Collapse of Current Material Civilization

The current material civilization is going to collapse in this century.  We had better prepare for it with our minds adjusting for the tragedy.

Now it is 2,000 years after the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ in this world while the first coming of the Lord Jesus Christ was 2,000 years after the era of Abraham.  So, we should accept our fate, since it seems that the God has taken time enough to judge the human beings.   

However, after the collapse of the current material civilization in the 21st century, a new civilization based on spiritualism should come.  This spiritualism should be linked with teaching of the Lord Jesus Christ.

In the 22nd century, none will be afraid of death, since all the people understand that their minds with souls continue to live in the afterlife or the spirit world as spirits.  No unnecessary machine, computers, software and AI should be used so that people would not tarnish or soil their faith in God, since products of material civilization are of no use for salvation of souls of human beings.  And, no fossil energy and nuclear energy should be used, since people can find a way of using spiritual energy in this world.        

The main activity of people should be prayer and worship to the God but not activities to earn money, accumulate wealth, and seek for material happiness.  In deed, people should revere the God in this world like they would do so in the afterlife or the spirit world.

And, this new civilization based on spiritualism should continue for next 500 years since the Great Pyramid at Giza was built 500 years before the era of Abraham.  The history should be balanced.

Yet, it is unknown what will happen to the mankind after the 45th century.  Indeed, none will live in the earth, this solar system, or this Milky Galaxy.  All the human souls might be allowed to live in the spirit world; and only evil spirits and Satan might be left in this world.

Anyway, the Holy Mother Mary will cease to feel sad as She will not have to see any more human souls fall in the hells.

Matthew 7, King James Version
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

"His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence" - These Stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham

These Stones to Raise up Children unto Abraham

The God created the spirit world and the material world including the human world.

But, it seems that the God first created the spirit world and then the material world using spiritual energy in the spirit world.  And then, the God created the human world using the spiritual energy and the material energy in the material world.  Therefore, the spiritual energy can work in the material world and also in the human world.

And the Lord Jesus Christ emphasized that the God Himself is a Spirit: 

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4)

We have to admit that we have the material body and the mind working in the body.  Even scientists who have tried to find where the mind is in the brain have to use their minds to claim that there is no such a thing as a mind in the brain.

We should assume that a spirit comes from the spirit world to enter into the human brain to become a soul working to generate a mind.  Indeed, even AI in an artificial brain in the computer cannot generate a human mind working on a soul generated from a spirit.  But, it is a surprise that the human brain made of material atoms and molecules can provide an environment where a spirit enters and becomes a soul to generate a mind.  

However, the Lord Jesus Christ said that the God can generate descendants of Abraham from stones:

And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham.  (Matthew 3)

Indeed, rocks, stones, and debris floating around the sun about five billion years ago formed the earth to generate various living things and finally the mankind including Abraham.  No ancestors of Abraham were floating among the rocks, stones, and debris around the sun about five billion years ago.  But their spirits were waiting in the spirit world for the living things to be generated in the earth and evolve into homo sapiens.  As the brains of the homo sapiens grew to be complex enough to give room to spirits for performing complicated work, the spirits came into the brain of the homo sapiens so that the human beings were established.        

No human minds can be generated from rocks, stones, and debris floating around the sun five billion years ago.  They were generated as human spirits entered into the brains of the mankind to become souls whose work gave rise to minds. 

So, it is clear now that the God created the spirit world, the material world, and the mankind with souls and minds made of spirits like the God.  However, we are not other gods.  Spirits that became human souls to generate human minds should be essentially different from the Spirit of the God.  But, they should have power to use the spiritual energy like God's Spirit.  

The key to understanding supernatural phenomena, spiritual ability and supernatural power of men, and various miracles caused by saints and holly men like the Lord Jesus Christ is how clearly we can understand this truth.

Put simply: Where have we come? We have come from the spirit world; Where are we going? We are going back to the spirit world; and What are we? We are spirits in the foam of souls with minds in the human bodies.

To be precise, without faith in the God who created the spirit world and the material world, we are nothing or a kind of rocks, stones, and debris just floating around the sun.

John 7, King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged" - Civilization should be Spiritual but Not Materialistic

Civilization should be Spiritual but Not Materialistic

This material world was created by the God using spiritual energy in the spirit world through His imagination, notion, and words.  That is why various supernatural phenomena could happen in this world through the spiritual energy.

A spirit in the spirit world comes into a baby in the womb to become a soul, and a mind is generated from the soul.  But when the man dies, his soul with the mind returns to the spirit world as a spirit; yet the mind continues to work on the spirit in the spirit world.  Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of death.

This is the conclusion of the quest on life and death carried out since establishment of humanity for hundreds of thousands years or about a million years.  So, primitive men lived spiritually with non-logical fear of the great spirit called a god.  

However along with development of material civilization, the mankind came to lose spiritual inspiration.  The more the material civilization was developed, the less spiritual the mankind became.  Convenience, pleasure, and pleasant sensation obtained from products of the material civilization have tarnished, soiled and debased the spiritual ability of the mankind to use the spiritual energy.      

This situation must have alerted various great spirits in the spirit world and even the God.  So, around 500 years before the Lord Jesus Christ was born, Judaism, Plato, the Buddha, Confucius, etc. appeared in the human world with help from the great spirits in the spirit world.  And finally, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in the human world 2,000 years ago as direct intervention from the God.  Yet, the material civilization has continued to develop further especially after the Industrial Revolution launched in the late 18th century.      

 

However, the Lord Jesus Christ appeared in front of Swedenborg before the Industrial Revolution started to have him the chance to see the spirit world as a living man and write his experiences.  Yet, the material civilization continued to develop so that the Holy Mother Mary started to appear to give warnings to the mankind since the late 19th century through WWI, WWII, the Cold War, the War on Terror, and the Ukraine War.

So, it looks the urgent issue in the spirit world to change minds of the mankind since the end of the material civilization is coming closer.  The situation in the human world should also affect the spirit world.  If the mankind failed, all the efforts made by the Lord Jesus Christ, the Holy Mother Mary, etc. in these 2,000 years should become in vain.  Only Satan should feel happy.

Finally, we have to become more spiritual oriented.  We have to read the Gospels from a spiritual point of view.  The Lord Jesus Christ did not perform various miracles through magic or tricks, but He did it by use of the spiritual energy that surpassed physical laws in the material world. 

Anyway, if the mankind could survive the 21st century, its civilization should be spiritual but not materialistic in the 22nd century.
