"Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh" - The Corona-Pandemic, a Warning just before the Preparatory Period prior to the Crucial Year of 2070

The Corona-Pandemic, a Warning just before the Preparatory Period prior to the Crucial Year of 2070

In 1995, Japan suffered a big earthquake around Kobe City, west of Osaka and Kyoto, resulting in more than 6,000 deaths.

In 2011, Japan suffered again a big earthquake and huge tsunamis around Sendai City and the Fukushima Prefecture, north east of Tokyo, resulting in more than 20,000 deaths and missing persons in addition to the Fukushima Nuclear accident. 

In 2020, Japan was attacked by the corona-pandemic, resulting in about 9,000 deaths and postponement of the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics, which is still going on as of April 2021.  

It is 16 years from 1995 to 2011, and 9 years from 2011 to 2020.  So, it is assumed that another tragedy might happen in 2024, since it would be 4 years from 2020 to 2024.  Indeed, 16 is a square of 4, 9 is a square of 3, and 4 is a square of 2.  The series of crises in Japan looks like following the series of year gaps in squares of 4, 3, and 2.

In my view, the end of the century still continues since 1995 for Japan.  For the U.S., the end of the century seems to have started around 2001 with the 9/11 Attacks.  And, the U.S. underwent the 2007/2008 Financial Crisis and the 2020 corona-pandemic.  It is 7 years from 2001 to 2008 and 13 years from 2007 to 2020.  The series of crises in the U.S. looks like following a series of prime numbers in terms of the years interval.  Therefore, the U.S. might face a more critical crisis around 2039, since it is 19 years from 2020 to 2039 in a series of 7, 13, and 19.

For comparison with the 1st century when Christ Jesus first appeared in the human world, in AD 24 Christ Jesus was about 28, being prepared for His mission prior to being Baptized in the Jordan, and in AD 39, after the crucifixion and ascendance to Heaven of Christ Jesus, Paul had been converted on the way to Damascus and already started his mission.

So, between 2024 and 2039, Christ Jesus might come the second time and perform His second mission in this world, although we might not be able to realize it.

But, around 2070, a clear catastrophe to the world, such as WWIII, might happen, since the destruction of Jerusalem through the Roman-Jewish War happened in AD 70, which is 50 years later from now.

And, if the God decides to forgive and save the mankind, the human history should be allowed to continue through the 22nd century and thereafter, though, with a new mindset or notion about the God or the relationship between the God and men. 

In this context, this corona-pandemic might be an episode or a warning just before the preparatory period prior to the crucial event around 2070.

John 4, King James Version
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.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

"To preach the acceptable year of the Lord" - Please Forgive our Sins and Save us from this Pandemic!

Around Tokyo

Please Forgive our Sins and Save us from this Pandemic!

The God said to Moses:
14 And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you. (Exodus 3, King James Version)

If we trust in the Bible, the God actually spoke to Moses about 3300 years ago, saying that He described Himself as somebody that could exist only due to Himself alone. 

Everything and everyman that exist can only exist due to certain appropriate preceding conditions.  Everything exists due to certain appropriate physical or natural conditions.  Everyone exists due to certain appropriate biological and spiritual conditions.  But the God's existence does not owe itself to anything but itself or the God Himself.  Existence of anything depends on the God or His intention to allow such existence.   In this context, the God is equivalent to existence in logic or discussion.  

Above the concept of existence or non-existence, there must be some ascendant concept that the mankind cannot still understand.  And the God must be originally there.  It means that the God does not have to even exist, since He is above existence.  But the word "I am" implies that He decided to exist for Himself and execute the power of existence.

If this material universe had not been created about 13.7 billion years ago, which means that no mankind could be also created 250,000 years ago, the God should exit or more than exist.

With continuation of development of man's science, the mankind may understand and explicate all the wonders, mysteries and secrets of what can exist, but it must be theoretically impossible for us to know the full aspects of the God who is also above existence.

We think that the God somewhat resembles us, and thus we often think that the God should save us immediately if He finds we are at risk, in danger, or in a trouble.  If we have faith in the God, He should surely save us, but He might save us in a way and manner we cannot understand.  For example, He might not save our life in this world, but He might decide and plan to accept us in Heaven after our life in this world.

Therefore, men with faith in the God are not afraid of the corona-virus and other fatal disease germs and viruses.

In addition, traditionally it is thought that the God is the highest good.  We might have to think of the God from this point of view other than the point that the God has the power to save us in a predicament such as a pandemic.  

And in that case, we must have a wonder if the God would save us without a higher level of goodness or virtue the God should expect.  Indeed, it looks sure that the God would surely save the mankind from any pandemic immediately if all the mankind are good enough to rejoice the God who is also the highest good.  

Finally, all we can do is still pray to the God, saying, "Please forgive our sins and save us from this pandemic!"

Luke 4, King James Version
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.

