"he spake to them of the Father" - History Under Forces

History Under Forces (L'histoire sous des Forces)

Now New York is under a threat by a tropical tempest of a large scale.

The East Coast was recently shocked by a big earthquake which was felt so by residents in the area where an earthquake is rare.

The God already said that He would perform miracles in the sky and in the ground.

Indeed, the God is focusing on Washington DC and New York for some reasons.

It must be for the purpose of telling them that the Second Coming of Christ has started around 2010 as I proved recently.


SECTION I: Koran

The situation in Libya has changed for the first time since 1969.

Koran - The Accessions

[8.15] O you who believe! when you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them.

[8.65] O Prophet! urge the believers to war; if there are twenty patient ones of you they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a hundred of you they shall overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they are a people who do not understand.

[8.69] Eat then of the lawful and good (things) which you have acquired in war, and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/k/koran/koran-idx?type=DIV0&byte=267454

First of all, rebels must make clear the direction of their revolution. Is it to freeing poor farmers, giving power to poor workers, allowing the politically handicapped to get independence, or realizing a true Islamic state?

Libya is not China, Russia, America, but an Islamic nation, though it is not Egypt.

War is not for revenge. War is to make the will of Allah prevail over bad guys guided by evil spirits who are enemies of Allah.

And, in an Islamic nation, no need to entertain rich men. Everybody should be equally treated as a Muslim. There must be neither poor Muslims nor rich Muslims. Allah never respects a rich man.

In 1932 Cai Tingkai leading the 19th Route Army of the Republic of China's National Revolutionary Army strated to invade Shanghai under protection of troops of the U.K., the U.S., France, Italy, and the Empire of Japan.

Cai, commanding three divisions of the 19th Route Army, did not follow order of Chiang Kaishek, the head of the Republic of China who wanted no war with Japan around Shanghai at the time. But, Cai moved his troops on his own initiative. Cai requested salaries for his troops to be paid by Shanghai leaders, namely Europeans, Americans, Japanese, and rich Shanghai citizens. Cai also wanted to take any portion of wealth of Shanghai, a city which was enjoying the greatest economic success in East Asia at the time.

So, Tokyo dispatched one division and a few other brigades to stop Cai's invasion of Shanghai. Accordingly a war broke out but ended in a few months. Operation of Cai's troops were restricted to 15 miles off Shanghai, and the Imperial Army withdrew its troops to Japan. Representatives from the U.K., the U.S., France, and Italy witnessed the peace treaty, though Nazi Germany was still behind China's National Revolutionary Army.

The climate change might be considered in the analogy of a pendulum.

When it moves far to the right-hand direction, it will surely come back passing to the left-hand direction.

And, while it is in the right-hand area, namely the global warming domain, after reaching the peak, it is gathering momentum to enter the left-hand area, namely the global cooling domain.

So, when an global cooling era starts gradually, the degree of climate instability must be large as it is passing through the the global warming domain with full momentum.

Hurricane Irene might be one of such phenomena. Global cooling might be following her with momentum. They must be all heralding the Second Coming of Christ Jesus around 2010.

By the way, an election to elect the new head of the ruling DPJ has started in Japan. The winner will be appointed to the new prime minister of Japan in the national Diet, soon.

The two candidates, Mr. Seiji Maehara and Mr. Banri Kaieda are expected to compete decisively among five candidates, since they are a former foreign minister and an incumbent Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, respectively. Incidentally, Prime Minister Mr. Kan is supporting Mr. Maehara while former PM Mr. Hatoyama is backing Mr. Kaieda. And, the key politician Mr. Ozawa has tied up with Mr. Hatoyama to give Mr. Kaieda any sort of boosts, though Mr. Ozawa is under indictment for illegal political fund handling.

So, a political hurricane is raging in Tokyo, indeed.

"over against Galilee" - (News to Heed)

Around Tokyo Bay...

News to Heed (Nouvelles de tenir compte)


October 7, 3761 BC is the epoch (origin) of the modern Hebrew calendar.

And around 4000 BC, Ur, an ancient key city of Mesopotamia, started to be expanded in a large scale.

Put simply, Judaism must be a derivative of Sumerian religion.



