Know Holy History and Language
(Savoir l'histoire et la langue saintes)



A US news program presented the famous VJ-Day picture taken on the street of New York on August 14th, 1945.

The Japan-US War in WWII was a result of the then US Government's conspiracy to force the Empire of Japan to choose abandonment of all the interests in the mainland China or all-out economic sanction including embargo on export of oil from the U.S. to Japan.

1. Chinese political leaders wanted the U.S. to start war against the Empire of Japan that was trying hard to secure its legitimate interests in China, if viewed from the international standard of those days, while being adventurously attacked by Chinese military forces that were also engaged in its civil war.

2. The U.S. wanted to enter the Chinese market, since it had been suffering aftermath of the Great Depression, while mistakenly thinking that the Empire of Japan would block its entry to the Chinese market.

3. The then US Government wanted to save the U.K. from Nazi Germany; so it needed an excuse to join WWII. They thought that if they had virtually declared war against the Empire of Japan by posing all-out economic sanction, the Empire of Japan would surely attack the US military bases in Asia, specifically 100% those in the Philippines.

Though the Empire of Japan had had no intention to make war against the US but had wanted more economic ties with the U.S., it was forced to take some drastic measures, since it lost the way to import oil and also earn dollars from export to the U.S. market still suffering aftermath of the Great Depression.

(When the Imperial Army advanced to Vietnam according to an agreement between the Empire of Japan and France before the Pearl Harbor attack, the then US President misunderstood it as Japan's unlawful invasion, due to his lack of diplomatic knowledge, thus making himself more determined to threaten the Empire of Japan in negotiations where the Empire of Japan made every reasonable effort to avoid the war in line with the diplomatic commonsense of those days, namely 66 years ago.)

Therefore, the Empire of Japan had no clear roadmap at the beginning of the war, except that the U.S. would change its attitude if it had found that a war against the Empire of Japan would cost too much as would be proven at Pearl Harbor.

The U.S. Government had expected the Japan-US war to begin soon with minor damages to the U.S. military but did not tell the perspective and its intention to the U.S. citizens before the Pearl Harbor attack. But, the damages at Pearl Harbor were far beyond their expectation, thus shocking the US Government as well as citizens.

But, Nazi Germany, Chinese political leaders, and the U.S. Government were all die-hard.

Accordingly, the Empire of Japan came to be controlled 100% by the samurai-spirited Imperial Military organizations which honestly observed their principle "living is in fighting and dying."

The Japanese language is not an international language. But, it is a rare language.

Though it is the language of the second largest economy in the world and of the most successful race with the most advanced spiritual culture, almost nobody except Japanese can speak, write, and think in Japanese.

There are two language groups in North and East Asia. One includes Chinese and Tibetan; and another consists of Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Turkish.

The latter is also regarded as belonging to a larger language group that covers Finnish and Hungarian (as well as probably Georgian and Basque or further the languages used in the Indus Civilization and the Sumerian Civilization).

Indeed Japanese is one of authentic languages as with Hebrew, to your astonishment.

(If you speak New Yorkers' English in Japan, no one thinks you have more wisdom and knowledge but would guess you have some New York money. It is not respect. You are making a big mistake with the lack of ability to respect Japanese.)

But, Japanese is unique, even compared with Korean. Japanese spoken language is based on quadruple measure but Korean spoken language is on triple measure like so many European languages, including English and French.

For the professional class of Japanese language learners, "Nihongo no rizumu: yon-byoushi bunnka-ron (Japanese Rhythm: the theory of quadruple-measure culture)" by Mr. Sadanori Bekku must be useful to gain more insight (http://www.chikumashobo.co.jp/product/9784480089427/).

In addition, the beauty of the Japanese language is really felt when it is spoken by a true Japanese heart which is hard to find in these days except in old Japanese movies created before WWII. We really need good elementary school teachers who would correctly teach pupils how to read, say, "Saita Saita Sakura-ga Saita (They have blossomed, blossomed; Cherry blossoms have blossomed)."



(Indeed, it is not a matter of "L" and "r," good girls. It is a matter of loving noises of insects and sounds of winds in the Japanese Islands facing both Siberia and the Pacific Ocean since at least 10,000 years ago, though truly I love your "L" and "r.")

When The Saints Go Marching In
(Quand les saints vont marcher dedans)


The image of the true theocracy according to the Bible:
Rev 4:1 (2005) After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.

Rev 4:2 (2006) And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.

Rev 4:3 (2007) And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

Rev 4:4 (2008) And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

Rev 4:5 (2009) And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Rev 4:6 (2010) And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal: and in the midst of the throne, and round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.

Rev 4:7 (2011) And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.

Rev 4:8 (2012) And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, LORD God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.

Rev 4:9 (2013) And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,

Rev 4:10 (2014) The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

Rev 4:11 (2015) Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
* * *

Does "four and twenty seats" mean 20 centuries and four wars?

Indeed we have passed 20 centuries already.

In these 20 centuries, the true first world war was the "Mongolian Invasion (a lion)"; the true second world war was the "Spanish Invasion (a calf)"; the true third world war was the "British Invasion (a human mask)"; and the true fourth world war has been the "U.S. Invasion (an eagle)" of the world.

Indeed, the so called WWI and WWII are just part of the U.S. Invasion of the world. But, now the U.S. Invasion of the world, since WWI, has come close to halting just at fronts of Iraq and Afghanistan, which means also that the War on Terror is historically inevitable or fatal for the sake of the prophecy, though it cannot be justified in any human measures.