Some Significant Crisis should Happen in 2038, 2054, and 2072

It is reasonable to check what happened when Christ Jesus first appeared in the human world 2000 years ago, since 2000 years have already passed.

6 AD Herod Archelaus deposed by Augustus; Samaria, Judea and Idumea annexed as Iudaea Province under direct Roman administration, capital at Caesarea. Quirinius became Legate (Governor) of Syria, conducted Census of Quirinius, opposed by Zealots (JA18, Luke 2:1–3, Acts 5:37)

7–26 Brief period of peace, relatively free of revolt and bloodshed in Iudaea and Galilee

9 Pharisee leader Hillel the Elder dies, temporary rise of Shammai

14–37 Tiberius, Roman Emperor

18–36 Caiaphas, appointed High Priest of Herod's Temple by Prefect Valerius Gratus, deposed by Syrian Legate Lucius Vitellius

19 Jews, Jewish proselytes, astrologers, expelled from Rome

26–36 Pontius Pilate, Prefect (governor) of Iudaea, recalled to Rome by Syrian Legate Vitellius on complaints of excess violence (JA18.4.2)

28 or 29 John the Baptist begins his ministry in the "15th year of Tiberius" (Luke 3:1–2), saying: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matthew 3:1–2), a relative of Jesus (Luke 1:36), a Nazirite (Luke 1:15), baptized Jesus (Mark 1:4–11), later arrested and beheaded by Herod Antipas (Luke 3:19–20), it is possible that, according to Josephus' chronology, John was not killed until 36 (JA18.5.2)

Jesus begins his ministry after his baptism by John and during the rule of Pilate, preaching: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near" (Matthew 4:12–17). 

While the historicity of the gospel accounts is questioned to some extent by some critical scholars and non-Christians, the traditional view states the following chronology for his ministry: Temptation, Sermon on the Mount, Appointment of the Twelve, Miracles, Temple Money Changers, Last Supper, Arrest, Trial, Passion, Crucifixion on Nisan 14th (John 19:14, Mark 14:2, Gospel of Peter) or Nisan 15th (Synoptic Gospels), entombment by Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus, Resurrection by God and Resurrection appearances of Jesus to Mary Magdalene and other women (Mark 16:9, John 20:10–18), Simon Peter (Luke 24:34), and others, (1Cor.15:3–9), Great Commission, Ascension, Second Coming Prophecy to fulfill the rest of Messianic prophecy such as the Resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment, and establishment of the Kingdom of God and the Messianic Age.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Christianity)

Especially, about the crucifixion of Christ Jesus:

Scholars have provided estimates in the range 30–33 AD, with Rainer Riesner stating that "the fourteenth of Nisan (7 April) of the year A.D. 30 is, apparently in the opinion of the majority of contemporary scholars as well, far and away the most likely date of the crucifixion of Jesus." Another preferred date among scholars is Friday, April 3, 33 AD.

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion_of_Jesus#Chronology) 

Since the beginning of the 21st century, the U.S. has experienced the following major events:

2001: September 11 attacks in New York City; Washington, D.C.

2008: Barack Obama was elected as the 44th President and the 1st African American President of the United States.

2020: The corona-pandemic generated in China attacked the U.S., taking out almost a half million Americans.

By analogy with the first century, we are thought to be still in the brief period of peace.  However, we may face a drastic event as the era comes closer to 2030s when some potentially sacred and significant movement should happen, although it might not be the Second Coming of Christ Jesus but it must be an auspice of the drastic event. 

Indeed, after 60 AD:

66–73 First Jewish–Roman War: destruction of Herod's Temple and end of Judaism according to Supersessionism; Qumran community (site of Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947) destroyed...

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_Christianity)   

It is 7 years from 2001 to 2008, and 19 years from 2001 to 2020; therefore 37 years after 2001, that is 2038, 53 years after 2001, that is 2054, and 71 years after 2001, that is 2072 might be critical, since these intervals are of primary numbers. 

If Americans and other peoples do not fully repent, some significant crisis should happen in 2038, 2054, and 2072 with a more catastrophic event more devastating than the corona-pandemic.

As Christianity grew and expanded after the First Jewish-Roman War (66-73), the new era of the mankind based on the right and legitimate belief in the God should start over those difficult years in the 21st century, if the mankind are allowed to further develop and prosper through the next 2000 years.  And, we may need the Second Coming of Christ Jesus for this proceeding.

Indeed, only the power of Christ Jesus should defeat any fatal viruses that might be generated by some evil and mad people in the future.  We had better reflect on our vulnerability against some biological threats such as viruses.  Otherwise, robots without biological vulnerability might take over the world from humans.

Matthew 4, King James Version
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.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.

