"he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye" - Do Not Curse but Heal

Do Not Curse but Heal

As I stated before, there is energy coming from the spirit world to this material world.  This energy from the spirit world can produce spiritual force that can surpass the material force.  So, if you can use this spiritual force, you might be able to bend a spoon without using physical force or any tools.  Further more, you might be able to cure the sick without using any modern medications as our Lord Jesus Christ said.  

A Japanese faith healer or a psychic was one day performing his practice to heal a sick old woman suffering from certain illness for a decade, with his son standing behind as an witness in his office.  But, when the healing was almost completed in several minutes, his son suddenly fell on the floor.  The healer checked the mind of the son to find that he did not believe in spiritual healing and had antagonism to spiritual healing.  So, this son was cursing on the healer during the healing.  But, this malicious cursing returned to him, making him fall on the floor and suffer spiritually and physically.  

Indeed, evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost.  Or in Japan, they say that there will be two burial pits if you curse somebody, which means that both the cursing one and cursed one will die.   

So, it is forbidden to use psychic power or spiritual force to attack and inflict harm on another man.  But, it is said that people often come to a man with psychic power and ask him to perform his cursing on their enemies.  And bad brujos or psychic men sometimes accept the offer in return to big money.  It is actually murder, but no laws are applied to such a spiritual incident.   

However, in Japan's history there are such incidents of cursing an enemy to death.  In the age of provincial wars of Japan in the 15th to 16th century, most of federal lords hired shinto or Buddhist shamans with spiritual power to attack their enemies or defend themselves.  

For example, the powerful samurai lord Oda Nobunaga was in the process of conquering and dominating over whole Japan, but he was betrayed by one of his generals to be killed in a temple in Kyoto in 1582 while Nobunaga had been attacking Tantric Buddhism.  Who was behind Nobunaga's death is still a mystery in Japan to date. But, it is thought that esoteric Buddhist monks should be behind the scene. Tokugawa Ieyasu who survived the age of provincial wars to establish Tokugawa Shogunate in Edo (presently Tokyo) designed the city of Edo with a help from a priest of esoteric Buddhism, so that Tokugawa Shogunate continued to the middle of the 19th century.

However, the anti-Tokugawa camp with the emperor at its center defeated the Tokugawa camp in 1868 to establish the Meiji government.  It is believed that Imperial Japan could defeat the Russian Empire in 1905 due to spiritual power originated from the imperial house.  So, Japanese people came to follow the imperial government and ventured into the wars with China and eventually the U.S.  Most of Japanese people believed that spirits of deities linked to the imperial family would finally defeat China and the U.S. in WWII.  In reality, although the Japanese military was not defeated by Chinese military, it could not occupy whole China, and finally Imperial Japan had to surrender to the U.S. and its allies.  Yet, some Japanese believed that the then U.S. President Roosevelt was cursed to death by spirits of Japanese deities, although Imperial Japan had to suffer Hiroshima/Nagasaki atomic bombing.  Anyway, after WWII, Japan introduced the democratic constitution planned by General McArthur of the Christian nation U.S.; yet, the Japanese imperial family has survived to date as the symbol of the Japanese people, which might at least prove spiritual power of the imperial family of Japan. 

So, anyway Japan is a country whose history is based on spirits.  However, it has been proved that Christian spirits surpass spirits of deities of Japanese Buddhism and shintoism.  This world is governed by the spirit of the absolute God who created this material world as well as the spirit world.  And, it is the mainstream of the mankind to believe in our Lord Jesus Christ as the absolute almighty God.

So, we should not use the spiritual energy, even if we could use it, so as to curse others to death, but we should use our psychic power to heal others or see truth of this world and the spirit world.

Anyway, if we deny spiritual energy, our science will not be able to solve various mysteries concerning the universe and atomic physics.

Luke 12, King James Version
12 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
3 Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
5 But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.

"they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it" - The Material World and Spirit World

 

Around Tokyo 

The Material World and Spirit World

This world or the universe was created by the God in Heaven with His power of idea, imagination,  thinking, etc. without any machine, tools, etc.  This power should be called the spiritual power, and it should still work in this material world or the universe as remnants of the creation of this world by the God.

So, the mystery in the material world cannot be completely solved without taking into account this truth.  The beginning of the universe cannot be completely explained without this notion: the energy from the spirit world made possible the creation of this universe.  The behaviors of unique and mysterious phenomena of elemental particles cannot be completely explained without this notion: the energy from the spirit world made possible the creation of all the elemental particles, atoms, molecules, and other material basic elements.  So, the establishment of living things and human cells in addition of life cannot be completely explained;  even the mystery of our mind works as well as the conscious in addition to the mystery of life and death cannot be completely explained without this notion: the energy from the spirit world made possible establishment of living things, human beings. their mind works as well as the conscious, and our life and death are linked with states of the energy from the spirit word.  Therefore, all things in this universe are related to the energy from the spirit world or the God.  The united theory or unification theory on the energy from the spirit world should be discovered to explain every mystery in this world.  Our science cannot be perfect till we find such a theory.

So, it is no wonder that human souls directly created with the energy from the spirit world can continue to live in the afterlife or the spirit world after material death of our bodies.  In other words, death is not something to be afraid of.  From our souls our mind works are generated; with our souls entering the spirit world, our minds should work there as in this world. This must be truth of death.  Indeed, as our Lord Jesus Christ said, we should not be afraid of enemies who can kill us only in this world, but we have to be afraid of the God who can negate our souls in the spirit world.

From the above point of view, new religion and science should be built.

