"thou art a prophet" - Viruses Cannot Kill Human Spirits

Tokyo

Viruses Cannot Kill Human Spirits

It was widely believed that there are 60 trillion cells in a human body, but more specifically, it is estimated that there are 37.2 trillion cells in a human body.　And each undergoes cell division about 50 times.  Further, every cell has the same DNA and genes.

So, two questions arise: (1) Why a man dies before all these trillions of cells die and (2) what gene or DNA generates a human mind?

Life is not a simple mass of cells, and the mind is not a simple phenomenon caused by genes or DNA.  Life and the mind are at higher levels than cells and genes.

If a man is shot at his heart, cells of the heart are broken by the bullet but other cells are still alive; yet the man dies and, accordingly, other cells also die.  His life is at a higher level than cells, relying on functions of total physical systems in the body.

We don't live as a cell lives, and we don't think as genes order.  We live and think according to the spirit that comes from the spiritual world to this material world.  In other words, it is useless to find the God in the material world.

However, it is interesting that a great number of cells constitute specific structure, organization, and systems to work and function in harmony with one another.  And, these structure, organization, and systems generate their own effective domains.  There, a phenomenon called life is generated, and work of the mind is produced.  They are based on cells, but they have features not found in cells because of difference of domains.  And into these domains, power and an action come from the spiritual world.  Then, life and mind work are generated.

Although it is still a mystery why the God uses this material world, including cells, to generate human beings, all we have to do is to understand the word of Christ Jesus that a man does not live only by bread but also by words of the God.

Viruses and other disease germs can attack and kill cells but cannot attack and kill human spirits.  But, the God can send the Angel of Death to this world to destroy followers of Satan.

And what if all the mankind become followers of Satan?

Anyway, Satan targets human beings but not human cells.

John 4 King James Version (KJV)
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me" - Decisive Catastrophe may Come Decades Later

Decisive Catastrophe may Come Decades Later

It is strange that there are no sincere arguments on the anger of the God, the end of the world, and the Second Coming of Christ Jesus, while the world is suffering the pandemic that has never seen in decades.

However, American politicians continue to say, "God bless you"; the Pope is still enjoying high reputation; and nobody proclaims that the God is dead or there is no God from the beginning.

So, it must be meaningful to claim that this corona-virus pandemic is manifestation of God's anger at men to remind people of the truth that the mankind lives under the rule of the God, although it seems that people have decided to live neglecting the God and pursuing money, worldly success, and material wealth.

Indeed, it must be meaningful, too, to claim that the God, once or 66 million years ago, used a huge meteor by allowing it to come into collision with the earth to exterminate dinosaurs flourishing on the earth, so as to help evolution and development of human species.

We may say that the God was angry at dinosaurs that evolved and developed to a different direction and in a different manner than those expected by the God.  The God might have expected that a kind of dinosaur-men emerged from dinosaurs, but the dinosaur species took a wrong way in its evolution and started to suppress the mammals.  So, the God must have changed His mind to exterminate dinosaurs and give chance to the mammals to generate mammal-men 66 million years ago when the Himalaya Mountains did not yet exist.

So, this time, if the mammal-men that are we, the human species, have taken a wrong direction in its development and started to undervalue the God, it is natural that the God gets angry and starts to exterminate the human species by use of, say, tiny viruses instead of a huge space rock.   

But, it looks as if people had lost a capacity of judgment on their deeds and thoughts.  People look as if they do not know what they are doing, while performing unforgivable blasphemy.  Their religions have become something meaningless or means just to make money or enjoy their selfish dreams while highly contaminated by money economy promoted by Satan.

So, the God might decide to wipe out the human species and replace them with another higher form of life.  And, it might be called the end of the world in the Bible.

Indeed, dinosaurs had existed for about 160 million years from 230 million years ago to 66 million years ago.  And ancestors of the human species separated from chimpanzee 7 million years ago, and the human species were established about 2.5 million years ago.

Although their history is short in comparison with that of dinosaurs, there is no denying that the God might judge that there is no hope that the human species break off the relationship with Satan and completely follow the God.  Then, the God might send the Angel of Death to the earth again like 66 million years ago.

In this context, this pandemic might be a prelude to real catastrophe to the world.  However, the decisive catastrophe may come decades later or about 150 million years later like in the case of dinosaurs.