Repent and Repair Defects of this Civilization so Vulnerable to Viruses

There are 7 billion (7 x 10^9) people in this world.  Each man has 37 trillion (37 x 10^12) cells.  And each human cells is supposed to have 10^14 atoms.  Finally, (7 x 10^9) x (37 x 10^12) x 10^14 or 259 x 10^35 (2.59 x 10^37) atoms work in men in the earth.  And, it is thought that all these atoms are the same in their structure and functions.  Or, more than 10 to the 37th power of atoms in this earth are used to make human beings, and all these atoms are the same.

If this universe was created by chance, it must be impossible to allow 7 billion people to live and exist with same 37 trillion human cells, each consisting of 10^14 atoms, although with some variations in terms of their functions controlled by genes and DNA in these cells.

This universe is systematically and scientifically built without mentioning human bodies, cells, and atoms inside them.

The possibility that this well harmonized and sophisticatedly built universe and human beings are created by chance as a result of random trials must be almost zero or zero as much possible as tomorrow will never come on April 15, 2021.   

So, it is natural and reasonable that somebody had planned and designed creation of this universe and human beings, and this somebody must be called the God but not Satan. 

By the way, if all the human beings died of corona-viruses, Satan could not find any souls to brainwash and make betray the God.  So, Satan should not annihilate human beings but want people to love and pursue money and wealth more than the God.  But, the God might put the end to the human history to stop Satan from interfering with God's plan for human beings if He gets angry enough at Satan and human beings.   

However, the God would not so easily exterminate the human beings as He had created this universe and the mankind in such a refined and elaborated manner, although it might be a very easy trial for Him but it has give a chance to Satan to interfere with His some sacred plan.  What's more, He sent His Son to the human world for His love to the mankind.  It is unthinkable that the God cruelly intended to exterminate the mankind with this corona-pandemic in the early 21st century.

However, this estimation does not mean that the God is not angry at human beings for their rotten civilization, so that the God might try to persuade the mankind to repent and change their way to run and manage their civilization.

Indeed, the human civilization is still vulnerable to viruses, which means something is wrong in the current human civilization, so that we have to repent and repair defects of this civilization.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.

"Know ye not this parable?" - 67 Generations have Passed since Christ Jesus with Corona-Virus Warning

 

Around Tokyo

67 Generations have Passed since Christ Jesus with Corona-Virus Warning

According to Christ Jesus, 25% of people are ready for following Satan.  Another 25% of people opt for the worldly matters and systems more than God's words.  Another 25% of people love the riches and success in the world more than God's words.  And the remaining 25% of people love God's words to follow the God and set an example of followers of the God, influencing 100% of people in the next generation.

If this series of selection of people continues, there are always 25% of people in any generation who accept God's words and follow the God, although 75% of people in any generation do not accept or hold God's words to follow Him.

In this context, we had better think that only one among four people is allowed to enter into Heaven but other three go to the hell.  Or, four people will be divided into two groups.  And each group consisting of two is divided to two or separately.  And only one in a specific group is allowed to enter into Heaven.

The reasons why three of four people cannot enter into Heaven, but one in four can are (1) Satan directly brainwashes one, (2) the worldly power controlled by Satan dominates another, and (3) worldly desires pushed by Satan capture another, but (4) inherent love for the God makes the remaining one follow the God and help the mankind continue to survive. 

In other words, without god-loving 25% of people in the world, the mankind should perish.

So, it is recommended to teach children that three of four people they will meet in society would surely be condemned to the hell, but one in four might be allowed to Heaven.  The reasonable advice to good children is that a majority of people are bad, and a half of a half of all might be not so bad.

Even in the case of Christ Jesus, only a few among 12 disciples helped next generations carry the faith in the God and Christ Jesus through the Gospels.  And, 2000 years after the era of the direst mission by Christ Jesus, things do not seem to be much improved.  Or, the ratio of believers might be getting deteriorated.            

From a different view, 2000 years mean almost 67 generation of the mankind.  And faith is found only in 25% among every generation; therefore this succession of 25% through 67 generations results in 4.6 x 10 to the power of minus 41 or 4.6 x 10^(-41).

Indeed, as the world population is almost seven billion, 7 x 10 to the power of 9, or 7 x 10^9, the purity of faith must be almost 10 to the power of minus 32 or 10^(-32), which is almost nil or zero.  Consequently, it is no wonder that the God might put the end to the human history.

Conversely, if the corona-virus loses its harming power at the ratio of 25% per infection, it should be almost harmless after 67 generations of its continued existence.  Put imply, after infection to 67 people, the virus should lose its harming power.  If it takes two weeks for one infection (or one person), in 134 weeks or 2.8 years this pandemic should be ended.  So, this corona-pandemic must continue from January 2020 to September 2022.

Indeed, when everyone dies, no evil should exist in this world.  If the God wants Satan to be completely destroyed with extermination of the mankind, the human history might be said to have been doomed to finish at the proper time the God had originally set.  Anyway, 67 generations have passed, the time might really come.  We had better read the Bible as the corona-pandemic must be a warning.

