"thou shalt have treasure in heaven" - Worldly Riches and Heavenly Wealth


Around Tokyo

Worldly Riches and Heavenly Wealth


One's life is directed to either this world or Heaven.

To live a rich life is the most commonly observed goal of life for people.  But there are a few people who put the highest priority on living life for the purpose of entering Heaven.

For many people, to do anything including evil things so as to be rich is a matter of course.  But there are a few people who are determined to do anything good and avoid evil things so as to enter Heaven.

But most of people feel something bad when they have done something evil as to be rich.  People have to choose how much they will accept evil things or how much they will conduct evil things to earn money or secure their status in society.  It depends on how much they can neglect their conscience that tells them doing evil things is so horrible as it denies a possibility to be allowed to enter Heaven.

To our astonishment, there are even Christian priests who cannot understand what Heaven is but know how advantageous to live and work as Christian priests.  Some of them have conscience as little as common criminals.

If there is no such thing as Heaven, all the people will concentrate on efforts to live rich lives in this world, since there is nothing better than rich lives in this world.  And, all the people would do any evil things to earn money and big money.  And they will lose conscience because it is of no use for becoming rich, so that there will be no restriction on human behaviors in the end.  Those who have lost hope of becoming rich would attack, harm, and kill rich people.

But if you believe the words of Christ Jesus, you will believe that there is Heaven, and your souls will be allowed to enter Heaven when your souls depart this world after your physical bodies die.

And, Christ Jesus said that we can accumulate and have treasure in Heaven, which means we can be rich in Heaven.  But to be rich in Heave, we are not allowed accumulate wealth in this world, since such an act would invoke evil and wickedness that condition us to going to the hell.

Now the world is full of riches, products, and services.  The material civilization has reached to a very high level of success.  The world consists of various economic, political, and social systems where the notion that people should try to be rich as much as possible is taken as a matter of course.  However, there are influences from Heaven.  These systems have been built and operated so as not to pose serious challenges to human conscience.  Accordingly, there is a kind of balance between good and evil in this world.  However riches in this world can be easily seen, while treasure in Heaven cannot be seen.  People are mostly engaged in the worldly activities though their actions are somehow limited by influences of Heaven.

Put simply, you have to clearly see these two directions to live life expected by God: to worldly riches and to Heavenly wealth.

"the devils are subject unto us through thy name" - As God Wishes

Around Tokyo


As God Wishes


Allah expelled Saddam Hussein in 2003, using US President Bush and US troops.

Subsequently, Allah also expelled Gaddafi, using insurgents of Libya.  Allah also expelled Mubarak, using citizens of Egypt.

But how will Allah expel Sadat from Syria?  Or is Allah using Sadat to have Muslims immigrate into Western Europe for a special purpose?  Or is God securing Israel by preventing Islamic terrorists from occupying Syria and thus threatening security of Israel?

Indeed, what God performs looks so mysterious to our eyes.

Even, God might have used Hitler to bring complete peace in Europe through sacrifice of millions of Judaists in WWII, for otherwise tens of millions of Europeans must have been killed in another war or the Third World War.

And what does God intend to allow co-existence of Christianity and Islam, in addition to Judaism?

All we can say is just "As God wishes."

"they shall hear my voice" - Democracy for Wealth or Justice

Around Tokyo



Democracy for Wealth or Justice


There is a story about a Catholic priest and Native Americans in the 18th century.

The Catholic  priest lived among and preached in a tribe of Native Americans for 30 years.  But finally, the Native Americans decided to kill the priest in their process to fighting British settlers, and actually they killed the priest and many British settlers.  But eventually, the tribe was defeated and dispersed by British settlers or the US troops and finally forgotten to disappear from the history.  Only some records about the Catholic priest were left behind.

So, Catholicism cannot save Native Americans and other people in Africa, Asia, and Americas who have faced invasion by Europeans.  But due to activities of Catholic priests, some real states of events that happened in the process of expansion of European civilization to the world, sometimes through colonization, have been known today.