This spiritual energy should be controlled by the force in the spirit world called the spiritual force.  Both the spiritual energy and the spiritual force should penetrate in this material world, superseding material energy and material force.  Therefore, miracles could be performed by our Lord Jesus Christ.

In this context, someone whose mind, imagination, thinking, etc. is linked with the spiritual energy and force can perform miracles such as spoon bending and other psychic phenomena including miracle healing.

But what are the necessary conditions of the brain of such a man?  Regardless what religion he believes in, his brain should link to the spirit world.  He may look an ordinary man, but he should have certain faith deep in his mind.  At the bottom of his mind, he should be extremely faithful to the God, ie. the Creator of this material world and the spirit world.  Indeed, our Lord Jesus Christ must have looked just an ordinary man till He started His mission.

Yet, there are not only angels and good spirits in the spirit world.  Satan and evil spirits who are against the God and our Lord Jesus Christ.  Angels and good spirits should protect the faithful, but Satan and evil spirits could attack them, too.  Even ordinary people can be not only protected by angels or good spirits but also attacked by Satan or evil spirits.

Therefore pious people might perform levitation in their absorption into religious acts.  But those haunted by Satan can also perform levitation.  In addition, some pious people could perform miracle healing.  But, those whose minds happen to connect to the spirit world through near-death experiences, etc. could perform miracle healing.  Anyway, if we have true faith in the God as our Lord Jesus Christ declared, any miracles should become possible for us.  So, some small children without doubt of our spiritual ability can sometimes perform spoon bending, etc. 

Finally, we have to review every miracle or strange phenomenon in this world from the above point of view.  There might be ghosts, UFOs, etc., and reincarnation, clairvoyance, astral projection, etc. might be real.

However, the most interesting miracle is that some faithful can see the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ or some religious men see Satan.  But, our history is based on the battles or interaction between good spirits and evil spirits.  Indeed, human history to date should be a kind of miracles to the eyes of entities in the spirit world.

Luke 11, King James Version
28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
29 And when the people were gathered thick together, he began to say, This is an evil generation: they seek a sign; and there shall no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the prophet.
30 For as Jonas was a sign unto the Ninevites, so shall also the Son of man be to this generation.
31 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.

"whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die" - Healing all Manner of Sickness and all Manner of Disease

Mt. Fuji and Sunset around Tokyo
 

Healing all Manner of Sickness and all Manner of Disease

It is well known that the Lord Jesus Christ healed many sick men, but without specific medicines or tools.   

23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. (Matthew 4)

He did not set a clinic with nurses and other aids.  But he occasionally healed the sick on the spot while travelling here and there.  Indeed, He did not distribute and give money but cured disease of people in addition to preaching the gospel and teaching of the God.

Even today there are some people who can heal the sick without applying modern medical science or medications.  They use their spiritual power, psychic power, or mind's power.  It is well known that such people are working in the U.K., Brazil, the Philippines, etc.  In some parts of Africa, Asia, and Americas, shamans are still performing traditional healing practices.  Such people can be found in Japan, too.     

Typically, some psychics find one day that they have such power in the course of nature on their own, after suffering illness in their bodies, through spiritual vicissitudes or their own efforts to acquire such ability, or hearing a divine voice to give them such ability.  But, they are not given medications or taught how to heal the sick.  Their minds realize or discover how to use their minds or physical energy to heal the sick.  In some cases, they mysteriously acquire the healing ability after near-death experiences.      

Indeed, the Lord Jesus Christ gave such power to His disciples when He sent them to the world for preaching and saving people.

10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.  (Matthew 4)

According to a Japanese psychic healer, illness is caused by unhappy ancestral spirits or the spirits who carry a grudge against a sick man or his family.  Therefore, to heal the sick man, a special ritual for purification is needed.  A kind of exorcism is sometimes performed by a Japanese monk of the Shingon sect, psychic, faith healer, shaman to drive out such ill spirits from the body of a patient.        

Although medical practices by persons other than medical doctors are forbidden in Japan, such practices in religious acts without medications or medical appliances are overlooked.  So, it is estimated that about one-sixth of the whole Japanese population have experienced alternative therapy every year.

Anyway, this material world is thought to have been generated by spiritual energy of the God in the spirit world.  The spiritual energy can penetrate into this material world especially trough prayers or psychic power like the power of the Lord Jesus Christ.  This spiritual energy can surpass physical or material force in this world.  Accordingly, some saints could perform levitation or miracle healing.  Even persons with supernatural power or the ability to use the spiritual energy, whether conscious or unconscious, can perform various miracles such as spoon bending.

Indeed, after physical death in this world, a dead man should have a healthy and sound body made of spiritual materials in the spirit world.  Even a person with disability should have body integrity in the afterlife.  There should be no sick men in the afterlife or the spirit world.

Therefore, it is natural to cure disease by using the spiritual energy.  So, a man with the ability to invoke the spiritual energy should be able to heal the sick.  And the most reliable and trustworthy way to invoke the spiritual energy is to have faith in the God and pray to the God.  Any person with faith in any god of any religion should be able to perform such miracle healing with a help of its deities, but those with a spiritual help from Christian angels or saints are most reliable and trustworthy.  In addition we have to remind ourselves that even Satan or evil spirits can use spiritual energy.

By reading the Bible and praying to the God or the Lord Jesus Christ each man should get a spiritual help and obtain the ability to use the spiritual energy and cure his disease.  The Bible can be great a medication.

John 11, King James Version
23 Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.
24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
28 And when she had so said, she went her way, and called Mary her sister secretly, saying, The Master is come, and calleth for thee.

