King James Version for Mar 11:11 to Mar 11:28


The most difficult part of the Gospel is the following:
"Mar 11:11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

Mar 11:12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:

Mar 11:13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.

Mar 11:14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.

Mar 11:15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;

Mar 11:16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.

Mar 11:17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

Mar 11:18 And the scribes and chief priests heard it, and sought how they might destroy him: for they feared him, because all the people was astonished at his doctrine.

Mar 11:19 And when even was come, he went out of the city.

Mar 11:20 And in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

Mar 11:21 And Peter calling to remembrance saith unto him, Master, behold, the fig tree which thou cursedst is withered away.

Mar 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Mar 11:23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.

Mar 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

Mar 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Mar 11:27 And they come again to Jerusalem: and as he was walking in the temple, there come to him the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders,

Mar 11:28 And say unto him, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority to do these things?"
* * *

From commonsense of today, Jesus Christ did absurdly curse a fig tree, though, as it had no fruits for Him.

From commonsense of today, Jesus Christ did absurdly rampage in the temple, though, as moneychangers were making business therein.

From commonsense of today, Jesus Christ did absurdly preach in a manner no contemporary priests would rather do, saying a believer could move a mountain to the sea.

From commonsense of today, Jesus Christ was very appropriately being brought into justice by the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders who were in charge of managing the temple for citizens including businessmen of the era.

Accordingly, modern intelligent men and women would begin to lose their faith, consciously or unconsciously, when reading this passage and thinking that Jesus Christ, too, made abusrd things like everybody, without appropriate guidance which they have never received nowadays.
* * *

You may think that Jesus Christ was just having a picnid around Jerusalem, but the truth is that He was at war. Devils began to launch decisive attacks on Jesus Christ, as He ventured to cut into the temple, a stronghold of the devils.

First of all, a spirit, holy or evil, can enter anything in this material universe. It is because the God created the spiritual universe before the material universe, conferring a superseding power to the former against the latter in case. This is the origin of animism, though religions based on animism have been laughed at for so long by faithless modern European and American scholars and researchers.

The devils especially sent an ill spirit to the fig tree so as to hurt a feeling of Jesus Christ who was enjoying the nature blessed by the God in this world. When the ill spirit was destroyed, the fig tree also had to die as it became useless for manifestation of glory of God.

Secondly, money is symbol of devils' temptation. The existence of moneychangers and other sellers and buyers was a proof of dominance of the devils in the temple. Jesus Christ was not breaking desks of the moneychangers and other shops, but He was expelling and chasing ill spirits who had controlled those engaged in business in the temple.

The devils especially sent the ill spirits to the temple so as to provoke Jesus Christ who was expecting to enjoy pious attitudes of Israelites in the temple.

Thirdly, Jesus Christ was of course using a parable. It is however sometimes dangerous, since it gives freedom of interpretation to listeners and disciples. If a man haunted by an ill spirit heard any parable, he would interpret it against a holy intention of Jesus Christ but accept the devils' malicious interpretation. This parable is in this sense the most vulnerable one to the devils waiting for a chance to make His teaching look absurd.

This is truly a challenge for a man to just follow Jesus Christ's holy intention or to take the parable with a worldly mind contaminated by the devils. In this way, His followers were selected as those who could repulse devils' temptation in interpreting parables.

Lastly, the devils appeared at last in shapes of the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders, namely respectable figures in this world. It is an old trick that devils got into the minds of noblemen, rich men, high-ranking officers, politicians, lawyers, judges, scholars, teachers, and any socially regarded men and women so as to suppress poor and powerless people.

They always appear as if they represent justice of society and a community or a nation. However, they are simply haunted by devils due to their desire for money, social positions, pride, and immorality. Truly, it is sadly a laughing-stock that ill spirited people wearing costly clothes with grand gestures accused Jesus Christ in the middle of His fighting against the devils who had already captured them.
* * *

The most difficult part of the Gospel is from Mar 11:11 to Mar 11:28 as indicated above.

Indeed, the most difficult ages of man may be from 11 to 28.

Man does absurd things and thinks in an absurd way in these ages.

But, if you can get through the ages without fatal prejudice implanted, you are truly blessed, just like a believer who can read through the above passage without prejudice.

(In 1637, Christians revolted against the samurai regime in Japan. This is the last civil war in the samurai era, in which 37,000 Christian farmers and samurais, most of whom were eventually killed, fought desperate battles against the Tokugawa regime that forbade Christianity and planned to close the nation. The civil war is called "Shimabara-no-Ran (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shimabara_Rebellion)" since it happened in the Shimabara Peninsula in Kyusyu, the southern big island of the Japanese Archipelago.

In 1792, a volcano in the Shimabara Peninsula erupted and a major part of the mountain collapsed into the sea causing a great tsunami, killing about 15,000 people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Unzen), resulting in the greatest casualties in volcano accidents in Japan.

It also erupted in 1991 taking the lives of 43 scientists and journalists in the avalanche of rocks and sands running down to the sea.

I have my own interpretation on these incidents with the fear of God who apparently authorizes the holy parable of Jesus Christ 2000 years ago around Jerusalem.)

Truly God is great; the God is only god for us!

I saw a white car passing by with a license plate number "7777."

I saw a jet plane flying several miles high in the far sky with a long, white vapor trail suddenly fading away while the plane itself was traversing the blue sky horizontally so high as a single, small, and white object without a trail.

And, Mars, red at other times, was shining like platinum Venus tonight.
* * *

A human body is made of 60 trillion (60 x 10**12) cells, which is 10,000 times larger than the whole population of mankind now on the earth.

However, a human body consists of 4760 x 10**24 atoms, which is about 80 trillion times larger the number of cells in our body.

In other words, you collect 4760 x 1000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 baseballs (as atoms), to each of which several golf balls (as electrons) are attached, and build a human body form using these balls as components.

Then, do you think this human body form, though tentatively so large, will work and function like a living human being?

Of course, not. So, you may like to give some physical properties to these balls, such as a positive electric charge to each baseball and a negative charge to each golf ball, which might enable, with luck, biological functions in this artificial human being.

Yet, you cannot expect it to live like you.

Nonetheless, your living body is in a sense made of 4760 x 1000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 baseballs, to each of which several golf balls are attached, and nothing else.

Yes, the minimum and basic components of your body are atoms, each of which consists of a nucleus (made of protons and neutrons) and electrons, and nothing else.
* * *

God is truly great and the God is only god for us!

If you really praise the God for this discovery, the God may be pleased.

But, if you continue to satisfy your own atoms with money and evil things, the God will be waiting for you somewhere with anger, in my view.
* * *

A super robot may be able to see only atoms in a human being.

But, Jesus Christ must be able to see a mind, a heart, a soul, or a spirit in a human being.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Jesus Christ made a blind person regain his eyesight which had been clouded so badly due to spiritual pollution of the world or simply lost due to physical malfunction, as the power of God worked inside Him.

"TO PREACH THE MESSAGE FEARLESSLY"

Tragedies of Egyptians, Israelites, Muslims, Americans, and Sudanese

The Pointer Sisters? (what a surprise)

Tragedies of Egyptians, Israelites, Muslims, Americans, and Sudanese



One big enigma is what Jesus Christ was thinking about the Roman Empire.