But, it also means that the Age of the "True Theocracy" must be near, since there are three billion very poor people in the world who have no hope of being saved by 300 million very rich Americans and Europeans.

Or, conversely, to bring about the Age of the "True Theocracy," you must put an end to the U.S. military invasion of the world as well as terror symbolizing the lack of love in all the religious communities on the earth.

But, who would do that? Mongolians, again? Muslims with suicide bombs and kamikaze? Or, a civil war in America again taking 600,000 lives? You had better find a saint and go marching in following him to Holy Jerusalem or the Kingdom of God.

Truly, when a saint goes marching in, he is more valuable than a sparrow, since he could stop and end the US military invasion of the world and corresponding terror, if the God or Allah so wishes.


(If you want be part of manifestation of the divine will, you can be....Then, a miracle will prove you, if the God so wishes.)

The Abominable, The Murderers, The Whoremongers, The Sorcerers, and The Idolaters vs. Holy Jerusalem

(L'abominable, les meurtriers, le Whoremongers, les sorciers, et l'Idolaters contre Jérusalem saint)



Give thanks to God, since we are allowed to live to this century, as the Bible gives various prophecies:

Rev 21:1 (2001) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Rev 21:2 (2002) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Rev 21:3 (2003) And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Rev 21:4 (2004) And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Rev 21:5 (2005) And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Rev 21:6 (2006) And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

Rev 21:7 (2007) He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Rev 21:8 (2008) But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 21:9 (2009) And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Rev 21:10 (2010) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

Rev 21:11 (2011) Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

Rev 21:12 (2012) And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:

In the 21st century, people should think about the "true theocracy" that can be more democratic than today's democracy and assure more freedom of religion than today's democracy.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theocracy)

God is above any political systems and religions.

If you were born in the U.S., you would become most probably an American calling yourself a Christian.

If you were born in an Islamic state, you would become most probably a Muslim calling yourself a Muslim.

But, who decided that you should be born in the U.S. or in an Islamic country?

It is not you, but the God.

Truly, God is great and God or Allah is the only god for us, servants of the Lord!

Water of Life, Tree of Life, and The Throne of God

Water of Life, Tree of Life, and The Throne of God
(L'eau de la vie, arbre de la vie, et le trône de Dieu)


Rev 22:1 (2001) And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.

Rev 22:2 (2002) In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Rev 22:3 (2003) And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:

Rev 22:4 (2004) And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads.

Rev 22:5 (2005) And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

Rev 22:6 (2006) And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.

Rev 22:7 (2007) Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.

Rev 22:8 (2008) And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.

Rev 22:9 (2009) Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.

Rev 22:10 (2010) And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
...
(The King James Version of the Bible)


All I can say is that for God a thousand years is one day. Man's evolution in these 1.4 billion years from energy of quantum vacuum must take only 7 days for God, if he so sets for his care for Angels.

At least, for the healing of nations all over the world, mankind should accept this prophecy.

This is the ultimate promise of salvation for the human world consisting of many nations.

Think about the world with a notion to this prophecy; then you will not be misled, since it tells the ultimate promise of salvation for the human world consisting of many nations must come through the water of life, the tree of life, and the throne of God.

Theocracy is the first and the last form of politics which however should begin immediately in the seventh year of the 21st century, or the seventh year of the 22nd century since the Age of Caesar of the Roman Empire whom Popes have taken on even to this day.

Divine Comedy 2007 (VIII)
[Comédie Divin 2007 - VIII]

1. Ms. Reiko Dyulan
Probably when Ms. Yoko Ono was enjoying a life in New York in early 1960's, Ms. Reiko Dyulan was learning art in London where, she wrote, she felt as if having been treated like a monkey or something like that.

According to her book recently published, "Japan, A Nation Never Colonized (Ichidomo Shokuminchi ni Natta-koto ga-nai Kuni)" written in Japanese, she later succeeded as an artist in Japan and married a Swedish man to enjoy more international experiences.
(http://www.jbook.co.jp/p/p.aspx/3400484/s/)

Though she looks like lacking some virtues a respectable Japanese lady of a traditional type is expected to master, she still has to rely on her identity of being Japanese to protect her pride, which is very natural.

So, she wrote that she got shocked when she was asked in Amsterdam, Holland, by a woman from South America as to what Japan's "master country" was.

Of course, Japan has never been colonized by any foreign country in its glorious history recorded for 2000 years.

(Specifically, Spain, Britain, and France could not defeat Japan's samurai military force, since Japan had more guns, gold/silver and advanced social systems in those colonial days.)

Though Ms. Reiko Dyulan cannot be regarded as having insight, personality, and faith in Japan enough to represent Japan and Japanese, she still reported on her encountering deplorable ignorance and blindness of people in the world on Japan.

Ms. Reiko Dyulan also reported on strong respect to Japan found in young people of Republic of Madagascar who felt being cheated so much by France.

Japanese should take a look at her book for some reasons. You may, contrary to my opinion, come to like her.


2. Ms. Yoko Ono
Last night, in a Fuji TV news program, to my astonishment, Ms. Yoko Ono wearing a T-Shirt with the logo "Berlin" was televised in a reference scene.

She was sending a video-message to an assembly of people trying to revive the glory of the Hibiya Kokaido Public Hall, one of famous old buildings in Tokyo, the construction of which her ancestors donated big money to 80 years ago.

