This article is written to let you know what are the Christian virtues. Christian virtues are different from the worldly virtues. Christian virtues cannot save you; for Christian virtues are the fruits. You have to become Christians first before you can have Christian virtues.
Aristotle said, “Be a free thinker and don’t accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in.” Although that is not Scripture, the ancient advice of Aristotle is sound. You must not accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in. You cannot think wrong, for thinking has consequences. You ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by human skill and thought. Lest you become an idolater. You ought not to think lightly of the riches of God’s kindness and restrain and patience, lest you delay to repentance and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior now. Jesus warns, Jhn 16:2, “They will ban you from the synagogues, yet the hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering a service to God.” There is an evil religion, whose followers behead and kill Christians daily and commit terrorist acts, and that theythink they are offering a service to God. You ought not to think evil like the mankind in the days of Noah, that every intent of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually. You ought not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think, lest you speak and act like white and black supremacists. If you think deep and realize God rules over the universe, you will use the Word of God to measure and test everything. Truth is offensive.
I think it is very dangerous when a person teaches any Bible subject for money and using his or her own private interpretations of the Scripture. I do not know who on the Internet I happened to see the process diagram as Faith > Virtue > Knowledge > Self-control (Gal 5:23; 2 Pet 1:4) > Steadfastness (Rom 5:3) >Godliness > Brotherly Affection (Philia:) > Love (Agape (Eph 5:2; Mark 12:30-31). I neither see the truth of the order of flow process nor do I believe one virtue leads to another. Someone defines virtue as the most basic category of godly character and behavior. When there is basic category, there must be higher or advanced category.
This article is written to highlight the state of the world is very very bad.
The great majority of people are not responsible, devoid of virtue, acting like animals. National leaders and politicians, business executives are most irresponsible, devoid of virtue. How can there be happiness in life since there is no virtue in this world? But Christians are different, they are
children of God and citizens of Heaven. They do not belong to this world.
Christian virtues are identified and explained.
As Jesus says to His disciples,
Mat 5:14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be
hidden; nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.”
Christians must shine not to glorify themselves, but to glorify our Father
who is in Heaven.
Phl 2:15, “so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent,
children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world.”
Christians must prove themselves in the midst of a crooked and perverse
generation, to appear as lights in the world. We live now in a crooked and
perverse generation.
I. What is virtue
The meaning of virtue depends on what is your point of view or standpoint. The Roman Catholic Church views on virtues may be different from the worldly virtues. In the sight of the world is not the same in the sight of God. The Christian virtues are strictly from the Holy Scriptures, not affected or tainted by institutional or individual views or any civilizations of the world, past or present.
There are many theories and opinions of values and virtues. To prevent
confusion and misunderstanding from the outset there is a need to make
my position clear. Like Martin Luther, I believe only in Sola Scriptura (by Scripture alone), so the position I take and the conclusion I reach may offend some churches, organizations, religions, or individuals. This needs not to be, because I do not sell you anything, and I do not get any money from you. We do not ask for donation. We only want you to know the truth. At the outset you will know that we are not interested in many human theories and views of religions and philosophers ancient and modern. I believe it is most dangerous to teach a Bible subject for money based on private interpretations. I happened to come across on the Internet, someone I do not know who sketched the diagram of Christian virtues which I do not agree and the interpretations which I reject.
II. THE DEFINITION OF VIRTUE
Almost all systematic approaches to ethics have something to say about
what traits count as virtues and about the character of virtue as a whole.
Here we are not interested in formulating a theory of virtue. It is not clear,
and it may be doubtful, whether there is such a thing to make a difference
between intellectual and moral virtues. We are not here to dwell on the
differences on virtues and ethics.
Living according to nature is not Christian virtues. Jesus says, Jhn 3:6,
“That which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been
born of the Spirit is spirit.” Nothing natural is good in itself. There is a vast
difference between flesh and spirit. The worldly man, the flesh, lives
according to nature. Jesus Christ speaks of the nature of the devil is to lie
and kill, there is no truth in him. Sinners are by nature “a wild olive tree.”
Even Apostle Paul admits,Rom 7:18, “For I know that nothing good dwells
in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of
the good is not.” For that reason, Jesus says, Jhn 3:7, “Do not be amazed
that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’A natural life is not good
enough to enter the Kingdom of God, so you must be born again.
A man who has “a wise regard to his own interest” does not mean he has
virtues at all. All white and black supremacists have “a wise regard to their
own interest.” All warmongers, imperialists, colonialists, capitalists,
militarists, monopolists, etc. have a wise regard to their own interests.
They never follow the principle of sympathy for their victims. Even today,
Japan and all its leaders deny their war crimes and refuse to pay
reparations because they have a wise regard to their own interest and so to whitewash their dark history.
In a sense, a virtue is the opposite of a vice, just as truth is the opposite of
Revealed Truth which has nothing to do with the old or new pagan world, or old and new of any world civilization. Beware, secularists including
unbelieving philosophers and theologians who use a vocabulary and terms which do not correspond to the meanings of the Holy Bible. The Word of God does not spring from any man however great or famous, institution, history or civilization. Spiritual things are spiritually discerned.1Co 2:14, “But a natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.” Secular scholars, unbelieving theologians and scientists, however intelligent they may be, are merely natural persons who do not have the knowledge of God because they are devoid of the Spirit of God. Without the Spirit of God, no one has the knowledge of God and the things pertaining to God.
A correct view is to call a spade a spade, what is what, and which is which.
We apply the Word of God to measure and test every human theory, opinion, or wisdom of the world. We never use human theory, theology or philosophy or opinion of man to measure and test the Word of God.
Different frames of reference can lead to confusion or misunderstanding.
The Biblical views are not necessarily coincide with the views of the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic seven cardinal virtues are not necessarily Christian virtues. I will explain later.
The Vatican version of virtues include the list of seven cardinal virtues, namely: prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance, faith, hope, and charity. I
am not saying the seven virtues of the Roman Catholic Church are bad.
They are just not what is presented in the Word of God. As I have said
before, Faith, Hope, and Love are Christian values, not to be counted or
considered as Christian virtues. What is the difference between value and
virtue, I shall explain it later.
Some defines Faith, Hope and Love as Theological Virtues. There are no
such things as what they call theological virtues. We do not accept the
inventions of men.Gal 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace,
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness.”
Eph 5:9, “(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and
righteousness and truth).”
Some classify the fruit of the Spirit as virtues and the fruit of the Light as
virtues. If God means fruit as virtue, He would have called fruit virtue. The
Bible usually means fruit in every good work and increasing in the
knowledge of God.
It is vital to know the difference between what is and what is not. I have no
interest to debate or argue with anyone. Firstly, I do not sell the Bible
knowledge. I preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. Secondly,
I am responsible directly to the Lord Jesus for my work. I do not elicit or
enlist the opinions of any man, great or small.
Plato said something remarkable, “We can easily forgive a child who is
afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”
This is the great tragedy of the world, for hundreds of years Western leaders and politicians are afraid of the light, the light of truth. So they keep on lying, killing, robbing, sanctioning, smearing Russia and China. In fact, Jesus Christ says, Jhn 3:19-21, “And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the Light; for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, so that his deeds will not be exposed. But the one who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds will be revealed as having been performed in God.” How long the West will love the darkness and hate the Light?
There are quite a few teachings, doctrines, lessons about the Biblical
subjects on the Internet for money. Someone may offer you a course on
Christian virtues for money. It is our policy we do not preach the Gospel of
Jesus Christ for money. We do not want donation. We only want you to
know the truth. Most of the materials of so-called Christian teachings
represent private interpretations of the Bible. I do not want to waste my time and efforts to debate or argue with anyone. I do not elicit or enlist the
opinions of any institution, association or individual. However, we agree
with sound words, exhort in sound doctrine, to be sound in the faith, use
sound judgment to present the exact truth in Jesus Christ. Our Biblical
position and views may offend people. Truth is offensive and never inclusive.
For example, if you do not have the Christian virtue of humility, you may act and talk like white and black supremacists who claim and pretend to be Christians. The Christian virtue of humility is something so remarkable that if you think you have it, you do not possess it. If you think you have enough humility, you are lacking humility.
Some hold virtues are being fundamental to Christian ethics. I believe
virtues are not a gift of God in the sense eternal life in Jesus Christ is a gift
of God. All because virtues are things that Christians must do and practice. However, no one is able to practice eternal life.
Let us for the sake of simplicity accept the definition of virtue as “moral
excellence” or “moral quality” for the time being. We are going to focus on the difference between value and virtue.
It requires wisdom to know the difference between value and virtue. A little
incident which illustrates that a person may know the meaning of value
without knowing the word. One day with my little nephew we visited the
home of a friend. Whose children brought out toys to play with Isaac.
Evidently Isaac was interested in their toys, at the time of departure he
wanted to take some toys home. Isaac was a communist, but the children of the friend were capitalists. Isaac’s parents were puzzled what to do about it. An idea struck me and then I told Isaac in an exaggerated way, “You can have that toy but it costs you $100, the other toy $200, and another toy $300…” Isaac paused to think and then said, “It is too expensive and let us go home.” Isaac did not know the word “value” but he had the concept of “value.”
Job 28:12-28, “But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Mankind does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living. The ocean depth says, ‘It is not in me’; And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’ Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it, nor can silver be weighed as its price, It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire, Gold or glass cannot equal it; nor can it be exchanged for articles of pure gold. Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; and the acquisition of wisdom is more valuable than pearls.”
Merriam Webster defines value: something (such as a principle or quality)
Cambridge dictionary defines: the importance or worth of something for
someone. Value boils down to what is important in life. Faith, Hope, Love
are Christian values because their ideals are accepted by all believers or
Christians of all generations and the Word of God says so.
Job 28:13, “Mankind does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.” Job maintains that mankind does not know the
value of wisdom.
Job 38:36, “Who has put wisdom in the innermost being, or given
understanding to the mind.”
God puts wisdom in the innermost being, or given understanding to the
mind. Apparently, the mind is the innermost being. No one knows where the innermost being is, it may be an abstract concept. We need wisdom to know the difference between the Christian values and virtues. The task is
hairsplitting. One aspect it appears to me is sound, while the Christian
values are held by all Christians of all ages; the Christians virtues need to
cultivate and develop individually or personally. The sum of Faith, Hope,
and Love are the shining truths for all believers living on earth. While the
Christian virtues believers must possess them in the mode of addition
individually. The Christian virtues are add-ons to each believer personally.
For that reason, the virtues of one Christian may be higher or lower, more or less than another believer. No Christians have exactly the same and equal virtues.
Pro 2:6,“For the LORD gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge
and understanding.” You can find wisdom in the Word of God. Some call
themselves Christian organizations which do not want the world to know
about them: Access denied. They are also afraid of people knowing their
so-called Christian values. Beware, not all who claim to be Christian are
Christians. My website denies no one, and it is absolutely free. We preach
the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We
only want you to know the truth.We have nothing to hide.
Someone lists 8 core Christian values which I neither accept nor
recommend to anyone. Beware all kinds of lists on Christian values and
Christian virtues may sound good to you until you examine the definition of each. Do not accept anything just because those who promote them call
them “Christian” or “Biblical” or “Evangelical”, etc. The explanations are in the detail of each of them. Beware of private interpretations on any Bible
subject or topic. I do not know one single organization which claims to be
“Christian” and not asking for donation. There are now many secular
organizations in the name of “non-profit” boldly and brazenly and openly
ask for donation. It is our policy to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ
absolutely free. For many years we do not want your donation. We only
want you to know the truth. Just watch out for “the truth” they ask you to
pay for it.
Someone lists 8 fundamental values, namely: grace,hope, faith, justice,
love, joy, service, peace with definitions which I do not think to be Christian and certainly do not recommend them. They are more like social values rather than Christian values. I hold the Christian values (1 Cor. Chapter 13) of Faith, Hope, and Love cover many good things. Christians are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. There are people who think not only we are saved by faith, we are also saved by hope and saved by love. Beware of private interpretations of any Bible subject or topic. 2Pe 1:20, “But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture becomes a matter of someone’s own interpretation.” You know some infamous preachers even made the Holy Bible according to their version and merchandise them for profit.Christians are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not possible to have faith without grace. It is impossible to have Hope without joy. It is impossible for the Apostle to sing at midnight in jail after badly physically abused and not having Hope. It is impossible to have Love and not labor and serve for those who are in need. It is impossible for having Love and practice unrighteousness and injustice. It is impossible for any believer who has Faith, Hope, and Love to be a warmonger and practice lying, killing, robbing, sanctioning and spying and abusing human rights. A social gospel is not the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Watch out the various lists of values and virtues. They may not mean the
same thing to you. Read the definition of each item may reveal the truth to
you. Remember, to use the Word of God to measure and test every theory,
teaching, and opinion of man. It is not old heathen conception of virtues for moral goodness. Virtues involve hearts and minds in Christ.
Job 28:19-28, “The topaz of Cush cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold. Where then does wisdom come from? And where is this place of understanding? It is hidden from the eyes of every living creature, and concealed from the birds of the sky. Abaddon and Death say, With our ears we have heard a report of it.’ God understands its way, and He knows its place. For He looks to the ends of the earth;He sees everything under the Heavens when He imparted weight to the wind, and assessed the waters by measure. When He made a limit for the rain, and a course for the thunderbolt. Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. And to mankind He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”
What is value then? Job in a most interesting way raises the question where wisdom can be found, and maintains that mankind does not know the value of wisdom. Value in Hebrew is ʿēreḵwhich means estimation; price; valuation; order; assessment; – which occurs 33 times in the Old Testament.
The value of a thing can be so great and so high that mankind does not
know its value, such as wisdom. It takes wisdom to know the difference
IF YOU EQUATE YOUR VALUES AND WAY OF LIFE AS THE WAY OF GOD,
YOU BECOME SUPREMACISTS AND PRACTICE IMPERIALISM,
COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, MILITARISM AND RULE THE WORLD OVER
OTHER RACES WITH A SENSE OF RACIAL SUPERIORITY AND RELIGIOUS SANCTITY. THIS IS WHAT HAVE BECOME WESTERN CIVILIZATION AND HOW WESTERN SUPREMACISTS CAME ABOUT. It appears all the more wicked because Western supremacists use God to justify their historical evil deeds and atrocities. The most significant moral characteristic of the West is its hypocrisy even to these days.
IV. CHRISTIAN VIRTUES
Wisdom originates from God. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are
related, although wisdom is higher than knowledge and understanding. So
a person of the world does not and cannot have Christians virtues. To have Christian virtues, you need first to become a Christian. A good tree bears good fruits.
Pro 8:12,“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and discretion.”
Wisdom dwells with prudence.
The Christian values separate Christians from all other faiths or religions.
Christians collectively share the same Faith, Hope, and Love in Christ.
People of other faiths or religions do not have anything in common with
Christians, therefore Christians cannot have fellowship with people of other faiths or religions. A philosopher was mistaken when he said, “Man is the measure of all things.” Men and their words will pass away, but the Words of Jesus will never pass away. We use the Word of God to test and measure all things; we do not and cannot use anything or anyone to test and measure the Word of God.
The Christians values are universal values among Christians but not
universal in the world. Christian values are not considered values by
worldly people or peoples of other faiths. The Christian values of Faith,
Hope and Love are set by God, they are not compatible or just the opposite of the worldly vales of money, power and sex.
I met a man who claimed his Los Angeles Church was the only church in
Los Angeles, all others were not churches at all. When any man or
organizations claim to have monopoly of God on their side, they become
religious fanaticism. There is a religion that claims their god is great, and
so they practice killing people of other faiths. Even though we know that
our God is the only True God, Christians cannot lie or kill or rob other
peoples. The nature of the devil is to lie and kill. It is not the nature of
Christians to lie, to kill and to rob. Phl 4:8, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is
honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellent and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus must think about virtues. Virtue is
whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, whatever is excellent, and whatever is worthy of praise. On the other hand, whatever is not true, whatever is not honorable, whatever is not right, whatever is not pure, whatever is not lovely, whatever is not commendable, whatever is not excellent, whatever is not praiseworthy, — they can never be virtue. Virtue is a moral excellence or a moral quality. Baruch Spinoza was right, “All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.”
Virtue is not a tendency, it is more a fixed set pattern of behavior. Virtue is
not a settled habit of mind. Virtue is more a mature response to a situation.
Virtue does not provide judgment, rather virtue discerns what is good and
right to do. One’s virtues reflect the moral character of the person and who
he is really.
You do not to regulate virtues, virtues that need to be regulated are not
virtues at all. You have to regulate spending, for spending is not virtue. You have to regulate politicking, for politicking is not a virtue. You have to
regulate business, for business is not a virtue. In fact, the evil of capitalism is compounded by unregulated business practices. For example, monopoly runs amok because the government fails to do its duty in regulating trust.
Where monopolies prevail, the government is corrupted. In a bad society, a monopolist becomes the richest man and respected.
Significantly, virtue has such a broad definition. Virtue is whatever is true,
whatever is honorable, what is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is commendable, whatever is excellent, whatever is praise-worthy.
We are told to think about these things. Thinking about virtues help a
person to become virtuous. On the other hand, whatever is not true, not
honorable, not right, not pure, not lovely, not commendable, not excellent,
not praiseworthy — can never become a virtue. It is time to identify the
Christian virtues.
2Pe 1:5-10, “Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your
faithaddvirtue, and in your virtue, knowledge, and in your knowledge,
self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your
perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in
your brotherly kindness, love. For if these qualities are yours and are
increasing, they do not make you useless nor unproductive in the true
knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For the one who lacks these qualities
is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former
sins. Therefore, brothers and sisters, be all the more diligent to make
certain about His calling and choice of you; for as long as you practice
these things, you will never stumble.” Christians need to practice faith,
virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness and love so that they never stumble. Those who practice the Christian virtues will never fall or fail. Those who do not have the Christian virtues will fall into misery.
Laozi said something remarkable, “To become learned, each day add
something. To become enlightened, each day drop something.” To have
Christian virtues, each day we need to add something. To become virtuous, Christians each day need to drop some vices or some bad habits.
Virtue in Greek is aretēwhich means moral goodness; praise; moral
excellence; manliness; valor (excellence intrinsic or attributed); excellent
moral quality; morality; merit; value; – which occurs 5 time in the New
Testament. Virtues are excellent moral qualities. It is time to identify and
understandthe Christian virtues.
Diligence has the meaning of earnestness, with haste. Christians are told to add on virtue to faith …. with haste. It is a Christian virtue to add on
something good each day in your life and practice.
Gal 5:22, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness.”
Do you know the fruit of the Spirit is … joy. Do you know joy is greater and
higher that happiness?
Eph 5:9, “(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness,
and truth),”Fruit in Greek is karposwhich means fruit of the tree; originates or comes from something; work; effect; result; act; deed; product; – which occurs 66 times in the New Testament. Fruit is not virtue, and virtue is not fruit. If virtue were fruit, God would have said so. If we understand fruit to be a product, we may better understand the fruit of the Spirit is the product of the Spirit. The fruit of the Light is the product of the Light, and so on. You can never find a man who is walking in darkness has goodness, righteousness, and truth.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches and practices a false doctrine of piety
contrary to the teaching of the Bible, and produced a serial of related false
teaching such as asceticism, monasticism, celibacy, the holy sacrifice of
the mass, etc. We are not here to correct the errors of Roman Catholicism.
Heb 2:4, “God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.”
The Roman Catholic Catechism defines the meaning of these seven gifts:
“The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are Wisdom,Understanding, Counsel,
Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. It is not that they are bad gifts. From the Old Testament we learn the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. However, these seven gifts of the Holy Spirit were taught by Bonaventure, not by the Scripture. Christians call virtue, fruit, and gift as the Word of God says so. We call the “fruit of the Spirit” as it is written. Christians reject the private interpretation of the Scriptures no matter by whom.
Gal 5:22-25, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow the Spirit as well.”
What the Roman Catholicism teaches are different from the New Testament that reveals specific gifts to the Church.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit are found in 1 Corinthians 12:
and sisters, I do not want you to be unaware. You know that
when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit and there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit to another faithby the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.”
According to the Scriptures cited above, we can identify the spiritual gifts:
Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Distinguishing of
spirits, Tongues, Interpretation of tongues — the nine spiritual gifts. They are quite contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. And do not confuse the words of man with the Word of God. My friend, do not waste your time and effort to learn about the teachings of man. In the knowledge of the Bible, the words of men have no value.
Concerning the Church which is the Body of Christ, this is how it is
organized and ranked. Do not be confused, there is no pope and cardinals,
Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church who is above all.
1Co 12:27-31, “Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. And
God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third
teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and
various kinds of tongues. All are apostles, are they? All are not prophets,
are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with
tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? But earnestly desire the
greater gifts. And yet, I am going to show you a far better way.”
Under Jesus Christ, First Apostles, Second Prophets, Third Teachers, then
Miracles Workers, Healers, Helpers, Administrators, Speakers in Tongues.
Clearly there are twelve Apostles, no new apostles. Outside the Twelve
(Judas was replaced by Paul) Apostles, all who claim to be are false
apostles. I have known preachers all over the world, I have never met a
Prophet. In the New Testament a servant of Christ who is gifted in preachingthe Word or a powerful spokesman of God may be called a Prophet. In the eyes of many, Miracle worker, Healer, and Speaker in tongues may rank very high, but according to the Scripture, Bible Teacher outranks them all, except the Apostles and Prophets.
Among the Christian virtues identified in 2Pe 1:5-10,
1. FAITH
We already know that Faith is a Christian value, we now know that Faith is
also a Christian virtue. Faith is to take hold of the Word of God, have faith in God and do not doubt in one’s heart. Our faith is not contingent on
Augustine, Calvin (a false teacher), Mary, the apostles, pope, or anyone. Our faith is in God and in Jesus Christ. Doubt is dishonoring God, doubt is not a virtue. The correct attitude is like this: Mar 9:24,“Immediately the boy’s father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” We must cry out from our hearts, “Lord, I do believe; help my unbelief.”
Faith in Greek is pistis which means belief; moral conviction of the truth;
trust; confidence in God or in Christ; faithfulness; fidelity; reliance upon
Christ for salvation; the system of Gospel truth itself; the religious belief of Christians; the substance of Christian faith; – which occurs 244 times in the New Testament. There is a difference between faith and the faith. Please read https://williewongthought.hpage.com/faith-and-the-faith.html
Faith has at least two meanings. One is to WHOM you and I believe or trust.
Mar 11:22, “And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.”
Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in
Me.”
Jhn 3:18, “The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does
not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the
name of the only Son of God.” Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.” This is the first meaning of faith, faith in God, believe in Jesus Christ the Son of God who died for our sins and rose again from the dead. Act 20:21, “solemnly testifying, to both Jews and Greeks ofrepentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The second meaning of faith. 1Co 16:13, “Be on the alert, stand firm in the
Faith, act like men, be strong.” The Faith means the body of beliefs we all
Christians of all generations accept. The first meaning of faith is in WHOM
we believe. The second meaning of faith is in WHAT we believe. Christians
believe the Holy Bible is the Word of God, infallible, supreme, absolute,
ultimate, and eternal. We believe God created the universe and mankind. We believe God sent His Son Jesus Christ from Heaven down to earth to save mankind. We believe the Church is the Body of Christ. We believe Jesus Christ rose from the dead to justify believers. We believe Jesus Christ ascended to the highest Heaven and sat on the right hand of God. We believe in the Holy Spirit who lives inside believers and leads us to all truths. We believe Jesus Christ is coming again to reign with the saints for
eternity in the Paradise of God.
You cannot say you believe in God and yet practice lying, killing, robbing,
sanctioning, oppressing, spying, attacking, threatening, and committing
terrorist acts because that is contrary to the Faith.
2Co 13:5, “Test yourselves to see if you are in the Faith; examine
yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus
Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test.”
From time to time, Christians need to test themselves to see if they are in
the Faith. Through the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ is in believers. Do not be led astray by prosperity gospel, false prophets and false teachers.
Gal 3:23,“But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the Law,
being confined for the Faith that was destined to be revealed.”
The Old Testament was kept under the Law, the New Testament is the Faith
which was revealed through Jesus Christ. Christianity is the Revealed
religion, all others are man-made religions. There are two types of truth, the verified truth and the Revealed truth. Human and scientific truth must be verified. The Revealed truth is the truth of Jesus Christ which science and philosophy cannot reach.
Eph 4:13,“until we all attain to the unity of the Faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.”
There cannot be the unity of the Faith without the knowledge of the Son of
God. Therefore Christians cannot be unified with the one-world religion. A
mature Christian has attained the unity of the Faith which belongs to the
fullness of Christ. The knowledge of the Son of God unifies all believers in
the Faith. Denominations divide the Church. There is a Satanic working that attempts organic unity of all Christian churches. We do not bow to anyone but Jesus Christ, who is the Head of the Church, not the Roman Catholic pope. Liberalism or Modernism also attempts to divide the Church through false doctrines and heresies. Christians can never have organic unity with all other religions because our Faith centers on One Lord, One Faith.
1Ti 4:6, “In pointing out these things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the Words of the Faith and of the good doctrine which you have been following.”
Christians are supposed to be constantly nourished on the Words of the
Faith and of the good doctrine which the Apostles had been following and
teaching. Christians must never go astray from the Faith. Believers must
be sound in the Faith. There is no compromise about the Faith.
What are Christians have to do with the Faith?
Heb 12:2, “looking only at Jesus, the Originator and Perfecter of the Faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
Firstly, we are looking only at Jesus, and no other. Jesus is the Originator
and Perfecter of the Faith.
1Ti 6:12, “Fight the good fight of faith; take hold of the eternal life to which
you were called, and for which you made the good confession in the
presence of many witnesses.”
Secondly, Fight the good fight of faith. Christians were called to take hold
of the eternal life.
Jde 1:3,“Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our
common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you
contend earnestly for the Faith that was once for all time handed down to
the saints.”
Thirdly, all believers sanctified by the precious blood of Jesus and the Holy Spirit are saints on earth. Christians must contend earnestly for the most holy Faith. It means we must struggle and fight to give the reason of our Faith. The meaning of faith also must include faithfulness.
3Jo 1:3, “It gave me great joy when some believers came and testified
about your faithfulness to the truth, telling how you continue to walk in it.”
Christians must also have faithfulness to the truth in Christ.
2。 Virtue
Wisdom originates from God. Wisdom, knowledge and understanding are
related, although wisdom is higher than knowledge and understanding. It
requires wisdom to know the Christian virtues.
Pro 8:12,“I, wisdom, dwell with prudence, and I find knowledge and
discretion.”
Wisdom dwells with prudence. Wisdom recognizes virtue is moral
goodness or moral excellence. God does not judge the collective behavior
of humanity, every person is held responsible for his own individuality. As
Isaac Watts had put it, “Vice and virtue chiefly imply the relation of our
actions to men in this world; sin and holiness rather imply their relation to
God and the other world.”
If we understand that virtue is a moral excellent quality, then we must agree with Aristotle who said, “Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” For example, we need to apply diligence as a habit in all things we do. We cannot be diligent only in one act. We have to develop diligence as a way of doing things, as a way of life. We need to develop a habit of getting up early in the morning. We need to develop a habit on going to work on time. We need to develop a habit of finishing what we are doing. We need to develop a habit of cleanliness. We need to develop a habit of thrift and hard work. We need to practice the Protestant ethics as a way of life. Bad habits are enemies of virtue. Drinking and smoking are bad habits. Laziness is a bad habit. Sloppiness is a bad habit. Lack of organization is a bad habit. Quick criticism is also a bad habit. Borrowing is a bad habit. Carelessness is a bad habit. Poor attitude is a bad habit. The more good habits we develop, the more virtuous we can become. Self-reflection or self-examination is a positive habit of self-correcting. Thank God for giving me a gift for every sermon I deliver I will go through a process to check on what I was saying may be proper or not. We can agree with Soren Kierkegaard, “Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.” It was Confucius who said, “Men’s natures are alike; it is their habits that separate them.”
Habits separate a virtuous man from a not virtuous. Then, how important it
is to develop good habits. Lao Tzi has something interesting, “Watch your
thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become
character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.”
How to develop virtue which is moral excellence, and anything excellent is
both difficult and rare. I believe Lao Tzi had the right idea, secularly
speaking, “Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great
things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with
a single step.” Many a mickle makes a muckle. A great forest is set aflame
by a small fire. Therefore, do not despise small things.
Pro 30:24-28, “Four things are small on the earth, but they are exceedingly
wise. The ants are not a strong people, but they prepare their food in the
summer. The rock hyraxes are not a mighty people, yet they make their
houses in the rocks. The locusts have no king, yet all of them go out in
ranks. The lizard you may grasp with the hands, yet it is in kings’ palaces.”
I agree with Marcus Aurelius who said, “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.” After dialog with Biden, the great leader of Russia, Putin said, “There is no happiness in life. There is only a mirage on the horizon, so we will cherish that.” I do not know about cherishing a mirage just as I cannot cherish a lie. When the leader of the sole superpower entertains the unsuitable notions of world domination, absolute military supremacy, how could there be any happiness in life for anyone. It is impossible to have every human being to possess virtue without vice. The world is not a happy place after all.
George Washington was right when he said, “I hope I shall possess
firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable
of all titles, the character of an honest man.” Probably, you can hardly find
men like Washington in American politics today. Most of them want money, power, and sex. Where there is no truth and integrity, you cannot find a honest man.
Someone said, “Too much virtue can be criminal.” I have never met a man
of too much virtues. There are many criminals in the world, not one of them has virtue.
It was Benjamin Franklin who said, “Thirteen virtues necessary for true success: temperance, silence, order,resolution, frugality, industry,
sincerity, justice, moderation,cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility.” If Franklin were alive in America today, he would find chastity and humility old fashioned. In America today true success is measured only by how much money and power you possess. Benjamin Franklin was a man of worldly success. Humility is a Christian virtue. Jhn 13:12-17, “Then, when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, “Do you know what I have done for you? You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’; and you are correct, for so I am. So if I, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I gave you an example, so that you also would do just as I did for you. Truly, truly I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.” For a Christian, the true success is not only knowledge of the Lord, but follow His example and do the will of God. Jesus gave an example of humility. Virtue is neither a shade nor an abstraction, we had better follow Jesus and do these things.
I like what Pythagoras said, “Wealth is a weak anchor, and glory cannot support a man; this is the law of God, that virtue only is firm, and cannot be shaken by a tempest.” The tempest of life is trouble and tribulation. Prosperity is easy, adversity is hard. A virtuous man can stand the tempest. I agree with William Shakespeare, “In struggling with misfortunes lies the true proof of virtue.”
Apparently, most people would agree with Aristotle, “Happiness is
prosperity combined with virtue.” Now what is adversity combined with virtue then? A man who can survive adversity combined with virtue would not have difficulty in surviving prosperity combined with virtue.
Virtue is abstract, but not an abstraction. Epicurus said, “Virtue
consisteth of three parts, —temperance, fortitude, and justice.” Virtue does not change with age. What is virtue to a youth is equally a virtue to a senior citizen. Virtue is its own reward at any age. Daniel Webster said, “A country cannot subsist well without liberty, not liberty without virtue.” The problem of America today is with neither liberty nor virtue. Someone has well said, “Virtue consists, not in abstaining from vice, but in not desiring it.” I also agree with this, “To walk safely through the maze of human life, one needs the light of wisdom and the guidance of virtue.” Jesus Christ says, Jhn 8:12, “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I am the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” As children of light, Christians do not walk in darkness.
Man never rises by sin, and no man ever falls by virtue either. I agree with Aristotle, “All virtue is summed up in dealing justly.” Those who want “America First” have neither virtue nor dealing justly. Man is not pure, therefore he does not have pure virtue. Someone said, “Virtue alone is sufficient to make a man great, glorious, and happy.” However, a virtuous man may wish to be happy, but he is not so much seeking to be great and glorious. I agree with Alexander Pope, “The difference is too nice – Where ends the virtue or begins the vice.” Virtue and vice do not coexist. Virtues cannot be secret, for the light shines. Lord Chesterfied was right, “Vice, in its true light, is so deformed, that it shocks us at first sight; and would
hardly ever seduce us, if it did not at first wear the mask of some virtue.” Watch out for vicious people who wear the mask of some virtue.
Just like a warmonger covers himself under the pretext of freedom, justice, human rights, and democracy. I also agree with Horace, “The good hate sin because they love virtue.” Jesus Christ says,
Mat 6:24,“No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.” The funny followers and preachers of prosperity gospel is their pursuit of wealth. Plutarch was right, “It is the admirer of himself, and not the admirer of virtue, that thinks himself superior to others.” This is how a person becomes a supremacist who thinks himself superior to others.Western supremacists are great admirers of themselves, so much so that they act and think themselves superior to all others. For that reason, they never examine themselves or have self reflection on their past and present. They just take liberty to target and tarnish Russia and China without basis. They use sanctions as if they are corporate executives who use petty cashto benefit themselves.
Virtue is already defined by Phl 4:8, “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellent and if anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
Virtue is a moral quality which has a broad and vast signification. For virtue is whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, whatever is excellent, and whatever is praiseworthy. Not only we need to possess and practice virtues, we need to think about virtues. John Ruskin had well said, “Anything which elevates the mind is sublime. Greatness of matter, space, power, virtue or beauty, are all sublime.”
3. Knowledge
We live in a most remarkable age. The world has acquired more knowledge in the last 50 years than in the last 5,000 years. Yet men by science and philosophy could not find the exact knowledge of salvation. Tons of knowledge do not bring happiness and peace in the world.
Science is never a sure knowledge. Science has a lot of buts, ifs, might bes and don’t knows. JACINTA BOWLER writes,
“Earth Has a 27.5-Million-Year ‘Heartbeat’, But We Don’t Know What Causes It. “But if Earth really does have a geologic ‘heartbeat’, it might be due to something a little closer to home.” Science at best is the organized human knowledge at a given time and place, always progressive and tentative, never absolute, infallible, or ultimate. It is always amusing when scientists estimate something or event in the differences of billions and millions of years. Our destiny cannot hang on something that is not certain and sure.
The best wisdom of the world can offer is, “Know thyself.” A philosopher was wrong when he said, “The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.” This is the wisdom of self-centered world. The wisdom from the above says, “Know the Lord.” Only God is perfect in knowledge because God is Omniscient. Unlike man, God’s knowledge is never progressive and tentative. The knowledge of God is absolute, infallible, ultimate, supreme and eternal. God knows everything and the end from the beginning. Nothing surprises God. For God controls time and events.
A philosopher was wrong when said, “Life comes from the earth and life returns to the earth.” Life does not come from the earth, and life does not return to the earth. The body comes from the earth and returns to the earth. The great difference between an earthly man and a spiritual man is this: An earthly man thinks of earthly things; a spiritual man think of things above.
A philosopher said, “The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.” The philosopher may be half right if he thought of those who have religion with superstitions. Poor thing, the pagan philosopher did not know what Christians know: 1Jo 5:19-21, “We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
Knowledge in Greek is gnōsis which means science; general intelligence; moral wisdom; understanding of what is what; objective understanding; apprehending truth or fact through cognition; – which occurs 29 times in the New Testament.
Psa 92:6,“A stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a foolish person understand this.”
A Christian is not a stupid person. A stupid person is devoid of knowledge. Ignorance is no virtue.
Pro 1:7,“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.” Fools hate knowledge. By human efforts and wisdom, no man can discover the knowledge of God. Rom 11:33,“Oh, the depth of the riches, both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways.”
Knowledge is part of the process of Christians growing in grace. 2Co 4:6,“For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.”
Christians are no longer blind because God has shone in our hearts. The Light of life gives believers the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
Eph 1:17, “that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”
Christians have the Spirit of Christ in them. Jesus Christ came to the world to reveal the Father. By the revelation of Jesus Christ we have the knowledge of God. Christianity is the Revealed religion, the knowledge of God and the truth of Christ cannot be found in any other religion. All believers have the unity of faith and the knowledge of His Son Jesus Christ. Christians have received the knowledge of the truth.
Col 1:10, “so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God.”
The knowledge of Christians can be increased just as we can grow in grace of our Lord.
A philosopher said, “All our knowledge begins with the senses, proceeds then to the understanding, and ends with reason. There is nothing higher than reason.” The philosopher was wrong, there is Revealed Knowledge higher and beyond the senses. No one can by his senses and wisdom to discover God. Science cannot know and find God, for God is Spirit. Our senses and science cannot study and know that which is invisible, supernatural, supreme, ultimate and eternal. Jesus Christ came down to earth from Heaven to reveal God; He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. The Revelation of Jesus Christ is higher than reason. The Truth of Christ is greater and higher than reason.
When a theory proves extremely successful in predicting observations, even scientists forget that they are supposed to be ready to discard the theory objectively and without regret when it fails. This is probably because they have come to believe their theory is actually “true” rather than just a successful model. The big steps in science have been taken by those bold enough to believe the observations rather than the theories. In astronomy, for example, Kepler believed the observations of Tycho which showed that the planets move in elliptical orbits around the sun, rather than perfect circles as Copernicus had postulated. Kepler’s bold step resulted in what are now known as Kepler’s laws.”
According to The Limits of Science by Ronald W. Dworkin“Even the most perfect concepts in the hard sciences are unreal. For example, Newton’s concept of absolute motion yielded a mathematical formula for planetary movement under certain conditions. Yet that mathematical formula does not deal with actual facts; it deals with a mental supposition, that there is one body moving alone in absolute space — a case that has never occurred and can never occur. The path it predicts is unreal. True, the formula is very accurate, and it lets scientists predict celestial events, but previous formulas also foretold astronomical events with some accuracy. Newton’s formula based on absolute motion is a more convenient fiction than prior formulas, but no less a fiction.”
The Word of God is the exact truth of Christ as revealed by God. Luk 1:4,“so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught.”
Science is never the exact truth. Science is always progressive, tentative, and never absolute or ultimate. Secular knowledge makes people puffed up, spiritual knowledge makes Christians humble. Why? 1Co 13:9-12, “For we know in part and prophesy in part but when the Perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.” The Holy Bible gives Christians something in advance: When Jesus Christ returns and Christian will see Him face to face, and then we will have full knowledge.
Isa 11:9, “They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.”
The above cited Scripture seems to refer to the 1,000 year peaceful reign of Jesus Christ on earth.
How to grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus Christ? By studying the Word of Truth carefully, praying in the Spirit earnestly, and practicing the Christian values and virtues sincerely.
Do you know scientific knowledge, technical knowledge, Wall Street finance knowledge, medical knowledge and all human knowledge someday will pass away and there will be no use for them? Don’t be surprised even faith and spiritual knowledge will pass away. When Christians face God face to face, there is no need to believe anymore. When the blessed hope is realized in the Kingdom of Heaven, you do not hope for what you already have and see.
1Co 13:12,“For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.”
1Jo 3:2, “Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
The Scriptures cited above give us an advanced wonderful knowledge no scientists or philosophers can dream of.
4. Self-Control
The wisdom of the world advocates self-will, self-seeking, self-serving, self-exaltation, self-indulgence, self-advancement, self-promotion, self-glorification, and self-love. The wisdom from above admonishes self-denial, self-discipline and self-control. Self-control in Greek is egkrateiawhich means temperance; the virtue of one who masters his desires and passions, esp. his sensual appetites (Strong’s Concordance); continence; self-discipline; – which occurs 4 times in the New Testament.
Confucius said, “A man who has committed a mistake and does not correct it is committing another mistake.” Self-control is correcting your every mistake. What is good about self-control? At lease this benefit. 1Co 9:25-27, “Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. So they do it to obtain a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. Therefore I run in such a way as not to run aimlessly; I box in such a way, as to avoid hitting air but I strictly discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.”
Do you know life is a game? You need to strictly discipline yourself if you run to achieve something.
Confucius said, “When anger rises, think of the consequences.” To implement self-control, think of the consequences in whatever you do. For every action has consequences. Self-control acts as a check, so that whatever you do, do not cause yourself or others harm.
5. Perseverance
Perseverance in Greek ishypomonēwhich means patience; patient continuance; steadfastness; constancy; sustaining; cheerful or hopeful endurance; forbearance; sufferance; – which occurs 32 times in the New Testament. In Chinese language, the word “patience” has a knife in the heart. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was right, “Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”
Albert Einstein had well said, “It’s not that I’m so smart, it’s just that I stay with problems longer.” To give up is to fail. Almost all who succeeded had perseverance and never give up. In the face of adversity, perseverance is a useful virtue. The inventor of the light bulb failed many times but he did not give up. So Thomas Edison said, “Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” Do you know Edison failed 10,000 times before he perfected in his incandescent electric light bulb? Another person who had learned something in life, Henry Ford said, “Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.” Life experiences should teach us to act more intelligently.
Jas 5:10-11, “As an example, brothers and sisters, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.”
If you have not read the Book of Job, do it now. Christians are not easy to live in this evil world, we need to be patient and strengthen our hearts. It seems that Confucius had the wisdom when he said, “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” A man who cannot be stopped by anything is stronger than a fortified city. I like Benjamin Disraeli who said, “Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.”
When in philosophy, Ralph Waldo Emerson was usually right, who said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Except Jesus Christ, no one who ever lived in this world and never falling. It is not so much about glory, it is sure a virtue for a fallen man to rise again.
Pro 24:16, “For a righteous person falls seven times and rises again, but the wicked stumble in time of disaster.”
If you are a Christian, you have to learn to rise again even you have fallen seven times. It is a virtue for a fallen person to rise again.
As I said before, Ralph Waldo Emerson was usually right when he spoke of philosophy; but he was wrong when he spoke about spiritual matters. He said, “Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.” If that be the case, you can save yourself. First, there is no peace on earth.
Jhn 14:27, “Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful.” Secondly, only Jesus Christ who rose from the dead has overcome the world. No one can save himself, even Ralph Waldo Emerson could not save himself.
Jhn 16:33,“These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
We Christians take courage, because Jesus Christ is the Victor who has overcome the world. Our Lord and Savior has overcome the world.
6. Godliness
Godliness in Greek is eusebeiawhich means holiness; piety towards God; respect; reverence; saintliness; piousness; – which occurs 15 times in the New Testament. Godliness is the quality like God, the most holy virtue. It is well said, Cleanliness is next to godliness.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches and practices a false doctrine of piety contrary to the teaching of the Bible, and produced a series of related false teaching of asceticism, monasticism, celibacy, the holy sacrifice of the mass, the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, etc. We reject the teachings of any man or institution. We are not here to correct the errors of Roman Catholicism. Please read:
“The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord. “
Protestant churches do not teach the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit as found in the Roman Catholic Catechism. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit, His filling and indwelling of the believer bringing forth the “fruit of the Spirit.”
This fruit of the Spirit is evident product from a life in which the Spirit of God is living and directing. The fruit of the Spirit, as listed in Galatians 5, is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The fruit of the Spirit composes of nine virtues. When the Bible calls fruit, we call fruit. When the Bible calls gifts, we call gifts. When the Bible calls virtues, we call virtues. God is not the author of confusion.
We do not confuse the Word of God with the words of men.
What the Catholic teaches are different from the New Testament that reveals specific gifts to the Church. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit was taught by Bonaventure, not by the Scripture.
Heb 2:4, “God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders, and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.”
The Roman Catholic Catechism defines the meaning of these seven gifts:
“The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit are Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Fortitude, Knowledge, Piety, and Fear of the Lord.” It is not that they are bad gifts. The seven gifts of the Holy Spirit were taught by Bonaventure, not by the Scripture. Christians call virtue, fruit, and gift as the Word of God says so. We call the “fruit of the Spirit” as it is written. Christians reject the private interpretation of the Scriptures no matter by whom.
Gal 5:22-25, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let’s follow the Spirit as well.”
What the Word of God says of the fruit of the Spirit is composed of nine virtues. What the Roman Catholicism teaches are different from the New Testament that reveals specific gifts to the Church.
Gifts of the Holy Spirit are found in 1 Corinthians 12:
1Co12:1-11,“Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers and sisters,
I do not want you to be unaware. You know that when you were pagans, you were led astray to the mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says, “JESUS is accursed”; and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord. There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons. But to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, and to another the effecting of miracles, and to another prophecy, and to another the distinguishing of spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, and to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.”
According to the Scriptures, we can identify the spiritual gifts: Wisdom, Knowledge, Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, Distinguishing of spirits, Tongues, Interpretation of tongues — the nine spiritual gifts. They are quite contrary to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church. And do not confuse the words of man with the Word of God. My friend, do not waste your time and effort to learn about the teachings of man.
Concerning the Church which is the Body of Christ, this is how it is organized and ranked. Do not be confused, there is no pope and cardinals, Jesus Christ is the Head of the Church who is above all.
1Co 12:27-31, “Now you are Christ’s body, and individually parts of it. And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets,
third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
administrations, and various kinds of tongues. All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they? All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they? But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And yet, I am going to show you a far better way.”
Under Jesus Christ, First Apostles, Second Prophets, Third Teachers, then Miracles Workers, Healers, Helpers, Administrators, Speakers in Tongues. Clearly there are twelve Apostles, no new apostles. Outside the Twelve (Judas was replaced by Paul) Apostles, all who claim to be are false apostles. I have known preachers all over the world, but I have never met a Prophet. In the New Testament a servant of Christ who is gifted in preaching the Word or a powerful spokesman of God may be called a Prophet. I cannot honestly identify a New Testament prophet in my lifetime. In the eyes of many, Miracle worker, Healer, and Speaker in tongues may rank very high, but according to the Scripture, Bible Teacher outranks them all.
1Ti 4:8, “for bodily training is just slightly beneficial, but godliness is beneficial for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.”
There is no virtue like godliness because it is beneficial for all things; it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come. Christians need to discipline ourselves for the purpose of godliness. Christians are to conform to the doctrines of godliness. False preachers use godliness as a means of gain. I often wonder why quite a few men who use preaching of the Gospel to get rich. Western leaders and politicians take pleasure to hold to a form of godliness as they propagandize justice, freedom, democracy, human rights, etc. that they themselves never practice.
Christians ought to be in holy conduct and godliness.
2Pe 1:3-4, “for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and virtue. Through these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust.” Corruption and lust are contrary to godliness. Corruption and lust are characterized by the present world.
A man was so wrong that he said, “All thinking men are atheists.” Consequently, he killed himself. Apparently, his thinking could not save himself.
Psa 4:3, “But know that the Lord has set apart the godly person for Himself; the LORD hears when I call to Him.”
Christians are godly persons for the Lord. The godly ones rejoice in what is good. The godly ones sing praise to the Lord for He answers prayers.
Psa 37:28, “For the LORD loves justice And does not abandon His godly ones; they are protected forever, but the descendants of the wicked will be eliminated.”
This is a precious promise of the Lord to His godly ones. The Lord does not abandon His godly ones. They are protected forever. This divine promise is better than the nuclear umbrella.
Jhn 11:25-26, “Jesus said to her, “I AM the Resurrection and the Life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”
The lives of the godly ones are with Christ hidden in God.
Jhn 10:28-29, “and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
Thus Christians have eternal security, upon the Word of Jesus, they will never perish.
There is another promise for the godly.
2Pe 2:9, “then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment.”
Jealousy is usually bad, but godly jealousy is good.
2Co 11:2, “For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.”
Spiritually speaking, Christians are as a pure virgin betrothed to one Husband Jesus Christ.
How should a Christian live in this world? Live godly.
2Ti 3:12, “Indeed, all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted.”
There are three adverbs that describe how Christians live in this present age: live sensibly, righteously and godly.
Tit 2:12, “instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age.”In order to live sensibly, righteously and godly in this present age, Christians need to deny ungodliness. You will do well if you live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age. Western leaders and politicians live just as the opposite how Christians should live. There are no sense, no righteousness, and no godliness in them.
Some liberal theologian said, “Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved
in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.” Absolutely wrong.
Someone said, “Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we are saved by love.” Absolutely wrong. Jhn 19:28-30, “After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture would be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was standing there; so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a branch of hyssop and brought it up to His mouth. Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.”
Well, you say. That is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, so He can accomplish the task of redemption alone. Now look at a man,of the same nature as we are.
Act 14:9-15, “This man was listening to Paul as he spoke. Paul looked at him intently and saw that he had faith to be made well and he said with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!” And the man leaped up and began to walk. When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, “The gods have become like men and have come down to us!” And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. Moreover, the priest of Zeus, whose temple was just outside the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard about it, they tore their robes and rushed out into the crowd, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men, of the same nature as you, preaching the Gospel to you, to turn from these useless things to a living God, who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND EVERYTHING THAT IS IN THEM.”
Near the end of his departure, Paul said, 2Ti 4:6-8, “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course,I have kept the faith in the future there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.”
Well, you say, the mighty Apostle Paul of course he could finish the course.
Now look at an ordinary woman. Mat 26:6-13, “Now when Jesus was in
Bethany, at the home of Simon the Leper, a woman came to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive perfume, and she poured it on His head as He was reclining at the table. But the disciples were indignant when they
saw this, and said, “Why this waste? For this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the money given to the poor.”
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you bothering the woman? For she has done a good deed for Me. For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me. For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial. Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be told in memory of her.”
You say, it is too late because Jesus had ascended to Heaven, He is no longer on earth. What a good deed we can do for Him?
Wrong again. For Jesus says, Mat 25:40, “And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it for one of the least
of these brothers or sisters of Mine, you did it for Me.’
If you do a good deed for the least of Christian brothers and sisters, you do it for Jesus. So whatever virtuous thing you do for Jesus, it can be accomplished alone; you can accomplish in your lifetime.
Some 500 years ago, the words of Martin Luther still reverberate in my mind, “Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise.” This was one man alone who stood firm in the faith and challenged the mighty Roman Empire, and the powerful Roman Catholic Church. In my opinion, Martin Luther, outside the Bible, was the greatest man ever lived in history. Do not confuse Martin Luther with an immoral political preacher who took his name and preached a false gospel.
7. Brotherly kindness
I am inclined to think “brotherly kindness” refers to the general and generous kindness toward Christian brothers and sisters, in other words,
the members of the household of God. Brotherly kindness in Greek is philadelphiawhich means brotherly love; love of the brethren; fraternal affection; benevolence; – which occurs 6 times in the New Testament.
“Whenever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness,” said Lucius Annaeus Seneca. It is true, if you are inclined and want to do some kindness, there are plenty of opportunities.
Gun violence is characteristic of American society and contrary to brotherly kindness. According to https://everytownresearch.org/report/gun-violence-in-america/: “Gun Deaths by Intent, Average Deaths per Year 1 Total 38,826. The US gun homicide rate is 25 times that of other high-income countries.”
“February 26, 2019. According to the National Crime Victimization Survey, 467,321 persons were victims of a crime committed with a firearm in 2011.[1] In the same year, data collected by the FBI show that firearms were used in 68 percent of murders, 41 percent of robbery offenses and 21
Guns violence is a thousand times worse than abuses of human rights. Because these are abuses of human lives. American leaders and politicians are directly responsible for this carnage and slaughter in America. For a number of years, they have practically done nothing. Because they have been bought and controlled by the gun lobby, and National Riffle Association (NRA). They should have outlawed manufacture, sale, and possession of guns. Anyone who commits a murder with gun should automatically be sentenced to death penalty without appeal.
Years ago I was in Scandinavia. I asked a 12-year old Danish girl if she would like to go to America. Her emphatic no answer puzzled me. I asked her for a reason. She said, she did not want to be shot dead. Today is much worse than 45 years ago. The chances of Americans being shot dead is much much higher now than ever.
Brotherly kindness is the opposite of gun violence. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of aggression. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of sanction. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of oppression. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of dictatorship. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of domination. Brotherly kindness is the opposite of destruction. John Wesley said something most incredible, “Do all the good you can. By all the means you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.”
Do you know little children have the innate ability to recognize a person who is kind or not. They avoid bad people. Mother Teresa said something good, “Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own houses…kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile, kindness. “ You can know what kind of a supervisor he or she is by just looking.
Do you know a man who has a very beautiful wife is in great danger? Thousands of years ago it was so, and it is so even nowadays. This was a historical fact: Gen 20:11-14, “Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not
the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, “This is the kindness which you will show to me: everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.” Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him.”
Here is another historical fact. Jonathan and David were very good friends. When David became king, he was looking to show kindness to the survival
of the former king Saul.
2Sa 9:6-7, “Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, “Mephibosheth.” And he said, “Here is your servant!” Then David said to him, “Do not be afraid, for I will assuredly show kindness to you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and I will restore to you all the land of your grandfather Saul; and you yourself shall eat at my table regularly.” So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table as one of the king’s sons.
However, the best brotherly kindness is not to give to your relatives and friends, but to strangers. Once I was in Oslo, Norway. I showed the address to a Norwegian young man who happened to be there. We were strangers. I asked if he knew the place. He said he knew and he also volunteered to take me there because lest I would get lost. Based on experience and observation, I concluded Norwegians are the most civilized people in the world. A person is civilized not because the way he treats his friends and relatives, but the nice way he treats strangers.
In comparison, this was a sad but true story. A Swedish girl came to see America, she thought of saving some money by hitchhiking from San Francisco to Los Angeles, as many Scandinavian boys and girls do all the time in their country. The Swedish girl was killed and her father came to Los Angeles to pick up her dead body. A white American girl told me when she arrived at Detroit the first time, many blacks acted they wanted to eat her up.
Try the black taxi driver in Washington, D.C. to verify what I said.
In America, if a stranger acted familiar and approached you, that signals a great danger is going to happen to you. Consequently, it is a very bad cultural phenomenon, you cannot talk to American children who do not
know you because they were taught not to speak with strangers. They are afraid of strangers.
Jesus tells us a very touching story. Luk 10:30-37, “Jesus replied and said, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he encountered robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead. And by coincidence a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan who was on a journey came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own animal, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return, I will repay you.’ Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?” And he said, “The one who showed compassion to him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.” If you know Samaritans and Jews had no dealings, this story would be even more meaningful to you.
8. Love
Love in Greek is agapēwhich means charity; affection; good will; benevolence; brotherly love; an object of endearment; unselfish concern or care; – which occurs 116 times in the New Testament.
Someone said, “Forgiveness is the final form of love.” There is some truth
in it. But Jesus says, “Love your enemies.” This is the highest love. It is
most difficult to love the unlovable, the unworthy.
Mat 5:43-48, “You have heard that it was said, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may prove yourselves to be sons of your Father who is in Heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward do have?
Even the tax collectors, do they not do the same? And if you greet only
your brothers and sisters, what more are you doing than others? Even the Gentiles, do they not do the same? Therefore you shall be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect.”
It is one thing to forgive your enemy, it is another thing to love him. Jesus the Good Shepherd and the Great Shepherd expects His followers to do “more” and demands His disciples perfection as our Heavenly Father is perfect. So, love is the perfect virtue.
The cross of Christ forever symbolizes a cosmic as well as historic truth. The truth is not so much love conquers the world, but it touches and grieves the heart of God deeply that His Son was slaughtered on earth so that He purchased people for God with His own blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
Christianity demands both the love of God and the love of man as fundamental to the true religion. Jesus Christ makes it clear, upon these two commandments “hang the whole Law and the Prophets.” So Christianity is the true religion of love. Those who practice hate, unrighteousness and terrorism are not compatible with the Bible. It is impossible for a Christian to be a warmonger, liar, killer, and robber. For that reason the West (Europe and America) in the last 500 years has practiced a false version of Christianity to this day in terms of imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, supremacism, militarism, monopolism, and world dictatorship and domination.
The Word of God (1 Cor Chapter 13) makes love the greatest of all Christian graces. Whether man’s dealings with God or man’s dealings with man must be based on love. The highest and most perfect kind of love must be reserved toward God. The love of God is the greatest and highest.
Love varies according various relationship. I believe it is wrong and even blasphemous to apply the love of God for any human relationship. Jesus makes it clear, the love of neighbor as second to God. Luk 10:27, “And He answered, “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH,
AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” The best a Christian can do is to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus also says to the world including His disciples, Mat 10:37, “The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” There is no confusion in the Word of God.
What is love then? What is the definition of love?
Merriam Webster defines love as “strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties.” Collins defines love “is the feeling that a person’s happiness is very important to you, and the way you show this feeling in your behavior towards them.” The world describes love has something to do with sex. For that reason, many Americans mistake sex for love. To define “love does no wrong” is not enough. I fact, I do no wrong to a certain race of people, because they are morally the worst and physically the ugliest of humankind, I do not have love for them at all. I hate evil and hypocrisy. However, this is the safest definition for love. 1Jo 4:7, “Beloved, let’s love one another; for love is from God, and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.” Love is from God, hatred is from the devil.
I agree with Ovid, “If you want to be loved, be lovable.” I have met millions of peoples in this world, sad and sorry, most of them are not lovable. The worst are those who are most despicable that I wished I had never known them. I discover, however, a plain person who has virtues can become lovable. The truth that strikes me most and makes me humble is the fact God loves human beings who are not lovable. I also agree with Augustine who said, “Love is the beauty of the soul.” And I think William James is right, “The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human can alter his life by altering his attitude.” If a human can alter his attitude, he may become lovable. Rene Descartes had discovered something, “Conquer yourself rather than the world.” The hardest thing in the world is to conquer yourself. The whole Western civilization is wrong because it wants to conquer the world. Not only the West wants to conquer the world, it wants to conquer the world by force. Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Julius Caesar, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Hideki Tojo, Japanese emperor, Stalin, … all had failed by force. The American nuclear military might will not be able to save itself.
CONCLUSION
Undoubtedly, values are of greatest importance in one’s life. Therefore, Christian valuesare the principles that a follower or disciple of Jesus Christholdsasimportant—the principles of life that Jesus taught, the Christian way of life. Christian values don’t change over time. Christians values remain throughout the Christian life.
Virtue is aqualityconsideredmorallygoodordesirable in a person. As the person grows, his virtues may grow and increase.
Evidentially, America, EU, UK, NATO, AUKUS, QUAD, G-7, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc. do not have, and do not practice the Christian values and virtues no matter how they claim or pretend to be.
Gal 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”
Note: Fruit in Greek is karposwhich means the fruit (literally or figuratively) of the trees; work; act; deed; effect; result; benefit; product; – which occurs 66 times in the New Testament. The Western leaders and politicians do not have the fruit of the Spirit because they have no love, no peace, no kindness, no goodness, no faithfulness, no gentleness, no self-control, therefore also no joy. Anyone who has any dealing with them will find out like President Putin who said, “There is no happiness in life.”
God is not the Author of confusion. If the fruit means virtue, God must have said it. Here the Scripture says, the fruit of the Spirit. Mark you, it is fruit in singular. Virtues are plural, Christians have more than one virtue. To the carnal mind, it may appear confused. For example, love is a Christian value; love is also a part of the fruit of the Spirit. Human mind is so limited that we cannot know the things pertaining to God. Although, it appears, the virtue of patience needshuman efforts in cultivation and development. However, when a Christian is filled with the Holy Spirit, he will automatically has many virtues including patience. Humanly speaking, we do not know how much fruit is given by the Holy Spirit, how much is required by human effort. Whatever it is, we give God all the glory.
Eph 5:9, “(for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth).”
Here again, the fruit of the Light is singular. However, the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. For God is Light, the fruit of the Light has Divine attributes. So the Image of God consists in goodness, righteousness and truth.
There is no need to call the fruit of the Spirit and the fruit of the Light as virtues. And there is no need to call the Christian values of Faith, Hope and Love as theological virtues. No matter what is your theoretical frame on virtue, you may agree that a man without virtue is no better than an animal. Once I watched TV reporting of a child accidentally falling to the cave of gorillas in the zoo. It was surprising that a mother gorilla tenderly protected the little human child from harm by other gorillas. While I am no expert on gorillas, the kindness of the mother gorilla was probably innate. There is no evidence such kindness was nurtured. I do not have wisdom to tell you why one gorilla has kindness, the other has fierceness. By the same token, I cannot tell you why one human is kind while another human is cruel. Gorillas do not go to school for sure. They do not go through ethics training. You watch so many evil doers in this world who habitually lie, kill, and rob without end.
On the other hand, you know historically European and American supremacists have dictated and dominated the world for hundreds of years. Their genocides and historical crimes and atrocities are recorded in history of the world. Today you see the wicked lie, kill, rob, rape, assault, shoot and destroy. On TV once I watched a black young man who forcefully pushed an Asian elderly man from behind that the old man fell on his face and died later. I watched a stout black man stamping and trampling on a small Asian woman while another big black man was watching from the glass door of a store and started closing the glass door. The black man closing the glass door meant he did not want to get involved. I watched several blacks robbing the store of an Asian. I watched a black woman on the street attacked two smaller Asian women. Obviously some people are no better than animals. There is no justice in the world.
The final wisdom of life does not require the achievement of success and superiority within and above it. THE FINAL WISDOM OF LIFE IS SUBMISSIVE TO THE WILL OF GOD AND ACCEPT IT WITH ANONYMITY AND HUMILITY.
Christian values have space-time reality. While on earth Christians need to have Faith, Hope, and Love as constant principle to guide and guard, to live a Christian life. However, in the Kingdom of Heaven, faith and hope will become obsolete. It does not mean faith and hope will become trash. In Heaven, you see the Lord face to face, you do not need faith anymore. In Heaven, the hope of glory has become a reality. You do not need to hope for something which has become a reality. But love is eternal, we love God and His children forever. Heaven is where truth, peace, and love remain forever and ever. But Christian values have nothing to do with Darwinism. There are no external conditions can alter or change the Christian values of faith, hope, and love here on earth. There will be no external conditions, or conditions of life to change the eternal values of truth, peace, joy and love in Heaven. There is no natural selection of the fittest. Everything and everybody in Heaven is fit and perfect for unity and eternity. Darkness, death, devil and evil will not exist anymore.
1 Corinthians Chapter 13 is the Manifesto of Christian Values. The Christian values consist of FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE. Unlike the American values of money, power, and sex which are diametrically opposed to the Christian values.
The difference between a value and a virtue is hairsplitting and difficult to define. For example, love can be called a value as well as a virtue.
Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. They help determine what you truly want out of life while simultaneously acting as the test and measure you use to tell if you’re satisfied with your current situation and living in a meaningful way.
Values are more cherished and core qualities of a group less individual. Virtues are more cherished qualities of individual and personal than of a group. The world is possessed and driven by the secularism demonstrated
in the values of money, power, and sex OR pleasure.
I cannot find satisfactory definition of values. So I venture to come up one may sound clumsy but comprehensive. Values are incommensurable and intrinsic ABSTRACT positive qualities inherently of highest importance held and shared collectively AND permanently. Such as the Christian values of faith, hope, and love. Employing this definition, you can evaluate the American values of money, power, and sex and you will conclude they are worldly values. The worldly values are not the true values.
Hypocrisy is the most immoral characteristics of a nation. The hypocrisy of Western nations is the claim and pretense to be Christian nations and at the same time practice unrighteousness and darkness as imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, hegemonism, militarism, and world dictatorship and domination. The nations that committed genocide, except Germany has apologized and made reparations. The worst is the pagan Japan, an unconditional surrendered war crime nation that denies all its genocide, sex slavery, slave labor, and atrocities and refused to pay compensation.
Some liberal theologian said, “Life is a battle between faith and reason in which each feeds upon the other, drawing sustenance from it and destroying it.” Absolutely wrong. For a Christian life is not a battle between faith and reason. Faith takes hold of the Revealed Truth in Christ. Faith does not feed on reason, for the Christian faith is reasonable. Reason is best human intellect or wisdom. By human reason no one can know God. The truth of Christ is beyond reason and science. Because reason and science do not know that which is absolute, infallible and eternal. For a Christian life is a battle between self and Christ, between flesh and spirit. Christians have victory when we submit our will to the will of God.
Although they do not admit it, many unbelieving theologians, philosophers and secularists think they are wiser than God. I never have such a problem. In comparison to the Wisdom of God, I am nothing but a worm or a maggot. However, I am eternally grateful to be a son of the Heavenly Father. I am looking forward to the second coming of Jesus Christ, and reign with the King of kings and the Lord of lords for eternity.