Today, there are only little colonies of Europeans in the world.  Human, social, and political rights of all the races and tribes are recognized by almost every country in the world.  In a sense, a kind of justice  has been prevailing outwardly in the world as symbolized by US President Barack Obama.

With progress of democracy, the mankind has obtained more wealth than what had been thought possible.  Even the U.S. got richer along with expansion of its democratic system covering Minorities.  Japan also drastically increased its wealth after WWII by adopting the American-style democracy.  Though China is not yet a democratic nation, it adopted market-based economy, highly influences by concepts of democracy, which has resulted in big economic growth.  Prosperous Western Europe has also put its base on democratic political systems 100% since Nazi Germany that hated Judaists collapsed in WWII.

So, the mankind has learnt that democracy is a key to expanding economy and crating huge wealth.

But democracy is also a tool to realize justice.

If the final goal of people is economic weal and they use democracy as a tool to realize the final goal, democracy cannot solve some critical problems in the human society.  If the final goal of people is justice, they will rather sacrifice economic wealth in their endeavor for justice by manipulating democracy.

However, like some tribe of Native Americans in the 18th century, some people today look like launching a tragic war against something they cannot never win, though they are given wisdom of democracy.

And it may be because they are not fully taught about the teaching of God.

"in the day of judgment" - God Created the Sun, the Earth and the Moon

Around Tokyo



God Created the Sun, the Earth and the Moon

God created this universe, the Milky Way, the solar system, and the earth where He created the mankind.

Accordingly God must have set some hint or evidence to the mankind so that they could discover that God created the earth and the universe.

One of such pieces of evidence is in the sky where the sun and the moon look the same in their sizes to the eyes of the mankind on the earth.  But the diameter of the sun is 100 times larger than earth's while the diameter of the moon is 4 times smaller than earth's.

The fact that the sun and the earth look having the same size gave great influences to the mankind.  Human religions and philosophy, since ancient or much older days, were all influenced by this outwardly balance between the moon and the sun.

However, it is thought that such a planet as the earth is rare in the universe, where its satellite and its fixed star look the same in the size.

In addition, the distance between the earth and the moons is a distance over which light travels almost in 1 second.

From the beginning, if God did not give special features to hydrogen and oxygen so that they can form water molecules, no water and no life could have been produced in this universe.

These facts all strongly suggest that this universe, the sun, the earth, and the moon were all created according to the design of God for the mankind.

"let your peace come upon it" - Simulation for Understanding the Bible

Inside a Train Vehicle around Tokyo

Simulation for Understanding the Bible


Suppose that an earth is a button with the diameter of 1 cm (a little less than a half inch) or half the diameter of a US five-cent coin.

Put the button on the home base of a ball park.  Then put a tire of a truck with the diameter of 1 meter (or 3 feet) on the wall behind the center field 118 meters (350 feet) far from the home base.

In this configuration, the half-inch button on the home base is the earth, and the 3-foot truck tire on the center-field wall is the sun.

Can you believe the button will go around the sun by power of gravitation if the mass of the tire is 330,000 times larger than that of the button.  (If the tire is made of concrete while the button weighs 1 gram, it might satisfy this condition.)

If you simply put the button and the concrete tire in the space in this configuration, the button will not circulate around the tire like the sun circulating around the sun.  As time goes by, the button will simply move to the tire and stick to it due to gravity.

For the earth to go around the sun, there must be specific past conditions where components of the earth were created while they were from the beginning going around the sun.

So, if you only read the Bible, you cannot attain real understanding of the religion and salvation of your souls.  You have to simulate how the Bible was created.

"there abide till ye go thence" - Glory of God and Prime Numbers

A Subway Station in Tokyo


Glory of God and Prime Numbers

There are many prime numbers till 10: (1), 2, 3, 5, and 7.  Almost 40 to 50% of integers till the number 10 are prime numbers.

But there are only 25 or 26 primary numbers till 100: (1), 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, and 97.  Almost 25% of integers till 100 are prime numbers.