17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

Wealth Making Men Blindly Content Leads to Fatal Crisis such as Corona-Pandemic

If anybody of today met Satan who told them to give any wealth, success, and reputation only if he revered and followed Satan, probably he would accept and follow Satan to be rich and happy. 

Not believing in existence of the God, Satan, Heaven, the hell, etc. should not assure that such a person would reject such an offer of Satan who might disguise itself as a Lady Luck.

This issue has become so critical nowadays as the mankind have become so rich after 2000 years since the first appearance of Christ Jesus. 

(https://www.visualcapitalist.com/2000-years-economic-history-one-chart/)

The increase in wealth of the mankind suggests realization of not only rich life but a dangerous world.  It should be supported by development of science and technology.  The mankind should surely acquire dangerous weapons and other means strong enough to destroy the human civilization.  And this corona-pandemic suggests a possibility of biological weapons.

Development of medical science and biological science would surely bring about improvement of human health and welfare.  But, it might also accelerate danger of development of biological weapons or wrong application of such technology to the human body.

Although today men cannot yet create effective medicines to suppress any wrong viruses, such medicines, if any, must have unseen adverse effects.  Or men might find a way to handle human genes or DNA to be free from dangers such viruses should cause.  But such handling of human genes or DNA would lead to unforgivable interference with biological conditions of human beings. 

Now the mankind have obtained wealth over restriction set by Christ Jesus.  This level of wealth can be only obtained by selling men's souls to Satan, which Christ Jesus did not.  Based on such wealth, men should create dangerous technologies.  For example, as stated, the mankind might start to handle genes or DNA, which might lead to biological crisis if used by evil men or terrorists.  The mankind might develop computer systems that can efficiently handle monetary economy with a possibility of global economic destruction if used by evil men or terrorists.

So, today with this dangerous level of wealth, any crisis can happen.  And, this corona-pandemic is a warning.  It is symbolic that this pandemic was first generated in China getting rich with its GDP increasing.

With unforgivable wealth and success, men would have a desire to be further richer by use of their wealth, in which they would break restrictions set by the God.  In this scenario, men would finally face an unexpected tragedy, which means that the end of the world should come.

This pandemic, where tiny viruses generated in China have attacked the global civilization in such a large scale, is really a warning to the mankind whose wealth has explosively increased in these centuries.        

The fatal crisis or the end of the world should really come when and where people, being content with and blind due to their wealth, never dream of it, like none could expect the corona-pandemic in 2020.

"Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey" - Not Fighting Satan must Mean Betraying the God

Not Fighting Satan must Mean Betraying the God

It is true that Christ Jesus talked about fear of death, soul, and the hell:

Matthew 10, King James Version

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

His words also imply existence of the God and Heaven.

Followers of Christ Jesus is enemies of Satan who hates the God and Christ Jesus.  Accordingly Satan tries to kill followers of Christ Jesus.  But it cannot kill the souls of the followers of Christ Jesus.  However, the God or Christ Jesus can destroy bodies and souls of followers of Satan in the hell to erase their existence and annihilate them.  And Christ Jesus would say that they should not have been born.

This might look like a fantasy, but to believe in Christ Jesus and the Bible means to believe his words.

Conversely, if we follow Christ Jesus and get saved by Him, our bodies and souls should be allowed into Heaven. 

However, Heaven is not a material world like the hell is not.  We cannot see the God and Heaven in the same manner we see material things and phenomena.  Even when we die, we can preserve our souls.  Even Satan can stop our souls from entering into Heaven.  We, each, will have the spiritual body and soul after death.  Even Satan cannot kill our souls, but the God can destroy bodies and souls of followers of Satan in the hell.  

So, if men could actually see the spiritual world, they should all follow the God and leave Satan because of the fear of being annihilated by the God in the hell.  However, it seems that the God does not want men to see the real states in the hell and accordingly follow Him due to the fear.  But the God seems to see us follow Him without seeing the actual states in the hell.

Those who can live forever in Heaven and others who are destroyed to be nothing in the hell are very different.  Followers of the God and other followers of Satan are very different.  The God and Satan are very different from each other.   Heaven and the hell are so different from each other.

The important issue is that Christ Jesus recommends us to fear the God.  If we are not 100% completely following the words of the God, we cannot claim that the God should love us, save us, and give us happiness, fortunes, and money.  Instead, we should think that the God might be angry at us because of our insufficient belief.

Indeed, we have no qualification and right to demand good treatment from the God.  We have nothing to offer to the God in exchange.  But, as Satan is an enemy of the God, our fighting Satan must please the God.  So, Christ Jesus said not to be afraid of Satan but have fear of God.

In this context, the God might have created men as Its soldiers in fight against Satan.  So, not fighting Satan must mean betraying the God.  If we love money more than the God as we are brainwashed by Satan, we should be annihilated to be nothing in the hell.    

