At the Critical Moment of the Fate of the Mankind in terms of Theology

Pandemics are terrible and wars are horrible.  But, a false Christ is worse, since it will be a sign of the worst expected to come later.

(Matthew 24)
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
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.

Now is the era 2,000 years after the first coming of Christ Jesus to the human world.  The end of the period started with the first coming of Christ Jesus should come at last.

The real meaning of the Gospels indicating the circumstances, deeds, teachings, etc. of Christ Jesus around AD 30 is to show the battles between the God and Satan.  The God used Christ Jesus, and Satan used devils, evil spirits, and bad guys and betrayers brainwashed by Satan.

Satan could kill Christ Jesus, but could not destroy His teachings.  From the beginning, it was impossible for Satan to destroy the Son of the God.  It is apparent that if Christ Jesus as a man was killed in the human world, He would continue to live in the spirit world.  So, the victory of the God had been assured from the beginning.  But, poor Satan could not stop fighting the God even if it should be punished severely by the God.  Or, Satan might think that it would be its victory if it could make men get corrupted despite their receiving teachings of Christ Jesus.       

As we look back to the history, human beings have progressed somehow in terms of humanity and respect for peace and love through these 2,000 years, but it looks that the level of achievement is still low and not enough.

After Abraham, the God gave a moratorium of 2,000 years till the first coming of Christ Jesus.  And, the God gave another moratorium of 2,000 years from  the first coming of Christ Jesus to the present day.  So, truly the first 2,000 years were before Christ Jesus and the second 2,000 years have been after Christ Jesus.  And, now we are entering into the new 2,000 years of the extension period with Christ Jesus.

But, Satan would surely attack fiercely human beings to prevent the teaching of Christ Jesus from further spreading before we enter into the next 2,000-year period.  And, it is forecasted that Satan will send a false Christ to the human world to misguide the human beings. 

Indeed, most people of today seem to have been already brainwashed by Satan using money and wealth as its tools.  And most of people seem to be revering Satan as a god.  They seem to be thinking that they have to show their obedience to Satan so as to earn money and more money.  Therefore, before the human history can enter into the next 2,000-year period, they should drastically change their ways of believing and living.  They should change commonsense, religions, and views on the world, death and life, good and evil, etc.

This must be a revolution to be accomplished through hard times, global crises, and many tragedies.  So, this pandemic and the war in Ukraine happening in the early 21st century should be viewed and understood from this theological and historical perspective. 

In other word, we are not in the ordinary time in history but at the critical moment of the fate of the mankind.

Luke 3, King James Version

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.
23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was the son of Heli,
24 Which was the son of Matthat, which was the son of Levi, which was the son of Melchi, which was the son of Janna, which was the son of Joseph,
25 Which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Amos, which was the son of Naum, which was the son of Esli, which was the son of Nagge,
26 Which was the son of Maath, which was the son of Mattathias, which was the son of Semei, which was the son of Joseph, which was the son of Juda,
27 Which was the son of Joanna, which was the son of Rhesa, which was the son of Zorobabel, which was the son of Salathiel, which was the son of Neri,

Chaos Should Continue till the 2nd Coming of Christ Jesus

The Bible tells how Christ Jesus would come to this world:

(Matthew 24)
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

It seems that the  "stars" represent the U.S. and the E.U. as their flags have stars on their surfaces.  The "moon" seems to represent Islamic countries as well as China as they respect the lunar calendar.  Even the old national flag of Russia or the Soviet Union shows a sickle of the moon-like shape.  The "moon" must mean Islamic countries, China, and Russia.

But more horrible is the prediction that "the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken."  It implies that the global order and systems led and supported by America and Europe would be destroyed.

In this context, the on-going war in Ukraine should be a part of the prelude to the Second Coming of Christ Jesus.  In other words, before the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, radical Islamic groups, Russia, China, and other autocratic nations should be changed to democratic countries.  And, the world should become the pure arena for battles between evil and the sacred.

Therefore, the current war in Ukraine should lead to collapse of Russia and China in the long term.  It might take decades more.  And then, the current global political and economic systems supported and led by America and Europe should come to crumble away.

However, if people came to read and understand the meaning of the Bible from a more spiritual view, as Swedenborg recommended, people should not need to rely on global political and economic systems supported and led by America and Europe.  When the world becomes more spiritual, Christ Jesus should come to this world.  But, it will take decades more.  In other word, destabilization and messy conflicts in the world should continue till the end of the 21st century.

John 3, King James Version

22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
23 And John also was baptizing in Aenon near to Salim, because there was much water there: and they came, and were baptized.
24 For John was not yet cast into prison.
25 Then there arose a question between some of John's disciples and the Jews about purifying.
26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.