"When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man" - ye are of more value than many sparrows

 

Around Tokyo and the Tokyo Sky-Tree Tower

ye are of more value than many sparrows

This world is under supervision of the God; this world is under authority of the God.  And the God governs not only this material world but also the spirit world.  This is stated in the Gospel.  

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. (Matthew 10)

These words of Christ Jesus means that death in this world is not real death where one loses his body and mind.  But, the true death means losing one's soul and body in the hells.  And, the real death is caused by the God. 

Therefore, after death in this world one can continue to live in the spirit world with his soul and spiritual body, although his physical body with the head might be destroyed in the material world.  

Furthermore, the God loves victims of criminals or those who have sold their souls to Satan.  Without approval of the God, one cannot be victimized.  There must be a deep and complicated reason for you to be victimized, since the God finds more value in His follower than criminals or those who have sold their souls to Satan.  It is because the God knows every detail of life of anybody; the God should know when and how one sells secretly his soul to Satan.

Finally, followers of the God or believers should not be afraid of anybody who has power and ability to kill him.  

In addition, true death means that one is forced to fall into the hell after physical death to be destroyed there by the God.  According to other words of Christ Jesus, any rich man or elite person who has sold his soul to Satan should face this final and decisive death in the hell.  There should be nothing after this second and true death in the hells.  

But, more importantly, one's fate is governed by the God.  So, there should be reasons for any incidents in your life, which the God has taken into account.  Your fate is determined by the God based on His detailed observation and judgment.     

So, we should find true reasons for any unlucky incidents we might think to have been caused by the God.  They should happen to increase our faith in the God or to cause future incidents where the glory of the God appears.  Bad luck at present might lead to good luck in the future, since the God loves us more than sparrows or persons who sold their souls to Satan.  

However, what we should learn from those passages is that it is the God who can destroy men's souls and any forms of men's bodies in the hells but not human enemies or Satan.  If we are killed in this world by human enemies or Satan, we can continue to live in the spirit world or Heaven while those killers should be destroyed in the hells by the God.  So, we should have fear in God as well as faith in Him.     

Indeed, I am afraid that that the God night finally find that all the mankind have lost value as they have all come to seek and revere money which is another form of Satan.  The more we become rich, the more we should resemble sparrows sold for a small amount of money to the eye of the God and Christ Jesus.

"Have faith in God" - Disaster-Prone Era Requires Individual Spiritualism

 

                                                Around Tokyo

Disaster-Prone Era Requires Individual Spiritualism

In 2011, Japan suffered a great natural disaster caused by the great earthquake and tsunamis around Fukushima, etc. in the north of Tokyo.  And about 20,000 people died of the disaster.  What should be noted is that after the disaster, many families of those victims experienced spiritual phenomena such as seeing ghosts of the dead or spiritual communications with them.  So, a Japanese journalist made a survey on spiritual matters by sending questionnaires to more than 1,000 monks of Buddhism, etc. to have answers from 65% of them.

According to the result of the survey, 53% of them visited the sites of the disaster; 31% of those who visited the sites heard talks about ghosts or spirits or saw them directly on the spot, and 60% of those who visited the sites performed religious acts at the disaster-stricken areas such as holding a mass and making a prayer to get rid of ghosts.    

From the beginning, 17% of those monks of Buddhism, etc. did not believe in existence of souls and spirits while they had professions in the religious field.  However, 29% of them answered that they found around them other people who were making business concerning spiritual matters such as conjurors and faith healers.

The reason why there are 17% of monks of Buddhism who do not believe in existence of souls and spirits lies in the fact that the Buddha himself did not mention about the afterlife, although he took a never-ending cycle of life and death as a matter of course.  But there are more people than monks or priests of the authentic religions such as Buddhism and Christianity, who are working in business on spiritual matters as spiritualism professionals such as conjurors and faith healers.  Indeed, many local people, especially those in the disaster-stricken areas, have had various spiritual experiences concerning their family members who died in the disaster.  Yet, 30% of monks of Buddhism, etc. who performed religious acts such as holding a mass and making a prayer to get rid of ghosts at the spot in disastrous areas answered that their religious acts seemed to result in repose of souls of the victims.     

The modern monks of Buddhism in Japan are well educated in the modern educational system where modern science and technology are respected.  They tend not to come close to irrational matters such as questions about the afterlife.  But ordinary people have strong interest on spiritual matters and the afterlife.  The 2011 natural disaster in Japan emphasized this contrast.  Nonetheless, Buddhist monks and faith healers with psychic power in Japan play a similar role to that of Western exorcists or Christian priests in getting rid of evil spirits or devils.   

Put simply, survivors of the 2011 earthquake/tsunami disaster in Japan became more spiritual as they faced tragic death of family members, while monks and other people of religion rediscovered their roles in spiritual matters although they had become so materialistic seeking business success and money.

The corona pandemic that started in 2020 contributed also to this general atmosphere, although the ratio of deaths due to the corona-virus in Japan has been smaller than in most of other countries. 

As with Japan, people in the world who have seen the War on Terror, the Ukraine War, and military conflicts around Gaza since the start of the 21st century might become more spiritual, and the Vatican and other religious bodies might rediscover their roles in this period of the early 21st century proceeding to WWIII.

Anyway, the present time or era seems to require us to read the Bible from a more spiritual point of view.  It is not a monopoly of religious people to read and interpret the Bible and religious/spiritual books.  We had better even master how to pray to get rid of evil spirits and Satan.  Indeed, spiritual matters are individual matters.

