"The Gospel of the Kingdom"
(The Three Major Sight-Seeing Spots around the Tokyo Bay: O-Daiba, Ginza, and Tokyo Station)
"The Gospel of the Kingdom"
(American Dream to Leave 100 Million)
Yesterday in Tokyo, Mr. Henry Kissinger met with Mr. Yukio Hatoyama, the No.2 politician of the largest opposition party in Japan.
Mr. Kissinger, the still most influential pundit in the U.S., reportedly mostly asked Mr. Hatoyama, the director-general of the Democratic Party of Japan, about the state of the DPJ and possible successors of its leader, Mr. Ichiro Ozawa.
If Mr. Kissinger flies to Beijing, China, and could not show his insight about the Japanese politics, Chinese leaders might wonder why Mr. Kissinger cannot give very smart comments on such a potentially imminent issue as the next Japanese Prime Minister expected to take over incumbent Prime Minister Mr. Taro Aso.
Anyway, though Mr. Kissinger is well known for his indefatigable enthusiasm of pursuing American interests in the Cold War Era, the Anti-Japanese Economic Power Era, and the 9-11 Era, the debacle of Wall Street in 2008, claiming $2.7 trillion to America and $1.2 trillion to Europe, seems to have fully changed his view on economic globalization.
Now, American rich men, very rich men, and super rich men think they desperately need the Chinese Market to continue to be rich, very rich, and super rich.
However, its consequence might look very dire or weird.

An American notable journalist once wrote that if there are 100 Americans 90 of whom are skilled and qualified office workers and 10 of whom are manual laborers and there are 1,000 Chinese 90 of whom are skilled and qualified office workers and 910 of whom are manual laborers, it would be good for America to promote economic globalization in a tie up with China.
It is because though the 90 American middle-class workers have to compete with the 90 Chinese middle-class workers while the 10 American poor laborers have to compete with the 910 Chinese poor laborers, the total economic pie would be significantly increased and larger business chances would be offered to the 90 American middle-class workers. And, anyway, the 10 American poor laborers have to enhance their occupational skills if they want to climb the social stratum.
It is not so bad for rich middle-class Americans to go hand-in-hand with rich middle-class Chinese to be richer. But, there still remain poor laborers who would be perfectly neglected and coolly forced to take all the responsibility of their state of poverty all for themselves.
Ultimately, two thirds of Americans can be rich, but inevitably one third of Americans have to remain in the state of low-level manual workers.
In other word, 200 million Americans can be rich, very rich, or super rich in future, while 100 million Americans would have to be poor, very poor, or super poor.
And, in the democratic political system, this situation cannot be changed, since two thirds of the American population would support this system allowing for inter-class immobilization. That is the majoritarianism; but the majority force consists of rich citizens and the minority of the poor, a rare situation in the human history.
Even in China, if 200 million Chinese should get rich in future, very rich, or super rich, one billion Chinese would have to be poor, very poor, or super poor.
And, in the Communist-dominant political system, this situation cannot be changed, since all the population would be forced to support this system by the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party.
This is one of the worst-case scenario of the economic globalization China and the U.S. are now dreaming of.

For example, during the Great Depression Era, one third of Americans were rich, but two thirds of Americans were poor. Accordingly socialist views were widely accepted, leading to introduction of socialist laws and regulations into the American society in the period over WWII.
But now two thirds of Americans are getting rich while one third is going to be fixed at their present state of poverty.
The earnest warning is that these two-third rich Americans are expected to utilize labor forces and services from one billion poor Chinese in addition to other one-third poor Americans.
This could be terribly the dire and weird consequence of the Globalization.
This could be terribly the dire and weird consequence of a tie-up between the Christian democratic power, the U.S., and the Communist despotic state of China.

You may think it is acceptable if you can be rich in China or the U.S. in the above stated future states of the states.
However, it is one example which is opposite to the Kingdom of God.
The above stated future states of American and China look like somehow possible states of Hitler's Germany and Stalin's USSR if they had tied up to rely on each other while avoiding the great German-Soviet War in 1940's.

Jesus Christ actually meant that people are allowed to live only for two purposes:
Praise the God and make others happy.
It is time for us to find twelve people around us who are observing this teaching of Jesus Christ wherever we are.
If you cannot find twelve pious observers in an industrial sector where you work, you had better leave it.
You had better leave political circles, official circles, and the TV entertainment industry.
(So, the Angel is around us to punish anybody. Also, der Engel ist um uns herum, um jemanden zu bestrafen. Ainsi, l'Ange est autour de nous pour punir quiconque, ma chère.

Mat 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
Mat 4:24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