SECTION I: News of Today

1. Japanese Prime Minister Mr. Naoto Kan officially confirmed his intention to resign as prime minister in the assembly of lawmakers of the ruling DPJ today. Accordingly, the DPJ will elect the new head of the party on the next Monday. Then, at the end of August, the new prime minister will be voted for in the national parliament.

PM Mr. Kan has been requested to step down in these months for his inability to fix the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident problem and delay in recovery in tsunami devastated areas. His recent approval rating is around 15%.

2. For the first time, it was observed that a black hole is taking a star into its mysterious domain. The rare space phenomenon was studied in cooperation with Japan and the U.S.

The Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) on Kibo, in coordination with the gamma-ray burst satellite Swift (USA), observed the instant that a massive black hole swallowed a star for the first time in the world, located in the center of a galaxy 3.9 billion light years away. This result was published in Nature online, issued on August 25 Japan time. The title of the paper is "Relativistic Jet Activity from the Tidal Disruption of a Star by a Massive Black Hole".
http://www.jaxa.jp/press/2011/08/20110825_maxi_e.html

Back in June we reported on the black hole that devoured a star and then hurled the x-ray energy across billions of light years, right at Earth...The innermost gas in the disk spirals toward the black hole, where rapid motion and magnetism create dual, oppositely directed “funnels” through which some particles may escape. Jets driving matter at velocities greater than 90 percent the speed of light form along the black hole’s spin axis.

3. Japanese Electric Giant Hitachi is going to tie up with the local government of Saskatchewan, Canad, in development of nuclear technology directed to small-sized power generation and medical applications.

Canada is one of the largest producers of Uranium. The state of Saskatchewan is the center of Canadian uranium mining.


SECTION II: Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia

There is a big difference between civilization developed in ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, though skills of agriculture are believed to have been brought to the Nile river region from the Euphrates river valley.

Mesopotamia, unfortunately, did not have a seasonal flooding from the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, which would force them to create an organized agricultural system. This would explain their negative view of the afterlife and the general mood of the gods. Egypt, nevertheless, stood along the fertile soils of the Nile River valley, which provided a familiarized flooding. This allowed the Egyptians to see the universe as orderly and beneficial. So sacred this afterlife that they believed in preserving the body at death for the journey to the afterlife by the process of mummification. The Mesopotamians, fearing to disappoint the gods, believed that their purpose was to serve the gods and thus religion played a more important role in government. Priests, for example, were much more prominent than in Egypt. No matter the situation, both civilizations thrived in agriculture.
http://ezinearticles.com/?Ancient-Egypt-and-Mesopotamia---Whats-the-Difference?&id=956507

Astonishingly, the religious feature in ancient Mesopotamia is very akin to that of Judaism.

*** *** *** ***


It is said that there were three reports among those presented in a recent conference of the American Astronomical Society that focused on the coming of the mini glacial age.

Some scientists think that the mini glacial age might start around today or by 2021. It could be the one called the second Maunder Minimum as Maunder Minimum continued from 1645 to 1715 when the sun showed virtually no sunspots.

And, very ironically, to cope with expected coldness, nuclear power generation might gain more attentions. Conversely, mankind has to develop new energy sources that can deliver equal power to the nuclear energy but without any potential danger to humanity.

Anyway, this summer should be reviewed later in terms of global warming or cooling. It is so, since a big climate change 4000 years ago is thought to have been a major cause of Abraham's family leaving Ur, Mesopotamia. If so, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all derivatives of a great climate change that happened 4000 years ago.

"Lord, save us" - Since Abraham

Around Tokyo...

Since Abraham (Depuis Abraham)

[Updated in February 2012]

It is a difficult problem.

Under Saddam Hussein's administration, the Iraqi people lived outwardly peacefully. Under Mr. Mubarak's administration, the Egyptian people lived outwardly peacefully. Under Mr. Gaddafi's administration, the Libyan people lived outwardly in peace. But, revolution is going on with some precious sacrifices and victims.

Yet, Christ Jesus said not to be upset and afraid.

Nonetheless, Allah is God of wrath.


SECTION I: UR

I have asserted in these years that Christ Jesus is one of descendants of great Abraham; Great Abraham is a member of the Sumerians who built Mesopotamian Civilization.