However the number of prime numbers till 1000 is 168 (169), about 17%.

It is like growth of human beings.  When they are young children, they can only understand numbers till 10, so that they think 40 to 50% of the world consists of prime numbers or glory of God.

But as they grow up, they can see prime numbers only 25% or 17% in all the numbers they encounter or all the events they encounter.   The ratio becomes smaller and smaller when they live as adults.

So, adults forget how the world looked filled with glory of God when they were small children.

However, Christ Jesus said that men had to be like small children to enter the Heaven.

Incidentally, the number of prime numbers included from 2 to 100 million is 5,761,455, meaning 5.8%.  If you have an asset of $100 million, you can see only 10% of glory of God compared with very poor men or young children who have just 10 dollars.

"Whosoever shall put away his wife" - Presidential Candidate Debate Last Morning

Tokyo


Presidential Candidate Debate Last Morning

The important part of the debate between Hillary Clinton and Trump broadcast yesterday's morning in Japan:
CLINTON: He never apologized to Mr. and Mrs. Khan, the Gold Star family whose son, Captain Khan, died in the line of duty in Iraq. And Donald insulted and attacked them for weeks over their religion. 
He never apologized to the distinguished federal judge who was born in Indiana, but Donald said he couldn’t be trusted to be a judge because his parents were, quote, “Mexican.” 
He never apologized to the reporter that he mimicked and mocked on national television and our children were watching. And he never apologized for the racist lie that President Obama was not born in the United States of America. He owes the president an apology, he owes our country an apology, and he needs to take responsibility for his actions and his words. 
TRUMP: Well, you owe the president an apology, because as you know very well, your campaign, Sidney Blumenthal — he’s another real winner that you have — and he’s the one that got this started, along with your campaign manager, and they were on television just two weeks ago, she was, saying exactly that. So you really owe him an apology. You’re the one that sent the pictures around your campaign, sent the pictures around with President Obama in a certain garb. That was long before I was ever involved, so you actually owe an apology. 
Number two, Michelle Obama. I’ve gotten to see the commercials that they did on you. And I’ve gotten to see some of the most vicious commercials I’ve ever seen of Michelle Obama talking about you, Hillary. 
So, you talk about friend? Go back and take a look at those commercials, a race where you lost fair and square, unlike the Bernie Sanders race, where you won, but not fair and square, in my opinion. And all you have to do is take a look at WikiLeaks and just see what they say about Bernie Sanders and see what Deborah Wasserman Schultz had in mind, because Bernie Sanders, between super-delegates and Deborah Wasserman Schultz, he never had a chance. And I was so surprised to see him sign on with the devil. 
But when you talk about apology, I think the one that you should really be apologizing for and the thing that you should be apologizing for are the 33,000 e-mails that you deleted, and that you acid washed, and then the two boxes of e-mails and other things last week that were taken from an office and are now missing. 
And I’ll tell you what. I didn’t think I’d say this, but I’m going to say it, and I hate to say it. But if I win, I am going to instruct my attorney general to get a special prosecutor to look into your situation, because there has never been so many lies, so much deception. There has never been anything like it, and we’re going to have a special prosecutor. 
When I speak, I go out and speak, the people of this country are furious. In my opinion, the people that have been long-term workers at the FBI are furious. There has never been anything like this, where e-mails — and you get a subpoena, you get a subpoena, and after getting the subpoena, you delete 33,000 e-mails, and then you acid wash them or bleach them, as you would say, very expensive process. 
So we’re going to get a special prosecutor, and we’re going to look into it, because you know what? People have been — their lives have been destroyed for doing one-fifth of what you’ve done. And it’s a disgrace. And honestly, you ought to be ashamed of yourself. 
RADDATZ: Secretary Clinton, I want to follow up on that.
........ 
RADDATZ: And really, the audience needs to calm down here. 
CLINTON: … I told people that it would be impossible to be fact-checking Donald all the time. I’d never get to talk about anything I want to do and how we’re going to really make lives better for people. 
So, once again, go to HillaryClinton.com. We have literally Trump — you can fact check him in real time. Last time at the first debate, we had millions of people fact checking, so I expect we’ll have millions more fact checking, because, you know, it is — it’s just awfully good that someone with the temperament of Donald Trump is not in charge of the law in our country. 
TRUMP: Because you’d be in jail.