(Ancestors of Ms. Yoko Ono also donated a memorial hall to the University of Tokyo.)

Indeed, Ms. Yoko Ono was a child of one of the wealthiest families in Japan.

What I like about her is that she has not talked about or written anything in a manner as if she were representing Japan or Japanese.

Ms. Yoko Ono born in a super rich family in Japan might be a humble person from her childhood. The marriage with John Lennon might have made her more humble, however, enjoying more fame internationally.

Can she be honored with the Nobel Peace Prize someday? Please donate more, Mrs. John Lennon, since there is more room in Heaven, if I may say so.


3. Ms. Yuriko Koike
Defense Minister of Japan Ms. Yuriko Koike has had jealousy and accusation arise among some members of the Tokyo political community.

While the ad-hoc session of the Upper House of the Diet was convened as its election was over, she flew to the U.S. somehow abruptly to reinforce the bridge of mutual security between Japan and the U.S., though.

She met the Secretaries of State and Defense of the US Government as well as Vice President Mr. Dick Cheney, which tells how she has been regarded well.

Now, those who are blaming Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for LDP's defeat in the election seem to be aiming their attack on his minister Ms. Yuriko Koike.

Though most of senior members of the Liberal Democratic Party are trying to force Mr. Shinozo Abe to resign as soon as possible, it would not be easy, partly because Ms. Yuriko Koike is very popular among ordinary people.

I do not know what Ms. Condoleezza Rice will do after January 2009; but Ms. Yuriko Koike will never fail in national election. She will surely continue to secure her position as a national law maker, though she will probably not be able to become Japan's first female prime minister in future.

(As Koike-san was once a TV news reporter, she still looks nice, even in comparison with Rice-san.)
["san" is a summary method for honorary prefix in Japanese]


4. Female Volleyball Team of Japan
Last night the female volleyball team of Japan defeated the Taiwan team.

They really represent Japan and Japanese in my view.

Tonight, they are going to be matched with the Holland Team. As I purchased a FPD TV around January 10 this year, I can enjoy the game more pleasantly.


(Twenty five years ago, I was working in a very prosperous computer sector, to your surprise. But, I met a kind of ill spirits there so as to leave it for a kind of an exile.

Indeed, they could not lead the world since then, for there were ill spirits in there and I left them for a kind of an exile 25 years ago.

But, another story then began under a God's gaze, to your surprise, too.

Anyway, read the story of Jesus Christ, good girls, in a vacation just like I did while in a state of unemployment around Tokyo 25 years ago.)

Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God

"they say the time..."heals a broken heart...
"but the time has stood still...
"since I can stop...
(http://music.yahoo.com/Ray-Charles/I-Cant-Stop-Loving-You/lyrics/36014543)


Marriage and Immorality without Fear to God
(Mariage et immoralité sans crainte à Dieu)


2000 years ago, Jesus Christ specified the meaning of marriage, according to my King James Version of the Scripture compiled in 1611 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_James_Version):

Mar 12:18 Then come unto him the Sadducees, which say there is no resurrection; and they asked him, saying,

Mar 12:19 Master, Moses wrote unto us, If a man's brother die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Mar 12:20 Now there were seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and dying left no seed.

Mar 12:21 And the second took her, and died, neither left he any seed: and the third likewise.

Mar 12:22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: last of all the woman died also.

Mar 12:23 In the resurrection therefore, when they shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for the seven had her to wife.

Mar 12:24 And Jesus answering said unto them, Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?

Mar 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
* * *

If those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God think about anything about marriage, their thoughts lead to error.

The meaning of marriage can be understood only by those who read scriptures and/or know the power of God.

Therefore, when those who neither read scriptures nor know the power of God marry, often what they call marriage is nothing but an error.

An error on the earth does not work in Heaven.

So, if they are admitted to Heaven, they will be treated according to an assumption that they have not made an error, that is, erroneous marriage(s).

If marriage on the earth does not lead to more blessing in Heave, such marriage will be regarded as an error.

Critically, 2000 years ago, marriage is based on belief in God. But, nowadays, it is based on a contract, a law, or a kind of criminal conspiracy. People today call what could not be admitted as marriage 2000 years ago the marriage.
* * *

In my personal view, if a total amount of evil things after marriage is larger than the sum of amounts of evil things a man and his wife have committed each separately before their marriage, it is an error not a marriage.

If a man or a woman marries with a plan to abuse the system marriage for doing more evil things, it is a crime against the God.

In this context, Vatican itself is a great error, too.

Poor people also should learn from the Buckingham Palace and Paris.

Or do you think Jesus Christ would praise those that have been promoting moral crimes against God while giving a fatal excuse to terrorists?

Then, my friends with holy allegiance, what are they?


(And, do not even call it a marriage.

Indeed it's long, long time ago those happy hours turned to make me blue...

Truly, I set up and made up my mind...)



"...It was the tenth day of the new year, which was the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken to exile...On that day I felt the powerful presence of the Lord..."

St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish

"Sweet wings you must borrow...
"make straight for the shore...
"indeed, red sails in the sun set...
"truly, she goes on sailing no more...
(http://www.bluegrasslyrics.com/all_song.cfm-recordID=sp1054.htm)


St. Peter's Coins from the First Fish
(Pièces de monnaie de rue Peter des premiers poissons)

Peter was keeping some coins hidden secretly without telling the fact to Jesus Christ.

Peter knew that Jesus Christ would not praise him for still keeping some coins secretly hidden.

