"though he were dead, yet shall he live"
(30 or 60 Km far and around Tokyo )
At the End of Exclusive Weeks Prior to Great December
SECTION I: DUBAI
They have been building another Tower of Babel in Dubai.
It is impossible to think that Allah would overlook the money city prospering while over the Persian Gulf Iraqi people, namely Muslims, are suffering from war and terror; Iranian people, namely Muslims, are facing possible war and terror; and Afghan people, namely Muslims, are facing intensified war and terror.
However, young Muslims had better go to Dubai rather than to Afghanistan if they are determined to fight the Devil equipped with Christian money (euro) and Christian/Judaist money (dollars), since Tower of Babel in Dubai is not based on money Allah has authorized.
----------
Dubai, part of the oil-exporting United Arab Emirates, said on Wednesday it would ask Dubai World creditors and Nakheel to agree to a standstill on billions of dollars of debt as a first step towards restructuring.
Dubai World, the conglomerate that led the emirate's expansion, had $59bn of liabilities as of August, most of Dubai's total debt of $80bn.
Nakheel was the builder of three palm-shaped islands off Dubai.

This might be a Christmas present from an Angel of Islam as a chance for repenting.
SECTION II: CHRISTAN MONEY, JUDAIST MONEY, & ISLAMIC MONEY
If you use, except in case of paying tax to them, money Alexander the Great and his successors produced, you cannot be a descendant of Israelites.
If you use, except in case of paying tax to them, money Caesar and his successors produced, you cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ.
If you use American dollars or Christian euro to build new Dubai, will Allah still bless you?
Indeed, money, weapons, and drugs do not arrogantly mind different religions among consumers.
Ask Wall Street guys and City workers about following questions, only 10% could most probably offer correct or reasonable answers to all the items, since only 10% of them deserve a title of an expert in finance, in my observation.

Yet, you had better also study history of money in Japan to understand Japanese spiritualism.

There is a strange theory, as you know, that the Great Depression in 1929 was caused by a wrong bookkeeping system.
Indeed, equipped with advanced computer systems, Wall Street avoided a total collapse in the fall of 2008 as FRB could provide huge amount of dollars without fatal errors in calculation of credit outstanding.
Yet, there is a chance that exchange rate fluctuations can lead to a great confusion in the world economy while the key-currency principle supported by the U.S. dollar becomes so ineffective and turns to be an impediment.
As for Japan, the Japanese Government should print as many as governmental yen bills (not of the Bank of Japan) to buy up American dollars as many as possible to settle the rate to 100 yen against 100 cents.
(We may assume that a daughter of a very wealthy clan in Japan Ms. Yoko Ono married a British working-class hero John Lennon to celebrate a Christmas in 1971, and maybe in 1971 alone.
"Happy, Merry Christmas, Ono-san!" though it was on December 8, 1980 that John Lennon died and it was on December 8, 1941 [in Japan Time] that Imperial Navy air-craft carrier fleets of Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

Joh 11:23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Joh 11:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
Joh 11:28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.
Joh 11:29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly, and came unto him.
Joh 11:30 Now Jesus was not yet come into the town, but was in that place where Martha met him.