"shall a man leave his father and mother" - A Lesson of Prime Numbers

Tokyo

   A Lesson of Prime Numbers

There is something that cannot be foreseen but will surely happen in this world.

From a classical point of view, if one can get all the past information related to a system, he can predict future states of the system.  However, in modern physics, this belief is not sustained.  There is the law of probability in deciding occurrence of events.  So, we can only predict the future under conditions based on probability.

However, there is another way of denying determinism.

It is related to prime numbers.  When and what prime number will appear in the series of numbers (integers) cannot be predicted based on information of all the numbers preceding to the prime number.  To check if a new number is a prime number, you have to make some calculation; you cannot identify a prime number just by referring to all the numbers that precede it.

For example, if you know all the numbers from 1 to 10, such information cannot predict that 11 is a prime number.  If you know all the numbers from 1 to 100, such knowledge does not help you predict that 101 is a prime number.

In the series of integers, prime numbers suddenly appear without an omen; there are no formulas and rules that tell how prime numbers are distributed in the series of integers.

So, life may be liken to the series of integers.  People live every day, while accumulating past knowledge.  But suddenly one day they meet a situation where past knowledge is not useful to understand it.  It is a primary-number situation.

But as God created this universe and world, He also created the infinite sequence of integers.  God knows where and what prime numbers are situated in the sequence.  Accordingly, God only knows what events will appear in life of people.

In this context the mankind cannot be a ruler of the universe.  We have to be humble, because we are subject to God's wisdom that created all the prime numbers we cannot know in principle and in a practical sense.

"Moses suffered to write a bill of divorcement" - In Hopes for Three Years

Fukushima City, Japan


In Hopes for Three Years

Suppose that there are particles of the same type in a limited space.  They freely move around, so that two particles collide with each other sometimes.  But there is also a chance that three particles collide simultaneously.  

In a certain condition, according to an analysis, the probability of three particle collision is one thousandth of that of two particle collision.

For a man to behave good as taught by God, three conditions must be met: recognition of value of behaving good in principle, personal conditions for behaving good, and the will to behave good.  If any two of the three factors are realized simultaneously every day, it is only once in 1,000 days or almost three years that all these conditions are met.

So, we can only expect an ordinary man to behave good as taught by God once in three years.

Conversely, something very bad might happen once in three years in the human world due to accumulation of evil actions of people.

For example, Christ Jesus is said to have preached in almost only three years.  The worst conditions must have met at the third year of His preaching.  However, on the third day from His crucifixion, Christ Jesus resurrected.

In Japan, there is a saying that if you live even on a rock for three years, you can achieve something.

So, entertain hopes for at least three years if you are in a difficult situation.

"he gave them power against unclean spirits" - Faith in God, Fear of God



Around Tokyo

Faith in God, Fear of God

Christ Jesus said that people with faith in God were like lams in a pack of wolves.

Conversely, people without faith in God would try to abuse and harm others to satisfy their desire, which believers would never do.  And, how badly they abuse and harm others is unpredictable and limitless.  There are many hidden atrocities conducted by citizens onto others.  The human world is full of danger.

The issue is that wolves do not realize how cruel they are, so that those without faith do not realize how cruel they are to others as well as to themselves.

But God did not give intellectual and spiritual ability to the mankind so that they become intellectual and spiritual wolves.  There is a purpose for God's creating the mankind with higher ability.  But if the mankind abuses it, they must be destroyed by God.

Maybe what we need is the fear of God in this regard as well as faith in God.

Indeed, who can stand before anger of God that the mankind is incurring due to their betrayal of God in this context?

"but by prayer and fasting" - Prayer to God to be Free From Ill Spirits

Around Tokyo

Prayer to God to be Free From Ill Spirits

If nobody wants to be richer than others, there will be no crimes.