Jesus Christ had truly said to give all his money to the poor and follow Him.

But, Peter, with a worry about worldly needs, still kept some coins for himself secretly.

Then a tax collector came to them one day.

Jesus said to Peter to catch fish, find a coin in the mouth of the first catch, and then pay it to the tax collector.

Peter caught fish and put all his coins into its mouth to show them to Jesus Christ.

And then Peter paid the coins to the tax collector who was so amazed as to report it to the Roman Governor...

Now Peter was free from pang of conscience. But, Jesus Christ came to be under surveillance of the Romans who knew Moses had been also a miracle performer.

But a true miracle happened in the mind of St. Peter who could make a quantum leap to higher faith or the way of life based on mercy of God alone but not money at all, once for all.



(Indeed, to be rich while being praised by Jesus Christ is truly difficult. Can your money predict when you die, though you may not be even sad thinking about it, since you do not like God?

Follow St. Peter, however, if you are rich, and pay tax for Jesus Christ and His followers.

Truly, you will be able to catch people, probably mostly poor and called Not-My-People.)

A TV Set Story

[An N.K.'s nuclear bomb damaged this TV set.]
[The God persuaded me to buy this one. (This screen image is irrelevant to this report.)]
[Can you see me...Pouvez-vous me voir ?]



A TV Set Story
(Une histoire d'ensemble de TV...?)

It is only several years ago that I began to receive NHK satellite broadcast signals.

I purchased a Sony TV receiver which showed views of the earth taken from a Space Shuttle by a Japanese crew when first connected to an antenna. So, I thought this spending was blessed by the God.

When the 9/11 terror occurred in 2001, it was mainly NHK satellite news channel that I mostly watched so as to know the state of New York. As NHK relayed the US ABC News programs, it was Peter Jennings that mostly presented the live broadcast from New York for me, as one of audience in Japan.
* * *

Then a few years later, I subscribed to a cable TV broadcast service. I mostly enjoyed old Japanese movies and US History Channel, though I intently watched CNN when a big incident occurred in the world, such as the US invasion of Iraq, the Indian Ocean Great Tsunami, the Pope's death as well as the New Orleans tragedy.

At that time, I think Bill and Soledad as well as Heidi were mostly observed on my Sony TV screen as I often tuned into CNN at night in Japan.

Anyway I had been a busy man; and my Sony TV set unfortunately did not present better images for US programs via a cable tuner due to unknown problems I however did not mind much.
* * *

Then last year when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb as their first explosion test, my Sony TV set started to malfunction as part of a great miracle. (Or more correctly just before the news flew in, my TV got damaged as if telling me North Korea finally donated their atomic bomb in the northern Korean Peninsula.)

I had to punch or tap the chassis of the TV set to start getting images. For a few months, I practiced this way to trigger TV picture display. Anyway, my favorite TV programs in those days were sports programs, such as live broadcasting of female volleyball games and female figure skating competitions. So, there were no problems for my punching and hitting my TV set to get pictures.
* * *

Then early this year, at last, my punching and tapping did not work any more.

So, I connected a wire from a cable TV tuner to an LCD display monitor of my Fujitsu PC. It worked.

As I did this change of monitor connection in one morning of January, I happened to view clearly a US TV program unlike before. It looks like having discovered new people on a TV screen without confusion of personalities any more.

Then I decided to purchase a new flat panel display TV set; so, my flat-panel-display TV viewing just started in January this year, so humbly.

Though I had been a busy man, one of my missions ended at the end of 2006. Then I decided to write more for the blog EEE Reporter in 2007, which made me feel like checking US TV programs more intently. So, anyway, I needed a better TV set.

The new flat panel display TV presented more clear pictures than the old Sony set.

Inevitably, my new flat panel display TV also showed more clearly Japanese TV announcers. Though I had thought for a long time that the only beautiful female TV personality in Japan is NHK's Ms. Kuniya, I found there were more.
* * *

In short, I had not liked to spend much money for TV viewing, for a long time for a certain personal reason no one would know forever.

But, a Sony TV set and satellite TV programs were useful for checking the 9/11 terror and other subsequent global incidents.

And, when North Korea tested its nuclear bomb last year, my Sony TV set got half-broken.

Then, from this January, I started to use a flat panel display TV set to get higher quality of pictures.

Indeed, it is God who had persuaded me to buy the Sony TV set and then the flat panel display TV set.

Truly, God is merciful and He is the very Creator of the universe and mankind.


(In addition, my CD/tape player was also half-broken a few years ago. And, when North Korea blasted a nuclear bomb, its CD function got completely halted.

Anyway it is convenient to copy contents of music CDs into one of my PCs to listen to them. But, my only concern now is if I should copy contents of analogue music tapes, old and new, into a PC in digital format instead of playing them with my half-broken CD/tape player.

Probably, I will not. Music tapes containing "Jet" and so on should be left and forgotten someday.

Truly, in some of these days, you will miss me honey, even if you are, say, in Paris.)

Proverbs in the King James Version of the Bible:
Pro 9:5 (1995) Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled.

Pro 9:6 (1996) Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Pro 9:7 (1997) He that reproveth a scorner getteth to himself shame: and he that rebuketh a wicked man getteth himself a blot.

Pro 9:8 (1998) Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Pro 9:9 (1999) Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning.

Pro 9:10 (2000) The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Pro 9:11 (2001) For by me thy days shall be multiplied, and the years of thy life shall be increased.

