Poverty Can Address the Pandemic, Wars, Disasters, etc.

Presently in the early 21st century, the pandemic due to the corona-virus is still spreading in the world, the war in Ukraine is going on, and the global warming and other natural disasters are expanding, but there is something more dangerous for the mankind is continuing to threaten the earth. 

The Bible tells that the mankind will provoke the God for their disbelief in the God, corruption and debasement in their civilization, and inclination toward Satan's teachings.  And, the God will surely punish the mankind so that they will face the crisis of the end of the world.  But, for those who repent and follow the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus, the God will surely forgive sins of the mankind to allow them to survive.

This prophesy really depicts the current situation in the world 2,000 years after the first coming of Christ Jesus in this human world.  The focus should not be simply on the pandemic or the war but definitely on the corruption and debasement in men's civilization.  Especially, it is thought that the current pandemic, the current war, and the current natural disasters have been all triggered by corruption and debasement in men's civilization.

Put simply, almost all the mankind has revered Satan as if they revered the God.  Most members of the mankind have sold their souls to Satan so that they can get money and more money or become materially happy and happier.  Put simple, they have chosen to be materially rich and happy in this world, although Christ Jesus told a warning that rich men could not be accepted in Heaven after their death in this human world.

To become rich, keep the status with riches, and hinder others from getting their shares, people have sold their souls to Satan who have brainwashed them with the idea that men have to earn money as much as possible to satisfy their desires or to make their worldly dreams come true.  This doctrine of Stan has become a kind of global religion, so that people pursuing money and accumulating wealth have come to revere Satan as if Satan were God.

So, such people following Satan's teachings have lost the right spiritual sense needed to understand the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus and their inside souls have lost the light.  Indeed, Christ Jesus told that rich men should go to the hells after their death in this world.  Therefore, this human world filled with people who are destined to go to the hells would become as bad or tragic as possible.  Therefore, pandemics, wars, economic crises, human-induced natural disasters should occur repeatedly till the end of the world.    

Truly, human souls inside their bodies have lost light as their desires have made them blind and opted to obey Satan teaching them that they have to earn money as much as possible to have their desires satisfied.  Love, peace, justice, divinity, and truth have all become secondary matters for such people.  Such people just want money and wealth in addition to individual happiness, safety, and superiority regardless of teachings of the God and Christ Jesus, so that any ominous events would happen in the human world. 

Satan is trying to make as many people as possible pursue money and wealth so that they will fall into the hells after their death in this world.  Rich men and elites, upper class people, successful people, and happy people with big money in this world should all go to the hells and be ruled by Satan there.

But, poor people, faithful people, and people loving truth and justice should all be accepted in Heaven after their death in this world.  And, they will live happily forever in Heaven, which is the core of the teaching of Jesus Christ.

Indeed, if the majority of people in this world started to accept and follow this teaching of Christ Jesus, this world should be a place for competition to become as poor as possible so that they can enter into Heaven in the afterlife.  We have to clearly realize that there are the afterlife, Heaven, and the hells, but only poor and faithful men can be accepted in Heaven.

This is the solution to address the current crises such as the pandemic, wars, and natural disasters.  To understand the meaning and value of being poor is the key to addressing the problems in the human world.

Romans 3, King James Version

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.

"Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness" - Only Satan Should be Satisfied Seeing the World in Dismay

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

The 20th century is said to have been a century of wars, sacrificing more than 20 million people in the world in addition to scores of millions people killed by the Spanish flu and other infectious illness.  But, the 21st century might become more tragic.

The basic reason is that men want to be happy in this world to the degree where they would sacrifice others for their own happiness.  People want to become happy even if they have to neglect other unhappy people for them to become and stay happy.  This trend can be seen from the individual lives to the international relationships.  Rich men want to be further richer even if they have to sacrifice or neglect other poor men in order to increase their riches.  The notion that rich men are entitled to enjoy their lives as much as their wealth allows and poor men should naturally suffer hard situations is widely and universally taken and accepted by most of people; however, it is a teaching of Satan.  

Satan has brainwashed people with the idea that men should try to be rich as much as possible in this world, even neglecting poor people, since there is no afterlife, or even if there is the afterlife, rich men can live happily in the afterlife as much as or more than poor people.  People brainwashed with this idea have built up the world as we see today: the world with severe, cruel, and unreasonable competition for the status where men can enjoy their riches without restrictions.  Indeed, there are no countries in this world with a law that sets the upper limit on the amount of money people are allowed to earn and possess.