Accordingly, all the Judaists of the past and today and Christ Jesus Himself are descendants of the Sumerians who built the first human urban civilization in Mesopotamia 6000 years ago. Some traits of the ancient Sumerians must be observed in all the Judaists of the past and today and Christ Jesus Himself. However, Christian scholars and professors never admit this theory. They cannot accept the theory that the Vatican is the last remnant of the Sumerian Civilization and Christianity is the greatest remnant of the Sumerian Civilization.

Ur is considered by many to be the city of Ur Kasdim mentioned in the Book of Genesis (Biblical Hebrew אוּר) as the birthplace of the patriarch Abram (Abraham; Arabic: Ibrahim), traditionally believed to be sometime in the 2nd millennium BC.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ur

Terah, the tenth in descent from Noah, fathered Abram, Nahor and Haran, and Haran fathered Lot. Haran died in his native Ur of the Chaldees, and Abram married Sarai, who was barren. Terah, with Abram, Sarai and Lot, then departed for Canaan, but settled in a place named Haran, where Terah died at the age of 205. (Genesis 11:27-11:32)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham

The Third Dynasty of Ur, also known as the Neo-Sumerian Empire or the Ur III Empire refers simultaneously to a 21st to 20th century BC (short chronology) Sumerian ruling dynasty based in the city of Ur and a short-lived territorial-political state that some historians regard as a nascent empire. The Third Dynasty of Ur is commonly abbreviated as Ur III by historians of the period...

Even though this period is referred to as the Sumerian Renaissance,[by whom?] this does not imply that the Ur III kings ignored their Akkadian predecessors in favor of Sumerian culture. Rather, this period witnessed a revival of Sumerian language and literature even while the Ur III kings emphasized their ties to the Akkad Dynasty as well[dubious – discuss]...

Some scholars believe that the Uruk epic of Gilgamesh was written down during this period into its classic Sumerian form. The Ur III Dynasty attempted to establish ties to the early kings of Uruk by claiming to be their familial relations.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_Dynasty_of_Ur#Culture

"Sumerian Renaissance" (3rd Dynasty of Ur)

ca. 2047–1940 BC short chronology

Ur-Nammu of Ur defeated Utu-hegal of Uruk and founded the 3rd dynasty of Ur. Although the Sumerian language ("Emegir") was again made official, Sumerian identity was already in decline, as the population became continually more and more Semiticised.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sumer#1st_Dynasty_of_Uruk

The most important thing is what was happening when the family of Abraham started to leave Ur or started to leave the 3rd Dynasty of Ur.  So, the 3rd Dynasty of Ur must be focused on.

(Click to enlarge.)

http://www.biblestudy.org/maps/journey-of-abraham-to-promised-land-and-egypt-large-map.html

Abraham was born in Ur c1996 B.C. Ur was one of the major cities of Sumer (home of the Sumerians) which is located in the south of modern day Iraq. 

Abraham was 75 years old before receiving God's calling in Haran. Haran (now Harran) is some 1000km north west of Ur in north western Mesopotamia. 

From the age of 75 Abraham spent the next 100 years travelling south west through Damascus and Shechern before reaching Zoan. From Zoan he travelled north east to Hebron where he died at the age of 175. 

Despite wandering for 100 years Abraham never received the Promises.
http://www.ccg.org/_domain/abrahams-legacy.org/abrahams-journey.html

SECTION II: The Last Dynasty of Ur

The Vatican has a long history. The Roman Empire and ancient Hebrews had long history each. But, Sumerians had a longer history.

Akkadian gradually replaced Sumerian as the spoken language of Mesopotamia somewhere around the turn of the 3rd and the 2nd millennium BCE (the exact dating being a matter of debate),[11] but Sumerian continued to be used as a sacred, ceremonial, literary and scientific language in Mesopotamia until the first century CE.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Sumer#.22Sumerian_Renaissance.22_.283rd_Dynasty_of_Ur.29

The Sumerian language is not a Semitic language. But Akkadian is a Semitic language like present day Arabic and Hebrew are. However, it does not exclude a possibility that Hebrews changed their language from Sumerian to Semitic.