Pro 9:12 (2002) If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

Pro 9:13 (2003) A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Pro 9:18 (2008) But he knoweth not that the dead are there; and that her guests are in the depths of hell.

In 1995, there was a sarin gas attack of terror in Tokyo, where I was close.

In 1995, there was also a great earthquake in Kobe, the large modern port city near Osaka, the center of western Japan, where I might have been close.

Since then, Japan has been relatively safe, while I have been praising God.

And then, the years have passed through 1997, 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2005 with so many tragedies between Muslims and Christians from East Africa to Afghanistan and Indonesia and from Baghdad to Istanbul, Madrid, London, and New York as well as Moscow and southern Russia.

Indeed, it is 12 years since 1995 when Japan suffered tragedies hard to comprehend, yet knowing not the age of global terror coming soon to claim an unacceptable number of innocent victims.

Now the world has to come to think who has scorned spirituality and poverty of the world.

As a proof, "EEE Reporter" has been issued from Japan to you, regardless of your whereabouts in the spiritual space projected from the earth below.


(Once there was a young beautiful girl I encountered in Tokyo. She had beautiful blond hair and blue eyes.

I named her "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented.

Truly it is decades ago in Tokyo that I met a young beautiful girl with beautiful blond hair and blue eyes whom I named "Jet," since she looked so keen and talented on campus.)

The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)

(pourtant fleurs humbles)


The Mona Lisa (La Joconde)


The most interesting thing for me about Shakespeare is that he did not praise Jesus Christ and His followers in his works.

It is just like "Harry Potter" does not include praise to Jesus Christ and His followers.

Indeed, British are interesting people in this context.

But, it may be a little different that I cannot feel any pious emotion to Jesus Christ and God in works of Leonardo da Vinci.

I do not think that Leonardo da Vinci reasonably understood Jesus Christ and God.
* * *

When the late Japanese Prime Minister Kakuei Tanaka visited France decades ago, or in early 1970's, he went out to see the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) in Musée du Louvre.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mona_Lisa)

It is reportedly said that he said, "This is truly a genuine article!" Then it was decided to send the picture to Japan for display, which eventually became one of two rare occasions that the Mona Lisa (La Joconde) was displayed outside France (another occasion is in Russia).
* * *

First of all, I do not trust Leonardo da Vinci about his piety. Thus, as a bad tree bears a bad fruit, I do not trust the value of the Mona Lisa as well as all the other works Leonardo da Vinci presented.

However, from a technical point of view, the picture the Mona Llisa is really appealing.

Traditionally, Japanese artisans are No.1 in the world in terms of creating fine and exquisite handicrafts in various fields. So, only Japanese may be able to sense the level of technique Leonardo da Vinci mastered.

The Mona Lisa is regarded as an application of fine and exquisite handicraft based on a theory Leonardo da Vinc found in terms of relationship between technique and effect.

It is not a miracle result of love, passion, and emotions expressed on a canvas.

It is a result of an application of expertise Leonardo da Vinc mastered.

With the level of technique and expertise, a genius without love and faith in Jesus Christ and God would be even able to depict Him in His most difficult time, such as the last supper.
* * *

Indeed, you do not need faith and love to depict faith and love on a canvas as long as you have mastered the highest technique and expertise in a field of depicting something on a canvas.

But, does it mean that a Devil has won at the highest level of a category of art?

Indeed, the Devil must be proud, but the Devil cannot jump to another higher dimension of art. A Devil's work can be a number one at a certain level of a certain field, but there is another dimension for the field. He cannot win there.

Any picture painted with love and faith in God would surpass a Devil's work even if it is so well depicted with the highest skill and expertise.
* * *

Look at a lovely and decent picture of a young lady you are fond of or love, you will not think that you must be a fool if you cannot understand a hidden feeling of a painted lady, such as Mona Lisa (Joconde).

Leonardo da Vinci loved the smiling of Mona Lisa (Joconde) as he took it in a camera in his mind the moment the model showed for a certain reason.

The smiling just appeared on the face of the model but disappeared forever. Yet, it stayed in memory of Leonardo da Vinci forever. He just put it out of his inside camera to relocate it on a canvas. And, they matched, since he could invent a special skill of depicting something so finely and exquisitely.
* * *

Japanese artisans were traditionally not interested in naturalistic painting. They did not try hard to depict a model so as to present specifically how he or she really looked.

It is rude and manner less.

Indeed, Jesus Christ did not allow for any paintings or drawings of his figure. Even no graphic and realistic description seem to have been allowed.

Yet, He seems to have left a shroud with His images printed on mysteriously, which really amazed, horrified, and moved His followers 2000 years ago.
* * *

However, you may like to see how women who followed Jesus Christ looked like.

So, then, you can look at Princess Diana and Mother Teresa, both of whom however died in 1997, the fatal year leading to 2001 and today.

Or do you think Mona Lisa (Joconde) was a believer of Jesus Christ?

Then what are you looking at in or on the Mona Lisa (Joconde)?

Go and find a pious lady who may have come from the Kingdom of God!

All Time Heroes and Heroines
(- 2007 summer service edition limited -)

Heroes:
1. Jesus Christ as Man
(Nothing to say about his influence in these 2000 years. Even the superpower of today the U.S. owes almost everything decent to Jesus Christ.)

2. Abraham
(Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, each as a religion, are just a secondary matter compared with the relationship between God and Abraham.)

3. Buddha
(His teaching once overwhelmingly covered India, China, and Japan. Today, you cannot expect any influence that can overwhelmingly cover India, China, and Japan.)

