"no man laid hands on him" - Right View on History



The Arakawa River around Tokyo

Right View on History

No animals than the mankind have a sense of history.  Animals mostly concern about their individual existence, subsistence, and survival.  In this context, the mankind left the realm of animals when it came to think about history.  So, the human civilization began when a myth was created by each tribe.  But God seems to have been pleased with the myth by Jewish people more than the myths by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, etc.

Without a sense of history, even a man will do any stupid thing like, say, Trump.  However, with misunderstanding of history, men will do more stupid things like Chinese leaders in Beijing.  What is worse, without a spirit to candidly observe history and understand the meaning of history, a tribe will also behave madly like South Koreans stupidly and hollowly attacking Japan, since Japan occupied Korea between 1910 and 1945, while Japan provided huge aid to South Korea after WWII.   

In this context, it is very dangerous to have a king or an emperor in a nation who believes that he is a descendant of a god.  And one of such royal families is the Imperial Family of Japan.  That is why all the Japanese people fought, like brainwashed members in a cult religious group, the wars against the US and China in WWII.

However, the focus here is on the Vatican.  The Pope is virtually an emperor of the Christian kingdom on the earth.   But it does not seem that he is living in the history of the Vatican, Christianity, and Judaism.  The Vatican should explain what it has performed in the past.   And the Pope should tell every communication by each predecessor with God and Christ Jesus.

Nonetheless, God was, is, and will be forever.  Only God has the complete and perfect view on the history of the mankind.

Anyway, learning of and having right view on history are essential for human beings to be civilized and pious before God.

Joh:8:20: These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.
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.