Also, I wonder what Jesus Christ was thinking about the glory of ancient Egypt.

And though it seems to have no relevance, I wonder if Islamic terrorists targeting the U.S. have made a big mistake; they have mistaken their enemy.
* * *

Today, everybody knows there is a big problem in Sudan with newly confirmed big oil reserves and a civil war.

Sudan was one of the poorest countries in the world, being located in the south of Egypt.

If the Roman Empire had not completely destroyed the national power of Egypt through colonization, Egypt might have had potential to annex Sudan very long time ago.

If Egypt could have coped with well Alexander the Great and Caesar, namely Macedonia and the Roman Empire, it might have become the world empire occupying Africa, the Mediterranean, and the Middle East.

After the glorious periods symbolized by Pyramids and reported in the Bible, Egypt remarkably lost its power and hegemony. Even having been leveraged by Islam, Egypt could not cope with Europe.

Why could not Egypt become another Japan?
* * *

The Roman Empire completely destroyed the potential of Egypt to become the world power in future.

It could have happened to Israelites 2000 years ago.

Actually, it is the Roman Empire that deprived Israelites of ability to establish their own country.

What is worse, the Roman Empire destroyed pride of Egyptian people.

The Roman Empire could have completely destroyed pride of Israelites 2000 years ago, too

Actually, it is the Roman Empire that deprived Israelites of ability to think that they deserved their own independent country for 1900 years.

The power of the Roman Empire in the ancient world was more horrible and decisive than you imagine today. We can see their influence even in today's world situation, specifically, on Egyptians and Israelites.

Put frankly, Egyptian lost pride and Israelites lost some ability.
* * *

To my astonishment, Egyptians thought it would be their great honor if Princess Diana married an Egyptian, a nephew of arms dealers who mostly worked for profits of Christians.

Something very wrong is there.

Since their ancestors praised and followed white-skinned Cleopatra as their queen, they seem to have lost something important such as pride of a tribe.

The fact that they wanted Princess Diana as another Cleopatra was a big astonishment for me.

(It is also astonishing to see certain Israelite Americans cannot see the difference in the ancient Chinese Civilization/the Japanese Civilization and the South American indigenous civilization. And thus they cannot effectively discuss the world economy. Japan has been the right successor of the ancient Chinese Civilization that once gave so much to Europeans for their cultural development.

Israelites seem to have lost some aspects of their intelligence, as they have failed in understanding and praising the Japanese Civilization and its great success.)
* * *

Unless Islam had been conferred to Egyptians, they might have loved to be always governed by a white-skinned queen.

Yet, there is a more significant issue. Egyptians seem to have become blind to the danger of the British Empire.

As the Roman Empire destroyed something important in the mind and heart of the Egyptian Civilization, the British Empire seems to have also destroyed something important in the mind and heart of the Islamic Civilization.

Contemporary Egyptians, indeed, wanted Princess Diana to marry an Egyptian, a nephew of arms dealers who mostly worked for profits of Christians, as the expected marriage would improve their standing.

Egyptians seem to be still brain-washed by Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, the Roman Empire, and the British Empire.

As Egypt is a center of Islamic study, it must also influence other Muslims, including radical activists and even terrorists.

Compared with Alexander the Great, Cleopatra, the Roman Empire, and the British Empire, the U.S. does not look so dangerous to Egyptians and Muslims.

As the present U.K. cannot be regarded as the same as the past British Empire, Muslims must not regard the U.K. as their enemy; but regarding the U.S. as an enemy with the mind brain-washed by the past British Empire is a tragedy and a big mistake.
* * *

One big enigma is what Jesus Christ was thinking about the Roman Empire.

Also, I wonder what Jesus Christ was thinking about the glory of ancient Egypt.

Indeed, 2000 years ago, Israelites were about to become another Egyptians.

Jesus Christ's first priority must have been to positively influence Israelites so that they could survive in the subsequent 2000 years.

In fact, by adopting a method of rejecting or secretly competing with Christianity, Israelites have survived, though they regard themselves as inherent Europeans which they are not, since they are a kind of Arabs historically.
* * *

Yes, as even today we cannot find any personality greater than Caesar in Europe, we can measure the merit and horrible influence of the Roman Empire.

The glory of ancient Egypt symbolized by Pyramids was completely destroyed by the Romans. (Further, even the introduction of Islam to Egypt could not restore its glory and pride against, say, the British Empire.)

Jesus Christ's biggest concern must be how to save Israelites and help them keep a specific pride as a holy race.

But, the Gospels do not tell His words on Egypt and the Roman Empire.

Does the silence on a large and clear issue mean an extremely grave concern?
* * *

If you are an Egyptian, a British, or an Israelite, you must listen to this kind of opinions at least once in your life.

If you are an American, you might somehow find a reason why some Muslims hate America that has not long history in relation with the Islamic world; indeed, they seem to be mistaking their enemy in their brain-washed mind.

The fact that Princess Diana was wanted by Egyptians tells everything.

Now, you also may find existence value of the U.S. not as a simple extension of the Roman Empire and the past British Empire.

America should not be an enemy of Islam, though Israelite Americans sometimes seem to like to make an enemy out of Japan, to my astonishment.


"WARNING TO THE RICH"

Miracle on Water and in Tempest

Godspeed the Tokyo Bay

Miracle on Water and in Tempest


Another miracle to be piously interpreted is the one that Jesus Christ calmed down the tempest and walked on the surface of a lake.

It is apparent that the tempest was also raging in the minds of His disciples even after the natural tempest got weakened.

In a frenzy and fear of losing life, His disciples were losing their ordinary sight and normal observation in a boat still rocking in shallow waters even after the main part of tempest had gone.

The boat was still violently swayed due to floundering about by His disciples trying hard to row the boat, while causing big splashes and spray, but still being haunted by the frenzy and fear of losing their lives.

The boat was then actually in the shallow waters, and rain and winds almost stopped.

So, Jesus Christ walked on the water to their boat and told them to stop the commotion in their minds.

His disciples were brought to their senses; the boat sailed forward without obstacles, namely their blind rowing, off the shallow; and they looked back to their Lord somehow behind standing in the water.

Indeed, they later reported that their Lord had stopped the tempest and walked on the water.
* * *

But, truth is that Jesus Christ was able to bring about and stop a natural tempest and walk on water, if the God so wishes.

If He does so, there must be however a more significant reason than the one for which the God created the universe and defined the natural laws.

If there had been a significant reason that is comparable with the Creation of the universe, the God would have allowed Jesus Christ to supersede the conventional natural laws, in my opinion.

His disciples getting frenzy and haunted by fear alone could not be such a grave reason, in my view.

Therefore, Jesus Christ waited for the natural tempest getting calmed and then walked on the shallow water, though He could bring about and stop a natural tempest and walk on deep water as a miracle for man.
* * *

My dream is of course someday that the Lord will march in that street in Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, or New York.

But, He must be waiting for a significant reason to do so that is comparable with the Creation, in order to supersede the conventional natural law that no dead man comes back alive, in my opinion.

Anyway, my dream is of course someday that the Lord will march in that street in Chicago, New Orleans, Los Angeles, or New York.