You may ask what is the point to know about Christian virtues anyway. If
you an unbeliever, the knowledge may not mean much to you. If you are
real believer, Christian virtues will help you to live godly and righteously
in this world, so that the way you conduct yourself may glorify Jesus Christ.
Jde 1:24-25, “Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless with great joyto the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority beforeall time and now andforever. Amen.”
Now you have learned about the Christian Virtues. You can become a Christian in order to have Christian virtues. You become a Christian by repentance to God and faith in Jesus Christ our great God and Savior.

BY WILLIE WONG
This article is written to let you know that we are in the last days, the state of the world is very, very bad because it is most dangerous and perilous.
The last days of the world are characterized by devoid of truth, integrity, and justice. You look everywhere in the world you cannot find TRUTH, INTEGRITY, JUSTICE.
Worst of all, above all, those that claim to be Christian nations, are devoid of Truth, Integrity, and Justice.
2Ti 3:1-14, “But KNOW this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was. But you have carefully followed my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, love, perseverance, persecutions, afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra—what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me. Yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of, knowing from whom you have learned them.”
Note: Know this! You may know many unimportant things. If you do not know this, your knowledge is vain and useless. “But KNOW this, that in the last days PERILOUS times will come.” Perilous in Greek is chaleposwhich means fierce; dangerous; hard to bear; troublesome; harsh; savage; difficult; furious; grievous; oppressive; annoying; hazardous; full of peril; parlous; – which occurs 2 times in the New Testament.
Alas! Alas! Alas! The world has lost truth and integrity. There are no more truth and integrity in the world! You cannot find national leaders and politicians who have truth and integrity. You cannot find business that has truth and integrity! What is worse, many businesses not only they have no honor, they have no shame.
Isa 1:4, “Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity, Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the LORD, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away from Him.”
Eze 30:2,“Son of man, prophesy and say, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Wail, ‘Alas for the day!’ Alas for the day means the day is evil.
Who can live in this evil day?”
What do we mean by the world? Mat 16:26, “For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul?”
You do not have a rosy picture of the world today. It is so bad that there is no truth and integrity in many nations. The enemies of truth are controlling and censoring my website so that I am not free to speak and proclaim the truth and nothing but the truth in my website. So far I cannot find a free website with freedom of the speech. The state of the world is bad, very bad, and very very bad.
I. CHARACTERS AND CHARACTERISTICS OF LAST DAYS PEOPLES.
Peoples of the last days (which is today) have the following characters and characteristics as it is written:
1. Lovers of self
2. Lovers of money
3. Boastful
4. Arrogant
5. Slanderers
6. Disobedient to parents
7. Ungrateful
8. Unholy
9. Unloving
10. Irreconcilable
11. Malicious gossips
12. Without self-control
13. Brutal
14. Haters of good
15. Treacherous
16. Reckless
17. Conceited
18. Lovers of pleasure
Three kinds of lovers: lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure characterize the problems of the last days and compound many unprecedented problems the world is facing. Most of the crimes committed today are caused by these three kinds of lovers. Do you know that Lucifer fell because of his
self-centeredness?
Isa 14:12-15, ““How you have fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, you who defeated the nations
“But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to Heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ “Nevertheless you will be brought down to Sheol, To the recesses of the pit.”
Lucifer with 5 “I wills” and he had fallen from Heaven.
I agree with William E. Gladstone who said, “Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.”
The state of the world is not good, no matter from what aspect you look at it. It is very, very bad and evil.
I. THE WORLD IS IN CRISIS
Luk 21:25-26, “There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the world; for the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.”
The state of the world: on the earth distress among nations. Distress in Greek is synochēwhich means anguish; metaphorically straits; restraint; anxiety; pain and suffering; trouble; – which occurs 2 times in the New Testament.
What is a crisis? This is my own definition.
Crisis is the decisive moment, an undesirable, uncontrollable, unwanted, or crucial time or state of affairs in which a situation that has reached a critical phase or point of no return, the outcome is only disaster or destruction.
Every crisis is a timed bomb. Every timed bomb is bound to explode.
The world’s crisis consists of the following:
1. Famine and food shortage
2. Civil wars
3. Climate change
4. Overpopulation
5. Western wars and interventions create refugees
6. Public health crisis
7. Water shortage
8. Illegal migrants
9. Nuclear proliferation
10. Corrupt and bad governments
11. Islamic terrorism
12. Divisiveness among nations and inside nations
13. Social disintegration
If the undeveloped nations and peoples continue the culture of decay and destruction and inflict themselves with civil wars, corruption, laziness, unproductivity, irresponsibility, and lack of motivation, don’t expect they will receive aid from other countries and peoples.
Why European and American leaders do not realize or admit their historical imperialism, colonialism and capitalism are not compatible with Christianity? There are secularists who are self-claimed Christians and defend and apologize for the evil deeds of American imperialism, colonialism and capitalism.
II. THE TWO CAMPS
Due to the divisive and destabilizing work of America and Europe (UK, NATO, AUKUS, EU, G-7, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc.) and Japan, the world is separated into two camps. The camp one represented by the U.S. and its allies; the other camp led by the United Nations, including Russia, China, and most members of the free world.
I agree with Harry Ironside, “The greatest mistake any Christian can make is to substitute his own will for the will of God.” The person who substitutes his own will for the will of God involves self-deception and conceit.
It was William Law who said, “Self is the root, the tree, and the branches of all the evils of our fallen state.” What Law said rightly applies to America, UK, EU, G-7, AUKUS, France, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and Japan.
Henry Ward Beecher said something incredibly correct, “Selfishness is that detestable vice who no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself.”
I agree with Socrates, “He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have.” Godliness with contentment is a great gain for every Christian.
I agree with Benjamin Franklin, “Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.”
In the last days, the world is dominated by people who are lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure. Just one example, in the midst of CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC, you see many men and women go to the beach and have pleasure to display their bodies.
It is more real than the so-called The Thucydides Trap. The devil can enter the heart of an evildoer without his knowledge. Jhn 13:2, “And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him.” The devil put into the heart of Judas the traitor to betray Jesus. Watching the words and deeds of many Western leaders and politicians for so long, you wonder if the devil has put into their hearts to do evil things. If they start a nuclear war against Russia and China, then you know for sure what the devil has put it into their hearts.
This is the clear answer why the United States Must Not Have War With China. The numbers are against the United States. The stars of Heaven are against America.
III. AMERICA IN CRISIS
America is the most mismanaged country in the world. It would be voluminous to record all the cases of mismanagement politically, diplomatically, strategically, financially, economically, educationally, medically, departmentally, militarily, and trade.
James A. Lucas（24 April, 2007）wrote “This study reveals that U.S. military forces were directly responsible for about 10 to 15 million deaths during the Korean and Vietnam Wars and the two Iraq Wars. The Korean War also includes Chinese deaths while the Vietnam War also includes fatalities in Cambodia and Laos.
“List of wars involving the United States…Jer 12:17, “But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it, declares the LORD.”Note: Wars of aggression can have beautiful names such as Operation Restoring Hope, Operation Just Cause, Operation Enduring Freedom, etc. to fool the uninformed. God cannot be fooled. God is calling the United States to listen: cease to be the evil empire, cease and desist to be the warmonger, cease to do evil in the world, cease to cause destruction. I am afraid American leaders will not listen because they are arrogant supremacists, imperialists, hegemonists, monopolists, militarists and capitalists. Let American leaders know what God has said, “But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation, uproot and destroy it, declares the Lord.”
Let God’s Word be the final warning. I am afraid American leaders will not listen because they have no fear of God. Only President Richard Nixon had the right vision for America and the world because Nixon did not seek world domination, he sought a just and lasting peace. After Nixon, there has not been one president who leads the nation to the right path.
Luk 6:41-42,“Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother: Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye, when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.”
Billy Graham had been known as the counselor and preacher of American presidents. However, Billy Graham was not John the Baptist, as far as I know, he did not and no American preacher had face to face pointed to the American presidents their sins of committing war crimes and atrocities in many parts of the world. I believe the reason was almost all American preachers were inflicted by Americanism and blinded by patriotism that they could not see any wrong done by America. I recall a white missionary from South Africa who told me the Blacks in Africa were like the Amalekites and the Canaanites in the Promised Land, it was justified to kill them. Oh, what a white man’s gospel!
An Open Letter to President Bush, and leaders and American people, see America Is Committing Suicide; if God is going to judge and punish America, God will not require their blood at my hand. A false American prophet used to say, “Something good is going to happen to you!” Because he was a preacher of false gospel and he wanted money from the American audience and even used the name of Jesus in vain. I do not ask for money from anyone. I do not work for Chinese government or any organization. I am working for nobody but Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. I am for truth and justice. In fact, what I am doing costs me money, time and efforts and incurs curses from the enemies of truth.
American leaders, do not start or lead the war of aggression against China, or God will uproot and destroy you! Jesus warns you, Mat 26:52,“Then Jesus said to him: Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.” Those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
I fully agree withJeffrey Sachs’truthful conclusion as follows:“China is not the source of our economic problems — corporate greed is
ByJeffrey Sachs
Updated 0457 GMT (1257 HKT) May 27, 2019
Unless some greater wisdom prevails, we could spin toward conflict with China, first economically, then geopolitically and militarily, with utter disaster for all.There will be no winners in such a conflict.Yet such is the profound shallowness and corruption of US politics today that we are on such a path.
A trade war with China won’t solve our economic problems. Instead we need homegrown solutions: affordable health care, better schools, modernized infrastructure, higher minimum wages and a crackdown on corporate greed.In the process, we would also learn that we havefar more to gainthrough cooperation with China rather than reckless and unfair provocation.”
“Is the US Planning to Wage War on Russia and China?
Theme: US NATO War Agenda Listen to the interview with Prof. Michel Chossudovsky below.
This is Guns and Butter.
“The Rand Corporation, on contract with the US Army, which commissioned a report examining a war with China. Now, this is called “War With China: Thinking Through the Unthinkable.” The irony of this is that what they examined in this report is whether “we” could actually win a war on China.
Essentially, this is a simulation of a war between the United States and China and it comes up with the conclusion that we’re going to win it.That’s diabolical and it’s criminal. What has China done to the sovereignty of the United States?”
The study (published in 2015) entitled War with China: Thinking the Unthinkable was commissioned by the US Army.
I’m Bonnie Faulkner. Today on Guns and Butter, Michel Chossudovsky.
Today’s show: Is the US Planning to Wage War on Russia and China? Michael Chossudovsky is an economist and the Founder, Director and Editor of the Center for Research on Globalization, based in Montreal, Quebec. He is the author of 11 books including The Globalization of Poverty and the New World Order, War and Globalization: The Truth Behind September Eleventh, America’s War on Terrorism and The Globalization of War: America’s Long War Against Humanity. Today we concentrate on the global military agenda, on the evolving restructure of geopolitical alliances, the Nuclear Posture Review, the purpose of the Manhattan Project, and the dangers of nuclear war.”
The U.S. is able to killone billion Chinese, but there will still be400 million Chinesearound the world. China and Russiaare able to kill350 million Americans around the word, there will be not one American left in the world! YOU SEE NUMBERS ARE AGAINST THE UNITED STATES.
The US Constitution needs to be revised. The change is to stipulate that the national sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens. American citizens have the final say on every vital issue and important matters of the nation. National referendum is the real democracy in action. Unlike the democracy and national referendum in Taiwan which is phony and not worth mentioning. American leaders and politicians are afraid of changing the U.S. Constitution to stipulate that sovereignty is vested in the hands of American citizens because in that way American leaders and politicians will lose their monopoly of power. When and where 51% of Americans cast their votes of no confidence in the president or any high ranking official, they can be removed automatically without going through the useless process of impeachment. The majority of American citizens are empowered to make decision of national importance. For example, if 51% of American voters decide to abandon empire, the American foreign policy can be changed overnight, all American troops stationed overseas, aircraft carriers, warships, destroyers, bombers, spy plans, etc. can be withdrawn at once.
Anti-Asian racism rises with the increasing present day U.S. aggression toward China.The whole America already knows that Blacks attack and kill Asian Americans. It seems the Western mainstream media is not interested to report on the criminals and terrorists. It seems the police is not interested to arrest the criminals and terrorists. It seems the government is not interested to arrest and prosecute the criminals and terrorists for murders and hate crimes. What is wrong with America?
“You May Be Paying a Higher Tax Rate Than a Billionaire A new ProPublica analysis of a trove of IRS documents revealed that the richest 25 Americans pay a tiny fraction of their wealth in taxes. But even if you use the most conventional yardstick — income — the wealthiest still pay low rates.”
“Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide defines genocide as any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: (a) Killing members of the group; (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”
As historian Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz said, “genocide was the inherent overall policy of the United States from its founding.”
“Millions of indigenous peoples were murdered in an effort to depopulate the “virgin wasteland” settlers found when they first arrived in the New World. For a long time, it was thought that only a million inhabitants were present when Europeans first arrived. However, today, it is estimated that pre-contact population of Native Americans was likely between nine and 18 million. By the latter part of the 19th century, this indigenous population was reduced from the numbers above to approximately 250,000. This is an elimination of 98 to 99 percent of the total Native Americans present. Today, it is estimated there are two to three million people on earth who identify as being Native American.”
The purpose of listing the most dangerous American time bombs. I define a time bomb as a national pressing problem or serious situation if not resolved properly that threatens to have disastrous consequences at some near future time or unexpectedly. Had American citizens possess the right of national sovereignty, many vital issues could have been resolved by national referendums. There are quite a few American ticking time bombs. Here just to mention a few as follows:
(1) . Blacks
(2) . Latinos
(3) . Debt
(4) . Deficit
(5) . Illegal aliens (already in America)
(6) . Welfare
(7) . Drugs
(8) . Economy
(9) . Trade
(10). Special interests
(11). Partisan divisiveness
(12). Racial discrimination
(13). Police brutality
(14). Illegal migrants (want to come in)
(15). Fraudulent healthcare (most costly in the world)
(16). Injustice
(17). Organized crime
(18). Terrorism
(19). Inequality
(20). Corruption
(21). Culture
(22). Military-Industrial-Security complex
(23). Pentagon
(24). Iran
(25). Hamas-Palestinians
EVERY CRISIS IS A TIME BOMB. A time bomb is a potentially dangerous or detrimental factor which may increase its destructiveness with the passage of time.
According tohttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/american-criminal-justice-system-reform-questions-rachel-barkow-2019-08-02/
“With nearly 2.3 million prisoners behind bars, the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world.” This does not necessarily mean unfair in criminal justice. It may mean there are crooks and criminals in America. The more meaningful analysis is the breakdown of all prisoners in race, gender, age, religion, violent vs nonviolent crimes, rate of recidivism, and how quick death penalty is carried out.
“From the time Europeans arrived on American shores, the frontier—the edge territory between white man’s civilization and the untamed natural world—became a shared space of vast, clashing differences that led the U.S. government to authorize over 1,500 wars, attacks and raids on Indians, the most of any country in the world against its Indigenous people. By the close of the Indian Wars in the late 19th century, fewer than 238,000 Indigenous people remained, a sharp decline from the estimated 5 million to 15 million living in North America when Columbus arrived in 1492.
The reasons for this racial genocide were multi-layered. Settlers, most of whom had been barred from inheriting property in Europe, arrived on American shores hungry for Indian land—and the abundant natural resources that came with it. Indians’ collusion with the British during the American Revolution and the War of 1812 exacerbated American hostility and suspicion toward them.
Even more fundamentally, Indigenous people were just too different: Their skin was dark. Their languages were foreign. And their world views and spiritual beliefs were beyond most white men’s comprehension. To settlers fearful that a loved one might become the next Mary Campbell, all this stoked racial hatred and paranoia, making it easy to paint Indigenous peoples as pagan savages who must be killed in the name of civilization and Christianity.”
Between 1846 and 1873, California’s Indian population plunged from perhaps 150,000 to 30,000. Benjamin Madley is the first historian to uncover the full extent of the slaughter, the involvement of state and federal officials, the taxpayer dollars that supported the violence, indigenous resistance, who did the killing, and why the killings ended. This deeply researched book is a comprehensive and chilling history of an American genocide. Madley describes pre-contact California and precursors to the genocide before explaining how the Gold Rush stirred vigilante violence against California Indians. He narrates the rise of a state-sanctioned killing machine and the broad societal, judicial, and political support for genocide. Many participated: vigilantes, volunteer state militiamen, U.S. Army soldiers, U.S. congressmen, California governors, and others. The state and federal governments spent at least $1,700,000 on campaigns against California Indians. Besides evaluating government officials’ culpability, Madley considers why the slaughter constituted genocide and how other possible genocides within and beyond the Americas might be investigated using the methods presented in this groundbreaking book.
Benjamin Madley is associate professor of history, University of California, Los Angeles, where he focuses on Native America, the United States, and genocide in world history. He lives in Los Angeles, CA.”
In what seems like odd timing, the White House announced Monday that President Joe Biden has abandoned his promise to launch a commission to study police reform. A top adviser, Susan Rice, said civil rights activists prefer the President to push for new laws to change police tactics and training. But such efforts could founder in the deadlocked 50-50 US Senate, raising fresh questions over whether broken US politics are up to fixing the country’s problems.”
According to Matthew Stephenson, ““US: The to 10 percent of families own $51 trilion in wealth, or about 75% of total household wealth.”
The American leaders and politicians have no intention to change the US Constitution because they want to hang on all the political and financial powers in their hands. To run America a real democracy would require the US Constitution to vest national sovereignty in the hands of American citizens.
The US CONSTITUTION as is cannot provide a vehicle or channel to resolve national issues.
“Democrats (79%) and Independents (75%) are more likely to say the American Dream is harder for young families to achieve than Republicans (56%). Lack of Quality Education, Financial Security Top Concerns: A lack of quality public education and uncertainty over financial security top the list of barriers to the American Dream. Caucasian (27%) and Hispanic (29%) adults cite poor quality of education as the main barrier, with African-Americans more likely to report racial or ethnic discrimination as the main obstacle (28%).
Barriers to the American Dream Government as Help or Hindrance: A solid majority of all Americans (72%) believe that the government should actively work to help people achieve the American Dream. This is particularly true of young people (90% of 18 to 22-year-olds agree). But almost half (45%) believe the government has done more to hinder their pursuit of the American Dream than help, up from 34% in 2001. Eighty-five percent say that local, state and federal government must work together to give people a fair shot at achieving the American Dream. The poll shows that while Americans believe the government should play a role in helping them achieve the American Dream, they are skeptical about whether the government can actually get the job done,” Lyons said. “This is an alarming finding that shows the need to work together at all levels of government and across party lines to ensure hope, fairness and opportunity. ” [Source: National League of Cities]
I was a product of American dream. I used to earn $1.25 an hour; I worked my way through college; earned B.A. and Master’s degree without debt. But I am telling you the American dream is dead, no one can work the minimum wage through college because the costs of living and education are too high.
American Economy in Crisis
According to
April 1, 2021
‘Just goes to show you how distorted and unfair our economy has become’
Will JRB take his place alongside FDR and LBJ?
President Joseph Robinette Biden just unveiled the latest move in his quest to transform the US economy to boost working Americans rather than the wealthy. His $2 trillion infrastructure plan follows a $1.9 trillion Covid rescue program that doubles as a bid to lift millions of Americans out of poverty, and will soon be followed by a jobs initiative that could also hit the trillion dollar mark. If he can force all this into law, Biden will lay claim to a spot in the Democratic pantheon alongside Franklin Roosevelt and Lyndon Johnson who used vast government power to reorient the economy and benefit the poor with their New Deal and Great Society programs.
The President complained as he unveiled his plan in Pittsburgh — the kind of gritty blue collar city he loves — that the top 1% saw their wealth rise by $4 trillion during the pandemic while millions of Americans lost jobs. “Just goes to show you how distorted and unfair our economy has become,” Biden said. “Wasn’t always this way. Well, it’s time to change that.”
Biden wants to do more than repair America’s crumbling roads, bridges and airports. He proposes $300 billion to boost manufacturing. Another $400 billion would fund care services for the aged and disabled. There’s $100 billion each to replace lead water pipes, build new public schools and get every citizen access to broadband. Biden plans to create good paying jobs with a $600 billion payout for highways, railroads and bridge repair. And he aims to pay for all this by raising the corporate tax rates that Donald Trump slashed to 21% to 28% and with various other taxes on big business.
It will be a huge lift to get it all through Congress. Republicans are likely to oppose the bill en masse as too expensive, as they try to deny the new Democratic President another political triumph. A 50-50 Senate is a tricky obstacle and some Democrats are already griping that another $2 trillion in government spending isn’t enough.”
“In 2019, the top 20% of the population earned 51.9% of all U.S. income.3
Their average household income was $254,449. The richest of the rich, the top 5%, earned 23% of all income. Their average household income was $451,122.”
Around 30% of American workers make less than $10.10 per hour. That creates an income below thefederal poverty level. These are the people who wait on you every day. They include cashiers, fast food workers, and nurse’s aides, and maybe even you.”
I suspect income inequality is a world-wide injustice, probably America is more apparent.
Even as Biden has announced U.S. forces will leave Afghanistan after twenty years, the conflict won’t end for Afghans anytime soon. With Afghan partners likely to bear the brunt of future Taliban advances, how can Washington protect those who have risked their lives for a more equitable, democratic homeland?
“Ray LaHood, 75, who served as the transportation secretary from 2009 to 2013, took a check for $50,000 in 2012 with the word “Loan” written on it while he was “suffering financial difficulties,” the DOJ announced Wednesday. The check came from Toufic Joseph Baaklini, 58, an associate of Lebanese-Nigerian billionaire Gilbert Chagoury, 75, who, despite being “prohibited by federal law from contributing to any U.S. elections,” made payments to government officials through those in his orbit. “
“We have all heard about the Stanford rape case where Brock Turner was sentence only six months in jail for raping an unconscious woman when he should have been sentenced for the six years for three felony accounts of sexual assault that the prosecutor asked for. Not only was the defendant Brock Turner outrageously under sentenced, but it was because of his privilege: as a man, white and upper class status that he got the sentence he did. What this case demonstrated is that what is supposed to be a fair justice system is actually corrupt and the racism, classism and sexism that we have tried to eliminate are still very prominent issues.”
“As a young industrial power, the United States suffered from levels of political corruption commonly associated today with impoverished nations in the developing world. This is among the findings of a new working paper co-written by Harvard Law School Professor Matthew Stephenson ’03 and California State Supreme Court Justice and Stanford Professor Mariano-Florentino Cuellar tentatively titled “Taming Systemic Corruption: The American Experience and its Implications for Contemporary Debates,” which chronicles the history of corruption in the United States between 1865 and 1941.
Stephenson has explored corruption in other countries for many years. Six years ago, he launched “The Global Anticorruption Blog,” which is devoted to promoting analysis and discussion of the problem of corruption around the world. In 2017, he organized a conference at HLS on populist plutocrats to stimulate more systematic and rigorous research on this political phenomenon.
In an interview with Harvard Law Today, Stephenson explained why corruption flourished in the U.S. for so long, how it was largely vanquished by reformers, and why we should be worried about its return.
“US: The to 10 percent of families own $51 trilion in wealth,
America Is In A Cultural Civil War because of the activities of white and black peoples. I have watched and lived through two Los Angeles Black Riots, and also personally the black student riot at Los Angeles City College during the period I was going to transfer to the university. I have many experiences of knowing blacks and whites in America.
“Anti-Asian racism is on the rise in the United States and the West and has been discussed most frequently in the aftermath of the murder of six women of Asian descent in Atlanta on March 16th. However, the roots for anti-Asian racism have been entirely left out of the mainstream discourse on the issue.
On this episode of The Internationalist Transmission, Danny Haiphong is joined by Invent the Future’s Carlos Martinez and a panel of Chinese and Asian diaspora activists and political analysts to connect the dots between the history of anti-Asian racism and present day U.S. aggression toward China.

“Forget about China, or Russia, being an alleged threat. They are in actual fact an “opportunity” for NATO and U.S. imperialism.”
By Finian Cunningham
Published on Strategic Culture, Mar 28, 2021 _____________________________________
“In an unguarded moment, NATO’s secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg let the cat out of the bag when he described the rise of China as both a challenge and “an opportunity”. What he was admitting unintentionally is that a confrontational policy toward China gives the military alliance some badly needed new purpose.
Stoltenberg was giving an exclusive interview to Deutsche Welle to mark the first ministerial NATO summit attended by the Biden administration. The two-day summit held on March 23-24 at NATO headquarters in Brussels involved in-person participation of U.S. secretary of state Antony Blinken as well as other foreign ministers of the 30-nation military alliance.
The NATO meeting comes as the United States and its European allies are ramping up a coordinated policy of sanctions against China and Russia over alleged human rights issues. This week saw an unprecedented coordination by the U.S., Canada, Britain and the European Union in implementing new sanctions against Beijing and Moscow. It is no coincidence that this provocative development comes after high-profile international meetings, both in-person and via videoconferencing, by the Biden administration calling for allies to adopt a more adversarial and unified position toward China and Russia.
The Biden administration has changed tack from the predecessor Trump “America First” policy to vigorously advocate for a “revitalized” transatlantic relationship. Washington views a more unified U.S.-Europe axis as a more effective strategic way to challenge China and Russia. And NATO is providing a renewed coordinating vehicle.
Whenever white supremacists say about ”the global balance of power”, they simply means the US and EU dictate and dominate the world.
“The United States in pursuit of global dominance by its corporations and its capitalist order must, by definition, thwart a multi-polar global political economy which the rise of China and Russia embody.
The fiendish political problem, however, is that Washington and its European surrogates cannot justify such a stance based on the normal and natural relations that exist. For in doing that, they would be seen as obnoxious, unwarranted aggressors. It is imperative therefore to conflate China and Russia as “security threats” to the presumed Western “rules-based order”.
Never mind that the Western “rules-based order” has seen NATO powers trashing rules and order by invading countries all around the world, waging criminal wars and subversions, killing millions of people and unleashing terrorism and other security threats stemming from collapsing nations and mass migration.
Forget about China, or Russia, being an alleged threat. They are in actual fact an “opportunity” for NATO and U.S. imperialism, which the alliance ultimately serves, to find an excuse for their criminal existence and conduct. Just ask the secretary-general Jens Stoltenberg (who, as the jokes goes, is more secretary than he is general).”

