Spirits Generate Minds but Flesh are of No Use 

Christ Jesus once clearly mentioned spirit in comparison of flesh:

(John 6)

62 What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.

The human mind is based on the physical body but it is also linked with the spirit.  But, it is not easy for us, the modern humans, to clearly recognize that there are spirits in or under our minds.  However, we have to admit that our life does not depend only on our bodies, since we live guided by our minds.

We can also think of the God who has no physical body although He can have it as He wishes.  As the God is a spiritual entity, we can be also spiritual entities.  And, if we admit that we are also spiritual entities, we have to admit that the words delivered by Christ Jesus are spirit, since they give life to us and Christ Jesus is linked to the God.  In other words, we have to understand our being spirits as we can think of the God who is spiritual existence.  Through connection with the God, we can clearly recognize that there are spirits in or under our minds. 

First of all, everybody should admit that he has the mind as well as the body.  The body is made of atoms, cells, and organs, which work based on the law of nature and do not produce the mind although they may provide special conditions on which the mind can be produced and work.  We had better think that our minds are generated through work of our spirits.  In this context, we or our minds came from the spiritual world.  And we or our minds should go to the spirit world after termination of our physical life.  What gives meaning to our life should be spiritual matters such as words of Christ Jesus.

In other words, we can only understand words of Christ Jesus from the spiritual view point.  And, the Bible should be read from the spiritual view point.

Therefore, we have to understand that Christ Jesus especially told about our life in the spirit world after our leaving this world through physical death.  And, Christ Jesus said that spirits of rich men cannot enter Heaven but those of poor men can.  All of His teachings should converge on this teaching, since it is purely spiritual.      

In other words, Christ Jesus as the Son of the God assured that spirits of poor men can be accepted in Heaven no matter how unhappy they are while living in this world.  Everything related to flesh or elements in our physical life in this world is not useful in the afterlife.  But, words of Christ Jesus are effective in the spirit world where our spirits will go after physical death in this world.

As a consequence, we have to try to be poor as much as possible while living in this material world so that we can be accepted in Heaven after physical death in this world.  Probably, the more we earn money in this world, the more we should be drawn to the hells.

But, those brainwashed by Satan with money should hate this teaching of Christ Jesus.  And, those who first followed Christ Jesus but eventually realized the true meaning of Christ Jesus would like to betray Him.

Finally, if we admit that we have spirits and Christ Jesus taught us in terms of spiritual truth, we have to believe that poverty in this world should be the key factor for our being accepted in Heaven when our spirits go into the spirit world after bodily death in this world.

John 5, King James Version

17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.

"glorify your Father which is in heaven" - The Spiritual Dimension Shows Truth

The Spiritual Dimension Shows Truth

There are three dimensions in this universe in terms of space.  And, there is another dimension called time in this universe.  But, one more dimension exists in the human minds, which is called spirit on which minds work.

So, we live in the universe with the five dimensions related to space, time, and spirit.  Usually, science or material science such as physics, chemistry, etc. deals with only issues related to space and time.  Or, a robot controlled by a computer and energized by electricity but without human spirit cannot be a human being who should be controlled by spiritual power.  Put simply, a human being is existence in the spiritual dimension more than the dimensions of time and space.

From this notion, we can deliver a truth that the core of a human being is its spirit, and therefore after physical death in the domains of time and space a human being can continue to live in the spiritual dimension.  And his mind working on his spirit will continue to live or work on his spirit after physical death in this world.  If you die due to the corona-pandemic or the war in Ukraine, your spirt continues to live in the spiritual dimension called the spirit world.  This explains the state of near death as reported by those who had near death experiences.  They observed their dying bodies from the outside of their bodies.

Admitting the spiritual dimension is natural and reasonable because those who deny existence of their spirit are denying it by using their minds working on their spirit.  It is tantamount of denying existence of one's mind while using his mind and thinking in his mind.  Such a person should be called a fool. 

When a man prays to the God, he usually asks a change in situations where he lives.  Or, more specifically, one prays to the God so as to change his material situations.  But, people usually do not understand spiritual truth in material situations.  Even if the God responds to one's prayer to change material situations and He approves it, the result might not be clearly seen in material situations.  The effect of God's response might be only seen in the spiritual dimension.