Luke 4 King James Version (KJV)
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

"manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it" - Turn to the God by 2040 or 2060

A Botanical Garden, Tokyo

Turn to the God by 2040 or 2060

In 1973, an MIT computer, dubbed World One, predicted that the world would end by 2040.  And, "2020 is the first milestone envisioned by World One. That's when the quality of life is supposed to drop dramatically" (https://bigthink.com/paul-ratner/in-1973-an-mit-computer-predicted-the-end-of-civilization-so-far-its-on-target).

Although it seems that World One did not foresee the rise of China in the early 21st century and the pandemic started in China, its prediction coincides with Newton's famous prediction about the end of the world as starting in 2060.

Apart from World One and Newton, based on the Bible and history books, you may well think that something grave and great should occur in the early 21st century, while nothing occurred at the end of the 20th century, since 2000 years have passed since the crucifixion of Christ Jesus that had occurred 2000 years after the emergence of Abraham.

For example, the Second Temple in Jerusalem was built in 516 BCE, existed there during the era of Christ Jesus and His direct mission to the Jewish people, and then collapsed in the Jewsih-Roman War in 70 CE.  And it was 2000 years from the Great Pyramid in Giza to the Second Temple in Jerusalem.  Indeed, 2000 years are a period of mystery and fate.

And, the basic idea about the end of the world is this:
The mankind develop civilization, meaning science, technology, and social systems, to be materially rich, but at the same time, they get corrupted and demeaned, which Satan wishes.  But there is no reason for the God to accept such mankind and their civilization.  Therefore, if the mankind and their civilization derogate beyond a certain threshold, the God would surely interfere with the human history to send the Angel of Death to the human world and put an end to their history, so that Stan would fail in completely controlling the mankind.  So, it is no wonder that the current corona-virus pandemic has occurred as the Angel of Death has stopped other Angels from stopping the pandemic.         

But, it seems that this pandemic is not decisive one.  It is a kind of a preliminary drill, according to my reference to the Bible.

Yet, can the mankind repent enough and change their minds and attitudes drastically to cut their connection with Satan and turn to the God by 2040 or 2060?

To defeat Satan must be more important for the God than to make the mankind stay alive, since believers would be allowed to enter Heaven after their death.

Acts 4 King James Version (KJV)

15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,

16 Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.

17 But that it spread no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name.

18 And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.

"spoken by Esaias the prophet" - Ability of Mind to Strengthen Immunity against the Corona-Virus

Tokyo

Ability of Mind to Strengthen Immunity against the Corona-Virus

Christ Jesus did not have knowledge, skills, and devices modern doctors have.  But He healed and cured many sick people only by His spiritual power.

Today, some scientists believe that work of a human mind can turn ON or OFF genes in his or her body.  Most of illness are caused by some genes that happened to be wrongly turned on or off.  But, it seems that the work of the mind of Christ Jesus could even turn on or off genes of others.  Or, sick people who felt love in Christ Jesus must have unconsciously invoked special work of their minds to turn on or off of their genes that had been wrongly turned off or on.

In this context, the object of medical science should be discovering specific ways of using mind to turn on or off specific genes rather than creating drugs.

When this object is fulfilled, men will be able to turn on or off specific genes by work of their minds to defeat disease germs.   

For example, sportsmen know that they have to train hard and keep training to improve their performance.  Meanwhile, their minds must start to automatically work to turn on or off genes necessary for improving his performance.  What's more, every sportsman knows importance of image training.  Through the process of image training, the sportsman should unconsciously invoke the ability of his mind to turn on or off necessary genes for his performance.

So, the corona-viruses must be suppressed if we find the way to invoke specific work of our minds for turning on or off genes that can strengthen immunity against the corona-virus in our bodies. 

Anyway, Christ Jesus can be seen as a master in using this ability of our minds to turn on/off genes.

Matthew 4
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.

"Art thou greater than our father Jacob" - The 1727 Miracle to Save European Christians

On Tokyo Bay, Tokyo

The 1727 Miracle to Save European Christians

In 541 the first plague epidemic occurred in the Eastern Roman Empire.  This black plagues spread as far as England and France for 60 years, killing hundreds of thousands of Europeans.  In the 11th century, when the first Crusades returned to Europe from Palestine, the black plagues carried black rats was brought into Europe.