And, everybody, shining bright equally due to His glory, would confess that He is his or her Lord, no matter if he or she has a European type or an African type of skins which simply reflect His glory to shine without a trace of their color.
* * *

In an ancient age, when some heads of clans or kings in Japan were nominally subject to a Chinese Emperor about 1700 years ago or so, they had a special and spiritual practice in their voyage to China or specifically a Chinese territory in the Korean Peninsula.

On board, there was a man specifically appointed to be in charge of appeasing the anger of gods on the ocean in case something goes wrong. He never cleaned his body, cut his hair, changed his clothes, ate meats，got close to a woman, but just continued quietly to sit on a deck.

If the ship safely arrived at a destination port, he was highly praised and rewarded. But, if the voyage failed or somebody got sick on voyage, there was no guarantee of his life.
* * *

Don't you sometimes feel like yourself being specifically appointed to any sacred duty, though in terms of spiritual attitudes?

At least, we had better check if we are on board a ship where somebody is so appointed and who he or she is.

(Once in a desolate bunkhouse of a dreary industrial area, somewhere in Siberia, a Russian woman played the role, working as a kitchen worker without enjoying a luxury all through her life under the communist regime of the superpower with thousands of nuclear ballistic missiles.)

If such an appointed man or woman fails or flees by guile, we might be soon entering a tempest.

In a very large scale, I sometimes think Japan must be a nation so appointed in the world; however can the earth be a planet so appointed in the universe?

Now, who is such an appointed person in your company or workplace?



"...When You Pray and Ask for Something, Believe that You Have Received it..."

Jesus Christ and Moral Israelites

Arakawa River around Tokyo

Jesus Christ and Moral Israelites


Jesus Christ was almost killed by angry citizens 2000 years ago. He squatted down between angry Israelites and a woman to be stoned to death.

Angry people, each holding a stone, believed that they were doing a right thing to stone the woman to death.

Angry people, each holding a stone, believed that they were following a law to stone the woman to death.

Angry people, each holding a stone, believed that they were executing holy justice to stone the woman to death.

But, here came Jesus Christ, telling them not to kill her because they were also sinful. Then Jesus Christ squatted down between angry Israelites and the woman to be stoned to death.

Now, the angry and confused people had two targets: Jesus Christ and the woman.

Jesus Christ began to write something on the ground, maybe some names such as Cleoptara, in my personal theory. Anyway, when they saw what He was writing, they each dropped stones without power on the ground and started to leave the place.

When they were all gone, the woman knew she was saved by Jesus Christ.

As she knew that He risked His life just to save her, she repented and believed Him.

(I suppose there were no disciples of His in the scene. Only the woman could later report the incident in details including the conversation between Jesus Christ and her, which may suggest something very important.)
* * *

No one regarded this incident as a miracle.

In human history, there must have been tens of thousands of similar cases, but this must be the only case that a condemned woman has ever been saved by a single courageous stranger without support from fellows, arms, worldly power, money, business offer, and any tricks, even without inquiring and defending her. Or have you any such a report?

You may think this sort of things may happen often in the world; but I think this is the only case in the human history.
* * *

There is a thing which looks very simple and easy, if expressed or told, but is extremely rare or valuable, or even belongs to a sphere of miracles.

For example, if you are not influenced by immoral rich people in the U.S., it is a miracle.
* * *

When a master is immoral, if a servant becomes immoral, the servant will be forever a servant under the immoral master.

When a master is immoral, if a servant becomes moral, the servant will be free from the immoral master.

In a very special case, a political revolution can happen in this context.

AlQaeda does not need to use a suicide bomber; they just have to send handful moral men and women to the U.S. as a core of revolution in the U.S.
* * *

Was the woman Jesus Christ saved rich and immoral? Or poor and moral?

What do you think, though I do not mind if you are rich and moral?



"...The Day is Coming When All the Evil and Proud People will Burn like a Straw..."

North Korea and the 2008 Summer Olympic Games

Very Common Landscape around Tokyo

North Korea and the 2008 Summer Olympic Games


Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai (http://www.yoshiko-sakurai.jp/) is one of the most prominent female journalists in Japan. She once hosted a TV news program for a very long time.

Last night, a new TV program she jointly hosts reported on North Korea, specifically, not on missiles or nuclear bombs, but fake bills. It is well known that the North Korea Government is involved in illegally printing US 100 dollar bills, which are often called "Super-K" and presently "Super-Z."

It is said that the US agencies have so far confiscated fake bills worth 50 million dollar (face value) North Korea illegally printed out and circulated since 1989.

If they were just 10% of all the counterfeit bills North Korea had illegally printed as a national crime, there might be still 450 million dollars worth notes illegally circulated in the world.

According to the US Government, among 800 billion dollars worth notes being globally circulated, one in 10,000 bills is fake, which might however not be a very correct estimation.
* * *

North Korea is believed to have abducted and still keep more than 100 Japanese for intelligence purposes. Both the abduction and the fake bill projects are believed to have been conducted by the direct authority of Mr. Kim Jong-Il, the ruler of North Korea.

However, before these national crimes of North Korea were made open late 1990's, many Japanese politicians had visited North Korea on a friendly base. Those politicians have been called doves or peace-loving politicians. They also usually take a pro-China stance.

In other words, hawks are those who have been consistently harsh to North Korea and China, both under one-party dictatorship. Though she is not a politician, Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai is one of hawks.

What is particular about her is that she is the almost only non-nonsense female political commentator, author, and public figure with rich experiences in the news industry in Japan. And, she is hawkish and patriotic, very elegantly.
* * *

China has been supporting North Korea despite their ongoing abduction and fake-bill projects in addition to their nuclear tipped missile development project.

China is going to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing.

But, I have to say, at least, that there are many Japanese patriots, such as Ms. Yoshiko Sakurai, who cannot enjoy the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing Mr. Kim Jong-Il will surely enjoy.



"How Much More, Then, Should I Have Pity for Nineveh"

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace in Nagatoro Gulch


(A Little Thought of Today:

Judaism regards Jesus Christ as one of Israelites if He ever existed 2000 years ago.

Christians believe that Jesus Christ is God.

Muslims regard Jesus Christ as one of holy messengers who had appeared before the last and greatest holy messenger who established Islam 1300 years ago.

Now, what do you like to be: a Judaist, a Christian, or a Muslim?

Most of super rich people in the U.S. are Christians, for your reference.

Aside from this practical question, the above religious state on the earth tells that you have to concentrate on God Himself, but not religion, and even not on Jesus Christ if the God so wishes.

Anyway, mankind has to more develop the concept of God; otherwise, this kind of arguments may lead to a kind of tautology in terms of meaning if not form.

Without knowing God and His omnipotence, you may say you are an Israelite who in fact does not understand God whom a Christian, who you are in other fate, also does not understand like a Muslim who you are in other fate and does not understand Allah.)


"PUT UP BY THE LORD, NOT BY MAN"

Kanzo Uchimura; "Gods creates the world"

Old and Humble Station Northwest of Tokyo


Kanzo Uchimura; "Gods creates the world"



Kanzo Uchimura, a notable author and Christian, was born in 1861 and died in 1930 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uchimura_Kanzo).

In one of his writings, he introduced a poem of Wordsworth:

"Evening Ode

Wings on my shoulder seem to play:
But, rooted here, I stand and gaze,
On those bright steps that heavenward raise
Their practicable way."