“1. HSBC (Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation): The company admitted to laundering up to $7 billion for Central American drug cartels. It also allegedly supplied more than $1 billion to Al Rajhi Bank of Saudi Arabia, whose founder was an original benefactor of al-Qaeda and whom was caught supplying travelers’ checks to Chechen extremists. A long list of other alleged crimes include funneling money to Iran, North Korea and the Sudan, countries listed as state sponsors of terrorism. HSBC paid a $1.9 billion civil fine (equal to about five weeks of revenue for the company), but neither the company or any of its employees faced criminal charges.”
The sad fact about the American way is devoid of truth and justice. America and its allies are preparing and conducting military exercises in territorial waters near China and Russia, and may start a nuclear war unexpectedly.
“Now that the US is ending its involvement in Afghanistan, Gideon Rachman writes for the Financial Times that threats posed by Russia and China loom as possible flash points that Washington, in particular, would have to deal with, were they to erupt in conflict. As Russia masses troops on Ukraine’s eastern border, Rachman writes of growing concern that Moscow could launch an invasion, though no one knows what Russian President Vladimir Putin’s aims are. At the same time, similar fears are developing over Taiwan. “Last week, China sent a record number of military jets into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone,” Rachman writes. “… As the Chinese Communist party prepares to celebrate the centenary of its foundation later this year, President Xi Jinping may be looking for a triumph.” Rhetoric from both Moscow and Beijing is getting more “warlike,” Rachman writes, noting suspicions that the two could be cooperating in their provocations, tacitly or otherwise. We can count Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe as among those worried; Kempe writes that the common interest of Russia and China has become more apparent, warning of a “nightmare scenario of global consequence.” The US, Rachman notes, has offered vague indications that it would defend both Ukraine and Taiwan if they were attacked, but it has stopped short of making those promises explicit, so it’s not clear how Washington would respond if either front heated up further. Still, Rachman isn’t convinced that either Russia or China would start a war. “[E]ven the most confident and nationalistic officials in Beijing and Moscow will still be conscious of the risks of head-on confrontation over Taiwan and Ukraine,” he writes. “The likelihood is that Russia and China will continue to use ‘grey zone’ tactics that stop just short of all-out conflict. As America discovered in Afghanistan, it is much easier to start a war than to control its outcome.”
America committed many robberies over the years, robbing the countries and individuals.
1. Robbing the wealth of Saddam Hussein
2. Robbing the wealth of Gaddafi
3. Robing the oil of Syria
4. Robbing the 31 tons gold of Venezuela
5. Robbing and looting and stealing with allies the priceless national treasures of China at the market value of US$100,000 trillion dollars.
If the British Museum, the Louve, the Smithsonian and Japanese royal and public museums return all looted Chinese national treasures, they would amount to 50% of all Chinese national treasures robbed and looted by the West and Japan.
The administrations of the two parties caved in to the National Riffle Association, and failed to ban or outlaw all sorts of guns, weapons of death. Consequently, murder and killing used by guns become a regular happenings in America.
Once you know the US-funded Uyghur terrorists as gun-toting foot soldiers for American empire to wipe out China, it dawns on you why American and European and Western media fabricated false charges against China for committing genocide, abuses of human rights, and forced labor.
American and European supremacists and imperialists are all behind the terrors and troubles in Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Administrations of the Democratic Party failed to protect the border, and failed to deport illegal aliens. It is estimated there are 60 million illegal aliens already in America, when will the Administration deport them is a question all Americans must be concerned. Most of the illegal aliens are on welfare.
Isn’t is pathetic that American immigration policy is controlled and determined by foreign nations, Latin America, and illegal migrants who are fortune seekers believing once they arrive in America, they can live and breed happily hereafter on welfare.
DISCRIMINATION
America has a long history of discrimination from the beginning, robbing the lands of Red Indians and killing them off.
“When American leaders call COVID-19 the “China virus,” it harkens back to decades of state-sanctioned discrimination against Asian Americans.
In the months since the coronavirus pandemic began, thousands of Asians in the U.S. have become targets of harassment and assault. The racist incidents began as the first cases of coronavirus spread across China last December and disinformation reigned. As infections appeared in the U.S., President Trump repeatedly referred to COVID-19 as the “China virus” and “Chinese flu,” and pushed a disproved theory that it had originated in a Chinese lab. By April an IPSOS poll found that three in 10 Americans blamed China or Chinese people for the virus.
For Asians in America, there is a new tension to daily life. Asian businesses and property have been vandalized with racist tags. Random individuals have been physically assaulted, verbally harassed, and shunned across the country. There’s no official tally for how many incidents have occurred, but in late March, California Congresswoman Judy Chu estimated 100 hate crimes were being committed against Asian Americans each day.
This fear isn’t new. In the past century and a half, the United States has made laws and national policies out of discrimination against ethnic groups, from the Chinese Exclusion Act to Japanese internment during World War II. Historians and activists fear that today’s targeted political rhetoric and harassment mirrors moments in U.S. history when racism became state-sanctioned.
In mid-February, when there was only a single confirmed case of coronavirus in Los Angeles, a 16-year-old student was accused by another student of bringing the virus into his school from China. When he replied that he wasn’t Chinese, his classmate punched him in the head 20 times. He ended up in the emergency room.
Manjusha Kulkarni was surprised. As the executive director of the Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), a coalition of organizations that represents 1.5 million Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in Los Angeles County, she has a deep knowledge of anti-Asian racism in America. So, she was surprised to even feel surprised. Compared to African Americans and Latinos, Asians experience overtly violent racism less frequently, she says. (In fact, the “model minority” stereotype often pits Asian Americans directly against other minorities.) Plus, this was in a school. And the virus hadn’t yet gripped LA.
Racial discrimination is a world-wide phenomena. America practices actual racial discrimination although not official. I have lived, studied, worked, and traveled in America almost half a century. I have observed, watched, and studied the behavior of many races. I lived through two most brutal black riots in Los Angeles. Confirmed by my own and experiences of others that it is a fact of life that racial discrimination exists in America. I have been lucky because of my intelligence and education, pleasant personality and correct values — I suffered only employment and promotion discrimination. I was underemployed, understaffed and underpaid. I never encountered police brutality, when white police looked at me and listed to my communication, they never bothered me. Big department stores gave me great respect and service. When I was a junior at a junior college, I encountered problems with black student riots that demanded shutdown of the college. It was President Richard Nixon who came to my help and rescue. The city college did not shut down, and I had no problem of transferring to the university. The rest was history.
Rejection of undesirable immigration is not racial discrimination. America should not be the cesspool of the misfits, the uneducated, the unskilled, the drug addicts, the homosexuals, the misanthropes. Years ago and most recently I propose in the Constitution to make American English the official national language of America. There are so many misfit Mexicans or Latinos who do not want and do not speak correct English. Language is the only unifier of culture and country. The world thought the racial discrimination in America is the white against the black. They are all wrong. Racial discrimination is not the monopoly of the whites; when blacks are in power or position of authority, black discrimination is much worse than white discrimination because it is more rude, more crude, and more corrupt. My brother used to work in a government agency where blacks were the majority, he was physically threatened that he had to transfer out. I am not to repeat the stories how blacks instil fear in other people. I just want to quote a black preacher who said he did not feel safe to be among black youths. Without going into detail lest the enemies of truth censor my statement. Let American leaders, politicians, and people take notice, I hereby predict Blacks and Latinos will be two big American time bombs.
“Most of the recent high-profile attacks on Asians have allegedly been perpetrated by young black men, including one California case in which an elderly Thai man was killed. Nevertheless, anti-racism activists have blamed the disturbing trend on former President Donald Trump and “white supremacy.” In fact, after a Filipino-American man was slashed from ear to ear with a box cutter by a black man on a subway car in February, activists responded by holding a rally against white supremacy.
However, FBI crime statistics showed that whites committed 24% of the violent crimes reported against Asians nationwide in 2018, while whites made up about 62% of the population. Blacks accounted for 27.5% of violent crimes against Asians and 13% of the population.”
“So what does that say about the spread of the contagion of racism?” Kulkarni says. “It actually moves much more quickly than the disease.”
As the incidents of harassment against Asians rose, A3PCON asked the California attorney general’s office to collect data. It declined, so the organization built its own reporting pipeline. Within two weeks of launching on March 19, the Stop AAPI Hate tracker had received nearly 700 reports. From across the country, people described being spit on in grocery stores, yelled at on their jogs, and called racist names while waiting in line. (As of August, they have collected over 2,600 incidents.)
It would be a mistake to think of these as isolated incidents. There is a recipe for growing seeds of hatred into exclusionary national policy, Kulkarni says: Begin with political leadership that elevates the fear. Stir in media support. Top off with popular culture that perpetuates stereotypes.
“You really need that whole ecosystem, but it’s very easy, when there are these underlying beliefs, for America to snap back into it,” says Kulkarni. “It’s a constant fight because these racist tropes are really part of the American fabric. They’re more American than not.”
In the past century and a half, the United States has enshrined discrimination against ethnic groups into laws and national policies. In the 1880s, “yellow peril”—fear of an Asian invasion and resentment of the cheap labor coming from China—paved the way for the Chinese Exclusion Act, banning both new immigrants and existing residents from becoming U.S. citizens. At the turn of the century, a rise in Indian immigration sparked “dusky peril,” a fear of what a Washington newspaper then described as “Hinduhordes invading the state.” By 1917, after decades of pressure from anti-immigrant movements like “100 percent Americanism,” the Asiatic Barred Zone Act put a halt to most Indian and Asian immigration. It wasn’t until the Immigration Act of 1965 that the race-specific barriers were removed.”
“In the 1980s, Asian communities in America starting mobilizing to fight for their civil rights. The trigger was a murder: In 1982, Chinese-American Vincent Chin was beaten to death by two white men a few days before his wedding. The men held him responsible for Japan’s powerful auto industry at a time when America was losing manufacturing jobs.
Today, the Trump Administration has continued directing blame for the virus toward China. A 57-page memo by the National Republican Senatorial Committee included a talking point for politicians to argue that calling COVID-19 the “Chinese virus” isn’t racist. In July, Trump claimed the Chinese government was “fully responsible for concealing the virus and unleashing it upon the world.” The World Health Organization warns against associating diseases with specific locations, to prevent stigma and backlash.
Three times a week, at 2 p.m., a small group of people in orange polo shirts bearing the hashtag “#Chinatownblockwatch” congregate at the intersection of Mott and Bayard, in the heart of Manhattan’s Chinatown. The volunteers, who come from as far as Queens and Brooklyn, spend the next two hours crisscrossing the twisted streets of Chinese bakeries and dumpling joints, peering down side alleys, and generally making their presence known.
In January, as news of COVID-19 swirled, Karlin Chan started hearing rumors of Chinatown residents being harassed. Soon after, many stores were shuttered and streets grew quieter than ever. Chan, a full-time activist and advocate for crime victims, grew up in New York and knows his way around the streets. “I have a strict stand-your-ground policy,” he says. He started patrolling. He posted about his patrols on social media and a few friends joined. Then, dozens of people started showing up.
Chan believes incidents of harassment are more common than reported, especially after he started looking into reports of hate crimes around the city a few years ago. Immigrants often don’t know how to report a crime, or struggle with a language barrier, he says. Some prefer to stay off law enforcement’s radar. Chan offers himself as a one-man shop: He’ll encourage someone to make a police report, escort them to the station, and check on any unreported incidents he hears of. Without documentation, Chan says, there will be no resources or motivation to address racism.
“There’s always been a systemic, official and unofficial exclusion for Chinese, and this pandemic brought the debate back up again,” says Chan. “When they look for someone to blame, they blame the Chinese.”
Chan’s orange-shirted volunteers harken back to a time when neighbors had to watch out for each other. In the 1980s, vigilante crime fighters called the Guardian Angels patrolled New York’s subways and seediest neighborhoods. Chan plans to continue the patrol, and envisions it as a permanent Chinatown fixture.
Three times a week, New Yorkers gather in Chinatown to join the Chinatown Block Watch. Chinatowns around the country have felt the brunt of anti-Asian sentiment due to the pandemic. Incidents of vandalism and harassment have become commonplace.
America has been slow to acknowledge its anti-Asian history. …In 2011, the U.S. Senate formally apologized for the Chinese Exclusion Act, and the House followed the next year.
“The use of history is to learn from mistakes of the past. But in a twisted, perverse way, what we see is that the U.S. continues to repeat the same historical processes that developed throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.”
“In the San Francisco area, home to the nation’s largest and oldest Chinatown, there were at least 18 attacks against Asians in February alone, TODAY previously reported. An 84-year-old Thai American, Vicha Ratanapakdee, was pushed to the ground in January and died from his injuries a few days later, NBC News reported. In 2020, New York City police recorded 28 hate crimes against Asian Americans, up from three in 2019.
In the 1871 Chinese massacre, rioters killed 10% of the Chinese population in Los Angeles, about 18 people, according to the L.A. Public Library. Eight people were convicted of manslaughter, but the convictions were overturned and no one was retried. In 1885, white mobs in Rock Springs, Wyoming, murdered 28 Chinese coal miners, wounded 15 more and burnt down the city’s Chinatown, according to the state’s historical society.”
According to No Cold War
“The recent murder of eight people — including six Asian women — in Atlanta is part of an alarming rise in racial hatred against people of Asian descent. While the United States is the center of this phenomenon, violent anti-Asian racism is also resurging in Canada, Britain, Australia and elsewhere.
On the same day as the Atlanta murders, the results of a new Gallup poll were released, showing that US public opinion towards China has sharply deteriorated in the past year, with nearly half the population viewing China as their ‘greatest enemy’. These two trends are not coincidental. The rise in anti-Asian racism is inextricably linked with the New Cold War currently being waged by the US government and its allies, primarily against China.
In recent years, Washington, with bipartisan support, has initiated a New Cold War with increasingly aggressive statements and actions towards China. A particularly disturbing aspect has been the promotion of racist labels such as ‘Chinese virus’ and ‘Kung flu’, along with conspiracy theories of a Chinese ‘cover-up’, which have sought to blame China for the Covid-19 pandemic and generated animosity towards Asian peoples worldwide. These overtly racist narratives have been able to take root in the wider, hostile environment generated by the New Cold War.
On a daily basis, media coverage incessantly warns of the ‘threat’ posed by China, reminiscent of the racist ‘yellow peril’ and McCarthyist ‘red scare’ narratives of the previous century. As with the Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism of the ‘War on Terror’, and the anti-Black racism of the ‘War on Drugs’, the rise in anti-Asian racism is intimately bound up with the fear-mongering narratives promoted to justify a New Cold War.
It is wholly insufficient to criticize the overt bigotry promoted by Trump and his ilk, but continue promoting hostile confrontation with China, which inevitably lays the groundwork for such hatred to flourish. The fight against anti-Asian racism requires fighting against the New Cold War.
We support China and the US basing their relations on cooperation and dialogue, centering on the common issues which face humanity, including climate change, global health, racism, and economic development. We call on all those who stand for peace to demand that the US and its allies end their New Cold War against China.”
CNN’s Meanwhile in America
There are two trials into the death of George Floyd.
Physically assault and attack of Asian Americans are no longer racial discrimination, they are crimes to be prosecuted and executed. Whites claim to be the natives of America. Blacks although descendants of slaves also claim to be natives of America. So these two groups of people tell Asian Americans to go back where they came from. These two groups of people who assault and attack violently Asian Americans. First, it is necessary for Asian Americans to organize for self-protection. Second, it is necessary to demand the government to protect its citizens from harm or loss of life.
Illegal Aliens
There has been a historical tendency for Democratic administrations not to enforce the immigration law and so illegal aliens multiplies like rabbits in America. It is reported that there are 65 million illegal aliens residing in America now and most of them on welfare. When will the government do a thorough job in enforcing the law and deporting the illegal aliens. America is the most mismanaged nation on earth, mismanagement in many areas, one of them is the open border that illegal aliens swarmed in freely. When I was working my way through college, Mexican pregnant women used to walked in and had their babies delivered free at Los Angeles County Hospital, and they bred and lived happily hereafter on welfare. There are so many unwed single women in America today who are on welfare, the more illegitimate children they have the more welfare they get.
Illegal migrants are not refugees, most of them are economic migrants or fortune seekers. They all have one dream or goal is to reach America or Europe so that they can live happily on welfare. Now they realize they cannot enter the United States, so they send swarms and herds of their children. It must be said, illegal migrants are not the American problems. Children of illegal migrants are not responsibilities of America. How and what and why the American government takes in thousands and thousands of children of illegal migrants is not what an ordinary American would do. America is already bankrupt with the largest national debt and deficits in the world. Who is to pay to house, feed, clothe, educate, and giving health care to thousands and thousands (it would be soon millions) children of illegal aliens? It is not what a smart government would do, knowing America has enough of its problems. If America is smart, no more asylums of any kind will be admitted. An American leader or politician who creates problems and liabilities for America is not patriotic at all.
Fake news
Those who are expert liars would start by saying “numerous reports” as if they were objective and not telling lies. I think this problem is so serious that you do not know who is telling the truth and what is worse all Western mainstream media are the same and they cannot be trusted because of their ideological and hegemonic reasons. This phenomenon is equivalent pandemic of news or journalism. It is not difficult to reach the conclusion: there is no truth in the world.
“Over the past 40 years, the Uygur population in Xinjiang has grown from 5.55 million to 12.7 million, and their average life expectancy has increased from 30 to 72 years. Those politicians and media outlets that talk of “genocide” in Xinjiang must be well aware of the West’s colonialist history of slave trafficking and slaughter of indigenous peoples as well as the Nazi concentration camps. They must know full well that there is no “genocide” in Xinjiang. The reason why they are so keen to fabricate the “lie of the century” about Xinjiang is because they want to make use of it to harvest multiple “strategic gains”.
It is very funny and serious, the statement of the American leader that he does not want China to surpass America as a global leader reveals the truth that America is the dictator of the world and the real American values. America in reality does not believe in freedom, does not believe in free competition, does not believe in democracy but autocracy, does not believe in equality but monopoly, does not believe in justice but practice injustice, does not want peace but want war to dictate and dominate the world. American crises are time bombs. Sooner or later they will explode. I had witnessed the two black riots in my American life in Los Angeles.
National debt and deficits
America should have been insolvent and bankrupt long ago but because it is the sole superpower, controls the international order of credit, currency, banking and finance. However, self-deception is no remedy for suicide; it is like a patient of terminal cancer is running a Marathon.
“The national debt ($35. T) is the total amount of outstanding borrowing by the U.S. Federal Government accumulated over the nation’s history. ”
“A budget deficit occurs when money going out (spending) exceeds money coming in (revenue) during a defined period. In FY 2023, the federal government spent $6.13 trillion and collected $4.44 trillion in revenue, resulting in a deficit. The amount by which spending exceeds revenue, $1.70 trillion in 2023, is referred to as deficit spending. “
“When Jimmy Carter took office, the debt was $669.2 billion. Four years later, at the end of his term, the debt had risen to $964.5 billion. The debt increased by $1.77 trillion during Reagan’s two terms; $1.4 trillion under Bush the elder; $1.5 trillion under Clinton; $5.3 trillion under Bush the younger; $8.7 trillion during the Obama presidency; and $3.3 trillion under President Trump, through January 2020.”
Where all the monies go? Who and what groups of people benefit most of the American deficits and national debt? Safe for you to find out yourself.
Healthcare
“In many ways, healthcare is the most important issue for our nation’s fiscal and economic future. It represents nearly one-fifth of our entire economy, and it’s the second fastest-growing part of the budget.
The United States spends nearly three times as much on healthcare as other advanced nations, but unfortunately our system does not always provide better health outcomes. Health policy experts point to excessive waste in our healthcare system as the culprit behind our high costs. The Health and Medicine Division of the National Academies of Science, for example, has estimated that about 30 percent of total healthcare spending goes to unnecessary, ineffective, overpriced, and wasteful services. That leads many analysts to believe that there are substantial opportunities for the United States to maintain or improve our health outcomes at lower cost.
Containing the cost of healthcare is difficult because the United States pays for healthcare through a number of public and private channels including the federal and state healthcare programs, private insurers, and individual out-of-pocket payments. To avoid simply shifting costs around, system-wide reforms to the delivery and payment system offer the most promise for reducing the rate of cost growth while also preserving healthcare access and quality. To help identify and scale up those approaches, the Foundation launched the Peterson Center on Healthcare in 2014.
Policy Options
The federal government is the largest payer of healthcare expenditures. Its programs insure low-income families and many of the people who have high healthcare costs — older individuals and those in need of long-term care. In addition, the federal government provides direct subsidies to help moderate-income people purchase insurance and uses the tax code to subsidize employment-based health insurance. While containing the growth in healthcare costs is important to our nation’s long-term fiscal future, the federal programs exist to achieve certain policy objectives. Consequently, policymakers cannot simply clamp down on federal costs without the risk of shifting costs to other parts of the healthcare system and potentially disrupting access to good care for intended beneficiaries. Careful federal action can, however, address fiscal concerns while protecting program beneficiaries. Reforms also can influence the overall healthcare system because of the significant federal role.
· Reducing federal healthcare subsidies. These options would continue to make the programs available, but would limit federal costs. For Medicare, options include raising the eligibility age, increasing premiums, or increasing taxes on benefits, which would reduce the level of financial assistance provided to higher income beneficiaries. Federal costs could also be limited by imposing caps on spending for Medicaid and subsidies for health insurance.”
“But health care costs remain a major challenge. National health spending is projected to continue to grow faster than the economy, increasing from 18 percent of the economy to about 25 percent by 2037. Even with the new law, federal health spending is projected to increase from 25 percent of total federal spending to about 40 percent by 2037.”
Imagine the federal health spending does not include individual American health spending. If America is ruled by a philosopher king, he has to execute many doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, medical suppliers, etc. for fraud and overcharges.
American and European past mistakes need to be corrected
By CNN
“President Joe Biden offered some of his most expansive remarks yet on the philosophy of his foreign policy during his first formal White House news conference, going deep on three hot issues facing his administration:
Overall, his performance was strong as he doubled his vaccine pledge to 200 million doses in 100 days, asked for more time to improve handling of an influx of child migrants on the border and blasted Republican voter suppression efforts in multiple states as “sick” and “un-American.”
He gave the impression that he knows exactly why he was elected president — to end the pandemic — and appears to have a firm idea of what he is trying to do at home and abroad. But will his plans survive the test of events?
According to CNN:
“Border Patrol agents rescued two young Ecuadorian sisters on Tuesday after alleged human smugglers dropped them over a 14-foot-tall border fence in the New Mexico desert, according to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP), whichreleased videoshowing the kids, aged 3 and 5, being dropped on the US side. The girls were given medical checks and are now in Border Patrol temporary holding, joining more than 4,900 other unaccompanied minors.”
Why the American leader wants to accept hundreds of thousands of children (I predict pretty soon will be millions) of illegal aliens who are fortune seekers and seek economic opportunity in America so that the American government will feed, house, clothe, educate and provide medical care for their children is beyond the rational thinking of any patriotic American. Compounded by the thought America has the largest deficits and greatest national debt in the world today. This kind of things would happen continuously because the American citizens do not have sovereignty over the nation and there is no national referendum to decide and determine what America should do. So the American leaders can do whatever they want and lead America to the final destruction. How sad and sour it is when the American immigration policy is made and controlled by illegal migrants and aliens. It is sad and sour when patriotic Americans cannot find anyone or anybody who is responsible in the US government for anything.
America is deliberate not execution of the JAPANESE EMPEROR who was the world dictator during and after the WWII.
IV. WESTERN POWERS IN CRISIS
In the last 500 years white supremacist have ruled the world and conquered many countries in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Latin America.
USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, France, Germany, Japan, etc. All have committed genocides in the past and none has paid reparations or compensations.
“Pope Francis met with both Vatican-based Canadian cardinals on Saturday as their country reels from the discovery of the remains of 215 children at a former school for indigenous students run by the Catholic Church.
Many Canadians have called on the pope to make a formal apology for the Catholic Church’s role in the residential schools, which operated between 1831 and 1996 and were run by a number of Christian denominations on behalf of the government.
Francis, who was elected pope in 2013, has already apologized for the Church’s role in colonialism in the Americas but he has mostly chosen to make such apologies while visiting countries. No papal visit to Canada is scheduled.
Visiting Bolivia in 2015, Francis apologized for the “many grave sins were committed against the native people of America in the name of God”.
The German people are the only one in Europe who deserve respect because when they have done wrong, they acknowledge it and make reparations.
In my opinion, the British empire is the most evil of all empires. I am also aware of the Roman empire, Assyrian Empire, Aztec Empire, the 3rd Reich, and Khmer Rouge.
1. UNITED KINGDOM IN CRISIS
By Fiona Edwards
Published on Morning Star, March 22, 2021 ___________________________________
“Britain will be joining the US’s new cold war against China in a move that is both dangerous for the entire world and against the interests of the British people.
That is the meaning of the Tory government’s latest Defence and Foreign Policy Review, Global Britain in a Competitive Age, that was published on Tuesday March 16.
Not only will this cold war see Britain waste billions of pounds in a ridiculously provocative and aggressive military build-up against China in the Pacific region but it is also inevitable that engaging in such acts of belligerence will cost Britain many jobs as vital trade and investment from China will be lost.
US offensive against China
The central foreign policy priority of the US administration under President Joe Biden is to wage a multi-faceted offensive against China, with the goal of blocking China’s national rejuvenation, and Britain is joining in with this attack as a junior partner.
The new US Secretary of State Antony Blinken set the tone for Biden’s administration in his first major speech on March 3 when he described the rise of China as the “biggest geopolitical test” facing the US in the 21st century.
Days later on March 9 the head of the US Indo-Pacific Command, Admiral Philip Davidson, asked the US Congress for $27 billion (£19.3bn) extra funds for new military hardware and practice military exercises so that the US could get into a position of being “prepared to fight and win should competition turn into conflict.”
Biden’s team has already started the work of attempting to build an international front of US allies against China as the central pillar of Washington’s foreign policy — and that’s where “Global Britain” fits in.
The Tory government’s Defense and Foreign Policy Review essentially presents Britain’s role in the world as junior partner to the US, which the document describes as “the UK’s most important strategic ally” in confronting the “systemic challenge” represented by China and the “hostile” threat that Russia allegedly poses.
Britain’s increasing military aggression against China
Despite Boris Johnson’s subdued and conciliatory rhetoric and tone, which attempted to pose Britain’s participation in the new cold war against China as an “Indo-Pacific tilt” which would include building “a stronger and positive economic relationship” with Beijing, the truth is that Britain is increasing its military aggression against China.
The new cold war against China will cost British jobs
The reality is that Britain’s participation in the new cold war is an act of self-harm and the material interests of the British people are going to be sacrificed in order to carry out the dictates of Washington.
It is absurd that the government’s “Global Britain” Review suggests that at the same time as increasing military aggression against China, Britain will also be able to “continue to pursue a positive trade and investment relationship with China.”
The Tories are completely naive to believe that China will invest and create jobs in Britain if this country enthusiastically participates in Washington’s cold war.
Johnson’s decision to take Britain into a new cold war against China is against the interests of both the Chinese and British people.
Next to the Roman Empire, the British empire is probably the most evil empire in modern history. Yet the UK has not compensated to all its colonial victims who suffered genocide, abuses of human rights, and injustice. The leaders of UK have not apologized to their victims for all the crimes and iniquities of its inglorious past.
UK leaders should come out to tell Palestinians, Arabs, and Hamas that they have no claim to the Holy Land and no resettlement right in the Jewish land. UK leaders should come out to tell India that the British empire unlawfully incorporated large areas of Chinese territories into the Indian Map and solve the India-China border conflict once and for all.
To join America in aggression is the path of destruction for UK.
BRITAIN’s hypocrisy
Boris Johnson’s political hypocrisy is malicious. UK and US financed and trained and supported Chinese rioters in Hong Kong committed much worse terrorist acts than the people of Bristol, the prime minister strongly criticized “disgraceful attacks” on police officers while approved the Hong Kong terrorists who attacked police and residents.
“BRISTOL, England (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday strongly criticised “disgraceful attacks” on police officers after protests in Bristol against a new policing bill turned violent, resulting in 10 arrests.
Local police said bricks, glass bottles and eggs were thrown at police late on Friday evening after a protest on Friday afternoon turned sour in the late evening.
“Last night saw disgraceful attacks against police officers in Bristol. Our officers should not have to face having bricks, bottles and fireworks being thrown at them by a mob intent on violence and causing damage to property,” Johnson said in a tweet. “ UK, US and Australia financed, incited and paid Chinese rioters to commit terrorist acts in attacking police and residents in Hong Kong and called them freedom fighters. To the contrary, Johnson called those “disgraceful attacks” on police. You see the West has distorted mind and lacking the truth.
Of all the empires in history, probably the British empire is the worst. The border war of China-India is a liable legacy of the British empire. The leaders of the British empire wanted to make their colony India look bigger, so in the Indian Map they incorporated large areas of Chinese territory. The UK leaders have no moral character and courage to come out and tell India and once and for all resolve the conflict.
However, life under the British wasn’t all just incredible inventions. Alongside the good stuff the Empire did sat a whole ream of not-so-good stuff, and alongside that a whole load of other stuff so evil it’d make Dick Dastardly balk. We all now know about the horrors of concentration camps, but during the time of Boer Wars, rounding up tens of thousands of innocent people and detaining them in camps seemed like a stroke of genius. The British needed the South African populace under control and had the means and manpower to detain them. What could possibly go wrong?
Try just about everything. Pitched under the white hot African sun and crawling with flies, the camps were overcrowded, under-equipped, and lethally prone to disease outbreaks. Food supplies were virtually non-existent, and the callous guards would dock people’s meager rations for the slightest perceived offense. The result: sickness and death spread like wildfire, killing women by the thousands and children by the tens of thousands. In a single year, 10 percent of the entire Boer population died in the British camps—a figure that gets even worse when you realize it includes 22,000 children.
But the atrocity didn’t stop there. While rounding up the Boers, the British also decided to detain any black Africans they encountered, 20,000 of whom were worked to death in slave labor camps. All told, British policy in the war killed 48,000 civilians. That’s 18,000 more than the number of soldiers lost on both sides.
Harsh and brutal, these centers housed the sort of horrors that would make Kim Jong-Un feel ill. Detainees were stripped naked and kept in refrigerated cells, encouraging frostbite and pneumonia. Guards would stub their cigarettes out on prisoner’s skin and beatings were common. But perhaps worst of all was the sexual humiliation. Locals who had been detained could expect to have their genitals crushed by guards’ hands, or to be forced to sit naked on a metal pole; their weight forcing it into their anus.
By 1966, an Amnesty report on these abuses had caused global outrage. Faced with international condemnation, the British apologized. They then kept right on using the torture centers for another full year.
The big myth of the British Empire is that it nobly withdrew from its colonies when it realized the days of Imperialism were over. Yet one look at Cyprus proves the myth to be just a feel-good fairy tale. Between 1955 and 1959, the British responded to a Cyrpus rebel bombing campaign by rounding up and torturing 3,000 ordinary Cypriots.
The victims of this internment campaign were often held for years without trial and violently abused for being “suspected” terrorists. Detainees received regular beatings, waterboarding, and summary executions. Children as young as 15 had burning hot peppers rubbed in their eyeballs, while others reported being flogged with whips embedded with shards of iron. Those found guilty of rebel sympathies were relocated to London, where a UK opposition party inspection found inmates with their arms broken and jagged scars running across their necks. In short, it was an appallingly sadistic policy, one that showed the British to be even lower than the terrorists they were meant to be fighting.
In the 1950s, the people of Kenya decided they wanted their nation back. Unfortunately, the people they wanted it back from just happened to be the same guys responsible for every other atrocity on this list. Fearing a countrywide rebellion, the British rounded up 1.5 million people and placed them in concentration camps. What happened in these camps will turn your stomach.
Under slogans like “labor and freedom” and other variations on ” Arbeit macht frei,” inmates were worked to death as slave labor filling in mass graves. Random executions were not-uncommon and the use of torture was widespread. Men were anally raped with knives. Women had their breasts mutilated and cut off. Eyes were gouged out and ears cut off and skin lacerated with coiled barbed wire. People were castrated with pliers then sodomized by guards. Interrogation involved stuffing a detainee’s mouth with mud and stamping on his throat until he passed out or died. Survivors were sometimes burned alive.
The official body count is under 2,000, but more reliable estimates place the total dead in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Most of them were civilians or children, detained on vague, trumped-up charges of aiding the rebels. And it was all for nothing. Kenya was declared independent in 1963. In using those camps, the British lost both their African outpost and their souls.”
The Bengal Famine
“In 1943, a deadly famine swept the Bengal region of modern East India and Bangladesh. Between one and three million people died in a tragedy that was completely preventable. At the time, the extent of suffering was put down to an incompetent British government too busy dealing with a war to look after its empire properly. But in 2010 a new book came out claiming the lack of famine relief was deliberate and that the deaths of those millions had been intentionally engineered by one man: Winston Churchill.
According to the book, Churchill refused to divert supplies away from already well-supplied British troops, saying the war effort wouldn’t allow it. This in itself wouldn’t be too damning, but at the same time he allegedly blocked American and Canadian ships from delivering aid to India either. Nor would he allow the Indians to help themselves: the colonial government forbade the country from using its own ships or currency reserves to help the starving masses. Meanwhile, London pushed up the price of grain with hugely inflated purchases, making it unaffordable for the dying and destitute. Most-chillingly of all, when the government of Delhi telegrammed to tell him people were dying, Churchill allegedly only replied to ask why Gandhi hadn’t died yet.
If all this is true—and documents support it—then Winston Churchill, the British war hero who stood up to the Nazis, may well have starved to death as many innocent people as Stalin did in the Ukrainian genocide. Could the man who held out against Hitler really be capable of such an atrocity? Judging by the rest of this list, it wouldn’t be surprising.”
2. CANADA IN CRISIS
Canada like the U.S. has a dark and dirty history of killing the native American Indians and robbing their lands. Canada has not apologized and compensated the few Red Indians left in Canada.
“Out of political purposes, a small group of Western countries, Canada included, attempt to spread disinformation and lies to frame China at the Human Rights Council, said Chinese Mission spokesperson Liu Yuyin, noting that China will fight back resolutely any injustice and trespasses done to it.
By Liu Xin
“China will make no compromise on issues related to its core interests, for example the Xinjiang related ones. Neither will China alter its laws to free foreign law-violators,” Jia said, noting that what Canada needs to do currently is to repent its own genocide history and sincerely apologize to indigenous people it has killed. Despite grave and shocking human rights violations within their own borders, countries including Canada have never taken any substantive actions to address the violations. For them, human rights is nothing but lip service or a tool to attack others, said Liu. The recent discovery of the remains of over 200 indigenous children at a Canadian boarding school is yet another reminder of Canada’s historical atrocities of killing the indigenous people and eradicating their culture. Over 150,000 indigenous children in Canada were forcibly taken away from their parents and sent to boarding schools, where at least 4,000 children died of unnatural causes. Until today, people of Asian and African descent in Canada are still suffering from systemic racial discrimination, and rights of migrants were wantonly offended.”CANADIAN GENOCIDE According to “The TRC labelled the residential school system as a case of cultural genocide. The final report defined cultural genocide as the “destruction of those structures and practices that allow the group to continue as a group.” It stated that residential schools “were part of a coherent policy to eliminate Aboriginal people as distinct peoples and to assimilate them into the Canadian mainstream against their will.The TRC also argued that the Sixties Scoop — the large-scale removal of over 20,000 Indigenous children in Canada — was a form of cultural genocide. The report noted that the closure of residential schools led to “a significant increase in the number of children being taken into care by child-welfare agencies.” Thousands of Indigenous children across the country were forcibly removed from their birth homes. In 1985, Justice Edwin Kimelman’s report on Indigenous peoples and child welfare policies, No Quiet Place, also argued that “cultural genocide has been taking place in a systematic, routine manner.”The inquiry used the term genocide to characterize the pattern of violence against Indigenous women and girls in Canada (as well as Indigenous peoples, in general) and the federal government’s response to these systematic human rights violations. According to the MMIWG inquiry, the primary reason for the higher rates of violence against Indigenous peoples in Canada is the “persistent and deliberate human and Indigenous rights violations and abuses.” The final report argued that various colonial laws, policies and programs, such as the Indian Act and the child welfare system, are intent on “destroy[ing] Indigenous Peoples.” Chief commissioner of the inquiry, Marion Buller said of the report, “[it] is about deliberate race, identity and gender-based genocide.”People pay tribute to the murdered aboriginal children in Ottawa, Canada, on June 4.Photo: Xinhua Hypocrites like Canadians who claim to be Christians but committed deliberate lies and murders are not isolated incident in the West. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Friday the Catholic Church must take responsibility for its role in running many of the schools.The residential school system forcibly separated about 150,000 children from their homes. Many were subjected to abuse, rape and malnutrition in what the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2015 called “cultural genocide”.Run by the government and various Christian Churches, their stated aim was to assimilate indigenous children.In 2008, the Canadian government formally apologized for the system. Trudeau said on Friday many are “wondering why the Catholic Church in Canada is silent, is not stepping up” 3. AUSTRALIA IN CRISISAustralia, America, Canada and New Zealand have similar dark and dirty history of killing the indigenous peoples of America, Australia Canada and robbing their lands. Australia should pay reparations and compensations to Australian aborigines now. Australia under the nincompoop leader is to build guided missiles not to boost defense capacity but to be used as an attack dog to target China in the frame work of QUAD. Australian genocide According tohttps://australian.museum/learn/first-nations/genocide-in-australia/Genocide brings to mind Hitler and the Jews, not Australia and AboriginesSarah Maddison, 2007 (1) “If you examine Australian history, you can see that the brutality of ongoing invasion and colonization fits in this definition of genocide in several ways. Firstly, the killing members of the group, if you look at the work of Professor Lyndall Ryan and her research team has found that there were at least 270 frontier massacres over 140 years of Australian history, as part of a state-sanctioned and organized attempts to eradicate First Nations people (3). For Ryan’s work, a massacre is defined as the deliberate killing of six or more defenseless people in one operation. If you investigate some of these massacres in depth you can see how systematic they were. Ryan’s work is in no means comprehensive as many massacres were not documented and many others covered up. Because of colonial genocidal actions like state-sanctioned massacres, the First Nations population went from an estimated 1-1.5 million before invasion to less than 100,000 by the early 1900s (4).” 4. NEW ZEALAND IN CRISIS New Zealand, Australia, Canada, and America all have similar dark and dirty history of killing its natives and robbing their land. New Zealand should pay reparations and compensations to the natives of New Zealand now. New Zealand genocide According to https://listverse.com/2013/05/03/10-atrocious-genocides-in-human-history/#:~:text=1 Moriori Genocide “The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand. They have dwelled in the area for some eight hundred years. About five hundred years ago, a group of Maori migrated to the nearby Chatham Islands, where they began their own society that focused on peaceful living. They called themselves the Moriori. The remaining, warlike Maori tribes soon came into contact with Americans and Europeans, and while initial meetings sometimes ended in cannibalization of the foreigners, the Maoris highly valued Western guns—so trade flourished. Beginning in 1835, the now well-armed Maori arrived at the Chatham Islands, where they proceeded to murder and devour their defenseless cousins. Those who survived were enslaved, and forced to intermarry with the Maori. In less than thirty years from the moment of contact, there were only 101 Moriori left. The last pure-blooded Moriori died in 1933.” 5. FRANCE IN CRISIS “France not complicit in Rwanda genocide, says Macron commission France bears the burden of “heavy and damning responsibilities” in the Rwandan genocide but was not complicit in the slaughter, according to the findings of an official commission set up by Emmanuel Macron. As many as 800,000 people, mainly from Rwanda’s minority Tutsi ethnic population, were massacred in a wave…” France should pay reparations and compensations to its former colonies now. According to https://www.africanglobe.net/africa/22-african-presidents-assassinated-france-1963/22 African Presidents Have Been Assassinated By France Since 1963. African Leaders Assassinated Because They Refused To Be Puppets Of France. 6. EU IN CRISIS EU should not follow America in aggression. EU should have its independent foreign policy and coexist and cooperate with Russia and China. 7. NATO IN CRISIS NATO should disband and not to follow American aggression. NATO should coexist and cooperate with Russia.8. JAPAN IN CRISIS Japan is the only war crime nation unconditionally surrendered but refused to confess its genocides, war crimes, sex slavery, slave labor, and atrocities and refuses to pay reparations and compensations to its victims. Japan violates international law to dump the nuclear wastewater into the sea. The U.S. does not do anything about Japanese crimes because it is its running dogs. Japan To Dump Wastewater From Wrecked Fukushima Nuclear Plant Into Pacific Ocean. American leaders and politicians are completely corrupt and unprincipled to accept dictators, authoritarians, terrorists, war criminals, lawless persons on condition they serve the American evil empire. So they tolerate war crime nation of Japan not to fulfill its obligations, dump nuclear toxic wastewater into Pacific Ocean, violated the wishes of Japanese people, abuses of human rights and democracy, etc. without even a protest. Millions of tons of nuclear wastewater from Fukushima is dumped into the sea. “Roughly 1.25 million tons (1.13 million metric tons) of water have accumulated around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in northeastern Japan since 2011, after a magnitude-9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami devastated the region. The twin disasters killed nearly 20,000 people, according to NPR, and caused meltdowns in three of the plant’s six reactors, triggering the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl. To keep the remaining reactor cores from melting, officials with the Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) have been pumping nearly 200 tons (180 metric tons) of cooling water through the site every day, according to The New York Times. That contaminated wastewater is stored in more than 1,000 enormous tanks on site and automatically filtered to remove most of the radioactive material, except for tritium — a radioactive isotope of hydrogen that is considered hazardous to human health in large amounts, according to the nonprofit Health Physics Society.”VI. THE FINAL LINE-UPNATO – QUAD There are certain nations, knowingly or unknowingly, under the leadership of the U.S. to make themselves known as enemies of China, namely America, Canada, UK, NATO, France, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, India. The purpose of their political and military alliance is to encircle and target, destabilize and destroy China. This Axis of Evil clearly is motivated by fear and jealousy. First, they are afraid of China is going to surpass America and thereby lose their dictatorship and domination of the world. Secondly, they are jealous of China’s successes in many fields and fronts. Whenever and wherever China is doing well, they immediately lift high the banner of China threat and so-called security challenge. China is not competing with America or anybody, China is doing its own thing in reviving and restoring its past glory. This Axis would not let China do its own thing. They have to fabricate lies and fake news to criticize and curb and control the peaceful rise of China. For example, Huawei 5 G is the most advanced technology in the world, America cannot compete with it and so give it a bad name of so-called national security threat. Isn’t it ludicrous and ridiculous to charge Huawei of theft of intellectual property? If Huawei steals technology from America, how come it is more advanced than America or Europe? Anything and everything China is advanced becomes a threat and security problem to America and the West. How ridiculous! Job 5:2, “For irritation kills the fool, And jealousy brings death to the simple.” Hong Kong is a world business and finance center with the most expensive real estates in the world. So the Axis of Evil plotted, financed, and incited the stupid Hong Kong traitors to riots and terrors in the name of fighting for democracy and freedom. The Axis wants to make Hong Kong another Western colony again like Taiwan. America and UK, Canada, Australia are not really interested in democracy and freedom, they want to use Hong Kong to serve their global interest. Now that China has reinforced its constitutional sovereignty and security in its patriot rule, America and UK bigmouth that Hong Kong is losing democracy and freedom. The hypocritical never practice democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. Their unholy ambition of aggression becomes transparent to the Chinese citizens of Hong Kong and Mainland. America and the West harbors no good will or good intention toward China is a well-known historical fact.Psa 34:21, “Evil will bring death to the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt.” Note: Europe and America have been doing evil for hundreds of years. The most deplorable and fearful fact is that American leaders and politicians have abandoned Christian moral values, they would do anything and say anything to maintain world dictatorship and domination. To them truth and integrity do not matter. The most horrible and terrible prospect, verified by their words and deeds, is the risk they are willing to engage in a nuclear war that will destroy the world in order to achieve their unholy goal of world dictatorship and domination. They keep saying China’s challenge and threat to rationalize their irrational words and deeds. When China breaks wind, America catches tornado. When China sneezes, America catches hurricane. When China has a fever, America in delirium.“‘If you keep telling people something untrue loud and long enough, they’re apt to believe it.” So American leaders and politicians keep telling people something untrue loud and long, Russia and China are no threat to America. America has become an evil empire which is a threat to Russia, China and the world. It was good that President Biden says he does not want to have conflict with China. But that is not enough. America should not have conflict with China. American allies should not have conflict with China. But that is not enough. President should support his words with his deeds. President Biden should order cease and desist of all military and provocative activities and operations in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet, Xinjiang, the South China Sea, Diaoyu Islands, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea. America must stop all air space and territorial encroachments and violations of China’s sovereignty. America does not to help China, just stop all activities that harm China. China does not want conflict and competition with America. China wants to do its own things without interference and meddling from America and its allies. China does not want to be a hegemonic power to replace America. China has no interest or intention in territorial expansion or aggression. China wants to cooperate with all nations in the world big and small. The next thing to watch is whether Biden is just a talker not a doer. He said he does not want to have conflict with China, Biden needs to prove what he says by what he does. I believe Putin does not want conflict or competition with America either. Putin has expressed that Russia is not a hegemonic power. If America, China and Russia want peace, the world will have peace. The benefits, dividends and profits of peace will bring progress and prosperity and harmony in the world. This can be the new epoch of equality, liberty, security, tranquility, goodwill and civility. Jas 3:16, “For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.” Let me pose this question: if China has no difficulty in launching a space mission, what can stop China from launching a space mission with all its nuclear weapons to destroy its attackers? There is nothing murky or fussy about it. White supremacists admit, “The U.S. has thousands more nuclear weapons than China does and an array of precise conventional strike weapons and missile defenses that threaten Beijing’s ability to strike back. Unlike with Russia, the United States has never agreed to base its strategic relationship with China on mutual vulnerability – the Reagan-Gorbachev idea that a nuclear war between them could not be won and so must never be fought. ” The white and black American supremacists think and act they could destroy China at any time — their preparation points to the fact. Their miscalculate that Russia and other nations would sit still while America is attacking China? The most serious matter for warmongers to deliberate is the fact America is able to kill 1 billion Chinese, but there will still be 400 million Chinese around the world. China and Russia and others are able to kill 350 million Americans worldwide, there will be not one American left in the world. Warmongers mistake destruction for courage, and misconceive completely that it can win in a nuclear war. Lao Tzi said, “When you are content to be simply yourself and don’t compare or compete, everybody will respect you.” Now nobody respects America because it does not abide by the rule of competition, it uses military force and other weapons to target and threaten and sanction China. Bullying, banging, and bulldozering are most counterproductive. The Way of America is not the way of Heaven. “The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself. The more he gives to others, the more he gets himself. The Way of Heaven does one good but never does one harm. The Way of the sage is to act but not to compete.” I think it was Laozi who said the above. VII. CONCLUSION According to report, 21 Nov, 2019 Henry Kissinger made the statement and warns:“US-China tensions could lead to a conflict worse than First World War.”Hear Ye Hear Ye! I disagree with this understatement. In my opinion, if the United States wages a war against China and Russia, it is not going to be worse than the First or Second World War. For First and Second World Wars were conventional wars.This coming war is a nuclear war. It will spell out mutual destruction and destruction of the whole world. China never wants war. Russia does not want war. Clearly America and NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, France, etc. and Japan do everything to provoke and oppress and sanction China and Russia without cause and without measure, they definitely and clearly want war to eliminate competitors in order to maintain world domination and dictatorship. American and Western strategists and warmongers are deadly wrong in miscalculating as so does the “RAND PLAN” they could fight a war launching from American world-wide military bases against China and Russia as they used to fight in all previous and past wars on foreign lands. This war is different because it is nuclear.China and Russia will respond with all-out nuclear weapons targeting the whole mainland America, blanketing from California to New York, from South to North. The whole United States will be like a billion 9-11, a billion Sodom (s) and Gomorrah (s) burning. The destruction inside America will be unprecedented and unstoppable and unthinkable. By analogy, a thousand hawks will tear the Eagle to pieces. Simultaneously, all American global military bases will be wiped out and annihilated! No one will be a winner. It means total doom and destruction of the whole world!为什么美国不能与中国战争？The answer is MUTUAL DESTRUCTION,and DESTRUCTION of the World!同归于尽, 世界末日。 Any military attack by the United States of America the aggressor, must be immediately responded with massive and total nuclear retaliation to annihilate the warmonger. Thisis the only credible and effective deterrence.After studying all the arguments of secularists, I am more inclined to accept the thinking and conclusion of Blaise Pascal. “Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.”“Either Christianity is true or it’s false. If you bet that it’s true, and you believe in God and submit to Him, then if it IS true, you’ve gained God, heaven, and everything else. If it’s false, you’ve lost nothing, but you’ve had a good life marked by peace and the illusion that ultimately, everything makes sense. If you bet that Christianity is not true, and it’s false, you’ve lost nothing. But if you bet that it’s false, and it turns out to be true, you’ve lost everything and you get to spend eternity in hell.”“There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.”The state of the world is not good, most dangerous and perilous because the wicked proceed from evil to worse. The world is not getting better but getting worse and worse. The only hope is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge the world and reign with the saints to commence a thousand years of peace on earth, and after that the eternal Kingdom of God. Nuclear war will destroy America and Europe, Russia and China, and the whole world.bing.com/images In fact, Americans and Europeans are most afraid of death because they own most of the world. They have so much that they are not willing to leave behind. They foolishly believe and think nuclear weapons can protect them. President Richard Nixon was the only American president who sought a just and lasting peace for the world. I proclaim the truth and warn American and European leaders, I am obedient to the Word of God, whether they repent or not repent is their own business. French author Maxime Vivas for revealing the truth about Xinjiang in his book. Vivas wrote the book entitled “Uygurs, to put an end to fake news” after his two trips to Xinjiang, telling real stories about the Chinese region that enjoys prosperity and stability for its people.Beijing lauds French writer, 79, who disputes Uighur genocide. Maxime Vivas, 79, was an ergonomist for France Télécom Maxime Vivas, in his book he has written claims that reports of genocide against the Uighur ethnic minority result from a CIA-inspired conspiracy.” As a watchman I see the nuclear war coming and so I blow the horn to warn Americans and the peoples of the world. I have asked the leaders of the United Nations, Nobel Peace Committee, the EU, the Southern Baptist Convention, WTO, IMF, WORLD BANK, WHO, etc. to come out and stand together to make a formal statement and declaration against the nuclear war. I have done what I have done. This is what the Lord God says, 1Pe 3:11: “HE MUST TURN AWAY FROM EVIL AND DO GOOD; HE MUST SEEK PEACE AND PURSUE IT.” The biggest political fallacy is “See if America will save you now!” America cannot even save itself, how can it save anybody else? It is more real than the so-called The Thucydides Trap. The devil can enter the heart of an evildoer without his knowledge. Jhn 13:2, “And during supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, to betray Him.” The devil put into the heart of Judas the traitor to betray Jesus. Watching the words and deeds of many Western leaders and politicians for so long, you wonder if the devil has put into their hearts to do evil things. If they start a nuclear war against Russia and China, then you know for sure what the devil has put into their hearts. “The real enemies are not Russia or China, as reported by Kevin Liptak, CNN, “It is very unfortunate we live today in the age of perilous time. It is very fortunate that the Lord Jesus Christ may return to the earth in our lifetime.If you carefully watch the words and deeds of Western leaders and politicians and also be alert to their daily military exercises and deployment, operations and preparations, apparently a premeditated nuclear war is not only likely, it is probable. When you prepare a funeral, you are going to have a funeral. Warmongers on purpose create crisis upon crisis, their militarists exist luxuriously only to wage wars, large resources and appropriations are geared to their clear objectives, they automatically trigger one-sided hostilities, destined to want war to maintain world dictatorship and domination, their malicious intent cannot be discounted or misunderstood. What America thinks of China is important. So far they are all wrong and dangerous not based on facts. What America does ACT toward China is consequently vital whether America and its allies will start a nuclear war or not. Some American strategists want to start a conventional war starting from a proxy war from all their military bases. THERE IS NO MISCALCULATION. For that is FATAL because all attacks against China will respond with an all-out nuclear response to annihilate the enemies. I agree with Dante Alighieri, “Pride, envy, avarice – these are the sparks have set on fire the hearts of all men.” Lovers of self, lover of money, and lover of pleasures have set the whole world on fire. Imperialists, militarists, capitalists, supremacists, hegemonists, monopolists are lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure. The lovers of self, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure are ungodly men. Their only remedy is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge the world, and the world are being reserved for fire. Russia and China have neither plan nor motive to start a nuclear war against America and its allies. America and its allies have plan, and plenty of evidence, and declared motive to start a nuclear war against Russia and China. Because of unrighteousness the earth and everything in it will be destroyed, and will be burned up. Scientifically speaking, what kind of “intense heat” can destroy and burn up the elements? According toThe Physics Factbook, “Immediately after the explosion time, the temperature of the weapon material isseveral tens of million degreesand the pressures are estimated to bemany million atmospheres.” Note: Element in Greek is stoicheion which means “the elements from which all things have come, the material causes of the universe” (Strong’s Concordance); – which occurs 12 times in the New Testament. There are many chemical elements, from actinium to zirconium. Just take one chemical element we are familiar with iron Fe. According to Wikipedia, the melting point of Fe is 2,800°F (1,538°C). Reference: www.wisegeek.com/which-material-has-the-highest-melting-point.htm“The chemical element with the highest melting point is carbon, at 4300–4700 K(4027–4427 °C, 7280–8000 °F). The second highest melting point of the chemical elements is tungsten, at 3695 K (3422 °C, 6192 °F), which is why it is used as a filament for light bulbs.” According to Simon Fung, “The “Little Boy”that exploded in Hiroshima had a huge damaging effect. The temperature of this fission reaction was about 300,000 kelvin at the center and about 6000 kelvin on the ground below.” Now we have some idea what “intense heat” means. In a nuclear war, not only chemical elements will be melted, and everything will be destroyed. If 2,000 years ago the Bible said the present world would be destroyed by “nuclear fire”, the world would be shocked because nobody knew what “nuclear” meant. Today we know about nuclear weapons (including bomb, warhead, AAM, ABM, ACM, ICBM, etc.) 2Pe 3:10-14, “But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the Heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of God, because of which the Heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new Heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless.”Luk 21:26, “people fainting from fear and the expectation of the things that are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” Luk 12:32, “Do not be afraid, little flock, because your Father has chosen to give you the Kingdom.” Christians who believe in God also believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and the Savior of the world. Christians, look up, for our Redeemer is near. Lift up your heads, for the Lord is at the door. Luk 21:28, “But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”Let all Christians of all generations straighten up and lift up our heads for the coming of the King of kings and Lord of lords! Let us kneel down, bow and worship the true God.You have learned the facts that the state of the world is most dangerous and perilous. The second coming of Jesus Christ is imminent.

“The U.S. mainstream has caught up with the existence of racism toward Asians in America, mainly because it has become harder to ignore. Violence directed at Asian Americans has skyrocketed since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.According to the Asian American Bar Association of New York, more than 2,500 cases of anti-Asian “hate incidents” have been reported across the country between the months of March and September of 2020. Notable cases include the January assault of an elder Thai man in San Francisco and the stabbing of a Chinese man in New York’s Chinatown last month.
“Violence directed at Asian Americans has skyrocketed since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The wave of violence has caught the attention of the Biden administration, the corporate media, and prominent celebrities. Former NBA and current G-League player Jeremy Lin took a strong stance against anti-Asian racism in late February. Lin’s post on Facebook came in response to
being called “coronavirus” on the basketball court. His statement ended with a question: “Is anyone listening?” While more has been said in recent weeks about the rise of anti-Asian racism and the urgency to address it, scant attention has been placed on the context of anti-Asian racism and its roots in the history of U.S. imperialism.
The United States was a willing participant in China’s “Century of Humiliation” following the Opium Wars of the early to mid-19th century. Prominent capitalists such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s maternal grandfather Warren Delano enriched themselves from the sale of opium, an industry imposed on China by way of treaties that massively displaced and impoverished the population.
American gunboats sailed along the Yangtze protecting U.S. interests for nearly a century prior to the Chinese Revolution of 1949. Migrant Chinese workers in the United States were dehumanized as “coolies” to justify the white supremacist violence leveled against them, even by a large sectionof organized labor .
The dehumanization of peoples of Asian descent is often isolated and disconnected from the white supremacist violence experienced by Black and indigenous peoples in the United States. Yet the U.S.’s original sins of racialized slavery and settler colonialism helped form the material basis for the rise of anti-Asian racism. During the decade and a half-long U.S. occupation of the Philippines, U.S. soldiers justified mass slaughter and plunder by routinely equating the Filipino people with the same racist tropes used to describe Black Americans and Indigenous nations. Eventually, a unique language of racism was deployed to normalize not only the destruction of the Philippines but also the internment of Japanese residents and the brutal wars of aggression waged in Korea, Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia . As Black Americans faced the violence and exploitation of Jim Crow, the scope of white supremacy was widening in service of the U.S. project of imperialist domination.
“The U.S.’s original sins of racialized slavery and settler colonialism helped form the material basis for the rise of anti-Asian racism.”
However, U.S. imperialism has also required white supremacy to constantly shape shift to fit the interests of its ruling class. State violence and economic dislocation has unevenly affected the various nationalities that make up the “Asian American” umbrella. A concerted effort to “diversify” the U.S. mainstream with popular movies and programs highlighting of “Asian” riches has intensified the identification of Asian America as a privileged stratum far closer to white America on the class ladder than the U.S.’s oppressed and super exploited Black and Indigenous populations. The U.S. corporate media and political establishment has reinforced this generalization by paying close attention to forces in Asian American communities calling for more law enforcement protection against racist violence.
All of this combined has divorced anti-Asian racism from its roots in the development of U.S. imperialism. The separation of anti-Asian racism from U.S. imperialism has both encouraged a potential reliance on the state to resolve the very racist violence it commits with regularity and the systematic erasure of the real reasons behind the rise in anti-Asian racism in the United States. Just as the United States deployed racism to justify its empire-building in the Asia Pacific during the 20th century, so too has the U.S. ruling class intensified a deep skepticism of China amid the devastating spread of COVID-19 on the U.S. mainland. While the corporate media has acknowledged the role of Trump’s scapegoating of China for the spread of COVID-19, it hasn’t explained why the U.S. is so hostile toward China in the first place.
“U.S. imperialism has required white supremacy to constantly shape shift to fit the interests of its ruling class.”
The truth is that “Kung Flu” and other racist tropes peddled by Trump and his legions are only one aspect of a larger U.S. campaign to contain the rise of China. China is set to surpass the United States as the world’s largest economy within a decade and has garnered favorable international attention for its containment of COVID-19 and its efforts to curb extreme poverty and climate breakdown . The rise of China has placed the hegemony of U.S. imperialism into question on the highest stage possible: that of the fundamental relations between nations and economies. This has spurred a U.S.-led New Cold War against China led by all sections of Washington’s establishment, including its most left-leaning elements.
The New Cold War on China is first and foremost a military campaign comprised of four hundred U.S. military bases, hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops, and over sixty percent of all U.S. naval assets stationed in the Asia Pacific. But the U.S. strategy to contain China includes political and economic sabotage. Sanctions have been placed on Chinese officials and tech corporations and the U.S. has waged an endless campaign of interference in China’s internal affairs relating to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the city of Hong Kong. Both corporate and so-called progressive media such as Democracy Now have obsessively focused on the reproduction of negative stories that mirror the U.S. Department of State’s official posture toward China. The endless stream of anti-China propaganda has been effective; eighty percent of all Americans currently view China unfavorably, according to recent polls.
“The U.S. strategy to contain China includes political and economic sabotage.”
The only difference between the recent wave of intense anti-Asian racism and that which has endured over the course of U.S. history is the stage of the imperialist system. The U.S is no longer a rising empire. Rather, U.S. imperialism has entered a state of decay decades in the making and can only speak the language of military, political, and economic violence. The struggle against anti-Asian racism thus cannot be left to the militarized police forces terrorizing Black American communities or to the larger U.S. political apparatus that honed anti-Asian racism as a weapon of imperialist expansionism. Instead, U.S. hostility toward China and the peoples of the East should be seen as an opportunity to develop the broadest popular front possible toward the cause of peace, self-determination, and liberation from the oppressive rule of imperialism.”
These six Western nations have made themselves enemies of China on the false ground that China is a human rights abuser in Xinjiang. The truth is China has succeeded in winning the war over Islamic terrorists where human rights and justice did not exist, only murders, rapes and lawlessness reigned in Xinjiang. Today the Chinese Xinjiang composed of various ethnics groups living in peace and harmony and enjoying prosperity is such an achievement which the West could not do. America and its allies have fought against Taliban the Islamic terrorists for more than 20 years and failed, but killed millions of innocent people, and shamelessly now trying to make peace with Taliban. As regards Hong Kong which the evil British empire by force took it from China in 1842 after the First Opium War and never practiced so-called democracy or human rights in the colony. United Kingdom did not apologize nor pay compensations to China; to the contrary, they plotted with America and financially supported Chinese traitors and terrorists to cause riots and lawlessness with intentions to turn Hong Kong into a Western colony again. Chinese government did the right thing to establish the sovereignty and security in the Constitution and only Chinese patriots are empowered to rule Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a jewel and world financial center beyond the reach and robbery of the West. The Western nations who were behind the Hong Kong riots and terrorists have no shame or morality.
This article does not mean there is only something wrong with America. There are many wrongs with every nation on earth. There are many things wrong with the world. I have written much about the darkness of the world, the dark forces of the world. I do not belong to the world. The world cannot be saved. But being an American citizen, I am obliged to do something for America. If you see your own house is set on fire, you do not shout FIRE and do nothing? Will you not shout? Since I am not elected or appointed nor paid to do a job, why should I bother for nothing? Wasting my time and efforts for nothing but trouble? I cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
US media hailed a Newlines Institute report accusing China of Uyghur genocide as a “landmark” independent analysis. A look beneath the surface reveals it as a regime change propaganda tool by interventionist operatives at a sham university.
By Ajit Singh
Published on the Grayzone, Mar 17, 2021 ____________________________________
Throughout March 2021, headlines in corporate media outlets from CNN to The Guardian blared about the release of the “first independent report” to authoritatively determine that the Chinese government has violated “each and every act” of the United Nations convention against genocide, and therefore “bears State responsibility for committing genocide against the Uyghurs.”
CNN, The Guardian, AFP, and the CBC hailed the March 8 Newlines report as an “independent analysis” and a “landmark legal report” that involved “dozens of international experts.” Samantha Power, the Biden administration’s nominee to direct the US Agency for International Development (USAID), also promoted it: “This report shows how this [genocide] is precisely what China is doing with the Uighurs,” the notorious humanitarian interventionist stated.
The 1948 Genocide Convention, the UN’s first human rights treaty, defines genocide as attempted destruction of a group. This report shows how this is precisely what China is doing with the Uighurs.
The report’s authors have insisted that they are “impartial” and are “not advocating any course of action whatsoever.” But a closer look at the report and the institutions behind it reveals its authors’ claims of “independence” and “expertise” to be a blatant deception.
Indeed, the report’s principal author, Yonah Diamond, recently called on the Biden administration to unilaterally “confront,” and “punish” China for supposedly committing genocide, and expand sanctions against the country. Meanwhile, the think tanks behind the report have advocated fervently for the West to “combat” and sanction China, and have promoted US regime change policies targeting Syria, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia.
A majority of the report’s “expert” signatories are members of the Newlines Institute and the Wallenberg Centre. Others are members of the hawkish Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, former US State Department officials, and ardent supporters of US military interventionism. The report relies most substantially on the “expertise” of Adrian Zenz, the far-right evangelical ideologue, whose “scholarship” on China has been demonstrated to be deeply flawed, riddled with falsehoods and dishonest statistical manipulation.
The reliance on the voluminous but demonstrably fraudulent work of Zenz is not surprising, given that the report was financed by the Newlines Institute’s parent organization, the Fairfax University of America (FXUA). FXUA is a disgraced institution that state regulators moved to shut down in 2019 after finding that its “teachers weren’t qualified to teach their assigned courses”, academic quality was “patently deficient,” and plagiarism was “rampant” and ignored.
Just days before the Newlines Institute published its “expert” report accusing China of genocide, an advisory board to the US Department of Education recommended terminating recognition of FXUA’s accreditor, placing its license in jeopardy.
The Newlines report presents no new material on the condition of Uyghur Muslims in China. Instead, it claims to have reviewed all of “the available evidence” and applied “international law to the evidence of the facts on the ground.”
Rather than conducting a thorough and comprehensive review of “the available evidence,” the report restricted its survey to a narrow range of deeply flawed pseudo-scholarship along with reports by US government-backed lobbying fronts for the exiled Uyghur separatist movement. It was upon this faulty foundation that the report applies legal analysis related to the UN Genocide Convention.
Many of the remaining references cite the work of members of Newlines Institute’s “Uyghur Scholars Working Group”, of which Zenz is a founding member and which is made up of a small group of academics who collaborate with him and support his conclusions.
As The Grayzone has reported, Zenz is a far-right Christian fundamentalist who has said he is “led by God” against China’s government, deplores homosexuality and gender equality, and has taught exclusively in evangelical theological institutions. A careful review of Zenz’s research shows that his assertion of genocide is concocted through fraudulent statistical manipulation, cherry-picking of source material, and propagandistic misrepresentations. His widely-cited reports were not published in peer-reviewed journals overseen by academic institutions, but rather, by a DC-based CIA cut-out called the Jamestown Foundation and “The Journal of Political Risk,” a publication headed by former NATO and US national security state operatives.
Trump & Biden admins base their accusation of genocide against China on the bunk research of Christian extremist @adrianzenz
In order to shore up the report’s credibility, and to deflect from its essential reliance on Zenz’s reports, its authors have emphasized their supposed “independence” and “impartiality.”
“This [is] not an advocacy document, we’re not advocating any course of action whatsoever”, stated Azeem Ibrahim, Director of Special Initiatives at Newlines Institute. “There were no campaigners involved in this report, it was purely done by legal experts, area experts and China ethnic experts.”
However, just weeks before the publication of the report, its principal author, Yonah Diamond, penned a bellicose call for the Biden administration to eschew the UN (which Diamond deems to be “beholden to the Chinese government”) and unilaterally confront China. Following the Trump administration’s declaration that China was committing genocide in Xinjiang, Diamond argued that the US is legally obliged to “punish” China and that “the Biden administration must now take concrete action to that end together with U.S. allies”.
The report attempts to construct an appearance of broad expert consensus supporting its conclusions, including a list of 33 “independent expert” signatories. Unsurprisingly, this list consists of individuals pushing for a New Cold War and confrontation with China, and who support separatist efforts to transform the mineral-rich, geopolitically important region of Xinjiang into a NATO-oriented ethno-state:
Irwin Cotler and Helena Kennedy — co-chairs, along with Marco Rubio, of the hawkish Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC). Composed almost exclusively of white Western lawmakers, IPAC formed in 2020 in order to mount a “common defence” against the “rise of the People’s Republic of China.” Members of the World Uyghur Congress executive, Erkin Ekrem and Rahima Mahmut, sit on IPAC’s advisory board and secretariat; Adrian Zenz also sits on the advisory board.
David Scheffer, Beth von Schaack, and Gregory H. Stanton — Scheffer and Schaack are both former US State Department Ambassadors-at-Large, while Stanton is a former US State Department official.
Lloyd Axworthy and Allan Rock — the former Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs and former Canadian UN Ambassador, respectively.
Adrian Zenz –– founding member of Newlines Institute’s “Uyghur Scholars Working Group”
Rather than consult a wide range of authorities and academic experts, or subject its study to peer review, Newlines relied entirely on a narrowly focused community of like-minded ideologues. A majority of the signatories are members of the two think tanks behind the report, the Newlines Institute and the Wallenberg Centre. Far from “independent”, these organizations are deeply partisan, self-described “campaigners” that align closely with US and Western foreign policy goals, advocating for sanctions and intervention against China and other non-aligned nations across the Global South.
Newlines Institute: A collection of regime-change ideologues and “Shadow CIA” operatives
The supposedly independent report accusing China of genocide was published by the Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy based in Washington, DC and known formerly as the Center for Global Policy. Founded in 2019, the think tank’s stated aim is “to enhance US foreign policy” with a “specialization in Muslim states and societies.”
With extensive ties to the US regime-change establishment, the Newlines Institute is a reliable repository of anti-China material. For example, it has featured the ramblings of Robert Spalding, the former Senior Director for Strategy to President Trump and one of the architects of the Trump administration’s 2018 national security doctrine, which formally reoriented US foreign policy from a focus on the so-called “global war on terror” towards great power competition with China and Russia.
The leadership of Newlines Institute includes former US State Department officials, US military advisors, intelligence professionals who previously worked for the “shadow CIA” private spying firm, Stratfor, and a collection of interventionist ideologues. Its contributors represent a who’s who of Syria regime changers who cheerleaded for US military interventionism while intimidating and bullying any prominent figure that dared present a critical perspective on the proxy war.
Hassan Hassan, Director; Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Newlines Magazine — Ardent supporter of US imperialism, including wars on Iraq, Libya, Yemen and especially Syria. Along with Newlines contributor Michael Weiss, Hassan called for the US military to balkanize Syria, permanently occupy its oil-rich Jazira region and turn the country into “an American security protectorate.”
Azeem Ibrahim, Director — Adjunct Research Professor at the Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College. Ibrahim is a co-author of the Newlines report.
Kamran Bokhari, Director — Previously served as the Central Asia Studies Course Coordinator at US Department of State’s Foreign Service Institute

Muhammad Idrees Ahmad,Senior Editor – In 2016, Ahmad phoned Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal unsolicited before Blumenthal published a two-part investigative exposé on the Syrian White Helmets, threatening him with severe consequences if he went ahead. (Listen to a recording of Ahmad’s threatening call here). A lecturer on digital journalism at Stirling University in the UK, Ahmad recently attackedDemocracy Now! for hosting scholar Vijay Prashad for a discussion on the danger of a new Cold War with China.
Rasha Al Aqeedi, Senior Analyst — Iraq-born pundit who formerly worked as a research fellow at the neoconservative Foreign Policy Research Institute (FPRI), a neoconservative think tank originally founded by white supremacists and Cold War hardliners that has honored Iraq war advocates John Bolton and James Mattis. Like her colleague Ahmad, Aqeedi dedicates a significant portion of her time to smearing anti-war figures on social media.
Elizabeth Tsurkov, Non-Resident Fellow — Previously worked for a number of neoconservative and establishment think tanks, including the Atlantic Council, Foreign Policy Research Institute and Freedom House. Tsurkov served in the Israeli military, during Israel’s 2006 war on Lebanon. Throughout the Syrian proxy war, Tsurkov maintained friendly contacts with members of the Saudi-backed jihadist militia, Jaish al-Islam, and boasted about links both she and Israel’s military-intelligence apparatus maintained with Syria’s armed opposition.
Nicholas A. Heras, Senior Analyst — Previously a research associate at the US Department of Defense’s National Defense University, Heras is also a fellow at the arms industry-funded Center for New American Security. There, he proposed using “wheat [as] a weapon of great power…to apply pressure on the Assad regime.” In other words, Heras advocated for the mass starvation of Syrian civilians by occupying their wheat fields, a US policy that is currently underway in the country’s northeastern region.
Caroline Rose, Senior Analyst — Previously served as an analyst at Geopolitical Futures, headed by Stratfor founder, George Friedman. Stratfor is a private spying and intelligence firm commonly referred to as a “Shadow CIA.” It has contracted extensively with the US government, and has trained the radical wing of Venezuela’s opposition and advised them on destabilization tactics.
Robin Blackburn, Managing Editor — For 12 years, Blackburn served as a writer and editor with Stratfor.
Robert Inks, Editor — Previously served as Director of the Writers Group and Special Projects Editor at Stratfor.
Daryl Johnson, Non-Resident Fellow — Served in the US Army and previously worked as a senior analyst at the Department of Homeland Security. He is the founder of DT Analytics, a private consulting firm for police and law enforcement.
Eugene Chausovsky, Non-Resident Fellow — Lectures on the “geopolitics of Central Asia” at the US State Department’s Foreign Service Institute. Previously worked as Senior Eurasia Analyst at Strat for for over a decade.
Imtiaz Ali, Non-Resident Fellow — Previously worked as a curriculum specialist at the US State Department’s Foreign Service Institute.
Ahmed Alwani is the founder and president of the Newlines Institute. Alwani previously served on the advisory board for the U.S. military’s Africa Command (AFRICOM) and is the Vice President of the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT); his father, Taha Jabir Al-Alwani was one of IIIT’s founders.
Newlines Institute recently took steps to counter rumors of IIIT’s connections to the Muslim Brotherhood. In an internal email obtained by The Grayzone, dated November 17, 2020, Newlines Director Hassan Hassan addressed the “accusation” against the then-Center for Global Policy. Hassan wrote that while a different “older entity” was funded by IIIT, “[t]he current one has no relation to IIIT.” Hassan attempted to assuage concerns by downplaying Alwani’s connection to IIIT, claiming that Alwani “inherited the International Institute for Islamic Thought as Vice President as a sort of legacy”, following his father’s death in 2018.
Newlines Institute overseen by disgraced sham “university”
Newlines Institute is a branch of a disgraced educational institution that has repeatedly violated state educational standards, raising further questions about the quality of the think tank’s work.
Newlines Institute’s parent institution is Fairfax University of America (FXUA), a school also founded and led by Alwani, and formerly known as Virginia International University. FXUA is a private university in Fairfax, Virginia. Founded in 1998, FXUA’s short track record has been riddled with numerous academic scandals and efforts by state regulators to shut the institution down.
In 2019, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia initiated proceedings to revoke FXUA’s (then known as Virginia International University) certificate to operate. The move came after state regulators found widespread noncompliance with state educational standards.
According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, auditors determined that “teachers weren’t qualified to teach their assigned courses”, the academic quality and content of classes were “patently deficient”, and student work was characterized by “rampant plagiarism” that went unpunished.
“Unqualified students regularly submit plagiarized or inferior work; faculty turn a blind eye and lower grading standards (perhaps to avoid failing an entire class); and administrators do not effectively monitor the quality of online education being provided”, the audit said.
“That such substandard coursework could continue with no complaints from students, faculty or administrators raises concerns about the purpose of education at VIU [Virginia International University].”
A review of Fairfax University/VIU by an anonymous employee
Indeed, signs point to FXUA/VIU serving as a “visa mill” rather than a legitimate educational institution. As Inside Higher Ed explains, the term “visa mill” refers to a sham operation where an institution “offers little by way of educational value,” but instead lures international students through its ability to offer access to student and work visas, while exploiting them by charging exorbitant tuition costs. FXUA/VIU’s accreditor, the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges and Schools (ACICS), has long faced accusations of certifying such institutions.
In 2019, Inside Higher Ed reported that FXUA/VIU’s “appears to exist primarily to enroll international students,” finding that over the previous five years, “the percentage of students from North America varied between 1 and 3 percent”. Auditors found that the the student body was largely comprised of international students with an “abysmally poor command” of the English language. The students were charged $2,178 per graduate class and $1,266 per undergraduate class to receive their “patently deficient” education.
Although Virginia International University reached an agreement with state regulators that allowed it to continue operating and has rebranded itself as Fairfax University of America, significant concerns remain about the university, along with its subsidiary Newlines Institute.
Just days before Newlines Institute’s report on China was released, its FXUA’s accreditation was once again in potential jeopardy. On March 5, an advisory board to the US Department of Education recommended terminating recognition for ACICS. The National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity voted 11-to-1 to recommend that ACICS lose the federal recognition it needs to operate.
The advisory committee made the same recommendation in 2016, leading to the ACICS’s recognition being revoked under the Obama administration, before recognition was restored to the troubled accreditor in 2018 by then-President Trump’s Secretary of Education, the infamous privatization activist and oligarch Betsy Devos.
The Wallenberg Centre: A haven for anti-China hawks and regime-change lobbyists
Newlines Institute published its report in collaboration with The Raoul Wallenberg Centre for Human Rights. The report’s principal author, Yonah Diamond, is legal counsel for The Wallenberg Center, and many of the report’s signatories hold affiliations with the organization.
Based in Montreal, The Wallenberg Centre was founded by Irwin Cotler, former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada. While often touted as a “human rights champion”, Cotler is, in fact, a champion of the “responsibility to protect” and “humanitarian intervention” doctrines, regularly invoked by Western states in order to justify imperial interventions in the global south.
When the OAS brought Irwin Cotler to town to advance its fraudulent human rights campaign against Venezuela, I confronted him on his hypocritical defense of apartheid Israel’s inalienable right to gun down protesters in Gaza & bombard their refugee camps https://t.co/WX5ffMEf9b
Cotler has long harbored hostile sentiments towards China. For a number of years, Cotler served on the international legal team for Chinese anti-government dissident Liu Xiaobo, a right-wing ideologue who called for the privatization and “Westernisation” of China, ardently supported former President George W. Bush, and cheered on US wars on Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq.
More recently, during the coronavirus pandemic, Cotler echoed calls of right-wing US lawmakers for international legal action and sanctions to punish China for supposedly causing the coronavirus pandemic.
In its mission statement, the Wallenberg Centre outlines its right-wing, Western imperial outlook in detail, explicitly identifying China, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia as countries that it is pushing to “combat” with sanctions.
The Wallenberg Centre has become a haven for anti-China hawks, including Senior Fellows David Kilgour, former Canadian Secretary of State, and David Matas, senior legal counsel for B’nai Brith Canada, a right-wing organization that describes itself as dedicated to “Israel advocacy”.
Kilgour and Matas have extensive ties to the far-right, anti-China religious cult Falun Gong. Both men are regularly contributors to the group’s propaganda arm, The Epoch Times, a media network that The New York Times has described as an “anti-China, pro-Trump media empire” and “leading purveyor of right-wing misinformation”. In 2019, an NBC News exposé found that The Epoch Times spent over $1.5 million on approximately 11,000 pro-Trump advertisements in just six months, “more than any organization outside of the Trump campaign itself, and more than most Democratic presidential candidates have spent on their own campaigns.”
In 2006, Kilgour and Matas were commissioned by Falun Gong to author a report which made sensational accusations that the Chinese government was secretly conducting a mass campaign of live organ harvesting Falun Gong disciples. In 2017, an investigation by The Washington Post determined that the claims made by Kilgour and Matas were unfounded, with experts commenting that their allegations were “not plausible” and “unthinkable.”
As Washington advances its new Cold War strategy, it has amplified accusations of genocide and other atrocities against the Chinese government, all focused on Beijing’s policy in Xinjiang. To broaden support for the dubious narrative, the US government has turned to a series of pseudo-academic institutions and faux experts to generate seemingly serious and independent studies.
Any critical probe of the reams of reports on Xinjiang and the hawkish institutions that publish them will quickly reveal a shabby propaganda campaign dressed up as academic inquiry. Western media’s refusal to look beneath the surface of Washington’s information war against China only highlights its central role in the operation.