Ibbi-Sin, son of Shu-Sin, was king of Sumer and Akkad and last king of the Ur III dynasty, and reigned circa 1963 BC-1940 BC (Short chronology). During his reign, the Sumerian empire was attacked repeatedly by Amorites. As faith in Ibbi-Sin's leadership failed, Elam declared its independence and began to raid as well.

Ibbi-Sin ordered fortifications built at the important cities of Ur and Nippur, but these efforts were not enough to stop the raids or keep the empire unified. Cities throughout Ibbi-Sin's empire fell away from a king who could not protect them. Ibbi-Sin was, by the end of his kingship, left with only the city of Ur. In 1940 BC, the Elamites, along with "tribesmen from the region of Shimashki in the Zagros Mountains" (Stiebing 79) sacked Ur and took Ibbi-Sin captive; he was taken to the city of Elam where he was imprisoned and, at an unknown date, died.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibbi-Sin

And then, the family of Abraham also left Ur to Palestine.

After the long story of the Sumerians and their kingdoms, the very long stories all depicted in the Old and New Testaments began. Anyway, remember that 4000 years ago Abraham left a Sumerian city Ur and 2000 years ago Christ Jesus left this world.

Of course the ancient city Ur, associated with Abraham, was situated in today's Iraq. But, Christian population in Iraq which was about 1.3 million before the US War on Iraq has now decreased drastically to 700,000.

"I see men as trees, walking" - (The Leap Year 8 BC)

Around Tokyo...

The Leap Year 8 BC (L'Année bissextile 8 BC)

Mr. Muammar Muhammad al-Gaddafi1 seized power onn September 1, 1969

It is enough. He must be judged by history or Allah.

In Japan, Mr. Ichiro Ozawa was elected as Lower House member in 1969, which was his first entry to a national election. Since then, he has kept his seat without a single loss of an election. And, even today, he is regarded as taking the lead in the coming election to choose the head of the DPJ and thus the new prime minister of Japan.

One big problem for Mr. Ozawa is that he cannot run for the party election though his faction consists of about 100 among 400 DPJ national lawmakers, since he is under indictment for suspicion of illegal political fund handling.

You may find details about his case in past entries of this EEE Reporter blog, though.


SECTION I: Why No Exact Year of Christ's Birth?

If the Vatican has kept direct and uninterrupted link with Christ Jesus, why cannot it determine the exact year when Christ Jesus was born?

Two independent approaches have been used to estimate the year of the birth of Jesus, one by analyzing the Nativity accounts in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew along with other historical data, the other by working backwards from the estimation of the start of the ministry of Jesus, as also discussed in the section below...

Most scholars generally assume a date of birth between 6 and 4 BC/BCE.[67] Other scholars assume that Jesus was born sometime between 7–2 BC/BCE...

However, the common Gregorian calendar method for numbering years, in which the current year is 2011, is based on the decision of a monk Dionysius in the six century, to count the years from a point of reference (namely, Jesus’ birth) which he placed sometime between 2 BC/BCE and 1 AD/CE...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus#Possible_year_of_birth

The Vatican praises Christ Jesus and brandish the Gospels, but no Popes could ever answer the exact year Christ Jesus was born. Of course, no Protestant priests have clues as to the exact birth year of Christ Jesus. And, they all claim that they respect Christ Jesus.

The point at issue is that the Christian community in the world has never done sincere efforts to find the exact year when Christ Jesus was born in these 2000 years. So, I am afraid that Christ Jesus will say to them, "Verily, I say to you:'I don't know you.'"

For example, Caesar was born on 13 July 100 BC; Alexander the Great was born in July 356 BC; David was born in 1040 BC; and even Confucius was born in 551 BC and the Buddha was in 563 BC. But why does not anybody, including the incumbent and past Popes, know when Christ Jesus was born? What is worse, they don't even know when St. Peter and St. Pau; were born, respectively. Then, what organization is the Vatican?



SECTION II: Catholic Education on Christ's Birth Year

It is surprising to see how irresponsible the Vatican is in pursuing the birth year of their Lord.