And then, in 1334, an epidemic set off in Hangzhou, China, and consequently the black plagues carried by black rats were introduced in Italy through Central Asia in October 1347.  By 1348, the black plagues invaded Europe north of the Alps.

As a result, 20 to 30 million Europeans, meaning one third or a half of Europeans at the time, died of the plague.  This plague gave various significant influences on Europe.  Especially, most of French-speaking educators were exterminated in England, although since the Norman Conquest in 1066 education in England had been conduced in French by these French-speaking educators, so that education in England was started to be conducted in English after the plagues.  Incidentally, quarantine was started in Venice in 1377.

In 1727, a large group of brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) got across the Volga river of Russia from east to west, spreading in Europe and driving out black rats from Europe.  Since then, no black plague has set off in large magnitude in Europe.

Interestingly, it was around 17th to 18th century that brown rats invaded Japan.  But, it was 1899 that black plague was first found in Japan as it came from China.  However, Japanese deaths from the black plague was about 2,500 in following decades due to work by Shibasaburo Kitazato, who discoverd bacillus pestis, the disease germ of black plague, in 1894, and effective measures taken by then Imperial Government of Japan under guidance by Kitazato. 

More specifically, Alexandre EJ Yersin, a French medical doctor, also separately found bacillus pestis at the same time as Kitazoto did.  So, bacillus pestis has been called Yersinia pestis up to today. (When Imperial Japan was isolated from the world in WWII, the academic name Yersinia pestis was adopted internationally.)

The point at issue is that 70% or more of human infectious diseases were originated in animals.  Although due to advancement of civil engineering and construction to shut out rats, public health systems, centralization of authority, etc., black plague has been eradicated, as civilization has invaded the nature all the more, the risk of encountering animals having new disease gems gets higher.

For example, the current corona virus pandemic was triggered in Wuhan, China, a big industrial city today but just an old city before the start of industrialization and introduction of market economy in China in 1980s.

As we cannot know what animals are in what conditions in China and other parts of the world with what viruses in a detailed manner, we cannot tell what fatal pandemic will start in future in such a region. 

Finally, all we should do is to pray to the God, so that He would work such a miracle as that in 1727 to save European Christians.

John 4
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.

"behold, angels came and ministered unto him" - Satan or the Angel of Death

Imperial Palace Plaza, Tokyo

Satan or the Angel of Death

According to classification by the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV), there are about 30,000 types of viruses.

There are about 650 types of viruses that infect the mammals and birds.  The National Institutes of Health reported, 20 years ago, that an average American was thought to be infected with a virus 200 times in his or her life.  In history, the mankind have suffered various virus infectious diseases, among which the most notable ones are small pox and rabies.  Small pox is believed to have first started to spread when agriculture was started in Mesopotamia abut 9,000 years ago.

It was in 1935 that a virus was first crystallized and visualized through an electronic microscope by Wendell Meredith Stanley, an American virologist.  At the time viruses were thought to be living things, it was a big surprise that viruses could be crystallized.  Indeed, some people today still think that viruses are non-living material.

For example, computer viruses are codes or a kind of computer programs.  But as they infect other codes to function, they don't work without other codes.  Likewise, viruses in the nature need other living things to reproduce themselves.

Because human beings have become so bad and evil as to create computer viruses in large quantity, it is no wonder that the Angel of Death would use biological viruses, which have been existent since the beginning of the human culture, to exterminate the mankind, if the God ordered the Angel to do so.   

Satan must want the mankind to further survive and prosper doing every bad thing as servants of Satan.  So, Satan should not exterminate the mankind at this point of history.  But the God, observing every bad thing made by men, might really want to put an end to the history of the mankind at this point by using the Angel of Death.

However, the benevolent God would give full warning to the mankind.  And, this corona-virus pandemic must be such warning.  If we repent enough to appease the wrath of the God, the world will be restored to the normal state before long. 

Anyway, if most of people have become servants of Satan, selling their souls to it to become rich and continuing to love money and wealth, there must be no reason for the God to protect the mankind from, say, viruses.