Uchimura wrote that this poem proved that there is Heaven, place to go after death.

In the same book, he described how his mentor, Julius Hawley Seelye, in Amherst College recalled his deceased wife:
"The old professor pointed at a picture on the wall and said, so gently as if he had been a boy, that it was his wife who had died two years before and was now waiting for him in Heaven."

Uchimura wrote that this episode proved that there is Heaven, place to go after death.
* * *

Kanzo Uchimura also wrote about how to read and interpret description on scientific matters in the Bible.

Such description of the Bible should be read and understood with faith but not with scientific mind, according to him.

If the God said that He created the world in six days in a specific sequence, you should take it as such with faith.

But, of course, God is almighty. It is possible for Him to say that He created the world in six days in a specific sequence, while science told us that the universe emerged 14 billion years ago and the earth has been evolving for five billion years.

What's more, it is the Christian Civilization that has developed the modern science to this stage, owing to mercy of God.

It is not so easy but possible to find a glimpse of omnipotence of God in that the God said that He created the world in six days in a specific sequence, while science told us that the universe emerged 14 billion years ago and the earth has been evolving for five billion years.
* * *

God first created a concept of a day for Himself; He then created every creature in "His six days."

But, He also created laws of the nature which follows logic He also created according to the level of existence of His creatures, including mankind.

Then, He allowed mankind to have their own concept of a day, as an analogy of "His day," and have ability to scientifically trace His work as history of the universe, the earth, and evolution.

In this way, while the God created the world in "His holy six days," mankind is tracing His feat through science with understanding that the universe emerged 14 billion years ago and the earth has been evolving for five billion years based on a concept of a day of mankind.
* * *

Even though you are remarkably brilliant to find any value in EEE-Report, there are many Americans who do not think that any concept has two levels or versions of its meaning, namely, the holy version and the human version.

Even His "momentary" creation of Adam and Even can be only traced by mankind through biological evolution, over 3.8 billion years, from a single-cell creature in the ocean to the present-day mankind on the land following a theory of biological evolution.

So we can praise our God, saying that how glorious God is because "His holy moment" is our 3.8 billion years and "His holy six days" are our 14 billion years or 3.8 billion years.

How wonderful it is that we are allowed to use the concept of a day, though of a human version of the concept.
* * *

Kanzo Uchimura wrote that the precise description in the Bible is originally that "Gods (Elohim) creates the world" but not "God (El) creates the world."

Why "Gods?" It is wrong in terms of grammar.

I can sense an influence of the Sumerian Civilization in it.

Anyway, as God is almighty, he can be a God and Gods at the same time beyond understanding of mankind who has existed only for a few million years on the earth, but sometimes thinks arrogantly his logic and intelligence is as advanced as God's omnipotence.

Every "His holy moment" of the Creation can be all together displayed on His computer screen; then on the screen, there are as many Gods as the number of "His holy moments" of the Creation.

The past, the present, and the future must be all presented on His computer screen. He can see Himself in each moment in the past, the present, and the future.

He probably kindly hints to mankind His omnipotence by allowing for the expression "Gods creates the world" as He so wishes.
* * *

Certain Americans once taught some Japanese Christianity as in the case of Kanzo Uchimura.

Anyway, God is almighty. If He chose somebody, we have to just accept him or her, since God is almighty and the chosen one was truly chosen by the God who is the Almighty.


(Do you believe that the God chose a place for you to live in, if you are now living in New York or Los Angeles? As for me, I do believe partly due to convenience of taking pictures such as those presented on EEE-Reporter. God is truly great and the God is the only god for us.)


"LET THE WHEAT AND THE WEEDS GROW UNTIL THE HARVEST"

Water and Ice: Miracle Properties

Local Line Northwest of Tokyo

Water and Ice: Miracle Properties


Water or a water molecule is very unique or is almost a miracle.

One well known unique feature of water is that it becomes lighter when it is frozen; thus ice floats on water. Such a case is very rare in the nature; most of other molecules get heavier when frozen than in a liquid state.

In addition, at four degrees Celsius, the volume of water gets the smallest with an identical mass. At four degrees Celsius, a relative density of water reaches a maximum. (At zero degrees Celsius, water becomes ice. F = (C x 9/5) + 32, for your conversion to Fahrenheit.)

However, no exact explanation has been ever made with mathematical expressions on why the volume of water gets the smallest at four degrees Celsius.

Average-distance-of-two-water-molecules = Physical-interaction (T);
When T = 4, the average distance or a volume gets minimum.

Anyway, as water is heavier than ice, in winter a pond can have a ceiling of ice with water under it down to the bottom in which fish can survive.

If ice is heavier than water, ice sinks and a pond gets frozen from the bottom up to the surface in a time sequence, making the pond one big mass of ice where no fish can survive.

According to a Japanese scientist, this natural law shows how the God is great in His Creation of the universe.

Put simply, without this property of water, biological evolution on the earth would not result in the emergence of mankind.

(Nearly 70% of young man's body is water, while nearly 50% of an old man's body is water. As Japanese are so sensitive to quality of water, there are so many beautiful women in Japan, according to a theory. Even if you are a Cleopatra, you may like to taste Japanese brand-name spring water. Water is also a key to taste of Japanese dish.)

If you can invent a method to take out a hydrogen molecule (H2) from a water molecule (H2O) at very low costs, you can change the world.

In that case, we do not need any other fuels for generation of electricity. All we have to have is a water tank in a car and a house to get power for driving a motor, an engine, or electric and electronic circuits. You do not need oil, coal, and bio fuels for these purposes; instead, seawater may become a main power source. And environment of the earth will be protected.
* * *

If you can invent a method to change seawater into freshwater or drinking water at very low costs, a billion people in the world will be free from shortage of water. Even the whole desert in the Middle East and South Asia can be converted into agricultural fields.
* * *

Indeed water is a key to survival of mankind.

In addition, when and how water, now abundant on the earth, was created is still unknown, though it is likely that the uncountable number of comets carried water to the earth. However, how water is foamed in the space, probably near Jupiter, is still unknown.

Frankly speaking over a cup of coffee, for example, we do not know something so important for our future about water.

(You had better taste high-quality of soft water, used for green tea, in Japan.)


"...For the Others Put in What They Had to Spare of their Riches, but She, Poor She was, Put in All; She Gave All She Had to Live on..."

Roadside Humble Shinto Shrine

(A Little Thought of Today:

"The God Is Almighty" is the first thing to teach children.

Hence, the God can be perfect and at the same time imperfect, or terribly He can be simply imperfect while being God, since He is almighty.

The meaning of omnipotence is very difficult for mankind to grasp.

At least, He can change any rules at His will; He can change a rule, given to mankind as concept and logic, on judging omnipotence as well as perfection, though He has not changed laws of the nature and universe since its formation 14 billion years ago.

The God can be a mere man at his will as He is almighty. He can be a flower or a bird, too, since He is Almighty. Otherwise, he would let his works or parts autonomously function as if they were independent and free.

The best meaning of evolution of mankind is related to progress of our understanding of His omnipotence.

Indeed, He commands the universe even at a level where part and all are equal, or existence and nonexistence are equal; and Death and life are equal. However, having love and having every other excuse for not having love are forever different, since God is love.