I. AMERICA
As an American, I want to tell you there are many good things in America although they are dwindling already. There was American dream, it is dead now. I used to earn the minimum wage of $1.25 an hour and worked long and hard my way through college. I worked so hard to earn B.A. and Master’s degree from a top American university without owing one penny to anyone. After obtaining my Master’s degree, the university asked me to go on for Ph.D. and I didn’t have to do anything, they would take care of everything. I declined because I had been poor and tired for so many years.
Writing what is wrong with America is a great risk and telling the truth is in real danger of being targeted as anti-America, unpatriotic, communist, and other dirty names. America is doomed if the great silent majority of Americans do not stand up and speak up and act now.
To make the military-industrial-security complex very rich and live in luxuries, the U.S. national debts has exceeded $28 trillion dollars.
“Pentagon Audit Shows $21 Trillion Unaccounted For, as Trump Attacks Sanders on “Socialism”
Ralph Lopez majored in Economics and Political Science at Yale University. He is an advocate of “impact journalism.”
While Donald Trump in his State of the Union address took a thinly-veiled swipe at Bernie Sanders when he declared that America would never, ever, fall victim to “socialism,” analysts were aghast at a recent General Accounting Office report that the Pentagon was forced to make up to $35 trillion in “accounting adjustments,” more than the entire size of the US economy, in 2019.
Socialism is just not the American way, declared Trump. Sanders is now leading the pack by 14% in the upcoming, all-important California primary, 22% ahead of Mayor Pete Buttigieg.
Media describing the report, such as Bloomberg News, carefully stressed that most of this amounted to double, triple, and even quadruple-counting billions from one account to another. “The same money as it got moved between accounts,” according to Todd Harrison, a Pentagon budget expert with the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
This double-counting gives the impression, in the Bloomberg piece, that it pretty much all balanced out, with not much missing. Pentagon spokesman Christopher Sherwood explained “how the dollar figures multiply”:
“Sherwood said recognizing $800 million due a contractor in previously unrecorded payments ‘requires multiple accounting adjustments that net to $0 but could total over $5 billion’ in movement between accounts.”
But, and here is the big fat “but,” buried in the 13th paragraph of the Bloomberg piece. Sherwood says:
“What’s most important to an auditor is whether the adjustments ‘are properly supported’ because ‘properly supported adjustments ensure financial statement values are accurate. We have made significant progress in reducing the number and dollar value of unsupported adjustments by over 30% and 70%, respectively.'”
If you are sitting in an audit with the hated taxman, poring over your returns for your say $80,000 a year job, “properly supported” means you need, for example, to come up with a receipt from the Boston Marriott if you want to write it off as a business expense.
“Properly supported” means, in short, you can prove where the money went. Otherwise it could have gone anywhere. To another bank account. To the Playboy Club. To your brother. If you can’t show that the item is properly supported, you can’t take the deduction.
What Happened to the Trillions Unaccounted For?
Make sure you hear me now. 70% of $35 trillion is, let’s see, about $25 trillion that has been “properly supported,” give or take. Fine and dandy. Good job.
Oh wait. That still leaves $10 trillion that is not properly supported. And $20 trillion the year before that, according to the report. The entire defense budget is shy of $800 billion a year. 10 trillion? The American taxpayer could be getting robbed blind and never know it.
Loans could even be taken out on Pentagon credit cards and papered over, with $10 trillion or $20 trillion in unsupported adjustments for the papering. That’s room for a lot of “creative accounting,” a term that came into fashion during the Enron Scandal.
To put it in the simplest terms possible, an “unsupported” adjustment means no one knows where the money went. If you can’t support an adjustment, you don’t make it.
The main spin in the Bloomberg piece is that it’s all just kind of a crazy, big mess, “sloppy accounting,” as could be expected from the Pentagon because it is so big. Right. Crazy like a fox.
One thing we do know. The rich have been accumulating an ever-increasing share of the overall pie over the last 40 years, while the middle class has been losing it. Just like Bernie has been saying ad nauseam. The wealthiest one percent of the population has gone from holding less than a quarter of all U.S. assets in 1980, to more than a third of those assets now. In the same time period, ninety percent of the population has gone from holding a third of the assets, to less than a quarter.
We know the rich have been getting richer, in terms of asset ownership, for reasons we don’t fully understand. There’s a huge party going on, and you’re not invited.
Who Benefits From This Situation?
It is the politically connected who would be on the receiving side of any “unsupported adjustments.” And if you want to be a billionaire in America, you are probably politically connected.
The GAO report does not say if any of those receipts—”support”—ever came through.
So here comes old Bernie railing not so much that we need socialism, but that it shouldn’t only be for the well-connected rich, what Occupy Wall Street called “crony capitalism.” The dirty little secret is there is already plenty of socialism in America. But it only gets attention when it’s for you.
No congressman ever warns about “socialism” when it’s for oil company shareholders through the Oil Depletion Allowance, for Berkshire Hathaway, or for bank bailouts which, contrary to popular belief, never got paid back.
To his credit, Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffet has consistently said he does not need any more favors from the government, even though he kept the $29 billion windfall he received in 2017 as a result of the tax bill Congress passed. Saying: “I sure don’t think it’s good for a society where there’s a ton of inequality to start with.”
When the world’s third-richest man is more worried about the growing social divide in this country than about his own net worth, the rest of us should sit up and listen. But all that may be dwarfed by a huge party at the Pentagon, members only.
American leaders and politicians, the military-industrial-security complex are benefited by the American current situation and wars.
Public corruption
Public corruption, the FBI’s top criminal investigative priority, poses a fundamental threat to our national security and way of life. It can affect everything from how well our borders are secured and our neighborhoods protected to how verdicts are handed down in courts to how public infrastructure such as roads and schools are built. It also takes a significant toll on the public’s pocketbooks by siphoning off tax dollars—it is estimated that public corruption costs the U.S. government and the public billions of dollars each year. The FBI is uniquely situated to combat corruption, with the skills and capabilities to run complex undercover operations and surveillance.
Overview
The Bureau’s Public Corruption program focuses on:
· Investigating violations of federal law by public officials at the federal, state, and local levels of government;
· Overseeing the nationwide investigation of allegations of fraud related to federal government procurement, contracts, and federally funded programs;
· Combating the threat of public corruption along the nation’s borders and points of entry in order to decrease the country’s vulnerability to drug and weapons trafficking, alien smuggling, espionage, and terrorism.
· Addressing environmental crime, election fraud, and matters concerning the federal government procurement, contracts, and federally funded programs.
In 2008, the FBI created the International Corruption Unit (ICU) to oversee the increasing number of investigations involving global fraud against the U.S. government and the corruption of federal public officials outside of the continental U.S. involving U.S. funds, persons, businesses, etc. The ICU’s tasks include:
· Overseeing the Bureau’s Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and antitrust cases;
· Maintaining operational oversight of several International Contract Corruption Task Forces, which investigate and prosecute individuals and firms engaged in bribery, illegal gratuities, contract extortion, bid rigging, collusion, conflicts of interest, product substitution, items and/or services invoiced without delivery, theft, diversion of goods, and individual and corporate conspiracies on every level of U.S. government operations.
No other law enforcement agency has attained the kind of success the FBI has achieved in combating corruption. This success is due largely to the cooperation and coordination from a number of federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to combat public corruption. These partnerships include, but are not limited to the Department of Justice, Agency Offices of Inspector General; law enforcement agencies’ internal affairs divisions; federal, state and local law enforcement and regulatory investigative agencies; and state and county prosecutor’s offices.”
Types of Corruption
Prison Corruption
The FBI’s prison corruption initiative, which began in June 2014, addresses contraband smuggling by local, state, and federal prison officials in exchange for bribe payments. Through this initiative, the Bureau works to develop and strengthen collaborative relationships with state/local corrections departments and the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Inspector General to help identify prison facilities plagued with systemic corruption and employ appropriate criminal investigative techniques to combat the threat. Prison officials and staff being co-opted, even if unwittingly, betrays the public trust, threatens the integrity of the justice system in the U.S., and threaten national security interests overall.
Schemes to corrupt prison officials come in a variety of forms, including:
· Testing: An offer of simple items, like prison commissary goods, is made to prison officials. If accepted, the inmate confirms the official’s administrative misstep, then urges the official to smuggle contraband under threat of reporting the official’s misconduct.
· Active recruiting: Civilian gang members with no prior criminal history are recruited by incarcerated gang members to apply to become correctional officers, with promises of additional income paid by the inmates’ criminal enterprise.
· Empathy: Prison inmates study corrections personnel working in the facility and determine whether particular staff members are susceptible to exploitation. This ploy typically results in improper interpersonal relationships and the corrupted official’s integrity being compromised to the benefit of the inmate.
Border Corruption
The federal government is responsible for protecting approximately 7,000 miles along the U.S. border and 95,000 miles of U.S. shoreline, and every day, over a million people visit the U.S. and enter through one of the more than 300 official ports of entry into the U.S., as well as through seaports and international airports. The FBI recognizes the very real threat public corruption at our nation’s borders and all other ports of entry pose.
Common acts of border corruption involve drug trafficking and alien smuggling. Throughout the U.S., the FBI has investigated corrupt government and law enforcement officials who accept bribes and gratuities in return for allowing loads of drugs or aliens to pass through ports of entry or checkpoints; protecting and escorting loads of contraband; overlooking contraband; providing needed documents, such as immigration papers and driver’s licenses; leaking sensitive law enforcement information; and conducting unauthorized records checks.
Border corruption potentially impacts national security as well—corrupt officers might believe they are accepting a bribe simply in return for allowing a carload of illegal aliens to enter the U.S., when they might actually be facilitating the entry of a group of terrorists. Or a corrupt official who expedites immigration paperwork or helps obtain an identification document in return for a bribe or gratuity might actually be facilitating an operation of a terrorist cell, foreign counterintelligence network, or criminal enterprise.
Oftentimes the Bureau brings its expertise to bear on joint investigations with its partners in federal, state, and local law enforcement. Many of these investigations involve FBI border corruption task forces and working groups located in nearly two dozen cities along our borders. Members of these task forces and working groups stand shoulder to shoulder to combat corrupt officials, both operationally and through the sharing of intelligence and information, along with the use of trend analysis, lessons learned, and best practices.
Federally, the FBI coordinates investigative efforts along the borders with the Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General; Customs and Border Protection Internal Affairs; Transportation Security Administration; Drug Enforcement Administration; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement-Office of Professional Responsibility.”
International Corruption
The FBI’s International Corruption Unit (ICU) is the leading investigative entity in combating foreign corruption. ICU manages five programs:
· International Corruption of Federal Public Officials
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act
ICU has management responsibility and program oversight for FBI investigations under the FCPA. The 1977 legislation has two main provisions. The first deals with bribery of foreign officials, and the second deals with accounting transparency requirements under the Securities Exchange Act. The dual elements were designed to facilitate parallel criminal and civil enforcement to stem corruption and promote fair business practices worldwide. The anti-bribery provision makes it illegal for U.S. companies and certain foreign companies to bribe foreign officials to obtain or retain business. The bribes can be in the form of money or any other items of value. The accounting provision of the FCPA focuses on the Securities Exchange Act requirements applying to all foreign companies whose securities are listed on the U.S. stock exchanges and U.S. companies.
The United States cannot charge the foreign official under the FCPA; rather, the United States works together with international law enforcement partners to investigate U.S. subjects who are complicit in paying bribes to foreign officials. The supply and demand equation of bribe paying and receiving illustrates the FCPA and kleptocracy violations as two sides of the same coin. For more information, see this detailed FCPA Resource Guide.
Kleptocracy
Kleptocracy, literally meaning “the rule by thieves,” is a form of political corruption in which the ruling government seeks personal gain and status at the expense of the governed. Through graft and embezzlement of state funds, corrupt leaders amass tremendous wealth at the expense of the broader populace. Some of the most egregious examples have occurred in countries with very high rates of poverty. The inherent challenge for corrupt leaders is covertly expatriating and holding money in secure locations where it can be accessed in the future. Generally, that requires international movement of funds. When transfers occur in U.S. dollars or transit the U.S. banking system, federal money laundering jurisdiction is established. The FBI initiates money laundering investigations to trace the international movement of assets and, in conjunction with foreign partners, forfeit and repatriate assets back to legitimate authorities in victim countries.
Antitrust
ICU has program management responsibility for the FBI’s antitrust investigations, both domestic and international, which target conspiracies among competitors to fix prices, rig bids, or allocate markets or customers. These conspiracies deprive U.S. consumers of true competition, an economic bedrock of our free and democratic society. Perpetrators often operate in multinational companies that bask in illegal profits at the expense of U.S. consumers. Stolen by cartels, the ill-gotten gains and competitive advantages reduce supply, eliminate incentives to compete by offering better and more innovative products and services, and destabilize economic markets.
International Contract Corruption
ICU has program management responsibility over cases involving international fraud against the government and international corruption of federal public officials. The FBI was a co-founder of the International Contract Corruption Task Force, which was created in 2006 with the goal of addressing contract fraud concerns. These concerns stemmed from overseas U.S. government spending during the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. These cases typically involve bribery, gratuities, contract extortion, bid rigging, collusion, conflicts of interest, product substitution, items/services invoiced without delivery, diversion of goods, and corporate and individual conspiracies at various levels of U.S. government operations.
ICU’s program extends beyond the war effort to include worldwide contingency operations involving U.S. military actions, foreign aid and development, and humanitarian aid in any international region. Spending on these programs is highly susceptible to corruption and fraud by those wishing to take advantage of the chaotic circumstances surrounding these benevolent endeavors. Misuse of U.S. funds overseas poses a threat to the United States and other countries by promoting corruption within the host nation, damaging diplomatic relations, inadvertently supporting insurgent activity, and potentially strengthening criminal and terrorist organizations.
International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre
The FBI works with multiple law enforcement partners from around the world as part of the International Anti-Corruption Coordination Centre (IACCC). Established in 2017, the IACCC is a coordinated and collaborative effort to provide information, assistance and other support to agencies investigating public corruption offenses.”
ICU Initiatives
ICU oversees two large initiatives: the program management of four international corruption squads dedicated to investigating FCPA, kleptocracy, and antitrust cases and the development of a robust private sector outreach program.
International Corruption Squads
The international corruption squads (ICS), based in Los Angeles, Miami, New York City, and Washington, D.C., were created to address the national impact of foreign bribery, kleptocracy, and antitrust schemes. These schemes negatively affect U.S. financial markets and economic growth when inadequately addressed. They are unique in nature in that they are international matters with the overt criminal acts typically occurring outside U.S. borders. Without these dedicated resources, it was difficult for FBI divisions to investigate international matters that did not directly affect their area of responsibility as clearly as other violations; therefore, the FBI created four international corruption squads to enable a focus on international corruption matters without draining resources from the field.
The ICS are a vital resource to combat international cartels and corruption. The violations addressed by the ICS are equally recognized by both DOJ and the FBI as risks to U.S. national interests. These squads not only lend additional resources to a global threat, but they also allow the FBI to attack the matters and use sophisticated investigative techniques that have long been successfully utilized by the FBI to address complex criminal matters.
Private Sector Outreach
In an effort to combat international corruption and cartels, the FBI’s ICU created a proactive strategy that places an emphasis on strengthening existing relationships and forging new partnerships in the private sector. This is not new to the FBI. We have leveraged relationships throughout our 100+ years of investigations—from fighting organized crime to combating terrorism. Nonetheless, we believe by fostering these vital relationships, the FBI will be able to effectively fight international corruption to ensure a fair and competitive global market environment for companies resulting in a strong U.S. economy. ”
“War Crimes
Top Ten American War Criminals Living Freely Today Rense Exclusive
By Douglas Herman 12-14-5
“A war crime is a punishable offense, under international law, for violations of the law of war by any person or persons, military or civilian. Every violation of the law of war is a war crime. Also, war crimes are those committed during wartime in violation of international conventions intended to protect civilian populations and prisoners of war. You will note that many on this list, categorized as war criminals, ironically, are among the most powerful and wealthy US citizens1. Robert McNamara. Former US Secretary of Defense, helped kill approximately 2-3 million, mostly poor Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians. Not to mention a sizeable portion of the 58,000 dead US servicemen pressed into that war. Not to mention that equal number of US veterans who committed suicide in the years to follow. McNamara is an Elder Statesman now, walking around freely today.2. Henry Kissinger. Former US Secretary of State, had a hand in the killings mentioned above. Plus condoned thousands of additional killings in Chile, under the sponsorship of US foreign policy. Won a Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts. Elder Statesman, walking around freely today. Died in 2023.3. Bill Clinton. Former, disgraced US President. Initiated bombing raids against Yugoslavia and Iraq, neither country able to defend itself, resulting in the deaths of thousands. Conducted punitive sanctions against Iraq, resulting in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. Presided during Waco Massacre and Oklahoma City Bombing, thinly-disguised war crimes against US citizens.. Elder Statesman, walking around freely today, amply rewarded for book deals and speaking engagements.4. George HW Bush. Former super spy, former US President, the first to graduate from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) into the presidency and bring lessons learned at CIA headquarters directly into US policy. While serving under Ronald Reagan, helped encourage the Iraq-Iran war, resulting in deaths of one million people, allowing US oil and arms dealers to profit greatly. During the ‘Eighties, helped encourage US sponsored military dictators in Latin America, guilty of extermination of thousands of ordinary citizens, via US-trained “death squads.” Conducted pre-emptive war with Panama, resulting in 1,000-4,000 deaths, simply to topple former CIA henchman and drug lord, Manuel Noriega. Elder Statesman, walking around freely today, basking in limelight.5. Madeline Albright. Former US Secretary of State under Clinton. Condoned the punitive sanctions against Iraq that resulted in an estimated 500,000 deaths of children. Remarked that such sanctions were “worth it.” Elder Stateswoman, walking around freely today.6. George W. Bush. Two term US president, elected using electronic, “black box” voting methods that permit no verification of actual vote count. Conducted two pre-emptive wars, resulting in excess of 100,000 US. Iraqi and Afghani deaths. Condones the use of torture as US policy. Condones rejection of the Geneva Convention, becoming the first US president to openly do so. Considers the US Constitution “A Goddamned piece of paper.” Embattled Statesman, walking around freely today7. Dick Cheney. Former US Secretary of Defense, and signator of the PNAC, and current Vice President. Accused mastermind of the 911 “terrorist” attack against the US (unproven), Cheney has been called “The Vice President For Torture” by the Washington Post. A staunch supporter of the Middle Eastern War Without End, Cheney, like Wolfowitz and Rumsfeld bears particular responsibility for the conduct of the war. Elder Statesman, walking around freely today.8. Paul Wolfowitz. Former US Deputy Secretary of Defense and architect of the Middle Eastern War Without End. Casualties in two pre-emptive wars now exceed 100,000 deaths, not including the estimated 2,000+ US deaths and 15,000 wounded.

US Secretary of Defense during the Middle Eastern War Without End. A signator of the PNAC document that calls for pre-emptive hostile acts of US imperialism conducted by overwhelming military means (War) against weaker nations possessing scarce resources. Aside from the estimated 100,000 Iraqi deaths, the estimated 15-20,000 US casualties (dead and injured), and the untold tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands (millions?) who will suffer from the effects of depleted uranium in the years to come, Rumsfeld remains convinced the “war on terror” is just. A long time political appointee, Rumsfeld is an Elder Statesman, walking around freely today.10. Ruppert Murdoch. Token American. Media baron. Never met a war he didn’t like. Responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and untold millions of refugees through media encouragement of harsh, US foreign policy. Owns a sizable chunk of the US news media.

Elder Statesman and multi-billionaire news baron, walking around freely today.Former USAF veteran (Honorably Discharged) and Elder Statesman, Douglas Herman writes regularly for Rense and is the author of The Guns of Dallas”
As God is my witness, American democracy is a farce and fiasco. The US Constitution does not stipulate that the sovereignty of America is vested in the hands of American citizens. The American leaders and politicians do not want to vest sovereignty in American citizens, that way they will lose all power and authority. They are also afraid of a national referendum as a vehicle to express the majority rule.
The recent uncertainty and chaos of the presidential election, the Capitol riots, the divisiveness between federal government and state governments, the hostilities between the two political parties and the paralysis of the Congress, the demonstrations and protests against government injustice all over the country, the fear and unrest among Americans, etc. all point to the failure of American democracy. Since the end of World War II, the whole world knows leaders of which country have been liars, killers, and robbers.
In America, an American is free to be shot dead, to be raped, to be robbed, to be assaulted or mugged, to be falsely accused or charged, to be defrauded and overcharged by healthcare system, to be overtly and covertly discriminated, to be unemployed, to be homeless, to be abused by police brutality, to be mistreated, to be terrorized, etc. the government cannot and does not protect you. No one protects you. The sole superpower with all its huge high quality and quantity of nuclear weapons cannot and does not protect its citizens.
Since the change of the Soviet Union into Russia, Russia has been a decent and respectable Republic. President Putin has the highest approval rate of his people the Russians than any leader in the world. President Putin is no killer, but a great leader of world peace. Russia is not a problem. American imperialism and its allies, the resurgent Japanese militarism and Islamic terrorism are the problems of the world. Russia is no threat, China is no threat to the West or the world. The American empire and its allies are illegally and unlawfully sanctioning Russia and China. Gullible Americans have believed that American wars and killing innocent millions are justified to preserve peace and freedom. In fact, American empires, EU, UK and their allies have been waging unjust wars and bloody killing in order to continue American and European dictatorship and domination of the world. Americans and its allies are waging ideological and hegemonic wars since the end of World War II to maintain and preserve its power and privilege and preeminence in the world, contrary to democracy, freedom, and justice. The handwriting is on the wall about American, European and Japanese war crimes and atrocities.
I do not have vested or special interest, I am telling you the truth in Christ. The American form or model of democracy does not work for Americans, and cannot work anywhere in the world. I hold the opinion that the U.S. President, the U.S. Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court do not serve the American national interest. The two American parties, the Democratic and the Republican also do not serve the American interests. The two political parties are held hostages by special interests. You can find the clear evidence and many indisputable proofs. You say you cannot see them. Well, I have no power to open the eyes of the blind. Only God can do that.
1. The chaos and fiasco of the last presidential election.
2. The Riots of the Capitol Building by so-called patriotic Americans.
3. The fear and unrest of American people.
4. The Federal and State governments do not have unity.
5. No one or entity is responsible or accountable for anything happening in America.
“CMS: US health care spending will reach $4T in 2020”
No one believes CMS is working for the interest of American patients.
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
If included the private insurance, it is estimated the total health care costs in America in 2020 already exceeds $8 trillion. American hospitals and doctors are very smart about manufacturing health care costs for each patient, if you look at and examine the unintelligible pages and pages of hospital and medical bills, you may have a glimpse of them.
The coin of justice has two sides, the face justice and the tail injustice. America has failed on both counts. Police brutality is only one facet of injustice, it has been practiced a long time in America. The recent incident of a white police in public and on TV killed a black suspect does not speak well of American justice before the world at large. The fact that the wrong doing of a white police for killing a black suspect penalized the residents of Minnesota for$27 millionis another facet of injustice of the American legal system. You have to ask the question what was the black arrested for? What was his occupation? Did he have criminal record? How much he was making or earning a month? Not anybody’s life is worth $27 million. The residents of Minnesota are not responsible for the crime of any police or official. The residents of Minnesota do not have to pay for the crime of any police or official. Every person is responsible for his/her crime. If a police is guilty of a murder, he is responsible and liable to pay for his crime, not the residents of any city or state. It is a great injustice to make the residents of Minneapolis or Minnesota to pay penalty or damages for the crime of a police white or black. There is something seriously wrong about the criminal justice system in America. The American jury system is a travesty of justice; it should be replaced by 3 independent judges who know the law and the facts of life in America.
The three independent judges criminal trial proceeding
eliminates the issue of bias within the justice system on ground the judges are knowledgeable of the law and the facts of life in America. I served on jury before, it was a pain and burden because I had a paid profession and had job responsibility. Jury system disturbed citizen’s normal life and that is a wrong way to perform civic duty. The impartiality of the three independent judges is guaranteed because the verdict is disclosed and a partial judge can be impeached. Besides the verdict of the three independent judges may be reviewed by a higher court. False convictions are unlikely because the majority decision is required. A juror does not need to reason his decision and there is no penalty for his wrong decision, but judges are. A jury system wastes a lot time because ignorance of the law and the idiosyncrasy of each juror. Jury trials create financial hardships for the people who serve; while judges are paid to do their job.
For instance, awoman throws her drink at her boyfriend.Then, slips on the ice and wins a $113,500 judgment against the restaurant.
A woman who purchased a new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home, having driven on to the freeway, she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the driver’s seat to go to the back of the Winnebago to make herself a sandwich. The motor home left the freeway, crashed and overturned. The jury awarded her, $1,750,000 PLUS a new motor home.
“A Texas state court was the jurisdiction offering a recent textbook example that demands reversal.
In March of last year, a jury in San Antonio inexplicably awarded a $706 million decision in favor of tech startup HouseCanary, Inc., and against Amrock, Inc., a title insurance and real estate valuation provider.
Here’s the backstory. The verdict actually stems from a fairly unexceptional 2016 lawsuit by Amrock (which back then went by the name Title Source, Inc.) against House Canary for breach of contract. In a nutshell, the two parties had entered into a contractual arrangement whereby Amrock would utilize House Canary’s real estate data, appraisal software and automated valuation models. House Canary is one among several companies that attempt to automate the home appraisal process, which traditionally relied upon manual accumulation and home inspections. Amrock sued for $5 million, alleging that the product provided by House Canary was so incomplete as to be unworkable.
House Canary countersued, alleging that Amrock improperly used House Canary’s technology to create its own automated valuation model and downloaded House Canary’s home valuation reports in order to reverse-engineer its own product.
That’s where things went haywire, in the form of the jury’s incomprehensible award in favor of House Canary.
Specifically, the jury awarded $706 million to House Canary, which included $471 million in punitive damages and $235 million for trade secret misappropriation. ”
“May 27, 2020 · A Black man who yelled “I cannot breathe” as a white Minneapolis police officer pinned him down with his knee in the US state ofMinnesotadied late on Monday, police confirmed, drawing outrage…
No life matters $27million if you correctly count a man’s earning power over a life time. Besides, the Black man was not a hero, he was only a victim and a suspect which no information was disclosed. When a white Minneapolis police officer asphyxiated him with his knees on TV in public, the police chief did not order to stop it. The mayor did not give an order to stop it. The governor did not give an order to stop it. This is a blatant and outrageous jury award which was not connected to justice and reality. This is a great injustice to the residents of Minneapolis, the council members should take money out of their own pockets and salaries. When a police official or any official commits a crime, he/she is solely responsible. The city cannot be responsible for the crime of an officer or official. The officer or official is liable and accountable for his/her crime, the city or the state is not. That is the most outrageous case of injustice. It is a giant step and trend toward injustice. That is the major reason to abolish the jury trial.
For the same reason Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional. When a single racial group is awarded or granted special treatment or favor under the law, all other groups suffer injustice consequently.
By telling all the truths about America, not intended to offend anyone, but intended to save America. Millions of Americans have been doped and hypnotized and fooled, and not realizing one bit that America needs to be saved now. In fact, no one except God can save America. I only proclaim the truth pointing out the major American problems one by one, hoping the American leaders and politicians, and the silent majority may wake up, rise up, and do something.
There is actual racial discrimination in America as attested by my own and others’ experiences. Because I am endowed with abilities and qualifications, with high intelligence, pleasant personality and correct values, I was lucky to suffer only employment and promotion discrimination. I never encountered police brutality; when police listened to my communication, they never abused me. I never encountered shopping discrimination, big department stores treated me with great respect. I never had problem in renting apartments. I did not encounter social problems because I chose my own friends. In fact I turned down many offerings of friendship from White people just as I also turned own the Chinese people. However, at a junior college my future was threatened by Black students riot.President Richard Nixon came to my help and rescue and the rest was history. Also America has religious freedom for sure. I also believe America has freedom of speech, but more and more censored and opposed by radicals. I think Orange County, California, is the best place to live in America or for that matter in the world; however, a retired person cannot afford the high cost of living and renting and the most costly and fraudulent healthcare in the world and without a convenient subway.
After the departure of President Nixon, I am convinced America is led astray and going in the wrong direction. I have written quite a few articles, hoping American leaders and politicians will wake up from the nightmare of an empire of wars and weapons of mass destruction, and return to the right path of peace and a respectable and decent Republic.
The British Empire was “the empire on which the sun never sets.” It had colonies in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia, Australia, New Zealand and even Antarctica. At its height, it covered more than 33,700,000 km2 (13,012,000 sq. mi), almost a quarter of the Earth’s total land area. The British had rivalries with the French, the Irish, the Spanish and the Dutch, as well as dealing with insurrections in their colonies. After World War II, Britain began a policy of decolonization, and the end of the Empire as such came in 1997, when Hong Kong was returned to China. Some former colonies continue to be part of the British Commonwealth, now called “The Commonwealth of Nations,” which is made up of 53 nations under the umbrella of Queen Elizabeth II as “Head of the Commonwealth.”
This article has presented 10 great European empires that made a name for themselves via imperialism, warfare, religion and size. Maybe an even greater empire still awaits us. Question for students (and subscribers): Might the European Union be considered an empire? Do you believe empires still have a place in the twenty-first century?

At its height, the British Empire was the largest to have ever existed. Aside from covering most of the globe, it was responsible for some of the greatest advances in engineering, art, and medicine that the world will ever know. The Empire gave us steam engines, penicillin, radar, and even television.
However, life under the British wasn’t all just incredible inventions. Alongside the good stuff the Empire did sat a whole ream of not-so-good stuff, and alongside that a whole load of other stuff so evil it’d make Dick Dastardly balk.
10 The Boer Concentration Camps
We all now know about the horrors of concentration camps, but during the time of Boer Wars, rounding up tens of thousands of innocent people and detaining them in camps seemed like a stroke of genius. The British needed the South African populace under control and had the means and manpower to detain them. What could possibly go wrong?
Try just about everything. Pitched under the white hot African sun and crawling with flies, the camps were overcrowded, underequipped, and lethally prone to disease outbreaks. Food supplies were virtually non-existent, and the callous guards would dock people’s meager rations for the slightest perceived offense. The result: sickness and death spread like wildfire, killing women by the thousands and children by the tens of thousands. In a single year, 10 percent of the entire Boer population died in the British camps—a figure that gets even worse when you realize it includes 22,000 children.
But the atrocity didn’t stop there. While rounding up the Boers, the British also decided to detain any black Africans they encountered, 20,000 of whom were worked to death in slave labor camps. All told, British policy in the war killed 48,000 civilians. That’s 18,000 more than the number of soldiers lost on both sides.
The Aden Emergency was a 1960s scramble to control the once-vital port of Aden in modern Yemen. Although the port had long been under British rule, a nationalist wave sweeping Yemen led to strikes, riots, and a general desire that the Brits leave as soon as possible. A desire the British decided to quell by opening torture centers.
Harsh and brutal, these centers housed the sort of horrors that would make Kim Jong-Un feel ill. Detainees were stripped naked and kept in refrigerated cells, encouraging frostbite and pneumonia. Guards would stub their cigarettes out on prisoner’s skin and beatings were common. But perhaps worst of all was the sexual humiliation. Locals who had been detained could expect to have their genitals crushed by guards’ hands, or to be forced to sit naked on a metal pole; their weight forcing it into their anus.
By 1966, an Amnesty report on these abuses had caused global outrage. Faced with international condemnation, the British apologized. They then kept right on using the torture centers for another full year.
In 1950, the Empire had a problem. Armed Communist insurgents were trying to take over Malay and most of the population seemed willing to let them do so. Reasoning that their forces stood no chance against a hidden army that could call upon the peasants for supplies, the British hit upon an ingenious solution. Rather than fight, they’d simply imprison all the peasants.
Known as “New Villages,” the camps constructed to house Malay’s poor were heavily fortified and watched over by trigger-happy guards. Inmates were forced to do hard labor in return for scraps of food, and contact with the outside world—including family—was forbidden. Once in a village, you lost all right to freedom and privacy. At night, harsh floodlights flushed out the shadows to stop clandestine meetings. Expressing any political sentiment could get your rations docked.
But perhaps most uncomfortable of all was the racist nature of the camps. Of the 500,000 people detained during the decade-long Emergency, only a handful were anything other than ethnic Chinese. Outside the barbed wire walls, another half a million Chinese were meanwhile being deported, sent into exile, or forced from their homes. In short. it was a racist policy that harmed nearly a million people, all so the British could cut off supplies to a handful of rebels.
The Amritsar Massacre On April 13, 1919, thousands of peaceful protesters defied a government order and demonstrated against British rule in Amritsar, India. Men, women, and children all descended on the walled Jallianwala Gardens, hoping to make their voices heard. What happened next was one of the lowest points in British history.
At 4.30pm, troops blocked the exits to the Garden and opened fire on the crowd. They kept firing until they ran out of ammunition. In the space of ten minutes, they killed between 379 and 1,000 protesters and injured another 1,100. A stampede caused a lethal crush by the blocked exits. Over 100 women and children who looked for safety in a well drowned. Rifle fire tore the rest to shreds.
When the news reached London, Parliament was so shocked it recalled the man who ordered the massacre, Brigadier Reginald Dyer. In a depressing twist of fate, the British public labeled him a hero and raised £26,000 (around $900,000 in today’s money) for “the man who saved India.” He died peacefully, convinced right to the end that his mindless slaughter had been morally justifiable.
The Cyprus Internment The big myth of the British Empire is that it nobly withdrew from its colonies when it realized the days of Imperialism were over. Yet one look at Cyprus proves the myth to be just a feel-good fairy tale. Between 1955 and 1959, the British responded to a Cyprus rebel bombing campaign by rounding up and torturing 3,000 ordinary Cypriots.
The victims of this internment campaign were often held for years without trial and violently abused for being “suspected” terrorists. Detainees received regular beatings, waterboarding, and summary executions. Children as young as 15 had burning hot peppers rubbed in their eyeballs, while others reported being flogged with whips embedded with shards of iron. Those found guilty of rebel sympathies were relocated to London, where a UK opposition party inspection found inmates with their arms broken and jagged scars running across their necks. In short, it was an appallingly sadistic policy, one that showed the British to be even lower than the terrorists they were meant to be fighting.
Crushing The Iraqi Revolution In 1920, the newly-formed nation of Iraq was tiring of British rule. Charged with guiding the new state towards independence, the Empire had instead installed puppet leaders. turning the place into a de facto colony. Fed up with their imperial overlords, the Iraqis turned to revolution, only for the British to unleash wave after wave of atrocities against them.
First the RAF conducted nighttime bombing raids on civilian targets. Then they deployed chemical weapons against the fighters, gassing whole groups of them. But the real horrors came in the aftermath, when the victorious British decided to use collective punishment against the offending tribes.
From that point on, any tribe that caused a fuss would have one of its villages randomly annihilated. Specific orders were given to exterminate every living thing within its walls, from animals to rebels to children. Other villages were subject to random searches. If the British found a single weapon, they would burn the place to the ground, destroy the crops, poison wells, and kill livestock. They’d sometimes target weddings to terrorize the population. In short, the British deliberately targeted civilians in a campaign that lasted the better part of half a decade, all because a few Iraqis had dared to ask for their country back.
The Partitioning Of India
As a servant of the British Empire in 1947, Cyril Radcliffe has the distinction of killing more people with the stroke of a pen than anyone else in history. With almost zero time to prepare himself, Radcliffe was tasked with drawing the border between India and newly-created Pakistan that would split the subcontinent forever along religious lines. It was a tricky task, one that had the potential to cause massive displacement and ethnic violence even if handled carefully. Radcliffe, on the other hand, was asked to make some of the most-important decisions during the course of a single lunch.
The result was a border that made no ethnic or geographical sense. Terrified of being caught on the wrong side, Hindus in modern Pakistan and Muslims in modern India upped sticks and ran. The result was 30 million people trying desperately to escape one country or the other, a situation that quickly spiraled into mind-numbing violence.
Gangs of armed Muslims held up border trains and slaughtered any non-Muslims onboard. Hindu mobs chased and battered Muslim children to death in broad daylight. Houses were ransacked, villages burnt, and half a million people killed. It was a ridiculous waste of life, one that could have been largely avoided simply by giving the unfortunate Cyril Radcliffe enough time to do his job properly.
Exacerbating The Irish Famine If you want to see why large parts of Ireland still despise anything remotely British, look no further than the Irish Famine. What started out as an ordinary if brutal famine soon became something more like genocide when London sent the psychopathic Charles Trevelyan to oversee relief work.
A proud Christian who believed the famine was God’s way of punishing the “lazy” Irish, Trevelyan was also a fierce devotee of Adam Smith. How fierce? Well, he passionately felt that government should never, ever interfere with market forces, to the extent that he refused to hand out food to the starving Irish. Instead, he instituted a public works program that forced dying people into hard labor building pointless roads so they could afford to buy grain. The only problem was he refused to control the price of grain, with the result that it skyrocketed beyond what the road builders could afford. Trevelyan thought this would encourage cheap imports. Instead it led to a million people starving to death.
To cap it all off, Trevelyan also launched a PR blitz in Britain that encouraged people to blame the Irish for their own poverty. Suddenly Irish emigrants looking for work found themselves unemployable and subject to violence, even as their friends and families starved to death back home. Because fate laughs in the face of justice, Trevelyan was later officially honored for his “relief work.”
In the 1950s, the people of Kenya decided they wanted their nation back. Unfortunately, the people they wanted it back from just happened to be the same guys responsible for every other atrocity on this list. Fearing a countrywide rebellion, the British rounded up 1.5 million people and placed them in concentration camps. What happened in these camps will turn your stomach.
Under slogans like “labor and freedom” and other variations on ” Arbeit macht frei,” inmates were worked to death as slave labor filling in mass graves. Random executions were not-uncommon and the use of torture was widespread. Men were anally raped with knives. Women had their breasts mutilated and cut off. Eyes were gouged out and ears cut off and skin lacerated with coiled barbed wire. People were castrated with pliers then sodomized by guards. Interrogation involved stuffing a detainee’s mouth with mud and stamping on his throat until he passed out or died. Survivors were sometimes burned alive.
The official body count is under 2,000, but more reliable estimates place the total dead in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Most of them were civilians or children, detained on vague, trumped-up charges of aiding the rebels. And it was all for nothing. Kenya was declared independent in 1963. In using those camps, the British lost both their African outpost and their souls.
The Bengal Famine
In 1943, a deadly famine swept the Bengal region of modern East India and Bangladesh. Between one and three million people died in a tragedy that was completely preventable. At the time, the extent of suffering was put down to an incompetent British government too busy dealing with a war to look after its empire properly. But in 2010 a new book came out claiming the lack of famine relief was deliberate and that the deaths of those millions had been intentionally engineered by one man: Winston Churchill.
According to the book, Churchill refused to divert supplies away from already well-supplied British troops, saying the war effort wouldn’t allow it. This in itself wouldn’t be too damning, but at the same time he allegedly blocked American and Canadian ships from delivering aid to India either. Nor would he allow the Indians to help themselves: the colonial government forbade the country from using its own ships or currency reserves to help the starving masses. Meanwhile, London pushed up the price of grain with hugely inflated purchases, making it unaffordable for the dying and destitute. Most-chillingly of all, when the government of Delhi telegrammed to tell him people were dying, Churchill allegedly only replied to ask why Gandhi hadn’t died yet.
If all this is true—and documents support it—then Winston Churchill, the British war hero who stood up to the Nazis, may well have starved to death as many innocent people as Stalin did in the Ukrainian genocide. Could the man who held out against Hitler really be capable of such an atrocity? Judging by the rest of this list, it wouldn’t be surprising.”

British leaders seem to be oblivious to the threatening crisis that Ireland and Scotland want to be free from the United Kingdom. Not only the sun already sets on the British empire, the fate of the United Kingdom looks dim and dark. Probably the British empire was the most evil empire in the last 500 years. British leaders and politicians do not repent of their war crimes and sins and reform the kingdom, instead of causing so much trouble in the world and with malice and hostility toward Russia and Chin.
III. European Union
The European Union is a group of 27 countries in Europe, they are:Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark,
Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia,
Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden. I used to like Norway, wondering why Norway is not a member of EU, probably that is a smart decision.
European imperialists and colonists had done so much genocides, war crimes, abuses of human rights, and evil deeds in the past 500 years and they have not repented of their sins and crimes. Now they have the gall to accuse China of genocide and human right abuses based on unfounded lies and false accusations.
Since the exit of the United Kingdom, compounded and confused by the power and pressure of the United States, NATO has no reason to exist. NATO exists only to wage war and threaten the security of Russia. The future of EU does not look bright because consequently they cannot work together, resentment and dissatisfaction are already brewing and burning. The only way to save EU is to stay out of the shadow of America, and to come out clean in the sunshine of truth by former European empires to pay fair and just compensations to its victimized colonies and to have normal relations with Russia and China.If EU blindly follows the U.S., it is doing so to its own peril. EU won’t last long before it disintegrates and dissolves.
On August 15, 1947, India became an independent country, thereby making George VI of the United Kingdom the last British emperor of India and signalling the end of one of history’s largest empires. No leader has ever conquered the entire world. Some have conquered whole countries, while others have taken over the greater half of continents. Europe has been one of the most densely populated continents for centuries. The first humans arrived in Europe approximately 1.75 million years ago. Prehistoric Europe consisted of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations that collapsed around 1,200 BC. The majority of early European history comes from what is now modern-day Greece and its neighboring countries. Most parts of Europe have, at one point, belonged to one of the major below-mentioned European empires whose ranking in this article is based on military presence, imperialism and population, as judged by the author.
Digging Deeper
10. The Celtic Empire
The Celts were an ethnolinguistic group of tribal societies in the Iron Age and Medieval Europe that spoke Celtic languages while having similar culture throughout western Europe. Though predominant in the British Isles (Great Britain and Ireland), their reach also extended over what is now modern-day Portugal, Spain, France, Holland, Belgium, Germany and Italy.The Celts first appeared in Central Europe around 1,200 B.C.; from there they moved westward. Their expansion was aided by their weaponry and brutal battle techniques. Classical writers such as Strabo and Dionysius described them as “wild beasts.”
In Book XIV of Roman Antiquities, Dionysius described their fighting as, “… being in large measure that of wild beasts and frenzied, was an erratic procedure, quite lacking in military science. Thus, at one moment they would raise their swords aloft and smite after the manner of wild boars, throwing the whole weight of their bodies into the blow like hewers of wood or men digging with mattocks, and again they would deliver crosswise blows aimed at no target, as if they intended to cut to pieces the entire bodies of their adversaries, protective armour and all.”
The Celts also had a strong art culture and later, despite their hedonistic appearance, adapted Christianity to replace their Paganism.
9. The Viking Empire
The Vikings were Norse seafarers who, from the late 8th to middle 11th centuries, would travel away from their homeland to trade, explore and sometimes raid areas of Europe, Asia and the North Atlantic islands. Although the Vikings did not conquer mainland Europe like the Celts, they did travel to the Middle East and Russia and even traded with China. There is strong evidence that they even reached North America and had settlements in the modern Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador.Along with their ability to expand, the Vikings were also known for their brutish warfare and violence as motivated by their Norse religion. One war tactic even consisted of deploying troops who had ingested hallucinogenic mushrooms or massive amounts of alcohol.
8. The Spanish Empire
The Spanish Empire began during the Age of Exploration in 1496 and would reach its peak as the foremost global power under the House of Habsburg. In the 16th century, Spain was exploring and colonizing half of North and South America, parts of Africa and even some islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Spaniards were an uncontested naval power until King Phillip II sent his Spanish Armada to invade England in 1588; its crushing defeat by the English paved the way for English expansion and colonialism.
7. The Portuguese Empire
Although it started as a small and relatively insignificant European country, Portugal would go on to have one of the largest and richest empires; its colonies including Brazil, coastal regions of Africa and trading posts in Asia. Known more as traders than warriors, the trade route from Portugal to India, founded by Vasco da Gama in 1498, introduced spices and other exotic new foods to Europe. In 1580, Philip II of Spain inherited the Portuguese crown, thereby beginning a 60-year union between Portugal and Spain.
6. The French Colonial Empire
For nearly 1,000 years, France has had a long-standing rivalry with England. Naturally this rivalry extended to their colonies as well, especially during the American Revolution. Though the French did establish colonies in the Caribbean, India and North America, after the sale of Louisiana, a territory that today is actually comprised of 15 modern-day U.S. states, to the U.S. in 1803 and the conquest of Algiers in 1830, they concentrated primarily on their colonies in northwestern Africa, Madagascar, French Guiana and select areas in southeastern Asia. By World War II, the French colonial empire, including France, had a population of 110 million.
5. The Roman/Byzantine Empire
The Byzantine Empire was the continuation of the eastern half of the Roman Empire after the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 473, and lasted from its inception in 330 until its own fall in 1453, though with a gap from 1204 to 1261 caused by Western European Crusaders occupying its capital, Constantinople. Its capital, Constantinople, or modern-day Istanbul, Turkey, was considered “The New Rome.” For most of its existence, this empire was the most powerful economic, cultural and military force in Europe. It eventually fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453.
4. The Russian Empire
The Russian Empire, which existed from 1721 until it was overthrown by the Bolsheviks in 1917, stretched over three continents and was only surpassed in size by the British and Mongol empires. At its peak, it was comprised of present-day Russia, Mongolia, Alaska and other territories around the Eurasian Peninsula. The expansion of the Russian Empire also allowed for the spread of Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In this article it is ranked over the French Empire because it was the Russians who thwarted Napoleon’s plans to take over and control all of Europe. Replaced by the USSR, the former Russian Empire achieved a new sort of “empire” status as the Soviets gained hegemony over many European and Central Asian territories before being dismantled in 1991.
3. The Third Reich
This empire, although controversial and hated, was responsible for World War II and is still fresh in our minds. Known as Nazi Germany, or the Third Reich, and ruled by Adolf Hitler, it only lasted from 1933 to 1945. It was a fascist totalitarian state that controlled almost all aspects of life. Particularly keen on promoting racism, German Nationalism and especially anti-Semitism, Hitler and the Nazis believed Aryans to be the master race. Jews and others deemed not up to Hitler’s expectations and standards were persecuted and/or murdered. Nazi Germany occupied most of Europe, with much of the rest being under the control of their allied “puppet states.” The Nazis eventually lost the war, and their empire was lost along with it.
2. The Holy Roman Empire
The Holy Roman Empire lasted from the Middle Ages until its dissolution in 1806. It was multi-ethnic and comprised of the territories of Germany, Italy, Bohemia and Burgundy. The emperor was traditionally elected and then crowned by the Pope. Throughout its early history, Catholicism was the main religion in its territories, but with the Reformation, new Protestant churches, such as Lutheranism and Calvinism, were introduced. After its defeat by Napoleon at the Battle of Austerlitz on December 2, 1805, the empire was defeated and dissolved soon afterwards.
1. The British Empire
The British Empire was “the empire on which the sun never sets.” It had colonies in North America, the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, southern Asia, Australia, New Zealand and even Antarctica. At its height, it covered more than 33,700,000 km2 (13,012,000 sq. mi), almost a quarter of the Earth’s total land area. The British had rivalries with the French, the Irish, the Spanish and the Dutch, as well as dealing with insurrections in their colonies. After World War II, Britain began a policy of decolonization, and the end of the Empire as such came in 1997, when Hong Kong was returned to China. Some former colonies continue to be part of the British Commonwealth, now called “The Commonwealth of Nations,” which is made up of 53 nations under the umbrella of Queen Elizabeth II as “Head of the Commonwealth.”
This article has presented 10 great European empires that made a name for themselves via imperialism, warfare, religion and size. Maybe an even greater empire still awaits us.