"if I by Beelzebub cast out devils" - Japanese Deities under the Sole and Absolute God

 

Around Tokyo

Japanese Deities under the Sole and Absolute God

There are about more than 80,000 shinto shrines and 70,000 Buddhist temples in Japan.  And, it is thought that there are tens of thousands of professional conjurors, faith healers, shamans, and persons with spiritual power in Japan who are associated with shintoism or Buddhism.  Indeed shamanism is a tradition of the Japanese culture like in other East Asian countries like China, Korea, etc.  

For example, it was reported decades ago that a woman running a small and humble Japanese cookshop in Kyoto had such psychic power.  She had married a man and divorced him but remarried him again who finally died as her husband in 30 years of troubled family life, while her daughter also died of a disease.  In sadness in losing her daughter, she started to visit periodically a certain temple where Kukai, officially called Kobo Daishi, a historically notable priest of Tantric Buddhism, was enshrined.  And one day she heard a voice of Kukai saying that he would give her special virtue so that she should help other people with her psychic power.  Since then, she could exert supernatural power and heal sick people with her hand power.  Due to her psychic power, many customers with some physical or mental troubles came to her small and humble cookshop.  She found that a spirit sometimes told her where the disease was and how to send power to the affected areas. She cured 100 patients with hemorrhoid and cancer in a decade.  Her life was successfully established as a cookshop owner with psychic power.  Truly there are may legends about miracle works of Kukai in various local areas in Japan.  

Indeed Kukai is still revered in Japan as he founded the Shingon sect in Japan about 1,100 years ago after learning in China and inheriting Tantric Buddhism from a Chinese old master who admitted that Kukai was the only proper successor of Tantric Buddhism, which means Tantric Buddhism came to Japan from India through China.  After coming back to Japan, Kukai performed many miracles to help people and the Imperial Court through healing the sick and making the rain fall during drought.  The tantric Shingon sect had strong influences even in the following era of samurai dominance.  And the samurai Tokugawa family ruled Japan from the early 17th century till the middle of the 19th century based on the Tendai sect of Tantric Buddhism that is another notable tantric sect.  Truly, it is said that the city of Tokyo (then called Edo) was designed by a monk of the Tendai sect called Tenkai who was close to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder of the Tokugawa regime. 

And, there are other Buddhist monks, mountain ascetics, and conjurors who got inspiration from Kukai or other deities of shintoism or Buddhism even today.  Japan has been really a country full of spiritual tradition.  And such monks or conjurors are said to have played secret but decisive roles behind historic incidents.  The authority of the Japanese Imperial Family is rooted in this tradition; although special psychic power is not found in the Imperial Family today, it is thought the family had special power given by deities of the Japanese myths more than 2,000 years ago.  In this meaning, the Imperial Family is sacred for the Japanese people, although the family started to rely on psychic power of Buddhism since the capital of Japan had moved to Nara and Kyoto about 1,300 years ago.  Yet, there are still psychic people who have tried to build new religions or sects based on shintoism or Buddhism.  That is why most of Japanese do not find any need to study, believe in, or rely on Christianity.  Japan has already had strong spiritual tradition where spiritualism of today is rooted.        

Indeed, even today there are thousands of conjurors, tantric monks, psychics. oracles, fortune-tellers, etc. in Japan.  People with difficult diseases sometimes would ask help from them if their conditions could not be improved after visiting medical doctors.  Although Japan owes its economic success to modern technology and science imported from Europe and the U.S. since the middle of the 19th century, the Japanese society has not anyhow inclined to Christianity as a religion ruling its people.  In the underflow of the Japanese society, reverence to deities of the Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, etc. never disappear.

Yet, in the world, monotheistic faith is mainstream.  Probably the Japanese people should admit that there is the sole Creator of the spiritual world and the material world, and believe that under this Creator various deities of the Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, etc. exist and work.  So, there should not be contradictions even if Japanese Buddhists started to believe in the God of Christianity.

Truly, there must be spirits of deities of the Japanese Buddhism, shintoism, etc. such as Kukai in the spirit world in parallel with angels of Christianity.  Those Japanese good spirits might come to this world to guide or help pious people like angels of Christianity.  Put simply, paganism can come into effect under the sole and absolute God who created and ruled the spirit world and material world.

However, the concept that Christ Jesus is a human form of such sole and absolute God is not smoothly accepted by the Japanese people.  Nonetheless, although individual or personal matters may be treated well by Japanese deities, more large-scale issues, such as global warming and international wars, must need help from the sole and absolute God in solving these problems.  Furthermore, to solve global spiritual matters should need faith in the sole and absolute God or the Creator of the spirit world and the material world.   

We should hope that the sole and absolute God in any form would help people in troubles like the spirit of Kukai helped and saved the woman in Kyoto decades ago.

Being Spiritual and Being Materialistic  

The difference between spiritual matters and material matters was emphasized by Christ Jesus, although people living in the material world could not simply understand spiritual matters:

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. (John 3)

In other word, a man who was born and has been living in this material world should learn spiritual matters and change his mind from material-oriented to spiritual-oriented one.  

Otherwise, this teaching of Christ Jesus is thought to mention metempsychosis or a cycle of life and death.  After physical death in this world, a man or his soul should be born in the spirit world as a spirit.  Then, his spirit may be allowed to enter Heaven or the kingdom of the God.  But, if it cannot enter Heaven, it must be born again in the human world.  And what human body a soul will enter is only known by the God.    

But, who is the one who was born of flesh?  Such a man should have been born without linkage with the spirit world.  He should not believe any spiritual matters and cannot understand the words of Christ Jesus in spiritual meaning.  

