Coast of Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Palestine shore?
I can sense it..... Je peux le sentir.)