CATHOLIC EDUCATION CENTER
...
To complicate matters further, it seems that Dionysius' made an error in his calculations. Herod the Great, who the Bible says was alive at the time of Christ's birth, died in the year 4 B.C., based on the reports of Josephus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, when Herod was unable to trick the astrologers into leading him to the Child, he ordered the slaughter of all the male babies in Bethlehem. Since Herod's command (which is not attested outside the Gospels, but is consistent with his historical character) was to kill all babies under age 2, this event occurred no more than 2 years after Christ's birth. If we assume that this happened near the end of Herod's life (which seems likely), this puts Christ's birth in the year 5 or 6 B.C.

In that case, the 2000th anniversary of Christ's birth has already gone by, having been in 1993 or 1994. Naturally at the distance of years, it is practically impossibile to say with certainty what year Christ was actually born, though sometime between 7 B.C. and 1 B.C. seems all but certain.

http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/facts/fm0004.html

The Vatican respects in word Christ Jesus. But, they do not know when Christ Jesus was born. Could it be possible? St. Peter must have known it. Successors of St. Peter must have known it. But, all the Popes in the past have not known it. While the Vatican compiled such a big volume of the New Testament, they do not know when Christ Jesus was born.

Isn't something wrong? Even Cleopatra's birthday was identified as December 70 BC or January 69 BC.


SECTION III: Theories

According to a recent astronomical study, a great eclipse of Jupiter by the new moon or the crescent occurred, in a manner that captured great attention of then astrologers, that is, on the horizon, on March 20 and April 17, 6 B.C.

(In 6 B.C., a Roman Governor in Syria is said to have held a census count.)

There is also a description that the parents of Child Jesus traveled due to a census count, and gave His birth in a not so cold environment.

Therefore, Jesus Christ might have been born in April 17, 6 B.C.

However, Jesus must be born on the 360th day of the year, since He was born as one of descendants of Abraham, a son of the Sumerians in Mesopotamia who had started the use of the duodecimal calculation method, that is, based on the base number 12 or 60.

Therefore, He must be born on December 25th of a leap year that has 366 days, from a view of the current calendar system, since:
December 25 (360th), 26 (361th), 27 (362th), 28 (363th), 29 (364th), 30 (365th), and 31 (366th).

And, according to recent study on a calender which was found in 1999 to have been used in the Roman Empire around 24 BC, leap years 2000 years ago were as follows:
...11 BC, 8 BC, AD 8, AD 12,...

As the Roman Emperor found a defect in the calendar, he stopped the application of a leap year between 8 BC and AD 8. So, there were no leap years between 7 BC and AD 7.

In this theory based on glory of the Sumerian tradition, Christ Jesus must have been born on December 25, 8 BC.


*** *** *** ***

In the revolution of Libya, hundreds of people must have lost their lives.

It is a real tragedy.

By the way, why did a magnitude-5.8 earthquake occur in the State of Virginia, the East Coast of the U.S., today? It is said to be the most powerful on the east coast of the U.S. since 1897.

One noteworthy episode today is that Mooody's cut the grade of Japan's debt one step lower to Aa3.

Incidentally, it is said 46% of Americans pay no federal income tax, while 26% of Japanese households pay no tax due to poverty. How can you compare Japan with the U.S. in this context?





Mar 8:22 And he cometh to Bethsaida; and they bring a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.
Mar 8:23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw ought.
Mar 8:24 And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking.
Mar 8:25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.
Mar 8:26 And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

"I am not of this world" - (GDP vs. Market Value)

Around Tokyo...

GDP vs. Market Value (Produit intérieur brut par rapport à la valeur marchande)

U.S. Vice-President Mr. Joe Biden today visited an area affected by the 3/11 Earthquake/Tsunami of Japan.

He also met Prime Minister of Japan Mr. Naoto Kan in Tokyo. But, Mr. Kan is to resign as PM in a few weeks. It is because his approval rating has been around 15% in these months. He could not cope with the 3/11 natural disaster and the subsequent Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident. He only launched an anti-nuclear power policy which however is now a common policy of all the lawmakers in Japan though to different degrees. Yet, what is worse, there is a suspicion that PM Mr. Kan made situation in Fukushima Daiichi worse. If everybody admitted his ability and competence, Mr. Kan should be allowed to stay in Prime Minister's Office.