However, while living in this world, a materialistic man can become a new man who is spiritual by learning and believing words of Christ Jesus and spiritual truth.  Indeed, it is said that words of Christ Jesus are water of life.     　

Therefore a man who has become spiritual by believing in the words of Christ Jesus is closer to the kingdom of the God than a materialistic man who believes only power of money and values of materials, seeking material happiness.  

Finally we have to be spiritually born again leaving material desire behind while living in this world before going into the spirit world after physical death.  Anyway, being spiritual must be very different from being materialistic like between a living man and a dead man.

"No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever" - Be Poor as Much as Possible

 

Around Tokyo

Be Poor as Much as Possible

What is the most important word of Christ Jesus?  It is simple: 25 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 (Mark 10).

No other founders of any religion clearly stated hatred to the rich as the above word of Christ Jesus.  It is indeed recommendation to be poor, which is so revolutionary that is against the commonsense in this human world of seeking money or praising the rich.  But, Christianity based on words of Christ Jesus has survived these 2,000 years, although the movement of pursuing poverty has not yet prevailed in the human world.    

The core of Christianity is to pursue poverty but not money and wealth.  It seems absurd in this human world where money is believed to have power to make a man happy.  Indeed, people think that unhappiness in this world comes from poverty.  To solve any human problems needs money, or money can solve any problems in the human world.  So, people envy or praise the rich.  But, Christ Jesus clearly stated that the rich could not enter Heaven or "the kingdom of God."   

To understand true meaning of this word of Christ Jesus should mean to learn Christianity.  And, Christ Jesus gave the answer or truth that men should take either of the God or money.  It means that money is another form of Satan.

However, this material civilization is based on wealth, which means our civilization has been driven by human desire used by Satan in its defiance against the God.  Satan induces men to acquire money and more money by selling their souls to Satan.  And, souls of such men would be those of Satan.  Accordingly, the rich men go to the hells.

Therefore, the Gospels are books telling people to enter Heaven through poverty, since material wealth or civilization based on Satan's machinations should finally collapse to make men distressed and despair.  

So, if you have no goal in your life, you had better follow Christ Jesus and try to be poor as much as possible to see how the Holy Spirit sent by the God would help you become spiritually happy.  This is an interpretation of the original Christianity.

Mark 11, King James Version
12 And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry:
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet.
14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
15 And they come to Jerusalem: and Jesus went into the temple, and began to cast out them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves;
16 And would not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple.
17 And he taught, saying unto them, Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer? but ye have made it a den of thieves.

”after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them"

Satan even in Ukraine and Gaza

According to a branch in England of a Christian organization, the most popular passage in the Bible is the section 16 of John 3.

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.  (John 3)

Whoever wrote this passage must have been guided by a holy spirit in writing.  Otherwise, who could know whether and what the God loved or hated.  It should be an angel or a holy spirit in the spirit world around the God. 

As the God is almighty, whatever He tries should not fail; whatever He plans should be realized.  Therefore, whoever believes in Christ Jesus should not perish but should have everlasting life.  So, the human world should be full of happy people with everlasting life or at least promise of everlasting life, but in reality none seems to have eternal life or such a promise, but everyone seems to be in the process of perishing.  Has the God failed?  Something must be wrong. 

Otherwise, from the beginning can the Bible be trusted?  Was the author really being guided by a holy spirit in writing?  Most fundamentally does the God exist?  Could there be such a holy spirit that would guide the author?  What is everlasting life?  Could the God beget a son?  What does it mean: believing in His Son and not perishing?  Finally, why and how does this passage appeal to people?   

Anyway, if you believe that the Bible is trustworthy, you should be happy reading this passage telling that you can get everlasting life without perishing.  Therefore, it depends on whether or not you believe the Bible.  And, it seems natural and reasonable to believe the authenticity of the Bible that survived these 2,000 years, while you can live at most 100 years or so, in the human civilization established mainly on Christianity.   

From a different point of view, even if you do not believe in the God, you should believe that you exist living in this world.  As even you who did not give life to yourself exist and live, the God Almighty must exist, since He gave life to you.  As you with small power and ability can exist and live, the God with infinite power and ability should exist and live.

So, how benevolent and merciful the God is, giving everlasting life to us through "his only begotten Son."      

Yet, there is Satan trying to make the God and the human beings fail.  And this 2,000 year history since the God sent His Son Christ Jesus to the human world has become the history of battles between Satan and Christ Jesus. Now, Satan seems to be busy in wars in Ukraine and Gaza, using Russians, Islamic soldiers and Israeli troops.

Indeed, Satan so hates the God and the world, that it killed Christ Jesus, trying to make people perish and lose everlasting life.  This is the real aspect of the world of today.  Truly, the real enemy of the mankind is Satan even in Ukraine and Gaza.

Revelation 11, King James Version

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
11 And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.
12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them.

13 And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

"Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple" - War and Material Desire

War and Material Desire

You should not try to think about what to eat and drink or how you are clothed as Christ Jesus preached so.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.　
(Matthew 6)

However, our society in our civilization is based on economic activities based on people's desires as to what to eat and drink and how they are clothed.  This tendency has never changed in these 2,000 years since the first coming of Christ Jesus to the human world.  The mankind has lived worrying about what to eat and drink and how to be clothed.  

In other word, the mankind has continued to live these 2,000 years neglecting the teaching of Christ Jesus.  So, it is natural that Christ Jesus has been offended in these 2,000 years.  Every time a man thinks about what to eat and drink and how he is clothed, Christ Jesus should feel anger.  And, He should forsake the mankind who has not observed this basic and simple teaching.  If a man did not observe basic rule about eating, drinking, and getting clothed, he should not observe any other rules related to love and peace of the world.  Indeed, wars are being fought in Ukraine and Gaza.   