Therefore, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are possible at the same time on this earth, since God is almighty.

A Little Story of Today:

This is a true story of an old woman in Russia. She was a kitchen worker all through her life under the communist regime. From her earlier years, she had been working in a kitchen in a factory in a local place in Russia. She had never been to Moscow. She had never been to other towns. When she got old and stopped working, she told that it had been her life to do the meal for workers in a factory in a local place. "It is what my life was all about," said the old woman.

She looked like one of those I think to have never contributed to deterioration of the world.

Usually, in proportion to material happiness, one is contributing to deterioration of the world.

The richer we become, usually the worse we are making the world.

We have to think how such a woman looks to the eye of God.

For her sake or for her virtue, I think, the God let the Cold War end peacefully without thermonuclear war.
* * *

A Little Drill of Today:

Now, what do you think the God will do for your sake?

As God is almighty, He can make you as valuable as the Russian woman, a life time cook in a dreary factory in a bleak industrial area of the communist country, for whose sake however thermonuclear war could be avoided between the USSR and the U.S. from a theological point of view.)



"BUT GOD IN HIS GRACE CHOSE ME EVEN BEFORE I WAS BORN"

Unthinkable at WTC Stopped Incidentally Hidden Nuclear Plot

"On the eve of destruction" ...let it be autumn here

Unthinkable at WTC Stopped Incidentally Hidden Nuclear Plot


I saw a black car with the license plate number "9-11" as I tell you, my friend, over and over again.
* * *

If you have "four" bombardment planes and "two" target cities, a capital of an enemy country and its commercial city, how would you send your bombers?

Suppose that you are now in a sate of war, since you already attacked your enemy's embassies in another continent and their naval ship in a foreign port; now you are embarking on the homeland attack of your enemy country, since they had already fired missiles targeting you commanding in a certain remote country, though they failed.

So then, in this context, targets of your bombers must be first military installations and governmental facilities, such as a defense department building and a congress building.

You can also attack a world-leading commercial city, but nowadays if you destroy several major buildings in such a city, you cannot deliver a decisive blow to the economy of a world-leading economic power except a short-term turmoil in the financial sector. If you have relatives of world-class businessmen, you must realize it.

Then you will send "two bombers" to the single most critical target in the capital, "one bomber" to the next important target in the capital, and "the last one" to the business center of the commercial city as a diversionary operation.

If any "one" bomber fails in this mission, a possibility of which is high, you can still significantly damage the most critical target in the capital as you have sent "three" bombers to the capital of your enemy country, "two" of which are heading for the single most critical target.
* * *

But, AlQaeda sent "two" hijacked jet planes to the World Trade Center in New York. "One" to the Pentagon. The last "one" to the Capitol.

It is strange. "Two" jet planes to the Pentagon, "one" plane to the Capitol, and the last "one" to the WTC seem to be more reasonable.

Besides, AlQaeda did not think that the complete demolition of a World Trade Center tower was possible by a crashing of one commercial jet plane. They expected that only the upper part of the tower would be blown off, so that an ugly scene of WTC would be observed worldwide.

(In fact, while one tower was burning and did not show a sign of entire collapse at all, another jet plane did not aim at the same tower to make sure the total collapse. They just wanted to harm two towers, yes two for making them theatrical and ugly though not total collapse, aiming at blowing off their upper structures. It, indeed, tells what was inside their minds.

And it is why I suspect that certain Americans, with arrogance symbolized by the WTC towers but not the Capitol, must have once insulted Mr. Osama bin Laden very personally.)

If the two WTC towers could have sustained themselves and continued to stand as envisaged, their major success from a military point of view was only a partial damage to the Pentagon, which would not have given such catastrophic psychological damages to many of American citizens except high ranking officials of the US Government.
* * *

What I want to say is that an unthinkable occurred on September 11, 2001. In fact, the unexpected total collapse of the two WTC towers occurred in the sheer daylight and under the blue sky over the East Coast of the U.S.

However, in my view, it is not an all-out war by a nation whether it is virtual or real. AlQaeda will never use a suitcase type of nuclear bombs to the U.S. as it is not a nation whether its existence base is virtual or real. They do not represent the whole people who belong to an authentic nation, whether it is virtual or real, only which can give a moral base, comprehensive justification, and historic context.

They are not living, fighting, and thinking at the level for and with the paradigm of entering the nuclear war on behalf of the whole people they might have been otherwise able to represent.

AlQaeda must be thinking that they could enjoy another holy war in Afghanistan such as the one against the Soviet Union; they did not expect to lose cozy bases in Afghanistan; "Not all American citizens would be mobilized even psychologically for an all-out war, since the main targets conceived by most of Americans should be the Pentagon or the Capitol while the WTC towers would remain standing though in ugly shapes."

"The U.S. military must come in a conventional manner, while all the Muslims in the region would be encouraged into unity; even Muslims in the Northern Alliance might join brave and heroic AlQaeda."

Al Qaeda must have been aware at least that Allah would not have forgiven them at all, if they had pulled hundreds of millions of innocent Muslims into a nuclear war against the U.S.
* * *

If all the four hijacked planes had made their way and the Capitol had been significantly damaged with precious casualties in addition to damages at the Pentagon, US citizens would have taken it as an extremely grave attack on their country.

But, I still think that something must have been very different. If the two towers had continued to stand, there must have been something very different.

Again, even if AlQaeda announced that they got into a nuclear war against the U.S. as a representative of pious Muslims, no Muslims would support Mr. Osama bin Laden, since their joining AlQaeda means the complete end of peace and prosperity of the whole Islamic world.

Allah minds every single life of Muslims.


The incidents on September 11, 2001 are not still perfectly understood. I mean we are yet to realize the reasons why the God allowed for that degree of success of terror.

Can you say that it was for glory of God to be revealed?

Very frankly speaking, I believe so even on behalf of nobody, though I am Japanese who, of course, has ever visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The 9/11 terror with that scale must have incidentally stopped, probably in an unknown sequence of hidden events, another unknown conspiracy by lunatic persons of using a nuclear bomb, which might have caused casualties as large as those in the Great Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster or the Great Northern Pakistan Earthquake, or otherwise which might have been used even in New Orleans, the U.S.

Hence, I believe so even on behalf of nobody, though I am Japanese who, of course, has ever visited Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I believe that the unthinkable at WTC on September 11, 2001, though a great tragedy it was, incidentally stopped proceeding of a hidden nuclear plot of those days.

God is truly great and Allah is the only god for Muslims, yes for pious Muslims.

(Then, my majestic friend, keep standing firm in an elegant shape!

And it goes without saying that I am praying that all the souls of terror victims for whom I am too sorry for words are wlecomed in Heaven. )

(A Little Information of Today:
- Chinese Government, on a mandatory basis, closed 3,176 companies that discharged or emitted industrial pollutants or wastes in 2006. Costs for decontamination and depollution reached US 30 billion dollars (1.15% of China's GDP) [Jiji].

- The number of HIV patients in China reached 200,000 [Jiji].

It is time for Wal-Mart Stores, a big importer of Chinese commodities, to consider how to contribute to welfare of Chinese people. I suppose that the Chinese Communist Party has not yet presented exact data to the world.