But there is another factor for evil deeds and crimes, ill spirits or Satan.  In the era when Christ Jesus was living, people believed existence of ill spirits and Satan.  They thought that if a person was haunted by an ill spirit or Satan, he or she would have acted like a mad or evil man or woman.

To cope with ill spirits or Satan, people have to always try to follow teaching of God, according to Christ Jesus.  Without receiving a decisive influence from an external world, minds of people can be captured by an ill spirit.  Bur today, commercialism is sending messages and images via TV broadcasting and the Internet that are intended to invoke and amplify material desire among the audience and consumers who will consequently have less resistance to influences of ill spirits and Satan.

Today, there must be more people, than we suppose, who are under influence of ill spirits and Satan.  Accordingly, tens of millions of people are neglected while they are suffering hardships and tragic fates, and news about such people in Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, etc. are reaching all over the world.   So, in this modern era, people who are controlled by ill spirits are not simply acting like mad men, but working coolly and rationally in Wall Street businesses, companies in the financial sectors in advanced countries, and big businesses all over the world.  However, on the other hand, tens of millions of people in some parts of the world are living very dangerous life.

So, people under control of ill spirits and Satan must look just ordinary people with some wealth.  They may not be violent at all in their behaviors.  They may look like observing laws and rules.  They must be living like normal citizens.   But they neglect tens of millions of poor people in the world while they know the fact.

We had better doubt common sense.  The society in which we live must be controlled by wealthy people, politicians, other elite members of the society who behave like honest men but actually whose minds are controlled by ill spirits and Satan.

Even Islam teaches that for Muslims to get free from ill spirits, they have to pray to Allah at least five times a day.

We need incessant prayer to Christ Jesus and God to be completely free from ill spirits and Satan.

"he took Peter and John and James" - Christ Jesus and the Gospels

Around Tokyo


Christ Jesus and the Gospels

Christ Jesus did not order His disciples to write down His words and His actions for future generations.

Christ Jesus sometimes referred to the Old Testament, which means that He might think about a possibility that His words and deeds would be someday compiled in another Testament.  But He never made any efforts to keep His life in record.

It is in clear distinction from the case of Islam where the Koran has played an essential role.

So, it is enigma about Christianity: How Christ Jesus regards the New Testament, and especially the Gospels.

So, we have to judge whether or not the Gospels were written through guidance of the spirit of Christ Jesus.

"Thou son of David" - Meaning of Believing in Christ Jesus

The Tokyo Station

Meaning of Believing in Christ Jesus

Christ Jesus apparently thought that life after death was real.  So, believing in Christ Jesus means believing in life after death.

But life after death is either in Heaven or the hell according to Christ Jesus.  So, believing in Christ Jesus means understanding how to be allowed to enter the Heaven.

Accordingly, if you truly believe in Christ Jesus, you will have no fear for death, at least, in principle.

But what is the spiritual world that must exist above this material world?  Probably to make us concentrate on life in this world, Christ Jesus did not reveal specifically the real state of the spiritual world.

What is more important is believing in Christ Jesus means believing existence of God.

So, believing in Christ Jesus itself is salvation of our souls.

"And the spirit cried" - Descendants of Abraham from a Stone

Descendants of Abraham from a Stone

Christ Jesus said that God can even make descendants of Abraham from a stone.

Due to this word, Judaists have lost their special positions, though they have been still descendants of Abraham.  And, indeed, Arabs have claimed that they are also descendants of Abraham.

God also made Obama the first African American.  He could make a US President from a son of a modern African.

Then he must be able to make a US President from a woman, if He so wishes.  Or will He make a US President from an indecent billionaire?

Whichever, if God intervenes in the 2026 US Presidential election, people must learn a holy lesson.

It is not because there is zero that 1, 2, 3. and other numbers exit.

"all things are possible" - The Finite is Generated from the Infinite



Tokyo

The Finite is Generated from the Infinite

The life is finite.  But people live without being harassed by the concept of the finite.