The Japanese politics is not easy. The Japanese political community is always given a hard look at. If a prime minister could put together budget for one fiscal year, he should be content with it in Japan.

Japan is a country run under the most exhaustive democracy in the world. Voters and taxpayers can virtually recall their prime minister at any time. A Japanese prime minister needs a higher competitive edge.



SECTION I: Change of the World from 2010

As I wrote in these days, the world has started to change around 2010.

This fact is sensed through various situational evidence. It is also confirmed through a modified prophecy of Newton's, from 2060 to 2010, as I explained in these days. Though some global incidents, such as the revolution in Egypt and Libya, are so tangible, the true movement of the era is rather intangible. Yet, it is manifested in global economy.


SECTION II: GDP vs. Market Value

Some many people in the world try to acquire big money without working hard in fields, factories, and shops. They go to money market, buying cheap and selling high stocks and bonds. Their financial assets came to have total value more than total GDP of the world around 2000 and 2007. But, this trend was stopped. The sum of GDPs of countries in the world became twice larger, in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, than the sum of global financial assets created in the New York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange, the Tokyo Stock Exchange, NASDAQ, etc. It was a good sign. But now, as FRB has been providing huge dollars to the U.S. financial market, the ratio of financial assets against world GDP is on an increasing trend again.

Around 2010, the total market value of 52 major stock markets in the world is equal to 84.5% of the total world GDP.

(Click to enlarge.)
(http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/suzukieisaku1/folder/57001.html?m=lc&p=6)

As the above figure indicates the ratio of total market vale, represented in each year by a bar segmented by each stock market, against the world GDP, human desire tried to push the ratio of financial assets higher than GDP twice around 2000 and 2007. But, each time, it crashed as if having invoked wrath of God.

For example,

Ratio of Market Value over GDP in Major Countries:
UK...160%
USA...118%
China...117%
JAPAN...71%
Germany...50%

(http://happy2020.cocolog-nifty.com/blog/2011/01/gdp-f24a.html)

Value businesses create in a year in a country must be far larger than profits to be obtained by selling or buying stocks of the businesses. But, in the U.K., the U.S., and China, it is not observed.

Market value being more than 100% of GDP means that there are many people who live a rich life simply by selling or buying stocks. Ethic and virtue in labor, work, or service are remote things for them. Like criminals they live a rich life simply by selling or buying stocks. And, if there are too many people who do live on selling or buying stocks, market value in stock exchange will surpass GDP of a nation. And, it will eventually destroy all virtue and ethics in a nation.

In this context, mankind faced a crisis twice in the past: 2000 and 2007. And around 2010, it looks like the third challenge has been posed especially in the U.S. But, if it is suppressed, the world would not so simply get rotten.

The ratio of market value against GDP can be a measure of a moral crisis of the human society.


*** *** *** ***

Japanese prime minister is elected through a vote in both the houses of the national Diet.

However, the Lower House has overriding power. The decision in the Lower House is respected when the Upper House chooses a different lawmaker for the prime minister. And as the incumbent prime minister may resign at any time, this vote to elect the new prime minister can be done at any time in principle.

Therefore, a change of the prime minister means usually a change of the head of the largest ruling party that has a majority of seats in the Lower House. So, when the prime minister announces his intention to resign, the ruling party elects the new head of the party. Afterwards, the Diet elects officially the new prime minister.

Then, who is the ruling DPJ going to choose as their new leader to take over Mr. Kan?

Till today, Minister of Finance Mr. Noda has been regarded as the most promising candidate. But, today former Foreign Minister Mr. Maehara announced his entry to the election, displaying his popularity among party members. If Mr. Maehara should be elected as PM, Japan is going to have a very young prime minister against its standard.

Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Joh 8:25 Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning.

Nobody expected that President Mr. Barack Obama could take on Osama bin Laden in the second quarter of 2011.

So, you might muse that Islamic nations might save the global economy someday while China and India would fail.

Anyway, this movement across Islamic nations from Libya to Syria through Egypt really tells that Christ Jesus has come back to the world around 2010 in my calculation.