A Little Thought of Today:
Americans often say that it is a super tough challenge to get through a long Presidential Election Campaign and win the final voting. Therefore, the US President should be respected only for this reason.

The issue is if this long and tense process educates a candidate to be a great President when he or she is finally elected as President. If this process makes a candidate craftier and wilier as an individual, it is a tragedy to have such an election system.

Presidential Election after Election, the people of the U.S. must be also educated to be less crafty and wily as with their Presidents.

Any election is not only a convenient and reasonable method but also a training course for voters and candidates, in my view.

Any reasonable job, as with a case of religious activities, presents a way for a man to complete his personality and enhance virtue, according to a Japanese traditional philosophy.

But, it may not directly apply to women. What do you think, while we may have sooner or later a madam President in the U.S.?

Jesus Christ nonetheless must say to be a good neighbor to a madam President. If her husband is a good neighbor to us, it will be easier for us to be so.

Yet, having a good life partner may be more difficult than having a good madam President, in my view. What do you think?)

- The recommitment rate in Japan is almost 49% for those released from a prison within past five years. Now a new prison fully equipped with IT systems and partly under private management has been recently completed in Japan taking into consideration the above statistics [NHK].

- One Japanese kidney transplant patient who went through the transplant operation in China paid US 30,000 dollars to a female Chinese doctor who arranged a new kidney. But, the kidney did not fit to the patient and was eventually taken out; then the patient came back to Japan. It is unknown if the kidney had been taken from a Chinese criminal executed and if money was partly returned. The rate of complete success in this kind of special transaction in China is said to be about 33% for Japanese patients secretly operated [Fuji TV].)


"SO OUR HOPE IN YOU IS NEVER SHAKEN"

Japan in the Era of Queen Elizabeth I

"And If Your Love Is True"

Japan in the Era of Queen Elizabeth I



In January 1593, Japanese samurai troops for real clashed with Chinese troops near Seoul in the Korean Peninsula.

Samurai generals, who were sent by the samurai king Toyotomi Hideyoshi (http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/TOKJAPAN/TOYOTOMI.HTM) to the military campaign through Korea to the Ming Dynasty of China, had to face 43,000 Ming troops.

Though Hideyoshi sent 150,000 troops equipped with harquebuses or matchlock guns, the then most advanced weapon, to the Korean Peninsula, in this decisive battle with the Ming military Japan's troops were outnumbered due to the need to address other persistent combats with Koreans. Nonetheless, samurai troops won the battle; the Chinese supreme commander escaped by a hair.

Yet, samurai generals, in scracity of food and coldness of the winter in a region so near to Siberia, understood that it was something different from what they could bear psychologically and physically to advance their troops to Beijin, the capital of Ming, and occupy Korea and China as dreamed of by Hideyoshi. So, they persuaded their lord Hideyoshi into peace conference with Ming.

Hideyoshi, believing that Ming would offer a virtual surrender and show liege homage to him, agreed with his generals who were also feud lords with their own half-independent territory in Japan. Accordingly, the samurai troops pulled out of the Korean Peninsula.

This is the third full-scale war between Japan and China, following the Battle of Baekgang (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Baekgang) in the Korean Peninsula in the 7th century and the Mongol invasion attempts against Japan in the 13th century.

(Foreign military forces, such as Korean troops and Chinese troops, have never invaded Japan all through history, except the US military after WWII.)
* * *

There have been many arguments on why Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of great heroes in Japan's history, ventured into the war against Ming that had taken a policy of national seclusion after having tried some expansion policies over oceans since its independence from the Mongolian Empire.

Yet, you cannot judge Hideyoshi and the war from a viewpoint of today. It was the age of Queen Elizabeth I who, as a monarch of a lesser nation, had to face the then super power Spain.

Some historians in Japan find analogy between the samurai king Hideyoshi and Queen Elizabeth I.

What's more, Japan then, putting an end to the Age of Civil Wars with Hideyoshi as the last winner, produced one third of silver of the total amount in the world, to your astonishment.

Japan was also then the largest producer of the fire arms and iron products in the world, to your astonishment.

Some of many missionaries Vatican had been sending to Asia were also active in Japan. They brought the latest information on the world to Japanese feudal lords who were all of the samurai class.

Hideyoshi was not a simple brute man who only knew how to fight. To be a samurai, you had to learn various things such as reading, writing, calculation, Buddhism, Confucianism and other Chinese classical literature, traditional Japanese culture, and so on in addition to art of warfare and specific martial art to be respected as a leader of society and a lord of his feud or territory. A samurai is an intellectual or so expected.

Hideyoshi, a son of a farmer, was a true hero and genius to unify all the feud lords under his authority, putting an end of the century-long Age of Civil Wars in Japan, while keeping good relation with the Imperial Family.

Then, why did Hideyoshi try to conquer China by sending so many troops up through the Korean Peninsula?

(Korean people even today thoroughly hate Hideyoshi as just a wicked and devilish man who irreverently started a war against China and Korea, the two superior countries to Japan in their ideology. According to Sinocentrism, the top is China, the second is Korea, and the last is Japan. Hideyoshi's act was tantamount to a revolt of the order in the East Asia based on the sequence of having enjoyed the glory of the ancient Chinese Civilization.

But, If Korea then had joined Japan to conquer Ming as Hideyoshi requested, history must have been so different, since practices of teachings of good ancient Chinese Civilization were more honestly pursued in Korea and Japan than in China even in those days.

Yet, most victims of the war between Chiana and Japan in the late 16th century were Korean people. It goes without speaking that we are extremely sorry for them.)
* * *

The then world-leading production of silver as well as gold and guns in Japan, in addition to world information brought by Vatican missionaries, could be a key to Hideyoshi's judgement on possibility of success in his plan.

But, there is another decisive factor.

It is Oda Nobunaga (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobunaga_Oda), Hideyoshi's long-time boss and benefactor.

Nobunaga had a dream of conquering China and becoming a great king of Asia like the then superpower of the world Spain.

If you look at the world map, you will find a strange thing that there is a world called "Latin America" where people speak Spanish, though most inhabitants are indigenous people whose ancestors had traveled to Americas from Asia more than 10,000 years ago.

Yes, if Nobunaga's dream had been fulfilled like Spain's, there might have been "Japanese China."

Of course, maturity and refinement of Chinese Civilization is three-digit advanced than that of Indigenous Civilizations in the Americas in the 16th century.

If it is a fact that maturity and refinement of Japanese Civilization then got equal to or partly surpassed China and Korea, it is an act of madness for Japan to venture into conquest of China in the late 16th century.

(Koreans then had no matchlock guns.)

Oda Nobunaga was not an ordinary person.
* * *

A type of persons like Nobunaga cannot be successful in Japan. But, history gave the only one chance to a man with such personality to be a hero in Japan.

Since having won a miracle victory when he was a young and lesser feud lord, he continued bloody and cruel victory over other major feud lords in the central part of Japan, leveraging matchlock guns introduced by Portuguese in the middle of the 16th century and devising an innovative military system.

When he was assassinated in a Buddhist temple near Kyoto, the rest of his ambition of unifying Japan was taken over by his samurai general Hideyoshi who neatly succeeded in it.