4. Marco Polo
(Columbus is in a sense just an urchin reading Marco's report and dreaming of the country of gold Japan or the future glory of America.)

5. Napoleon
(Anyway you have to choose somebody as the fifth. Taking into consideration the French Revolution, allowing for the U.S. independence ideology, and successive dominant European Civilization, good or bad, it is an easy name to take.)


Heroines:
1. Joan of Arc, or Jeanne d'Arc

2. Cleopatra

3. Himiko
(Ancient Japan's mysterious queen allowing for Japan's history recorded authentically as Japan is the all time greatest nation-sate of a race.)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Himiko

4. Wu Zetian
(The only madam Emperor of China who was so nice to Japan)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wu_Zetian

5. Queen Elizabeth I
(Anyway you have to choose somebody as the fifth from the Anglo-Saxons)


Great Minds:
1. St. Paul or Paulos

2. Murasaki Shikibu
(A Japanese female writer of one of the earliest and most famous novels in human history, proving a cultural level of the Japanese race 1000 years ago)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murasaki_Shikibu

3. The Unknowns
(Too many poor but peaceful people here and there in history of mankind)

1. Angels

2. Servants of the Lord God


Creators fully respectfully:

(or "Veni vidi vici" as Caesar so shouted)


The most valuable description of the Bible (here the King James Version), as a historical evidence to understand what happened 2000 years ago, is of the scene when followers of Jesus Christ went to the tomb where His dead body had been laid down:

Joh 20:01 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

Joh 20:02 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

Joh 20:03 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

Joh 20:04 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

Joh 20:05 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

Joh 20:06 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

Joh 20:07 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Joh 20:08 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

Now, here, what and why did the disciple believe by seeing something in the tomb?

This is one of grounds for admitting a theory that a body shape of Jesus Christ was imprinted on "the linen clothes."

However, it does not lead to taking the shroud in Turin as an authentic one. It might be the second copy or something like that.

If we accept this theory, the answers to the mystery arising from the last sentence, Joh 20:08, are clear.

Even if, say, Tom Sawyer left his body image in a coffin and disappeared before his burial, people would believe that Tom resurrected and he was actually a holy messenger, departing for a new mission from his territory along the Mississippi.

Indeed, those who believe without seeing are more blessed, though it is often said that seeing is believing.


(A Japanese newscaster reported that a US cable TV was reporting all day long on the Minnesota bridge accident without interruption.

The foreign-looking newscaster herself went out to an expressway outside Tokyo and gave a warning about the global warming.

Check Bridges and Design Charts!!


A school bus carrying 60 Minnesota children stopped unbelievably luckily along a side wall of a suddenly collapsed large bridge over the Mississippi in front of a semi-track which was violently stopped by a heaved and detached surface section of the bridge and started to flame up.
* * *

Several years ago, a large bridge collapsed in South Korea. An old Korean said that recent construction looked well outwardly but lacked true workmanship which had been always assured during the Era of Occupation by the Empire of Japan, though everybody spoke ill of the Empire of Japan in these days.

However, what the US bridge collapse accident reminded me of is of course the huge collapse of the World Trade Center buildings on September 11, 2001.
(http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/WTC)
* * *

There seem to be still many arguments why the WTC towers, designed by a Japanese American, collapsed so drastically almost an hour after the crash by hijacked jet planes.
(http://journalof911studies.com/articles/Why%20Indeed%20Did%20the%20WTC%20Buildings%20Completely%20Collapse%20Jones%20Thermite%20World%20Trade%20Center%20J24.pdf)

There is a possible or hypothetic scenario about the proceeding of the collapse I have figured:
1. The structure of WTC looks too simple, when observing it in a wider view, without complex protective and reinforcement method applied.

2. There is a large vertical elevator space in the central area of each floor from the top to the bottom of the WTC tower.

3. When the tower initially started to collapse (probably due to melting joint metal on a crashed floor), the initially falling floors from the top as a single mass hit a certain and decisive floor and its structure, which had most critically supported all the upper structure, the crash of the mass on the very floor should generate a kind of a longitudinal wave with a specific frequency probably close to a characteristic vibration frequency of the whole building.

4. Consequently, a kind of resonance to the vertical direction might happen with destructive energy converged to each joint part of the structure connecting each floor vertically.

5. Therefore, the fate of the WTC towers was decided the moment the first falling mass from the roof hit a certain decisive floor, generating a specific frequency longitudinal wave the power of which multiplied by the resonance effect.

If the impulse frequency had not fit the simple-structure-properties of the tower and had not been multiplied further by the vertical-tube-type structure of the tower, the two WTC towers should have stood even to this day.
* * *

It was once said in Japan that infrastructures in the U.S. had been poorly maintained due to the federal and state government budget constraints as adverse effect of the Vietnam War.

(Another example is the recent hot-water pipe line explosion in New York.)

But, an old Korean, who probably held some grudge against Japan but remembered the era when the Empire of Japan had occupied and controlled the Korean Peninsula before WWII, praised the conscientious workmanship of Japanese companies and administration in building infrastructures in Korea.

(The occupation by the Empire of Japan was not a Western style of colonization. Today's historians and politicians in the world, including the U.S., should check and study it.)
* * *

US TV reporters and casters much worried about safety of passengers, rescue workers, and relatives in their live coverage.

I am now a little worrying about the durability of the Tokyo Tower, the Eiffel Tower, and the Empire State Building.

