"except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees" - Wars in 2020s and Natural Disasters in 2030s

Wars in 2020s and Natural Disasters in 2030s

Hiroshima is 300 km west of Kyoto, the old capital of Japan before its westernization in the late 19th century for 1,200 years, which is 500 km west of Tokyo. 

Hiroshima was a military city in Japan before the end of WWII.  It is situated on the inland sea called Setonaikai.  The U.S. military attacked the center of Hiroshima with an atomic bomb the U.S. had succeeded to develop just a month before, which became the first case of using nuclear weapons in a war in the human history.  It was near the end of WWII, namely August 6 1945, when the Empire of Japan led by the emperor and military elites had decided to fight against U.S. troops in the mainland Japan.  As it was expected that fierce battles involving kamikaze attacks by Japanese soldiers (suicide attacks) would kill hundreds of thousands of American soldiers, the U.S. government decided to use the atomic bomb at Hiroshima and next at Nagasaki.  Indeed, at the time, almost every Japanese believed that they had to die in battles against American soldiers for the emperor.  

But, after Russian invasion into the northeast of China and the Kuril Islands then occupied by Japan, following the U.S. nuclear attacks onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki, a port city 300 km west of Hiroshima, the Empire of Japan surrendered to the U.S. and the allied countries on August 15, 1945.  Then, WWII was finally over with 3 million Japanese deaths in addition to 6 million deaths of Jewish people and about 0.3 million American deaths, 14.5 million Russian deaths  as well as other 600 million deaths.  The atomic bomb attack at Hiroshima became one of the symbolic tragedies in WWII like the massacre in Auschwitz.          

This is the general idea about the tragedy at Hiroshima, which is so recognized and taught in Japan to date.  Hence, Japan has adopted the new constitution, recommended by the U.S., which prohibits participation in wars by the Japanese government after WWII.  Japan is now well known as a peace country in the world without possession of nuclear weapons.  Therefore, the Japanese hate its old military elites but are thankful to the Americans who introduced the peace constitution after WWII.  And, the Japanese imperial family could survive this difficult period to date.  In this context, we have to pay respect to American Christianity under its influence the general McArthur, the then supreme commander of the allied army in the Pacific Theater, introduced the draft of the constitution to Japan (though he could not become U.S. president).    

Now the G7 Summit Meeting is held in Hiroshima with President Zelenskyy of Ukraine.  The focus is on how to handle the Russian threat of using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.  In this context, it is important to note that the U.S. etc. have never used nuclear weapons after WWII.  A just one unit of the weapons, if used, would kill not only many enemy soldiers but also tens of thousands or more civilians, since its devastating effect is so large.  It is more destructive than an indiscriminate bombing by hundreds of bombing planes.     

However, in my speculation, Russia would finally retreat from Ukraine without using nuclear weapons, but its troops would soon come back again to attack not only Ukraine but also Poland, etc. with use of nuclear weapons, starting WWIII.  The war would continue through 2020s, but finally Moscow would be occupied by NATO and Russia would be completely democratized.  Yet, the world would have to face a threat coming from China.     

What is worse, great natural disasters including  abnormal climate would ensue in 2030s.  As warned by the Holy Mother, the end of time after comparatively peaceful time after WWII should come.  As the human material civilization has become so rotten and degraded, the God and Christ Jesus should no more protect and sustain the human world.  This must be content of the meaning of the tragic 21st century predicted in the Bible, the Holy Mother, Newton, Swedenborg, and other psychics in Japan and the world in these decades.    

But, none, including the Biblical saints, knows when and how the coming tragedy would proceed.  All we have to do is to pray for material peace and spiritual prosperity of the world.

So, it is recommended to read the Bible at least once a day and try to love poverty as much as possible to suppress Satan, the devils, and other evil sprits.

Matthew 5, King James Version
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.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

"but said also that God was his Father" - Wealth and Death

 

A Park around Tokyo

Wealth and Death

According to FRB and the World Ultra Wealth Report 2017, etc., the top 1% of Americans in terms of possession of wealth have 31% of all the wealth in the U.S., while the lower 50% have just 2%.  In other words, the top 1% keep about about 39 trillion dollars while the lower 50% keep about 2.5 trillion dollars.  

And there are 73,110 super-rich people (or ultra-high-net-worth individuals (UHNWIs) with at least $30 million in investable assets) in the U.S. among 220,000 UHNWs in the world.  Indeed, the U.S. is the most wealthy country in the world.  (There are 16,470 UHNWs in Japan.)  Put simply, the gap between the rich and poor is increasing in these centuries. 

When looking at statistics related to gun accidents, 48,000 people died in cases involving guns in the U.S. in 2021, which was the highest record ever reported by CDC.  During the period of the corona pandemic, wealth and death are both increasing in the U.S.  Indeed, the gun-related deaths in the U.S. are almost equal to the death toll of Russian soldiers in Ukraine since February 2022. 

You may believe that wealth leads to the paradise in this world while death leads to the hells in this world.  But, according to Christ Jesus, wealth leads to the hells in the afterlife, but poor and faithful men's death leads to Heaven in the spirit world.  In this context, wealth is more dangerous than death for poor and faithful men.

Behind these statistics, there is influence of Satan, the devils, and other evil spirits.  It seems that the more wealth is produced in society, the more people die from gun-related accidents.  However, even if you die in gun-related accidents, your soul can be accepted in Heaven after death.  But, if you die with big wealth, you surely go to the hells after death.  Indeed, we should not be afraid of death even in Ukraine, but rather we should be afraid of wealth in this world.  This is the core of the teaching of Christ Jesus.  In other words, we should be afraid of the hells in the afterlife rather than death in this world. 

However, if there are no Satan, devils, evil spirits, etc. behind wealth and money, we may enjoy happiness wealth promises.  We may even possess guns if there are no Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc.  The focus should be on Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. in gun accidents. 

The current war in Ukraine seems to have been started by Russian leaders and elites under influence of Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc.  But, there are influences from Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. in gun-related cases in the U.S.  Until they are all eradicated, wars and gun accidents cannot be prevented.  And, Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. live in the form of money as the Gospels suggest.  In other words, until we abandon money and wealth, wars and gun accidents continue to happen in this world.

Finally, we have to love poverty in order to achieve peace in the international stage as well as streets in the U.S., etc.  There is big wealth behind gun accidents in the U.S.  And there are Satan, the devils, evil spirits, etc. behind big wealth in the U.S.  So, Americans should love poverty more than wealth and money so as to eradicate gun accidents.

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.