This is a reasonable understanding of the words of Christ Jesus.

John 4, King James Version
6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.

10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.

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.

"as he sowed, some fell by the way side" - God's World, the Spiritual World, and the Human World

God's World,  the Spiritual World, and the Human World

The most important issue for the mankind is whether the God can control everything in the human world as He wishes.  For example, if He can do, the God can at any time put the end to the corona-pandemic.  Or the God might have caused this pandemic for some reason.  Then all the mankind should do is to pray and ask the God to terminate this pandemic.

Based on the ideology of non-nonsense religions, such as Christianity, the God can do, since those religions are based on the belief that the God is almighty and is the Creator of the physical world and the spiritual world.  At least, in the Bible, it is written that the God can do anything the mankind cannot do.

In my view, the God had existed before anything that can exist started to exist due to the power of the God.  Or, from a human point of view, we might say that everything that can exist actually exists as the God wishes so.  Conversely, if the God had not wanted to exist, nothing should have started to exist.  The God is above existence.  He does not need to exist, but for certain reasons, He decided to exist.  And, subsequently, Angels started to exit, Heaven started to exist, the spiritual world started to exist, the physical world started to exit, the university started to exit, the stars started to exist, the earth started to exist, the living things started to exit, and finally the human beings started to exist with their minds that are linked to the spiritual world, in addition to Satan, devils, demos, evil spirits, the hell, etc.  And, most importantly, the human history started to exit, where the Son of the God came to appear 2000 years ago.  

Of course, everyone of the human beings exists doe to this power of the God.  None exists due to his own power, capacity, or ability but by the power of the God or due to His intention.

It is easily understood that the nature moves as the God determined: the stars and the molecules move as the God wishes.  But, it is a little difficult that the human world and the minds of people can be controlled by the God.  Or the human history or any one's life can be controlled by the God.

However, the human world is based on the mass of the minds of all the people.  And every one has the free will.  Yet, it is not inconsistent that the God can control the human world and human minds and every one has freedom of thought and action.

If the  mankind finds reasons why the God has given freedom of thought and action to everyone, while the God can control the human world and everybody, they might simply try to follow the will and intention of the God.

Most importantly, it seems that Satan hates the God while it understands the reason why the God gives freedom of thought and action to the mankind in addition to Satan.  Anyway, Christ Jesus said to love the God as much as possible but not to be loved by the God as much as possible.  We have to love the God, but not to try to be loved by the God as much as possible, although we should be surely loved by the God if we love the God as much as possible.   

While we live in this human and material world, the spiritual world is a mystery.  But if we live in the spiritual world, God's world might be still a mystery, assuming that God's world is above the spiritual world that is above the human and material world.

Mark 4, King James Version
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.

With the Faith like Immunity and Vaccine

If you are the only Jewish man in a Christian country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Christians around you, since you do not admit that Christ Jesus is the God.  But if you are the only Christian man in a Jewish country, you might be afraid of being attacked by Jewish people, since you believe that Christ Jesus is the God, which Jewish people deny.   

If you are the only white man in a black country, you might be afraid of being attacked by black people; if your are the only black man in a white country, you might be afraid of being attacked by white people.

If you are the only Chinese man in the U.S., you might be afraid of being attacked by Americans; if you are the only American man in China, you might be afraid of being attacked by Chinese.

Indeed, being only one person with a specific feature in an environment where no others share the same specific feature is dangerous even in terms of religion, race, and nationality.

However, how dangerous you are, if you are the only follower of the God, in an environment where all the others are followers of Satan.  In this context, the words of Christ Jesus should be understood:

"Luke 10: 3: Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves."

When wolves, namely followers of Satan find a lamb, that is, a follower of the God, they would attack and kill the lamb.  And, indeed, Christ Jesus was killed, though only for three days, by followers of Satan, in the shapes of Jewish and Roman authority 2000 years ago.

So, Christ Jesus knew how dangerous it was for a follower of the God to live in a society where all the citizens are only followers of Satan.  And, if there is no possibility that any followers of Satan in a city would repent and leave Satan, the God should immediately send a multitude of Angels of Death to the society to destroy it.

But the fact that Christ Jesus sent his followers to this world meant that there was a possibility that some followers of Satan would repent and leave Satan when they heard words of the God or Christ Jesus.  

If you are the only healthy person in corona-virus contaminated country, you might be afraid of being attacked by corona-viruses possessed by others.  And, if you are the only God believing person in a country controlled by Satan, you might be afraid of being attacked by other followers of Satan.  

Now, 2000 years after Christ Jesus, in democratic countries based on teachings of Christ Jesus, you can live in peace and safety, if you have a different religion, different color of skins, and different nationality.  You might not be afraid even of being attacked corona-viruses, since vaccination and other medical measures should be there widely provided.

