(Trees everywhere around Tokyo)Peter the Roman or St. Peter
Last night or early this morning, I had a dream. In it, I saw one name on a sheet of paper. It is a top secret what name I saw there.
But, she is not a lawmaker, sorry.
SECTION I: THE LAST POPE
First of all, you cannot prove that Jesus Christ is God by simply reading the Gospel.
Secondly, you might not be convinced that Jesus Christ is God by simply reading the Gospel.
It is because all the four books of Mark, Luke, Matthew, and John are based on St. Peter’s witness of living Jesus, but St. Peter never allowed his own followers to write a book with an explicit description that Jesus is God, since Jesus Himself had forbidden it to St. Peter.
But, it is hard to know what happened in 1140.

The Prophecy of The Popes
Attributed to Saint Malachy
...
Malachy was born in what is now Northern Ireland and is believed by many to have had the gift of prophecy. He had his visions between the end of 1139 and the beginning of 1140 during his visit to Rome. Catholic tradition has it that he was granted a vision of all the remaining popes and wrote down a few key descriptive words about each, which has come to be known as Malachi's list or The Prophecy of the Popes . He committed the visions to paper and handed the manuscript to Pope Innocent II who allegedly placed the manuscript in the archives where they remained "unread" for nearly four hundred years….
The Last Pope
??? In persecutione extrema [In extreme persecution] Petrus Romanus [Peter the Roman] " the seat of the Holy Roman Church will be occupied by Peter the Roman, who will feed the sheep through many tribulations, at the term of which the city of seven hills will be destroyed, and the formidable Judge will judge his people." The End? )
There are several interpretations pertaining to the last Pope listed on the Malachy list.
1. Additional Popes, not listed by St. Malachy occur between Gloria Olivae and Petrus Romanus
A. Gloria Olivae is immediately followed by Petrus Romanus but no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, therefore, he and Gloria Olivae might be one and the same pope.
B. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, any number of popes could intervene between these two popes.
C. Because no number is assigned to Petrus Romanus, it is also possible that he will not be an actual pope. Under this scenario, a catastrophe at the Vatican wipes out the upper echelon of the Catholic Church during either a consistory or a conclave of the College of Cardinals. As a result, with no viable College of Cardinals surviving to elect a new pope, this particular scenario would have a surviving official of the Roman Curia succeeding to the top leadership of the Church but not as Pope. Since he would not rise to the Papacy itself but instead would become, in effect, the top caretaker of the Church, he would not need to assume a new papal name such as Peter, but would keep the name he has had since his birth in Italy, and that name already would be Peter...

Anyway, I request the Vatican to move to Jerusalem.
I also request officials in the Vatican, including the Pope, to go back to the spirit of St. Peter whose finding God in Jesus Christ became the foundation of the Catholic Church system.
SECTION II: Japanese Obamas
If you like to know Japan of today, you had better keep in mind some big names in the Japanese political community, since Japan is based on a national system that recognizes the Emperor as a symbol of the state and the Japanese people who assume sovereignty constitutionally.
SHINZO ABE (The Liberal Democratic Party)
Mr. Abe is one of former Prime Ministers of Japan who still keep a seat, each, in the national Diet.
He is still sometimes spotted on TV-news scenes. His health might be still a concern for some conservative and patriotic citizens. Especially Mr. and Mrs. Yokotas whose daughter was abducted by North Korea decades ago might determinedly respect former Prime Minister Mr. Abe.
Indeed, Mr. Abe specifically mentioned Mr. and Mrs. Yokotas in the explanation and apology for his resignation from the premiership which he decided on Sept. 11, 2007, and announced the next day.
Anyway, he is still young and has the nice wife fairly young as a wife of an ex-premier’s.

ICHIRO OZAWA (The Democratic Party of Japan)
Mr. Ozawa deserted the LDP 15 years ago to work as a mastermind to launch the first non- LDP-monopolized regime in Japan since 1950’s.
After having made and broken some political parties, he has finally settled in DPJ to be its head.
If a snap election is held today, it is believed that the LDP will fall from power and Mr. Ozawa will be elected as Prime Minister of Japan by the national assembly.
The big difference between the DPJ and the LDP is that the former has some ex-members of the former Socialist Party of Japan. In this context, DPJ is a little akin to the U.S. Democratic Party.
However, Mr. Ozawa is willing to send Japanese Self-Defense troops on the land of Afghanistan as part of U.N. authorized operations.

**********************************************************************
That is all for today.
Remember, if you read the Bible 911 times, you cannot be assured that Jesus is God.
It is St. Peter. All the four Gospels are based on his witness of his Lord Jesus.
Jesus never said, “Call me God, since I am God.”
But, if you find God in Jesus, you are a genuine Christian to take rank with St. Peter.
This is one great secret of Catholicism.
This is my Christmas present to you, cordially as literally.

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
(The last chapter of Malachi, The King James Version)