Based on this bad notion and misguided idea, individuals would do any immoral things to capture, keep, and increase their own personal riches; and organizations, societies, and nations would do accept and promote any immoral things to capture, keep, and increase their own material and economic success.  As a consequence, evil increases to the level where everyone should suffer materially, emotionally or spiritually, and finally, an unreasonable war should occur between any countries, since leaders of countries are brainwashed by Satan who wants to see peoples suffer.  Indeed, Satan has helped people become rich so that they will come to want to be richer by any means and finally they will pursue material wealth and economic success even if they have to launch a war to get, keep, or increase their wealth or material success or dominance.  

Put simply, the current war in Ukraine has occurred, though it does not necessarily mean that Ukrainians or Russians are especially immoral or evil.  However, even bad guys in the U.S. and other countries should despise the leaders of Russia.

So, the war between Ukraine or Russia has occurred in this material and spiritual situations in the world dominated by Satan.  It can become further worse.  In Ukraine, once a large-scale nuclear accident happened in the Chernobyl power plant.  The battles in Ukraine would trigger such an accident.  And, only Satan should be satisfied seeing the world in dismay. 

To address the war in Ukraine and other tragedies such as the current pandemic, we have to refuse the teaching of Satan, who wishes the mankind to materially prosper but spiritually suffer, and read the Bible to learn the teachings of Christ Jesus and the God.

John 3, King James Version

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things?
13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Eventual Glory of the God or Christ Jesus

According to the Gospels, the current crisis in Ukraine might lead to the second coming of Christ Jesus:

(Matthew 24)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.

Indeed, it is 21 years since the 9/11 Terror Attacks in New York and Washington D.C. in 2001.  What is more,  it is 36 years since the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, and it is a decade since the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident in 2011.  The mankind has been given enough time to repent.

The current warfare in Ukraine might involve a nuclear disaster in a few months.  And the battles might continue through the coming summer, resulting in further tragedies on civilians.  This situation will not cease to get more complicated until the current reckless regime in Moscow is suppressed and expelled.  But even after that, Chins might emerge as a more dangerous anti-democracy power in the world.  In that case, the world will not become truly peaceful until the malicious regime in Beijing is suppressed and expelled.

This world situation might continue for decades.  The world will be different from what it was at the end of the 20th century.  The world will follow the precarious path to the fatal year around 2060, as prophesized by Isaac Newton.     

Indeed, Japan has lost its economic energy such as shown in the late 20th century; China is losing its credibility and confidence in the world; and America and Europe with Russia will experience a catastrophic era toward 2060 that was predicted as the year when the end of the world would start.

In this devastating situation in the world expected to come soon, the power of Heaven will fall down to the human world, or Christ Jesus might come again to save the world.  Eventually, the mankind will be saved and see the 22nd century come in peace.  But, we have to go through a tragic period over 2060 when the mankind might see the danger of destruction of their civilization or that of the nature of the world.   

It is said that the 20th century was a century of wars.  But, the 21st century seems to be called the century of eventual glory of the God or Christ Jesus.

Luke 3, King James Version

12 Then came also publicans to be baptized, and said unto him, Master, what shall we do?
13 And he said unto them, Exact no more than that which is appointed you.
14 And the soldiers likewise demanded of him, saying, And what shall we do? And he said unto them, Do violence to no man, neither accuse any falsely; and be content with your wages.
15 And as the people were in expectation, and all men mused in their hearts of John, whether he were the Christ, or not;

"the rough ways shall be made smooth" - Now in the most Decisive Era in these 2,000 Years

A Park around Tokyo

Now in the most Decisive Era in these 2,000 Years

According to the Gospels, there shall occur sooner or later great crises on the mankind when extinction of the mankind might happen, and the era of the great crises seems to be now, the 21st century, as seen in the current pandemic and the war in Ukraine or as predicted by some notable persons in the history.    

Mark 13
24 But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,
25 And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.
26 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

As the world is proceeding to the critical year of 2060, predicted by Newton as the year when the end of the world might start, the global situations should get dangerous and more dangerous than ever.

Swedenborg, a great scholar and psychic in the 18th century, also wrote that he saw the last judgment in the spirit world in the middle of the 18th century whose effect should reach the human world a few hundreds years later.  Therefore, a great tragic event would come around the middle of the 21st century.

Put simply, we are now in this movement in the human history toward the tragic great event around 2060.

In reference to the first century,  Christ Jesus was executed on the cross in A.D. 30 and the Jewish-Roman War was set off in A.D. 66, resulting in disperse of Jewish people from Palestine and Jerusalem till the 20th century.

So, in my prediction, something devastating should happen around 2030, and the world will further accelerate its movement to the fatal 2060 when the situation of the world should change from a rather normal and relatively peaceful state to a crisis-stricken phase.  However, people in the world will repent and Christ Jesus should come to the human world again to save the world.

But, we have to pass through severe eras.  And, now 2020 is not so far before 2030.  Then, we will have to face a grave trial around 2030.  Subsequently, we will proceed the way to the dangerous era around 2060.  If we fully repent in the fatal era after 2060, the God will surely send Christ Jesus to the human world to save the mankind.  And then, the mankind will be able to enter into the 22nd century without extinction, and they might be allowed to further continue their civilization in the next centuries or the next 1000 years or more.

So, the current war in Ukraine can be seen as the beginning of a prelude to the great trial around 2030 that should be the starting point to the start of the end of the world around 2060.

In my prediction, through the critical and fatal era starting from 2060, all the advanced countries in America, Europe, including the EU and Russia, and Far East, including Japan and China, as well as developing countries in the Islamic regions should be tarnished, collapsed, or deprived of their powers.  

In summary, the mankind is now in the most decisive era in these 2,000 years since the execution of Christ Jesus on the cross and the disperse of Jewish people in the first century.  We will be able to pull through this difficult century with help from Christ Jesus eventually, but the world will not be the same as before, good or bad.

4 As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
5 Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

"they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy" - How to Address the Corona-Pandemic and the Ukraine Crisis

How to Address the Corona-Pandemic and the Ukraine Crisis

Faithful people might wonder why the God would not stop the occurrence and expansion of the corona-pandemic.  They might even wonder why the God does not interfere with the Ukraine crisis caused by the Russian military invasion.    

Indeed, 100 years ago, World War I and the Spanish flu occurred, giving a great alarm to the world entering into the era of further development of science and technology.  However, the mankind continued development of their civilization in the conventional manner despite the great alarm given by the God in the early 20th century.

So, we had better think that the God has already given a chance for repentance in these 100 years, but the mankind has not sufficiently responded to the alarm from the God and has not fully repented and improved themselves.  Therefore, we should realize that we are under the anger of the God. 

Through the current corona-pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, many people will be further victimized.  However, Christ Jesus taught that those who are poor, faithful, and righteous would be accepted in Heaven after their death in this world.  Nonetheless, there is a prophecy that there surely will happen a tragedy in the human world where living men should envy, due to their extreme pain, dead men in the future.    

The point at issue is fault and negligence of men while they were given a great warning by the God.  The mankind has greatly developed science and technology in the past century, and their material desires have also increased and expanded, abusing such science and technology.  Money has become the object of men's veneration, and people are seeking money as if they believe in a religion called Material Desire.  But, according to Christ Jesus, money is a tool of Satan.  Too many people have sold their souls to Satan to earn money and more money.  As the mankind has obtained science and technology at a dangerous level where they have become so powerful that they can destroy the human civilization, the God should start to interfere with the human world.

In other words, if the mankind really repent in the current corona-pandemic and the Ukraine crisis, the merciful God should allow the mankind to continue their civilization.  Therefore, to address the current and future crises falling on the mankind, we have to abandon material desire and belief in money.

If rich men die in these crises, they should go to the hell while being rejected from entering into Heaven.  But, only when people stop following Satan, they will come to have this right conviction.  Put simply, when people try to become poor and poorer so that they can be accepted in Heaven after their death in this world, the current and future crises would be solved.  Until people realize this truth and get conviction of Satan's traps, the God would probably leave them pursuing material desires while suffering various tragedies such as pandemics and wars.

3 Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee.
4 Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

"he entered again into the synagogue" - The Ukrainian Crisis Could be Part of the End of the World

Mt. Fuji from around Tokyo

The Ukrainian Crisis Could be Part of the End of the World

Christ Jesus once mentioned the end of the world:

Matthew 28
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

This must mean that there will be the end of the world. Otherwise, He should not have used the words "the end of the world." But, Christ Jesus said not to be troubled if we face a war.　　 

Matthew 24
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

In the past, there were many wars, but the world could continue to go on, develop, and prosper over wars.  However, now it is in the early 21st century, and we are in the era when it is no wonder if the last judgment or the end of the world should come at any time.  

By good fortune, the War on Terror that started at the beginning of the 21st century has been almost suppressed.  The tension between the U.S. and China has not yet been close to a real war.  So, although the world has been under the corona-pandemic in these years, the world has enjoyed peace and prosperity nowadays.  But, suddenly, Russia invaded Ukraine for a reason that cannot be justified by common sense.  

This war in Ukraine launched by Russia will end sooner or later, or probably before the fall of this year.  But, other wars will happen after this Ukrainian crisis in this century.  And the history should come close to the end of the world, although I believe that the mankind can survive this century of crises.

The focus is how we will conquer the coming crises or how we will be saved from the possible end of the world.  But, in the 22nd century, the mankind and the world should be drastically changed, so that the Bible would have to be revised.

Yet, the mankind will have to suffer enough in the 21st century till they are saved from the fatal end of the world.  And, this crisis in Ukraine must be part of this suffering.

3 And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

5 And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his hand was restored whole as the other.

"and which have not known the depths of Satan" - Introduce Full Democracy into China and Russia

Introduce Full Democracy into China and Russia

Russia finally invaded Ukraine today.  The Japanese Government is to follow the G7 agreement to impose economic sanctions on Russia.  The world's media are busy reporting situations in Ukraine.

This is the largest military operation by a major country since the U.S invasion into Iraq in 2003 in erroneous response to the 9/11 terror attack.  Or, 31 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russians have finally exercised their military power to secure their influential power.  However, this Russian invasion is more dangerous than various international conflicts in the last decades since the end of WWII in 1945 or the Cuban crisis in 1962 where the U.S. and the Soviet Union were close to a nuclear warfare. 

If you believe the prediction by Issac Newton, the world is now rapidly proceeding to the era of the "start of the end of the world" to be started in 2060.  Newton is an 18th-century scientist well known even today for his study in physics, but he also studied the Bible to know the mystery of the God.  And, after decades of his secret study, he concluded that the end of the world would not start before 2060, which matches the prediction in Swedenborg's book written in the 18th century about the Final Judgement of the Mankind that the Swedish psychic Swedenborg felt in the spirit world coming to the human world. 

Looking back to the days before and after the year 2000, it seems that the 20th century ended with the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, the deaths of Princess Diana and Mother Teresa in 1997, and the death of JFK Jr. in 1999 in addition to some tragedies in Japan: the great earthquake in Kobe and the sarin gas attack by a cult in Tokyo in 1995.

Then, with the 9/11 Terror Attack in 2001, the global financial crisis starting from Wall Street in 2008, and the worsened relationship since 2010s between the US and China under vulgar Trump's presidency and the undemocratic Chinese Communist Party, the 21st century is all the more accelerating its steps toward the "start of the end of the world" predicted to come around 2060.           

Put simply, the world is rapidly proceeding to the start of the end of the world around 2060 with the current and future ominous pandemics and the fatal tensions between democratic countries led by G7 and the autocratic countries such as China and Russia.  In the worst case, the next 40 years should see another global pandemic and military ventures launched by China, Russia, etc.  And, finally the end of the world should start around 2060.  As a consequence, none will be able to happily go into the 22nd century.

However, there is a Japanese psychic who was assessed as more talented than notable Uri Geller and saw the future of the mankind.  She said that people look very different 10 thousands years later from how they look today.  The history of the mankind seems to continue somehow over the 22nd century despite various crises. 

Anyway, I hope and pray that the mankind can struggle through this critical 21st century relying on their faith in Christ Jesus and the God.

The predictions by Newton and Swedenborg should be modified or recanted by introducing full democracy into China and Russia.

"he spake of the temple of his body" - Except a Man be Born of Water and of the Spirit

Except a Man be Born of Water and of the Spirit

Some Japanese psychics think that divine nature is in a human mind.  To achieve enlightenment and obtain salvation, they argue, men must think of themselves to find divinity in the bottoms of their minds.

These psychics can see some spiritual phenomena and even spirits coming from the afterlife to this world, so that they believe existence of spirits of the God, Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc.  But, as they become so proud of their spiritual ability and enjoy reputation or popularity, they sometimes put too much faith in themselves.  Put extremely, they sometimes regard themselves as peers of Christ Jesus, the Buddha, etc.  So, they believe that there is divinity in their minds and other people.  

In some cases, they finally call themselves a kind of god.  And, interestingly, after they show a tendency of acting like a god or talking like a god, they mysteriously die of some diseases or earlier than average lifetime.

Indeed, no matter how much spiritual ability one has, he is not a man coming from Heaven as long as he was born as a man in this world. 

Christ Jesus made clear the distinction between men born in this world and other men with spirits coming from Heaven:

John 3, King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

Therefor whether or not a man has spiritual power, a man born in this world must be born again through water and the holy spirit in order to be accepted in the kingdom of God and Heaven.

However, a man with spiritual ability to see spirits of deceased men and to know the future of others sometimes becomes a leader of a sect.  Indeed, the spiritual ability is not ordinary and common ability.  A man or a woman who was born with such ability or who acquired it through a near-death experience, other rare events or ascetic training would be proud of his or her ability and might establish a sect or his or her own religion.  But, Satan will surely find a chance to lead such a guru to a hell.

Satan and its evil spirits should give such men with spiritual ability an illusion of their sitting with Christ Jesus or the Buddha in the spirit world and would convince them that they deserve such a position.  They will eventually become arrogant and foolish, harming true followers of the God and Christ Jesus.  Therefore, it is reasonable that the God should interfere with fates of such men.  Any such cults or sects established by them would be suppressed and disappear in time.  Such work by Satan to delude people and give an idea of blasphemy is reported by Swedenborg in his book about the spirit world.

In this context, if a certain spirit haunting a spirit medium delivers any spiritual or religious teachings, we had better think why the strange or foreign spirit but not the spirit of Christ Jesus has come to this world though the spirit medium.  Indeed, there are many reports of such a case where a certain spirit possesses a spirit medium and delivers some spiritual or religious teachings.  If their teachings are similar to those of Christ Jesus, people around the spirit medium should all the more ask the spirit of Christ Jesus to directly come to them.             

To be followers of Christ Jesus, men have to be born again through baptism of water or the holy spirit, but they cannot become followers of Christ Jesus by listening to words of a psychic acting as a guru or some mysterious spirits through spirit mediums.  If a psychic or a spirit medium has ability to invoke a spirit in the spirit world, the spirit of Christ Jesus should be called up.     

Finally, men with spirit ability are not necessarily holy men, and spirits invoked by them from the spirit world are not necessarily as holy as the spirit of Christ Jesus.

Yet, it is regret that the Pope of the Vatican does not or cannot invoke the spirit of Christ Jesus, now in the spirit world, on every occasion when His teaching, instruction, or opinion is needed.

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

"What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?" - Only the Poor Can Understand the Teachings of Christ Jesus

 

Winter around Tokyo

Only the Poor Can Understand the Teachings of Christ Jesus

What are the conditions to be admitted as followers of Christ Jesus, even if not authorized as Christians by churches?

First, you have to be poor enough to be accepted in Heaven by the God.

Secondly, you have to be poorer than your neighbors.

Thirdly, you have to follow a teaching of Christ Jesus that you have to love the God with all of your hearts and might and then love your neighbor as much as you love yourself.

Fourthly, you have to believe another teaching of Christ Jesus that the rich cannot enter into Heaven, but the poor can.

Naturally, you have to repent of your past sinful life and abandon your  money, wealth, social status or reputation, happiness, worldly power, etc., although you may not be requested to die for Christ Jesus at any time for any reason and sacrifice yourself for others around you.  

From the beginning, happy men in this world do not need the God or Christ Jesus as Christ Jesus said, according to Luke 5:

"31 And Jesus answering said unto them, They that are whole need not a physician; but they that are sick.
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

This saying can be translated as rich, happy, or materially satisfied men do not need Christ Jesus.  Or, only faithful men enough to repent of whatever sins they think have need Christ Jesus.  But any men who have some money, while there are others who do not have as much money as they have but repent of whatever sins, must not need Christ Jesus.

In other words, evil in this world can be found in money or wealth.  If there are no poor and unhappy men in this world, there is no need for Christ Jesus to come to save the world and people.  Therefore, it is reasonable that Christ Jesus focused on "rich and poor" without mentioning "evil and good" or "unfaithful and faithful."   

Put extremely, there is no evil that is not related to money or wealth.  To be completely faithful and good, you should not have money or wealth at all like Christ Jesus had not.

However, can men follow poor priests or bishops who are poorer than any other member in their churches?  Can people like to see the Pope of the Vatican being poorer than any other human being in the world?  Can people believe that such priests or bishops, or such Pope bless them and promise happiness in the afterlife to them?  Do you like to see the Pope in the form of a beggar or a homeless standing before you and blessing you?  But, it was Christ Jesus was doing. 

To put it simply, Christ Jesus can be truly understood by poor men or the poorest men.  It is because Christ Jesus tried to save poor men, so that only poor people can truly understand love of Christ Jesus to the poor.           

In this context, Christianity is the religion for the poor, recommending everybody to be poor in this world, although they will be happy and satisfied in Heaven after death in this world.  Conversely, men have to be poor in this world to become happy and blessed in the afterlife.

Christianity must mean poverty in this world but happiness in the afterlife.  But, Satan has made people believe that there cannot be the afterlife or the hells where those who live rich in this world should go and suffer.  That is why we have to fight Satan.  In other word, finally, you have to fight Satan to be recognized as followers of Christ Jesus. 

To make it sure, the God hates the rich, since there is Satan behind them.

John 2, King James Version

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

Christ Jesus Expected Again to Suppress Evil Spirits and Satan

The Gospels clearly mention Christ Jesus fighting against evil spirits and Satan:

(Matthew 12)
22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw.
23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?
24 But when the Pharisees heard it, they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils.
25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:
26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?
27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges.
28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

So, it is clear that when Christ Jesus came to this human world 2,000 years ago, it was widely observed that evil spirits and Satan captured human minds to occupy people and make them obey to Satan. 

The belief in Christ Jesus and Christianity should be based on this notion that human beings are targeted by evil spirits and Satan who wish to penetrate in minds and bodies of human beings to eventually destroy them.  Indeed, Swedenborg, a notable 18th century psychic, wrote that many evil spirits were trying to find a chance to penetrate into a human mind to eventually destroy the human being.    

Even today, some psychics in Japan claim that they can see evil spirits around men causing physical or spiritual pains or slumps and madness in men in addition to guardian spirits for them.  They perform spiritual healings on such men and even establish new religions as founders of sects.  Indeed, there are 300 to 400 new religions in Japan today, and the number of total members of these religions account for 10% of the whole Japanese population. (Japanese Christians account for only about 1% in the Japanese population.) The founders of such new religions often display their spiritual ability to see and judge evil or good spirits possessing their members or drive evil spirits out of them.  Shintoism and Japanese Buddhism (including many sects), the two major religions in Japan, were established centering around the traditional sense of Japanese culture admitting existence of holy spirits and evil spirits (the Japanese imperial family is also based on this sense in the Japanese myth).

Eve, the knowledge about evil spirits and holy spirits, including Christ Jesus, in Christianity is sometimes introduced into creeds of those new religions in Japan, although they do not adopt or observe creeds of Christianity.            

This situation in Japan alone tells that people are aware of existence of holy and evil spirits around them in their lives.  Therefore, we had better assume that there are billions of people in the world possessed by evil spirits or Satan, although billions of faithful Christians, etc. should be protected by holy spirits or angels from evil spirits.   
For example, reverence for money and wealth is seen in every country regardless of each culture or religion.  It is a kind of global common religion.  And, according to the Bible, money and wealth are tools of Satan to brainwash men.  In this sense, human beings in the world are still under influence of Satan.

Therefore, it is reasonable to wish the second coming of Christ Jesus to the human world to suppress, clean up or drive evil spirits and Satan out of the human world.  We should expect that it will happen sooner or later in the 21st century, since 2,000 years have already passed since the birth of Christ Jesus in His first coming.

Matthew 2, King James Version

13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.
14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:
15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.
16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently inquired of the wise men.

"this shall be a sign unto you" - Be Poor as the God Requests

Be Poor as the God Requests

Satan says people to be rich, but Christ Jesus said people to be poor.

Whichever you follow, Satan or Christ Jesus, you will surely go to the spirit world after death in this material world.  The knowledge that souls of men survive physical death in this world will not change our decisions and attitudes.  But, the faith that rich men cannot be accepted in Heaven after death must be good news to poor men, since there is the teaching of Jesus Christ that the poor will be accepted in Heaven after their physical death in this world and they will be given happy life and eternal life there.

This is the core of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  But, people in the world still continue to love wealth and money despite the teachings of Christ Jesus.  There must be many people in this world who will neglect, betray, or help killing of any holy men including Christ Jesus so as to be rich.  Indeed, earning money and big money, accumulating wealth, becoming materially happy and successful, and obtaining social power as much as possible are what most of people want to achieve in this world.  But those poor and desperate in this world without hope of getting better lives while they are living in this world should console themselves through believing in the teachings of Christ Jesus.       

The difference between Heaven and the hells is liked with the difference between good and evil.  And, the difference between good and evil is linked with the difference between poor and rich.

To understand this simple truth, the mankind might need about 2,000 years since the death of Christ Jesus.

So, now must be the time to love poverty but not wealth so as to promote good over evil, so that we can be accepted in Heaven.

There are many creeds, ideologies, assertions, and theories about the teachings of Christ Jesus or Christianity.  But, in summary, we have to love the God and become poor as He requests.

"the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins" - Truth of Christianity

 

A Park around Tokyo

Truth of Christianity 

Christianity is a religion originally established to save the world by saving poor people through the teaching of Christ Jesus that poor men are welcomed in Heaven after death in this world.

From the beginning, saving the world can have a true meaning when poor men are saved, since rich men do not have a need or a request to save the world as they have been always saved in this world.  Rich men should rather want to keep the current status of the world as it is.

And, if poor men knew that there was the afterlife, the knowledge alone would not save them, since they might fall into the hells after death in this world.  The knowledge about the afterlife or the spirit alone cannot save the poor.

But, when poor men get convinced that they will be accepted and welcomed in Heaven after death in this world, they will be saved, and thus the world will be saved.

The key to this issue is that it was the Son of the God that taught poor men this truth.  Indeed, by understanding that the Son of the God assures them that poor men will enter into Heaven and obtain eternal life and happiness, poor men will be saved spiritually, no matter how much they are suffering in this world.

Rich men have been already materially and emotionally saved in this world.  So, for a holy man to save the world, he should save poor men.  Therefore, Christ Jesus, as a holy man, tried to save the world by saving the poor.

And, saving a man means saving his soul.  No matter how much wealth a man has in this world, it is useless and helpless if he cannot enter into Heaven after his death in this world.  However, no matter how poor a man is in this world, he will be saved if he is allowed to enter into Heaven and live happily forever there.     

This is Christianity.  So, every Christian has to be poor.  In other words, only through poverty one can see true meaning of the teachings of Christ Jesus and the God.

However, Satan trying to prevent this teaching of Christ Jesus is making people love wealth and money more than love to Christ Jesus and the God.  Satan falsely teaches people that rich men in this world can live rich in the afterlife, so that people do not have to be poor in this world.  Therefore, it is useless for men simply to have a knowledge that there is the afterlife and human souls live in the spirit world after death in this world.  Even Satan can brainwash people with the spiritual ability.   For rich men brainwashed by Satan, any knowledge about the spirit world or the afterlife is just another knowledge that is useless for his wealth.  But, for poor men, the knowledge that they are surely accepted in Heaven after their death in this world is really Good News.  And, Christianity is a religion to teach this truth to poor men.

Believing in this truth about the relation between poverty in this world and Heaven in the spirit world is believing in Christianity.  Other matters can be neglected by faithful and poor Christians.

Mark 2, King James Version

7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
10 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,)
11 I say unto thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house.
12 And immediately he arose, took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.

"the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground" - Many Religions but One True Teaching and One Preferable Religion

 

Tokyo

Many Religions but One True Teaching and One Preferable Religion

People know that Christ Jesus came to the human world to save the world and the mankind with love, although some are indifferent with Him or Christianity since He did not come with promise of wealth or worldly power that changed the society.

On the other hand, there are many new religions that offer promise of wealth to people and pursue political power. Some religions even advertise that their founders have spiritual or supernatural power to make people believe that they are holy. Indeed, in Japan there are about 190,000 religious corporations.  And among the religious corporations registered in and managed by the Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, 477 are related to Buddhism, 327 are Christianity related, 212 Shintoism related, and 119 others.  Although most Japanese are thought to be non-religion, the total number of members of all the religious bodies in Japan surpasses the population of Japan.  

In other words, Japanese people think that any religions that pay respect to gods or spirits and have spiritual or supernatural power should be worth respecting.  However, the concept that there is the only one God in this world and the spirit world as the sole creator of everything material and spiritual is a kind of foreign concept to the Japanese.  Even, Christ Jesus is regarded as one of gods like the Buddha in some Japanese religions.

But, what is true Christianity?  First, it tells that souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits.  Second, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells.  Thirdly, good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.  Therefore, poor and faithful men in this world should not be afraid of death but rather should be rejoiced for their promised happiness in Heaven.  This is what Christ Jesus taught people.  Therefore, everybody should try to be poor as much as possible to get eternal happy life in Heaven.  But, Satan brainwashes people to pursue worldly and material happiness that Christ Jesus did not promise.      

All the problems in the human world arise from people's unbelief in the teaching of Christ Jesus: souls of dead men go to the spirt world to continue to live as spirits, the souls of the poor and faithful are accepted in Heaven, but those of the rich and evil go to the hells, and good sprits in Heaven live forever happily, but evil spirits are eventually to be destroyed in the hells with Satan.

But, if you believe in Christ Jesus, you should surely hate Satan, worldly wealth and money, worldly success and happiness, etc.  True wealth and happiness can be only obtained in Heaven after bodily death in this world.  

From this standpoint, any religions that admit this teaching of Christ Jesus can be overlooked.  However, a religion established for fight against Satan may be preferable.

Genesis 2, King James Version

4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the Lord God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.

"he demanded of them where Christ should be born" - Soul, Take Ease, Eat and Drink, but the God should Say: "You Fool!"

                                       Imperial Holy Land Around Tokyo

Soul, Take Ease, Eat and Drink, but the God should Say: "You Fool!"

It is well known that Elizabeth Kubler-Ross and Raymond Moody studied human death to come to believe the existence of the afterlife through their own spiritual experiences.  And, Mauris Rawlings further studied reports of near-death experiences to confirm that there are hells in the afterlife. 

From the beginning, Christ Jesus assured that the poor and faithful would be welcomed in Heaven but the rich and wicked should go to the hells. 

Luke 12
16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?

Although the Gospels were written about 2,000 years ago, their teachings never lose meaning and significance even today.  There are many rich men who say to themselves, "I have accumulated much wealth for many years; I have to take my ease, eating, drinking, and being merry." So, the God should say to them, "You fool, tonight your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall your wealth be, which you have provided?" 

All through the Gospels, Christ Jesus emphasized that the God hated the rich.  And the rich hate Heaven, goodness, and love, so that they voluntarily avoid light in Heaven to hide in the hells where they can freely exercise their evil passions and perform any evil acts, although, under the rule of Satan.   

Among human beings, there are more bad men than good men.  Therefore, even among those who had near-death experiences, those saw the hells must be more than those who only saw Heaven or Heavenly light in the spirit world.  But, most of those who saw the hells should be silent on their experiences of seeing a hell, since they tried to forget about it due to fear of a hell or they were afraid of being identified as evil men.  So, only pleasant and happy feeling in near-death experiences has been reported when interviewed on their near-death experiences after enough time has passed to think carefully of their status in this world.  

But, if a rich man had a near-death experience, he should surely see a hell.

Christ Jesus came to this world to teach people that wealth in this world has no value compared with love of the God.  We should not try to get, accumulate, and store wealth in this world so as to avoid going into the hells after death in this world.

Matthew 2, King James Version

3 When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.
4 And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.
5 And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,
6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.
8 And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.
9 When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense and myrrh.
12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.

"Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod" - Fight Satan even when Touching Money

Fight Satan even when Touching Money

Christ Jesus did not work to earn money, neither asking any wages nor requesting any considerations for his spiritual work to heal the sick or the maimed, help the poor, and teaching of truth.  However, for his Disciples to buy foods, clothes, etc., He received money offered by people as gratuities or fees with a sense of gratitude for his healing, helping, or teaching.  And, Satan did not miss the chance to harm and destroy Christ Jesus in these humble monetary transactions between the band led by Christ Jesus and people.  Indeed, some Disciples, including Judas the Iscariot, betrayed the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus for getting money in no mater what circumstances they were put. 

However, Christ Jesus told to follow 100% the teaching of the God. 

Matthew 5
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Money is a tool of Satan with which it brainwashes men and for which it makes people sell their souls to Satan, since in the society under Satan's influence none can earn any money to be happy unless selling any bit of his soul to Satan.  Therefore, where money is involved, Satan can act, having influence on parties concerned.  It must apply in a similar way to Christ Jesus and His Disciples.  To get rid of Satan's influence 100%, Christ Jesus and His Disciples should have not touched any money, but they used money, too.

John 6
5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?

Although, finally Christ Jesus performed a miracle to feed people in a mountain without using money, Judas the Iscariot and other Disciples must have used money in other various occasions like ordinary people even today.  

However, without Judas the Iscariot and other Disciples, Christ Jesus must have been able to live without any money like Moses and his band in the deserts and wilderness for 40 years and Christ Jesus Himself in the wilderness for 40 days. Due to imperfect faith of His Disciples, Christ Jesus must have allowed use of money.  But, Christ Jesus was not a naive man; He understood a hell on earth.

Luke 16
9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?

 Nonetheless, Christ Jesus turned the rule by Satan to promote faith in the God.

Luke 16
13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

The Mammon is another form of Satan using money as a tool to rot and degrade people.  If you try to 100% faithfully follow the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus, you should live in wilderness without money and any materials, products, and produce that can be bought with money. However, as it is impossible, people accept any minor evil so as to earn money, following the rule of Satan.  But, Christ Jesus would not blame such poor people unless they forget the teachings of the God and Christ Jesus.

Finally all we have to do when earning necessary money for life is to assert to ourselves that we are not serving the God and the Mammon in parallel but pursing true riches by using unrighteous riches. Or otherwise, we have to fight Satan even when we are touching money.