It is said that animals live as if they could live forever since they do not understand the meaning of death.  However, human beings know that someday the end of life happens to each of them.  Their lives are finite.  But human beings are also living as if they could live forever.

This is a different matter from that about whether one believes existence of life after death.  It is a matter that human beings feel there is something that is infinite.

It is the basic law that everything finite is generated from the infinite.  Everything finite is part of something infinite.  Life of a man is finite, but God is infinite.  Life of everyone, which is finite, must be part of the infinity of God.  Accordingly, none get panicked to think that his life is finite, since his life is part of the infinity of God.

People do not clearly think such a thing.  But they must unconsciously feel that they are part of the infinity, so that they feel a kind of confidence about their existence.

If there is nothing that is infinite in this universe, the mankind should get depressed as if they were put in a cage.

There is a great gap between the mankind and the God, which is infinity.  Materially human beings are finite, but spiritually they can be close to God's infinity.

Anyway, the finite is generated from the infinite.  Human beings are generated by God.

"John the Baptist; but some say, Elias" - God and Human Civilization

National Diet Bldg., Tokyo


God and Human Civilization


It is very strange that God has not directly spoken to any men since He gave His words to Muhammad 1,400 years ago.

Or it is very strange that there have been none who have received words of God in these 1,400 years.  Of course, it might be stranger that God has not sent His Son again in these 2,000 years, though Christ Jesus said that He would be back to this world at the time when the end of the world is near.

But it is more disappointing that the mankind has not fully discovered what God is in these 1,400 years or 2,000 years, though Judaists seems to have believed that God is their God and that is enough for them for these 4,000 years.

People have various objects in their lives.  To achieve them, the mankind, as a mass of people, has developed various cultures and civilizations.  The mankind has acquired various knowledge about the nature and technologies to manipulate products of the nature to make itself happy, if not for compering with God.

However, if the ultimate goal of human activities in various fields is to make individuals happy, people should follow the teachings of God, since God loves the mankind.  Conversely, the fact that the mankind has developed material civilization more than relying on the teaching of God might mean something horrible.  The mankind might be challenging God.

It is Satan who is challenging God, according to the teaching of God.  Then, Satan should help the mankind develop material civilization.  In this context, we cannot expect nothing wonderful in the future of the mankind with extremely developed civilization.  God will surely destroy Satan and the human material civilization that is supported by Satan.

Finally, no matter how happily a man lives and dies, it is God how to treat his or her soul after death.  Human science and technology, as well as wealth, are useless in the end for any human beings.

Luk 9:19 They answering said, John the Baptist; but some say, Elias; and others say, that one of the old prophets is risen again.
Luk 9:20 He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God.
Luk 9:21 And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing;

"he had been blind, and received his sight" - 150 Million Foreign Workers

150 Million Foreign Workers

There are globally 150 million people who are working in foreign countries.  In the US, there are 37 million foreign workers.  Those workers send money to families in their home countries.
A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to an individual in his or her home country. Money sent home by migrants competes with international aid as one of the largest financial inflows to developing countries. Workers' remittances are a significant part of international capital flows, especially with regard to labour-exporting countries.[1] In 2014, $436 billion went to developing countries, setting a new record. Overall global remittances also totaled $583 billion.[2] Some countries, such as India and China, receive tens of billions of US dollars in remittances each year from their expatriates. In 2014, India received an estimated $70 billion and China an estimated $64 billion.
Christ Jesus told 2000 years ago to be kind to foreigners since ancestors of Judaists had been once foreign workers in foreign countries.

However, the fact that India and China are top two countries in terms of the amount of remittances suggest that the world is not developing in a sound manner.  The global economy is making rich Hindus and Chinese richer but making poor Hindus and Chinese leave their home countries to work in foreign countries.

Anyway, those working in foreign countries should need help from God more than those working in their own countries.  That must be why Judaists have never abandoned their religion since they had been expelled from Palestine about 1900 years ago.

Joh 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
Joh 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
Joh 9:20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