It is said that Oda Nobunaga got an idea about the world or the globe from missionaries of Vatican. He loved a terrestrial globe presented by a missionary of Vatican. He allowed for missionaries to preach the Gospels in Japan while hating some traditional Buddhist factions. It is also said that he did not respect the Imperial Family. He was a rationalist, so cool, cold, and sometimes cruel.

But, Hideyoshi served Nobunaga with ardor and obtained the biggest trust.

In a sense, a lunacy that had haunted Nobunaga must have been partly transferred to Hideyoshi as with the case commonly found in such hierarchical relation even today.

The lunacy seems to have been amplified and intensified by introduction of European Civilization into Japan through missionaries of Vatican in the era when Spain was the superpower supported by Vatican.

(But, Hideyoshi eventually began to suppress Christians and Vatican's missionaries after unification of Japan.)
* * *

In 1597, when Hideyoshi found that Ming did not surrender but treated him as a Ming's subordinate in an official letter sent to him after having withdrawn his troops from the Korean Peninsula, he felt insulted, got inflamed, and ordered another campaign to the Ming Dynasty through Korea.

But shortly thereafter Hideyoshi died in the great Osaka Castle probably by mercy of God on Koreans; the military campaign was terminated; and the samurai lords began to think about a future regime in Japan.

Ming however fatally lost its national power, which triggered its collapse in 1644.

Hideyoshi's descendants could not keep power; the Tokugawa clan took over the control of the nation through fierce battles, especially in Osaka, mobilizing every artillery guns, though explosive shells were not used in those days.

As a result, the capital of the samurai regime shifted from Osaka to Edo (Tokyo), Tokugawa's feud.

But, people in Osaka still today admire Toyotomi Hideyoshi who built the great Osaka Castle to place his headquarters in the center city of the Western Japan.

(Technically, "Toyotomi" is a surname just like "Oda" and "Tokugawa" are.)
* * *

This is what was happening in the Far East when Queen Elizabeth I was trying hard to cope with the then superpower Spain on the ocean, heavily relying on British pirates who were later recognized as nobles.

(The upper class of samurais in Japan had each also a title as a noble.)

This is what was happening when Japan was the major producer of silver as well as gold and firearms in the world in the era of Queen Elizabeth I, significance of which has almost been neglected by, or beyond understanding of, European and American elites, including cabinet members of the US Government and professors at Cambridge and Oxford.

This is what happened when Vatican first sent its missionaries to Japan in the 16th century.

But, what is good in knowing the history of Japan and its uniqueness?

In the late 16th century, when Japan was a world-leading producer of silver as well as gold and firearms, in addition to being the respected target of Vatican missionaries, there were no such things as Anglo Saxon, Anglo American, and Israelite American world powers.

In those years, the Spanish Empire tied up with Vatican was killing millions of native South Americans; however then 900-years old Islam was protecting Muslims somehow well from such violence by Europeans; and Japan with 1100-years old Buddhism practices was well prepared to face Vatican missionaries, significance of which has almost been neglected by, or beyond understanding of, European and American elites, including cabinet members of the US Government and professors at Cambridge and Oxford.

With knowledge of Japanese Civilization, you may more clearly understand the nature of the European Civilization and Vatican, so that you can more effectively improve them or cope with them.
* * *

Samurais as a whole did not pursue the lunatic dream of Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (though they could do so like then lunatic Spanish and British, since they had funds, weapons, and information) as proven by the fact that some major samurai lords secretly rejected full cooperation with Hideyoshi. The same factor led to Japan's national isolation from the 17th century on to shut out Vatican influences.

(During Hideyoshi's campaigns, some Korean artisans and cultural figures with valuable skills and knowledge were brought to Japan and treated very well. Some of their descendants are still enjoying the legacy in Japan, though there were other unhappy and hapless cases.)

Finally, if America and Europe failed in obeying God, you can still trust in Japan, though in January 1593 Japanese samurai troops for real clashed with Chinese troops near Seoul in the Korean Peninsula.

"THEN THE PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS WILL CALL YOU HAPPY"

Warning to Gangsters in Tokyo and Chicago

'Sakuranbo' (Cherries) fallen on the ground

Warning to Gangsters in Tokyo and Chicago


I saw the license plate number of a car "11-11" passing by me this evening. So, I am now writing some.
* * *

An example of using a handgun in Japan:
A member of a crime syndicate, in his mid-30's, recently shot to death another member of the same syndicate at a convenience store in a city of Tokyo, and then ran back to his apartment house in which he locked himself, firing 11 bullets at police men surrounding the apartment.

When police burst into his room 15 hours later after the occurrence of the incident, the member of a crime syndicate tried to commit a suicide by shooting at himself but failed. In his room, two Makarov handguns were found.

The criminal has been a member of the crime syndicate for four years, which is not so long in a sense. He is just a low-level member but has been requested to financially contribute to the crime syndicate; he has been paying one million yen (8,300 dollars) per month to the management of the crime syndicate.

The criminal had squeezed money from special entertainment shops nearby. But, due to crackdown on those shops, they had closed the criminal business one after another, which led to a loss of source of money for the criminal.

As he became unable to financially contribute to his crime syndicate, other members began to cruelly blame him. On the very day, another member of almost the same age met with the criminal at the convenience store and condemned the criminal fiercely with every dirty accusing word, which resulted in the accuser's being shot dead.

This is one typical case that a handgun is almost exclusively used in a feud among members of crime syndicates in Japan, so far as now.
* * *

It also symbolizes a case that violence, bad money, special entertainment, and death are all linked together.

Indeed, as Jesus Christ told, if you associate with a woman familiar with violence, bad money, and special entertainment, you will also become familiar with violence, bad money, and special entertainment.

And, two of you are destined to death that leads to the hell but not to the eternal life.
* * *

Mr. Anderson Cooper of CNN today presented a state of violence in the southern district of Chicago where scores of school boys and girls were killed in this school season.

Four high-school students interviewed, all African American, said that it was money that sellers of guns and drugs minded.

Indeed, tens of thousands of weapons, including a military-grade machine gun, have been confiscated and stored in a police facility in Chicago.
* * *

Lastly, forget about bad money and bad entertainment but wait for good miracles which will soon come around you, no matter where you are in Tokyo, Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York, in my feeling.

I saw again two cars with the same four-digit number, such as 2035, on their license plates passing each other this evening.

Something might be getting near. God is of course in every space between every consecutive moments in this flow of time to the unknown but, in my feeling, silver direction.
* * *

Last night, NHK's report program spotlighted a social problem of handguns among people. In Japan, the law forbids possession of a gun with punishment of imprisonment with hard labor between one year and ten years.

This law applies to everyone in the territory of Japan. Ordinary citizens are never allowed to have a gun. Police officers are of course exceptions. They are carrying a gun with them, according to law.

The point in question is that nowadays not only gangsters and criminals but also the so-called ordinary citizens are getting contaminated with this crime of possessing a gun. Most of those illegally possessed guns are made in foreign countries. Import of handguns for sale is punished with imprisonment with hard labor for an unidentified prison term but longer than five years.

A Fuji TV midnight news program reported on a use of a very-small capsule to be implanted under the skin of a specific type of patients in the U.S., in which his or her disease-related data is recorded. The data is read out by a special reader in a hospital where he or she goes for medical check or treatment.