But, wherever you may go in this world on the earth, an overwhelming majority of people around you might be followers or quasi-followers of Satan, while true followers of the God or Christ Jesus must be less that 10%.  So, we have to still remember the words of Christ Jesus: wolves are everywhere while you are lambs.  But, there are other encouraging words in the Bible: whoever upset you will be punished by the God.        

Finally, we have to go and live in the world where Satan has still an influence, following Christ Jesus, with the faith like immunity and vaccine.

26 And they came unto John, and said unto him, Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou barest witness, behold, the same baptizeth, and all men come to him.
27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

"the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's" - Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Jesus Surrounded by Enemies Worse than Coronaviruses

Not all the actions Christ Jesus did in His everyday life are recorded in the Gospels.  Not all the words Christ Jesus spoke are recorded in the Gospels.  And, not all the attacks Satan made to Christ Jesus are also recorded. 

Christ Jesus described in the Gospels was just walking, giving insight of life and the world, preaching about love of the God, teaching how to pray to the God, praying to the God, healing the sick, showing compassion to the poor, and fighting Satan.

He never relished a joke, enjoyed His meal, and talked about foods, clothes, places to rest, rumors about certain people, gossips and small talks, how to gain money and even what He was truly.  And, more importantly Christ Jesus never talked about His family.

So, we might be allowed to wonder what He was doing and what He was thinking in His everyday life.

First of all, Christ Jesus knew that He was under attack by Satan, its devils, the Jewish authority, opposite priests of Judaism, and people brainwashed by Satan.  He must have been aware that spies and betrayers were everywhere, so that He must have been mostly silent.

On the other hand, what were the enemies of Christ Jesus doing except sending spies and betrayers around Him?  Christ Jesus was regarded as an enemy of the Jewish authority, Jewish priests, and Roman troops occupying Israel at the time.  They must have checked His family backgrounds, professional relationships, friends, and enemies.  They must have tried to buy or bribe some of His families, friends, and followers without mentioning Judas of Iscariot.

The consequences of their efforts against Christ Jesus might be even today seen among Jewish people.  And it should be reflected on the Gospels, so that people who became opposite to Christ Jesus due to Satan's efforts were omitted in the Gospels except Judas of Iscariot, etc.  In this context, it is assumed that Christ Jesus was betrayed by more people, including His families, friends, etc., than those described in the Gospels.  The Gospels should depict Christ Jesus narrowly avoiding attacks from everywhere in His human relationships, although they presented Christ Jesus peacefully and safely walking, talking, and preaching.  Christ Jesus was in the middle of battles with enemies sent by Satan.  

Therefore, we may understand why the Gospels do not describe Christ Jesus joking, laughing, and relaxing.  And there is no wonder if most of His families, personal friends, business associates, etc. sold out Him, so that there are no detailed descriptions about them in the Gospels.  

For example, even if Christ Jesus had had a wife or a girl friend, she might have sold Him, so that we may be allowed to think that there are no descriptions of Jesus' wife or girl friend as a result.  And that may be why there are no detailed descriptions of His physical father, brothers, sisters, and cousins and nieces except John the Baptist.  And in this case, compared with those hidden betrayers, the sin of Judas might be lighter.       

Put simply, the Gospels do not report how Christ Jesus was daily harassed, annoyed, and afflicted by evil people brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.   And those evil people might include His family members, friends, etc. whom the Gospels do not describe.

In this context, 50% of people who were close to Christ Jesus or who encountered with Christ Jesus might have been brainwashed and used by Satan as its subordinates for attacking Christ Jesus.  Enemies of Christ Jesus must be everywhere.  Christ Jesus must have been living all the time in circumstances surrounded by enemies worse than corona-viruses.  

But, the Gospels are presenting Christ Jesus as if He had been living in peace time for a certain care, so that even children can read the Bible.  We should not think that Christ Jesus preached in a leisurely setting and in an easy state.  He must have been always aware that Satan was waiting for its chance to harm or kill Him.  So, there must be more secrets in the Gospels yet uncovered.

21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

Danger for the Mankind after the Corona-Pandemic 

According an old story related to Buddhism, complied about four centuries before the era of Christ Jesus, a field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life destroyed a wild dog that killed and ate other field rats.  

In certain woods, there was a wild dog who tried to gather field rats to eat them.  For this purpose, he pretend to be a saint.  So, he stood on his two legs instead of four.  When field rats saw the wild dog, they asked why he stood on two legs.  He answered that he was reducing the burden of the earth supporting his weight, because two legs instead of four would give less weights on the earth.

So, all the field rats thought that the wild dog was a saint and came to see him everyday.  But when they went back home in the evening, the wild dog attacked the last one of the field rats leaving for their homes and ate it.  Day after day, the number of field rats decreased.  So, the field rat who was the Buddha in his previous life suspected what had happened to those lost field rats.  