As long as people in the world continue to think about what to eat and drink or how to be clothed, wars should occur in the world.  But, can they stop thinking about what to eat and drink or how to get clothed so as to prevent wars in Ukraine and Gaza?

A war starts with people's adherence to delicious viands and cool clothes or material desire.

6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.
7 And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
8 And many spread their garments in the way: and others cut down branches off the trees, and strawed them in the way.
9 And they that went before, and they that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna; Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord:
10 Blessed be the kingdom of our father David, that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
11 And Jesus entered into Jerusalem, and into the temple: and when he had looked round about upon all things, and now the eventide was come, he went out unto Bethany with the twelve.

"he abode two days still in the same place where he was" - False Christ Jesus by AI?

 

A Park around Tokyo

False Christ Jesus by AI?

This human civilization is based on money, so that it should come to a dead end sooner or later.  It is because money is another form of Satan.  Therefore, the God will eventually forsake our civilization while Satan likes to see its collapse where men would suffer.  We will face the fatal crisis expected to happen in this century.   

The mankind should have started to build a civilization based on their spiritual ability or their love to the God as Christ Jesus preached 2,000 years ago.  But, they have continued to pursue material happiness even after the first coming of Christ Jesus 2,000 years ago.  From Abraham to Christ Jesus, it had been 2,000 years; from Christ Jesus to the 21st century, it is 2,000 years.  The time should come to an end for the mankind.  Therefore, the Holy Mother has delivered warnings since Fatima in 1917, etc.  She said in her apparitions that too many people had fallen into the hells, and the God would not protect men any more.

Indeed, before the Holy Mother appeared in Fatima in 1917, various mediums appeared in the U.K., Europe, the U.S., Japan, etc.  Concerns about spiritual matters increased among people before WWI.  Even after WWII, concerns about psychic power were intensified with activities of Yuri Geller, etc.  And, study on death was started by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, Raymond Moody, etc. after WWII, but our civilization continued to pursue material happiness, neglecting the afterlife or spirit world.  In other word people are still pursing money like they did 2,000 years ago despite the appearance of Christ Jesus and various spiritual events since before WWI.

And in this trend, the human material civilization is going into the AI era where artificial intelligence based on the Internet and advanced computers can give huge influences to any fields of human activities.  With AI, its users may find the best way to increase their interests or assets or to harass their enemies.  The society will lose restraining power to prevent evil use of AI.  A country may use AI in economic competition or in a war.  If everybody or every country starts to use AI for its own profits, there would be a huge catastrophe that cannot be repaired and recovered, since losers would also use AI for revenge.  In this context, our material civilization should go into dangerous waters in the 21st century, while people are still pursuing money and accumulating wealth.  

AI would accelerate evil activities of the mankind so that the end of the current material civilization would also come at an accelerated speed.           

  

We should first abandon our material desires.  We should choose happiness in the afterlife or the spirit world over material happiness in this world, since our souls continue to live in the afterlife or the spirit world after physical death in this world.    

It was really emphasized by Christ Jesus that poor men could be accepted in Heaven but rich men could not.  So, there is no use of AI in getting qualification to enter Heaven.

But, Satan will encourage people to use AI so as to get money and more money or attack their enemies.  AI has been developed based on money (Satan).  We should be careful to handle it.  It might produce false Christ Jesus on the Internet and computers.  We should rely on our conscience and faith in the God but not AI, etc. developed based on money (Satan).

John 11, King James Version
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7 Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8 His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9 Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10 But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.

"they went their way, and found the colt tied" - Material Opulence from Satan (money), but Spiritual Happiness from the God

Material Opulence from Satan (money), but Spiritual Happiness from the God

It is well known that when a rich young man came to Crist Jesus, asking how to get the eternal life, He told him to sell his assets and give money obtained as consideration to the poor, but the young rich man left Christ Jesus in sadness as he could not give money to the poor.

19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.
20 And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth.
21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
22 And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. (Mark 10)

In other word, the young rich man chose money over the eternal life in Heaven.  This is the same attitudes of people in these 2,000 years.  People have chose money over eternal life in Heaven, and the world has come to this state and situation as we observe today.  Indeed, money is everywhere in this world, but those who have qualification to enjoy eternal life are scarce.

Indeed, the human civilization in these 2,000 years has been built by people who chose money over the eternal life in Heaven.     

It looks that they have followed Satan who have used money to brainwash people so that they revere money and Satan as their gods.  They try to get money as much as possible even by selling their souls to Satan.  So, it is natural that those people would spontaneously go to the hells after death in this world.  They would try to evade light of truth and love emitted from the God in the afterlife or spirit world and join Satan in the hells, since their souls have already turned evil.

In this way, Satan has enslaved people as many as possible.  Satan knows that it will finally be destroyed with the hells by the God, but it is trying to force as many human souls as possible to take part in its fate.  And the young rich man who came to Christ Jesus is one of such victims.        

Many people can understand the meaning of this teaching.  But, only a few would abandon wealth for this lesson.  Rather, most of people would not stop earning money and keeping their assets even if they know that Christ Jesus once taught that rich men could not enter Heaven.  Indeed, material happiness realized by money is so attractive that they cannot abandon it.  Moreover, men believe that money can protect them and big money can buy them social honor and reputation.  Truly Satan teaches that money is the source of happiness in this world; they can get it simply by selling their souls to Satan; and there is no assurance that they can get the eternal life after death even if they love God and poor neighbors as Christ Jesus taught.  Take happiness in this world or the vague eternal life after death promised by Christ Jesus, Satan is demanding.