If a virus or an enemy soldier is going to kill you and you pray to the God to save your life, your body may be simply killed but your spirit should be surely accepted in the spirit world or Heaven.  In this case, will you think that the God did not respond to your prayer?  The true answer to your prayer should be found in the spiritual dimension.     

Apart from individual life, it is interesting to see how the God should respond to wishes of the mankind.  If the mankind wishes continuation of its civilization, the God should spiritually respond to it.  If all the members of the mankind got rotten and debased, the God might lose His love to the mankind.  If He let the human civilization continue, there would be only an increase in the number of people falling into the hells.  To stop such a trend, the God might simply exterminate the human civilization so that none will fall into the hells any more.   In terms of spirit, the God can save the mankind from falling into the hells by exterminating the mankind.  This must be called the last judgment and the end of the world.

You may think that it is a kind of jokes.  But, angels in the spirit world may think that the God has saved the mankind when he sees the God exterminating the human civilization, since no more men would fall into the hells.

In this context, we have to regard the coming WWIII as an occasion to see the judgment by the God in the spiritual dimension.

Matthew 5, King James Version

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

Warnings of Virgin Mary against Coming WWIII

Now, it seems that the human history has entered into a critical period where even continuation of the human civilization is at risk, since it is 2,000 years since the first coming of Christ Jesus while Christ Jesus came to the human world 2,000 years after the era of Abraham.

However, the God loves the mankind so much as to send Virgin Mary to the human world for delivering warnings especially since the middle of the 19th century as follows:

Our Lady of La Salette 1846 Mount Sous-Les Baisses, La Salette-Fallavaux, France

Two shepherd children reported seeing an apparition of Mary, who was weeping because of the disrespect shown to the Lord's Day and to the Lord's name. She entrusted one secret to each of the two children, which they wrote down and delivered to Pope Pius IX.

Our Lady of Lourdes

The Immaculate Conception 1858 Lourdes, France

A 14-year-old shepherd girl named Bernadette Soubirous reported seeing Mary appear to her while she was out gathering firewood in the countryside. Mary identified herself as "the Immaculate Conception" and told Bernadette of the location of a spring, promising miraculous healings from its waters. Since 1862, over sixty medical cures associated with Lourdes have been certified as "miraculous" by the Catholic Church, which established its own Medical Bureau in 1883 to review and evaluate claims of cures. An independent study of cures published in 2012 concluded that some of the cures were "currently beyond our ken but still impressive, incredibly effective, and awaiting a scientific explanation."

Our Lady of Fátima

Our Lady of the Rosary

The Immaculate Heart of Mary 1917 Cova da Iria, Fátima, Portugal

Three shepherd children reported seeing apparitions of an angel (who identified himself as the Guardian Angel of Portugal) followed by apparitions of Mary. Mary revealed to the children three secrets: first, the reality of hell and the means of saving people from it through personal sacrifices and Acts of reparation; second, a prediction of future upheavals (beginning with World War II), the spiritual means of ending them (a Consecration of Russia and Communions of reparation on First Saturdays), and a prediction of an eventual "triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary"; third, an obscure vision of future persecution of the Catholic Church. The apparitions culminated with the Miracle of the Sun, an astronomical phenomenon witnessed by a crowd of approximately 70,000 people, and even by others located miles away.[26] All nine popes since the apparitions – Benedict XV, Pius XI, Pius XII, John XXIII, Paul VI, John Paul I, John Paul II, Benedict XVI and Francis – have indicated their belief in the authenticity of the apparitions. Pope John Paul II credited Our Lady of Fátima with saving his life after he was shot in Rome on the May 13 feast day of the apparition in 1981, and donated the bullet that wounded him to the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Fátima.[27] In 1925, eight years after the Fátima events, Lúcia, then Sister Lúcia, reported another set of related apparitions, which became known as the Pontevedra apparitions.

Our Lady of Mount Carmel of Garabandal 1961-1965       San Sebastián de Garabandal, Cantabria, Spai 

Four girls reported seeing apparitions of Saint Michael the Archangel and the Blessed Virgin Mary. The girls heard Mary predict a forthcoming "Warning" from God, apparent to the whole world, that will precede a "Great Miracle." If these do not result in the conversion of the world, a great Chastisement will follow. 

