"worship him that liveth for ever and ever"

The Season of Cherry Blossoms Going Out around Tokyo

Rev 4:9 And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
Rev 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

"the woman of Samaria" - Solution

Sea Shore on the Pacific near Tokyo, Japan, though Not Tsunami

Solution

There are many rich people in this world who can buy what their money allows them to buy.

There are many experts and scientists in this world who know what their ability and efforts allow them to know.

Modern wealth is created by modern technology based on advanced science which has been cultivated with a huge amount of money.

And, it is thought that poverty cannot be conquered by mankind since those who have wealth enough to eradicate poverty would not try to solve problems caused by poverty.

Of course the poor cannot fix their own problems arising from poverty as they have no material means.

So, it is clear that the enemy of poverty is rich men who would not help the poor.  For example, for the poorest man in the world, every other person who is richer than he is his enemy.  And for the second poorest man, every other person who is richer than he is his enemy.  In this sequence, you cannot find any key to the solution.  

Finally, we have to admit that only God can put an end to this grave issue of mankind.  Therefore, our faith in God is the solution.

Joh 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
Joh 4:8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
Joh 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
Joh 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

"all the kingdoms of the world" - The Rich and The Poor

Pacific Coast of Honsyu Island, near Tokyo, Japan

The Rich and The Poor

If there were only two men in this world, one would be rich and another would be poor.

Then the poor might try to harm the rich.  Therefore, the rich would arm himself with any weapon better than that the poor has.   The rich would naturally lose friendship to the poor, while the poor should always feel unhappy as he cannot become rich.

Now there are so many people in this world who can be divided into the poor and the rich.

The rich think that the poor might try to harm them.  So, the rich have armed themselves with various tools, systems, schemes and regimes the poor cannot use.   The rich have no friendship to the poor, while the poor always feel unhappy, for they cannot become any rich.

But, above the poor and the rich, there is God.

The most important point is that God does not expect that mankind is split into the two groups: the rich and the poor.  So, God would correct this situation in the human world.  Actually He once sent His Son to the human world, though bad Romans and filthy priests of Judaism executed Him.

And it is well known that Christ Jesus is to come back.  The poor will welcome Him, but how will the rich react to this extraordinary interference by God through His Son.

I suppose the rich will try to execute Christ Jesus again.

So, I hope that Christ Jesus will destroy the Devil acting behind the rich once and for all.

Anyway God is the creator of mankind but not the poor and the rich if He created the Devil for some mysterious reason.

Mat 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
Mat 4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Mat 4:10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Mat 4:11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

"not tempt the Lord thy God" - Unusual Weather

Mt. Fuji, Today

Unusual Weather

Today a big tempest has covered all over Japan, like a big typhoon, incurring some casualties.

Some meteorologist said that the decrease of ice in the Arctic Sea has made the atmospheric pressure around the north pole weak, allowing cold air mass in Siberia to move more freely even to the southeast and to Japan eventually.

So, this winter (from　December to February) was very cold in Japan with much snow falling in areas facing the Sea of Japan off Siberia.

But in March Japan had a summer day, when the temperature is over 25 degrees Celsius, a few times.  It is the first time in the Japanese history that this extraordinary weather condition has occurred in the end of winter.

In 2011 Japan suffered an M9 earthquake and subsequent great tsunamis, but the summer of 2010 was dangerously hot in Japan.

I hope that those extraordinary warm days in March are not an ill omen for 2013.