SECTION I: News This Morning

1) Libya is coming to a showdown

Allah is great! A bad leader who bought by money foreigners as soldiers to suppress Muslims is going to be judged.

If justice is not realized in Europe, it must be realized at least in North Africa.

2) Japanese Prime Minister Election

The ruling party DPJ plans to elect the new head of the party on the next Monday, following spontaneous resignation of incumbent PM Mr. Naoto Kan.

The big concern is now on whether former foreign minister Mr. Seiji Maehara will run for the election which virtually chooses the next prime minister of Japan, since the DPJ has a majority in the Lower House that has constitutional power to elect the Japanese PM. Incidentally, Mr. Maehara is the youngest among possible candidates for this election.

3) U.S. Vice-President is traveling in the Far East

Mr. Joe Biden is to visit Japan soon.

The value of the U.S. dollar is indeed protected as China holds a few trillion dollars. But, China cannot sell U.S. dollars. It is because it would badly influence Japan that holds several trillion dollars. If Japanese businesses are badly damaged, they will change policies in the Chinese market. China will be more gravely damaged eventually. China cannot sell dollar-based assets it has accumulated in these years.

To control China, the U.S. needs help from Japan.


SECTION II: The End of the Era

Around 2010, the largest economy in the world the U.S. clearly showed a sign of an incurable financial malaise.

The Federal Reserve reports M1 to be $1,716 billion as of February 15th. When deposit currency created by the Federal Reserve is added to the traditional definition of M1, M1 after adjustment is actually 170% higher at $2,918 billion. Its annual growth increases to 29.5%, nearly 3-times the rate reported by the Fed and more importantly, is an annual rate of growth in the quantity of dollar currency that is approaching hyperinflationary levels.

The US dollar is being inflated and worryingly, the rate of new currency creation is approaching hyperinflationary levels. Unless the Federal Reserve changes course, the US is headed for a deposit currency hyperinflation like those that plagued much of Latin America in the 1980s and 1990s.

Ordinary Americans do not realize it while eating, drinking, driving, and working as before. But, the framework of their money system has changed. They have entered an era where deficit and surplus of the federal government do not count any more. Everything rests not on how much the government can borrow money but on how much the money market trust the dollar.

The era of old economics should be ended.

Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.

Mystery of Pella around 750

Mystery of Pella around 750 (Le Mystère de Pella en 750)

Israelites or Judaists who believed in Christ Jesus 2000 years ago fled to Pella in the south of Galilee Lake before the First Jewish–Roman War (66–73 CE).

But, they disappeared from the surface of history, while Christianity was prevailing outside Judaist communities.

Pella
by Wayne Blank
...
In one of His most famous prophecies, found in Matthew 24:1-44 and Luke 21:5-36, Jesus Christ warned the apostles, and through them, the early church at Jerusalem, of the coming fall of the city, and what they could do to save themselves:

"But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation has come near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are inside the city depart, and let not those who are out in the country enter it; for these are days of vengeance, to fulfil all that is written. Alas for those who are with child and for those who give suck in those days! For great distress shall be upon the earth and wrath upon this people; they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captive among all nations; and Jerusalem will be trodden down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." (Luke 21:20-24 RSV)

This prophecy was dual. It was partially fulfilled in 70 AD, but it also clearly has an end-time application as well - it's going to happen again, just prior to The Return Of Jesus Christ, as the above verses continue:

"And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory." (Luke 21:25-27 RSV)

The Christians in Jerusalem in 70 AD learned their lessons well. When they saw the Roman onslaught coming, they heeded Jesus' warning:

"Under the reign of Vespasian, Rome declared war against the Jews because of their repeated revolts, and General Titus besieged the city of Jerusalem 70 A.D. It is said that eleven hundred thousand [i.e. one million, one hundred thousand] Jews perished in the six month siege, but the church there escaped the horrors of the siege by following the instruction of Christ in Matthew 24, and fleeing to the mountains beyond the Jordan. This timely retreat was made to the small town of Pella." (Hugh Smith's History)

"In the fall of Jerusalem, few if any Christians perished. From the prophetic utterances of Christ, the Christians received warning, escaped from the doomed city, and found refuge at Pella, in the Jordan valley." (Hurlbut's Story of the Christian Church)

Biblical Archaeology
Pella
...
Firm archaeological evidence of the refuge in Pella and return to Jerusalem remain inconclusive. The literary accounts are of limited value because of the speculative and highly redacted nature of Josephus, and the remote and hearsay nature of Eusebius and Epiphanius. Moreover, there is no hard evidence suggesting that they reported any more than the unsubstantiated traditions they encountered in the highly superstitious context of Byzantine Christianity.