European imperialism and colonialism have been the worst offender of everything including genocide, human rights abuses, brutality and atrocity, exploitation in the world history in the last 500 years.
Three Canadian writers have resigned from the editorial board of Canadian Dimension, a respected left journal established in 1963, citing its coverage of Russia’s recent election and of the Canadian parliament’s vote to convict the China Government of ‘genocide’.
Three Canadian writers have resigned from the editorial board of Canadian Dimension (CD), a respected left journal established in 1963, citing its coverage of Russia’s recent election and of the Canadian parliament’s vote to convict the China Government of ‘genocide’.
When the US and its allies are on a dangerous offensive, CD has aligned itself on only one side of two key debates,’ they state in a letter to CD’s editor, reproduced below. ‘The “About” page on its website states that “For more than half-a-century, CD has provided a forum for lively and radical debate” and that it is “an independent forum for left-wing political thought and discussion.” In rejecting legitimate pieces on two key issues sorely in need of debate and discussion, the board has opted to cease implementing this stated policy.’
‘History amply demonstrates that the U.S. government and its allies routinely disseminate misinformation about the West’s official enemies in order to generate public support for a bellicose and militaristic foreign policy,’ said Dimitri Lascaris. ‘Given the extraordinary risks to humanity of military conflict between nuclear-armed states, it is vital that independent journalists maintain a healthy level of scepticism when evaluating U.S. government allegations about human rights abuses by the West’s official enemies.’
‘We deeply regret this outcome,’ said Radhika Desai, who co-edits the www.newcoldwar.org news and analysis blog with Alan Freeman, ‘’CD’s pioneering role in Canadian left publishing attracted us to join the board, which we regarded as an honour. We hope those who remain will reflect and reconsider their course. Meantime, we cannot be party to the suppression of legitimate critiques of the Government and the Mainstream, to which the Left and the Canadian public sorely needs access.’
‘Canada is suffering a damaging and worsening information deficit,’ said Alan Freeman. ‘Our work brings us in touch with an extensive world network of journalists and scholars, who are rarely heard in Canada. We will work with alternative outlets to give Canadians access to the voices that their own Government and Media are suppressing.’
The letter of resignation, which was addressed to Canadian Dimension’s founding editor Cy Gonick, can be read here:
Dear Cy,
With great regret, we write to tell you that we are leaving the editorial board of Canadian Dimension.
When the US and its allies are on a great and dangerous offensive, CD has aligned itself on only one side of two key debates: around Navalny and the Russian election, and around the Canadian parliament’s decision to brand China’s government as a genocidal regime. Having published, without discussion, an article voicing support for Navalny, an anti-immigrant racist, CD refused to publish John Ryan’s piece raising serious and legitimate questions about the Western narrative surrounding Navalny and his alleged poisoning by the Russian state. It further failed to re-post, despite agreement to do so, a Grayzone piece powerfully and legitimately exposing the leading proponents of the genocide allegation against China.
The journal has thus broken with its stated mission. The ‘About’ page on its website states that “For more than half-a-century, CD has provided a forum for lively and radical debate” and that it is “an independent forum for left-wing political thought and discussion – including just about the entire range of what passes for the left in Canada”. In rejecting legitimate pieces on two key issues sorely in need of debate and discussion on the Canadian Left, the board has opted to cease implementing this stated policy.
Its working practices rule out the possibility of correcting this defect in the foreseeable future. This could easily be done; the board need only act on its published guidelines by opening up its differences to the public. Instead, the bulk of submissions go through on the nod without informing us, whilst submissions that are opposed by a minority of the board are filibustered out of publication on allegedly technical grounds which, it is now clear to us, are simply excuses for refusing to publish any view this minority disagrees with. The decisions of the last board meeting, which simply formalize these practices, give us no reason to suppose any change can be expected.
Our objection is not to anything CD has published, but to its suppression of important currents on the left. We have never opposed, and will not oppose, publishing articles consistent with the mainstream left narratives about the West’s official enemies; we ask only that the board gives its readers access to articles that rigorously critique those narratives. After a long and honourable life in Canadian politics, CD faces a choice. Will it live by its avowed purpose by offering its readers a diversity of views and letting them make up their own minds? Or will it transform itself into the journal of a single, sectarian viewpoint on the key issues now facing Canada.
We fear that, with the decisions at the last meeting, CD may well be embarked on the latter course, a course to irrelevance. Certainly, with the suppression of the Ryan and Grayzone pieces we are unable to justify our continuing presence on its editorial board, either to our consciences, or to the Canadian Left.

Australia’s Centuries-Long Genocide Against Aboriginal People
By Richard Stockton
Published November 16, 2016
Updated January 26, 2021
“For nearly two centuries, Australia pursued deliberate policies of extermination against the native people that have left scars visible to this day.
Wikimedia Commons
Writing about the two months he spent in Australia during the around-the-world voyage of the HMS Beagle, Charles Darwin recollected this about what he saw there:
Wherever the European has trod, death seems to pursue the aboriginal. We may look to the wide extent of the Americas, Polynesia, the Cape of Good Hope, and Australia, and we find the same result…
Darwin happened to visit Australia at a bad time. During his 1836 stay, all of the indigenous people of Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand were in the midst of a catastrophic population crash from which the region has yet to recover. In some cases, such as that of the native Tasmanians, no recovery is possible because they’re all dead.
The immediate causes of this mass death varied. Deliberate killing of native people by Europeans greatly contributed to the decline, as did the spread of measles and smallpox.
Between disease, war, starvation, and conscious policies of kidnapping and re-education of native children, the Australian region’s indigenous population declined from well over a million in 1788 to just a few thousand by the early 20th century.”
Wikimedia Commons
The first humans we know of arrived in Australia between 40,000 and 60,000 years ago. That is an immense amount of time – at the upper end, it’s ten times longer than we’ve been farming wheat – and we know next to nothing about the bulk of it. Early Australians were preliterate, so they never wrote anything down, and their cave art is cryptic.
We do know that the land they traveled to was extremely harsh. Highly unpredictable seasons have always made Australia hard to live in, and during the last ice age huge carnivorous reptiles, including a monitor lizard the size of a crocodile, inhabited the continent. Giant man-eating eagles flew overhead, venomous spiders scurried underfoot, and clever humans took the wilderness head on and won.
By the time British explorer James Cook’s expedition reached Australia in 1770, over a million people – virtually all descendants of those first pioneers – lived in almost complete isolation, just as their ancestors had for a thousand generations.
The consequences of breaking this airlock were immediate and devastating.
In 1789, an outbreak of smallpox nearly wiped out the indigenous people living in what is now Sydney. The contagion spread outward from there and destroyed whole bands of Aborigines, many of whom had never seen a European.
Other diseases followed; in turn, the native population was decimated by measles, typhus, cholera, and even the common cold, which had never existed in Australia before the first Europeans came along and started sneezing on things.
Without an ancestral history of coping with these pathogens, and with only traditional medicine to treat the sick, the indigenous Australians could only stand by and watch as plagues consumed their people.
The Press for Land
Wikimedia Commons Farmland near Bruce Rock in the Western Australian wheat belt.
With the first large tracts of land cleared by disease, the London-based planners thought Australia seemed like an easy spot to colonize. A few years after the First Fleet dropped anchor, Britain established a penal colony at Botany Bay and started shipping convicts to farm the land there.
Australia’s soil is deceptively fertile; the first farms sprouted bumper crops right away and kept on producing good harvests for years. Unlike European or American soil, however, Australia’s farmland is only rich because it had tens of thousands of years to stockpile nutrients.
The land’s geological stability means there’s very little upheaval in Australia, so very few fresh nutrients get deposited in the dirt to support long-term agriculture. The bounteous harvests of the first years, therefore, were effectively gotten by mining the soil of non-renewable resources.
When the first farms gave out, and when colonists first introduced sheep to graze the wild grasses, it became necessary to spread out and cultivate new land.
As it happens, the children of those who survived the first epidemics occupied the land. Because they had a low population density – partly because of their hunter-gatherer lifestyle, and partly because of the plagues – none of these Stone Age nomads were in a position to resist settlers and ranchers with horses, guns, and British soldiers for backup.
As such, countless Aborigines fled land that their ancestors may have inhabited for thousands of years, and colonists simply shot numberless tens of thousands others to keep them from hunting sheep or stealing crops.
No one knows how many Australian natives died in this way. While the Aborigines had no way to keep records of the killing, the Europeans seem not to have bothered: Shooting an “abo” became so routine that accurate records are impossible to come by, but the death toll must have been immense as vast new tracts of land opened up to replace exhausted soil every few harvest cycles.”
According to
“Colonial Frontier Massacres in Australia, 1788-1930
“From the moment the British invaded Australia in 1788 they encountered active resistance from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander owners and custodians of the lands. In the frontier wars which continued until the 1960s massacres became a defining strategy to eradicate that resistance. As a result thousands of Aboriginal men, women and children were killed. This site presents a map, timelines, and information about massacres in Australia from 1794 when the first massacre was recorded until 1930. Only events for which sufficient information remains from the past and can be verified are included. The map also includes information about massacres of British colonists and others in Australia in the same period. After 1930 the massacres continued but are not included here.”

“War changed the face of New Zealand in the 19th century. Tens of thousands of Māori may have died in the intertribal Musket Wars between the 1810s and the 1830s. Muskets revolutionised intertribal warfare, decimating some tribes and drastically shifting the boundaries of areas controlled by others. Thousands fled their traditional lands, complicating questions of ownership and opening large areas to potential Pākehā (European) settlement.
Between the 1840s and the 1870s British and colonial forces fought to open up the interior of the North Island for settlement in conflicts that became known collectively as the New Zealand Wars. Sovereignty was contested on the ground despite the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, and Māori became less willing to sell land to the rapidly growing European population. Many Māori died defending their land; many other Māori allied themselves with the colonists for a variety of reasons, sometimes to settle old scores.
Most of the several thousand people killed during the New Zealand Wars were Māori, and the land of many of the survivors was subsequently confiscated. ”

IN CONCLUSION
It must be made clear. I do not speak for China. I do not represent China. I do not work for China. I am not even a Chinese citizen, China is the land of my ancestors; and because I am an American. However, facts are facts which lie cannot overthrow. There never has been genocide, forced labor, abuse of human rights in China. Instead China has succeeded in eliminating Islamic terrorism in Xinjiang, produced a harmonious society, a productive and happy work force, and a progressive and prosperous good land. China has eliminated the terrorists and followers of Dalai Lama and made Tibet a good and prosperous land. China has succeeded in eliminating the foreign agents and Chinese terrorist traitors in Hong Kong, consolidated the government under Constitutional security, made Chinese traitors and terrorists on the run, AND preserved Hong Kong as a viable and prosperous autonomous region of China which the West failed to colonize again. Only Taiwan which legally belongs to China but is in fact a colony of America. American policy on Taiwan is altogether stupid and wrong. If President Richard Nixon were alive, he would gladly return Taiwan to China with an apology. America has wronged China historically too many times. The traitors of Taiwanese regime should all be executed once Taiwan is liberated. The sooner the better. Please read the article Why America Must Not Engage War With China: https://williewongthought.hpage.com/why-the-united-states-must-not-have-war-with-china.html
However, more than anything else I am a disciple and servant of Jesus Christ. I write this article because of the truth and I know the truth. I cannot let enemies of the truth to suppress the truth. I cannot surrender to let lies rule the world. It is my duty to speak the truth, to practice the truth, to testify to the truth, to stand in the truth, to rejoice in the truth, to proclaim the truth, to obey the truth, to love the truth, to believe the truth. I cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth. I must be straightforward about the truth.
China, like all other nations in the world, is not a perfect country. China has many problems, but China is not an abuser of human rights in Xinjiang, Tibet or Hong Kong much less committing genocide. As a matter of fact, China is the only nation in the history of the world which has lifted out 770 million peasants from abject poverty. No nation has ever done this before. Democracy is doing the greatest good to the greatest number of people. Instead of sanctioning China on false charges, the West should support China. Or at least leave China alone. It is most absurd and ridiculous to treat and force China to be a rival or competitor. China does not want to compete with America or any nation. China only competes with itself to restore the past glory of China a 1,000 years ago.
The US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand are hypocrites and liars for a long, long time. American and Western leaders have gone astray from the truth, claiming they have democracy, human rights, freedom, and justice while they do not. They oppose the truth because what they really want is to continue to dictate and dominate the world in everything. They deceive the world and deceive themselves, and the truth is not in them. They are not walking in the truth when they want to eliminate Russia and China so that they can solely rule the whole world without opposition. Lies and not truth prevail in the six nations, for they proceed from evil to evil. They are not Christian nations.
China and Russia are no real enemies of the West, but the Western powers want to make Russia and China their enemies. The West must not turn away from the truth, what they must do is to seek a just and lasting piece for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand repent of their genocide, abuses of human rights, crimes and sins? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand stop being hypocritical and self-righteous? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand right the wrongs of their past and pay fair and just compensations to their victims? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand stop shamelessly interfering in the internal affairs of other nations? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand stop lying, killing and robbing other nations and peoples? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand stop seeking absolute military superiority and world domination? When will the West stop preparation for the Nuclear War and seek a just and lasting peace for the world? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand stop discriminating and sanctioning Russia and China? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand mind their own business and stop interfering in the internal affairs of other nations? When will the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, New Zealand start speaking the truth and practicing the truth?
Why the American leaders and politicians are not interested in solving so many American pressing problems at home, wasted money and efforts in wrongfully accusing and sanctioning Russia and China for fake and false charges, is beyond the imagination of any patriotic American.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.
Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.
“That group’s president, John Feinblatt, called it “absolutely heartbreaking.”
“This is yet another in a long string of horrific tragedies, from Boulder today to Atlanta last week to the dozens more people in the United States who are shot every day, but whose stories do not make the headlines,” he said. “To save lives and end these senseless killings, we need more than thoughts and prayers — we need federal action on gun safety from the Senate and the administration, and we need it now.”
These are indisputable and unquestionable, numerous, established, documented, historical facts and proofs that European imperialists and colonialists, American imperialists and Japanese militarists have committed war crimes and atrocities for hundreds of years. If you say you are Christians, are you not afraid to face God in the judgment to come?
Leaders and politicians of THE WESTERN NATIONS cited above HAVE BEEN LIARS, KILLERS, AND ROBBERS for a long, long time only God knows. According to the Word of God, liars, killers and robbers will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. They will all go straight to Hell to suffer eternal punishment for their sins, crimes, and evil deeds.
I sincerely urge America and the Western nations to live in peace and love and practice the truth — that is the good and right way to please and serve God, the Lord of the Universe.

This article is written to let every patriotic Americans know America is facing the greatest CRISIS in history. If America does not change course, the end is destruction.
This article is written not because I get pay to do it. This article is written because America is facing the greatest CRISIS in its history as never before. Often when things are happening right before our eyes, very few know what actually is happening. There are not many who are endowed with a good sense to see reality and think clearly of somethings must be done quickly. This article is written so that the American President, American politicians, high ranking officials, and the American citizens can know what changes are necessary to take place in response to the crisis. To change is for the better, not for the worse. There are those who say to save America is to destroy the Republican Party. That is all wrong, you cannot replace one tyrant with another tyrant and call it change.
PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington. The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.
The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all. Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national refrerendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, andthat the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish landand relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news,counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.
AMERICA MUST CHANGE
Mr. President, Vice President, US Supreme Court Justices, Senators, Congressmen, State Governors, high ranking officials, you are elected, or appointed, and paid to do a job. I am an unpaid American citizen, but I am making a proposal that will save America, establish the U.S. Constitution on a firm foundation, true and sound democracy in system of government and just politics to make America a righteous nation.
Many patriotic and informed Americans are worried and weary about COSTS AND WASTES OF AMERICAN EMPIRE.
The U.S. currently has hundreds of military bases on every continent except Antarctica, costing $250 billion annually to maintain. Ironically, these bases tend to create the need for still more bases. They promote resentment in areas where American GI’s live in pampered bubbles, located on prime real estate, and in culturally divergent ways relative to the natives.
At the time that Chalmers Johnson wrote The Sorrows of Empire in 2004, the Department of Defense (DOD) publicly acknowledged 725 bases around the world, although there were understood to be significantly more due to secrecy and various means of obscuring the presence of a military installation by using euphemisms in different documents (e.g. in connection with Israel).
Despite the official tally by the DOD having dropped somewhat in recent years, there are undoubtedly many more bases now with the accession of nine more countries to NATO, along with bombing campaigns extended to several more countries and covert military operations expanded into numerous others as well as the proliferation of smaller “lily pad” style bases.”
As Chalmers Johnson wrote (p. 152): “There is something else at work, which I believe is the post-Cold War discovery of our immense power, rationalized by the self-glorifying conclusion that because we have it, we deserve to have it. The only truly common elements in the totality of America’s foreign bases are imperialism and militarism – an impulse on the part of our elites to dominate other peoples largely because we have the power to do so, followed by the strategic reasoning that, in order to defend these newly acquired outposts and control the regions they are in, we must expand the areas under our control with still more bases.
“To maintain its empire, the Pentagon must constantly invent new reasons for keeping in our hands as many bases as possible long after the wars and crises that led to their creation have evaporated. As the Senate Foreign Relations Committee observed as long ago as 1970: ‘Once an American overseas base is established it takes on a life of its own. Original missions may become outdated but new missions are developed, not only with the intention of keeping the facility going, but often to actually enlarge it.’”
Billions of dollars are spent annually on constructing and maintaining these bases just in the Middle East where estimates of the number of military bases in Afghanistan alone had ranged up to 411 at one point. Bases in this region are mostly on behalf of the goal of protecting Persian Gulf oil supplies. Indeed, $40 trillion is estimated to have been spent on this over the past 40 years.”
“Moreover, as Michael Scheuer, former CIA specialist on the Middle East for 22 years, argues persuasively, one of the primary reasons that young Muslim males in the region are motivated to blow themselves up in terrorist actions against the U.S. is due to the presence of American military bases on sovereign and Muslim lands. Virtually no Muslims – no matter how radical – are motivated to commit such acts because of the way we live within our own borders.”
According to geopolitical analyst, Conn Hallinan, “We spend more on our ‘official’ military budget than we do on Medicare, Medicaid, Health and Human Services, Education, and Housing and Urban Development combined.”
In fact, if that $6 trillion spent on wars in the Middle East was to be invested in projects that improved Americans’ lives, we could achieve the following and still have some left over:
2. Invest the upfront costs to implement the Stanford University plan for 100 percent renewable energy in the U.S. by 2050, creating almost 6 million jobs over 40 years in the process ($350 billion*);
3. Expand Medicare to cover all Americans ($394 billion);
4 Double the salary of all high school teachers ($80 billion)
Instead, we have the budgetary sinkhole that has become the security state; simultaneously, our politicians have implemented major tax cuts for the wealthy. The result over the past 15 years is that we have witnessed the largest transfer of money upward to the wealthiest segment of our society.
Four hundred Americans now have more wealth, totaling $2 trillion, than 50 percent of all Americans combined. We have also officially become an oligarchy, where only corporations and the super wealthy are able to influence policy.”
According to https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074292/plotsummary When I think of the American empire, I do not think of the Titanic, I think of The Cassandra Crossing.A Plague Infested Train Speeds Across Europe To Certain Death At Cassandra Crossing. The unfortunate train submerged in the water of the river belowCassandra Crossing, along with large concrete chunks of the ill-fated bridge, steel beams, human corpses, and sentimental objects belonging to the passengers, including …
Many patriotic Americans view the costs and wastes of American empire is like the Cassandra Crossing, “The Runaway Train“ without brake, and without a future. By analogy, American leaders and politicians, the military-industrial-security complex and bureaucrats are running the Cassandra American Empire Train. It is infected with the plague or pestilence of America First and World Domination. The American Empire Train is without any moral or spiritual brake, it is on high speed to a wrecked, unsound steel arch bridge totally broken. It is the path to sure doom and destruction. America cannot continue as it is because it is travelling at a high speed train without brake and with no destination but certainty of doom.
There are American people and groups who disturbingly claim and hold and proclaim the Fraudulent 2020 Election Is History. Those who strongly maintain the election was a fraud but unable to provide evidence or proof. How many timestheUSSupremeCourt, the US Courts, justices and judges on both state and federal levelsmade unanimous rejection of election fraud claims; although the Myth of Stolen Elections lives on among many Americans. Just as there were some uninformed Americans who died thinking CORONAVIRUS was hoax. Those well-meaning but misguided Americans who believe in this political lie become a tragic and dangerous force as it created a national crisis unprecedented. This political lie shook up the foundation of the nation and shocked the whole world.
My fellow Americans, I am sure you are as concerned for our Country as I am because of a series of events that took place since 2019, especially the recent Capitol Riots, Insurrection and Mayhem on January 6, 2021 led and incited and fomented by the former American leader and the groups inside America who wanted to destroy America, ironically with the deceitful slogan of “SAVE AMERICA”. There have been many deadliest events in American history. This one is different, because it was created by former American leader and groups of Americans within.THE DANGER FROM WITHIN IS WORSE THAN THE DANGER FROM WITHOUT. The fact that the presidential inauguration required 250,000 National Guard troops to insure the security of the Capitol, and security forces in the capitals of 50 states — speaks loudly the failure of American democracy, and spells out clearly the failure of American society and shame of American way of life.
It is incorrect to expect the radical extreme white supremacists who want to overthrow America will repent soon. American choice is not based on academic propositions. American choice must base on survival and success of the Republic. Most Americans see themselves as democracy, but the world sees America as chaos. This may be American last chance to save itself from destruction and oblivion.
The Tyrant suffers at least two severe symptoms in his abnormal personality: First, his delusions of grandeur exhibit in self-delusional personality and self-love so much so that he counts all his failure as success, his weakness as strength, his disgrace as glory; even in his watch over 400,000 Americans died, he shamelessly and without conscience gives himself A+ in controlling and handling of the CORONAVIRUS pandemic. Second, he is the worst racist with psychopathic tendency and number one enemy of China for whatever his inner inadequacy and jealousy, without truth and without shame, even in his last speech he still calls it China virus; he still believes in a lie that the election was a steal but he could not produce the evidence or proof of fraud. In the person of Tyrant casts a dark shadow and embodiment as the forerunner of the Lawless One to appear in the last days, 2Th 2:8.
It is not easy to depict or describe a former American leader who was a shameless liar, without a grain of truth in him, egomaniac, dishonest, deceptive, lawless, capricious, dangerous, pretentious, vicious, malicious, heartless, a moral charlatan, a false Christian brother, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, a dictator who is bent on lying, killing, robbing as means to achieve world domination. The false leader has been no. 1 oppressor and enemy of China with malice and a series of false and irrational accusations. Years of white supremacy that feeds on the evil empire of world conquest and domination finally culminated in Capitol riots and mayhem. What was practiced abroad, chicken comes home to roost.
This is the unprecedented AMERICAN CRISIS as never before. This is AMERICA AT STAKE unprecedented. This is national EMERGENCY. AMERICA IS IN DANGER as never before. This is about AMERICAN SURVIVAL. We cannot afford to have a wrong perception to fool ourselves. We must agree with Arnold Joseph Toynbeewho said, “Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.“America is dying from suicide, not caused by Russia or China. The recent events prove the U.S. Constitution, form of government, law and order, the two American Parties, freedom of speech, impeachment, the US Supreme Court, American democracy, etc. are not working at all but completely out of order.
God will not help America if America does not want to help itself. There are many areas that America must change or die. Here is only an outline what America must change, to go into detail would require volumes, and there is no time to do that. American crisis is urgent, true American leaders and Americans who love America must act now or never. What true American leaders and patriotic Americans must do, must do quickly without delay. True American leaders and patriotic Americans must not hesitate, he who hesitates is lost. Americans must choose now.
EMPIRE OR REPUBLIC
There are people who hold this view: The US is a republic. The US is also an Empire; the US is a military empire, an economic empire and wants to be a social/cultural empire. The outcry: “America owns the world!” America cannot be a Republic and an Empire at the same time. If you are a sheep, you cannot be a goat at the same time. All American problems domestic and foreign, national and international, CAN BE TRACED from this dual nature of America.If America goes down the wrong path of empire, it will ultimately fail, fall and ruin.
America is already a de facto empire, not simply because the USA is being the world’s sole superpower, by virtue of its military supremacy, economic monopoly, global domination, technological and scientific prowess, and political-military alliances. America is an evil empire by choice of American presidents and politicians after President Richard Nixon and with silent consent of the public. American presidents and politicians deliberately sought absolute military supremacy and world domination in all areas. America is now paying for its crimes and sins. The consequences of imperialism and hegemony are far-reaching and devastating to itself and the world. Since the end of World War II, America has done great evil in the world through its conquest, many unjust wars and bloody military interventions have killed millions and millions of innocent peoples, attacked and occupied many sovereign nations, lied, killed, and robbed many peoples. The arrogance, deception, negligence, irresponsibility, abuse of power, sanction, oppression, hostility, malice, no truth, no integrity, tariffs, lawlessness committed by the late leader are unprecedented and shocked the whole world! The empire is not an historic opportunity, but the extremity to make America the most hated nation on earth.
Lately American people have observed, watched, and witnessed how a bad leader can be lawless, dangerous, shameless, deceptive, dishonest, dictatorial, immoral, irresponsible, consequential, corrupt, and evil. American citizens being the masters of the nation must be equipped to act promptly and quickly to save the nation in time of crisis or emergency. The due process of law is too slow and ineffective. National Referendum is designed to make life or death decisions in a fast movement.
History has provided more than enough evidence of the inevitable decline and destruction of all empires, from Babylon the great to the evil British empire. To ignore the fate of all empires is to ignore our own great peril. You know enemies within are more dangerous than foes outside such as Iran. I hope and pray for the right American Leader at this decisive moment to lead the majority of patriotic Americans and lead America in the right direction. My proposal may help.
Therefore the American citizens hereby choose to
DENOUCE EMPIRE AND RETURN TO THE REPUBLIC…
If the American leaders and majority of Americans insist to be an EMPIRE, then this proposal is useless, and there is no need to go further. However, the assumption is the fact that American leaders and most American citizens resolve to give up the EMPIRE and return to the respectable REPUBLIC.
These are perilous times, dangerous times, more serious than most Americans may think. America is simultaneously facing so many pressing problems, what I am proposing to save America is only basic, fundamental, the great details can come later after America is saved.
America changes itself and does not wish to rule the world and thus make the following changes.
THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
The President shall work with the Congress and the leaders of the States to change and revise the American Constitution.Whereas the Constitution of the United States of America is changed to stipulate clearly the SOVEREIGNTY of the United States of America is fully vested in the people of America namely its citizens. The American people will have the final authority, or the final say, on any issues or matters of great importance to the nation. American citizen is defined as a person who was born of American parents in America, by birth or by naturalization. American citizens are therefore the true MASTERS and supreme DECISION MAKERS of the United States REPUBLIC. The means to demonstrate and administrate the sovereignty is through NATIONAL REFERENDUM. A national referendum is used to resolve any American national issue of importance or grave matters.On any vital issues or important matters, the American Citizens of the Republic require 51% to pass or reject any decision or determination. It requires 51% of American citizens to remove instantly the American president, vice president, Supreme Court justice or judge, senator, or any high ranking national official without the abandoned and slow process of impeachment. Only American citizens can have the right to participate in a national referendum. An illegal alien or legal resident who presumes and practices this privilege shall be deported immediately, he and his household no matter how they got into America, and no matter how long they have stayed in America.
The US CONSTITUTION defines national issues that require National Referendum in the areas of constitutional power, presidential power, federal power, state power, congressional power, conduct and behavior of high ranking national officials, budget and national debt, defense, war, diplomacy, climate, environment, major industry and technology, healthcare, education, research and development, international treaty, nuclear disarmament and proliferation, etc.National referendum cannot be abused or to be used for minor issues or triviality.
The American President cannot openly or covertly engage in war or military operations without a National Referendum approval and approval of the Congress; unless the United States is being attacked by a foreign power or group. Then the President has full authority and power to respond and retaliate effectively against any foreign attack without approval of the Congress or American people.
A State Referendum can be used to remove any State official (such as governor) without impeachment. A majority vote of no confidence is sufficient legal ground to remove any national or state official. Only American citizens live in a State can qualify to vote in that State Referendum.
To make the National Referendum effective it requires to build millions of voting machines where the American citizens must go to cast his/her vote in person without delay. There must be regular legal voting stations with easy access all over the country. The voting stations must be made known beforehand and their locations are prominent and permanent. A voting machine must be simple but flawless and fool-proof without fraud or manipulation. Every voting machine must be able to register the name, address, social security number, telephone or cell pone number, gender, occupation of the citizen for verification purposes and also able to take a photo of the voter to be included in the PERSONAL file record of the voter. The voting machine shall present the ballot issues, such as to remove the president, to declare war, to increase the national debt, etc. with YES or NO answer. YES means to support the measure, NO means to reject the measure. The voting machines of the United States are controlled by the Master Machine in Washington, D.C. properly secured and guarded and maintained, which is able to see the voting process in the whole nation and finally the machine is able to tabulate or total the positive or negative votes of all the citizens in the country. The ultimate decision of American citizens can be made known in a few moments. So that the National Referendum is able to meet any national challenge or crisis urgently and conveniently. The voting machines must be designed, maintained, serviced and operated by a national supercomputer with full security and functionality at all times.
To admit or delete a state from the Union, to declare War, to increase national debt, to increase or decrease of the salary of the president, vice president, senator, justice or judge, or high ranking official, etc. requires the support of 51% of American citizens through national referendum.
A National Referendum can be implemented anytime if the majority of the Congress decides to do so. Or if there are at least 40% of American citizens nationwide agree to make the initiative. A state referendum can be implemented only if the majority of the state assembly decides to do so. Or if there are at least 40% of state legal residents agree to make the initiative.
If the President, or the Commander in Chief, wants to declare war to a peaceful nation, or using the so-called threat to national security as an excuse, a national referendum is required to authorize the president. However, if America is being attacked by any nation or group, the president has the power to declare war against the aggressor without a national referendum and without congressional approval.
The U.S. Constitution declares American English as the official national language of the United States of America, to be used in all communications whether public or private matters, in all governments (federal, state, and local), in public and private places, in business and industry, in schools and shops, in airports and public transportation, in parks and stadiums and museums, in hospitals and clinics, in markets and trade, and everywhere. The government does not provide interpreters or translations. However, all foreign languages and dialects are not prohibitive in home and private use.
The salaries, wages, benefits, and pensions of all federal employees must be approved by the majority of American citizens in a national referendum.
The US Constitution authorizes the use and reading of the Holy Bible in all government facilities, schools, and all public places. Prayers are also permitted in public but only on a voluntary basis.
The US Constitution shall make payments and reparations to the natives of America, the Red Indians, for the crime America committed in the beginning by killing the Red Indians and robbing their land. Hereby I propose that the federal government pays US$700 a month to every true descendant of Native Americans, not self-claimed or White-pretended, in addition to social security benefits, as long as they live. The U.S. government shall give assistance to the natives of America to improve their living condition in anyway feasible. Of course this will require a National Referendum to authorize it. If you know the history, all Americans are obligated to approve this payment.
The Black population cannot make any claim to the U.S. government because they were descendants of black slaves. Since it was African Blacks who sold blacks to the Southern rich White plantation owners; they may pursue the descendants of white plantation owners for damages if the court agrees. In addition, since the Great Society of Lyndon Johnson, the federal, state, and local governments had spent already more than US$6 trillion dollars to assist the American blacks to this day.
Some groups believe if you can speak and have eloquence, you are a leader. A leader requires more than speaking, but moral living. Balaam was a false prophet who had eloquence but he also loved the wages of unrighteousness. All false prophets love money, power, and sex. A person certified by FBI as an immoral person can never be glorified as a leader. All new monuments to be erected in Washington, D.C. must be approved by American citizens through a National Referendum. Through a national referendum, whatever the current monuments deem unworthy and undeserving may be removed instantly any time. The monuments of Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln are safe and permanent honors in American history.
The US Constitution is authorized the US Government to return all the Chinese national treasures looted, robbed and stolen since the infamous Opium Wars to the present day to the Chinese government with sincere apology. These millions of Chinese national treasures some of them are located and displayed in Smithsonian Institutions, state, county, city public museums and private museums and collections. All the rest can be found in famous European and Japanese public and palace museums and private collections.
The US Constitution recognizes only monogamy (marriage of one male and one female). All other forms marriage are not valid or lawful. Polygamy is illegal. Although Christian principles are good, America is not a Christian nation, and cannot impose the Christian faith and practice on unbelieving citizens. Divorce is therefore allowed according to the federal law or state law.
Large scale air pollution, environmental pollution, soil or land pollution, fake drugs, fake vaccines, fake food, fake drinks, fake products, fake services, etc. shall be paid with death penalty and all assets seized for the U.S. Treasury.
PUBLIC HEALTH AND CORONAVIRUS
Due to negligence and neglect of the previous administration, millions of citizens have suffered and many have died needlessly. The federal government is in charge of controlling public health issues and pandemics and administration of Vaccinations. These are matters of life and death. The State governments must follow the instructions and directions of the federal government and work in tandem with the federal government. It is right and proper to wear masks in times of the surge of COVID-19, anyone who does not wear mask when required, forfeits his/her own health or life. Wearing mask is not an issue of personal freedom. No one is free to harm himself/herself and the public. In an emergency all citizens and and residents must follow directions of the government.
NOT A CHRISTIAN NATION
Although America is not a Christian nation, but majority of Americans call and consider themselves Christians. When we say Christians we usually mean Protestants, Catholics are a different category. Since the majority of American citizens believe and practice Christianity, they are Christians by religion, therefore Christmas, Good Friday, Easter, Pentecost, Thanksgiving and New Year are considered paid national holidays. There are military chaplains of the Christian faith only. America believes and practices religious freedoms. However, any religion which practices polygamy, burning incense, human sacrifice, mistreatment and slavery of women and girls, etc. is considered illegal and prohibitive to practice in America.
The U.S. Constitution authorizes the practice of Bible reading and prayer in government and schools. However, it is a voluntary act; no one is forced. In the first place, let us made it clear once and for all: The United States of America from the beginning to the present has never been and is not a Christian nation. There is no such as a thing called Christendom. For that matter, there is not one Christian nation on earth. The greatest historical fraud was what is known as “White Man’s Burden.” European white supremacists pretended to be Christians with the white man’s burden to colonize the poor and uncivilized natives in the world. They did so in fact under European imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopoly to conquer nations and peoples and made colonies in Asia, Africa, Latin America, Australia. They lied, killed, and robbed the national resources of peoples of their colonies to enrich the European empires and nations. Among them was the evil British Empire. Led by the British Empire and America, they instigated the infamous Opium Wars to kill and rob the Chinese, occupied and demarcated China. They attacked China, burned down the Yuan Ming Yuan Garden which was more beautiful and luxurious than the Versailles Palace. These 8 European nations and Japan robbed and looted China’s millions of national treasures worth at market value US$100,000 trillion dollars, not counting the cost of interest; and not counting the destruction of Yuan Ming Yuan Garden which was more precious than the Versailles Palace. These priceless China’s national treasures are now displayed at the British Museum, royal palaces, the Louvre, Smithsonian Institutions, etc. public and private museums and collections.
When I was a boy I was brained washed to believe in the romantic and idyllic so-called Pilgrim Fathers who fled the European religious persecution on Mayflower coming to a new world and establishing a Christian nation. The so-called Pilgrim Fathers were nothing but white supremacists who fled to an old world who killed the natives of America (Red Indians) and robbed their land by conquest. The white supremacists almost killed off the natives of America, the Red Indian race.
Those so called evangelicals are fooled by the late leader or fooled themselves because of their hunger for worldly power — access to the White House. Even Billy Graham, and not one American preacher, dared to preach against the sins and crimes committed by American presidents and politicians. How could anyone overlook the Scriptures: John 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” It is not unpatriotic to tell the truth.
The former leader publicly lied many times on TV which can be verified. There is no truth in him.Do not be fooled by false prophets and false teachers and false brothers, there is no such a thing call Christian Nationalism. Just as there is no such a thing called Christian imperialism. Those evangelicals who believe and practice so-called Christian nationalism are not enlightened whatever stripes they may have. No heresy can be allowed to fester and grow. It is not a good thing that Christian Nationalism has become a synonym for white supremacy. White supremacy is the sole cause of world domination and dictatorship today with its resultant evil consequences. The so-called evangelical support of the wrong leader with his so-called nationalist agenda is the root cause of American demise and danger at this moment. Those misguided and delusional rioters were incited by the false leader. Their slogan of “Save America” has the actual effect of “Destroy America” because of their extreme ideology and behavior. It is blasphemous to construe that so-called Christian Nationalism is divine; it is like saying that Jesus uses the power of Satan to cast out demons. It is like using “White Man’s Burden” to justify white European imperialism and colonialism and capitalism. It does not appear historically thatAmerican past is connected to larger divine origins and purposes. A false belief is the root cause of American many problems. God never authorizes American form of political religion. God never sanctions the politics and values of the Anglo-American culture and tradition. The evil empire of America is no divine model of so-called promoting democracy and freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Those who created Capitol Mayhem are definitely not true patriots. There is also no such a thing called political theology, there is only one Biblical theology. Sadly, the two American parties, Democratic and Republican, do not represent American national interest, only partisan interests. Those so-called evangelicals who supported a false leader have fooled themselves in believing the false leader was defending their faith and traditional moral beliefs. They could only blame themselves for their inchoate assumptions, convictions, and intuitions that are not systematically or rationally deduced. They could not justify it on a Biblical basis. It is a compounded confusion to expect unbelieving critics to come up with a political principle derived from the Bible. The real problem is not so-called Christian Nationalism, an epithet of no substance. Equally, there is no such a thing called Christian patriotism, no Christian Republicanism, etc. Those who call themselves evangelicals but do not abandon any ideology contrary to the Scriptures are doomed to failure again and again. There is no high church or low church anyway, only the Church of Jesus Christ. Christians do not follow any earthly church or denomination. Christians do not follow any man, including Billy Graham. Christians follow Jesus Christ and the Holy Scriptures only.
The real problem is Americanism which is the national religion of most whites including those evangelicals. Those who hold Americanism believe America is a special nation, exceptional, chosen and appointed by God to lead and rule the world. This false ideology is the root cause of all American evils done in the world. Even Billy Graham did not dare to preach against the sins of American presidents who have been lying, killing, and robbing many nations and peoples since the end of World War II. Does the Bible teach a Christian to be a nationalist? No. For the same reason, a Christian cannot be an evolutionist. Christians think of things above and focus on Jesus Christ.
WELFARE IS REPLACED BY WORKFARE
The U.S. Constitution abolishes welfare and turns it into workfare. There is no public assistance to American legal residents; only American citizens may qualify to receive public assistance of any form, and they must work for it. Unless American citizens are blind, crippled, paralyzed, disabled, psychotic, destitute elderly, etc. they may qualify to apply for free public assistance. All American citizens who apply for public assistance must be willing to work for it. The U.S. government does not provide any assistance to illegal aliens or legal American residents. American citizens who need public assistance, federal, state, county and city will contribute. The city is responsible to administer the assistance program according to federal guidelines.
Any citizen who receives welfare benefits must work for them. An unmarried single woman who has sex with the man who does not want or who cannot support her and his offspring shall not receive public assistance in any form. If she wants to receive public assistance, she shall be sterilized. The man who commit fornication and who is unwilling or unable to take responsibility of his sexual behavior shall be sterilized too. Any person who receives public assistance does not qualify to vote. America is adopting the Protestant ethic of hard work, thrift, and responsibility as national policy to rebuild America.
IIEGAL MIGRANTS
Millions of illegal migrants of many backward and corrupt nations dream and fancy themselves if only they arrive or reach the United States or Europe, they are entitled to live on welfare without work happily hereafter. Caravans of illegal migrants march boldly and impudently toward the United States. Here are news for them. The US government does not admit illegal aliens, and does not accept economic or political asylums (except very rare political asylums). The US government does not provide public assistance or welfare to any illegal aliens. Illegal aliens are not entitled to anything or any right in America. America does not have policy or program to accept illegal migrants. All illegal aliens are to be deported without delay, no matter how long they have been illegally staying in America. It is a federal crime to hire and hide any illegal alien. America is no refuge for illegal aliens. America does not interfere with the internal affairs of any country, including Europe. If Europe welcomes illegal migrants and provide welfare for them, it is their own business. Every nation is responsible for its own destiny.
The U.S. Constitution does not recognize children born in America by illegal aliens as American citizens. Children born of American citizens are automatically American citizens. An American citizen may reside anywhere in the Union, coming and going, full freedom of movement, without report to any agency or anyone. An American citizen who lives in a certain State automatically becomes the legal resident of that State. An American citizen who travels in any state of the Union and stays in a hotel does not need to report to the government. An American citizen with a U.S. passport, leave and return, does not need to report to any agency or anyone. An American citizen is also a legal resident of any state he/she resides. A legal resident is any person who is admitted to the United States legally who holds a green card. A legal resident who has not become naturalized is not an American citizen. Children born of American residents (not American citizens) are American residents. All illegal aliens are to be deported immediately without delay, and it does not matter how long they have been staying in America illegally. America does not welcome economic and political asylums (except rare cases) and does not accept illegal immigrants for economic and other reasons. America may want and accept highly educated professionals without criminal records or contagious disease and their immediate blood families with no regard to their race, color and country. If a member of American legal resident commits a terrorist act, including the execution of the terrorist; his/her whole family shall be deported at once and never be allowed to visit America again.
When caravans of illegal migrants act aggressively and lawlessly and by force they want to enter the territory of the United States, such as by climbing the Wall or destruction of the Wall, etc. the U.S. military is justified to open fire to defend the sovereignty of the nation. Wild force must be met with legal force. The U.S. policy is not influenced by caravans of illegal migrants from anywhere or any foreign forces. Illegal migrants are not entitled to any human right or any right in America. America does not want them.
The U.S. shall limit and restrict immigration to those who are blood relatives of immediate family and those who have good qualifications in education, moral character, without contagious disease, skills and productivity to become good citizens and taxpayers. Political and economic refugees are to be discouraged and disfavored. Fortune seekers from any poor and backward country are not welcome at all. There is nothing more absurd and ridiculous than the United States, the sole superpower, cannot stop the invasion of illegal migrants to enter the United States. America engages in wars all over the world to conquer nations and peoples. America cannot protect its borders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
America does not know how to deal with violent and unwanted and illegal migrants invading the United States. Those useless, worthless economic opportunists do not deserve any humanitarian aid. Chase them away!!!!!
BAN OF FIREARMS OR GUNS
The U.S. Constitution bans civilian possession, ownership and use of firearms or guns of any type. America declares to outlaw National Riffle Association, KKK, and any similar militant and radical white or black supremacy groups or entities. Only the police and military are armed to protect American lives and properties and the country. America is poor at the present and therefore cannot afford to buy back all the guns possessed and owned by civilians. However, the government mandates all guns to be handed over to designated places such as police departments of each city to be destroyed. For possession of illegal gun or guns is a crime by itself. Anyone who uses gun to kill a person is automatically sentenced to death penalty without appeal. Manufacturing and sale of gun or guns are considered a crime. There are only a few companies may be licensed to manufacture guns for police and the military. The transport of any gun is in itself considered a federal crime.
HOME AND FOREIGN TERRORISTS
The U.S. considers all types of terrorists as national public enemies number one, they maybe shot OR killed on sight at the scene, there shall be no due process of law for the public enemies number one. All family members of terrorists shall be deported and all their assets seized for the U.S. Treasury. Any nation, religion or institution that supports terrorism and terrorists shall be banned. The U.S. government uses all its military might and other means to eliminate and destroy the Islamic State.
When America is being attacked like 9-11, or by a foreign aggressor in a war or not, the president has full power to defend America and destroy any foreign attacker without national referendum or Congressional approval.
When there is a riot in America, such as Los Angeles Black riots, Capital Building riots, etc., the American president has full power to act to quell the riots and punish the rioters according to the law without approval of Congress or national referendum.
AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND DISCRIMINATION
The U.S. Constitution annuls Affirmative Action, along with its conception and practice, so that there is no more racial discrimination in America. No race or group is entitled to preferential treatment of any form. All Americans (citizens and residents) are equal under the law with equal opportunity for all. However, there are certain national security jobs which disqualify American residents. America does not practice racial discrimination in anyway.
The Affirmative Action and related laws and practices that favor any racial group or individual shall be abolished so that all races are treated equally under the law and fairly whether in employment, housing, promotion, retirement, admission to university; and pension benefits, etc. All universities shall admit students on account of good grades, good character, without regard to sex, color, religion or race. The universities are required to provide full scholarship or fellowship to poor but worthy and brilliant students.
REBUILDING OF AMERICA
Rebuilding of America, not only requires money, materials and manpower; it also requires a change of culture and customs and values. To rebuild America, the U.S. Constitution adopts Protestant Ethic in hard work, discipline, frugality, and moral responsibility to be the norm of American society. However, no one is forced to become a Protestant. There is absolutely religious freedom in America.
The federal government shall focus intensely on rebuilding America in the areas of education, employment, health care, homelessness, infrastructure, public health, social justice, disease control, diplomacy, trade, research and development, science and technology, making no discrimination between domestic and foreign enterprises; protect the environment; take effective measures to counter climate change and global warming; control contamination and pollution of soil, food, drug, water and air; hold American leaders and politicians and officials and corporate executives for their integrity and truth; and make mass media liable and accountable for truth in news and reporting. There is financial penalty for fake news, fake reports, and fake advertising, etc. Charity is commended for its good deeds, not for profit and free tax. Democracy means doing the greatest good to the greatest number of American citizens. Righteousness has replaced might as the modus operandi of of government.
Welfare is abolished and turned into Workfare. Any citizen who receives assistance of any sort, such as food stamp and monthly allowance (a resident is not qualified to receive welfare), must work for it. If a citizen single woman without husband bears a child, the man must be held responsible to support and raise the child. If both the unmarried woman and man cannot support the child, both woman and man shall be sterilized, and the child be made available for adoption.
America shall rebuild its infrastructure as a national priority. The private car way of life is the most wasteful and wrong way of life. Subway, train, and high speed train are the way to go for convenient, economical and speedy transportation.
Burning incense, public barbecue, burning of agricultural byproducts, trash, etc. are prohibited because of causing air pollution. Fireworks and firecrackers may be allowed only on certain dates such as Independence Day, New Year’s Eve, on granted licensed designated certain locations.
Smoking is not allowed anywhere in America, not even in the White House or Pentagon. Violation of smoking is a federal crime. The penalty imposed according to which violation takes place in federal buildings or land, state buildings or land, municipal buildings or business or industry under its jurisdiction. For example, if you violate smoking law in Los Angeles, the City government will collect the penalty fine and administer the federal law. Those who deliberately smoke in airplane, train, subway, bus, elevator, restroom, classroom, shop and store, school, hospital, public facility, etc. shall suffer more severe penalty as the jurisdiction requires.
NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE SCHEME
The US Constitution requires to establish and overhaul the healthcare system so that it becomes affordable, fair, and responsible on a national basis for all American citizens, residents, and government employees.Monopoly of healthcare by doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drugs and insurance companies, labs and medical supplies, etc. are thereby abolished forever.There is only one national health insurance plan, no more private health insurance. All public and private hospitals must follow the new rules and regulations.
The current American healthcare system works because it is the most costly and most expensive and oppressive health and medical and hospital system in the world that most Americans cannot afford and the major cause of bankruptcy in America. Doctors, dentists, hospital owners, labs and medical supplies, drug and insurance companies may freely and overly defraud, overcharge, and fleece the poor and helpless patients as they please with immunity. The American healthcare terrorism is worse and more dangerous than the Islamic terrorism.
Overhaul and regulate healthcare system so that all citizens and residents and government employees are covered at reasonable and affordable cost. The separate healthcare system for federal government employees as benefits is abolished. American residents pay higher premiums for the national healthcare plan than American citizens. For the same coverage, American retired citizens pay premiums lower than ordinary citizens. Office of Management and Budget shall establish, determine, and publish a national health care pricing schedule to specify the price of each treatment, procedure, test, supply, equipment, and medication, etc.
The Federal government shall establish a National Healthcare Scheme that covers every American citizen and resident and public employee at fair, effective and affordable cost. American residents pay higher insurance premiums than American citizens. There is a special program of MEDICARE for American seniors or retirees which is cheaper than the regular National Healthcare Scheme.
When a patient is admitted to the hospital, the doctor in charge and the hospital administrator must sign an affidavit to declare they assume responsibility and shall honestly take care of the patient in every aspect of the medical and hospital service. The welfare of the patient is their moral and legal accountability. All medical decisions whether a test, a procedure, a treatment, a surgery, etc. must be authorized and approved by the patients in advance. The doctor and hospital no longer make decision for the patient. The hospital is not allowed to line up several doctors for the care of one patient just in order to get pay.
All medical treatments must be counted and charged as one unit lump sum, all inclusive. A test or diagnosis procedure is not counted or charged by itself. There is no charge for lab or radiology reports. Medical treatments such as kidney dialysis, chemotherapy, etc. are charged as a unit all inclusive. All medical and hospital costs must be provided to the patients in advance. For example, the lump sum of having a baby delivery is $200, all inclusive. The charge is not allowed to break into different units. The price of pulling a tooth is $50, all inclusive. Appendectomy is $150 all inclusive. Cataract surgery is $135 all inclusive. One tablet of antibiotic is $0.10 per capsule, etc. Doctors, hospital owners, labs, medical supplies, drug and insurance companies that defraud or overcharge patient or Medicare or Medicaid accumulatively over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized for the U.S. Treasury. Corruption of any kind over $1 million will be executed and all assets seized. Remind doctors, dentists, hospital owners, etc. that they work for the federal government if they receive reimbursement for Medicare or Medicaid and there is no more private health insurance. If a doctor or dentist or owner of hospital does not like the American National Health Insurance Plan, they are free to go to other countries.
THE TWO POLITICAL PARTIES
The two political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, have been great disappointment to the Republic, and they do not represent the national interest, only the party interest in serving the special interest like Wall Street, Hollywood, banking, healthcare, insurance, drug companies, gun lobbies, military-industrial-security complex, narrow interests, etc.
The two parties must be reformed to represent the national interest, the value of ballot and election, the integrity of public announcement and news. The American parties cannot lobby for foreign countries, business and industry, special interests, etc. There must be means and measures that the political party can use to dismiss and remove any mad, insane, indecent, dishonest, demagogic, deceptive and immoral member instantly and any time. Repudiation of that scandalous and corrupt political figure and removal from party membership are the standard procedure. The two parties are required to change so that they can be useful in American democracy and serving the interest of the greatest number of American people.
OMBUDSMAN OFFICE
The US Constitution requires to establish a national, state, and city Ombudsman Office to execute and promote justice all over the country. Civil cases that can have two routes, go to court and pay court fee. Go to Ombudsman Office which is free and fast. Civil cases include bribery, corruption, abuse of power, unfair treatment, brutality, sexual harassment, grievances, breach of contract, false advertising, unfair labor practices, broken promise, discrimination, injury, fraud, false accusation, physical abuse, verbal abuse, immoral behavior of official, etc. that does not involve death. The Chief Ombudsman is appointed by the president without hearing for the Nation Ombudsman Office in the federal government. Each governor shall appoint a State Ombudsman without hearing and City Ombudsman with the consent of the mayor. State Ombudsmen and City Ombudsmen report directly to the Chief Ombudsman in Washington, DC. Chief Ombudsman and State Ombudsman may request assistance from the FBI for investigative purposes. Chief Ombudsman, State Ombudsman and City Ombudsman are supported by investigators to handle all cases. All false and facetious complaint cases will be penalized. All false testimony and fake evidence will be financially penalized or imprisonment. For example, a local newspaper falsely accused me of not paying subscription fee and used a collection agency to threaten to ruin my credit although I never subscribed or read the paper. I do not need to hire a lawyer. I can go to the local Ombudsman office to settle the case, and the Ombudsman is a federal administrative judge who is empowered to execute justice and punish and penalize the criminal with financial penalty and/or imprisonment. The penalty fees collected are used to support the office of Ombudsman.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
An American citizen of at least 30 years old, whether born or naturalized, male or female, with moral character, free of contagious disease, without a criminal record may be qualified to be the American president. The qualifications of the vice president are the same.
The President shall lead to downsize and streamline and reorganize the federal departments and agencies across the board by reducing 2/3 (two thirds), including the Defense Department and all operating costs; and reduce or decrease all the wages, salaries, benefits, and pensions of federal employees by 1/3 (one thirds).The federal government shall restructure and reorganize its departments and agencies to become cost effective, lean, and really provide services to the people.All unnecessary activities and functions of the government shall be abolished.
There will be a curb or elimination of building and funding weapons of death or mass destruction, and oversee the demise of military-industrial-security complex. America is overloaded with nuclear and weapons of mass destruction, as well as aircraft carriers, fleets and war ships, bombers, war planes, spy planes, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drones, attack helicopters, tankers, bombs, guns, etc. and military weapon depots.
All former presidents and their families are no longer be provided with secret service protection. There is no budget or subsidy for all former presidential libraries, offices, office staff, renting, travels, free mail privilege, presents, etc. as well as former congressional leaders.
American citizens automatically have legal right to reside in any of the 50 States of the Union including the Washington, D.C. American citizens are free to move in or move out to any State without reporting to any agency or person. American citizens are entitled to have American passports to travel to any country not banned by the federal government. Only American citizens can be employed as federal employees.
The U.S. national policy is to support the State of Israel and its sovereignty and integrity. About four thousand years ago when God gave the Promised Land to Abraham and his descendants, there was Israel, and there was no Palestine or Palestinian. Palestine and Palestinians were the evil geopolitical legacy of the British Empire. The Promised Land belongs to the Jews only. Jerusalem was the capital of King David. The Holy City, the New Jerusalem will be the eternal capital of the King of kings and the Lord of lords in the Kingdom of God. There will always be Israel without Palestinians or Palestine, for the Promised Land belongs only to the Jews. Palestinians are Arabs and not Jewish. Palestinians are advised to seek residency and citizenship in the surrounding Arab nations.
The federal government by all means to discourage and control immorality, violence, corruption, greed, monopoly, irresponsibility, incivility, vulgarity, organized crime, idleness and laziness in general.
The U.S. government shall establish new rules and regulations to oversee and control the financial and banking systems to prevent and bust monopoly, unfair, fraudulent and predatory practices. The new rules and regulations will make the financial or economic crisis like 2008 created by Wall Street executives impossible. Any fraud or predatory practices exceeding $1 million or more will be executed and all assets seized by the Treasury.
The U.S. government promotes free trade, free competition, medical and scientific cooperation, research and development of the world community for public good. The U.S. foreign policy is to seek peace and harmony and cooperation with all nations big and small; discourage all unjust wars and civil wars; encourage civility, industry, productivity, law and order; and target government corruption of any kind or any country. The U.S. shall not participate in arms race. In view of large scale famine and prevalent poverty, population or birth control is encouraged. The United States shall not aid those nations which do not help themselves. When the U.S. gives aid, there will be no strings attached.
All Federal employees including Post Office, FAA, etc. have no right to strike, or to threaten the government. Federal employees are free to resign at anytime. Civil Service must be reformed to enlist only qualified employees with no crime record.
The positions and salaries of White House position and staff must be approved by American Citizens in a national referendum. The executive departments and agencies must also be approved by National Referendum.
America discards the Evil empire and returns to a respectable Republic and thus requires to downsize the Defense Department and all Executive departments and agencies by 2/3 (two thirds), closes all overseas military bases and withdraws all troops, withdraws all American fleets and including aircraft careers, war planes, spy planes, war ships, all military activities, etc. , disbands NATO, annuls all military and political alliances; all vestibules of the evil empire. Reduce wages, salaries, benefits, pensions, etc. of all Federal employees from the president down by 1/3 (one thirds).
Food and Drug Administration must insure all medications and vaccines are SAFE and EFFECTIVE. One Chinese doctor told me if the drug or vaccine is safe for two or three days, they do not mean safe for 2 or 3 years. FDA must have longitudinal studies to insure safety and efficacy of all drugs and vaccines. The drug industries are legally liable for their products and services. In addition to hefty financial penalties, their executives may be sent to jail or even be executed for heinous crimes.
America is interested to participate and observe all international agreements and treaties such as nuclear, climate, environment, disarmament, public health, international trade, etc. but it requires a National Referendum to confirm it. The participation of American government in the United Nations, WTO, WHO, IMF, WORLD BANK, UniversalPostal Union (UPU), ICC, ETC., no longer requires a National Referendum.
The U. S. Government shall not spend more than 75% of its revenue or GDP, the only exception is in time of war. National debt requires approval of American citizens by National Referendum.
AMERICAN LAW CODES
The US Constitution requires to simplify the legal system, law codes, legal processesand by using simple English so that it does not require legal opinion or assistance of lawyers. The legal system is restructured and revised to promote equity, equality, and justice for all. Jury trial is abolished and replaced by three independent judges. The verdict of the majority stands. Facetious and fake lawsuitsshall incur hefty financial penalty and imprisonment may be imposed and disbarment of lawyers for life. Class action lawsuit is abolished. Fake evidence and false and facetious litigation will incur hefty financial penalty or prison depending on the severity of the case. Class action lawsuits and jury trials are abolished. Abolish also Affirmative Action so that there is no racial discrimination; no special treatment or privilege to any group.
All death penalty cases shall be executed without delay. One final appeal may be granted but the appeal cost must be borne by the criminals themselves.
AMERICAN DEFENCE
The Defense Department must not be a war department, therefore the Pentagon must be reduced by 2/3, and its huge facilities may accommodate other federal departments to save rents.
Since America no longer is an empire, therefore it does not threaten or sanction any nation under phony national security pretext. The United States closes all its overseas military bases, withdraws all its troops, aircraft careers, fleets, warships, spy planes, bombers, weapons, etc.
America seeks peace and justice, and copied President Richard Nixon to seek a just and lasting peace for the world. Therefore America no longer considers Russia and China as threats, and is willing to work with Russia and China for peace, progress, and prosperity. America is concerned not only the security of America, but also world security.
STATE DEPARTMENT
The State Department carries out and practices diplomacy of good neighbors, friendliness, harmony and respect. America abandons regime change of any country. America respects all nations, big and small, to choose its own system of government, form of economy, and independent foreign policy. If America assists a nation it is because of goodness and with no strings attached. America actually abandons sanction, tariff as a political and economic threat, boycott, military intervention, and all hostile gestures.
The consulates of the State Department shall not engage in subversive, intelligence gathering, and spy activities; but earnestly promote trade, cultural exchange, technological cooperation, etc. to benefit mankind.
NATIONAL EDUCATION
Department of Education is to launch a program from kindergarten to university on moral and civic education; in addition to regular academic programs.
America does not want the indulgence such as Denmark debuts new children’s TV show about a man with a huge and uncontrollable penis or Capitol riots, etc. Hollywood produces too many violent and sexual implicit movies which offend national values. America wants to express the old values of morality, honesty, frugality, productivity, responsibility, and civility.
If a magazine or Internet company involves in pornography and dissemination of nude pictures of women and children deemed harmful and detrimental to moral values by the Supreme Court, the magazine or Internet company may be penalized $10 million dollars per occurrence. If the same magazine or Internet company commits the same crime three times, in addition to financial penalty, its executive may be sent to jail.
Enough is Hollywood that produces pornography, sexual implicit movies and too many violent movies which are diametrically opposed to the national values. Although America practices free enterprise, but all harmful and undesirable enterprises shall be penalized financially and its executives may be sent to jail. If Hollywood or any enterprise produces a film or movie deemed harmful morally and culturally by the US Supreme Court, that company that produces such film or movie may be penalized for $10 million dollars. If the same company continuously produces harmful and detrimental movies 3 times, the executive may be sent to jail in addition to financial penalty.
America does not censor any ideology or religion except when it threatens national security, downgrades national morality, misleads the young, violates human decency.
THE U.S. SUPREME COURT
Although the US Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the President, they are not appointed for live. After 6 years they must be approved by the American citizens through NATIONAL REFERENDUM before they can stay for life.
The Chief Justice with consent of three associate justices may arrest a president who exhibits irresponsible, incoherent, immoral, irrational, or dangerous behavior. After that, a NATIONAL REFERENDUM shall determine the fate of the president without the long process of impeachment.
The U.S. Supreme Court shall interpret the U.S. Constitution and act as the arbiter of justice in the land, and resolve conflict between state and federal government, and among states, and conflicts between the Unite States and foreign countries. The U.S. Supreme Court shall not make laws.
The Chief Justice and associate justices may independently as a group evaluate and criticize publiclyany questionable, immoral, irresponsible, selfish, and untruthful word or deed of any official or political party without hearing or trial and without force of the law; but having the prestige of moral authority and influence. Any national official who has been criticized or censored by the US Supreme Court is a prime candidate to be removed by a National Referendum.
THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS
For the sake of efficiency and economy, simplicity and effectiveness, the US Congress is changed and reformed to become a unicameral body of legislation with representation from each state shall be called Senators. All house representatives are abolished along with all its positions, and the title Congressman is used no more. Each state of the Union no matter how small is the population is entitled to have one Senator, one more Senator for each additional 5 million citizens. If a state has registered 20 million citizens, it will have 4 Senators. The Vice President is automatically the Senate President (without voting right, except in a national referendum), and also there are only Majority Leader and Minority Leader. There are no more committee positions. Every Senator has equal right and duty. For any national legislation, it requires 51% of the votes to pass. Pork-barrel proposals or legislation are prohibitive. The Congress represented by Senators must focus on only the national interest which benefits the greatest number of American citizens. Any lobby on behalf of any foreign country, domestic or foreign business or industry, organization, institution is prohibitive.
An American Senator must be at least 24 years old, whether born or naturalized citizen, male for female, must have moral character, and without a criminal record. The salaries of Senators, and its increase or decrease must also be approved by National Referendum. All Senators are required to retire at 60, for the next 20 years they are not allowed to lobby for any foreign country, domestic and foreign enterprise, institutions or individuals. The U.S. Senators shall seek only the national interest, not special interest or private interest, or foreign interest.
The Congress has no legal right to make legislation involving other countries, such as the U.S.-Taiwan Relations Act is void and illegal. Any member of the Congress must not slander and smear any foreign country which is none of his/her business. The Congress shall focus only on national interest and make laws which benefit the greatest number of American citizens. The U.S. shall return Taiwan to China with sincere apology.
Isa 1:4, “Alas, sinful nation, People weighed down with iniquity, Offspring of evildoers, Sons who act corruptly! They have abandoned the LORD, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have turned away from Him.”
Note: America has been a sinful nation from its inception. Americans with the values of money, power, and sex are weighed down with iniquity, offspring of evildoers in particular since the end of World War II, sons who acts corruptly. The leaders and politicians have abandoned the Lord, they have despised the Holy One of Israel, they have turned away from Him. American president had promoted and the U.S. Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage and homosexuality. The Supreme Court has rejected Bible reading and prayer in schools.
American cultures and the values of money, power, and sex have to be changed. The American values of money, power, and sex are demonstrated and exhibited by the trinity of Washington, Wall Street, and Hollywood. Washington represents hunger and drive for world power. Wall Street represents hunger and drive for greed and money. Hollywood represents hunger and greed for sex, immorality, and violence. Hollywood produces too many sex and violence movies which poison the hearts and minds from childhood to adulthood. If America continues with the values of money, power, and sex; that is the path of destruction. Aggressive culture produces aggressive and violent nation. America needs to adopt the Christian values of faith, hope, and love.
Jer 7:28, “You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the LORDtheir God or accept correction; truth has perishedand has been cut off from their mouth.”
Jer 12:17, “But if they will not listen, then I will uproot that nation,uproot and destroy it,” declares the LORD.”
Jer 18:8-9, “if that nation against which I have spoken turns from its evil,I will relent concerning the calamity I planned to bring on it. Or at another moment I might speak concerning a nation or concerning a kingdom to build up or to plant it;”
Isa 2:4, “And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they willhammer their swords into plowsharesand theirspears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, and never again will they learn war.”
Act 10:35, “but in every nation the man whofears Himanddoes what is rightis welcome to Him.”
Pro 14:34, ”Righteousness exalts a nation, But sin is a disgrace to any people.”
Unless America chooses to be a righteous nation, it will perish. Only righteousness can exalt America, not its superior military power, economic monopoly, political domination, etc.
I am looking back nostalgically on the golden era of America under President Richard Nixon. Then the nation was strong, stable, and respectable by friends and foes alike. The country was hopeful and stable and dependable. There was law and order. The society was calm, safe and decent; not too many crimes. Even the politicians of the two parties were respectable. The economy was good, and the dollar was strong and valuable. I was a poor struggling student with the American dream. Learnodo Newtonic lists 10 Major Accomplishments of PRESIDENT Richard Nixon as follows; I believe there could be more:
#1 He served in the US Naval Reserve during World War II
#2 He was the second youngest Vice President in American history
#3 Richard Nixon served as the 37th President of the United States
#4 He initiated an era of improved relations with China
#5 He helped reduce tensions between U.S. and the Soviet Union
#6 President Nixon ended U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War
#7 He initiated the drive for achieving self sufficiency in energy
#8 He enforced several groundbreaking environmental measures
#9 Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agency
#10 He made significant contribution to fight drugs and cancer
The America I used to know is not the America today.
If there were National Referendum as I have proposed, I am sure more than 51% of American citizens would reject the measure to remove him.
IN CONCLUSION
American President, Vice President, Senators, House Representatives, State Governors, American high ranking officials today, civilian and military, it is your duty and responsibility to save America. As an American, I have done what I have done, no more. I am not a paid worker. I am not in a position or power to do anything. You are paid to do your job.
First, you can stand up and voice against American Empire, and insist to return to the American Republic. And so discard all policies, programs, and objectives of the evil American Empire, and change and reform the Republic.
Second, you must stand up and voice and vote for the sovereignty of American citizens to be stipulated in the U.S. Constitution. American citizens are the real masters and supreme decision makers of the U.S. Republic. 51% of American citizens in a national referendum can decide and determine any important issue or matter, including instantly to remove any dangerous or unworthy leader.
No matter how good the Constitution or system of government it may be, it still needs good leaders and good people to carry out the mission so that the mission can be accomplished. If China had one leader in the person of Deng Xiaoping to turn a backward and poor country to advance to the World’s Number Two economy in less than 40 years, why can’t the United States being the Number One World Economy to save itself and rebuild the nation in the shortest time possible? As an American, I have done what I have done. Let us watch the historyunfolding. The sun does not stand still and the moon does not stop, what must be done for America must be done quickly. Will any one speak for the welfare of the whole nation? I hope our nation will have respect for the old, and show favor to the young.
Finally, I have proposed what I have proposed to American people and to those in power to save America at once. It is expected those in power must act accordingly. This proposal becomes a point of reference for the purpose of comparison. The eyes of the world are on America, on Washington, D.C. I am not going to say whether I am optimistic or pessimistic about America’s future. God is my witness. God will be the Judge. I shall watch closely how history is unfolding right before our eyes.
American citizens wake up and rise up to save America before it is too late. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first step of change is correct perception. The second step of change is the right action.
This is do or die moment for America.
May God have mercy on America!
PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington. The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.
The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all. Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.
They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, andthat the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish landand relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news,counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.
Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.
ARE DEPORTATION EFFORTS HURTING THE ECONOMY? WRONG QUESTION. RIGHT QUESTION: ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS HURTING AMERICA? Most of illegal aliens are on welfare, there are 45 million unlawful migrants already residing in America, including their children born in America who are not citizens. America needs to deport illegal aliens without further delay. To warn Mexico not to be an unlawful door for unlawful migrants to invade America, America needs to drop a few bombs on Mexico City to DETER them.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.

*Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We only want you to know the truth.
BY WILLIE WONG
This article is written to let you know the Words of Jesus are the Words of God. Heaven and earth will pass away, the Words of Jesus will never pass away.
Mat 24:35,“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”
Note: Pass away in Greek is parerchomaiwhich means which means to pass by; to pass over; to go away; to go past; to perish; to be carried past; to come aside; to avert; to neglect; to end; to come to nothing; to go out of existence; – which occurs 46 times in the New Testament. The human knowledge or so-called science is only good for existence on earth. For example, medicine however inaccurate is useful in the world, for that reasons corrupt and crooked doctors in America hold patients hostage and overcharge and defraud them as much as they please with immunity. I want you to know medicine will be no use in Heaven or Hell. There will be no sick people in Heaven, so medicine will be useless. Medical knowledge will pass away. Medicine will not help in Hell, for people in Hell will suffer for eternity, medicine is useless to them where ’THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.’ Even doctors cannot help themselves there. Why am I so stupid to study the works and words of mortal theologians, philosophers, scholars, scientists — whose works and words will pass away any way.
The most pitiful are those who follow the false teacher John Calvin who believed God predestined them to go to Hell. Why would I spend my whole life to study Karl Barth to conclude his teachings and works are false and contrary to the Holy Bible? Who cares about his reappropriation of the Christology? I wrote a Textbook on Christology based on the Scriptures and it was cataloged in the Library of Congress. There is no such a thing called social righteousness, only the righteousness of God who justifies sinners on the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ. There is no Reformed Theology, only Biblical Theology. It is enough when Barth said the Bible is not the Word of God, but contains the Word of God. By this I already know he is a false teacher. A servant of Christ should not be ‘ tossedhere and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming.’ or tossed about by the wind of theology. The word of man does not matter.
2Pe 3:7, “But by His Word the present Heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men.”
Note: By the Word of God the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the Day of Judgment and destruction of ungodly men. 2Pe 3:10, “But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the Heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.”
Note: It is most likely nuclear fire which creates intense heat that will melt the elements and burn up all the works on the earth including 2010 skyscraper in Dubai (Burj Khalifa), Tokyo Skytree, Shanghai Tower, and New York City’s One World Trade Center, etc.
2Pe 3:13, “But according to His promise we are looking for NEWHeavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
Note: Wonderful is God’s promise to create new Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells. I am sure the New Earth includes the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
I do not have a supercomputer to sort out the Words of Jesus from the New Testament, it is all done manually. The list is not exhaustive, but it is comprehensive. I am aware of almost all the problems involved in this project. But I lay the Words of Jesus counted in verses before you without any comment when unnecessary. Let us pay attention to Jesus WHO speaks for Himself. The Words of Jesus are the Sayings of Jesus. The Words of Jesus are the Words of God. We should memorize the Words of Jesus and keep them in our hearts. When Jesus speaks, God speaks. It does not require any man to make comment or interpretation. It is wise to read in full context under what situation Jesus speaks and to whom He speaks. For example, Jesus never said “ladies and gentlemen.” Jhn 7:46, “Never has a man spoken the way this Man speaks.” If you master and memorize the Words of Jesus in your heart and mind, it will be well with you.
JESUS’ WORDS ARE TRUE.
JESUS’ WORDS HAVE POWER.
JESUS’ WORDS HAVE LIFE.
JESUS’ WORDS MATTER.
JESUS’ WORDS ARE ETERNAL.
The following are the Words of Jesus Christ in 1,618 verses:
It is not enough that you MASTER and MEMORIZE the Words of Jesus. For example, “Follow Me.” You have to memorize “Mar 2:14,“Follow Me!” It is up to your ability and determination how many verses you are able to memorize in a day and to be added in a year. If you memorize 5 Verses of Jesus’ Words a day, you can finish in less than a year.
1. Mat 4:4,“It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’”
2. Mat 4:7,“On the other hand, it is written, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
3. Mat 4:10, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
4. Mat 4:17,“Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
5. Mat 4:19,“Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
6. Mat 5:3,“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Note: Poor in spirit means a humble spirit, like the tax collector (Luk 18:13).
7. Mat 5:4,“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
8. Mat 5:5,“Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.”
9. Mat 5:6,“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.”
10. Mat 5:7,“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”
11. Mat 5:8,“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
12. Mat 5:9,“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
13. Mat 5:10,“Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.”
14. Mat 5:11,“Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.”
15. Mat 5:12,“Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in Heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
16. Mat 5:13,“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.”
Note: Jesus declares Christians are the salt of the earth.
17. Mat 5:14, “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden;”
Note: Christians are the light of the world.
18. Mat 5:15, “nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.”
19. Mat 5:16,“Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in Heaven.”
Note: The good works of Christians glorify God.
20. Mat 5:17,“Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.”
21. Mat 5:18,“For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.”
22. Mat 5:19,“Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.”
Note: The cults use this verse to confuse Christians and demand them to observe the Law of Moses in keeping circumcision and the Sabbath. The Sabbath was made for the Jews and circumcision was a covenant between God and the descendants of Abraham. Act 15:5, “But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, “It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses. “ Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, Christians are under the grace. Col 2:16-17,“Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.” Rom 2:29, “But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.” 1Co 7:19,“Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.” Gal 4:9-11, “But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe days and months and seasons and years. I fear for you, that perhaps I have labored over you in vain.” Phl 3:3, “for we are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh.” Remember, the Jewish Sabbath is not replaced by Sunday.
23. Mat 5:20,“For I say to you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
24. Mat 6:28,“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin.”
26. Mat 8:20, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
27. Mat 8:22, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.” Note: Sinners are spiritually dead, so the dead can bury their own dead.
28. Mat 9:28, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
Note: Believe in Jesus Christ is to believe that He is able to save you and more.
29. Mat 11:25, “I praise You, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.”
30. Mat 11:29, “Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS.”
31.Mat 12:5, “Or have you not read in the Law, that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple break the Sabbath and are innocent?”
32. Mat 12:8, “For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Note: The Son of Man is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
33. Mat 12:11, “What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?”
34. Mat 12:12,“How much more valuable then is a man than a sheep! So then, it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.”
35. Mat 12:25, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and any city or house divided against itself will not stand.”
36. Mat 15:16, “Are you still lacking in understanding also?”
37. Mat 15:28,“O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you wish.”
38. Mat 16:6, “Watch out and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”
Note: Beware in Greek is prosechōwhich means to give heed to; to take heed to; to take heed; to turn the mind to; to be attentive; to give attention to; to devote thought and effort to; to be cautious about; to guard oneself; – which occurs 34 times in the New Testament. Leaven in Greek is zymēwhich means mental and moral corruption, viewed in its tendency to infect others (Strong’s Concordance); a perniciousinfluence; even a few false teachers lead the whole church into error; – which occurs 13 times in the New Testament.
39. Mat 16:17, “Blessed are you, Simon Barjona, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven.”
Note: No one can know God by any means, flesh and blood cannot find God. God reveals Himself through Jesus Christ. So Christianity is the revealed religion.
40. Mat 16:24, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
Note: Deny oneself in Greek isaparneomaiwhich means to forget oneself; to lose sight of oneself and one’s interest; to disown; to abstain; – which occurs 11 times in the New Testament. Christian discipleship is just the opposite how American politicians seek power by all means. Even if there are no votes, you got to find votes. American leaders and politicians all benefit financially by their participation in government and politics. The fastest way to become rich is to become the president of the United States. All high ranking officials also get rich. To deny oneself is to disown oneself; to take up the cross is to suffer. So to follow Jesus Christ one has to deny himself and take up his cross to suffer for Christ.
41. Mat 19:14, “Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.”
Note: It does not mean all children go to Heaven. I believe aborted infants go to Heaven. Accursed children are children of the devil do not go to Heaven. Christians must have the simplicity of faith like children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. You cannot enter the Kingdom of Heaven as President, Prime Minister, King, Queen, Cabinet Minister, Professor, Prince, Princess, etc. But you may enter as prostitute, pimp, pygmy, peasant, etc.
42. Mat 19:18, “YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER; YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY; YOU SHALL NOT STEAL; YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;”
Note: These are commandments that God does not want you to do. They are prohibitive.
43. Mat 19:21, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”
Note: People of the world have treasure on earth, Christians have treasure in Heaven.
44. Mat 19:23, “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.”
45. Mat 19:24,“Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
46. Mat 19:26, “With people this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Note: With God all things are possible so do not think or act God has problems. Unlike man, God does not have problems. What is impossible with man, it is possible with God.
47. Mat 19:28, “Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”
Note: The time is coming when Jesus Christ will sit on His glorious throne, and His twelve Apostles shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
48. Mat 19:30,“But many who are first will be last; and the last, first.”
49. Mat 20:1, “For the Kingdom of Heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire laborers for his vineyard.”
50. Mat 20:4, “‘You also go into the vineyard, and whatever is right I will give you.’
51. Mat 20:6,“ ‘Why have you been standing here idle all day long?’
53. Mat 20:13,“ ‘Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?”
54. Mat 20:14, ‘Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.”
55. Mat 20:15,‘Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?’
56. Mat 20:16, “So the last shall be first, and the first last.”
57. Mat 20:18, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem; and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and scribes, and they will condemn Him to death,”
58. Mat 20:19, “and will hand Him over to the Gentiles to mock and scourge and crucify Him, and on the third day He will be raised up.”
59. Mat 20:22, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”
60. Mat 20:23, “My cup you shall drink; but to sit on My right and on My left, this is not Mine to give, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by My Father.”
61. Mat 20:25, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.”
62. Mat 20:26, “It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,”
63. Mat 20:27, “and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be your slave;”
64. Mat 20:28,“just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
65. Mat 20:32, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
66. Mat 21:2, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.”
67. Mat 21:3,“If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
68. Mat 21:13,“It is written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER’; but you are making it a ROBBERS’ DEN.”
69. Mat 21:16, “Yes; have you never read, ‘OUT OF THE MOUTH OF INFANTS AND NURSING BABIESYOU HAVE PREPARED PRAISE FOR YOURSELF’?”
70. Mat 21:19, “No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you.”
71. Mat 21:21,“Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it will happen.”
72. Mat 21:22,“And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.”
73. Mat 21:25, “The baptism of John was from what source, from Heaven or from men?”
74. Mat 21:28, “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, Son, go work today in the vineyard.’
75. Mat 21:31, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you.
Note: If tax collectors and prostitutes truly believe and repent, they will get into the Kingdom of God before the self-righteous people.
76. Mat 21:42, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES‘?”
77. Mat 21:43, “Therefore I say to you, the Kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.”
78. Mat 21:44, “And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust.”
79. Mat 23:3, “Therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.”
80. Mat 22:2, “The Kingdom of Heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son.”
81. Mat 22:3,“And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.”
82. Mat 22:4, “Again he sent out other slaves saying, ‘Tell those who have been invited, “Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast.”’
83. Mat 22:13, “Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, and throw him into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
84. Mat 22:14,“For many are called, but few are chosen.”
85. Mat 22:18, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?”
86. Mat 22:19,“Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax.”
87. Mat 22:20,“Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
88. Mat 22:21, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: Jesus Christ divides the things of Caesar and the things of God. Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s. America is not a Christian nation, it is bad that its leaders and politicians pretend to be Christians.
89. Mat 22:29, “You are mistaken, not understanding the Scriptures nor the power of God.”
Note: The truth is clear: People are mistaken for either/or/or both reasons: they do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. Scientists and philosophers err because they do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.
90. Mat 22:30, “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Note: The children of God in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but they are like angels in Heaven. I believe also the children of the devil in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but suffer eternally in Hell.
91. Mat 22:31,“But regarding the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God:”
92. Mat 22:32,‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THE GOD OF JACOB’? He is not the God of the dead but of the living.”
93. Mat 22:37, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOURGOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
94. Mat 22:38, “This is the great and foremost commandment.”
95. Mat 22:39,“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’
96. Mat 22:40,“On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
97. Mat 22:42,“What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?”
98. Mat 22:43,“Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying,”
99. Mat 22:44, ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET”’?
100. Mat 22:45,“If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”
101. Mat 23:2,saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses;”
102. Mat 23:3,“therefore all that they tell you, do and observe, but do not do according to their deeds; for they say things and do not do them.”
103. Mat 23:4,“They tie up heavy burdens and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are unwilling to move them with so much as a finger.”
104. Mat 23:5,“But they do all their deeds to be noticed by men; for they broaden their phylacteries and lengthen the tassels of their garments.”
105. Mat 23:6,“They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues,”
106. Mat 23:7, “and respectful greetings in the market places, and being called Rabbi by men.”
107. Mat 23:8,“But do not be called Rabbi; for One is your Teacher, and you are all brothers.”
108. Mat 23:9, “Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in Heaven.”
109. Mat 23:10, “Do not be called leaders; for One is your Leader, that is, Christ.”
110. Mat 23:11,“But the greatest among you shall be your servant.”
111. Mat 23:12,“Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”
112. Mat 23:13,“But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the Kingdom of Heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.”
113. Mat 23:14,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense you make long prayers; therefore you will receive greater condemnation.”
114. Mat 23:15,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of Hell as yourselves.”
115. Mat 23:16, “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, that is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple is obligated.’
116. Mat 23:17, “You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?”
117. Mat 23:19, “You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?”
118. Mat 23:20,“Therefore, whoever swears by the altar, swears both by the altar and by everything on it.”
119. Mat 23:21,“And whoever swears by the temple, swears both by the temple and by Him who dwells within it.”
120. Mat 23:22, “And whoever swears by Heaven, swears both by the throne of God and by Him who sits upon it.”
121. Mat 23:23,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.”
122. Mat 23:24,“You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!”
123. Mat 23:25,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence.”
124. Mat 23:26,“You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.”
125. Mat 23:27,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.”
126. Mat 23:28,“So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.”
Note: A hypocrite is one who outwardly appears righteous to men, but inwardly he is full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
127. Mat 23:29,“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,”
128. Mat 23:31,“So you testify against yourselves, that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets.”
129. Mat 23:32,“Fill up, then, the measure of the guilt of your fathers.”
130. Mat 23:33,“You serpents, you brood of vipers, how will you escape the sentence of Hell?”
Note: Who says Jesus Christ speaks kindly to the wicked? Jesus calls scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, serpents and brood of vipers! How will they escape the sentence of Hell? Those American presidents and politicians who claimed to be Christians and yet they lied, killed, and robbed many nations and peoples, how will they escape the sentence of Hell?
131. Mat 23:34,“Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city,”
132. Mat 23:35, “so that upon you may fall the guilt of all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar.”
133. Mat 23:36,“Truly I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.”
134. Mat 23:37, “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.”
135. Mat 23:38,“Behold, your house is being left to you desolate!”
136. Mat 23:39,“For I say to you, from now on you will not see Me until you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!’”
137. Mat 24:2,“Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down.”
138. Mat 24:4,“See to it that no one misleads you.”
139. Mat 24:5,“For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will mislead many.”
140. Mat 24:6,“You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.”
141. Mat 24:7,“For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in many places there will be famines and earthquakes.”
“World War II was the last war fought in which the President asked Congress for a declaration of war. Since then, United States armed forces have been in combat several times, including the following:
U.S. troops form part of a multinational peacekeeping force to help the fragile Lebanese government maintain power in the politically volatile country. In 1983 241 U.S. Marines and 60 French soldiers are killed by a truck bomb. The multinational force withdraws in 1984.
1983 Grenada
U.S. President Ronald Reagan invades the Caribbean island nation of Grenada to overthrow its socialist government, which has close ties with Cuba. A U.S. peace-keeping force remains until 1985.
1989 Panama
U.S. President George H. W. Bush invades Panama and overthrows Panamanian dictator and drug-smuggler Manuel Noriega. Noriega is later tried and convicted on a number of charges, and is imprisoned in the United States.
1991 Gulf War (Kuwait and Iraq)
Iraq invades the country of Kuwait. The Gulf War begins and ends swiftly when a U.S.-led multinational force comes to Kuwait’s aid and expels dictator Saddam Hussein’s forces.
1993 Somalia
A U.S.-led multinational force attempts to restore order to war-torn Somalia so that food can be delivered and distributed within the famine-stricken country.
1994 Haiti
After Haiti’s democratically elected president Jean-Bertrand Aristide is ousted in a coup in 1991, a U.S. invasion three years later restores him to power.
1994-1995 Bosnia
During the Bosnian civil war, which begins shortly after the country declares independence in 1992, the U.S. launches air strikes on Bosnia to prevent ethnic cleansing. It becomes a part of NATO’s peacekeeping force in the region.
The Taliban government harbored Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda terrorist group, responsible for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. After Afghanistan refused to turn over Bin Laden, the U.S. and UN coalition forces invaded. The Taliban government was ousted and many terrorist camps in Afghanistan were destroyed. Thereafter, the Taliban begin regrouping. By 2005, the Taliban and coalition troops are it was engaged in ongoing clashes with coalition troops. The year 2006 was the deadliest year for U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan since 2001. On May 2, 2011 (May 1 in the U.S.), U.S. troops and CIA operatives shot and killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. May 1, 2012, President Obama and President Karzai signed the Enduring Strategic Partnership Agreement between the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the United States of America. The Agreement provides for the possibility of U.S. forces in Afghanistan after 2014, for the purposes of training Afghan Forces and targeting the remnants of al-Qaeda. Afghanistan will be a Major Non-NATO Ally and as such, the U.S. will support the training, equipping, advising and sustaining of Afghan National Security Forces, and social and economic assistance.Despite plans to withdraw troops from Afghanistan, ongoing instability (and continued U.S. interest in the region) has led to the U.S. remaining heavily involved. There is still no clear end in sight, as the Taliban has resumed offensive operations as of March 2020.
2003-2010 Iraq War
The U.S. and Great Britain invade Iraq and topple the government of dictator Saddam Hussein. The U.S. engagement in Iraq continues for the next several years amid that country’s escalating violence and fragile political stability. On Aug. 31, 2010, President Obama announces the end of U.S. combat missions in Iraq. Effective September 1, 2010, the military operations in Iraq acquired a new official designation: “Operation New Dawn”: the U.S. is still committed to providing support to Iraq for further development in the areas of defense and security; education and culture; energy; human rights; services; and trade.
2011 Libya
In early 2011, a coalition of nineteen states began intervening in the civil infighting in Libya. By March, NATO officially took control of the situation, and assisted rebel forces against the government of Muammar Gaddafi. The intervention lasted until November, when fighting dropped off following Gaddafi’s death.
2012-2019 War with ISIL
In 2012 militants in Iraq and Syria declared a new caliphate and rapidly seized a large territory. They began a widespread propaganda campaign to cultivate domestic terrorism in other countries and to recruit new members. The United States and other NATO allies began a long campaign to contain and reverse the spread of ISIL.By 2018, ISIL no longer held any territory in Iraq, and severely declined in Syria. The United States continued airstrikes against the Assad regime as well as against the remaining ISIL holdouts. These airstrikes, by March 2019, contributed to ISIL losing all of its remaining territory. In October 2019 a US airstrike caused the death of ISIL leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
2017-Present Syria
After several years of launching airstrikes in Syria against ISIL, the United States pivoted to launching airstrikes against the Assad regime and its regional allies. The hostilities”
142. Mat 24:8,“But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.”
143. Mat 24:9,“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name.”
144. Mat 24:10,“At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another.”
145. Mat 24:11,“Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.”
146. Mat 24:12,“Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold.”
147. Mat 24:13,“But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
148. Mat 24:14,“This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”
149. Mat 24:15,“Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand),”
Note: The Abomination of Desolation is another name for the Anti-christ.
150. Mat 24:16, “then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.”
151. Mat 24:17,“Whoever is on the housetop must not go down to get the things out that are in his house.”
152. Mat 24:18,“Whoever is in the field must not turn back to get his cloak.”
153. Mat 24:19,“But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”
154. Mat 24:20,“But pray that your flight will not be in the winter, or on a Sabbath.”
155. Mat 24:21,“For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not occurred since the beginning of the world until now, nor ever will.”
156. Mat 24:22,“Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short.”
Note: The elect are children of God.
157. Mat 24:23, “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or There He is,’ do not believe him.”
158. Mat 24:24,“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.”
159. Mat 24:25,“Behold, I have told you in advance.”
160. Mat 24:26,“So if they say to you, ‘Behold, He is in the wilderness,’ do not go out, or, ‘Behold, He is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe them.”
161. Mat 24:27,“For just as the lightning comes from the east and flashes even to the west, so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
162. Mat 24:28,“Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.” 163. Mat 24:29,“But immediately after the tribulation of those days THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED, AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT, AND THE STARS WILL FALL from the sky, and the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.”
164.Mat 24:30, “And then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in the sky, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the SON OF MAN COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF THE SKY with power and great glory.”
165. Mat 24:31,“And He will send forth His angels with A GREAT TRUMPET and THEY WILL GATHER TOGETHER His elect from the four winds, from one end of the sky to the other.”
166. Mat 24:32,“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near;”
167. Mat 24:33, “so, you too, when you see all these things, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”
168. Mat 24:34,“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
The Roman army numbered 30,000; while the Jewish army numbered 24,000. According to Tacitus they were 600,000 visitors crowding the streets of Jerusalem for the Passover. After five months the walls were battered down, the great Temple was burned down, and the city was left ruined and desolate, except for Herod’s three great towers at the northwest corner of the city. These served as a memorial of the massive strength of Jerusalem’s fortifications which Titus of Rome had brought to rubble.”The destruction of Jerusalem took place long ago. Do not confuse the destruction of Jerusalem with the second coming of Christ which has not yet taken place.
169. Mat 24:35,“Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
170. Mat 24:36,“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
Note: Jesus spoke this of His second coming while He was on earth before He was exalted. When Jesus rose from the dead, near the moment of His ascension He said, Mat 28:18, “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.” By this I believe Jesus already knows that day and hour of His second coming. In the last book of Revelation, Rev 22:20, the last written Word of Jesus, “He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming quickly.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.”
171. Mat 24:37,“For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.”
172. Mat 24:38,“For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking,marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark,”
173. Mat 24:39,and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son of Man be.”
174. Mat 24:40, “Then there will be two men in the field; one will be taken and one will be left.”
175. Mat 24:41,“Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken and one will be left.”
Note: This cannot be interpreted that half of the population will be saved.
176. Mat 24:42,“Therefore be on the alert, for you do notknow which day your Lord is coming.”
177. Mat 24:43,“But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.”
178. Mat 24:44,“For this reason you also must be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not think He will.”
179. Mat 24:45,“Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time?”
180. Mat 24:46,“Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.”
181. Mat 24:47,“Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
182. Mat 24:48,“But if that evil slave says in his heart, ‘My master is not coming for a long time,’”
183. Mat 24:49, “and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eat and drink with drunkards;”
184. Mat 24:50, “the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour which he does not know,”
185. Mat 24:51, “and will cut him in pieces and assign him a place with the hypocrites; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
186. Mat 25:1,“Then the Kingdom of Heaven will be comparable to ten virgins, who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.”
187. Mat 25:2,“Five of them were foolish, and five were prudent.”
Note: You must not interpret half of the people are foolish and half are prudent.
188. Mat 25:3,“For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them,”
Note: Lamps without oil are useless. Faith without repentance is useless. To have a Christian in name without the Holy Spirit is useless.
189. Mat 25:4, “but the prudent took oil in flasks along with their lamps.”
Note: The prudent does what the prudent does. The prudent does what is necessary.
190. Mat 25:5,“Now while the bridegroom was delaying, they all got drowsy and began to sleep.”
Note: The weakness of the flesh to get drowsy and begin to sleep. To sleep is not to know what is happening.
191. Mat 25:6,“But at midnight there was a shout, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’”
192. Mat 25:7,“Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps.”
Note: Christians must be alert all the time; trim your lamp white the world is dark, the night is far spent.
193. Mat 25:8,“The foolish said to the prudent, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’
Note: The foolish is always unprepared and irresponsible. They are the ones who ask for charity.
194. Mat 25:9,“But the prudent answered, ‘No, there will not be enough for us and you too; go instead to the dealers and buy some for yourselves.’”
Note: Do not give is what is not enough for you to others. That is not charity but stupidity. You cannot give away what you need to others.
195. Mat 25:10, “And while they were going away to make the purchase, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding feast; and the door was shut.”
Note: What you must do, you must do when there is time. You must be ready all the time. Or the door will be shut to you.
196. Mat 25:11,“Later the other virgins also came, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open up for us.’”
Note: When the door is shut, there is no open us. Get saved while you can, before it is too late.
197. Mat 25:12,“But he answered, ‘Truly I say to you, I do not know you.’”
Note: The day is coming when the supremacists, imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, monopolists, hegemonists, militarists, terrorists, oppressors, dictators, suppressors, warmongers, aggressors, who claims to be Christians will cry out, Lord, Lord, open up for us. The Lord will answer, Truly I say to you, I do not know you. ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.”
198. Mat 25:13,“Be on the alert then, for you do not know the day nor the hour.”
199. Mat 25:14,“For it is just like a man about to go on a journey, who called his own slaves and entrusted his possessions to them.”
200. Mat 25:15,“To one he gave five talents, to another, two, and to another, one, each according to his own ability; and he went on his journey.”
Note: God gives each believer gifts according to his own ability. God’s gifts must be used for the glory of God and benefit of mankind. I am what I am by the grace of God.
201. Mat 25:16,“Immediately the one who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and gained five more talents.”
Note: It does not mean God approves Western greedy capitalism. In this world proper banking and trade are necessary. We Christians must be productive, bear fruits for God. We serve God, not Money, Power, and Sex.
202. Mat 25:17,“In the same manner the one who had received the two talents gained two more.”
Note: To get and to gain may be different. For example, Wall Street executives and bankers and many corrupt doctors get deceptive wages or earnings. The wicked wants to get, get, and get. The righteous gains by productivity, hard work and frugality.
203. Mat 25:18,“But he who received the one talent went away, and dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s money.”
Note: Christians cannot bury the gifts of God or resources entrusted to us. That means we must bear fruits for God. To do good and to do right is to bear fruit for God.
204. Mat 25:19,“Now after a long time the master of those slaves came and settled accounts with them.”
Note: Our Master Lord Jesus will come to settle accounts with His disciples. European and American supremacists and (Japanese) who had done so much evil in this world and to this day who claim to be Christians, how do you settle accounts with the Judge of the Living and Dead?
205. Mat 25:20,“The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, ‘Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’”
206. Mat 25:21,“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your Master.’”
Note: There are preachers or evangelists who are so proud and declare, Do you know who I am? True ministers of Jesus Christ are good and faithful slaves.
207. Mat 25:22,“Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said, ‘Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have gained two more talents.’”
208. Mat 25:23,“His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’”
209. Mat 25:24,“And the one also who had received the one talent came up and said, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow and gathering where you scattered no seed.”
Note: A bad slave slanders his Master. Preachers who commit corruption and sexual immorality slander the Master.
210. Mat 25:25, “And I was afraid, and went away and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is yours.’
Note: Corrupt and immoral preachers have a lot to be afraid, and yet many regard as their glory.
211. Mat 25:26,“But his master answered and said to him, ‘You wicked, lazy slave, you knew that I reap where I did not sow and gather where I scattered no seed.”
Note: If wicked and lazy slave cannot stand before the Master, how will the greedy and immoral preachers do?
212. Mat 25:27, “Then you ought to have put my money in the bank, and on my arrival I would have received my money back with interest.”
Note: Earning interest from the bank is an approved Scriptural practice. But today American banks almost pay zero interest for your $15,000 deposit. If you do not maintain the minimum $15,000, they charge you $20 a month. It is possible you put your money in the bank and dwindles to zero and you still owe the bank fees. This is the beauty of Western Capitalism!!! The rich gets richer, the poor gets poorer.
213. Mat 25:28, “Therefore take away the talent from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.’”
214. Mat 25:29, “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away.”
215. Mat 25:30,“Throw out the worthless slave into the outer darkness; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
Note: The problem of the world is the problem of worthless and useless people. It is God who determines who are worthless and useless people. Executives of Washing, Wall Street, Hollywood, corrupt and fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, lawyers and unbelieving theologians may think of themselves as somebodies, God will throw out the worthless slaves into the outer darkness. You may not know Hell is total darkness, Hell Fire burns but does not shine. Hell is the everlasting place of weeping and gnashing of teeth.
216. Mat 25:31,“But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.”
Note: We do not know what glory is like a blind man does not know the glorious sunset, only when we see Jesus Christ comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, and He will sit on His glorious throne. There are thrones and I had seen some of them, but there is no glorious throne in this world.
217. Mat 25:32,“All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.”
218. Mat 25:33, “and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.”
Note: Years ago I recalled one uncle of mine who misunderstood the Scripture. He thought all leftists were bad and all rightists were good. What Jesus does has nothing to do with the political leftists and political rightists. Fascism and mob rule are all wrong.
Regardless of whether people hold right-wing or left-wing beliefs, they are all sinners before God. All political leftists and rightists may go to Hell unless they repent and believe in Jesus Christ.
219. Mat 25:34,“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
Note: The ‘blessed of My Father’ are ‘the righteous’ in Mat 25:37.
220. Mat 25:35, “For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;”
221. Mat 25:36, “naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
222. Mat 25:40,“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
Note: This is the most important truth: God does not need anything. Jesus Christ does not need anything. What you do to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers (endearment) of Jesus, even the least (unimportant) of them, you do it for Jesus.
223. Mat 25:41,‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;”
Note: Hell is a place of the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels. The wicked and unbelieving follow the devil into Hell.
224. Mat 25:42, “for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;”
225. Mat 25:43, “I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’”
226. Mat 25:45,‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’”
Note: Your destiny depends on you did or you did not. Don’t get the wrong idea: the Scripture never teaches that if you do good, you will go to Heaven. No one is good enough to go to Heaven on his own merit. Whether you did repent and believe in Jesus Christ or not will determine your eternal destiny. A saved believer naturally will do good deeds.
227. Mat 25:46,“These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Note: There are only two destinies for everyone: the Wicked or Unrighteous are those who are not saved will go away into eternal punishment; but the Righteous who repented and believed in Jesus Christ are saved will go into eternal life.
228. Mat 26:2,“You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed over for crucifixion.”
Note: There were two major events of the Savior’s life”
Crucifixion and Resurrection. Jesus came to die for sinners so that sinners can be saved.
229. Mat 26:10,“Why do you bother the woman? For she has done a good deed to Me.”
Note: Many things happening right before our eyes, because we are human we are not aware of them. Jesus knows everything, He is aware of all things. The woman has done a good deed to Jesus, and yet people bother her. The world objects good deeds.
230. Mat 26:11,“For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have Me.”
Note: We always have the poor with us, so there is plenty of opportunity to do good deeds.
231. Mat 26:12,“For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it to prepare Me for burial.”
Note: This wonderful woman poured out the perfume on Jesus’ body to prepare Him for burial.
232. Mat 26:13,“Truly I say to you, wherever this Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
Note: Whatever good deed is done for Jesus will be spoken of in memory. Whatever you have done for Jesus will be remembered for eternity.
233. Mat 26:18,“Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples.”’”
Note: Do you have a house for Jesus and His disciplines?
234. Mat 26:21, “Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me.”
Note: The tragedy of all tragedies was Judas betrayed the Lord.
235. Mat 26:23,“He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.”
236. Mat 26:24, “The Son of Man is to go, just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Note: It would have been good for Judas if he had not been born. It would have been good for the world if Hitler had not been born. If would have been good for the world Tojo Hideki and Hirohito had not been born. If would have been good for the world if Judas had not been born!
240. Mat 26:28, “for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.”
241. Mat 26:29,“But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s Kingdom.”
242. Mat 26:31,“You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.’”
243. Mat 26:32, “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
244. Mat 26:34, “Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.” 245. Mat 26:36, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
246.Mat 26:38, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me.”
Note: We will never know the pain of the cross, ‘My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death…
247. Mat 26:39, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will.”
Note: The example Jesus sets for His followers: Jesus was obedient to the will of God even unto death.
248. Mat 26:40, “So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?”
249. Mat 26:41, “Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
250. Mat 26:42, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
251. Mat 26:45,“Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
Note: The hands of sinners have done so much evil in this world, including the hands of Britain who did to its colonies, the hands of American who did to the natives of America, and the hands of Australian who did to the aborigines of Australia.
252. Mat 26:46,“Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
253. Mat 26:50, “Friend, do what you have come for.”
254. Mat 26:52,“Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.”
Note: Why did all empires go? For all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword!
255. Mat 26:53,“Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?”
Note: Legion in Latin is legiōnwhich means “a Roman body of soldiers whose number differed at different times, and in the time of Augustus seems to have consisted of 6826 men (i.e. 6100 foot soldiers, and 726 horsemen)(Strong’s Concordance); – which occurs 4 times in the New Testament. Do you know how many angels required to subdue Satan? Rev 20:1-3, “Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, holding the key of the abyss and a great chain in his hand.
And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.”
256. Mat 26:54, “How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
257. Mat 26:55, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.”
258. Mat 26:56, “But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets.”
259. Mat 26:64,“You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell you, hereafter you will see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
261. Mat 28:10,“Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me.”
262. Mat 28:18,“All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth.”
Note: This Jesus said after His resurrection. Jesus has all authority and the highest authority in Heaven and on earth.
263. Mat 28:19,“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,”
Note: Therefore is because Jesus has all authority. So Jesus tells His disciples to go and make disciples of all the nations. Baptizing the news believers in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The God of the Bible is Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
264. Mat 28:20, “teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the world.”
Note: All Christians must observe the commandments of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is with believers always, even to the end of the world.
265. Mar 1:15, “The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel.”
Note: Because the time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; so the people of the world must repent and believe in the Gospel.
266. Mar 1:17, “Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.”
Note: Oh, sinners. The Lord Jesus is willing to cleanse your sins with His precious blood.
270. Mar 1:44,“See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Note: After a believer is saved, he must be a testimony to the world.
277. Mar 2:17,“It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”
278. Mar 2:19,“While the Bridegroom is with them, the attendants of the bridegroom cannot fast, can they? So long as they have the Bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.”
279. Mar 2:20,“But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.”
280. Mar 2:21,“No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.”
281. Mar 2:22, “No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost and the skins as well; but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.”
282. Mar 2:25, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;”
283. Mar 2:26, “how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?”
284. Mar 2:27, “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.”
Note: The Pharisees and the Sadducees are rigid religious ritualists, they do not understand the truth that the Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. By the same token, government was made for man, and not man for the government. Strange today, many governments claim to be democracy, they are not made for men. Many governments are masters of the people, and the people are slaves of the governments.
285. Mar 2:28,“So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” 286. Mar 3:3, “Get up and come forward!”
287.Mar 3:4, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the Sabbath, to save a life or to kill?”
Note: It is lawful to do good or to save a life on any day. It is not lawful to do harm or to kill on any day.
290. Mar 3:24, “If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.”
Note: In 2021 we witness something most shocking, the United States of America is divided against itself. Many nations are destroyed from within. That is why I propose constitutional amendment to declare American English as the official and only national language of America. I have proposed this for many years, it seems to fall on deaf ears! I also proposed to liberate Taiwan many years ago.
291. Mar 3:25,“If a house is divided against itself, that house will not be able to stand.”
Note: This is a another tragedy, many a house (home) is divided against itself. Sibling rivalrybecomes the cause of discord and disharmony. I believe it is the duty of parents to teach their children not only harmony, but affection and bond for each other.
292. Mar 3:26, “If Satan has risen up against himself and is divided, he cannot stand, but he is finished!”
293. Mar 3:27, “But no one can enter the strong man’s house and plunder his property unless he first binds the strong man, and then he will plunder his house.”
Note: Who is the strong man of America? I believe Deng Xiaoping was once the strong man of China.
294. Mar 3:28,“Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;”
295. Mar 3:29, “but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin”—
Note: A female professor of Harvard, in seeking fame and fortune, she declared that she found Jesus had a wife. I believe this woman has blasphemed against the Holy Spirit.
296. Mar 3:33,“Who are My mother and My brothers?”
297. Mar 3:34, “Behold My mother and My brothers!”
298. Mar 3:35,“For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
Note: This is most astounding and amazing that the Lord Jesus Christ lifts up and exalts whoever does the will of God is His brother and sister and mother!
299. Mar 4:3,“Listen to this! Behold, the sower went out to sow;”
300. Mar 4:4,“as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.”
301. Mar 4:5,“Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.”
302. Mar 4:6, “And after the sun had risen, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.”
Not a few church members had no root in the faith, when difficulty or persecution took place, it withered away.
303. Mar 4:7,“Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.”
304. Mar 4:8, “Other seeds fell into the good soil, and as they grew up and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
305. Mar 4:9, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
306. Mar 4:11, “To you has been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, but those who are outside get everything in parables,”
Note: Believers are inside the family of God who have been given the mystery of the Kingdom of God, unbelievers are outside.
307. Mar 4:12, “so that WHILE SEEING, THEY MAY SEE AND NOT PERCEIVE, AND WHILE HEARING, THEY MAY HEAR AND NOT UNDERSTAND, OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT RETURN AND BE FORGIVEN.”
Note: This is a sad truth, there are those who may see and not perceive, while hearing they may hear and not understand. Unbelieving scientists and theologians do not perceive and they do not understand the Word of God.
308. Mar 4:13, “Do you not understand this parable? How will you understand all the parables?”
310. Mar 4:15,“These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the Word which has been sown in them.”
311. Mar 4:16,“In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;”
312. Mar 4:17, “and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the Word, immediately they fall away.”
313. Mar 4:18,“And others are the ones on whom seed was sown among the thorns; these are the ones who have heard the Word,”
314. Mar 4:19, “but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the Word, and it becomes unfruitful.”
Note: The thorns are the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things — the choke the Word and it becomes unfruitful.
315. Mar 4:20,“And those are the ones on whom seed was sown on the good soil; and they hear the Word and accept it and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.”
Note: Although the Word of God is true and wonderful, you need to accept it and bear fruit.
316. Mar 4:21, “A lamp is not brought to be put under a basket, is it, or under a bed? Is it not brought to be put on the lampstand?”
317. Mar 4:22,“For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.”
Note: The evil deeds, abuses, atrocities, crimes, brutalities committed by white Europeans, Americans, Canadians, Australians, and Japanese have come to light; revealed and not hidden anymore.
318. Mar 4:23,“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
319. Mar 4:24, “Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.”
320. Mar 4:25,“For whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he has shall be taken away from him.”
321. Mar 4:26,“The Kingdom of God is like a man who casts seed upon the soil;”
322. Mar 4:27, “and he goes to bed at night and gets up by day, and the seed sprouts and grows—how, he himself does not know.”
323. Mar 4:28,“The soil produces crops by itself; first the blade, then the head, then the mature grain in the head.”
324. Mar 4:29,“But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
325. Mar 4:35, “Let us go over to the other side.”
326. Mar 4:40,“Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
Note: Those who have faith, will not fear. Those who have no faith, will be afraid.
327. Mar 5:8,“Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!”
331. Mar 5:34, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace and be healed of your affliction.”
Note: It does not mean your faith can make you well. It means your faith in God can appropriate the power of God, and the power of God can make you well. The Almighty God can heal your affliction.
332. Mar 5:36, “Do not be afraid any longer, only believe.”
Note: If you believe in Jesus Christ, you will not be afraid any longer.
333. Mar 5:39,“Why make a commotion and weep? The child has not died, but is asleep.”
Note: Many times we make a commotion and weep. If only we know with the Lord all is well.
334. Mar 5:41, “Talithakum!” (which translated means, “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
Note: The Words of Jesus have power. Jesus said to little girl who was dead to get up. And immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old.
335. Mar 6:4,“A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household.”
Note: Probably familiarity breeds contempt. However, you should honor every prophet of God.
337. Mar 6:10,“Wherever you enter a house, stay there until you leave town.”
338. Mar 6:11,“Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them.”
339. Mar 6:31, “Come away by yourselves to a secluded place and rest a while.”
Note: The hard-working servant of Christ must heed the Word of Jesus, Rest a while.
Note: As the body requires, it is important to eat something.
341. Mar 6:38,“How many loaves do you have? Go look!”
Note: It is important to know what you have.
342. Mar 6:50,“Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”
Note: Sometimes in our lives we encountered something strange and were terrified. Remember the Words of Jesus, “Take courage; it is I, do not be afraid.”
343. Mar 7:6,“Rightly did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.”
Note: Prophets who said what it is written are always right.
344. Mar 7:7,‘BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.’
Note: False prophets and false teachers teach the precepts of men as doctrines. Watch out unbelieving theologians who led many astray.
345. Mar 7:8,“Neglecting the commandment of God, you hold to the tradition of men.”
Note: Do not hold to the tradition of men by neglecting the commandment of God.
346. Mar 7:9,“You are experts at setting aside the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition.”
Note: False prophets and false teachers are experts at setting aside the Word of God in order to promote their teachings. I also observe Western leaders and politicians are experts in deceiving the world with their doctrines of so-called democracy, freedom, and justice.
347. Mar 7:10,“For Moses said, ‘HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER’; and, ‘HE WHO SPEAKS EVIL OF FATHER OR MOTHER, IS TO BE PUT TO DEATH’;
348. Mar 7:11, “but you say, ‘If a man says to his father or his mother, whatever I have that would help you is Corban (that is to say, given to God),’
349. Mar 7:12, “you no longer permit him to do anything for his father or his mother;”
Note: Whatever is given to God does not justify to exempt yourself from what you ought to give to your parents. You cannot say I make donations to the church so I do not need to support my parents.
350. Mar 7:13, “thus invalidating the Word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
Note: No one can use any pretext to invalidate the Word of God.
351. Mar 7:14, “Listen to Me, all of you, and understand:”
Note: It is of utmost importance to listen to the Words of Jesus and understand. If you do not understand, ask the Holy Spirit to enlighten you or to open the eyes of your heart. (Eph 1:18).
352. Mar 7:15, “there is nothing outside the man which can defile him if it goes into him; but the things which proceed out of the man are what defile the man.”
353. Mar 7:16,“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”
Note: Eyes are to see, ears are to hear, brain is to think. Sad are those who have eyes, but do not see; have ears, but do not hear; have brain, but do not think.
354. Mar 7:18,“Are you so lacking in understanding also? Do you not understand that whatever goes into the man from outside cannot defile him,”
Note: Understanding helps one to know. 1Jo 5:20, “And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.”
355. Mar 7:19, “because it does not go into his heart, but into his stomach, and is eliminated?”
356. Mar 7:20, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man.”
Note: That which proceeds out of Western leaders and politicians and Western mainstream media, not only defile the man, they deceive the whole world.
357. Mar 7:21,“For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries,”
358. Mar 7:22, “deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness.”
Note: Some Western leaders call China virus, their deceit, malice, envy, slander, pride and foolishness are apparent. Imagine if China or any country can invent COVID-19 that infects:
Global cases
Last updated: 2021-11-26 09:03:05 UTC+7
Confirmed:260,276,067
Deaths: 5,198,847
UnitedStates 48,999,737
Deaths: 798,551
359. Mar 7:23, “All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”
Note: Jesus Christ calls evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness as evil things.
360. Mar 7:27,“Let the children be satisfied first, for it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
Note: Children matter. Let the children be satisfied first. There are some cultures which put children last, the left-over for the children. However, it is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs. There are some countries which treat the dogs better than the children. I certainly do not want dogs to come to my bed, and I certainly do not want dogs to kiss me nor do I want to kiss dogs. My asthma cannot tolerate dogs. When I take a walk, the most unpleasant sight is to meet dog’s feces and cigarette buds on the street. I consider a person who walks a dog to urinate and defecate in public place as an uncivilized person. From 1924 to 1984, Iceland was also known for the fact that pet dogs were banned in the country’s capital of Reykjavík. According to https://woofdog.org/dog-bite-statistics/
“Each year, in the U.S., occur approximately 4.7 million pup bites from which 800 000 results in medical care. Animal control deals with these problematic pets of all breeds.” I am glad there are no dogs or animals in Heaven. Don’t be fooled by pets industry.
THE WICKED DO NOT LET ME PASTE OR EDIT.
361. Mar 7:29,“Because of this answer go; the demon has gone out of your daughter.”
Note: In the hands of Christ, little becomes much.
366. Mar 8:12,“Why does this generation seek for a sign? Truly I say to you, no sign will be given to this generation.”
367. Mar 8:15,“Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”
368. Mar 8:17,“Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not yet see or understand? Do you have a hardened heart?”
Note: To see is to understand. Don’t ever have a hardened heart.
369. Mar 8:18,“HAVING EYES, DO YOU NOT SEE? AND HAVING EARS, DO YOU NOT HEAR? And do you not remember,”
Note: Remembrance helps us to understand the Word of God. Memorization of the important portions of the Scriptures is useful. The fact that I attempt to sort out the Words of Jesus is the reason to make it convenient to memorize and remember the Words of Jesus. To memorize the Words of Jesus is not the same to memorize who begets who in genealogy. I personally do not believe I have the ability to memorize the whole Bible, in particular the Old Testament. I believe we should memorize Psalms which teach us how to pray. I knew Wang Ming Tau when he was blind, he preached by remembrance of the Words of God. If anyone claims he can memorize the whole Bible, he can test himself by sitting down to write down the whole Bible by memory from Genesis to Revelation; and compare it to the real Bible to see if he makes any mistake. Do not forget the special graces that you received from the Lord.
370. Mar 8:19, “when I broke the five loaves for the five thousand, how many baskets full of broken pieces you picked up?”
371. Mar 8:20,“When I broke the seven for the four thousand, how many large baskets full of broken pieces did you pick up?”
377. Mar 8:33, “Get behind Me, Satan; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” 378. Mar 8:34, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.”
379.Mar 8:35,“For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the Gospel’s will save it.”
380. Mar 8:36, “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his soul?”
381. Mar 8:37, “For what will a man give in exchange for his soul?”
Note: Apparently, the people of the world do not know the value of their souls.
382. Mar 8:38,“For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.”
Note: What is our generation? Maybe more adulterous and sinful. A person must have wrong value to be ashamed of Jesus Christ and His Words. There are people who are so proud because they have the White House connection. I would not exchange Jesus Christ with any emperor, king, president, philosopher, scientist, etc. whose glory had vanished long ago.
383. Mar 9:1,“Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God after it has come with power.”
Note: It is true that John, James and Peter went up to the holy mountain with Jesus and did not taste death and saw the Kingdom of God when Jesus transfigured, and saw the glory of Jesus.
384. Mar 9:12, “Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?”
Note: It is true that the Son of God suffered many things for us sinners and believers. I could not understand how could anyone treat Jesus Christ with contempt. I think because some religious leaders of that time were jealous of the power of Christ and His Words and His large followers. I do treat some bad theologians and philosophers with contempt because they misinterpreted and misrepresented the Word of God.
385. Mar 9:13, “But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him.”
386. Mar 9:16, “What are you discussing with them?”
Note: What are people discussing can tell a lot about them. Have you ever heard greedy and corrupt capitalists discuss about treasure in Heaven?
387. Mar 9:19, “O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!”
Note: How long will God put up with American and European, UK, Canadian and Australian imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, militarists, supremacists, monopolists, warmongers, oppressors, suppressors, and dictators who lie, kill, and rob weak nations and peoples? All white nations (EU, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, etc. All work in tandem with each other and under the leadership of USA) continue want to dominate and dictate the world in everything.
388. Mar 9:21,“How long has this been happening to him?”
Note: It is important to know not because Jesus Christ did not know how long the spirit had been throwing the boy into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, and rolling around and foaming at the mouth. Jesus before He rebuked the unclean spirit, He wanted the father to admit a fact to the crowd.
389. Mar 9:23, “ ‘If You can?’ All things are possible to him who believes.”
390. Mar 9:25, “You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again.”
Note: How can anyone treat Jesus Christ with contempt knowing He commanded dead and mute spirit, and demons and evil spirits always obeyed Jesus the Son of God and they were very afraid to be sent to Hell. Notice also evil spirit can enter the same person again.
391. Mar 9:29, “This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer.”
Note: I do not have the gift of driving out demons or evil spirits. Prayer is asking God’s power for a favor.
392. Mar 9:31,“The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later.”
Note: Jesus Christ was perfect man, He was killed by crucifixion; only humanity can die. Jesus was bodily dead. But Jesus Christ was raised from the dead three days later by the power of God to prove His divinity.
393. Mar 9:33, “What were you discussing on the way?”
394. Mar 9:35, “If anyone wants to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”
Note: You have heard about “public servants.” This is a big lie of Western democracy. When politicians are elected or appointed, they become masters of the people. They use position and power to benefit themselves, and so they become rich and powerful. For Christians they are not so, those who want to be a leader must be servant of all. This is also a lie among false preachers. One TV preacher declared, Do you know who I am? I know a lot of so-called preachers, they have a sense of superiority.
395. Mar 9:37, “Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me.”
396. Mar 9:39,“Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.”
397. Mar 9:40,“For he who is not against us is for us.”
Note: This is a great truth that Jesus Christ teaches His disciples so that we will not confuse who is friend or foe. He who is not against us is for us.
398. Mar 9:41,“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
Note: Anything done for the followers of Christ will be rewarded.
399. Mar 9:42,“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe to stumble, it would be better for him if, with a heavy millstone hung around his neck, he had been cast into the sea.”
400. Mar 9:43,“If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into Hell, into the unquenchable fire,”
Note: This is a language of comparative hyperbole. It does not means if you cut off the hand that causes you to stumble, you will go to Heaven. It meas the Hell is so terrible that you ought to avoid it by all means.
401. Mar 9:44,[where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
Note: Hell is a place where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED. Hell is a place, not a state of mind. Just as Heaven is a place, not a state of mind.
402. Mar 9:45,“If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into Hell,”
Note: This is the language of comparative hyperbole. If you cut off your foot that causes you to stumble, it does not guarantee you get to Heaven. It means you should avoid everything you can so that you will not be cast into Hell.
403. Mar 9:46,[where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.]
Note: Jesus repeatedly stresses the condition of Hell so that people will not overlook.
404. Mar 9:47,“If your eye causes you to stumble, throw it out; it is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be cast into Hell,”
Note: This is the language of comparative hyperbole. It does mean if your eyes causes you to stumble, you throw it out will guarantee you to enter the Kingdom of God. To prevent to be cast into Hell is more important than anything.
405. Mar 9:48,“where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.”
Note: The Hell is so terrible and so awful that Jesus Christ repeatedly state three time to avoid it.
406. Mar 9:49, “For everyone will be salted with fire.”
Note: Beyond one’s imagination, you do not really know how everyone will be salted with fire in Hell.
407. Mar 9:50, “Salt is good; but if the salt becomes un-salty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.”
Note: For the last 500 years white Europeans dominated the world to this day. For the last 300 years American supremacists dominate the world to this day. The imperial Japan started to be aggressive beginning in the late 19th centuries. EU, UK, America, Canada, Australia, Japan, and Islamic terrorists are the reasons the world is not at peace with one another today.
409. Mar 10:5,“Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.”
410. Mar 10:6,“But from the beginning of creation, God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.”
Note: Clearly Jesus Christ validates the doctrine of creation, God made Adam and Eve. An American president who advertises himself as born again Christian is an evolutionist. You cannot be a Christian and evolutionist at the same time. How could or would anyone trust the words of scientists who do not know even when they are going to die but pretend to know things millions and billions of years ago?
411. Mar 10:7,“FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER,”
Note: The union of male and female require a man to leave his father and mother. There are many mothers who hinder the union of their sons with their daughter-in-laws.
412. Mar 10:8, “AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.”
Note: The secret of happy and successful marriage is taught by Jesus Christ, “The two shall become one flesh.”
413. Mar 10:9,“What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”
Note: Christians are forbidden to divorce: What God has joined together, let no man separate. Why?
414. Mar 10:11,“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her;”
Note: This is the commandment of Jesus Christ: Whoever divorces his wife and marries another women commits adultery against her. How many church members commit adultery as defined by Jesus Christ. Worse, there are preachers who commit adultery in divorce.
415. Mar 10:12, “and if she herself divorces her husband and marries another man, she is committing adultery.”
Note: Christianity preaches and practices the equality of man and woman. When a husband divorces his wife, or a woman divorces her husband, they commit adultery.
416. Mar 10:14,“Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”
Note: There are innocence and simplicity in many children. The best children I have ever met were the Danish children that I related in my Theory of Good Society. There are also bad and incorrigible children who commit murders, rapes and robberies. It does not mean all children are guaranteed to go to Heaven. Those children who were killed by Pharaoh in Moses time, Herod in Jesus time, and abortionists are certain to go to Heaven.
417. Mar 10:15,“Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all.”
Note: No one can receive the Kingdom of God like arrogant American, European, EU, UK, Canadian, and Australian leaders.
418. Mar 10:18,“Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.”
Note: This is a vital truth: No one is good except God alone. Jesus Christ is good because He is God.
419. Mar 10:19,“You know the commandments, ‘DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.’”
420. Mar 10:21,“One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come, follow Me.”
Note: People of the world do not know what is the most important thing: the thing they lack. American, European, UK, Canadian, Australian, etc. although claim to be Christians, they have the wrong values of money, power, and sex. They still lie, kill, and rob. They want to dictate and dominate the world. For hundreds of years they have done evil in this world. One thing they lack: they must do good and they must do right. If they want to do good and do right, they must give up world domination and seek righteousness, justice, truth, and peace. They must seek treasure in Heaven and observe the commandments of Jesus Christ.
421. Mar 10:23, “How hard it will be for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Note: Jesus says it is hard for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God.
422. Mar 10:24, “Children, how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God!”
Note: Truth needs to be emphasized. Jesus repeatedly says, How hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the Kingdom of God. It is hard to enter the Kingdom of God.
423. Mar 10:25, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God.”
Note: The analogy is sharp. Which is more difficult? Is it more difficult for a camel to go through the eyes of a needle? Is it more difficult for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God? It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God!
424. Mar 10:27,“With people it is impossible, but not with God; for all things are possible with God.”
Note: There are infinite number of things are impossible with people. But with God, all things are possible. God does not have difficulty or extremity. God does not and never have a problem. If any man enters the Kingdom of God, it is all because of the grace of God. No man is worthy to enter the Kingdom of God. God is almighty, and all things are possible with God is a doctrine taught by Jesus Christ Himself.
425. Mar 10:29,“Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for My sake and for the Gospel’s sake,”
426. Mar 10:30, “but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.”
Note: If as a Christian you have never persecuted for Jesus’ sake and for the Gospel’s sale, something is wrong with you. The Chinese people believe one had past life, present life, and life to come through the so-called endless cycle of rebirth. That is sheer superstition. You do not have past life. The moment you are born is the beginning of your life. When your present life is ended you either go to Hell or Heaven for eternity. There is no rebirth to come back to earth in another life form. Christians have the age to come, eternal life.
427. Mar 10:31, “But many who are first will be last, and the last, first.”
Note: Do not get the wrong idea, that the Apostles who were first will be come last, and we Christians of the last days will become first. It appears to me that some who were earlier church members later became lukewarm.
428. Mar 10:33,“Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes; and they will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.”
Note: Ironically, it was the chief priests and the scribes — the Jewish religious establishment who condemned Jesus Christ — those who knew the Law of Moses. Just like Judas who was a disciple of Jesus Christ who betrayed Him. It is also the false prophets and false teachers who distort and misinterpret the Word of God.
429. Mar 10:34, “They will mock Him and spit on Him, and scourge Him and kill Him, and three days later He will rise again.”
Note: The wicked mocked Jesus, spat on Him, and scourged Him and killed Him. Whenever Jesus talks about His death He invariably speaks about his rising again, resurrection. Crucifixion and Resurrection are the two cardinal doctrines of Christianity. All founders of world religions are dead in the tomb.
430. Mar 10:36, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
Note: If Jesus asks what do you want Him to do for you, what will you ask? Do you ask for money, power, pleasure and longevity (long-life)? What you ask will reflect your true value.
431. Mar 10:38,“You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized?”
432. Mar 10:39,“The cup that I drink you shall drink; and you shall be baptized with the baptism with which I am baptized.” 433. Mar 10:40,“But to sit on My right or on My left, this is not Mine to give; but it is for those for whom it has been prepared.”