The point in question is that this use of the under-skin capsule is intended for a patient who cannot describe his or her disease or identify himself or herself to a doctor due to the disease.

As is usual for this kind of sensitive issues, the pros and cons are batted back and forth in certain American communities.
* * *

On the homepage of Washington Post, there was an advertisement of "Larry King Live" with Mrs. Nancy Reagan this morning in Japan time. She recently published a diary of her deceased husband, the late President Ronald Reagan.

President Reagan faced an assassination attempt using a handgun in 1981. It is said that a President elected in such a year as 1980 cannot fulfill his term like the cases of John F. Kennedy elected in 1960 and Abraham Lincoln elected in 1860.

However, due to special charm of Mrs. Nancy Reagan, the spell failed to work on President Ronald Reagan. Yet, Ronald Reagan after retirement suffered Alzheimer's disease which took out his memory on his life during his presidency. This spell is really die-hard.

But, President Ronald Reagan had kept a journal and First Lady Nancy Reagan has made it public finally, taking a final cut at the spell.

Mrs. Nancy Reagan looks very impressive to our eyes; she looks like a kind of typical ladies but it is difficult to see what type she represents among American ladies.
* * *

If your neighbor becomes a victim of a handgun or a specific disease, what would you do?

Or if you become a victim of a handgun or a specific disease, what would you like your neighbors to do for you?

The spell of handguns and disease would chase you if you become rich and richer. This may be a very profound question.

At least, I am already praying that my neighbors will not suffer damages inflicted by a handgun or a disease. Of course, viewers of EEE-Reporter are my neighbors.

I hope that the God protects us all equally from gun bullets and diseases.

(Heaven is place without guns and disease. The hell is place full of guns and diseases. That is why I am recommending you to reconsider religious traditions of your ancestors. Anyway, I have been honestly studying what your ancestors were also trying to see through their faith. If I were you, I would trust in me.)


"TO PREACH THE MESSAGE FEARLESSLY"

Outstanding Reputation Again!

"Secret Love Crying" as sung by Down Town Boogie Woogie Band (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-37-79c7b926249cfd604055dad5a79d9a58-71-9y-70-sji.html)　

Outstanding Reputation Again!


In a recent session of the International Whaling Commission (IWC), Japan this year too has requested authorization for its traditional whaling practices. But, a representative of Australia said that such an attitude would undermine Japan's outstanding reputation worldwide.

Someday, whales may be bred and reared in a large fish (?) farm like beef cattle in a ranch on the land. Along with globalization, the Antarctic Continent and the Antarctic Ocean may become suitable places for this new industry.
* * *

As for "Japan's outstanding reputation worldwide," it has been again confirmed (http://www.worldpublicopinion.org/pipa/articles/home_page/366.php?nid=&id=&pnt=366&lb=hmpg1).

In a "multinational poll by The Chicago Council on Global Affairs and WorldPublicOpinion.org," each ratio of those who answered that a certain country is acting a great deal or somewhat responsibly is as follows:

China....38%......(meaning not so responsible)
US.........41%......(meaning somewhat responsible)
Japan.....46%.....(meaning regarded as responsible)

Respondents were chosen from the following countries: China, India, the United States, Russia, France, Thailand, Ukraine, Poland, Iran, Mexico, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Argentina, Peru, Armenia and Israel, plus the Palestinian territories; they account for 56% of mankind.

After WWII, Japan with the pacifist Constitution almost completely stayed out of war till the War on Iraq to which 500 troops of Ground Self-Defense Force were sent (now returned to Japan) for humanitarian aids.

Instead, the U.S. entered a war in the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam, the areas once the Imperial Japan had occupied. And, the U.S. could not complete each war as a victory. It is of profound significance, since in those days Japanese veterans of WWII said that US troops did not know how to fight in the Korean Peninsula and Vietnam. Indeed, Japan almost completely stayed out of those wars.

The third major war for the U.S. is, in a sense, a long War on Iraq which started in 1991 as the Gulf War and still continues as part of the War on Terror.

And, I have a rather pessimistic view on this fatal war for some rich, very rich, and extremely rich Americans.

I will discuss this issue later.
* * *

Any way, world public opinions are important, or more important than reports produced by a governmental organization such as CIA.

If you can devise a more effective and innovative way to get, analyze, and publish this kind of information on TV, the Internet, and cellular phones, you may contribute to peace of the world and get some financial reward.

I think I can tackle the issue, though so far no business partner is found yet. Yes, I may become another Mr. Bill Gates of the 21st century...(oh, what shall I do, if I become a king of information?).

"WHAT SHE HAS DONE WILL BE TOLD IN MEMORY OF HER"

The Last Winner of Generation

The Last Winner of Generation


In these days, Japan has had many upsetting news reports. I have also felt sorry so often.

But, yesterday we got a nice report:
"A 71-year-old man from Japan has reportedly become the oldest person to climb to the summit of Mount Everest."
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/6701729.stm)

I don't know how people in the world appreciate this feat. However, it might be telling who and what a hero is.

If you have a rival you really dislike but you cannot defeat, you may want to at least live longer than he or she (of course without any criminal act involved).

You may succeed in it and you may eventually shout to yourself, "Who is the winner? I am!"

But, if you simply admire a work of the Creator which happens to be a great mountain and you can climb it, it is a great blessing. If you have such a mind and strength at age 71, you are more blessed. That must be enough for you as a matter between yourself and the God.

But, if the great mountain is Mount Everest, the highest one in the world, you can be a hero in a worldly sense, too, in your generation globally, which may be however not your concern.

A humble Japanese old man never gets proud and shouts "Who is the winner? I am!"

In his composure, we sense a tradition of 1000-years old samurai spirit, 1500-years old Buddhism practices, 2000-years old racial consciousness, and more than 10,000-years old unique spiritual development in the Japanese Archipelago.

For example, if your society now consists of 10% of extremely bad people, 20% of very bad people, 30% of bad people, and 40% of not so bad people, you would feel it should be improved.

As a result of following the teachings of Jesus Christ, if you society now consists of 1% of extremely bad people, 10% of very bad people, 20% of bad people, 30% of not so bad people, and 39% of ordinary people, you may feel it is being improved.

Each country in the world can be analyzed this way. For example, I feel that the latter case may apply to Japan.

Then, what about the U.S.? Of course, it may also correspond to the latter case for your great efforts to obey God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirits.

In addition, the winner of the Miss Universe pageant this year is reportedly a Japanese girl. But, there are many good girls in Japan who look as nice as the winner. So, I think we have 10 million "Miss Universes" in Japan nowadays.

However, the title "Miss Universe" sounds like a thin joke. No good-looking women took part in the Gospels in my interpretation. But, somewhere in the Bible, there might be a description that the world got worse when a man began to choose his wife based on how a woman looked. It almost means choosing a beautiful woman as a wife is a sin. If your faith advances, only a mind and heart matters even when you choose a wife, though it may be still a kind of sin to choose a beautiful woman as your wife. A man with a beautiful wife therefore should not be respected, even for this reason only, more than a man with a wife who does not look commercially valuable at all.

Ok, see you on the summit of Mt. Everest, which is luckily not a volcano but nowadays under an influence of global warming, someday, if the God so wishes.
