"confess that he was Christ" - How the Vatican Survived

How the Vatican Survived (Comment le Vatican a survécu)


The Crusades failed finally in the late 13th century, putting an end to hope that the Vatican would conquer Islam and thus the world.

Apart from discussion about the effect of this past failure, it suggests that the U.S. would fail finally in Palestine of today.  If the U.S. should fail, Israel would also fail.  I think that hope that the U.S. could fix the matter for Israel was definitely lost during Clinton Administration.

Put it again, as the Vatican failed in Palestine in its Crusades operation, the U.S. would fail in Palestine in its pro-Israeli operation.  But, the Vatican has survived.  The U.S. and Israelis will survive together.




SECTION I: Christianity Expansion to Asia 


The headquarters of the United Nations had better be moved from New York to Goa, India, since it is a symbolic city in history of relationships between the West and the East.


I-1: Goa


Modern European invasion of South/East Asia started at Goa, India.
The Sumerians inhabited Goa around 2200 BC which was followed by several waves ofIndo-Aryan people and the Dravidians from the Deccan.... 
In 3rd century BC, it formed part of the Mauryan Empire, ruled by the Buddhist emperor, Ashoka of Magadha. Buddhist monks laid the foundation of Buddhism in Goa.... 
In 1312, Goa came under the governance of the Delhi Sultanate. However, the kingdom's grip on the region was weak, and by 1370 they were forced to surrender it to Harihara I of the Vijayanagara empire...
After that dynasty crumbled, the area fell to the hands of the Adil Shahis of Bijapur who established as their auxiliary capital the city known under the Portuguese as Velha Goa...
In 1510, the Portuguese defeated the ruling Bijapur kings with the help of a local ally, Timayya, leading to the establishment of a permanent settlement in Velha Goa (or Old Goa).

It must be also noted that it was 1492 that Columbus reached America. Indeed around 1500, something extraordinary was going on in Europe, though neither England, France, nor Germany were key players at the time. (Of course, no United States of America existed at the time, to make sure.) So, something extraordinary was going on around the Vatican around 1500.

(It is however interesting to see that Portugal had once a chance to conquer the world around 1500, since Columbus lived in Portugal for eight years till 1485 asking support for his planned adventure from the king of Portugal in vain eventually.)

In 1475 Sistine Chapel started to be built in a fortification.  The Vatican was losing its counterpart  Byzantine Empire while facing a threat from the Islamic world since its failure in the Crusades in the 13th century.  The Vatican had to protect itself. Julius II, the pope at the time, acted as a militarist and politician rather than a priest.  It tells Christianity was declining not uprising.

For example, Martin Luther's Protestant Reformations was about to start, since Luther was excommunicated in 1521.  The Vatican also made Michelangelo paint anti-Christ pictures on walls and ceilings inside the Vatican buildings.  The whole Catholicism was going to be deformed and warped.  To survive it needed new world.  The Vatican needed a sense of progress.  It had to preach gospels to somebody beyond the barrier of Islam.  Missions would revive their spirit.  So, the Vatican became one of major players in the Age of Geographical Discovery.

I-2. Francis Xavier

So, Francis Xavier was sent to Goa as the king of Portugal asked the Society of Jesus to send a pastor to his subjects working and living in Goa.

Tomorrow, September 22, is the public holiday in Japan.  It is the Autumnal Equinox Day.

So, look up at the sun.  Behind it at the same distance between you of now and the sun, there was the earth or you half a year ago.  It was a long journey in the space as you can confirm it when you look at an imaginary orbit around the sun.

People live and die on this earth.  Christ Jesus also did.  Yet, His Second Coming already started around 2010 in my calculation.  (Refer to http://eereporter.blogspot.com/2011/09/take-nothing-for-your-journey.html)

To make sure, the earth is a planet situated in the end of this universe.  The place where we are is the starting point and the final point of the universe.

Joh 9:22 These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Joh 9:23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