Note: This was said before the Resurrection. After the Resurrection, Jesus has all the authority. He can give anything to anybody. However, it is wise not to ask for earthly things, how much more to ask for Heavenly things. What it has been prepared for will get it. First no one is worthy to sit on the right or the left of Jesus Christ. Evidently, God has prepared for those who sit on the right or on the left of Jesus Christ. I personally believe three persons are candidates, two will be chosen: Apostle Paul, Apostle John or Stephen.
434.Mar 10:42, “You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.”
Note: In all nations, the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them. Democracy is a lie. Public servant is also a lie. High ranking officials exercise authority over the citizens. That is why I propose change of the U.S. Constitution to stipulate the ultimate sovereignty be vested in the American citizens, so that 51 per cent of American citizens can remove any official, including the president of the U.S. Some arrogant American leader thinks power belongs to him personally, not wise enough to know that power ultimately belongs to the people of the country. Not a few corrupt and bad leaders of poor and undeveloped nations, they act and think national treasury is their own money, so they live in luxury while their people live in abject poverty,
435. Mar 10:43,“But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;”
Note: The way of the world whether it is Western style so-called democracy or backward dictatorship, is not the way among Christians. Whoever wishes to become great among believers shall be the servant. The white people have sense of supremacy, many preachers also have spiritual sense of superiority.
436. Mar 10:44, “and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.”
Note: Jesus Christ defines leadership and greatness quite different from how the world behaves.
437. Mar 10:45,“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
Note: Not only Jesus Christ did not come to be served, but to serve, He gave up His life for a ransom of His followers.
439. Mar 10:51,“What do you want Me to do for you?”
Note: The blind man knew exactly what he wanted; he wanted to regain his sight.
440. Mar 10:52,“Go; your faith has made you well.”
Note: Just as the blind man immediately regained his sight, so a repentant sinner can be saved immediately. Regeneration is like a new birth, but growth takes a lifetime. A saved individual knows how to follow Jesus.
441. Mar 11:2,“Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.”
Note: What Jesus says is always true. How many American politicians (male and female) over the years claimed that God wanted them to run for the American presidency, but not one them ever got elected. So they lied in the name of God. Those politicians used the name of God in vain.
442. Mar 11:3,“If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ you say, ‘The Lord has need of it’; and immediately he will send it back here.”
Note: Blessed it the person or thing the Lord has need of it.
443. Mar 11:14,“May no one ever eat fruit from you again!”
Note: The Lord has need of the colt. But the fig tree has no fruit when the Lord was hungry. 444. Mar 11:17,“Is it not written, ‘MY HOUSE SHALL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER FOR ALL THE NATIONS’? But you have made it a ROBBERS’ DEN.”
Note: Man is able to turn the holy into profane. The Church of Christ is a House of prayers, but there are some organized churches but Robbers’ dens. Some ministers use churches as their own money making institutions.
Note: When the disciples were passing by, they saw the fig tree which Jesus cursed has withered from the roots up. But Jesus says, Have faith in God.
446. Mar 11:23,“Truly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says is going to happen, it will be granted him.”
Note: To have faith is not to doubt in one’s heart.
447. Mar 11:24,“Therefore I say to you, all things for which you pray and ask, believe that you have received them, and they will be granted you.”
Note: To pray is to ask God for something, and believe that we will receive them.
448. Mar 11:25, “Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father who is in Heaven will also forgive you your transgressions.”
Note: Transgressions stand in the way when we pray to our Father who is in Heaven. We need to forgive others as God has forgiven our transgressions.
449. Mar 11:26,[But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father who is in Heaven forgive your transgressions.”]
Note: If we want our Father who is in Heaven to forgive our transgressions, so we must forgive our brothers and sisters of their faults.
450. Mar 11:29,“I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Note: Jesus knows all peoples and their hearts. It is wonderful to see how the Lord uses a good question to answer a bad question to highlight the truth and reveal the heart of man. On the Internet, you can see many outrageous comments against the truth, I never want to waste my time on the enemies of truth. If they reject the truth, I do not lose anything. Once a woman challenged me to prove her sins. If they accept the truth, it is good for them.
451. Mar 11:30,“Was the baptism of John from Heaven, or from men? Answer Me.”
Note: The question of the Lord puts the enemies of truth in a bind. They began reasoning among themselves, saying, if they say, From Heaven. Jesus will say why did you not believe him? If they say, from men. They were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet. So they answered Jesus that they do not know.
452. Mar 11:33,“Nor will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
Note: Of course, by the authority of God Jesus does many things, including raising the dead, walking on the sea, healing every disease or sickness.
453. Mar 12:1,“A man PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT, AND DUG A VAT UNDER THE WINE PRESS AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.”
454. Mar 12:2,“At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.”
455. Mar 12:3,“They took him, and beat him and sent him away empty-handed.”
456. Mar 12:4,“Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.”
457. Mar 12:5,“And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.”
458. Mar 12:6,“He had one more to send, a beloved Son; he sent him last of all to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’
Note: A beloved Son is the Son of God, Jesus Christ.
459. Mar 12:7,“But those vine-growers said to one another, ‘This is the Heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!’
460. Mar 12:8,“They took him, and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard.”
461. Mar 12:9,“What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.”
462. Mar 12:10,“Have you not even read this Scripture: ‘THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;”
463. Mar 12:11, “THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES’?”
Note: Everything in my life that came about from the Lord is marvelous in my eyes, and I am eternally grateful. The Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes were not idiots or mentally retarded. The knew that Jesus spoke this parable against them. They wanted to seize Jesus but they feared the people. These enemies of truth, the problem is not their head, but their heart, evil heart of unbelief.
464. Mar 12:15,“Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at.”
Note: Jesus knows the hearts and minds of men. Jesus knows their hypocrisy. There are many hypocrites in this world who claim to be Christians.
465. Mar 12:16,“Whose likeness and inscription is this?”
466. Mar 12:17,“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: This is a famous statement of Jesus Christ which has been quoted millions of times. It is a legal ground to justify a legal action. This verse fundamentally divides the kingdoms of the world and the Kingdom of God. A Christian has duty to render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, for example paying income tax. No one can render the things of God to Caesar. There is no such a thing calls Christian nationalism. There is no Christendom. There is no Christian nation anywhere on earth. UK, EU, AMERICA, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. have looted, robbed, and stolen millions of items of China’s national treasures since the Opium Wars to this day. These white nations and pagan Japan continue to slander, slur, and smear China out of jealousy and envy because of the peaceful rise of China, yet none of them has rendered to China the things that are China’s. When will they return the precious antiques, and priceless national treasures of China to China? The truth of Christ is amazing indeed.
467. Mar 12:24,“Is this not the reason you are mistaken, that you do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God?”
Note: People who are mistaken are so many. The reason they are mistaken is because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. Many scientists, philosophers, theologians, politicians, etc. are mistaken because they do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God. People who believe in evolution do not understand the Scriptures or the power of God.
468. Mar 12:25,“For when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Note: The righteous when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven. The wicked when they rise from the dead, they do not marry either, they will suffer for eternity in Hell.
469. Mar 12:26,“But regarding the fact that the dead rise again, have you not read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the burning bush, how God spoke to him, saying, ‘I AM THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, AND THE GOD OF ISAAC, AND THEGOD OF JACOB’?”
470. Mar 12:27,“He is not the God of the dead, but of the living; you are greatly mistaken.”
471. Mar 12:29,“The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;”
Note: Both Judaism and Christianity teach monotheism. God is ONE, and there is no other. The doctrine of many gods (polytheism) like some superstitious countries still believe is unacceptable from any intelligent person. Japan worships its convicted war crime criminals as living gods.
472. Mar 12:30, “AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.’
473. Mar 12:31,“The second is this, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Note: Christianity basically teaches people to love God and to love their neighbors. Terrorism and violence are not compatible with Christianity.
474. Mar 12:34, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
Note: What do you think of American and European, UK, Canadian, Australian, and white nations’ leaders who continue to lie, kill, and rob many nations and peoples; are they far or not far from the Kingdom of God?
475. Mar 12:35, “How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of David?”
476. Mar 12:36,“David himself said in the Holy Spirit, ‘THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, “SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES BENEATH YOUR FEET.”’
477. Mar 12:37, “David himself calls Him ‘Lord’; so in what sense is He his son?”
Note: A teacher who is able to resolve historical inconsistency or conflict, the crowd certainly would enjoy listening to him.
478. Mar 12:38,“Beware of the scribes who like to walk around in long robes, and like respectful greetings in the market places,”
Note: Beware in Greek is blepō which means to see; to take heed; to discern; to perceive by the senses; to look at; to feel; to discover; to know by experience; to have understanding; to observe carefully, to direct the mind to; to pay attention; to consider; to weigh carefully; to examine; – which occurs 142 times in the New Testament. We must examine all teachings of men by the Word of God.
479. Mar 12:39, “and chief seats in the synagogues and places of honor at banquets,”
Note: The hypocrites always like to show off themselves with fashion, and like respectful greetings in the market places, and chief seats in the congregation and places of honor at banquets.
480. Mar 12:40, “who devour widows’ houses, and for appearance’s sake offer long prayers; these will receive greater condemnation.”
Note: The pretenders devour widows’ houses, exploit the poor, and for appearance’s sake they offer long prayers. The hypocrites and pretenders will receive greater condemnation.
481. Mar 12:43,“Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the contributors to the treasury;”
Note: God knows not the quantity but the quality of your offerings.
482. Mar 12:44, “for they all put in out of their surplus, but she, out of her poverty, put in all she owned, all she had to live on.”
483. Mar 13:2,“Do you see these great buildings? Not one stone will be left upon another which will not be torn down.”
Note: If you have been to Europe, you will see many great and wonderful buildings. In particular, the evil empire of Britain sucked and depleted the resources of its colonies to build up their infrastructures. The Roman Catholic Church also has a great many properties around the world. Although I had not seen the Milan Cathedral, but I had seen the Notre Dame Cathedral. The most famous is probably St. Peter Basillica.
According to https://www.answers.com/Q/How_much_is_Saint_Peter%27s_Basilica_worth: “Ironically, even from a purely worldly prospective, the building itself with its historical value and artwork are indeed priceless. In other words, the basilica and all its contents are so precious that there is no amount of money or gold that could take its place.” I agree that Sistine Chapel is Michelangelo’s masterpiece. But I want to assure you that Vatican City is no comparison with the Holy City, the New Jerusalem.
484. Mar 13:5, “See to it that no one misleads you.”
Note: The devil deceives you. False prophets and false teachers mislead you. World leaders and politicians mislead you. Mainstream media mislead you. There is no truth in the world. Do you see?
485. Mar 13:6, “Many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He!’ and will mislead many.’
Note: The crux of the matter is the fact that many will come in Jesus’ name and claim to be Jesus and will mislead many.
486. Mar 13:7,“When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be frightened; those things must take place; but that is not yet the end.”
Note: Since the end of WWII, there are many unjust and unholy wars conducted and incited by America, Europe, UK, white nations and Islamic State. The US and Western powers use war to dictate and dominate the world. China and Russia do not start any war. I am afraid the coming nuclear war started by the West will destroy the whole world.
487. Mar 13:8,“For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in many places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.”
Note: No Western leader or media have the moral courage to tell the truth that the conflict between India and China was caused by the evil legacy of the British empire. The British empire wanted to make itself look bigger, and so they robbed the large area of China to be included in their colony Indian map. UK never apologized for the abuses and evil deeds they had done to their colonies. Even now they and other Western nations interfered in the internal affairs of Hong Kong and lied about it. Their hypocritical pretexts and phony reasons would even make the devil blush.
488. Mar 13:9,“But be on your guard; for they will deliver you to the courts, and you will be flogged in the synagogues, and you will stand before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them.”
489. Mar 13:10,“The Gospel must first be preached to all the nations.”
Note: The mission of our website is to preach the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations absolutely free.
490. Mar 13:11, “When they arrest you and hand you over, do not worry beforehand about what you are to say, but say whatever is given you in that hour; for it is not you who speak, but it is the Holy Spirit.”
491. Mar 13:12,“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death.”
492. Mar 13:13,“You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
Note: Jesus did not call Christians to a revolution or insurrection. Jesus calls His followers to take up the cross and endure to the end.
493. Mar 13:14,“But when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be (let the reader understand), then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains.”
Note: This Scripture may well refer to the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and also the cataclysmic end of the world.
494. Mar 13:15,“The one who is on the housetop must not go down, or go in to get anything out of his house;”
495. Mar 13:16, “and the one who is in the field must not turn back to get his coat.”
496. Mar 13:17,“But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!”
497. Mar 13:18,“But pray that it may not happen in the winter.”
498. Mar 13:19,“For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.”
Note: Evolution contradicts God’s creation.
499. Mar 13:20, “Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no life would have been saved; but for the sake of the elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
Note: The elect refer to the children of God.
500. Mar 13:21, “And then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ’; or, ‘Behold, He is there’; do not believe him;”
Note: Believe the Words of Jesus, do not believe the false prophets, false Christs, false teachers, and the Anti-christ.
501. Mar 13:22,“for false Christs and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.”
Note: Not all signs and wonders come from God.
502. Mar 13:23,“But take heed; behold, I have told you everything in advance.”
Note: Not only Jesus Christ knows all things, He controls also all events or things to come.
503. Mar 13:24,“But in those days, after that tribulation, THE SUN WILL BE DARKENED AND THE MOON WILL NOT GIVE ITS LIGHT,”
504. Mar 13:25, “AND THE STARS WILL BE FALLING from Heaven, and the powers that are in the Heavens will be shaken.”
505. Mar 13:26,“Then they will see THE SON OF MAN COMING IN CLOUDS with great power and glory.”
Note: Two things will describe the second coming of Jesus Christ: great power and glory.
506. Mar 13:27,“And then He will send forth the angels, and will gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of Heaven.”
Note: When Jesus returns, the angels will gather together God’s elect from the four winds, from the farthest end of the earth to the farthest end of Heaven, the largest crowds in history to meet the Lord in the space.
507. Mar 13:28,“Now learn the parable from the fig tree: when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.”
Note: Life is a big lesson, unending lesson. Followers of Jesus Christ have many things to learn. The most important is to learn is the teachings of Jesus Christ, the Words of Jesus Christ.
508. Mar 13:29,“Even so, you too, when you see these things happening, recognize that He is near, right at the door.”
Note: When we see the things Jesus told us in advance happening, when we see the signs of the second coming of Jesus, we must recognize that the Lord is near, right at the door.
509. Mar 13:30,“Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things take place.”
Note: The things that Jesus says will certainly take place.
510. Mar 13:31, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”
Note: Whoever knew or thought Heaven and earth will pass away. Yes, Jesus says, they will pass away. But the Words of Jesus will not pass away. This tells us the preciousness and everlastingness of the Words of Jesus. Everything earthly and humanly will pass away.
511. Mar 13:32,“But of that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.”
Note: As it has been said before, Jesus spoke this before His resurrection and exaltation. We believe after the resurrection, Jesus received all authority and He knew that day or hour of His second coming.
512. Mar 13:33,“Take heed, keep on the alert; for you do not know when the appointed time will come.”
Note: The reasons the followers of Jesus must keep on the alert is because they do not know when the appointed time will come.
513. Mar 13:34,“It is like a man away on a journey, who upon leaving his house and putting his slaves in charge, assigning to each one his task, also commanded the doorkeeper to stay on the alert.”
Note: It is necessary to remind us the followers of Jesus Christ that we are nothing but slaves, and the Lord has assigned to each one his task. Blessed is the person who knows his assignment and does his task.
514. Mar 13:35, “Therefore, be on the alert—for you do not know when the master of the house is coming, whether in the evening, at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—”
Note: The reason we must be on the alert is because we do not know when our Master the Lord Jesus is coming. Jesus in this verse alludes to the fact the world at different locations have different time zones; it may be in the evening at one location, at midnight at another location, or in the morning somewhere else.
“Sandford Fleming instigated the initial efforts thatledtotheadoptionofthetimezonesusedbythe railways in 1883 and theglobal time zones we use today. Fleming advocateddividing the world into 24 time zones, each equal to15ooflongitude and to one hour, beginning at the Greenwich Meridian (0olongitude).”
The Holy Bible is not a scientific textbook, but it is scientifically accurate.
515. Mar 13:36, “in case He should come suddenly and find you asleep.”
Note: Beware the Lord comes suddenly or imminently.
When I was a boy, I did not dare to sleep. I was worried when Jesus comes and finds me asleep or I did not hear the sound of the Trumpet. Oh, the preacher did not explain. The sleep that Jesus speaks about is not the physical sleep. The sleep Jesus refers to is a spiritual slumber which is inattentive to your post, neglecting your duty, unfit for service, and unprepared for his coming. Christians must wait, watch, and work until Jesus comes.
516. Mar 13:37,“What I say to you I say to all, ‘Be on the alert!’”
Note: In the Holy Bible, very few cases that Jesus Christ speaks to individuals like Peter, etc. In almost all cases, Jesus says to all His followers. What Jesus says to us He says to all, Be on the alert!
517. Mar 14:6,“Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.”
Note: Sometimes when someone does a good deed to Jesus, he/she would be bothered or opposed.
518. Mar 14:7,“For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.”
Note: The world will always have the poor because the governments and corporations are corrupt, the monopolists are greedy, unjust wars, exploitation, injustice, unfair trade, and natural disasters such as drought, flood, earthquakes, pandemics, famines, etc.
519. Mar 14:8, “She has done what she could; she has anointed My body beforehand for the burial.”
Note: The highest compliment that a follower or slave of Jesus can receive is when the Master says to you, You have done what you could. Blessed is the person who has done what he/she could for Jesus. Have you?
520. Mar 14:9,“Truly I say to you, wherever the Gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her.”
Note: Whatever good you have done for yourself may last a lifetime. Whatever good you have done for humanity may last a few generations. Whatever good you have done for Jesus is not wasted but will last for eternity in memory of you.
521. Mar 14:13,“Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;’
Note: If you are on a mission, you will find everything just as the Lord has said. I often ask the Lord to let me meet the person I should meet and keep away from me the person I should not meet.
522. Mar 14:14, “and wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is My guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?”’
Note: The teachings of Jesus were so famous and widespread that just mentioning the Teacher, they will know who He is. Do you have a guest room in your house for Jesus?
523. Mar 14:15,“And he himself will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; prepare for us there.”
Note: Whatever we prepared for Jesus, must be furnished and ready.
524. Mar 14:18,“Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me—one who is eating with Me.”
Note: It is sad and bad that a disciple would betray the Master. Evil is a mystery, and wickedness comes from the wicked. For that reason, I did not routinely accept invitation to eat with anybody. 525. Mar 14:20, And He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.”
Note: Although I am not a Chinese citizen, I am disgusted with people of Taiwan and Hong Kong who are Chinese traitors supported by foreigners. I do not object to have them executed in public.
526. Mar 14:21,“For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”
Note: Woe to Judas who betrayed the Lord. It would have been good for Judas if he had not been born. In history there have been many evil persons, it would have been good to the world if they had not been born!
Note: The bread represents the body of Christ, not the true body of Christ as Roman Catholic Church teaching of transubstantiation. The Body of Christ is right now sitting at the right hand of God in the highest Heaven.
528. Mar 14:24,“This is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.”
Note: The cup of grape juice also represents the blood of Jesus which is poured out for many. We do not literally drink the blood of Jesus. The precious blood of Jesus washes away our sins.
529. Mar 14:25,“Truly I say to you, I will never again drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.”
Note: How eager are Christians to wait for that Day when Jesus and we will drink the fruit of the vine anew in the Kingdom of God.
530. Mar 14:27,“You will all fall away, because it is written, ‘I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP SHALL BE SCATTERED.’
Note: The relationship between the Sheep and the Shepherd is so intimate and can never be separated. The Sheep can do nothing without the Shepherd. The Christians can do nothing without Jesus Christ.
531. Mar 14:28,“But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee.”
Note: The Crucifixion was such a depression, but the Resurrection is such a joy and glory. Jesus Christ, the Great Shepherd, will always go ahead of the Sheep.
532. Mar 14:30,“Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times.”
Note: This was what Jesus spoke to Peter personally.
534. Mar 14:34, “My soul is deeply grieved to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”
Note: We do not know how the soul of Jesus was deeply grieved to the point of death. We do not know how Jesus suffered for the agony of sin.
535. Mar 14:36, “Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will.”
Note: We do not know how terrible was the cup. We do know Jesus was obedient to the will of the Father.
536. Mar 14:37, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?”
Note: How weak is the flesh. Peter could not keep watch even for one hour!
537. Mar 14:38, “Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
Note: Not to come into temptation requires Christians to keep watching and praying. The spirit vs the flesh is life vs death, glory vs shame, honor vs dishonor.
538. Mar 14:41,“Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
539. Mar 14:42,“Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
540. Mar 14:48,“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?”
541. Mar 14:49,“Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures.”
542. Mar 14:62, “I am; and you shall see THE SON OFMAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF POWER, and COMING WITH THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN.”
543. Mar 15:2,“It is as you say.” 544. Mar 15:34, “ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?” which is translated, “MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”
544. .Mar 16:15, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.”
545. Mar 16:16,“He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.”
546. Mar 16:17, “These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;”
547. Mar 16:18, “they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
548. Luk 2:49, “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?”
549. Luk 4:4,“It is written, ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.’”
550. Luk 4:8, “It is written, ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
551. Luk 4:12, “It is said, ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
552. Luk 4:18, “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,”
553. Luk 4:19, “TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
554. Luk 4:21, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.” 555. Luk 4:23, “No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’”
556. Luk 4:24, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.”
557. Luk 4:25, “But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;”
558. Luk 4:26, “and yet Elijah was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.”
559. Luk 4:27,“And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.”
Note: Take note, demons and evil spirits are noisy. This reminds me of those who loudly broadcast their false and facetious opinions on the Internet. False and facetious opinions are weeds flourishing everywhere. 561. Luk 4:43, “I must preach the Kingdom of God to the other cities also, for I was sent for this purpose.”
Note: The Gospel must be preached to all creation. This is the main mission of the Church.
562. Luk 5:4,“Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.”
Note: Some fish live in deep water and so your nets must put into the deep water.
563. Luk 5:10, “Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men.”
Note: Mankind has so many fear, if not that, it is this. Catching men for Jesus is winning souls. Winning souls is not like a worldly man winning friends and influencing people.
Note: Sin is worse than leprosy. Sin is the leprosy of the soul. Come, let Jesus cleanse you from all sins.
565. Luk 5:14, “But go and show yourself to the priest and make an offering for your cleansing, just as Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”
Note: A saved sinner has something to show, to give a testimony to the world.
566. Luk 5:20, “Friend, your sins are forgiven you.”
Note: Jesus sees if you have faith or not. Yes, God alone can forgive sins. Jesus is God and so He can forgive sins. It is blasphemous for sinful Catholic priests to forgive sins of his members.
567. Luk 5:22, “Why are you reasoning in your hearts?”
Note: Jesus knows all things, including the reasoning of your heart.
568. Luk 5:23, “Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins have been forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’?”
Note: None is easy. Both are not easy. Only Jesus can do both.
569. Luk 5:24, “But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins, I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.”
Note: Jesus has authority on earth to forgive sins. Your sins must be forgiven on earth before you can go to Heaven. There is no sin in Heaven.
571. Luk 5:31, “It is not those who are well who need a physician, but those who are sick.”
Note: The legalistic, rigid and self-righteous Pharisees and the scribes grumbled because Jesus ate and drank with the tax collectors and sinners. The Pharisees and the scribes criticize Jesus about everything. They are far away from the Kingdom of God because they do not think they have sins. Self-righteous people are like lepers who have lost their sensitivity. They do not think they need to be saved. American leaders and politicians think they are exceptional so that they can continuously lie, kill, and rob many nations and peoples. They slander, smear, and sully China and Russia in everything; they fail to look at themselves in a mirror. They want to continuously dictate and dominate the world. Their ambition blinds their perception.
572. Luk 5:32, “I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
Note: Not surprising there are many self-righteous people in this world who have high opinions about themselves. 573. Luk 5:34, “You cannot make the attendants of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them, can you?”
Note: Blessed is a person who knows what he cannot and can.
574. Luk 5:35, “But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days.”
Note: The days are coming when Jesus Christ will return to judge the world and reign with the saints.
575. Luk 5:36, “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.”
Note: Man is so mixed up, not knowing the difference between the new and the old; not knowing the consequences of their behavior.
576. Luk 5:37, “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled out, and the skins will be ruined.”
Note: Human beings have great ability in ruining themselves and their environment.
577. Luk 5:38, “But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins.”
Note: I have discovered that you can know a lot about a person by the way he/she put things. They have great potential of putting things in the wrong way or wrong order. For example, many habitually put things to block the passage way and put things in inconvenient way. They do not know how to put new wine into fresh wineskins.
578. Luk 5:39, “And no one, after drinking old wine wishes for new; for he says, ‘The old is good enough.”
Note: It is a great wisdom to know what is good enough, whether the old is good enough, or the new is good enough. No one is good enough to enter Heaven.
579. Luk 6:3, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him,”
Note: If you had read bad books, it is better you had read none. Jesus often asks the question, Have you not read? The so-called world classic literature will pass away. It does not hurt you if you had never read Oxford World’s Classics. You will perish if you do not know the Words of Jesus. For this reason, the Words of Jesus are collected and made them available to the world.
580. Luk 6:4, “how he entered the house of God, and took and ate the consecrated bread which is not lawful for any to eat except the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?”
Note: Do not use the opinion of man to test the Word of God, use the Word of God to test all opinions of men.
581. Luk 6:5, “The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Note: The more you understand the Words of Jesus, the less you make mistake in faith and practice.
Note: The scribes and the Pharisees were filled with rage because Jesus healed on the Sabbath a man whose right hand was withered. Strange but it is true, there are peoples who are filled with rage because they see some people do good. The wicked are unhappy when they see the righteous do good. American and European leaders knew they forefathers had done much evil in their African colonies, so they impinge on China all kinds of bad motives and reasons when they see China aided so many African nations without strings attached.
585. Luk 6:20, “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the Kingdom of God.”
Note: This does not mean if you are poor you automatically have the Kingdom of God. It means the Gospel is preached to the poor. The poor are easier to enter the Kingdom of God than the rich. If you see many poor nations today, many are self-inflicted with corrupt and greedy leaders, civil wars, inferior culture, violence, destructive behavior, unproductive citizens, mismanagement of national resources, undisciplined, misfit, lazy and dirty, uneducated and uncivilized, and over populated.
586. Luk 6:21, “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you shall laugh.”
587. Luk 6:22, “Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.”
Note: For the sake of Jesus Christ, have you ever suffered when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn you as evil?
588. Luk 6:23, “Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in Heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.”
Note: To suffer for Jesus is to glorify with Jesus when He returns. The righteous have a great reward in Heaven.
589. Luk 6:24, “But woe to you who are rich, for you are receiving your comfort in full.”
Note: This verse and this woe has full application to the executives of Washington-Wall Street-Hollywood, corrupt and fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, drugs and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers, military-industrial-security complex.
590. Luk 6:25, “Woe to you who are well-fed now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep.”
591. Luk 6:26, “Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.”
592. Luk 6:27, “But I say to you who hear, love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,”
593. Luk 6:28, “bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.”
594. Luk 6:29, “Whoever hits you on the cheek, offer him the other also; and whoever takes away your coat, do not withhold your shirt from him either.”
Note: Judging from the Words of Jesus, watching American and European (UK, Canadian, Australian included) leaders who lie, kill, and rob the world, how could anyone believe they are Christians? How can any one who believe white and black supremacists are Christians?
595. Luk 6:30, “Give to everyone who asks of you, and whoever takes away what is yours, do not demand it back.”
596. Luk 6:31, “Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.”
597. Luk 6:32, “If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.”
598. Luk 6:33,“If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.”
599. Luk 6:34,“If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.”
600. Luk 6:35, “But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.
601. Luk 6:36, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”
Note: Be holy, just as our Father is holy. Be merciful, just as our Father is merciful.
602. Luk 6:37, “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; and do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; pardon, and you will be pardoned.”
Note: Do not judge means do not put yourself up in the place of God to pass judgment on people’s motive or action before it becomes evident. It does not mean do not differentiate between right and wrong, good and bad, light and darkness. When a false teacher preaches a false gospel, I dare to say so and withstand him for the sake of truth.
603. Luk 6:38, “Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return.”
604. Luk 6:39, “A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?”
Note: A false teacher or preacher is like a blind man, you cannot let the blind lead the blind. You cannot let them lead the people astray from the truth.
605. Luk 6:40, “A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.”
606. Luk 6:41, “Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?”
Note: Remember, a speck is a speck; a log is a log. To call a speck a speck is not to judge people. To call a log a speck is to tell a lie.
607. Luk 6:42, “Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother’s eye.”
Note: American and European leaders do not see the log that is their own eyes. For the last 500 years white supremacists have committed so much abuse and atrocities in the world; they have not apologized or make retributions to their colonies. Yet they accuse and smear Russia and China for what they have not done. The evil British empire is the major culprit. WHITE SUPREMACISTS believe a lie and practice lies, they are hypocrites without shame.
608. Luk 6:43, “For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.”
Note: This is the truth of Christ: A good tree cannot produce bad fruit. A bad tree cannot produce good fruit. This is not passing judgment. Western nations (European, UK, Australia, Canada, USA) have done so much evil in this world under imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopolism, unilateralism, supremacism, racism, hegemonism, etc. but they claim to be Christians. They are bad trees that produce bad fruit; and yet they pretend to be good trees.
609. Luk 6:44, “For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.”
Note: Each tree is known by its own fruit. A man is known by his word and deed. A nation is also known by its words and deeds of its leaders and politicians.
610. Luk 6:45, “The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.”
Note: Jesus Christ divides the people of the world into two groups only: the good man and the evil man. If you are the good man, you cannot be the evil man. If you are the evil man, you cannot be the good man. It is right to call the good man good man; and it is right to call the evil man evil man. That is not passing judgment. By the things a man’s mouth speaks you can tell that which fills his heart.
611. Luk 6:46, “Why do you call Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?”
Note: Why is a philosophical question. Why do people call Jesus, Lord, Lord, and do not do what Jesus says. Why the Western white nations call Jesus Lord, Lord, and do not do what Jesus says.
612. Luk 6:47, “Everyone who comes to Me and hears My Words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like:”
Note: It is not sufficient to come to Jesus and hear His Words, we must act on them.
613. Luk 6:48, “he is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock; and when a flood occurred, the torrent burst against that house and could not shake it, because it had been well built.”
Note: Every man who builds a house wants to build it well. The developers build poor houses to make money at the least cost and labor.
614. Luk 6:49, “But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great.”
615. Luk 7:9, “I say to you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
618. Luk 7:22,“Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.”
619. Luk 7:23, “Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me.”
620. Luk 7:24, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?”
621. Luk 7:25, “But what did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? Those who are splendidly clothed and live in luxury are found in royal palaces!”
622. Luk 7:26,“But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and one who is more than a prophet.”
623. Luk 7:27,“This is the one about whom it is written, ‘BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.’”
624. Luk 7:28,“I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
625. Luk 7:31, “To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?”
626. Luk 7:32,“They are like children who sit in the market place and call to one another, and they say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’”
627. Luk 7:33, “For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’
628. Luk 7:34,“The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
629. Luk 7:35, “Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
630. Luk 7:40, “Simon, I have something to say to you.”
631. Luk 7:41, “A moneylender had two debtors: one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.”
632. Luk 7:42, “When they were unable to repay, he graciously forgave them both. So which of them will love him more?”
Note: When you say yes is yes, no is no; you have judged correctly. It is one thing to judge a man; it is another thing to judge a matter. It is wrong to pass judgement on a man as God. When you call black is black, white is white; you have judged correctly. When you say right is right, wrong is wrong; you have judged correctly.
634. Luk 7:44, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.”
635. Luk 7:45, “You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.”
636. Luk 7:46, “You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.”
637. Luk 7:47, “For this reason I say to you, her sins, which are many, have been forgiven, for she loved much; but he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
639. Luk 8:5, “The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.
640. Luk 8:6,“Other seed fell on rocky soil, and as soon as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.”
641. Luk 8:7, “Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.”
642. Luk 8:8, “Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great.” “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
643. Luk 8:10,“To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that SEEING THEY MAY NOT SEE, AND HEARING THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND.”
644. Luk 8:11, “Now the parable is this: the seed is the Word of God.”
645. Luk 8:12, “Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the Word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.”
Note: The simple Gospel message is this: Believe and be saved. What to believe? Believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and your Lord and Savior. Be saved from what? Be saved from your sins; be saved from the judgment to come; be saved from Hell fire!
646. Luk 8:13, “Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.”
647. Luk 8:14, “The seed which fell among the thorns, these are the ones who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with worries and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to maturity.”
Note: The thorns to the Word of God are worries and riches and pleasures of this life. How many for riches and pleasures of this life reject the Gospel?
648. Luk 8:15, “But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.”
649. Luk 8:16, “Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.”
650. Luk 8:17, “For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.”
651. Luk 8:18, “So take care how you listen; for whoever has, to him more shall be given; and whoever does not have, even what he thinks he has shall be taken away from him.”
652. Luk 8:21, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the
Word of God and do it.”
653. Luk 8:22,“Let us go over to the other side of the lake.”
663. Luk 9:3,“Take nothing for your journey, neither a staff, nor a bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece.”
Note: This is Jesus’ special instruction for the twelve disciples. The Twelve Apostles were give authority and special rights that ordinary believers do not have. For ordinary believers, you have to make arrangements and prepare for your journey.
664. Luk 9:4,“Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city.”
665. Luk 9:5, “And as for those who do not receive you, as you go out from that city, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”
667. Luk 9:14, “Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each.”
Note: The Lord is the Author of order, not chaos. Everything must be done orderly. It is un-Christian and shameful when the hungry crowds rob and loot the food distribution car.
Note: What the people say who Jesus is is different what the disciples who say that Jesus is.
670. Luk 9:22, “The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed and be raised up on the third day.”
671. Luk 9:23, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
Note: In this world when people join a party or an organization, they want to get something. But to follow Jesus Christ, one needs to deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Him. To take up one’s cross and follow Jesus is not once a year Easter or Christmas. Christians take up the cross daily and follow Jesus.
672. Luk 9:24, “For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake, he is the one who will save it.”
673. Luk 9:25, “For what is a man profited if he gains the whole world, and loses or forfeits himself?”
674. Luk 9:26, “For whoever is ashamed of Me and My Words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.”
675. Luk 9:27, “But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the Kingdom of God.”
Note: Peter and John and James were the ones who saw the Kingdom of God in glory during Jesus’ transfiguration.
676. Luk 9:41, “You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you and put up with you? Bring your son here.”
Note: Lately the world has witnessed what a perverted generation where lies are the prominent features: American and Europeans leaders and politicians lied publicly without shame, and the mainstream mass media continuous spew out lies, deceptions, disinformation, misinformation like an avalanche. The Age of Lies has begun in politics, news, mass media in an organized and widespread way. 677. Luk 9:44,“Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men.”
Note: Let the Words of Jesus sink into our ears; so we must memorize them aloud. We must let the Words of Jesus to be written in our hearts.
678.Luk 9:48, “Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great.”
Note: Christians are to do many good and right things in the name of Jesus. American and European (including Canadian, Australian, UK) leaders and politicians have dictated and dominated the world for hundred of years and doing many abuses and evil deeds in the name of Jesus, because they claim to be Christians?
679. Luk 9:50, “Do not hinder him; for he who is not against you is for you.”
Note: Jesus enunciates a great principle: He who is not against you is for you. There is no neutrality concerning Jesus Christ: you are either against Him or for Him. Those who are for Jesus must speak up and stand up in this perverted generation. Do not hinder your friends.
680. Luk 9:55, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of;”
Note: Christians cannot have the spirit of revenge or the spirit of malice and ill will. White supremacists of America, UK, Europe, Canada, Australia, ETC. have the spirit of jealousy and spirit distortion against China’s peaceful rise, so they do everything in their power to hinder, oppress, suppress and slander and smear China as much as possible.
681. Luk 9:56, “for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”
Note: Remember the Words of Jesus: Jhn 10:7-10, “So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.“ I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.” The works of thieves and robbers are to steal and kill and destroy. Be alert, those who steal and kill and destroy are the works of Satan.
682. Luk 9:58, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
684. Luk 9:60, “Allow the dead to bury their own dead; but as for you, go and proclaim everywhere the Kingdom of God.”
Note: There are two dead groups: those who are living dead (without the Spirit of God) can bury their own dead (the physical dead). The Gospel must be proclaimed everywhere. Wherever Christians are, they must proclaim the Gospel.
685. Luk 9:62, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
Note: To be a fit Christian, after putting your hand to the plow, you must not look back. Remember Lot’s wife who looked back
686. Luk 10:2,“The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.”
Note: In addition to the Twelve Apostles, Jesus Christ also appointed seventy other disciples and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come. Jesus also gave them, 35 pairs of disciples special authority and rights that no other disciples have.
687. Luk 10:3, “Go; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.”
Note: The followers of Jesus Christ are lambs indeed, but the people of the world are wolves.
688. Luk 10:4, “Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.”
689. Luk 10:5, “Whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’
690. Luk 10:6, “If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.”
691. Luk 10:7, “Stay in that house, eating and drinking drinking what they give you; for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.”
692. Luk 10:8, “Whatever city you enter and they receive you, eat what is set before you;”
693. Luk 10:9, say to them, ‘The Kingdom of God has come near to you.’
694. Luk 10:10, “But whatever city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,”
695. Luk 10:11, ‘Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the Kingdom of God has come near.’
696. Luk 10:12, “I say to you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.”
697. Luk 10:13, “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.”
Note: There are people of Chorazin and Bethsaida, no matter how many miracles had been performed in them, they would not have repented anyway.
698. Luk 10:14, “But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.”
Note: The judgment to come has various severity that some may be more tolerable than others. The penalty in Hell is not the same or equal among all. There is no equality in Hell. Hell punishment is already unbearable, but some are even worse. The greater the wickedness, the greater the punishment. You can be sure the punishment of Judas the Traitor is much worse that the common crooks and criminals.
699. Luk 10:15, “And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will be brought down to Hades!”
Note: Capernaum is singled out as a city to be brought down to Hades. Washington, D.C. will be brought down to Hades unlike many unknown little cities. This is Divine equal justice.
700. Luk 10:16, “The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”
Note: This is the law of Divine equal reciprocity: those who listen to the disciples of Jesus, listen to Jesus; those who reject the disciples of Jesus, reject Jesus; and he who rejects Jesus rejects the ONE who sent Jesus. He who rejects the Son rejects the Father.
701. Luk 10:18, “I was watching Satan fall from Heaven like lightning.”
Note: This is the mystery of evil. Satan before the fall was some superior angel in Heaven. Why the fallen angel was not contented in his position and he wanted to be like the Almighty? The fall of Satan was destructive and swift like lightning. Those who rebel against God have the same fate.
702. Luk 10:19, “Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure you.”
Note: Behold, the Lord has given to the disciples authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will injure them. This authority and power none can imitate. The Lord has not given me any authority or power described.
703. Luk 10:20, “Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in Heaven.”
Note: Although I neither have authority nor power, but I rejoice that my name is recorded in Heave, a sinner saved by grace.
704. Luk 10:21, “I praise You, O Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.”
705. Luk 10:22, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.”
Note: The Father and Son are ONE. Blessed are the ones whom the Son wills to reveal Him.
706. Luk 10:23, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see,”
Note: The eyes of the disciples (the Twelve, the Seventy, and others) were blessed because they saw Jesus Christ in person, the miracles Jesus performed and many other things.
707. Luk 10:24, “for I say to you, that many prophets and kings wished to see the things which you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things which you hear, and did not hear them.”
Note: Many prophets and kings wished to see the things which the disciples saw, and did not see them, and to hear the Words of Jesus which the disciples heard, and did not hear them.
708. Luk 10:26, And He said to him, “What is written in the Law? How does it read to you?”
Note: Those before only had the Law and the Old Testament to read. Christians today have the whole Bible to read. Have you read it?
709. Luk 10:28, “You have answered correctly; DO THIS AND YOU WILL LIVE.”
Note: Even you know the Law, you have to Do in order to live. Under grace, you Believe and be Saved.
710. Luk 10:30, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, and they stripped him and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.”
711. Luk 10:31, “And by chance a priest was going down on that road, and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.”
Note: There are three causes which explain the things happen in this world: first by predetermination, that is by the will of God that certain things or events must happen. Second by cause and effect, for example drought may cause famine. Thirdly, by chance. By chance a priest was going down on that road. For example, by chance I met an old friend at a mall. No one is wise enough to know which is which because of the complexity of things. We Christians believe in the Divine Providence that all things work together for our good (Rom 8:28) to those who love the Lord. For example, I believe it was Divine Providence that I studied under Dr. Harold Koontz and achieved the highest grade in his advanced management class of 40 highly intelligent MBA and Ph.D. candidates. Had it not for the letter of recommendation by Professor Koontz, I did not believe the Chinese Ministry of Education would hire me as a professor, then my coming to China and other things could not and would not happen. So I do know my friendship with Dr. Arthur Mouw was arranged by God before the foundation of the world, otherwise cause and effect cannot be explained rationally. So some philosophers believe God is the First Cause.
712. Luk 10:32, “Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.”
Note: Some religious establishment would not practice charity and compassion but deliberately passed by on the other side to ignore the desperate and helpless victims.
713. Luk 10:33, “But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,”
Note: If only you know Jews have no dealings with Samaritans you will realize how poignantit was a Samaritan who felt compassion for a Jew who was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho.
714. Luk 10:34, “and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.”
Note: The Good Samaritan is a type (person who believed to foreshadow or represent) of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who came down from Heaven to save sinners.
715. Luk 10:35, “On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.’
Note: This is real charity and work of mercy. Unlike many charity organizations in America that raised a $100 and give out $1 and claim to be non-profit.
716. Luk 10:36, “Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?”
Note: It is sad but true, many corrupt government leaders are robbers’ hands. Many greedy business and industry are robbers’ hands. Many corrupt charity organizations are robbers’ hands. Many religious establishments are robbers’ hands.
Note: The Christian faith is not an empty talk religion; it is a “do or practice” religion.
718. Luk 10:41, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things;”
Note: Are we not worried and bothered about so many unimportant things?
719. Luk 10:42, “but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”
Note: In life only one thing is necessary. Do you know what one thing is necessary? Are we not ignorant not knowing that one thing is necessary? Let us imitate Mary to choose the good part. If you have the Words of Jesus is your heart, it shall not be taken away from you. It is possible and tragic that a person may have many things but lacks the only one necessary thing.
720. Luk 11:2, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come.”
721. Luk 11:3, ‘Give us each day our daily bread.”
722. Luk 11:4, ‘And forgive us our sins, For we ourselves also forgive everyone who is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation.’”
723. Luk 11:5, “Suppose one of you has a friend, and goes to him at midnight and says to him, ‘Friend, lend me three loaves;”
724. Luk 11:6, “for a friend of mine has come to me from a journey, and I have nothing to set before him’;”
725. Luk 11:7, “and from inside he answers and says, ‘Do not bother me; the door has already been shut and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.’
726. Luk 11:8, “I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.”
Note: Persistence is one of the principles of success. We need persistence to get an education, to be trained in a job, to undertake an enterprise, to build a happy and harmonious home, to be hardworking and thrifty, to handle human relationships, to raise and rear children, to wins friends and influence people; above all, to follow Jesus Christ.
727. Luk 11:9,“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
Note: This is the secret of success: ASK, SEEK, KNOCK. If all my students, remember this, they will be doing all right.
728. Luk 11:10, “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.”
729. Luk 11:11, “Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?”
730. Luk 11:12, “Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?”
731. Luk 11:13, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”
732. Luk 11:17, “Any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste; and a house divided against itself falls.”
Note: Jesus is Omniscient, He knows our thoughts and our hearts.
733. Luk 11:18, “If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say that I cast out demons by Beelzebul.”
Note: It appears the kingdom of Satan is more united than the kingdoms of men.
734. Luk 11:19, “And if I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? So they will be your judges.”
735. Luk 11:20, “But if I cast out demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you.”
736. Luk 11:21, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are undisturbed.”
737. Luk 11:22, “But when someone stronger than he attacks him and overpowers him, he takes away from him all his armor on which he had relied and distributes his plunder.”
738. Luk 11:23, “He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me, scatters.”
Note: This is the clear principle of taking sides. He who is not with Jesus is against Jesus. He who does not gather with Jesus, scatters. I have discovered there are plentiful of people whose ability is only to scatter all their lives. They lie, kill, steal, and rob.
739. Luk 11:24, “When the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and not finding any, it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’
740. Luk 11:25, “And when it comes, it finds it swept and put in order.”
741. Luk 11:26, “Then it goes and takes along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first.”
Note: Even among evil spirits there are spirits more evil.
742. Luk 11:28, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it.”
Note: Truths are often contrary to many human opinions. Blessed are those who hear the Word of God and observe it. They are more blessed than what the whole world aspire the rich and powerful!
743. Luk 11:29, “This generation is a wicked generation; it seeks for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.”
744. Luk 11:30, “For just as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.”
745. Luk 11:31, “The Queen of the South will rise up with the men of this generation at the judgment and condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.”
746. Luk 11:32, “The men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and condemn it, because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, something greater than Jonah is here.”
747. Luk 11:33, “No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.”
748. Luk 11:34, “The eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is clear, your whole body also is full of light; but when it is bad, your body also is full of darkness.”
749. Luk 11:35, “Then watch out that the light in you is not darkness.”
750. Luk 11:36, “If therefore your whole body is full of light, with no dark part in it, it will be wholly illumined, as when the lamp illumines you with its rays.”
751. Luk 11:39, “Now you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup and of the platter; but inside of you, you are full of robbery and wickedness.”
752. Luk 11:40, “You foolish ones, did not He who made the outside make the inside also?”
753. Luk 11:41, “But give that which is within as charity, and then all things are clean for you.”
754. Luk 11:42, “But woe to you Pharisees! For you pay tithe of mint and rue and every kind of garden herb, and yet disregard justice and the love of God; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.”
755. Luk 11:43, “Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the chief seats in the synagogues and the respectful greetings in the market places.”
756. Luk 11:44, “Woe to you! For you are like concealed tombs, and the people who walk over them are unaware of it.”
757. Luk 11:45, “Teacher, when You say this, You insult us too.”
Note: American preachers including Billy Graham did not preach against the sins of American presidents fearing to insult them. Jesus was not afraid of anyone and pronounced woes to Pharisees and lawyers!
758. Luk 11:46, “Woe to you lawyers as well! For you weigh men down with burdens hard to bear, while you yourselves will not even touch the burdens with one of your fingers.”
759. Luk 11:47, “Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and it was your fathers who killed them.”
760. Luk 11:48, “So you are witnesses and approve the deeds of your fathers; because it was they who killed them, and you build their tombs.”
761. Luk 11:49, “For this reason also the wisdom of God said, ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles, and some of them they will kill and some they will persecute,”
762. Luk 11:50, “so that the blood of all the prophets, shed since the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation,”
763. Luk 11:51, “from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who was killed between the altar and the house of God; yes, I tell you, it shall be charged against this generation.’”
764. Luk 11:52, “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge; you yourselves did not enter, and you hindered those who were entering.”
Note: The key of knowledge is the knowledge of the Kingdom of God.
765. Luk 12:1, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.”
Note: Jesus defines what He says. The leaven of the Pharisees is hypocrisy. The leaven (sourdough) of the Pharisees has permeated the white race nations (EU, UK, NATO, AMERICA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, ETC.) for THOUSAND of years to this day.
766. Luk 12:2, “But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.”
Note: Almost every crime and sin of Western nations are revealed and made know to this day. They will lay open in the Day of Judgement.
767. Luk 12:3, “Accordingly, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in the inner rooms will be proclaimed upon the housetops.”
768. Luk 12:4, “I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that have no more that they can do.”
Note: The devil, his agents, the wicked can kill the body–do not be afraid of them; but God can kill both body and soul in Hell.
769. Luk 12:5, “But I will warn you whom to fear: fear the One who, after He has killed, has authority to cast into Hell; yes, I tell you, fear Him!”
770. Luk 12:6, “Are not five sparrows sold for two cents? Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.”
Note: God has not forgotten sparrows, how can God forget you?
771. Luk 12:7, “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.”
Note: God has numbered the very hairs of our heads. 772. Luk 12:8, “And I say to you, everyone who confesses Me before men, the Son of Man will confess him also before the angels of God;”
Note: If you deny Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ will also deny you.
773. Luk 12:9, “but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.”
Note: Why it is important before the angels of God? When the angels sort out the righteous from the wicked, the angels will recognize you as the wicked.
774. Luk 12:10, “And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.”
Note: I am not sure whether those who lie against the truth blaspheme against the Holy Spirit of not. I know whoever blasphemes against Jesus Christ blasphemes against the Holy Spirit.
775. Luk 12:11, “When they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you are to speak in your defense, or what you are to say;”
776. Luk 12:12, “for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”
Note: Somehow most church goers do not know to be taught by the Holy Spirit is better than to study under the greatest theologian.
777. Luk 12:14, “Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?”
Note: American, EU, NATO, UK, Canada, Australia, etc. Appoint themselves to the judge and arbitrator, police and executor over nations.
778. Luk 12:15, “Beware, and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.”
Note: Executives of Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, military-industrial-security-complex practice a form of greed; corrupt doctors, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, labs and medical suppliers practice another form of greed. Lawyers and monopolists, etc. practice another form of greed. They all believe life consists of possessions (money, power, and sex).
779. Luk 12:16, “The land of a rich man was very productive.”
780. Luk 12:17, “And he began reasoning to himself, saying, ‘What shall I do, since I have no place to store my crops?’
781. Luk 12:18,“Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.”
782. Luk 12:19, ‘And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry.”’
783. Luk 12:20, “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your soul is required of you; and now who will own what you have prepared?’”
Note: The wisest of man does not know that God calls him, ‘You fool”
784. Luk 12:21, “So is the man who stores up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.”
Note: There are three groups of peoples: those who are poor and have nothing; those who store up treasure for themselves but not rich toward God; and those who are rich toward God.
785. Luk 12:22,“For this reason I say to you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.”
786. Luk 12:23, “For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.”
Note: There are those who live for food; and there are women who consider clothing more than their body.
787. Luk 12:24, “Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap; they have no storeroom nor barn, and yet God feeds them; how much more valuable you are than the birds!”
788. Luk 12:25, “And which of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life’s span?”
Note: Worrying is the most useless activity, it cannot add a single hour to your life’s span, but it can turn your black hair into gray. According to
https://www.webmd.com/balance/guide/how-worrying-affects-your-body#1 “Worrying is feeling uneasy or being overly concerned about a situation or problem. With excessive worrying, your mind and body go into overdrive as you constantly focus on “what might happen.” In the midst of excessive worrying, you may suffer with high anxiety — even panic — during waking hours. Many chronic worriers tell of feeling a sense of impending doom or unrealistic fears that only increase their worries. Ultra-sensitive to their environment and to the criticism of others, excessive worriers may see anything — and anyone — as a potential threat.Chronic worrying can affect your daily life so much that it may interfere with your appetite, lifestyle habits, relationships, sleep, and job performance. Many people who worry excessively are so anxiety-ridden that they seek relief in harmful lifestyle habits such as overeating, cigarette smoking, or using alcohol and drugs.”
789. Luk 12:26, “If then you cannot do even a very little thing, why do you worry about other matters?”
Note: Ask the greatest scientist can he add a single hour to his life’s span? In God’s view, this is a very little thing. Man is so helpless. The things that matter we do not have control. How stupid and foolish are white and black supremacists who think they can control the world!
790. Luk 12:27, “Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.”
Note: The lilies clothe themselves in more glory than even Solomon.
791. Luk 12:28,“But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!”
Note: Once I was traveling in Denmark, I was impressed with the beauty of the field like a sea of yellow flowers.
792. Luk 12:29, “And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying.”
Note: I was born a worrying type, thank God He cares for me.
793. Luk 12:30, “For all these things the nations of the world eagerly seek; but your Father knows that you need these things.”
Note: I do not see nations that cannot feed, clothe, house, and educate themselves seek eagerly to improve. Caravans of illegal migrants want to invade Europe and America thinking they can live on welfare. I was young but now I am old, I thank my Heavenly Father who takes care of me all these years.
794. Luk 12:31, “But seek His Kingdom, and these things will be added to you.”
Note: The peoples of nations are so stupid, they do not seek the first thing first.
795. Luk 12:32, “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.”
Note: There are many blessings being children of God, one of them is not to be afraid, our Father has chosen gladly to give us the Kingdom. Followers of Jesus are the little flock.
796. Luk 12:33, “Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.”
Note: Treasure in Heaven is unfailing and cannot wear out.
797. Luk 12:34, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Note: This is a great truth of Christ: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Where is your treasure, and where is your heart?
798. Luk 12:35, “Be dressed in readiness, and keep your lamps lit.”
Note: Why keep your lamps lit? When darkness falls, you can see. Readiness is a condition of every serious person.
799. Luk 12:36, “Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.”
800. Luk 12:37, “Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.”
801. Luk 12:38, “Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.”
802. Luk 12:39, “But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have allowed his house to be broken into.”
803. Luk 12:40, “You too, be ready; for the Son of Man is coming at an hour that you do not expect.”
804. Luk 12:42, “Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?”
805. Luk 12:43,“Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.”
806. Luk 12:44, “Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.”
807. Luk 12:45, “But if that slave says in his heart, ‘My master will be a long time in coming,’ and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;”
808. Luk 12:46, “the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.”
809. Luk 12:47, “And that slave who knew his master’s will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes,”
810. Luk 12:48, “but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more.”
811. Luk 12:49, “I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!”
812. Luk 12:50, “But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is accomplished!”
813. Luk 12:51, “Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;”
814. Luk 12:52, “for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.”
815. Luk 12:53, “They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”
816. Luk 12:54, “When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and so it turns out.”
817. Luk 12:55, “And when you see a south wind blowing, you say, ‘It will be a hot day,’ and it turns out that way.”
818. Luk 12:56, “You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?”
819. Luk 12:57, “And why do you not even on your own initiative judge what is right?”
820. Luk 12:58,“For while you are going with your opponent to appear before the magistrate, on your way there make an effort to settle with him, so that he may not drag you before the judge, and the judge turn you over to the officer, and the officer throw you into prison.”
821. Luk 12:59,“I say to you, you will not get out of there until you have paid the very last cent.”
822. Luk 13:2, “Do you suppose that these Galileans were greater sinners than all other Galileans because they suffered this fate?”
823. Luk 13:3, “I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
824. Luk 13:4,“Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?”
825. Luk 13:5,“I tell you, no, but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish.”
826. Luk 13:6, “A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.”
827. Luk 13:7, “And he said to the vineyard-keeper, ‘Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?’”
828. Luk 13:8, “And he answered and said to him, ‘Let it alone, sir, for this year too, until I dig around it and put in fertilizer;”
829. Luk 13:9, “and if it bears fruit next year, fine; but if not, cut it down.’”
830. Luk 13:12, “Woman, you are freed from your sickness.”
831. Luk 13:15, “You hypocrites, does not each of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his donkey from the stall and lead him away to water him?”
832. Luk 13:16, “And this woman, a daughter of Abraham as she is, whom Satan has bound for eighteen long years, should she not have been released from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
833. Luk 13:18, “What is the Kingdom of God like, and to what shall I compare it?”
834. Luk 13:19, “It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES.”
835. Luk 13:20, And again He said, “To what shall I compare the Kingdom of God?”
836. Luk 13:21, “It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three pecks of flour until it was all leavened.”
837. Luk 13:24,“Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.”
Note: To follow Jesus is a serious matter, we need to “strive.”
838. Luk 13:25, “Once the head of the house gets up and shuts the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock on the door, saying, ‘Lord, open up to us!’ then He will answer and say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’”
839. Luk 13:26, “Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets’;”
840. Luk 13:27, and He will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.’”
841. Luk 13:28, “In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God, but yourselves being thrown out.”
Note: Hell is a real Place where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
842. Luk 13:29, “And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the Kingdom of God.”
843. Luk 13:30, “And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last.”
844. Luk 13:32,“Go and tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I reach My goal.’”
845. Luk 13:33,“Nevertheless I must journey on today and tomorrow and the next day; for it cannot be that a prophet would perish outside of Jerusalem.”
846. Luk 13:34,“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, just as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not have it!”
847. Luk 13:35, “Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THELORD!’”
848. Luk 14:3,“Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”
849. Luk 14:5,“Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?”