So, I have to refer to the Bible, as a member of the mortal mankind, to be guided by holy words only to find: "This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin."

**** **** ****
Matthew 4
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

"If thou be the Son of God" - The Next Decisive Pandemic

Tokyo

The Next Decisive Pandemic

In this crisis of the corona-virus pandemic, I referred to the Bible to not only strengthen my physical immune system but also get any advice in facing the crisis.

The words I got were "dead in sin but alive in Christ."

Based on these words, it is judged that Christ Jesus views this pandemic as manifestation of our sin but also as a chance where we can strengthen our faith and be saved.  Or it is judged that the God allowed this pandemic to be generated due to sin of the mankind.

Indeed, most of people have actually sold their souls to Satan to earn money, get rich, and make our material dreams come true while the Bible tells virtually that money is a tool of Satan.  Especially, Christ Jesus said to choose money or the God.  But most of people have ignored this warning and chose money.  The human world is based on these godless attitudes of people.  The global economy is run on these godless attitudes of people.  So, it is natural that the God allowed this pandemic to happen.

The human society in this world must be rebuilt anew based on faith in the God.  The global economy must be redesigned and reorganized based on faith in the God, avoiding Satan's trap with money.  If the mankind changes their attitudes and ways of living to show more respect to the God, the benevolent God will surely help them and give life.

The mankind contaminated and corrupted by material desire and sin might be doomed to go extinct at any point in history.  And, the year 2020 under the pandemic might be a start of this process toward total extinction.

For example, the World War I started in 1914 and ended in 1918, while the 1918 flu pandemic started to spread in late 1918.  If the world had repent and turned to the God due to its tragic consequences, the World War II should have been prevented.

Likewise, although this pandemic is now inflicting great damage on the world, if the mankind repent and turn to the God, the next decisive pandemic, expected to come in the middle of this century, will be prevented.

In Japan, a great earthquake occurred around Kobe City, near the second largest metropolitan area in Japan Osaka, claiming 6,000 deaths in 1995.  But, probably because the Japanese people did not repent and turn to the God sufficiently, another great earthquake and tsunami occurred in the northeast area from Tokyo, the capital and the largest metropolitan area in Japan, in 2011, having claimed about 18,000 lives.  This 2011 disaster was accompanied by a nuclear accident in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.  Especially this nuclear accident seems to be a proof or a symbol of Japanese people's disobedience to the God.

And it is symbolic that this pandemic set off in China where Christian churches are under control of the anti-Christian Chinese Communist Party. 

In this context, it is expected that the second and decisive pandemic in the 21st century will also erupt in China that will be continuing to take anti-Christian policy and attitudes, unless the mankind, including Chinese, fully repent and turn to the God.           

So, I think that this pandemic will be suppressed around July of this year.  But the mankind will be tested by the God as to whether they will choose life in union with Christ Jesus or they still continue to pursue money, wealth, and material dreams, selling their souls to Satan.  Depending on the result of the test, the mankind might start to go extinct.

For reference, ”In a manuscript from 1704, Newton describes his attempts to extract scientific information from the Bible and estimates that the world would end no earlier than 2060 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton%27s_occult_studies#2060),” which means that Newton did not exclude the possibility that the world starts to go extinct in 2060, the middle of the 21st century.

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

"some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred" - A Matter of Concern for True Believers

National Assembly Diet Building, Tokyo

A Matter of Concern for True Believers

I referred to the Bible to find any advice from the God as I saw the pandemic news on TV.

1 Corinthians 15 King James Version (KJV)

19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

So, we must not be troubled by this corona-virus pandemic, since we have the hope of resurrection in Heaven through Christ Jesus.

However, a few months ago, the Bible told me, when I was referring to it, that there would be a wonder in the sky and a miracle on the earth.  Then, the pandemic started to increase its influence, and snow fell in and around Tokyo leaving an inch-thickness of snow at the end of March as the first in 32 years.

Indeed, the last pandemic occurred between 1918 and 1920, leaving 20 to 45 million deaths including 450,000 deaths in Japan.  In comparison, the number of deaths in WWII was 60 to 80 million.

