Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Not all the actions Christ Jesus did in His everyday life are recorded in the Gospels.  Not all the words Christ Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels.  And, not all the attacks Satan made to Christ Jesus are also recorded. 

Christ Jesus described in the Gospels was just walking, giving insight of life and the world, preaching about love of the God, teaching how to pray to the God, praying to the God, healing the sick, showing compassion to the poor, and fighting Satan.

He never relished a joke, enjoyed His meal, and talked about foods, clothes, places to rest, rumors about certain people, gossips and small talks, how to gain money and even what He was truly.  And, more importantly Christ Jesus never talked about His family.

So, we might be allowed to wonder what He was doing and what He was thinking in His everyday life.

First of all, Christ Jesus knew that He was under attack by Satan, its devils, the Jewish authority, opposite priests of Judaism, and people brainwashed by Satan.  He must have been aware that spies and betrayers were everywhere, so that He must have been mostly silent.

On the other hand, what were the enemies of Christ Jesus doing except sending spies and betrayers around Him?  Christ Jesus was regarded as an enemy of the Jewish authority, Jewish priests, and Roman troops occupying Israel at the time.  They must have checked His family backgrounds, professional relationships, friends, and enemies.  They must have tried to buy or bribe some of His families, friends, and followers without mentioning Judas of Iscariot.

The consequences of their efforts against Christ Jesus might be even today seen among Jewish people.  And it should be reflected on the Gospels, so that people who became opposite to Christ Jesus due to Satan's efforts were omitted in the Gospels except Judas of Iscariot, etc.  In this context, it is assumed that Christ Jesus was betrayed by more people, including His families, friends, etc., than those described in the Gospels.  The Gospels should depict Christ Jesus narrowly avoiding attacks from everywhere in His human relationships, although they presented Christ Jesus peacefully and safely walking, talking, and preaching.  Christ Jesus was in the middle of battles with enemies sent by Satan.  

Therefore, we may understand why the Gospels do not describe Christ Jesus joking, laughing, and relaxing.  And there is no wonder if most of His families, personal friends, business associates, etc. sold out Him, so that there are no detailed descriptions about them in the Gospels.  

For example, even if Christ Jesus had had a wife or a girl friend, she might have sold Him, so that we may be allowed to think that there are no descriptions of Jesus' wife or girl friend as a result.  And that may be why there are no detailed descriptions of His physical father, brothers, sisters, and cousins and nieces except John the Baptist.  And in this case, compared with those hidden betrayers, the sin of Judas might be lighter.       

Put simply, the Gospels do not report how Christ Jesus was daily harassed, annoyed, and afflicted by evil people brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.   And those evil people might include His family members, friends, etc. whom the Gospels do not describe.

In this context, 50% of people who were close to Christ Jesus or who encountered with Christ Jesus might have been brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.  Enemies of Christ Jesus must be everywhere.  Christ Jesus must have been living all the time in circumstances surrounded by enemies worse than corona-viruses.  

But, the Gospels are presenting Christ Jesus as if He had been living in peace time for a certain care, so that even children can read the Bible.  We should not think that Christ Jesus preached in a leisurely setting and in an easy state.  He must have been always aware that Satan was waiting for its chance to harm or kill Him.  So, there must be more secrets in the Gospels yet uncovered.

1 Corinthians 3, King James Version
19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.
21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

"Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened" - Danger for the Mankind after the Corona-Pandemic

Danger for the Mankind after the Corona-Pandemic 

According an old story related to Buddhism, complied about four centuries before the era of Christ Jesus, a field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life destroyed a wild dog that killed and ate other field rats.  

In certain woods, there was a wild dog who tried to gather field rats to eat them.  For this purpose, he pretend to be a saint.  So, he stood on his two legs instead of four.  When field rats saw the wild dog, they asked why he stood on two legs.  He answered that he was reducing the burden of the earth supporting his weight, because two legs instead of four would give less weights on the earth.

So, all the field rats thought that the wild dog was a saint and came to see him everyday.  But when they went back home in the evening, the wild dog attacked the last one of the field rats leaving for their homes and ate it.  Day after day, the number of field rats decreased.  So, the field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life suspected what had happened to those lost field rats.  

One day, he decided to leave the wild dog on his two legs as the last one.  And, the wild dog attacked the Buddha in life of a field rat.  The field rat found that the wild dog was just a pretender, so that the field rat struck back at the wild dog to bite it to death.  Although it is a little bloody, the story tells that the Buddha, as a field rat in one of his previous lives, killed an evil wild dog to save other field rats.

So, even centuries before the era of Christ Jesus in India far from Palestine, people knew that there was a false saint or Satan pretending to be a saint to gather people with a trick to kill them.

In the Bible, there is warning to a false prophet who would give false warning to people:
Matthew 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.         

Although nobody seems to have predicted this occurrence of the corona-pandemic,  if there had been any pundit who had predicted this pandemic before 2020, people might have been easily handled according to his intention as such a man must have gained a reputation.

However, after this corona-pandemic, people would be more afraid of another pandemic than before.  They might be psychologically unstable and get easily duped by false prophets, evil politicians, etc. offering false solutions to people's anxieties.  And, if Christ Jesus does not come as the second time to destroy them, people might be drawn to real danger of losing their souls.

Anyway, this corona-pandemic would open a new era where the fate of the mankind should get at stake.  Even after the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, Hitler emerged, results of which people still do not forget.

Luke 3, King James Version
18 And many other things in his exhortation preached he unto the people.
19 But Herod the tetrarch, being reproved by him for Herodias his brother Philip's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done,
20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