One day, he decided to leave the wild dog on his two legs as the last one.  And, the wild dog attacked the Buddha in life of a field rat.  The field rat found that the wild dog was just a pretender, so that the field rat struck back at the wild dog to bite it to death.  Although it is a little bloody, the story tells that the Buddha, as a field rat in one of his previous lives, killed an evil wild dog to save other field rats.

So, even centuries before the era of Christ Jesus in India far from Palestine, people knew that there was a false saint or Satan pretending to be a saint to gather people with a trick to kill them.

In the Bible, there is warning to a false prophet who would give false warning to people:
Matthew 24
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.         

Although nobody seems to have predicted this occurrence of the corona-pandemic,  if there had been any pundit who had predicted this pandemic before 2020, people might have been easily handled according to his intention as such a man must have gained a reputation.

However, after this corona-pandemic, people would be more afraid of another pandemic than before.  They might be psychologically unstable and get easily duped by false prophets, evil politicians, etc. offering false solutions to people's anxieties.  And, if Christ Jesus does not come as the second time to destroy them, people might be drawn to real danger of losing their souls.

Anyway, this corona-pandemic would open a new era where the fate of the mankind should get at stake.  Even after the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, Hitler emerged, results of which people still do not forget.

20 Added yet this above all, that he shut up John in prison.
21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Jesus also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.

"For every one that doeth evil hateth the light" - Through Spiritual Training We Might be Able to See Satan and Viruses

Through Spiritual Training We Might be Able to See Satan and Viruses

To die means to lose one's mind, since one's mind relies on work of the brain, namely, a part of one's body that stops biologically functioning when one dies.  

In other words, a man is not afraid of one's death if he has confidence that his mind would survive his biological death.  And every religion is based on the notion that one's mind lives after one's physical death.  Especially Christianity is based on this notion with belief in the words of Christ Jesus that those who believe in Him could live forever.

However, it seems to be apparent that when one dies, his brain as a part of his body would also die or stop functioning; therefore when one dies, his mind should also die.  But if there is the soul above the mind or above work of the mind and the soul can live, even if the body or the brain dies, leaving the brain and the mind for the spiritual world, our entity can live in the soul in the spiritual world.

It is true we cannot clearly see our own soul above our mind, but saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see souls above minds of people.  Therefore, those saints must be able to see Satan, devils, and other evil spirits that are intangible sprits but not biologically living things.

And the Gospels are reports of the battles between Christ Jesus and Satan, etc.  So, if you do not believe existence of souls, spirits, Angels, Satan, and other intangible spiritual entities, without mentioning the God, you cannot understand the Gospels and the words of Christ Jesus.

If we ask Christ Jesus whether we have souls, He would definitely say Yes.  If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is the spiritual world, He would definitely say Yes.  If we ask Christ Jesus whether there is Heaven, He would definitely say Yes.  And, if we ask Christ Jesus whether Satan exists, He would definitely say Yes.

Even wise men say that what is seen consists of what cannot be seen.  We cannot see contents of minds of other people.  But their deeds and actions are based on their minds that cannot be seen from the outside.

But, saints like Christ Jesus must be able to see contents of the minds of other men.  They must be able to see souls of other men in addition to Angels and evil spirits.  Unless we can see minds of other men in addition to spiritual entities such as Angels, devils, etc., we cannot fully understand the Bible and the Gospels.

Education, training, ascetic practices, etc. should essentially aim at increasing the ability to see what cannot be seen with physical eyes.  Indeed, as a man lives longer, he can learn various things to increase the ability to see what others think in their minds.  Academic or systematic training accelerates obtainment of this ability.  Especially through spiritual training, we might be able to see Angels and Satan. 

For example, we cannot see corona-viruses with physical eyes.  But our diseases and deaths that can be seen with physical eyes are caused by unseen viruses.  So, through spiritual training, we might be able to obtain and enhance the ability to see Satan in addition to corona-viruses.

"should not perish, but have everlasting life" - Win Viruses with Medication Working like Followers of Christ Jesus

 

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

Win Viruses with Medication Working like Followers of Christ Jesus

How can you prove that you are followers of Christ Jesus?  Even if you are the Pope, it does not mean that you are a follower of Christ Jesus, since the Pope is enjoying richer life that Christ Jesus's.  Those who follow Christ Jesus should not have richer life than Christ Jesus's, since Christ Jesus rejected rich life Satan offered to Christ Jesus.  However, if Christ Jesus allowed the Pope to have such rich life, others should not blame the Pope.  Yet, the Pope should prove that he is a follower of Christ Jesus. 

It is very difficult for men to find and judge that any man has the biggest belief in Christ Jesus and the God and thus has the largest faith.   It is because we cannot and should not try to define the expected faith in the God, since by doing so we are defining the God who cannot be defined by men.  It is close to a blasphemy.

But, if we can prove that we have been attacked by Satan more than any body, we may be allowed to claim that we are followers of Christ Jesus.