The number of the war dead in each of the past five centuries was as follows:
The 16th century: 1.6 million
The 17th century: 6.1 million
The 18th century: 7 million
The 19th century: 19.4 million
The 20th century: 107.8 million

Especially in the 20th century, the total of the war dead and the pandemic's casualties was about 150 million.  And it is still unknown how many people will die, in the 21st century, from wars, natural disasters, pandemics, etc. unfortunately without peace.

However, if the mankind is doomed to go extinct in the 21st century, the number of deaths will be beyond comparison.

The point at issue is who is responsible for these deaths.  Is it Satan or the God that should be to blame for these deaths.  Satan may want to have as many men as possible get killed in tragedy without peace.  But the God may send the Angel of Death to unfaithful, evil men who have sold their souls to Satan to be rich or have their dreams come true.

When completely attacked by Satan and at the same time abandoned by the God, the mankind would surely go extinct.  In this case, the whole 7 billion people might get killed in wars or due to pandemics, natural disasters, etc.

But what is important for any individual is his or her own death apart from the fate of the mankind.  It is because his or her life should start when he or she is allowed to enter Heaven.  Compared with the life in Heaven, a life in this world is nothing.  Put extremely, it is not a matter of concern for true believers in Christ Jesus whether he or she dies in any manner or the whole mankind go extinct at any time.

Nonetheless, it is a supreme concern for believers to see victory of the God over Satan who should be behind men's tragedies caused by any war, natural disaster, pandemic, etc.

Mark 4 King James Version (KJV)
3 Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow:
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed, some fell by the way side, and the fowls of the air came and devoured it up.
5 And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit.
8 And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred.
9 And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

"Being forty days tempted of the devil" - A Species Doomed to Go Extinct

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

A Species Doomed to Go Extinct

It is strange that the mankind does not yet pray to the God, asking rescue from this corona-virus pandemic.

From the beginning, there has been a big possibility that the mankind can be exterminated at any time by various causes in the history, including pandemics, collision with a huge meteor, a sudden drastic change in climates, huge geological disasters, etc.

The present mankind has survived almost 200,000 years.  Especially it is thought that ancestors of peoples living outside Africa today were in a few groups of the mankind in Africa just 50,000 to 80,000 years ago.  So, in rather a short period of time, the mankind has evolved and changed in wide diversity.  But, the earth has its own history of 4.6 billion years.  And, living things have their own history of 4 billion years.  There must be some threats that can exterminate the species of the mankind in the earth, which the mankind has not encountered. Indeed, living things on the earth have ever suffered major extinction in five times since visible living things that could leave their trails in the form of fossils appeared on the earth:

Marine extinction intensity during the Phanerozoic (the horizontal scale: in unit of million years):

The blue graph shows the apparent percentage (not the absolute number) of marine animal genera becoming extinct during any given time interval. It does not represent all marine species, just those that are readily fossilized. The labels of the traditional "Big Five" extinction events and the more recently recognised End-Capitanian extinction event are clickable hyperlinks; see Extinction

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinction_events

As the above figure shows, the K-Pg extinction, where dinosaurs went extinct, is the newest one among those five major extinction events in the period of 500 million years.  In average, once in 100 million years, one great extinction event occurred.

And as 65 million years have already passed, another great extinction event may happen on the earth at any time.  And, as the recent global warming indicates, it may be related to human activities.

Due to material civilization, some influence may be given to, say, bacteria and viruses.  Chemicals produced by the mankind may change DNA or genes of these bacteria and viruses to generate strong virulence for the mankind.  And the infected mankind may go extinct.

If not by viruses or bacteria, collision with a huge meteor, a sudden drastic change in climates, huge geological disasters, etc. could happen without being stopped by the mankind.  So, existence and development of the mankind is at the hand of the God.

It does not look like this corona-virus pandemic is going to exterminate the mankind.  However, if another pandemic may occur soon after it, the mankind may face a crisis of extermination.  And in the time span of around 40 million years, another major extinction event will surely happen in the earth, wiping out the mankind.

The mankind doomed to go extinct in 40 million years or so should always ask the God to protect it at any time from extinction.  This corona-virus pandemic is a good chance to think of the fate of the mankind as a species in the earth and confirm the need to ask help from the God.

But would the God rescue the mankind most of whom have sold their souls to Satan or are brainwashed by Satan?