Our Lady of Akita 1973 Yuzawadai, Akita, Japan

Sister Agnes Katsuko Sasagawa reported seeing a statue of The Lady of All Nations illuminate and reported hearing messages, even though she was deaf. The same statue also miraculously wept, a phenomenon repeated on 101 occasions and broadcast on Japanese national television. The messages were apocalyptic in nature, warning of coming calamities if mankind is to not repent. One such prophesy stated,

If men do not repent and better themselves, the Father will inflict a terrible punishment on all humanity. It will be a punishment greater than the deluge, such as one will never have seen before. Fire will fall from the sky and will wipe out a great part of humanity, ... the good as well as the bad, sparing neither priests nor faithful. The survivors will find themselves so desolate that they will envy the dead. The only arms which will remain for you will be the Rosary and the Sign left by My Son. Each day recite the prayer of the Rosary. With the Rosary pray for the Pope, bishops and the priests. The work of the devil will infiltrate even into the Church in such a way that one will see cardinals opposing cardinals, and bishops against other bishops.

Our Lady of Medjugorje

The Gospa Queen of Peace 1981–present Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The reported apparitions of the Virgin Mary to six children in Medjugorje, beginning in 1981, have received significant attention due to the numerous miracles that large crowds of pilgrims report experiencing on an almost-daily basis, including dramatic conversions, visions, rosaries turning to a gold color, astronomical phenomena like the Miracle of the Sun, etc. The alleged apparitions are also notable for their duration, having been occurring continuously for almost 40 years. The apparition messages contain five main requests: first, to pray the entire Rosary daily; second, to fast on Wednesdays and Fridays; third, to attend Mass as often as possible; fourth, to go to Confession at least monthly; and fifth, to read the Bible daily. The alleged apparitions were vigorously opposed by the local bishop, Pavao Žanić of Mostar-Duvno. Various commissions appointed to investigate the apparitions did not come to a definitive conclusion and left the events open to further study.[93] On March 17, 2010, the Holy See announced it was taking over formal investigation of the alleged apparitions at Medjugorje, with Cardinal Camillo Ruini heading an investigatory commission that ran from 2010 to 2014.[94] Pope Francis authorized official church pilgrimages in 2019, but without making any declaration on the alleged apparitions themselves.

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

Until the La Sallete apparition, the Marian apparitions had been aimed at increasing faith in a general way, but since La Sallete, Virgin Mary started to deliver warnings against coming fatal situations in the world leading to the end of the world. 

Indeed, Swedenborg, a notable psychic in the 18th century, wrote that he had seen the last judgement being executed in the spirit world around 1760 so that its effect would appear 2 to 3 centuries later in the human world.

It should be also noted that Issac Newton, a great scientist in the 18th century, wrote after his long devout study on the Bible that the end of the world might start after 2060.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Virgin Mary changed her stance since the La Sallete apparition in 1846.  Truly, since then, the world has been moving through WWI, the Russian Revolution, WWII, the Chinese Revolution, the cold war, the Vietnam War, the wars between Israel and Islamic countries, the Persian Gulf War, the War on Terror, and the current Ukraine War.  Probably, WWIII should be imminent.      

It can be understood by seeing the human world still being ruled by Satan.  Satan has used money to brainwash people so that they accept evil and more evil for money, success, happiness, etc. in a gradually ever increasing degree.  Today, people are revering Satan as if it were a god.  Yet, Virgin Mary has authority and might to drive Satan and evil spirts out of the human world.  But, as so many people or an ever increasing number of people have died to enter into the spirit world and finally fall into the hells, She must become so sad.  She wants the mankind to avert the fatal fate, although the God looks determined to punish the mankind with Satan.  

So, the third world war looks unavoidable.  Nuclear weapons might be used.  Hundreds of millions of people might be killed worldwide.  And, so many people will fall into the hells.

Nonetheless, if we fully read the Bible, prey to the God, and act faithfully to Christ Jesus and Virgin Mary, we will be saved by Christ Jesus in His second coming and the human civilization will continue beyond the 21st century.  The mankind will face the 22nd century of glory, breaking off the relationship with Satan as Virgin Mary wishes...

John 5, King James Version

14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
16 And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
