"the twelve were with him" - From Material Civilization to Spiritual Civilization

From Material Civilization to Spiritual Civilization

This world was created by the God, which is taught in the Bible.  And, even the modern science cannot deny it.  

For example, there can be a scientist who has studied the mind of a human being for a long time and finally has found that there cannot be such a thing as a human mind in the human brain.  The scientist denies the existence of the mind based on his long-term scientific study while using his mind.  The modern men look like this scientist.  

But, customarily they may go to churches and read the Bible, since this custom gives them peace of their minds.  Yet, they do not leave their rich life supported by money.  They may think that the most important thing in this world is money next to their lives.  In this context they revere money, which is another form of Satan, as a god, although they never despise the churches and the Bible for their peace of minds.  This status symbolizes the present material civilization.  Therefore, the God should stop protecting the civilization.  We should realize this possibility of critical danger coming to us on a global basis.  We should be in front of the era of great collapse of the human material civilization.    

Indeed, admitting the existence of the God means admitting energy and power that are not contained in this material world.  The power and energy of the God should work even in this material world.  But they are not simply material so that science can detect and analyze them.  Only those who have pure, strong, and deep faith in the God should be allowed to use them.  So, such monks, nuns, and believers have performed various miracles like the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nonetheless, people have chosen to enjoy products of the material civilization based on money.  With pleasure and joy realized by the material civilization, they forget to show gratitude to the God.  They have come to neglect what cannot be identified by use of science.  Indeed, it is money that makes them materially happy but not faith in the God.  So, they believe in power of money more than power of faith.  The current material civilization is based on faith in power of money but not power of faith in the God.

Yet, this material world was not created by money but by the God.  And, people have stopped showing gratitude to the God who created this material world.  Something is wrong.  

Do people dream that they can create another material world like the God in the remote future with further developed material civilization?  Such a crazy dream fostered by Satan should be broken by the God soon or later.  Therefore, it is no wonder that the current civilization will collapse in this century due to interference of the God.

After the debacle of the current material civilization, we should spiritually rebuild a new civilization.  We should stop pursuing material happiness based on money that is another form of Satan.  We should make our faith in the God purer, stronger, and deeper so that we will be allowed to use the spiritual energy and force.              

It is natural that a spiritual civilization prevails in the material universe created by the God who had used His words to make the spiritual energy work so as to create the material universe.  Indeed, the Kingdom of God should be realized only in a spiritual civilization.

Luke 8, King James Version
8 And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,
2 And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,
3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.
4 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:
