"being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children" - The Crises in the Scale Once in 2,000 Years to Come Soon

 

The Crises in the Scale Once in 2,000 Years to Come Soon

Since the middle of the 19th century, Virgin Mary started to give warnings on decisive punishment to be given by the God on people who had sold their souls to Satan so as to earn money and acquire wealth.  At the same period, the so-called spiritualism movement started to diffuse in the U.S., England, France, etc. and even in Japan, although it was in the 18th century that the great Swedish psychic Swedenborg wrote many books about his spiritual experiences.

Virgin Mary appeared in the apparitions in La Salette, France in 1846; Lourde, France in 1858; Fatima, Portugal in 1917; Garabandal, Spain in 1961 to 1965; Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1981 to date, etc. and even in Akita, Japan in 1973.

Virgin Mary had also often appeared to encourage people to have faith before the middle of the 19th century, but it seems to be after the middle of the 19th century that She started to deliver specific warnings about coming punishment on the mankind from the God.  According to her warnings, the end of the time is coming so close.   

It should be also noted that the 18th century great scientist Isaac Newton found after his diligent study of the Bible that the end of the world should start after 2060.  Swedenborg wrote that he had met with Newton in the spirit world to find that Newton had been a faithful man.  Swedenborg also wrote that he had seen the last judgement being executed in the spirit world and he thought that the effect of the last judgement in the spirit world should be seen in the human world two to three centuries later. 

Therefore, everything points to this era, the early 21st century as the period of the prelude to the decisive punishment by the God on the mankind.  The time of "the end of the time" in the Virgin Mary's warnings seems to mean the period after WWI through WWII to WWIII but not the time of the human history.  The God would not wipe out the mankind; instead He would stop material prosperity the mankind has been enjoying since the start of the Industrial Revolution launched in the 18th century in England. 

While development of science and technology was further spreading through Europe and America after the 19th century, Virgin Mary started to give warnings to the mankind through visionaries who were mostly children and teenagers, and the spiritualism movement was intensified and promoted by psychics and interested learned people.  

Indeed, as Virgin Mary predicted, WWI occurred in 1914; WWII occurred in 1939; and WWIII is now expected to start in the early 21st century or in 2020s at the earliest.  The current war between Ukraine and Russia might lead to WWIII. 

From the historical view, it had been 2,000 years from Abraham to Christ Jesus, and it was 2,000 years from Christ Jesus to the present days.  There is no wonder that Christ Jesus comes to this world again. 

Before Abraham, the Great Pyramids in Gaza were built around 26the century BC; the Creation of the universe was started in 3,760 BC  according to the Jewish calendar, and the Sumerian civilization was established around 4,000 BC.  It is thought that Abraham came from the Sumerian city of Ur.

So, when the Sumerian civilization collapsed around 2,000 BC, Abraham appeared.  When the Jewish kingdom around Jerusalem collapsed around A.D 1st century, Christ Jesus appeared.  Then, when this modern material civilization is going to collapse through WWIII, the climate change, environmental pollutions, etc. around the 21st century, there is no wonder that Christ Jesus comes to this world again.        

It means that the mankind is facing the big tragedy in the scale of 2,000 years in this century due to their unbelief.  It can be understood the reason why Virgin Mary has been delivering warnings on it since the 19th century.  But, as the Bible reads, if we repent and come back to the God, we will be saved.  Virgin Mary has said to pray more so that less people would fall into the hells and the God might make small the extent of the damage in the coming tragedy. 

However, it looks that too many people have sold their souls to Satan to earn money and accumulate wealth so as to be materially happy.  We have to stop it.  We have to try to become poor as much as possible or love poverty as the God and Christ Jesus do.  Then, we may get rid of Satan's traps.  No matter how crazy, it sounds, this is the surest solution for our civilization to be allowed to continue into the 22nd century onwards.

Anyway, we had better get prepared for crises in the scale once in 2,000 years to come soon.

Matthew 7, King James Version

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

"he was worthy for whom he should do this" - Secret of Prayer to the God

                                                 A Shrine around Tokyo

Secret of Prayer to the God

A Japanese medical doctor who died at the age of 105 in 2008 found power of prayer through his study of spiritualism.

He found that it is useless that a man prays to the God, wishing his dream to come true.   When a man prays to the God, he has to believe that his dream has already come true.

Indeed, Christ Jesus said:

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

A Japanese inventor who died at the age of 86 in 2002 also fund power of prayer through his study of spiritualism.

He found that when a man forgets about the content of his wish for which he prayed to the God, it can come true. 

Indeed, Christ Jesus said:

36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. (Mark 14)

Therefore, when we pray to the God wishing our dream to come true, we have to believe that the God has already realized it.  But, the God should realize only what He approves because He knows what a man needs.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. (Matthew 6)

In this context, we have to pray to the God, wishing for peace in Ukraine, but we have to think that peace has been already realized  in Ukraine and forget about the war.  If the God thinks that the mankind need peace in Ukraine, peace should be realized there.

However, if the war in Ukraine belongs to some mysterious scheme of God, the war should proceed as He wishes despite our prayers.  

Anyway, if a man who has already sold his soul to Satan prays to the God wishing for anything, the God should not listen to him.  And, it is likely that a majority of people have already sold their souls to Satan even before the start of the war in Ukraine.

Luke 7, King James Version

7 Now when he had ended all his sayings in the audience of the people, he entered into Capernaum.
2 And a certain centurion's servant, who was dear unto him, was sick, and ready to die.
3 And when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal his servant.
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue.

"Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink" - Fatima through Medjugorje to Ukraine; Garabandal through Lourdes to Ukraine

 

Around Tokyo

Fatima through Medjugorje to Ukraine; Garabandal through Lourdes to Ukraine 

The most important apparition of Virgin Mary should be Her apparition in Fatima, Portugal, 1917 where She delivered warnings on WWII and WWIII.

The next one should be Her apparition in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, since 1981 to date.

But, this series of Marian apparitions where Virgin Mary gave warnings on coming tragedies of the mankind expected to occur in the 21st century began in La Salette, France, in 1846 and continued over the miracle in Lourdes, France, in 1858.  One example of apparitions where visionaries looking at Virgin Mary were taken into video films is that in Garabandl, Spain, around 1961.  

But, how did Virgin Mary or Christ Jesus decide the places for apparitions?  Probably, it should depend on local situations where faithful children could be seen.  But, when we draw straight lines through these places, we may find other reasons.

The line starting from Garabandal to Lourdes and La Salette reaches the east part of Ukraine; the line starting from Fatima through Medjugorje reaches the immediately north of the Crimean Peninsula, Ukraine, as seen in the above map.

So, we should conclude that the warnings by Virgin Mary are related to the current war in Ukraine and even Russia's occupation of the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.

If the Russia-Ukraine war continues long, it can trigger WWIII between democratic countries and autocratic countries.  Russia will not be able to occupy Ukraine as long as NATO countries supply military equipment and ammunitions to Ukraine, so that Russia might expand the battle fields to neighboring countries of Ukraine to stop supply of weapons to Ukraine.  However, nuclear weapons will not be first used by Russia.  Probably this phase of expansion of the Russia-Ukraine war might be seen from 2022 to 2027.  

When Russia finally realizes that it cannot defeat Ukraine and NATO countries, it may accept defeat and Russian people might introduce fully democratic government.

But, meanwhile, China might try to expand its territory to Taiwan and beyond.  It might be the second Vietnam War for the U.S.  And, it might take a decade till China will finally accept defeat and its people will rise to introduce democratic government.

These processes will be included in WWIII.  Based on historical lessons, democratic countries will prevail.  But, the autocratic countries such as Russia, China, etc. might use nuclear weapons at the last phase of WWIII desperately.      

The mankind will have to face final wars, which should be called WWIII.  But, after WWIII, democracy will prevail in the world.  Russia and China will become fully democratic countries.  And, true peace will come on the earth.  The human civilization will further continue and develop into the 22nd century and more.

However, to avoid total nuclear warfare in WWIII, we have to pray to the God.  For this reason, we have to humbly listen to Virgin Mary and learn Her warnings.

Matthew 6, King James Version

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man 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.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

"for, behold, your reward is great in heaven" - Poor Men to Become Rich and Happy in Heaven

Poor Men to Become Rich and Happy in Heaven

One of the most impressive teachings of Christ Jesus is as follows:

Matthew 5, King James Version

5 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. 

However, this teachings is related to the state in Heaven of those blessed by the God. 

But, what does the expression "Blessed are the poor in spirit" mean?  It seems that regardless of whether a man is materially poor or rich, if he is poor in spirit, he is allowed to enter Heaven.

But, poor men whose spirits have been enriched by their faith and love to the God should be no more poor in spirit.  And, rich men whose spirits have become poor due to their selfish love and negligence of poor people should be poor in spirit.  But, the former cannot enter Heaven while the latter can, which is insane.  

Therefore, the expression "Blessed are the poor in spirit" should be simply "Blessed are the poor." 

From the beginning, Christ Jesus came to this world in order to save the poor but not the rich.  He taught truth, especially spiritual truth, mainly to the poor who could not read and write or who were too poor to have any means and time to learn religious truth.  So then, how would Christ Jesus use an expression that was so difficult that even today many scholars and religious experts are discussing and arguing about its true meaning?  His teaching to poor and unlearnt people of 2,000 years ago should be more simple like "Blessed are the poor."    

To show His love to the poor, Christ Jesus must have said, "Blessed are the poor."  But, who changed this expression?  Satan must have done it to confuse the followers of Christ Jesus.  Satan could not abolish Christianity, its churches, and its teachings, but it must have sneaked into editing, compiling, translation, etc. of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  And, this strange and difficult phrase must be an example of Satan's interference.  

Yet, when a man becomes poor, his mind sometimes becomes poor for he cannot show respectable manners and polite behaviors.  He cannot nurture a rich spirit due to poverty.  In this sense, poor men are the poor in spirit.  Nonetheless, a rich man who is selfish, lacks love to neighbors, becomes arrogant, and neglects the teachings of Christ Jesus and the God has a narrow and cruel mind that must look poor, but his mind is in fact rich with effects of enjoying many books of various fields such as religion and literatue, artifacts, entertainments, etc.  Therefore, a materially rich man whose spirit is poor is rare, since their minds are in full of luxuries.  

  

With this kind of interference by Satan, some people think that being materially poor is not a condition for entering Heaven.  They try to believe that rich men can also enter Heaven.

But, to be rich and keep wealth, men have to neglect the poor around them and accept any necessary evil, so that gradually they will accept any evil and make the poor suffer more.  Indeed, it cannot be possible that Christ Jesus accept rich men in Heaven even if he allows poor camels to enter Heaven.

The love to the poor is the essential part of the teachings of Christ Jesus.  The most critical condition for following Christ Jesus is to have love to the poor.  In this context, loving poverty is the key to understanding Christ Jesus.

Put simply, Heaven is full of poor men, and there must be no room for rich men.  Therefore, we have to become poor as much as possible while living in this world.  Christianity is a religion for poor men who are promised to become rich and happy in Heaven.

Love poverty and enter Heaven!

20 And he lifted up his eyes on his disciples, and said, Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God.
21 Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shall be filled. Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
22 Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.
23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets.

"where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" - Paris, Rome, Turin, Fatima, Lourdes, and Garabandal, All Connected

Paris, Rome, Turin, Fatima, Lourdes, and Garabandal, All Connected

Rome is the center of religion in Europe as the Vatican is located there.  Paris is the center of culture in Europe as the Notre Dame Cathedral is located there.

However, Turin is more important as there is the holy shroud with the image of Christ Jesus on it.  Or, Fatima is also more important as Virgin Mary appeared there to give warning to the mankind.  In addition, Lourdes is also more important as Virgin Mary caused a miracle to heal people.  Furthermore, Garabandal is notable for Marian apparitions like those in Medjugorje, the state of whose visionaries was recorded in videos. 

These locations can be connected through red lines in the Marian apparition map as below. 

Turin is on the line connecting Paris and Rome.

Garabandal is on the line connecting Paris and Fatima.

Lourdes is on the line connecting Fatima and Turin and the line connecting Rome and Garabandal.  

In this context, the 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral is symbolic for the fate of Europe, since the corona-pandemic and the Ukraine war began after 2019.  These tragedies are related to the warning delivered in Fatima or Garabandal.  It is also notable that Virgin Mary specifically mentioned Russia in her warnings in Fatima.

Visionaries in Garabandal were told by Virgin Mary that there would be a great warning that would be seen by everybody before occurrence of a great miracle or tragedy.  The 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris seems to match this prophesy as a great miracle, although the date of the miracle is still in mystery.  

Europe is based on Christianity, and Christianity is mainly based on miracles.  Lourdes is the place notable for its healing waters given by Virgin Mary.  The apparitions of Virgin Mary in Garabandal is also notable for the prophecy on the Great Warning and Miracle.  Fatima is well known for the prophecy of WWI, WWII, and probably WWIII.  The shroud of Turin is so important as the Gospels, since it shows the image of Christ Jesus.  And, they are all connected through the above red lines.

Put simply, the 2019 fire of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris is a warning of coming of a great disaster like WWIII in Europe.  And, this WWIII might be triggered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  The Vatican and Christianity should be gravely influenced by WWIII.

Indeed, the 21st century will be a decisive century for the mankind like the 1st century.  We had better pray to the God so as to send Christ Jesus again to the human world and save the civilization from coming WWIII.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 No man 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.

"Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of God" - The Lines Connecting the Major Marian Apparitions

 

The Lines Connecting the Major Marian Apparitions

The key places of Marian apparitions in these centuries have been connected as seen below with red lines, although these lines are somewhat rough.

(https://www.206tours.com/map/)

These lines are concentrated to Fatima:

The 1st Line: Fatima => Garabandal => Paris 

The 2nd line: Fatima => Lourdes => La Salette => Turin

The 3rd line: Fatima => Assisi => Medjugorje

The Marian apparitions in Fatima began in 1917; it began in Garabandal in 1961; and it began in Rue du Bac, Paris, in 1830.  

The Marian apparitions in Lourdes began in 1858; it began in La Salette in 1846; and the Shroud of Turin has been well known since 1578.

Assisi is famous for Francis of Assisi (1182 - 1226) who is one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity; and the Marian apparitions in Medjugorje started in 1981 and has continued to date.  

But, the center of this network should be Turin, Italy, with the holy shroud is placed, since the image of Christ Jesus is on the shroud of Turin. 

In summary, the present crises in the world should be regarded as manifestation of warnings of Virgin Mary in recent centuries that were started in La Salette in 1846.  

However, it should be also noted that, in 2019, while Notre-Dame of Paris was undergoing renovation, its roof caught fire and burned, which must be a warning to the current war in Ukraine.  And, the incumbent Pope is named in honor of Francis of Assisi, and he has been the head of the Vatican since 2013, a year before Russian invasion of the the Crimean Peninsula of Ukraine.　

Paris is the center of Europe or the E.U.  Its symbol is the Notre-Dame cathedral.  But it was burnt in 2019 just before the corona pandemic and the Ukraine war.  And, the current Pope is called Francis as he honors Saint Francis of Assisi.  Indeed, this network of Marian apparitions implies the current situations in the world.

Put simply, these lines connecting the major recent Marian apparitions and the key places for Christianity must be related to the fate of Europe, the Vatican, and the Christian communities.

Therefore, the prophesies issued by Virgin Mary in Fatima should be checked again, since She specifically named Russia in Her warnings in Fatima.  It should be furthermore related to the Third World War.

"his disciples went down unto the sea" - G7 Countries, Russia, China, etc. Would Engage in Coming WWII

 

                                                    Tokyo

G7 Countries, Russia, China, etc. Would Engage in Coming WWIII

In the 20th century, Virgin Mary appeared in the human world sometimes specifically in Fatima, Portugal, in 1917; in Garabandal, Spain, from 1961 to 1965; and in Medjugorje, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from 1981 to present days. 

It was at the last phase of WWI when the apparitions occurred in Fatima.  And, WWI was ended soon after the apparitions and WWII began as predicted by Virgin Mary.

It was on October 18, 1961 that the first apparition occurred in in Garabandal, which was four days after the Cuban Crisis started with a possibility of leading to nuclear warfare between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.  

But, it was a month after Pope John Paul II was shot and wounded in 1981 that the first apparition occurred in Medjugorje.  Virgin Mary has continued to appear to visionaries of Medjugorje through the rest of the 20th century to date during which Lucia, a visionary in Fatima, and Pope John Paul II died in 2005 with Fatima's secret still mysterious behind.

The pictures of the Fatima's visionaries Lucia, Francis and Jacinta, aged from 10 to 7, shows their fear and sadness as they were shown the state of the hells by Virgin Mary and they were suspected of telling lies by the police and other adults putting them under death threats.  

(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima)

But, four young schoolgirls in Garabandal, aged around 12,  showed raptures in their pictures taken while they were seeing a vision of Virgin Mary and infant Jesus. 

(https://www.homeofthemother.org/en/magazine/selected-articles/spiritual-life/4933-garabandal)

Furthermore, the visionaries in Medjugorje, aged between 10 to 16 at the time of the first apparition there, looked rather significant and interrogative.

(https://www.medjugorjehotelspa.com/en/history-of-medjugorje-the-first-apparitions/)

The content of messages of Virgin Mary to those visionaries is consistent: the warning to coming disaster on the mankind due to their lack in faith.  "As the mankind have been so rotten and debased, the God will punish them.  To avoid it and appease the God, Virgin Mary requested the mankind to pray more to the God, Christ Jesus, and Virgin Mary," said Virgin Mary.

It is also interesting that a visionary in Medjugorje said that Virgin Mary had once told her that Satan once came to the God and asked Him to give it Medjugorje, then Satan would give up the rest of the world, but the God firmly rejected it.  

We cannot think that these young people have told lies or seen similar phantoms.  If we think that they have been telling lies, we may as well think that the Gospels are telling lies about the God and Christ Jesus. 

Therefore, the only conclusion we may draw is the World War Three is coming soon, since Virgin Mary started to deliver warnings in 1917, continued it through early 1960's and intensified the warning since 1981 to date.  It is also interesting that Virgin Mary shows a sense of caution to Russia when we see the current war in Ukraine caused by Russian invasion.

Furthermore, in an apparition in La Salette, France, 1846, Virgin Mary gave a prediction to two children that 10 kings of the world would launch the final war.  It might mean that the G7 countries, Russia, China, etc. would engage in coming WWIII.   

Although most of people cannot see Virgin Mary in air, all the visionaries said that She was noble and beautiful.

John 6, King James Version

15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.

16 And when even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,

17 And entered into a ship, and went over the sea toward Capernaum. And it was now dark, and Jesus was not come to them.

18 And the sea arose by reason of a great wind that blew.

19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh unto the ship: and they were afraid.

20 But he saith unto them, It is I; be not afraid.

21 Then they willingly received him into the ship: and immediately the ship was at the land whither they went.

"That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him" - Fatima's Children in 1917

 

Fatima's Children in 1917

Apparitions of Virgin Mary have been reported in these 2,000 years, but the most famous one is the apparition of Mary in Fatima in 1917.

Our Lady of Fátima is a Catholic title of Mary, mother of God based on the Marian apparitions reported in 1917 by three shepherd children at the Cova da Iria in Fátima, Portugal. The three children were Lúcia dos Santos and her cousins Francisco and Jacinta Marto. The bishop of Leiria, José Alves Correia da Silva, declared the events worthy of belief on 13 October 1930.
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima)

There are photographs of Lucia (10), Francisco (9), and Jacinta (7) taken in Fatima at the time.

 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Lady_of_F%C3%A1tima)

They look so gloomy with sadness and anger inside.  But, if you read a report on Fatima by Lucia, it can be understood.  These children were intimidated by the police and other adults around.  They were accused of telling lies.  They were told that they would be killed if they did not tell the truth, since the police and other adults did not believe that they had seen Virgin Mary.   

Therefore, these children aged between 7 and 10 years were under threat of death from infidels.  It is no wonder that they look so gloomy, standing before a cameraman.  This picture is of children under death threat rather than of children who were under the blessing of seeing Virgin Mary.

But they did not seem to be afraid of death.  Rather, they looked like wishing to go to Heaven as soon as possible, according to Lucia's report:

Then Our Lady spoke to us: “Do not be afraid. I will do you no harm.” “Where are you from?” “I am from Heaven.” “What do you want from me?” “I have come to ask you to come here for six months in succession, on the 13th day, at this same hour. Later on, I will tell you who I am and what I want. Afterwards, I will return here yet a seventh time.” “Shall I go to Heaven too?” “Yes, you will.” “And Jacinta?” “She will go also.” “And Francisco?” “He will go there too, but he must say many Rosaries.”

Remarkably, the three children immediately believed that the woman (Virgin Mary) who appeared before them in air was from Heaven with heavenly power.  But, Francisco and Jacinta died so soon, a few years after the apparition.  Yet, Lucia died in 2005 when Poe Jon Paul II died, leaving some controversies on secrets or prophecies of Fatima.

Indeed, this picture shows sadness and astonishment of Jacinta and Lucia after Virgin Mary showed them the state of the hells.

We should take seriously these apparitions of Virgin Mary, sine She seems to want to save the mankind from the hells.  Probably many people would fall into the hells in the coming World War Three.

Mark 6, King James Version

14 And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
15 Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod, It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
20 For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

Followers of Christ Jesus can Heal the Sick and Drive Out Satan

Christ Jesus could heal the sick and drive out evil spirits from men.  In addition, He gave this power and authority to His disciples.  Subsequently, His teaching has been preached globally, leading to establishment of a religion called Christianity.  Therefore, we might be allowed to expect that leaders of Christianity has still kept this power and authority:  

Luke 9
9 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.

Therefore, if people ran to churches to be saved from the corona pandemic, there should be no wonder.  If leaders of churches in the world came to war-damaged places like Ukraine to save people, there should be no wonder.  But, in reality, such phenomena have never happened.  The pope in the street of New York or Shanghai?  The Cardinals in towns in Ukraine?  No shadows of the Pope or the Cardinals are now seen there to our disappointment.     

Now, six million people have died globally due to the corona-virus, and six million people have fled from Ukraine due to the Russian invasion.  Christ Jesus, if He was still in the human world, should have sent His disciples, such as the pope and the Cardinals, to the coronavirus or war-damaged places such as New York or Shanghai, or Ukraine.     

So, I want to recommend sick people suffering due to the corona-virus or its after-effects to pray to the God or Christ Jesus with the Bible in their hands.  I want to recommend Ukrainian people suffering due to the Russian military invasion to pray to the God or Christ Jesus with the Bible in their hands.  Or, they might as well pray to Virgin Mary, since She has been giving a warning of Russian evil forces in Her apparitions in Europe in these decades.   

According to the Gospels and the words of Christ Jesus, souls of men will surely enter into the spirit world after death in this world and continue to live as spirits.

Especially, the souls of poor men are accepted in Heaven after death in this world to live there forever happily.  This is really a piece of good news.  Therefore, poor people don't have to be afraid of the corona-virus or the Russian military invasion.  Indeed, there must be no diseases or damage from war in the spirit world or Heaven.

Luke 6, King James Version

9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
10 And looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.
12 And it came to pass in those days, that he went out into a mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.
13 And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;
14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter,) and Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew,
15 Matthew and Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called Zelotes,
16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor.

"Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost" - The Issue More Important than the Problem of Life and Death

The Issue More Important than the Problem of Life and Death

The Bible mentions the change in the state of a human body as follows:

1 Corinthians 15
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

This argument deals with the most important issue for a man, namely his death and afterlife.  Men might wonder if there is really the afterlife or the land of the dead.  The answer is clearly Yes, which should be accepted by all the followers of Christ Jesus. 

The soul of a man continues to live over his death in this world as a spirit in the spirit world called the afterlife or the land of the dead.  But he will have no more a natural body but a spiritual body.

So, it is a surprise that there are still many people in this world who wonder whether there is the afterlife or the land of the dead.  Indeed, every elementary school should teach children that they do not have to be afraid of death since there is the afterlife.

But, there is another most important issue: good or evil.  This issue is also the most important thing in the afterlife as well as in this world, since a man is destined to go to Heaven or the hell depending on his being good or evil.  Good ones go to Heaven and evil ones go to the hells. 

But how can a man be judged to be good or evil?  The judgment adopted by Christ Jesus is based on whether one is poor or rich, so that poor men can be accepted in Heaven while rich men fall into the hells.   

Anyway, we should worry about whether we are poor enough or sinfully rich.  We should no more worry about whether there is the afterlife or not.  Indeed, every respectable religion teaches not only existence of the afterlife but also a need to be good.  Truly emphasis should be laid on a need to be good in the afterlife as well as in this world.

But, those who were poor while living in this world would be accepted in Heaven as faithful and good ones so as to be able to live happy forever in Heaven.  Yet, those who are not truly faithful and good even if they happened to die as poor men in this world must not be able to stay in Heaven even if they are once accepted in Heaven.

Therefore, there are only the two types of men: those poor and thus good to be accepted in Heaven and others evil and rich to fall into the hells.  Christ Jesus never told people to become rich so as to be saved, since rich men cannot be ultimately accepted in Heaven. 

However, as this world is still ruled by Satan, almost everybody reveres Satan as a god who teaches him that he has to earn money no matter what evil things he has to do.  Those who were brainwashed by Satan and cannot get rid of the brainwashing should seek for and keep money and wealth till their death, and they will surely go to the hells.    

If there is the afterlife, it is meaningless as long as you fall into the hells.

John 6, King James Version

9 There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
10 And Jesus said, Make the men sit down. Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.
11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost.
13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world.

"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name" - Fight against Satan like Christ Jesus!

Fight against Satan like Christ Jesus!

Christ Jesus talked about the kingdom of God, the power of the spirit of God, and demons:

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. (Matthew 12)

The circumstance where this word was issued is Israel of 2,000 years ago where the society was covered by the worldly values and people were absorbed in every worldly concern and worry.  Put simply, everyone was seeking material happiness and thus money, like the human world of today.  

The society opposite to such a world is the Kingdom of God where holy values are at the highest priority being governed by the Spirit of the God while Satan, devils, evil spirits, etc. are cast out of there.   And, it can be realized only by Christ Jesus, which is the basics of Christianity.  And, if we are sane, there is no reason for denying this Christianity launched by Christ Jesus as far as we love love more than hate, peace more than conflicts, truth more than deceits, and the God more than Satan.

But, if the Kingdom of the God is realized, none would follow Satan and there is none who should fall in the hell.  Satan should become of no use.  Satan should lose anybody or any souls that it can rule, occupy, dominate and make obey its evil power.  Therefore, it can be easily understood that Satan has made full efforts to stop the work of Christ Jesus.  These Satan's efforts resulted in the murder of Christ Jesus, but as Christ Jesus was the Son of God, He could resurrect and His soul just returned to Heaven or the God.  Satan must have simply increased the anger and wrath of God.  Therefore, Satan will be more severely punished by the God.  

Yet, crazy and cunning Satan tried to make as many people as possible fall into the hells and take them together into the final punishment by the God, namely the complete extinction.  In tis context, although it is laughable that Satan challenged the Son of God, Satan's desperate activities are the hidden theme of the Gospels.  And Satan is the hidden hero of the Gospels.

Indeed, in the Kingdom of the God, there cannot be any scenes where Satan can be assigned to any position.  And, this is the human world to be realized.        

But, as the mankind still stick to money, wealth, material happiness, selfish success, etc. following the teaching of Satan, the God should decide to punish the mankind in addition to Satan.  So, the God has not ordered His Son, Virgin Mary, His Angels, etc. to stop the corona-pandemic and conflicts among nations, including the war in Ukraine.  He might even allow the third world war to occur in the 21st century.

Truly, we are in a dangerous period of the human history, since the God must have been offended enough by Satan and the mankind who are still following Satan as if Satan is their god.  What we should learn in Gospels is the need to fight against Satan like Christ Jesus.

Matthew 6, King James Version
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

"thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly" - Change the Concept of Values

A Park in Tokyo

Change the Concept of Values

Everybody knows the power of Satan, namely money and wealth. It has not been changed even in these 2,000 years. So, when Christ Jesus taught that money and wealth are tools of Satan, everybody was astonished, since they revered money and wealth, namely tools of Satan, as if they had been gods.

So, when a rich young man who was almost perfect in terms of wealth wanted to be perfectly perfect, he came to Christ Jesus, a wise rabbi according to rumors.  The young man asked Christ Jesus what to do so as to be perfect.  Christ Jesus said to him to be poor, which could not be accepted by the young rich man, as the Gospel by Matthew described:

Matthew 19, King James Version

21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

25 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

27 Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

28 And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

This saying of Christ Jesus requests people to choose money, wealth and material happiness in this world or glory in Heaven after death.  But, regrettably most of men have chosen money, wealth and material happiness in this world without believing glory in Heaven to be given to them if only they believe in Christ Jesus.  As a result, the human world is still full of troubles such as the war in Ukraine, the corona pandemic, murders in the U.S., etc. 

The current human civilization is built based on the concept of values where money, wealth, and material happiness in this world are given the highest priority.  It actually means that love to Satan is given the highest priority.  Therefore, people would accept any small evil, the middle size of evil, and finally any big evil as Satan wishes in order to obtain and keep money, wealth, and material happiness in this world.  But, there is Satan in the society belonging to this civilization.  And, Satan wants to bring as many people as possible to the hells after their death.

Put simply, indeed, entering Heaven after death is not easy.  It is not because you have to be rich as much as possible in this world, but because you have to be poor as much as possible while living in this world.

According the teaching of Christ Jesus, the hells in the afterlife or the spirit world should be full of rich, happy, and successful men who were rich, happy, and successful while they were living in the human world.  They should be all ruled and dominated by Satan in the hells.  They all hated light and love of the God in Heaven more than their fear of Satan, so that they voluntarily fell into the hells.

Those who were accepted in Heaven must not want to see the rotten human world, so that they would not come back to the human world.  On the other hand, those who fell in the hells must want to take other souls to the hells so that they can gnaw the new comers.  Therefore, spirits we, living people in this world, encounter should be mostly evil spirits from the hells.

Nonetheless, the God must be so merciful that He sent His Son, Christ Jesus, and Virgin Mary to the human world with some angels so as to save as many people as possible and prevent them from falling into the hells.

In Heaven, those who were poor, unlucky, unsuccessful, and unhappy while having lived in the human world must look so happy and glorious in Heaven after death in this human world.  This is the image we should have for Heaven.  Poverty is the sure ticket to Heaven.  Accordingly, we have to change the concept of values.

Matthew 6, King James Version

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

"he entered into the synagogue and taught" - How to Unify All the Religions

How to Unify All the Religions

The most important thing for any individual is death of his own.

Religions mostly teach people that there is the afterlife or the spirit world where they will go after their death.  However, religions usually also teach them that believers or good ones can be accepted in Heaven but non-believers or bad ones should fall into the hells.

It is so simple, but it looks that there are too many people who fall into the hells.  The key to understanding this situation seems to be existence of Satan.  Satan wants to make as many people as possible fall into the hells so as to rule and control them in the hells.  For this purpose, Satan would brainwash people by infusing the thought that there is no afterlife so that there will be nothing left for them after their death.  People brainwashed by Satan in this way should think that there is no afterlife so that it is foolish not to enjoy life as much as possible by earning money as much as possible.  Consequently, people will come to gradually neglect ethics and virtue if needed to make big money.  And in the long run, they will accept any evil in this human world.  

Or, Satan teaches people who believe in the afterlife or the spirit world that people will be happy there after death no matter if they are poor or rich in this human world, so that it is foolish not to try to be rich while living in this world.  They will believe that being rich or poor in this world will not affect their status in the after life or the spirit world, since being rich or poor in this world has nothing to do with being good or evil.  Consequently, people will come to gradually neglect ethics and virtue if needed to make big money.  And in the long run, they will accept any evil in this human world.

Indeed, people come to think that they are not doing evil things but are just trying to be rich, which will not hinder them from being happy in the afterlife or the spirit world.  They think that being rich is different from being evil.  But this is the effect of Satan's brainwashing them.  To be rich, one has to neglect others and accept any necessary evil.  Through this process, such people are destined to the hells in the after life or the spirit world as Satan wishes.  As a result, the hells in the afterlife or the spirt world are full of souls of dead rich men, which must sadden Lord Christ Jesus and Virgin Mary.

To correct this situation, Lord Christ Jesus came to this world to teach people that being rich is being evil so that souls of rich men fall into the hells.  This is so simple.  And, souls of poor men should be accepted in Heaven in the afterlife or the spirit world.  Therefore, people must be poor so that they can be accepted in Heaven after their death.  By this simple teaching, Lord Christ Jesus fight against Satan.  

Therefore, truth in this world is so simple.  The teaching of Lord Christ Jesus is so simple and easy.  But, being poor means that one has to avoid doing or accepting any evil that might lead him to the hells.  This is the core of the religion Christianity.  

Put simple, one may accept his death and the idea of the afterlife or the spirit world, but one will most probably accept the teaching of Satan that one can happily live in the afterlife or the spirit world after death regardless whether or not one has been rich while living in the human world.  But in truth, such a man will fall into the hells after death as Satan wishes. 

So, Lord Christ Jesus told that rich men cannot be accepted in Heaven but poor men can be.  It means that rich men are doing evil things but poor men are not.  In other words, although any men can enter into the afterlife or the spirit world, only poor men having done little evil things can be accepted in Heave. 

Life and death, being rich or poor in this world, good or evil, and Heaven or the hells are all interconnected.  Therefore, we may say that poor and faithful men can be surely accepted in Heave.  Yet, some rich men who have happened to be rich in this world by chance without doing evil things may be accepted in Heave, but I think the chance should be slim.  Anyway, it depends on God's judgement whether one can be accepted in Heave.  However, being or becoming poor in this world is a sure way to be accepted in Heaven after death according to Lord Christ Jesus.

Therefore, every religion should emphasize the need to be poor so as for one's soul to be saved in Heaven as Lod Christ Jesus told us.  And, if every religion shares this teaching (namely, "poverty is the key to entering Heaven after death"), all the religions can be unified.

Luke 6, King James Version

3 And Jesus answering them said, Have ye not read so much as this, what David did, when himself was an hungred, and they which were with him;
4 How he went into the house of God, and did take and eat the shewbread, and gave also to them that were with him; which it is not lawful to eat but for the priests alone?
5 And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.
6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, that he entered into the synagogue and taught: and there was a man whose right hand was withered.
7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day; that they might find an accusation against him.
8 But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man which had the withered hand, Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. And he arose and stood forth.
9 Then said Jesus unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it?