In this context, Satan can be a measure of our faith.  The more we are attacked by Satan, the more we might be allowed to claim that we are following Christ Jesus.

The Gospels should be read as reports of the battles between Christ Jesus and Satan.  After various incidents, as is written in the Gospels, Satan could kill Christ Jesus, but finally Christ Jesus resurrected to defeat Satan.

But, Satan knew from the beginning that Christ Jesus was the Son of the God whom Satan could not destroy.  But Satan tried to kill Him when the Son of the God appeared in the human world as a mere human being.  Mad Satan tried to secure its occupancy in the human world, since Satan must have thought that the God had permitted its occupancy in the human world.  Poor Satan must have tried to tell the God to leave it alone in the human world by killing His Son who appeared in the human world as a mere man.  Foolish Satan must have thought that the God would approve its dominance in the human world since Satan could kill His Son as it got angry with the God's interference.  Probably, the God should have assured Satan that it could occupy the human world if men chose to follow Satan, since the human world was so small compared with the spiritual world and Heaven.  

However, the God should get angrier than Satan, since Satan must have done something the God could not tolerate, so that He decided to send His Son to the human world to defeat Satan.  It must be God's love to men.  

In this context, the key factor in the human world is Satan.  Therefore, how much a man has been hated, attacked, harassed, and afflicted by Satan can be a proof that he is a follower of Christ Jesus.

When those brainwashed by Satan see a man following Christ Jesus, they would think that how evil and bad the man is, since he is against Satan who is sacred to them.    

When corona-viruses see human cells not contaminated by viruses, they should think how evil and bad those cells are, since those cells do not accept viruses.  Therefore, corona-viruses would attack those sound cells as if exercising their own justice.

With medication that can act act like followers of Christ Jesus against Satan in the human body, we must be saved from corona-viruses.

18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

"Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now" - Suppress Corona-viruses by Reading the Bible as It has a Soul

Suppress Corona-viruses by Reading the Bible as It has a Soul

On  a TV display or screen, we can see everything that can be displayed as we see real things.  But, it disappears when we cut off the power supply.  The TV set functions based on electricity, decoding electric signals to restore original images carried by electric signals.  Our brain works as if it were a kind of TV set.

No chemical compounds, molecules, atoms and any other substances making our brains include our mind.  So, our mind is not material.  It is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated by those substances or materials such as nerves, cells, chemical compounds, molecules, atoms, etc.

Therefore, our mind disappears when our body made of nerves, cells, chemical compounds, etc. stops biologically functioning and working as we die.  It is just like a TV set is turned off.  Like nothing is displayed on a TV screen when powered off, nothing works as our mind in the brain when we die.  So, some people say that there is nothing for us when we die.

However, the people of the past found something called souls in men through their observation of living and dead men.  Our minds disappear as our bodies die, but our souls survive.  Every human religion is based on this notion.

And, some people think that not only human beings but also every living thing has its mind and soul:

Animism is the belief that objects, places, and creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence. Potentially, animism perceives all things—animals, plants, rocks, rivers, weather systems, human handiwork, and perhaps even words—as animated and alive. Animism is used in the anthropology of religion as a term for the belief system of many indigenous peoples, especially in contrast to the relatively more recent development of organised religions.　(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animism)

Even some Japanese of the past found a spirit in a human action.  This notion led to various cultural trainings and arts such as Japanese art of self-defense (Judo), Japanese art of fencing (Kendo),  the tea ceremony (Sado), the art of flower arrangement (Kado), etc.

This material world or universe must be connected to other worlds or universes, which is out of the scope of human science, although some scientists claim that our material universe is actually linked with other material universes through gravity or electromagnetic forces. 

Therefore every living thing in our material world must have a soul that is connected to another world that should be called the spiritual world, although the mankind has its own spiritual world and every other living thing has its own spiritual world. In other words, the God gives a human soul to a human being and other types of souls to other living things.

Our mind is an electromagnetic phenomenon generated in our brain, which disappears as our body dies and our brain dies. But, our mind has a soul. And the God is spirit:
John 4
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

The God is not a biologically living thing, but the God exists and lives as a spirit.  Therefore we can live as a spirit but not only as a biologically living thing.  When our mind dies as our body dies, our soul should take over our self consciousness from our dying mind.  And our soul should enter the spiritual world where the God and other various spirits live.  But, our soul might die even in the spiritual world if the God does not give eternal life.  Christianity is concerned with this fate of souls.

A man has a soul, a dog has a soul, a flower has a soul, and even a virus might has a soul.  However, we cannot know what the souls of corona-viruses are.

But as long as a corona-virus is a living thing, at least when it is in our body, it must be controlled by the God or by our faith in the God who is a spirit.  Therefore, to suppress corona-viruses, we have to pray and ask the God to exterminate it.  Put simply, we can suppress it by reading the Bible.