"How can Satan cast out Satan?" - The Spirit of God Can Cast out Devils

The Spirit of God Can Cast out Devils 

There are many bad guys in this world who are causing unhappiness for others.  Most of rich people are bad guys as they cause unhappiness for others.  But it is devils that occupy the minds and hearts of such rich people.  And, saving this world means to save the poor from the rich controlled by devils.  Therefore saving this world means to cast out devils from rich men, and then the kingdom of God should come to the poor.   Accordingly, Christ Jesus said that we have to hope that devils would be cast out by the Spirit of Gold.

(Matthew 12)
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

However, this word suggests that devils in rich men can be cast out only by the Spirit of God.  It means that this world can be improved only through faith in the God.

In this human world, there are many rich men controlled by devils and brainwashed by Satan.  When such rich men die, their souls should be guided by devils to the hells.  And, in the hells, they would be directly ruled by Satan.

But poor men who are inflicted and damaged by rich men would be accepted in Heaven after their death in this world.  Nonetheless, while they live in this world, if the Spirit of the God helped and protected them from rich men controlled by Satan, these poor men could live in peace and grace even in this world.  Therefore, it is highly recommended that poor men have faith in the God so that the Spirit of the God would cast out devils from rich men who are making them suffer.

Devils are spiritual entities.  They come from the spirit world to this world.  And, after men leave this world when they die, they should see devils in the spirit world.  Without protection from the God, no one can be safe in the afterlife.  But, the souls of poor men should be protected by the Spirits of the God or Angels from devils and Satan in the afterlife.

Being rich in this human world means being controlled by devils.  Being poor means that they have to have faith in the God so as to be protected from devils who are using rich men to make the poor suffer.  This is part of truth Christ Jesus made manifest.

Mark 3, King James Version

22 And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils.
23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.
25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
26 And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end.

"he that doeth truth cometh to the light" - Power in the Spirit World and Power in the Material World

Power in the Spirit World and Power in the Material World

A Japanese female notable psychic named Aiko Gibo visited Egypt about 30 years ago for a TV program where she was expected to see internally spirits of ancient Egyptians and their work to build Pyramids (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Cptp9Dvl7s). 

At sight, she saw the Great Pyramids of Giza being built by use of super-natural power.  The main engineer or the key architect at the time, named Hemiunu, told her through spiritual communications that although it was difficult for her and others in the 20th century to understand, there were excellent engineers with super-natural power in Egypt when the Pyramids in Giza were being built.  Her spiritual communications with Hemiunu, etc. who led the work to build the Pyramids can be trusted based on her achievement in the field of clairvoyance.  She was tested on her super-natural ability by scientists, etc. in the U.S., the U.K., China, the Soviet Union, and even in Indonesia to be found so excellent.  Even Uri Geller admitted her ability.  

According to the main engineer, the stones for the Pyramids lost weight almost by half during the work due to super-natural power of his fellow engineers although it was laborers who actually moved the stones.  She also spiritually saw that gods of some holy animals and ancient Egyptians cooperated in the work to build the Pyramids.

But, can men reduce the weight of a big stone by use of their super-natural power?  The modern science should answer that it is impossible. 

However, in Tibet, it is said that there were holy disciplinants of Buddhism who could float in air or walk on air across a river.  It is said that they acquired such super-natural power through hard training in yoga and other spiritual learning.  And, even the Bible told that Christ Jesus walked in air on a lake.  But, of course, modern people cannot easily accept the idea that the Great Pyramids in Giza were built by use of super-natural power of the engineers at the time. 

When the female psychic entered inside the Pyramid for King Khufu, she was terrified as she felt her body was being lifted up to the ceiling of a corridor inside the Pyramid.  She could not even reach the King's Chamber.  Some ancient super-natural power might still remain inside the Pyramid.

Super-natural power is one of key factors in work of Christ Jesus in the Bible.  To believe in Christ Jesus and the Gospels must mean to believe that Christ Jesus actually used super-natural power.  Indeed, this universe and the material world were created by the God from the spirit world.  Therefore, Christ Jesus, the Son of the God, must have been able to use super-natural power superseding physical power such as gravity.

Therefore, there is a possibility that a man can acquire super-natural power resisting gravity through special spiritual training or religious learning to enhance his spiritual ability.  Indeed, there was one Japanese teacher of yoga, named Masaharu Naruse, who succeeded in floating in air some 30 years ago, which was taken into pictures.

Power in the spirit world should supersede power in this material world.  And, it must be part of the teachings of Christ Jesus.

John 3, King James Version

19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
22 After these things came Jesus and his disciples into the land of Judaea; and there he tarried with them, and baptized.
