Toward Clarification of the Spirit World as the End of the World is Closer
Since the late 19th century, spiritualism or communications with the spirit world have been intensified as many and various people have come to report their near-death experiences or psychic phenomena.
Indeed, it might tell that the end of the world is coming closer, since the Bible (Act 2) says:
17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:
21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Therefore, when molecules, atoms or element particles that are material or substance build a human body or the brain in specific configuration, a mind is generated, the mechanism of which is, however, not yet scientifically elucidated.
So, it must be possible that this whole universe that is material or substance has a kind of minds. However, conversely, it might be possible that spirit generate a material universe like ours. In other words, it seems reasonable that the God, who is Spirit, created this material universe where human beings and their minds have been generated.
The material world and the spirit world must be closer than we think that they are. And, the God must be able to put spirit in the human brains, so that some people come to have the spiritual ability to communicate with spirits in the spirit world.
Through WWI and WWII, human activities regrading communications with the spirit world seem to have been intensified. It must indicate that the end of the world has come closer. For example, the Marian Apparitions at Lourdes were reported in 1858; the Miracle of Fátima occurred miraculously in 1917; Raymond Moody wrote strenuously his books about Afterlife and near-death experiences (NDE) since 1970s; and even some American children saw Heaven or Christ Jesus, books on which became bestsellers in the U.S. in these decades.
Therefore, as it is 2000 years since the first appearance of Christ Jesus in this world, the end of the world must come closer in the 21st century, since some scientists are trying to clarify the mystery of consciousness, which should lead to deeper understanding of the spirit world and religious matters.
However, there is Satan in the spirit world. It should try to interfere with these human activities related to the spirt world. Satan must be able to come into the minds of preachers, priests, bishops, etc. Therefore, only spiritual phenomena linked to faith in the God or Christ Jesus should be trusted among many and various stories reporting spiritual experiences. Especially it must be necessary to keep watch on those who earn money by selling their spiritual ability or power.
Nonetheless, it is better to choose a priest with true spiritual power as the Pope or the head of any churches.

Mark 7, King James Version
20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man.
21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders,
22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:
23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
