A Specific Gene to Suppress Coronaviruses

Identical twins have the same genes and DNAs, but they come to look and behave a little different, showing each uniqueness, as time goes by.  It is thought that their genes were not activated in the same manner: some genes are switched on only in one of them and other genes are switched on only in the other. 

Even a queen bee has the same genes as those in a worker drone.  But a young worm of bees that eats royal jelly becomes a queen bee, and other young worms that do not eat royal jelly become worker drones.  The queen been grows 1.5 times larger and lives 20 times longer than a worker drone, producing 2,000 eggs per day.

There are 3 billion bases in DNA and 23,000 genes on DNA of a human being.  However, how each of base and gene works is not yet completely understood.  And how each gene is switched on is not completely clarified.

Even some scientists are afraid that this kind of study might cause extinction of the human species, since fatal and bad genes might be switched on in the wrong time as a result of study.

Yet, it is thought that Christ Jesus healed the sick and caused miracles on people by activating some desirable genes in them.  So, it is natural and reasonable that we try to find the way to switch on desirable genes. 

So far, it has been found that foods, exercise, and environment influence activation of genes.  To keep health, we had better care for foods and physical exercises.  To keep suitable physical and psychological conditions for better living, we had better care for environment.  Then, necessary and desirable genes would be switched on.

Although a significant amount of our genes and bases in DNA in us seem to have been introduced by viruses into cells of our ancestors and inherited up to us, say over millions or more years, there must be some genes not yet found in our cells that can suppress invasion of viruses into cells of our bodies.  And to activate them, we have to take necessary foods and exercises and set up a desirable environment around us.    

Otherwise, we had better read the Bible and wish that the power of Christ Jesus would reach us over 2000 years of the time span and beyond vast geographical distance.  Then, some parts of DNA might be changed to a specific gene with the ability to suppress corona-viruses.

Luke 9    King James Version

18 And it came to pass, as he was alone praying, his disciples were with him: and he asked them, saying, Whom say the people that I am?
19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.

"the Jews did not believe concerning him" - Dying Man and a Different Phase of the World

Dying Man and a Different Phase of the World

A Japanese in the profession for handling the dead in a funeral company found that most of the dead had soft faces regardless whether they were good people or gangsters.  But religious people such as monks, priests, etc. did not truly see their faces, and even bereaved families were absorbed in worldly matters while sitting before dying men.

It is said that more than 100,000 people have died every month in Japan nowadays (not including victims of the corona-pandemic).

He thought how dying men would see the world and what they felt.  And he checked various books including ones written by past prominent Buddhist monks, Christian scholars, and poets to find that some dying men saw some kind of beauty in the world around them.  Even some felt light in the space.

But his wife did not like the profession of her husband to cleans dead bodies, as she thought people would look down on such a profession.  His uncle also despised him.  But when his uncle was dying in a hospital, he went to visit him for the first time in many years.  His unlcle showed gratitude for his nephew's visit from the bottom of his heart in his dying bed, and soon after it, he died.  On the occasion, the funeral company man felt light with unusual color around him.  The gratitude his dying uncle showed to him moved something in his mind, although he had been long despised or rather hated by his uncle as his profession had been regraded as throwing dirt at his clan.  Every business related to death, except religion and medical services, has been socially despised or looked down on.

Through these experiences, the funeral company man deepened his thought about death.  Eventually, he wrote a book based on his experiences and his quest on death.  It became a best seller in Japan,  and TV station staff came to make an interview with him.  He talked hours especially focusing on Buddhism, but in a broadcast program, all his talks about religion were cut out of the broadcast.

Without religious sense, he concluded, death could not be understood.  And every death could lead a dying man to a different phase of the world or situations around him.  No matter if it could be medically or biologically explained why dying men saw unique light and smiled, it must be a phenomenon that could be understood only from a religious point of view.

In this way, the funeral company man has become a unique writer and been invited to lecture presentation 2,000 times in 20 years in Japan, although he did not launch any religious organization or cult.     

One piece of his advice is to let children see a dying family member and make them have a concrete image of death, so that such children would not run to extremes and could respect life and living things.

All I can hope is that dying people due to corona-viruses would not forget seeing light and smiling beyond their pain, since any death would show a dying man a different phase of the world, like Andersen's "The Little Match Girl."

John 9    King James Version

16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.