And that is why I openly state my faith in Jesus Christ and the Lord God Almighty, while no one is found at this level of horizons.

You had better check a bridge and a chart your soul needs to live and die.

Finally, no more tragedies in this summer are my sincere wish.

(We often hear that people running from terrorists were killed in a church where they were hiding, or a church was completely destroyed by a hurricane or a tornado.

Indeed, a religion is not a matter. A church is one type of buildings. It is faith that cannot be killed and destroyed. It is faith where you can hide completely safely.

A religion is directly connected to business and money. But, faith does not fit to business and money.

Construct a bridge, a tower, and a building based on faith but not a religion.

I really like to meet people of faith but not of a religion, say, on any jetty, tower, Shinkansen terminal, river bank, or station, since I feel like a kind of hiding in a lonely post along a great river which may really overflow next time.)


"...so that they grow bolder to preach fearlessly..."

Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, Princess Diana, and Who?

...nice but...(... gentil mais...?)


Hatshepsut, Cleopatra, Princess Diana, and Who?


Could it be a revelation or an event of good omen?
" June 27, 2007—This mummy is the body of gender-bending female pharaoh Hatshepsut, who ruled ancient Egypt as both queen and king nearly 3,500 years ago, archaeologists announced today.
....
The scientists are also conducting DNA tests, and preliminary results suggest a close familial relationship between the mummy and that of Hatshepsut's grandmother, Amos Nefreteri."
(http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/06/photogalleries/queen-mummy/index.html)

There are some arguments about Hatshepsut's relationship with Moses:
"Hatshepsut was the daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I (a.k.a. Thutmosis) of XVIII the Dynasty during the New Kingdom, Egypt's Golden Age. Her reign was in ca. 1490 - 1468 B.C. Some historians believe that she was the Pharoah's daughter that drew Moses out of the Nile."
(http://www.hyperhistory.net/apwh/bios/b1hatshepsut_3hm.htm)
* * *

Egypt could not be a hero in the human history. It is Israelites, Greeks, Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, Christianity, and Islam. Its great pyramids could not become a symbol of their glory and hegemony over the Middle East and around the Mediterranean which had been highly expected but could not come true in these 5000 years.

Even Jesus Christ reportedly mentioned almost nothing about Egypt.
* * *

Even though Moses looks like a half Egyptian helped by female pharaoh Hatshepsut, Egypt had not share the glory of Israelites and Jesus Christ.

But why?

Egypt could have been a literally world empire with hegemony over three continents: Africa, Europe, and Asia. But, since the era of Alexander the Great, no heroes and heroines emerged from original Egyptians, while providing a great stage for the foreign heroine Cleopatra.

But why?
* * *

It is their faith and religion.

The God or Allah was not pleased with religions and faith of ancient Egyptians, in my view.

For example, the God did not punish Greeks and Romans for their religions and faith; but He instead showed extreme preference to the religion and faith of Israelites.

When Greek-origin Cleopatra died in a war against the Roman Empire, the God seems to have decided to send His Son among Israelites but not in Egypt.

And, 600 years later, the God seems to have decided to provide Islam with people in the Arabian Peninsula but not in Egypt.

But, again, what was wrong in their faith and religion?
* * *

Egypt, from the ancient days of Hatshepsut with Moses involved through the era of Cleopatra with Herod and his clan involved to these days with Princess Diana involved, seems to have been given a special role by the God or Allah.

And, I think the reason consists in their faith and religion of the era symbolized by pyramids, which makes the pyramids all the more mysterious.
* * *

The true rival of Israelites for wining God's favor must have been ancient Egyptians but not ancient Greeks.

Ancient Egyptians built that great tangible monument called pyramids; but ancient Israelites built great intangible code of conducts and ethics before their God which are symbolized by Abraham and his clans.

The God loved a mind set and behaviors of Abraham.

(Most importantly, Abraham's mind set and behaviors are not inherently Arab but Sumerian.)
* * *

It is a big omen that Hatshepsut's body is identified in 2007.

We may see another divine queen as well as another Moses in these days, though not necessarily in Egypt.

They may emerge, say, from the poorest community in America, since they can be another Hatshepsut and another Moses beyond worldly fates.

Or, possibly, they have been already in your sight in whatever style.


(You may wonder what merit lies in the issue of such queens and princesses.

Indeed, we still need Mother Mary to educate various types of bad men, women, and couples.

Truly, it has passed decades since the death of Marilyn Monroe.

So, I will ask any man what his wife's ranking is toward either Mother Mary or Marilyn Monroe, so that he would probably find how blessed or coursed he is, if I may so imply.

Anyway, the Hatshepsut class can be rather easy for a man proving himself to the Lord God, even in my context.)


"...and He would give you life-giving water..."

Release Koreans in the Name of Allah!!


A Christian missionary group consisting of twenty-three Koreans was kidnapped and two of them, a priest and a former IT worker, were killed by the Taliban, while other 21 were still at a risk of execution.
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6923455.stm)

If the Taliban killed 23 Korean Christians, it would be extremely alarming to the world, since "Pakistan has seen a massive increase in violence ever since Pakistani troops stormed the Red Mosque in early July," according to BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6921746.stm).

All the Muslims in the world should tell the Taliban to release Koreans in the name of Allah, since the Taliban and AlQaeda are reportedly fighting in the name of Allah.