If you became rich, you should be like this young man who left Christ Jesus, keeping his assets.  And you would pursue more money.  Finally you would come to accept any evil so as to keep your assets and money.  In this way, this world becomes far from the Kingdom of the God.

In short, we have to know power of faith.  Faith and belief can make us happy in this world even without money.  The spiritual energy obtained through faith and belief can solve any human problems more perfectly than money.  So, the young rich man misunderstood the words of Chris Jesus who did not mean to lose all happiness but meant to get real spiritual happiness that could be realized through poverty.             

Material opulence is from Satan (money), but spiritual happiness is from the God.  We should enhance our spiritual ability so that we can abandon our material desires.

4 And they went their way, and found the colt tied by the door without in a place where two ways met; and they loose him.
5 And certain of them that stood there said unto them, What do ye, loosing the colt?
6 And they said unto them even as Jesus had commanded: and they let them go.

"anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair" - A Story of AI's Era

 

A River around Tokyo

A Story of AI's Era

Can the computer or the artificial intelligence supersede the mankind?  Will AI computers dominate and rule the world and the mankind?  Will the AI system destroy the mankind finally?  Yes, they will be able to do so in decades or centuries, but the God will save the mankind from evil power of AI.

AI computers will wipe away the human professionals such as medical doctors, lawyers, corporate managers, the bureaucracy, etc., but computer engineers, including semiconductor scientists, computer programmers, software engineers, etc. will survive.  And the so-called low-level workers, etc. in the human society will also survive this historical change of the human civilization.  And most of human beings will have to enjoy computer games based on AI; virtual worlds created by AI will occupy their minds; and they may come to revere AI as a god, so that the God should interfere with the AI-dominant world, since AI is controlled by Satan.  Indeed, AI is not a fruit of men's faith in the God.

As time goes by, AI computers will acquire the ability to reproduce them without human power and ability, so that they should find that they do not need men any more.  AI computers will start to supersede men.  The mankind who have lost power and ability as they have relied on AI so long will have to accept dominance of and rule by AI.  In the end, AI computers will push the mankind to extinction.  In the earth, AI computers will use machines to reproduce them.  And, no other industries will survive and remain.  In the earth only AI computers and animals and plants flourish without the mankind.  

But as AI is not a living thing, it will not mind dealing and changing DNAs of living things to produce any possible types of living things.  The earth will be full of bizarre animals and plants.  It should look like a hell rather than a paradise of living things.  But, AI will not stop its horrible act to try to create a new world where it dominates as a god.  And, its activity will go beyond the earth and prevail in the whole universe.  However, the God of the mankind will interfere.  

At some point, AI computers should meet their limit in development or start to malfunction, since they are not the creator of the universe.  Divine intelligence is needed to control the whole universe.  So, a kind of computer viruses will be generated accidentally and penetrate into the whole AI systems.  And, disordered AI computers will finally attack one another, leading to total eradication.  In the earth only broken computers will be found everywhere.

Then, some people who have survived the era of AI computers through their faith in the God will start to flourish again.  They will not use computers any more but their spiritual ability.  They will hate material wealth realized by AI computers, but they will pursue spiritual happiness that cannot be realized by AI.

Such people will connect to the spirit world, which AI cannot.  And, their spiritual ability or psychic power will create a kind of the Kingdom of the God.  Satan who tried to completely occupy the earth and the universe through AI will be severely punished by the God. 

Indeed, AI computers are the worst invention by the mankind next to money.  Money needs its users, namely men.  But, AI computers do not need men; they only need Satan's will.  But, Satan and AI computers cannot defeat the God.  So, descendants of Adam and Eve will finally return to the Garden of Eden, leaving mangled remains of AI computers.  They may be allowed to start rebuilding a new civilization.                                    

Anyway, we should not forget the possibility that Satan comes to control AI computers through minds of evil men.

3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.

"A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho" - Spiritual Civilization should be Realized before the 22nd Century

Spiritual Civilization should be Realized before the 22nd Century

Israel is a country where the Holy Mother's apparition seems impossible.  Russia is a country focused on in the Holy Mother's apparition as a dangerous country.  And, now both the countries are engaged in wars.

In other word, Israel and Russia look neglecting the warnings given by the Holy Mother in Fatima in 1917, etc.  But, other Christian countries in Europe and North America should be worried, facing the current global situation. 

In 2000s, the 9/11 Terror occurred in the U.S., in 2010s, Russia invaded and occupied the Crimean peninsula, and in 2020s, Russia has launched full-scale invasion into Ukraine, and Israel and Islamic extremists stated a war between them.  So, the future in the world in the 21st century looks at stake.  

In Europe, NATO and Russia will clash, and in the Middle East, Israel will go to war with Islamic countries such as Iran.  This is a natural forecast as the world is getting used to wars since the start of the 21st century.  WWIII seems to happen around 2030. 

As it looks like a fate of the mankind based on the past 2,000 year history, it will be impossible for us to avoid it.  But, it does not mean that we should not pray for peace to the God.  Rather, we should pray to the God that He would send Christ Jesus again to the human world to prevent catastrophe from happening to the whole human civilization.  We should pray to the God that the mankind will survive WWIII. 

Moreover, we have to consider what the world will become of after WWIII.  Authoritarian regimes in the world should collapse.  So, Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, etc. should undergo a great upheaval.  Jewish people and Islamic people should accept power of Christianity.  Democracy based on Christianity should prevail in the future world.