Due to the influx of refugees to the area, Christianity began to take on a new importance in Pella during the decline of the Roman empire. As a result, the transition from Roman to Byzantine eras saw little change in the prosperity of the city. Pella sent bishops to the Councils in Ephesus, Chalcedon and Jerusalem to represent a population that had grown to over 25,000 by the 6th century CE. The East, West and Civic Center churches all date from this time period, as do a number of houses and shops and a cavalry barracks located on the east summit of Tell Husn.

Although the transition from Byzantine to Muslim rule occurred by a peaceful means -- a covenant agreeing to pay poll and land taxes in CE 635, Pella was already in decline. The late Byzantine period had seen a decrease in water supply, an invasion by the Persians, a devastating earthquake and an epidemic of bubonic plague. Once under Islamic rule, Fihl was once again established as the city’s official name and its influence in trade reduced to a modest regional role. Although the city was still inhabited as late as the tenth Century CE, it was the deadly earthquake of CE 747 that ended its long history as a city of major influence in the region.

So, it is also around 750 that one epoch ended with Judaist followers of Christ Jesus gone into obscurity. And, from 750 as I found, 1260 years later as Newton calculated the Second Coming of Christ Jesus started, namely in 2010.

In addition, the earthquake in 749 that destroyed Pella was called the Seventh Earthquake.

The Seventh Earthquake (Hebrew: Ra'ash Shvi'it, literally "noise of the seventh"), also known as the Golan earthquake of 749, was a devastating Earthquake that struck the Levant on January 18, 749.[1][2] The cities of Tiberias, Beit She'an, Hippos and Pella were largely destroyed while many other cities across the Levant region were heavily damaged. In addition, the earthquake reportedly claimed tens of thousands of victims.
...
- Pella was completely destroyed.
- The death toll in Jerusalem numbered in the thousands. In addition, many palaces and churches were severely damaged, including the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Recently some Japanese took pictures of Pella:

(http://www.medianetjapan.com/town/drama_art/jxjunion/jordan1.html)

So, after the great earthquake around 750, Judaist followers of Christ Jesus lost their base in Pella. When they moved into a Christian region, they would become Christians. When they entered an Islamic domain, they would live as simple Judaists like other Judaists. The last remnant of Judaist followers of Christ Jesus eventually disappeared from the surface of history, though they must have preserved a pure and original style of living and believing in accordance with words Christ Jesus had directly delivered to His own people. So, the year 750 must be the starting point for Newton's calculation of adding 1260 to obtain the year of the Second Advent. Accordingly, we can get 2010 as 750 + 1260 = 2010.

In addition, Pella is a more interesting place, not only because its name was given after a home town of Alexander the Great but also because it has very old remains that could be traced back to the era of ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt.

Findings of a city wall and other structures, dating back to 3400BC and as early as 3600BC, show that Pella was a formidable city-state at the same time Sumerian Iraq was taking shape.

Although experts currently turn to Mesopotamia and Egypt when discussing the earliest centres of ancient civilisation, the northern Jordan Valley should also be given a mention, according to Stephen Bourke, University of Sydney professor and Pella project leader.

As public support for President Mr. Barak Obama is declining, in Japan the ruling DPJ is losing its support base.

It is partly because of inefficiency of the Kan Cabinet in restoration of the tsunami/radiation affected area. It is also partly because of a lack of patriotic feeling among the ruling party DPJ. And decisively, they have shown inability to fix deflation, the higher yen, energy issues, and national finance.

In the U.S., if Mr. Obama should lose the 2012 Presidential Election, it would take a century that a next African American is elected as American President.

In Japan, though Prime Minister Mr. Kan is going to resign in a few weeks, the era of socialistic and pro-Chinese/Korean regimes is going to pass forever.

Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