"There came then his brethren and his mother" - Pandemics in 2003, 2020, and Possibly 2037

A Park around Tokyo (with cherry blossoms and rain drops)

Pandemics in 2003, 2020, and Possibly 2037

The SARS pandemic set off in China in 2003.  The corona-virus pandemic set off in China in 2020.  And another pandemic is estimated to set off in 2037, since the interval between these years is the primary number of 17.

The total number of deaths in the 2003 pandemic was globally less than 1000, while that in the 2020 pandemic may be predicted to be 300,000.  And that in the coming new pandemic, probably, in 2037 may be predicted to be 90 million, which means a real crisis of the current human civilization.

Immediately before the 21st century, that is in late 1990s, some people thought that the end of the world was near.  However, the history is long, and the crucial time must have some length of a period.  Therefore, it is no wonder that the end of the world comes in the length of a period of 20 or 30 years.  Or maybe the end of the world would come not at a certain point of time but spreading over 70 years, since the Jerusalem Temple was destroyed about A.D. 70 while Christ Jesus came to this world around A.D.1, putting an end to the world of the old Judaism before Christ Jesus.

Therefore, the expected next pandemic in 2037 can really put an end to the present human civilization.  In this context, this corona-virus pandemic can be regarded as a drill for the decisive one in 2037.       

The evil of the present human civilization can be seen symbolically in China, getting prosperous by abusing the market economy and advanced technologies while keeping its authoritarian regime.  So the next pandemic might be generated in China, too.  And, it is also symbolic that the European countries having strong ties with China and the U.S. having helped excessively China develop its economy in late 1990s are suffering gravely this corona-virus.

With the assumption of the magnitude, 90 million deaths, of the expected 2037 pandemic in comparison to the present corona virus pandemic, the human civilization should suffer a decisive influence.  Its progress might be stopped or changed in a way beyond our imagination of today so that our civilization might start to decline.  And consequently, the mankind might not thrive in the 22nd century.  Or robots with AI might take over as the ruler of the world, replacing the mankind.

In this context, the mankind having enjoyed civilization based on Christianity since the coming of Christ Jesus 2000 years after Abraham is doomed 2000 years after Christ Jesus.  It may be no wonder, since the mankind crucified and killed the Son of God around A.D. 30.  While the God granted a respite of  2000 years, the mankind has not shown enough faith and respect to the God.  So, it is natural that the God sends Angles of Death to the human world.

In the 22nd century, a robot with AI might write a text book of the human history: "Therefore, the mankind went extinct in the 21st century with mysterious pandemics."

However, it is also no wonder that the God will change His mind if the mankind repent enough to expel those brainwashed by Satan from the mankind in the 21st century.  And some people might write a text book of the human history in the 22nd century: "As we repented enough and fought against Satan, the God stopped destroying the human world on the brink of extermination due to the 1937 pandemic.  Bless the God!"

Mar 3:31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him.
Mar 3:32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee.
Mar 3:33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren?
Mar 3:34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
Mar 3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.

"he that cometh from heaven is above all" - 70 Million People Required to Follow the God

70 Million People Required to Follow the God

Theoretically, it is impossible that the mankind will prosper forever if a major portion of mankind follow Satan or sell their souls to Satan betraying the God.

And today, we rarely see people who follow the God and observe the teaching of the God, since most of people love money more than love, peace, and justice.  People hate one another and fight among themselves ultimately over money.  To defeat others and get more money, most of people follow Satan and are brainwashed by Satan.  How would the God allow such mankind to prosper forever?

So, an pandemic sometimes occurred in the human history.  But each time, the God stopped a tragedy, so that the mankind could go on thriving.  It means that the God found at least 1% ore more of the mankind who faithfully followed the God during each pandemic.  (For example, there is at least one country, the Vatican, that is, however nominally, dedicated to praying to the God among less than 200 countries in the world.)  Otherwise, the God must have allowed a pandemic to terminate the mankind.

Today, there are seven billion people on the earth, and one percent of them means 70 million.  If 70 million people in this world follow the God, fighting against Satan, the God would not let a pandemic defeat the mankind.

But can we be confident that there are 70 million people who love the God, hating Satan and money?

If not, but if still we can survive a pandemic, it means the God is especially tolerant to the mankind.