"looking up to heaven, he blessed them" - Do Not Eat Much, Do Not Cool Yourself, but Activate Necessary Genes

Do Not Eat Much, Do Not Cool Yourself, but Activate Necessary Genes

Here is advice for people wishing to secure their health against corona-viruses, etc.:
Do not eat too much, since gluttony decreases the level of immunity in the body.
Do not cool the body, since low temperature decreases immunity.

And, a Japanese medical doctor who worked even after 90 years of his age advised to activate desirable genes in cells of one's body.

The natural healing power of a man depends on work of some genes in cells of his body.  Medical services just help patients activate necessary genes.  But Christ Jesus, when healing the sick, must have activated his genes to conquer the disease.

We have not yet discovered a scientific way to activate necessary genes like Christ Jesus did.  All we have to do is to read the Bible so as to purify our minds and direct our consciousness toward our bodies and cells, and pray and wish that necessary genes would be activated in response to our prayer and wish.          

So, it is lucky, when you are sick, if you have nurses, etc. around you, who have faith in God and real compassion to you, since they will provide medical services for you with prayer to the God, wishing that you become well and thus activating necessary genes in your body.

Luke 9    King James Version

14 For they were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them sit down by fifties in a company.
15 And they did so, and made them all sit down.
16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed them, and brake, and gave to the disciples to set before the multitude.
17 And they did eat, and were all filled: and there was taken up of fragments that remained to them twelve baskets.

Close to the Biblical End of the World

Epidemiology of plague is discussed as follows in Wikipedia:

The pandemics were:

the first plague pandemic from 541 to ~750, spreading from Egypt to the Mediterranean (starting with the Plague of Justinian) and northwestern Europe[3]

the second plague pandemic from ~1331 to ~1855, spreading from Central Asia to the Mediterranean and Europe (starting with the Black Death), and probably also to China[3]

the third plague pandemic from 1855 to 1960, spreading from China to various places around the world, notably India and the West Coast of the United States.[4]

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epidemiology_of_plague) 

The first pandemic caused the shift of people from the Mediterranean to the central parts of West Europe mainly through rivers, leading to development of Paris, London, the Netherlands, etc.

The second pandemic caused the shift in Christianity from the Vatican-centered Catholicism to the more liberal Protestantism, leading to expansion of Protestantism to North America.

The third pandemic became underlying conditions or a warning to the global wars including WWI, WWII, and the Cold War in addition to the Opium war, the US Civil War, the Japanese-Russo War, etc.

The world has survived to the present day despite these pandemics with West Europe, North America, the Vatican, and Protestant churches leading the civilization that was built over these pandemics.

But, this corona-pandemic was generated and started to spread from China challenging Western countries and trying to get hegemony over the world, while using technologies developed in Western countries.  The global shift of power seems to continue since the end of the Roman Empire through the rise, stagnation, and rebirth of the Vatican, the material success of European countries and America based on Protestantism, and the material development of non-Christian East Asia (Japan, China, etc.) caused by the material success in Christian West Europe and America.    

In this context, the world is entering the last phase of the 2000-year long development based on Christianity.  As the Christian world could not fully realize the ideal presented and suggested by Christ Jesus for 2000 years, China, Islamic countries, militarism Russia, etc. have come to be given chances to have influence on the global history.  But it is unlikely that China, Russia, Islamic countries, etc. can achieve what West Europe, America, and Japan cannot fully establish subject to the teaching of Christ Jesus and the Bible.

Finally, the world history must see that nobody, including Christians and non-Christians, could fulfill the request from the God to the mankind.  The 21st century must witness the result of the human civilization that has been developed and established in these 2000 years since Jesus Christ's birth.

The human civilization developed along with pandemics while some times decisively having been influenced by the pandemics.   But, the God may use another pandemic, if not this corona-pandemics, to put the end of the human civilization.

In this context, it cannot be expected that the 22nd century will come easily without the mankind passing through other decisive pandemics that will surely occur in the 21st century.   We must be close to the danger of the Biblical end of the world.

Mark 9    King James Version
11 And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elias must first come?
12 And he answered and told them, Elias verily cometh first, and restoreth all things; and how it is written of the Son of man, that he must suffer many things, and be set at nought.
13 But I say unto you, That Elias is indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they listed, as it is written of him.
14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him.