Besides, the worse your enemies are in tactics, the better you have to be in strategy; if they kill one man, you have to save one life to win the favor of Allah.
* * *

And thus, I still recall part of the novel "Moby Dick":
"And, doubtless, my going on this whaling voyage, formed part of the grand programme of Providence that was drawn up a long time ago...:

"Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United States"
"WHALING VOYAGE BY ONE ISHMAEL"
"BLOODY BATTLE IN AFGHANISTAN."

Saudi Arabian Mr. Osama bin Laden and Egyptian Mr. Ayman al-Zawahiri were Muslims; and it is said that Muslims consider Arabs to be descendants of Ishmael.

If "Moby Dick" is a prophecy, it clearly states that when a grand contested election campaign for the Presidency of the United States is heated on and bloody battles are going on in Afghanistan, Muslims like a crew under Captain Ahab are going out for attacking a gigantic-white-whale-like nation which might be the U.S., the U.K., or EU.
* * *

If something too extreme and bizarre has happened, we have to take heed of its significance and analyze its potential.

It was precisely when I heard a news report on AlQaeda's bombing of US embassies in East Africa in 1998 (after the death of Princess Diana in association with an Egyptian in 1997).

If you are an American citizen who has never realized or felt the huge influential power of the U.S. on other countries, you might not have been so alerted. But, with such a notion, it was truly an act of madness, since the bombing in 1998 was tantamount to declaring war on the U.S. which is essentially too large, strong, and influential to, as a hypothesis, attack by force for any cause not related to justice of all the mankind in the whole human history.

But, more alarming was that the Clinton Administration did not appropriately address it. Scores of missiles launched to AlQaeda camps in Afghanistan could not be effective unless US troops had been sent to deep in Afghanistan to arrest leaders of AlQaeda.

And, the Clinton Administration and the successive George W. Bush Administration did not send their troops to Afghanistan (except in the wake of the 9/11 terror in 2001) to arrest leaders of AlQaeda for their having bombed the two US embassies in East Africa, an act of overstepping a conventional paradigm of anti-US guerrilla activities.

In those days, I felt really uncomfortable in the course of events in Afghanistan; and eventually the answer came out with the 9/11 Terror (which must have been probably fatal to you for probably terribly unknown reasons, if any).

The same uncomfortable feeling has stemmed from the recent bloody incidents in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
* * *

I hope that the Taliban would release all the captive Koreans, mostly young Christian ladies engaged in a bona fide mission.

Though it is said that such a large-number-hostage-taking operation cannot be carried out by local Taliban followers but those under a chain of command from some Taliban's headquarters in Pakistan, they should release all the captive Koreans.

I do not believe Allah is glad to see his believers going to kill total 23 Korean civilians in Afghanistan, since it would be too extreme and bizarre.

I hope that a miracle will happen upon them all concerned, since this summer should not be another summer of 2001.


(Interestingly, US Vice President Mr. Dick Cheney is going to make a TV appearance on "Larry King Live" of CNN this week. What Mr. Cheney represents may be truly a "Moby Dick."

Indeed, when I was a schoolboy, I liked "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," in Japanese, since Tom returned alive just at his own funeral with his girl friend or Huckleberry Finn.

Have you read any? Or the "stories of the Thousand and One Nights" for your future survival?)

Everybody Is Talking About...


Early this morning, Mr. Makoto Oda, an anti-Vietnam-War movement hero in Japan, died.
(http://www.time.com/time/asia/features/heroes/oda.html)

It was symbolic as both the socialist party and the communist party of Japan decreased the number of their Upper House members in the yesterday's election in Japan.

In Japan, traditionally, being liberal has meant to be looking on North Korea and China or the Soviet Union, all autocratic states leveraging Marxism, with favor.

However, an ex-TV female caster with official endorsement of the ruling party LDP got into the Diet, though she had been severely under fire for her past attitude to voting in elections, namely too much abstention.

The Liberal Democratic Party for the first time lost its leading party position in the Upper House, though Prime Minister Mr. Shinzo Abe is reportedly determined to keep his position.
(http://www.yomiuri.co.jp/dy/national/20070730dy01.htm)

Everybody associated with rich Israelite Americans in New York seems to be talking about China and India, as if the two countries were born friends of liberty and democracy in addition to market economy.

There is no freedom of press, expression, and ideology in China. You cannot criticize Chinese communist leaders on any street in China if you do not want to be brought to a court which often delivers a death sentence to an enemy of the Communist Party, since it is not a democracy.

There is not much meaning in freedom of press, expression, and ideology in India. You are yet to see an Abraham Lincoln in India, since its society, except large cities and modern industries, is based on strict class structure called caste, which makes its democracy almost meaningless (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caste).

On the other hand, since the end of the Tokugawa samurai regime in 1868, Japan has been struggling in order to introduce and establish true democracy. Even in the Imperial regimes before WWII, Japan was advancing to equal and democratic society, though the progress was severely damaged in the deterioration of the world economy after the Great Depression which started in the U.S. in 1929 leading to the Japan-US War.

Before WWII, specifically, in 1925, the Empire of Japan introduced universal suffrage by adult males for its Lower House Election.

It was when China was in the massive civil war (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_Civil_War) and India was a desperate colony of the U.K.

Japan has been a more organized country than the U.S., the U.K., and, for example, France as well as China and India in these 2000 years.

Everybody should talk about it.


(That is why it is no wonder that you encounter any non-nonsense Japanese in any field fatefully, which should be correctly grasped beyond a biased influence mostly generated in New York.)