I think that we should observer the current pandemic caused by the corona viruses from the above point of view.

Most probably, we can survive this case.  This pandemic will be over in several months.  But, sooner or later, another pandemic will surely come.  And there is no assurance that the God will show any tolerance on the next occasion, since it seems to be very difficult that there will be 70 million believers in the God in this human world in the near future.   

Incidentally, to enhance our immunity to conquer malicious viruses, it must be effective to read the Bible, cleans our minds and spirits, and ask help from the God.  If Satan is behind viruses, their harming power would be abated by the holy power of the Bible.  And if the Angel of Death sent by the God is behind viruses, it will surely show compassion to us.

So, this pandemic may be part of the battle between Angels of the God and devils of Satan.

"All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men" - The Third Global Crisis in the 21st Century

The Third Global Crisis in the 21st Century

The corona viruses generated  in Wuhan in China in late 2019 has now spread all over the world as follows:

The number of infected people (deaths) in each country as of March 27, 2020:
USA                     85,381 (1,271)
China (mainland) 81,340 (3,292)
Italy                      80,539 (8,165)
Spain                    64,059 (4,858)
Germany              43,165 (264)
Iran                      32,332 (2,378)
France                  29,155 (1,696)
UK                       11,658 (578)
Switzerland         10,714 (161)
South Korea          9,332 (139)
...
JAPAN                  2,182 (59) [including 712 of crews and passengers in the cruise]

So, even in Japan, the general public was requested to avoid going outdoors into (otherwise busy) towns, parks, events, etc., so that many of cherry blossom viewers were not found in a park around Tokyo today.

This is the third global crisis since the beginning of the 21st century, following the 9/11 Terror in 2001, and the Financial Crisis in 2008.

But for Japan, it is the second crisis in the 21st century in terms of the magnitude of substantial influence on the Japanese society, following the Great Tsunami/Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011.

When I read the Bible, I found a kind of holy revelation: This pandemics from the corona viruses would start to dwindle only after five-month rampancy.  Therefore, it will start to stop spreading in China in May,  Japan in June, and USA/Europe in July.

Accordingly, the 2020 Tokyo Olympics Games postponed to 2021 will be surely held and practiced.

However, although the Bible also suggested that this pandemic would come to an end sooner or later, the second disaster (pandemic) should be more devastating, although it is unknown when it will come.
   
In the Middles Ages, Europe suffered a pandemic a few times where the whole European population reduced almost by half.  But Christianity and the Vatican survived.

In the 21st century, a similar tragedy might happen in the global scale.  Or the end of the world having been supposed by some people to come at the end of the 20st century might be just delayed for 20 years or so,.

But I have a feeling that the God allowed this pandemic to occur in this timing due to a certain concrete incident around a certain believer, since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics seem to be targeted.

Anyway, it is not only Satan that kills men incongruously, but also the God may send the Angel of Death to the human world.  It is because the God is the lord of men.  The God can give and take away life to/from anybody at His will.

Indeed, praise the Lord, God, Almighty.

Mar 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Mar 3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
Mar 3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.

"Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age" - Of Him shall be Much Required

Of Him shall be Much Required

The maximum estimated size of the observable universe is 93 billion-light year in the diameter, while the least size of a particle that can exist in the universe is the Planck length of 10 to the minus 35 power.

They are not infinitely large or small.  We live in the universe with the upper limit and the lower limit.  However, there are no problems if we assume that we live in the infinitely large universe that can be divided into any small size.

And more over, our life length is between the time needed for us to breath once after our birth to about 120 years, the time nobody has ever lived according to scientific records.  Everything has the upper limit and the lower limit in our lives, although we easily imagine a boundless world and life.

The God must live in the world where the concepts of limit and bound are meaningless, since He must be able to shift any limits and bounds.

Nothing can restrict God's presence and ability.  From the beginning, everything that exists concretely or conceptually must be made possible by existence of the God.

However the Bible reads: Lu:12:48: But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Then what is required for the God who is almighty and who requires it of God?

However, it is clear that the more the mankind succeeds, gets rich, and enjoys the civilization, the more will be required of it.  And if we cannot respond to such a requirement, punishment must be all the more severe.

In this context, we may encounter any dangerous viruses, now that we have established this super-rich civilization.