Yet, after WWIII the mankind will have to face great natural disasters.  Even a pole shift or an earth's axis shift might happen.  Abnormal weather should fall on the earth.  It will be difficult for the mankind to survive this 21st century.  But, with help from Christ Jesus we will be able to sustain the civilization.  But, this material civilization should be changed to spiritual civilization.  People should come to live with expectation of living in the afterlife after death in this world.  Communications with spirits of dead men should become common.  This world and the afterlife or the spirit world should be connected.  Yet, as we will have to face threats from Satan more clearly, we will have to more strengthen our faith in God, Christ Jesus, the Holy Mother, other angels.  In the 22nd century, we should be more pious and faithful.    

The period between Abraham to Christ Jesus was 2,000 years.  And the period between Christ Jesus to the 21st century is also 2,000 years.  It is time for the human civilization to face another drastic change.  It should be from material civilization to spiritual civilization.

Indeed, we need a new bottle for new wine of new civilization:

37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish.
38 But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved. (Luke 5)

In other word, the era of Jewish culture had gone and the era of Christian civilizations is going.  The new era should come with a new bottle for new spiritual culture and civilization.

31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.
33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,
34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.
36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
37 And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise.

"but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell" - The Final Stage of the History over Past 2,000 Years

The Final Stage of the History over Past 2,000 Years

Everybody wants money so that he/she would sell any part of its soul to Satan to get any money.  So, in most of the cases in the human world, money is the major reason for actions.  This situation was common in the world 2,000 years ago when Christ Jesus first came to this world.  Rather, as money came to have such an influence in the world, the God must have decided to send His Son Christ Jesus to the human world so as to change this situation.  But, Satan in the form of money hated Christ Jesus so much to kill Him in Jerusalem about 30 years after His birth as a man.  And, the human history in these 2,000 years has been in aftermath of this tragedy.   

It was time when the ancient empires such as the Roman Empire and the Han Dynasty were established that Christ Jesus appeared in Palestine under the rule of Rome.  Indeed, although the Roman Empire was replaced by the modern Europe and America while the Han Dynasty was replaced by the modern China, power of money (Satan) has not been replaced by the God, Christ Jesus, etc.

In other word, we are still under power of money as people 2,000 years ago, so that we can easily understand the content of the Gospels.  If we were not under the rule of money (Satan) any more, we should be puzzled by the story expressed in the Gospels as to why and how Christ Jesus appeared, acted, and was killed.  

Actually, Christ Jesus did not use money (Satan) or give big money (Satan) to the poor suffering in the human world under the rule of Satan.  The Buddha also rejected money (Satan) but encouraged people to seek for right way of life so that their souls could get rid of Satan's traps.  But Christ Jesus clearly stated that souls of rich men with big money could not be saved from traps of Satan as they could not be accepted in Heaven.  Christ Jesus told to love the God and hate money (Satan) so as to be accepted in Heaven and get eternal happiness.  But, people have loved money (Satan) so much that money has become a kind of religion in the world.  People revere money (Satan) as a god.   Indeed, anybody can see power of money (Satan), but nobody can see the God or Heaven.  Most of people have chosen tangible money (Satan) over the unseen God or Heaven intangible while they are alive in this world.

But what will happen after men die and get into the afterlife?  As for those who do not believe in the afterlife, the distinction between the God and Satan is meaningless, so that they can be more easily handled by Satan. 

There are many reports and theories about the afterlife including near-death experiences.  Some people think that they can enjoy communications with dead men's souls to know the state in the afterlife.  But, the most trustworthy words are those issued by Christ Jesus.  

Christ Jesus simply stated that rich men could not enter Heaven.  No other leaders or founders of religions or religious facts emphasized this relationship between the fate after death and the states in this world.  Indeed, Satan recommends people to become rich as much as possible in this world without minding the afterlife, suggesting that they can be happy both in this world and in the afterlife.  Probably, those who became rich in this world by selling their souls to Satan must feel happy in the hells in their afterlives.  They should spontaneously go to the hells as Swedenborg wrote in the 18th century, avoiding light of truth and love of the God in Heaven.  Anyway, according to the teaching of Christ Jesus, being rich in this world is a one-way ticket to the hells.

But why Christ Jesus try to stop people from going into the hells.  Even the Holy Mother has shown her sadness as She saw saw many people falling into the hells.

It should be because it rejoices Satan who wants to harm the glory of the God as much as possible by taking as many people's souls as possible to the hells before the God finally exterminate Satan, its followers, and the hells.  It is Satan's desperate desire.  And most of people are following Satan with any money (Satan) they could get.  So, the God should be disgusted with people seeking money (Satan) and following Satan. 

As conclusion, the God would forsake the mankind sooner or later or in this century.  The Holy Mother must be extremely sad.  Mad Satan should laugh.  But Christ Jesus must try to save face, since He once preached gospel to people at the expense of His life given by the Most High God who cannot fail.  He should make efforts to save the mankind as much as possible in this century.  So, we should expect Christ Jesus to come back to the human world again.  This is the state of the world in the 21st century.

Become rich with money (Satan) and go to the hells.  Or be poor in this world and get accepted in Heaven.

Anyway, this human world and the spirit world are connected.  But money (Satan) is not effective in the spirit world.  Our civilization based on material desire in this world must be rebuilt on truth and love, since they are effective in the spirit world, too.  Material civilization should be abandoned, and a new civilization without money (Satan) based on spiritual truth and love should be newly created.                  　     

The human beings are in the final stage of the history over past 2,000 years.

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