851. Luk 14:9, “and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give your place to this man,’ and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.”
852. Luk 14:10,“But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.”
853. Luk 14:11, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
854. Luk 14:12, “When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.”
855. Luk 14:13, “But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,”
856. Luk 14:14, “and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”
857. Luk 14:16, “A man was giving a big dinner, and he invited many;”
858. Luk 14:17, “and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, ‘Come; for everything is ready now.’
859. Luk 14:18, “But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, ‘I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it; please consider me excused.’”
860. Luk 14:19, “Another one said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.’”

865. Luk 14:24, ‘For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.’”
866. Luk 14:26, “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.”
Note: The interpretation of Luk 14:26 is found in Luk 14:27, it simply means you cannot love anyone or anything above or more than the Lord.
867. Luk 14:27, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.”
868. Luk 14:28, “For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?”
869. Luk 14:29, “Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him,”
870. Luk 14:30, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’:
871. Luk 14:31, “Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?”
872. Luk 14:32, “Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace.”
873. Luk 14:33, “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.”
874. Luk 14:34, “Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?”
875. Luk 14:35, “It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
876. Luk 15:4, “What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?”

878. Luk 15:6, “And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!’”
879. Luk 15:7, “I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in Heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
880. Luk 15:8, “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it?”
881. Luk 15:9, “When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’”
882. Luk 15:10, “In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
884. Luk 15:12, “The younger of them said to his father, ‘Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.’ So he divided his wealth between them.”
885. Luk 15:13, “And not many days later, the younger son gathered everything together and went on a journey into a distant country, and there he squandered his estate with loose living.”
886. Luk 15:14, “Now when he had spent everything, a severe famine occurred in that country, and he began to be impoverished.”

888. Luk 15:16,“And he would have gladly filled his stomach with the pods that the swine were eating, and no one was giving anything to him.”
889. Luk 15:17, “But when he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!”
890. Luk 15:18, ‘I will get up and go to my father, and will say to him, “Father, I have sinned against Heaven, and in your sight;”
891. Luk 15:19, “I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men.”’
892. Luk 15:20, “So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.”
893. Luk 15:21, ‘Father, I have sinned against Heaven and in your sight; I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
894. Luk 15:22, “But the father said to his slaves, ‘Quickly bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet;”
895. Luk 15:23, “and bring the fattened calf, kill it, and let us eat and celebrate;”
896. Luk 15:24, “for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.’ And they began to celebrate.”
897. Luk 15:25, “Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.”
898. Luk 15:26, “And he summoned one of the servants and began inquiring what these things could be.”
899. Luk 15:27, “And he said to him, ‘Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.’”
900. Luk 15:28,“But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.”
901. Luk 15:29, “But he answered and said to his father, ‘Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;”
902. Luk 15:30, “but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.’”
903. Luk 15:31, “And he said to him, ‘Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.”
904. Luk 15:32, ‘But we had to celebrate and rejoice, for this brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found.’”
905. Luk 16:1, “There was a rich man who had a manager, and this manager was reported to him as squandering his possessions.”
906. Luk 16:2, “And he called him and said to him, ‘What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’”
907. Luk 16:3, “The manager said to himself, ‘What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.”
908. Luk 16:4, ‘I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.’”
909. Luk 16:5, “And he summoned each one of his master’s debtors, and he began saying to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’”
910. Luk 16:6,“And he said, ‘A hundred measures of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’”
911. Luk 16:7, “Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ He *said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’”

929. Luk 16:26,‘And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’”
930. Luk 16:27, “And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house—”

1,026. Luk 20:13, “The owner of the vineyard said, ‘What shall I do? I will send my beloved Son; perhaps they will respect him.’”
1,027. Luk 20:14,“But when the vine-growers saw him, they reasoned with one another, saying, ‘This is the heir; let us kill him so that the inheritance will be ours.’”
1,028. Luk 20:15,“So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him. What, then, will the owner of the vineyard do to them?”
1,029. Luk 20:16, “He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others.” When they heard it, they said, “May it never be!”

1,033. Luk 20:25,“Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”
Note: This is the famous truth that Jesus demarcates the division of Caesar’s and God’s, between the secular and the sacred.
1,034. Luk 20:34,“The sons of this age marry and are given in marriage,”
1,035. Luk 20:35, “but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage;”
1,036. Luk 20:36, “for they cannot even die anymore, because they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.”

1,042. Luk 20:44, “Therefore David calls Him ‘Lord,’ and how is He his son?”

1,045. Luk 21:3,“Truly I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all of them;”

1,066. Luk 21:26, “men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the Heavens will be shaken.”

1,073. Luk 21:33, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My Words will not pass away.”

1,091. Luk 22:27, “For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”
1,092. Luk 22:28, “You are those who have stood by Me in My trials;”

1,188.Jhn 5:20, “For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He Himself is doing; and the Father will show Him greater works than these, so that you will marvel.”
1,189. Jhn 5:21, “For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom He wishes.”
1,190. Jhn 5:22, “For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,”
1,191. Jhn 5:23, so that all will honor the Son even as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”
1,192. Jhn 5:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.”
1,193. Jhn 5:25,“Truly, truly, I say to you, the hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”
1,194. Jhn 5:26, “For just as the Father has life in Himself, even so He gave to the Son also to have life in Himself;”
1,195. Jhn 5:27, “and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.”
Note: When Jesus executes judgment, who can escape???
1,196. Jhn 5:28,“Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice,”
1,197. Jhn 5:29, “and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.”
Note: God knows all the evil deeds that Western nations and their leaders and politicians have done for hundreds of years in this world.
1,198.Jhn 5:30, “I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”

1,200. Jhn 5:32, “There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.”

1,201. Jhn 5:33, “You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.”
1,202. Jhn 5:34, “But the testimony which I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.”
1,203. Jhn 5:35, “He was the lamp that was burning and was shining and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light.”
1,204. Jhn 5:36, “But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works that I do—testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.”
Note: John the Baptist was not the Christ, Jesus is the Christ, the Savior.
1,205. Jhn 5:37, “And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.”
1,206. Jhn 5:38, “You do not have His Word abiding in you, for you do not believe Him whom He sent.”
1,207. Jhn 5:39, “You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;”
1,208. Jhn 5:40, “and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.”
1,209. Jhn 5:41, “I do not receive glory from men;”
1,210. Jhn 5:42, “but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.”
1,211. Jhn 5:43, “I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.”
1,212. Jhn 5:44,“How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?”
1,213. Jhn 5:45, “Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father; the one who accuses you is Moses, in whom you have set your hope.”
1,214. Jhn 5:46, “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.”
1,215. Jhn 5:47, “But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My Words?”
1,216. Jhn 6:5, “Where are we to buy bread, so that these may eat?”
Note: When the Lord is present, you have nothing to fear.
1,220. Jhn 6:26, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw miracles, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.”
Note: There are people who join churches with ulterior motives.
1,221. Jhn 6:27, “Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you, for on Him the Father, God, has set His seal.”
1,222. Jhn 6:29, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.”
Note: This is a great truth of Christ: To believe in Him whom God has sent is the work of God. To believe is to do the work of God.
1,223. Jhn 6:32, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread out of Heaven, but it is My Father who gives you the true bread out of Heaven.”
1,224. Jhn 6:33, “For the Bread of God is that which comes down out of Heaven, and gives life to the world.”
1,225. Jhn 6:35, “I AM the Bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.”
1,226. Jhn 6:36, “But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.”
1,227. Jhn 6:37, “All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.”
Note: Do not believe John Calvin; believe in Jesus Christ that whoever comes to Jesus, He will certainly not cast you out.
1,228. Jhn 6:38, “For I have come down from Heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.”
1,229. Jhn 6:39, “This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.”
1,230. Jhn 6:40,“For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day.”
1,231. Jhn 6:43, “Do not grumble among yourselves.”
1,232. Jhn 6:44, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.”

1,235. Jhn 6:47, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes has eternal life.”
1,237. Jhn 6:49, “Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.”
1,238. Jhn 6:50, “This is the Bread which comes down out of Heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.”
1,239.Jhn 6:51, “I AM the living Bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh.”
1,240. Jhn 6:53, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in yourselves.”
1,241. Jhn 6:54, “He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.”
1,242. Jhn 6:55, “For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.”
1,243. Jhn 6:56,“He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.”
1,244. Jhn 6:57, “As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.”
1,245. Jhn 6:58, “This is the Bread which came down out of Heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever.”
1,246. Jhn 6:61, “Does this cause you to stumble?”
1,247. Jhn 6:62, “What then if you see the Son of Man ascending to where He was before?”
1,248. Jhn 6:63, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the Words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.”
1,249. Jhn 6:64, “But there are some of you who do not believe.”
1,250. Jhn 6:65, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.”
1,251. Jhn 6:67, “You do not want to go away also, do you?”
1,252. Jhn 6:70, “Did I Myself not choose you, the twelve, and yet one of you is a devil?”
1,253. Jhn 7:6, “My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.”
1,254. Jhn 7:7, “The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.”
Note: If you testify the deeds of the world are evil, the world hates you.
1,255. Jhn 7:8, “Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.”
1,256.Jhn 7:16, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.”
1,257. Jhn 7:17, “If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.”
1,258. Jhn 7:18, “He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.”
1,259. Jhn 7:19, “Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
1,260. Jhn 7:21, “I did one deed, and you all marvel.”
1,261. Jhn 7:22, “For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.”
1,262. Jhn 7:23, “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?”
1,263. Jhn 7:24, “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
1,264.Jhn 7:28, “You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.”
1,265. Jhn 7:29, “I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
1,266. Jhn 7:33, “For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.”

1,271.Jhn 8:10, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?”

1,273. Jhn 8:12, “I AM the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

1,275. Jhn 8:15, “You judge according to the flesh; I AM not judging anyone.”
1,276. Jhn 8:16, “But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I AM not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.”
1,277. Jhn 8:17, “Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.”
1,278. Jhn 8:18, “I AM He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

1,281. Jhn 8:23,“You are from below, I AM from above; you are of this world, I AM not of this world.”
1,282. Jhn 8:24, “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM He, you will die in your sins.”
1,283. Jhn 8:25, “What have I been saying to you from the beginning?”
1,284. Jhn 8:26, “I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world.”
1,285. Jhn 8:28, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I AM He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.”
1,286.Jhn 8:29, “And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him.”
1,287. Jhn 8:31, “If you continue in My Word, then you are truly disciples of Mine;”
1,288. Jhn 8:32, “and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”
Note: The truth of Christ is the greatest and most precious in this world.
1,289. Jhn 8:34, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.”
1,290. Jhn 8:35, “The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son does remain forever.”
1,291. Jhn 8:36, “So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.”
1,292. Jhn 8:37, “I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you.”
1,293. Jhn 8:38, “I speak the things which I have seen with My Father; therefore you also do the things which you heard from your father.”
1,294. Jhn 8:39, “If you are Abraham’s children, do the deeds of Abraham.”
1,295. Jhn 8:40, “But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.”
1,296.Jhn 8:41, “You are doing the deeds of your father.”
1,297. Jhn 8:42, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.”
1,298. Jhn 8:43, “Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot hear My Word.”
1,299. Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks alie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
1,300. Jhn 8:45, “But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.”
1,301. Jhn 8:46, “Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?”
1,302. Jhn 8:47, “He who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
1,303. Jhn 8:49, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.”

1,306. Jhn 8:54, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God’;
1,307. Jhn 8:55, “and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His Word.”
1,308. Jhn 8:56, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”
1,309. Jhn 8:58, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.” 1,310. Jhn 9:3, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the Works of God might be displayed in him.”

1,314. Jhn 9:35, “Do you believe in the Son of God?” 1,315. Jhn 9:37, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.”
1,316. Jhn 9:39, “For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind.”
1,317. Jhn 9:41, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.” 1,318. Jhn 10:1, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.”
1,319. Jhn 10:2, “But he who enters by the door is a shepherd of the sheep.”
1,320. Jhn 10:3, “To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.”
1,321. Jhn 10:4, “When he puts forth all his own, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they know his voice.”
1,322. Jhn 10:5, “A stranger they simply will not follow, but will flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.”
1,323. Jhn 10:7, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep.”
1,324. Jhn 10:8, “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.”
1,325. Jhn 10:9, “I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
1,326. Jhn 10:10, “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”
Note: Western nations and its leaders have stolen and killed and destroyed for hundreds of years in this world.
1,327. Jhn 10:11, “I AM the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
1,328. Jhn 10:12, “He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them.”
1,329. Jhn 10:13, “He flees because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep.”
1,330. Jhn 10:14, “I AM the good Shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,”
1,331. Jhn 10:15, “even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
1,332.Jhn 10:16, “I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one Shepherd.”
1,333. Jhn 10:17, “For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.”
1334. Jhn 10:18, “No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
1,335. Jhn 10:25, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me.”
1,336. Jhn 10:26,“But you do not believe because you are not of My sheep.”
Note: Don’t be surprised that some people do not believe, because they are not Jesus’ sheep.
1,337. Jhn 10:27, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;”
Note: The proof that you are Jesus’ sheep: you hear His voice, and Jesus knows you, and you follow Jesus.
1,338. Jhn 10:28, “and I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.”
Note: Jesus gives Christians eternal life and eternal salvation.
1,339. Jhn 10:29, “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.”
Note: The relationship between the Father and the Son is the most holy, glorious, wonderful and eternal.
1,341. Jhn 10:32, “I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?”
1,342. Jhn 10:34,“Has it not been written in your Law, ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?”
1,343. Jhn 10:35, “If he called them gods, to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),”
1,344. Jhn 10:36, “do you say of Him, whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”
1,345. Jhn 10:37, “If I do not do the Works of My Father, do not believe Me;”
1,346. Jhn 10:38, “but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
1,347. Jhn 11:4, “This sickness is not to end in death, but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified by it.”
1,364. Jhn 12:7, “Let her alone, so that she may keep it for the day of My burial.”
1,365. Jhn 12:8, “For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me.”
1,366. Jhn 12:23, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.”
1,367. Jhn 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.”
1,368. Jhn 12:25, “He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to life eternal.”
1,369. Jhn 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.”
Note: To follow Jesus is to serve Jesus. God will honor those who serve Jesus.
1,370. Jhn 12:27, “Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour.”
Note: God has a purpose for every Christian in this world. Do you know?
1,372. Jhn 12:30, “This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.”
1,373. Jhn 12:31, “Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.”
Note: The devil is now the ruler of this world. Many are his agents.
1,374. Jhn 12:32, “And I, if I AM lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself.”
1,375. Jhn 12:35, “For a little while longer the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that darkness will not overtake you; he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.”
Note: Believers walk in the Light, unbelievers walk in the darkness.
1,376. Jhn 12:36, “While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light.”
Note: Christians believe in the Light and they become sons of Light.
1,377. Jhn 12:44,“He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.”
Note: To believe in Jesus is to believe in God. Father and Son are ONE.
1,378. Jhn 12:45, “He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.”
Note: To see Jesus is to see God.
1,379. Jhn 12:46, “I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.”
1,380. Jhn 12:47, “If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.”
Note: The Sayings of Jesus are the Words of Jesus.
1,381. Jhn 12:48, “He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the Word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.”
1,382. Jhn 12:49, “For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.”
1,383. Jhn 12:50, “I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me.”
1,384. Jhn 13:7, “What I do you do not realize now, but you will understand hereafter.”
Note: Spiritual knowledge is progressive; hereafter is different from now.
1,385. Jhn 13:8, “If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me.”
Note: To be cleansed by the blood of Jesus is to have part with Jesus.
1,386. Jhn 13:10, “He who has bathed needs only to wash his feet, but is completely clean; and you are clean, but not all of you.”
Note: Those who betray or deny the Lord are not clean.
1,388. Jhn 13:12, “Do you know what I have done to you?”
1,389. Jhn 13:13, “You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I AM.”
Note: Among other things, Jesus is our Teacher and Lord.
1,390. Jhn 13:14, “If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.”
1,391. Jhn 13:15,“For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.”
Note: Jesus gave us an example that we also should do as Jesus did to us.
1,392. Jhn 13:16, “Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not greater than his master, nor is one who is sent greater than the one who sent him.”
Note: Who is greater is clear.
1,393. Jhn 13:17, “If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”
Note: Those who do the Words of Jesus are blessed.
1,394. Jhn 13:18, “I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ‘HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.’
1,395. Jhn 13:19, “From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I AM He.”
Note: True prophesy has value because it will come to pass or occur.
1,396. Jhn 13:20, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”
Note: This is the truth of representation: He who receives whomever Jesus sends receives Jesus; and he who receives Jesus receives God who sent Jesus.
1,397. Jhn 13:21, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.”
1,398. Jhn 13:26, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.”
Note: People who do not have the Holy Spirit in them are in danger of Satan entering into them.
1,400. Jhn 13:31, “Now is the Son of Man glorified, and God is glorified in Him;”
1,401. Jhn 13:32, “if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.”
1,402. Jhn 13:33, “Little children, I AM with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’
Note: Jesus sometimes calls His followers, ‘Little Flock’ or ‘Little children.”
1,403. Jhn 13:34, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
Note: Jesus gives a new commandment to His followers, that we love one another, even as Jesus has loved us, that we also love one another.
1,404. Jhn 13:35, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
Note: By Christians loving one another, all men will know that we are the disciples of Jesus Christ. Conflict, division, hatred do not obey the new commandment of Jesus Christ.
1,405. Jhn 13:36,“Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later.”
Note: All disciples of Jesus Christ will follow Him later to Heaven. 1,406. Jhn 13:38, “Will you lay down your life for Me? Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.”
1,407. Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.”
Note: If you believe in God and believe also in Jesus, do not let your heart be troubled.
1,408. Jhn 14:2, “In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.”
Note: The Most Expensive Mansion is Antilla, $1B, in my view it is not beautiful. I am sure the Mansions above are more beautiful than Antilla.
1,409. Jhn 14:3,“If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.”
Note: Heaven is a place; Hell is also a real place but place of suffering.
1,410.Jhn 14:4, “And you know the way where I am going.”
1,411. Jhn 14:6, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
Note: I believe this is the Manifesto of Jesus Christ to the whole world.
1,412. Jhn 14:7, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
Note: To know Jesus Christ is to know God. To see Jesus Christ is to see God.
1,413. Jhn 14:9, “Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?”
1,414. Jhn 14:10, “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?The Words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.”
Note: This is the greatest mystery of all: Jesus Christ is in the Father, and the Father is in Jesus Christ.
1,415. Jhn 14:11,“Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.”
Note: Yes, Lord, I believe; I also believe the Works of Jesus.
1,416. Jhn 14:12, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.”
1,417. Jhn 14:13, “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
1,418. Jhn 14:14, “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.”
1,419. Jhn 14:15, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
Note: To love Jesus is to keep His commandments.
1,420. Jhn 14:16, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter, that He may be with you forever;”
1,421. Jhn 14:17, “that is the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.”
Note: How can the white and black supremacists who lie, kill, and rob claim to be Christians since they do not have the Spirit of Truth?
1,422. Jhn 14:18, “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
Note: Christians are not orphans.
1,423. Jhn 14:19, “After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.”
Note: Because my Redeemer lives, I will live also.
1,424. Jhn 14:20, “In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.”
Note: This is the second mystery: The Son is in the Father, and believers are in Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ is in believers.
1,425. Jhn 14:21,“He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.”
Note: This is the Law of Reciprocity: He who loves Jesus keeps His commandments, and he who loves Jesus will be loved by the Father, and Jesus will love him and disclose Himself to him.
1,426. Jhn 14:23, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.”
1,427. Jhn 14:24, “He who does not love Me does not keep My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.”
1,428. Jhn 14:25, “These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you.“
1,429. Jhn 14:26, “But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.”
Note: The Comforter in Greek is paraklētoswhich means advocate; helper; pleader; assistant; intercessor; consoler; – which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter of Christians.
The Holy Spirit will teach you all things, not your pastor or theologian.
1,430. Jhn 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.”
Note: If you have the peace of Jesus Christ, your heart will not be troubled, nor will it be fearful.
1,431. Jhn 14:28, ‘I go away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.”
1,432. Jhn 14:29, “Now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.”
1,433. Jhn 14:30, “I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;”
Note: If you have the Holy Spirit, the devil has nothing in you.
1,434. Jhn 14:31, “but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.”
1,435.Jhn 15:1, “I AM the true Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser.”
1,436. Jhn 15:2, “Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.”
1,437. Jhn 15:3, “You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you.”
Note: The Words of Jesus have cleansing power.
1,438. Jhn 15:4, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”
Note: Abide in Greek is menōwhich means to remain; to dwell; to continue; to endure; to persevere; to persist; – which occurs 118 times in the New Testament. Christians cannot depart from Christ.
1,439. Jhn 15:5, “I AM the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.”
1,440. Jhn 15:6, “If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.”
1,441. Jhn 15:7, “If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.”
1,442. Jhn 15:8, “My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.”
1,443. Jhn 15:9, “Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.”
1,444. Jhn 15:10, “If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.”
1,445. Jhn 15:11, “These things I have spoken to you so that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be made full.”
1,446. Jhn 15:12,“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.”
1,447. Jhn 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.”
1,448. Jhn 15:14, “You are My friends if you do what I command you.”
Note: Those who do what Jesus commands are raised from disciples to friends.
1,449. Jhn 15:15, “No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
1,450. Jhn 15:16, “You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.”
1,451. Jhn 15:17, “This I command you, that you love one another.”
1,452. Jhn 15:18, “If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.”
1,453. Jhn 15:19,“If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.”
1,454. Jhn 15:20, “Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My Word, they will keep yours also.”
1,455. Jhn 15:21, “But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.”
1,456. Jhn 15:22, “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.”
1,457. Jhn 15:23, “He who hates Me hates My Father also.”
1,458. Jhn 15:24, “If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.”
1,459. Jhn 15:25, “But they have done this to fulfill the Word that is written in their Law, ‘THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.’
1,460. Jhn 15:26, “When the Comforter comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,He will testify about Me,”
1,461. Jhn 15:27, “and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.”
1,462. Jhn 16:1, “These things I have spoken to you so that you may be kept from stumbling.”
1,463. Jhn 16:2, “They will make you outcasts from the synagogue, but the hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering service to God.”
1,464. Jhn 16:3, “These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.”
1,465. Jhn 16:4, “But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.”
1,466. Jhn 16:5, “But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’”
1,467. Jhn 16:6, “But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.”
1,468. Jhn 16:7, “But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.”
1,469. Jhn 16:8, “And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;”
1,470. Jhn 16:9, “concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;”
Note: Do not believe in Jesus Christ is sin which may send a person to Hell.
1.471. Jhn 16:10, “and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;”
1,472. Jhn 16:11, “and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.”
1,473. Jhn 16:12, “I have many more things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.”
Note: Even spiritual knowledge is progressive, we may not bear them now.
1,474. Jhn 16:13, “But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.”
Note: The Spirit of Truth will guide us into all the truth, do not be misled by theologian or philosopher. Prophesy deals what is to come.
1,475. Jhn 16:14, “He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
1,476.Jhn 16:15, “All things that the Father has are Mine; therefore I said that He takes of Mine and will disclose it to you.”
1,477. Jhn 16:16, “A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me.”
Note: We are still waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ, but to Jesus who is God it is just “a little while.”
1,478. Jhn 16:19, “Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, “Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me’?”
1,479. Jhn 16:20, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.”
1,480. Jhn 16:21, “Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.”
1,481. Jhn 16:22, “Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.”
1,482. Jhn 16:23, “In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.”
1,483. Jhn 16:24,“Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.”
1,484. Jhn 16:25, “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; the hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but will tell you plainly of the Father.
Note: It is important that Jesus has spoken in figurative language and plain language. No one can misinterpret Jesus’ plain language.
1,485. Jhn 16:26, “In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;”
1,486. Jhn 16:27, “for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.”
1,487. Jhn 16:28, “I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father.”
1,489. Jhn 16:32, “Behold, the hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.”
1,490. Jhn 16:33, “These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
1,491. Jhn 17:1, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,”
Note: The most important thing is to glorify God.
1,492. Jhn 17:2, “even as You gave Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life.”
Note: God gave Jesus Christ authority over all flesh, including the American presidents, prime ministers of UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, and Arab kings, etc.
1,493. Jhn 17:3,“This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
Note: To know the only true God and Jesus Christ is eternal life.
1,494. Jhn 17:4, “I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.”
Note: The work which Christ did was the work of God. The work of Christ was the saving work, while the Holy Spirit is doing the sanctifying work.
1,495. Jhn 17:5, “Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”
1,496. Jhn 17:6, “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your Word.”
Note: God gave Jesus Christ followers out of the world, and they have kept the Word of God.
1,497. Jhn 17:7, “Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;”
1,498. Jhn 17:8, “for the Words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.”
Note: The Words of Jesus are the Words of God, and Christians received them and truly understood that Jesus came forth from God.
1,499. Jhn 17:9,“I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;”
1,500. Jhn 17:10, “and all things that are Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine; and I have been glorified in them.”
1,501. Jhn 17:11, “I AM no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.”
1,502. Jhn 17:12, “While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.”
Note: Judas the traitor was the son of perdition.
1,503. Jhn 17:13, “But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.”
1,504. Jhn 17:14,“I have given them Your Word; and the world has hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
1,505. Jhn 17:15, “I do not ask You to take them out of the world, but to keep them from the evil one.”
Note: The evil one is the devil or Satan.
1,506. Jhn 17:16, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
Note: Christian Nationalism is not possible because Christians are not of the world even as Christ is not of the world.
1,507. Jhn 17:17, “Sanctify them in the truth; Your Word is truth.”
Note: The Word of God is truth and can sanctify believers.
1,508. Jhn 17:18, “As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.”
1,509. Jhn 17:19, “For their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth.”
Note: The Word of God is truth and Christians are sanctified in truth.
1,510. Jhn 17:20,“I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;”
1,511. Jhn 17:21, “that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.”
1,512. Jhn 17:22, “The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;”
Note: Father and Son are ONE. The ONENESS between Father and Son is beyond human comprehension. It is the perfect UNITY.
1,513. Jhn 17:23, “I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.’
Note: When Christians are perfected in unity, Christians are perfected.
1,514. Jhn 17:24, “Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.”
Note: Christians will be with Christ where He is, and that is Heaven.
1,515. Jhn 17:25, “O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;”
Note: Not only we have our Heavenly Father, He is also Righteous Father.
1,516. Jhn 17:26, “and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.”
1,520. Jhn 18:8, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
1,521. Jhn 18:11, “Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”
1,522. Jhn 18:20, “I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.”
Note: The false teachers said Jesus had secret messages. Wrong. Jesus has spoken openly to the world. Jesus spoke nothing in secret.
1,523. Jhn 18:21, “Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said.”
1,524. Jhn 18:23, “If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?”
1,525. Jhn 18:34, “Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?”
1,526. Jhn 18:36, Jesus answered, “My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My Kingdom is not of this realm.”
Note: The Kingdom of Jesus is not of this world, not of this realm; therefore there is no such a thing called Christian Nation or Christian Nationalism or Christendom.
1,527. Jhn 18:37, Jesus answered, “You say correctly that I am a King. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My Voice.”
Note: Jesus Christ has come into the world to testify to the truth, the truth of Christ. Everyone who is of the truth hears the Voice of Jesus and believes in His Words.
1,528. Jhn 19:11,“You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin.”
Note: No authority unless it had been given from above. Sin has degrees or sizes or weights or measures. Some sin is greater than others.
1,536. Jhn 20:17,“Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”
1,540. Jhn 20:23, “If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
Note: This is most serious matter; if I am not mistaken, it has never been written anyway that the Apostles or disciples have forgiven the sins of any, or they retain the sins of any.
1,542. Jhn 20:27, “Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.”
Note: To every believer, Jesus says, Do not be unbelieving, but believing.
1,543. Jhn 20:29, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”
Note: Except the Christians of the first century who had seen the Lord, all Christians of all generations did not see the Lord, and yet believed. Jesus says, Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.
1,544. Jhn 21:5, “Children, you do not have any fish, do you?”
1,545. Jhn 21:6, “Cast the net on the right-hand side of the boat and you will find a catch.”
Note: Blessed are those who do what the Lord says.
1,546. Jhn 21:10, “Bring some of the fish which you have now caught.”
1,548. Jhn 21:15, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?” “Tend My lambs.”
1,549. Jhn 21:16, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” “Shepherd My sheep.”
1,550. Jhn 21:17, “Simon, son of John, do you love Me?” “Tend My sheep.”
1,551. Jhn 21:18, “Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go.”
Note: No matter what is your destiny, Follow Jesus.
1,523. Jhn 21:22, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!”
1,524. Act 1:4, “not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” “you heard of from Me;”
1,525. Act 1:5, “for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
1,526. Act 1:7, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;”
Note: There are things that God does not want Christians to know, among them is the time and day of the second coming of Christ.
1,527. Act 1:8, “but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”
Note: To receive power from the Holy Spirit is to be witnesses of Jesus Christ to all creations, not to speak in tongues or show your spiritual superiority.
1,528. Act 9:4, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?”
1,529. Act 9:5, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
1,530.Act 9:6, “but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”
1,532. Act 9:11,“Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,”
1,534. Act 9:12, “and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight.”
1,535. Act 9:15, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;”
Note: Paul is a chosen instrument of Jesus.
1,536. Act 9:16, “for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name’s sake.”
Note: A chosen instrument of Jesus is to suffer much for the sake of Jesus’ name.
1,537. Act 11:16, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
1,538. Act 18:9, “Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;”
Note: How many preachers are silent about the sins of leaders and politicians who claim to be Christians.
1,539. Act 18:10, “for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
Note: Whoever thought that Jesus had many people in this city of Corinth which was a busy Roman trading city. Jesus may have many people in your city.
1,540. Act 20:35, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
Note: For this reason, Christians must work hard and do not want to be on welfare. If you live on welfare unless you are blind or crippled, your life does not matter. A life that only receives and never gives does not matter.
1,541. Act 22:7, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?’
1,542. Act 22:8, ‘I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.’
1,543. Act 22:10,‘Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.’
Note: Blessed is the Christian who knows what has been appointed for him/her to do. You must be dead in your transgressions if you think you are appointed to have money, power, and sex.
1,544. Act 22:18, ‘Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.’
Note: If one city does not accept the testimony about Jesus, preachers should go to other cities.
1,545. Act 22:21, ‘Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.”
1,546. Act 23:11, “Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also.”
1,547.Act 26:14, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’
1,548. Act 26:15, ‘I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.”
1,549. Act 26:16, ‘But get up and stand on your feet; for this purpose I have appeared to you, to appoint you a minister and a witness not only to the things which you have seen, but also to the things in which I will appear to you;”
1,550. Act 26:17, “rescuing you from the Jewish people and from the Gentiles, to whom I am sending you,”
1,551. Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.’
Note: The blind do not know they are in darkness, in the dominion of Satan. The Gospel of truth opens the eyes of believers so that they turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Christ.
1,552. 1Co 11:24,“and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
1,553. 1Co 11:25, In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
1,554. 2Co 12:9,“My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
1,555. Rev 1:11, “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
1,556. Rev 1:17,“Do not be afraid; I AM the First and the Last,”
1,557. Rev 1:18, “and the Living One; and I was dead, and behold, I AM alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.”
Note: Jesus Christ is the Living One; He was dead, and HE IS alive forevermore. Jesus Christ has the keys of death and of Hades, not the devil.
1,558. Rev 1:19, “Therefore write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after these things.”
1,559. Rev 1:20, “As for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.”
1,560. Rev 2:1,“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:”
1,561. Rev 2:2; “I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;”
1,562. Rev 2:3, and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary.”
1,563. Rev 2:4, “‘But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
1,564. Rev 2:5,‘Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place—unless you repent.”
1,565. Rev 2:6,‘Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.”
Note: The world’s psychology considers “hate” negative; Jesus approves believers to hate the deeds of Nicolaitans and its heretic teachings, which Jesus also hates. Nicolaitans means the followers of Nicolas. The heretic tenets of Nicolas were similar to those of Balaam. They condoned the eating of food offered to idols and sexual immorality.
Christians ought to beware corrupt doctrine and practice of any sect; especially those preachers who are liars and falsely claim to have heavenly vision but commit sexual immorality and greed.
1,567. Rev 2:7, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’”
Note: Heaven is the Paradise of God, a real place and eternal home for children of God.
1,568. Rev 2:8, “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this:”
1,569. Rev 2:9, ‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich), and the blasphemy by those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.”
Note: They are people who say they are Christians and they are not, their churches are a synagogue of Satan.
1,570.Rev 2:10, ‘Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, so that you will be tested, and you will have tribulation for ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.”
1,571. Rev 2:11, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death.’
1,572. Rev 2:12, “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: The One who has the sharp two-edged Sword says this:”
1,573. Rev 2:13, ‘I know where you dwell, where Satan’s throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.”
1,574. Rev 2:14,‘But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.”
Note: There are those who teach doctrines are unimportant, the important thing is to have love. Love can never take the place of sound doctrine and practice.
1,575. Rev 2:15,‘So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.”
Note: World knowledge such as psychology considers hate as negative. Jesus approves believers who hate the evil deeds and heretic teaching of the Nicolaitans. Jesus Christ Himself hates the deeds and teachings of Nicolatans; just as Jesus hates the Pharisees and hypocrisy.
1,576. Rev 2:16,‘Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the Sword of My mouth.”
Note: Jesus can destroy anyone, including the devil, with the Sword of His Mouth. The power of the devil is exaggerated by his agents.
1,577. Rev 2:17,‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’
Note: Almost all of us do not appreciate or grasp the values because no one has seen some of the hidden manna, a white stone, and a new name written on the white stone. The days are coming, and we will know them soon.
1,578. Rev 2:18, “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze, says this:”
1,579. Rev 2:19, ‘I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first.”
1,580. Rev 2:20, ‘But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
1,581. Rev 2:21, ‘I gave her time to repent, and she does not want to repent of her immorality.”
Note: There are those who do not repent when they are given time to repent; there will be time when they want to repent but they are not given time to repent. So repent when you are given time to repent.
1,582. Rev 2:22, ‘Behold, I will throw her on a bed of sickness, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds.”
1,583. Rev 2:23, ‘And I will kill her children with pestilence, and all the churches will know that I AM He who searches the minds and hearts; and I will give to each one of you according to your deeds.”
Note: The pestilence CORONAVIRUS is the most deadly that the world has never seen before. We have to guard our hearts and minds in Jesus Christ because corrupt doctrines and practices attack our hearts and minds. Judgment of God is according to our deeds.
1,584. Rev 2:24, ‘But I say to you, the rest who are in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not known the deep things of Satan, as they call them—I place no other burden on you.”
Note: The deep things of Satan include the snares, schemes, skills, subtleties, disguises, and activities of Satan which we must be aware.
1,585. Rev 2:25, ‘Nevertheless what you have, hold fast until I come.”
Note: Christians have grace, mercy, redemption, salvation, faith, hope, love, peace, compassion, newness of life, liberty, labor and strife, sanctification, good conscience, prophetic word, confidence, knowledge, and the mind of Christ. We must keep what we have until Jesus comes.
1,586. Rev 2:26, ‘He who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;”
Note: The reward to those who overcome and keep the deeds of Jesus is so great, to be given authority over the nations. In this world, unless one is a dictator, he does not have authority over one nation. The authority over the nations refers to the Millennium Reign of Christ on earth. The United Kingdom is the successor of the British Empire which had done much evil in this world. UK has not confessed its predecessor falsified the Indian map by robbing large China’s territories to be incorporated into India map to make its colony look big. The British empire also left the evil legacy of Palestine and Palestinians which give Israel much problems. Imagine some Christian will be given authority over the UK.
1,587. Rev 2:27, “AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE BROKEN TO PIECES, as I also have received authority from My Father;”
Note: The Rod of Iron does not mean the truth of Christ. It means the absolute power of Jesus Christ to break His opponents as the vessels of the potter are broken to pieces. Remember the Sword of Jesus’ mouth.
The Kingdom of Christ is absolutely unlike the kingdoms of the world or so-called democracy of some nations. What are the differences between world dictators and the absolute Ruler Jesus Christ? Much and great differences; for one world dictators are mortal humans with limited power, Jesus Christ is the everlasting God with absolute power.
1,588. Rev 2:28, “and I will give him the morning star.”
Note: The Morning Star by Bing:
1,589. Rev 2:29,‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,590. Rev 3:1,“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars, says this: ‘I know your deeds, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.”
Note: Some are falsely so-called Christians, but they are dead. I have found many European and American and Chinese churches are dead.
1,591. Rev 3:2, ‘Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God.”
1,592. Rev 3:3,‘So remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.”
1,593. Rev 3:4, ‘But you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their garments; and they will walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.”
Note: Let it be understood, there is no black color in Heaven. We will walk with the Lord in white.
1,594. Rev 3:5, ‘He who overcomes will thus be clothed in white garments; and I will not erase his name from the Book of Life, and I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.”
1,595. Rev 3:6, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,596. Rev 3:7, “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:”
Note: The key of David denotes authority and control, but I am not satisfied with comments of so-called scholars; I think there are many things about the Key of David which are unknown now. Many self-appointed so-called Bible scholars have a tendency not to admit their ignorance. It is written so we know there are: the key of the house of David, the keyof knowledge, the key of the Bottomless Pit, the key of the abyss, the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the keys of death and of Hades. It is dangerous for anyone to pretend to know what he does not exactly know.
1,597. Rev 3:8, ‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My Word, and have not denied My name.”
1,598. Rev 3:9, ‘Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you.”
Note: I believe the synagogue of Satan is a religious organization controlled and used by Satan. Today there are quite a few falsely called churches which belong to Satan.
1,600. Rev 3:10, ‘Because you have kept the Word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.”
1,601.Rev 3:11, ‘I AM coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Note: The “eight” monosyllabic words “so that no one will take your crown” are profound to me and I don’t know what and how and why. It seems there is possibility of some one may take your crown.
1,602. Rev 3:12, ‘He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the Temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the City of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.”
Note: We are all ignorant of what is a pillar in the Temple of God, the name of God, the name of the City of God, and the new name of Jesus Christ.
1,603. Rev 3:13, ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’
1,604.Rev 3:14,“To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God, says this:”
Note: The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God are the titles or names of Jesus Christ.
1,605. Rev 3:15, ‘I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot.’
1,606. Rev 3:16, ‘So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth.”
1,607. Rev 3:17, ‘Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked,”
Note: There are people who are rich, wealthy, and have need of nothing. And they do not know that they are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked. I venture to say these people not only they have money, but also power and sex.
1,608. Rev 3:18, “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.”

PEOPLE should ask, why most of the criminals and crooks at the national capital are blacks? HEAR YE, HEAR YE, AMERICANS. America needs a new beginning. I am to propose moving the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska.
Lincoln is the greatest American president, greater than Washington. The special interest is concretely and concentrically established in Washington, D.C.
The White House, Supreme Court, etc. can be sold to luxurious hotels. American government must be freed from all encumbrances, monopolies, lobbies, and special interests once and for all. Washington can be a regular city of Maryland, most likely a tourist city because the Monuments and Smithsonian Institutions shall be kept. The city can charge admission to all Smithsonian Institutions. There shall be a national referendum to decide the moving of the national capital to Lincoln, Nebraska. Congressmen and Senators shall decide whether to move the Capitol or not. The political names of D.C. and Capitol shall be dropped. All unnecessary government employees shall be dismissed and useless departments and agencies shall be discarded.
They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, andthat the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish landand relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news,counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.
*Our mission is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ absolutely free. We do not want donation. We only want you to know the truth.
BY WILLIE WONG
My Thought is Willie Wong Thought.
Willie Wong Thought is the system thinking and worldview of Willie Wong. Willie Wong Thought is deeply rooted solely in the Biblical view, and it is impossible to contradict the Word of God.
1. The things that I do not know scare me; if I tell you they will scare you too. So I am forever silent on those subjects. Some ignorance is loud and clear. Some ignorance is hidden and silent.
2. Something is so pure and powerful that moves you into tears must be true indeed.
3.Over the years I have discovered, more people are easily moved by money and self interest. Very few people are moved by truth.
4. There is no Christian cause. Whatever is the cause of Christ is the cause of Christians. Christians submit to the will of God, and offer themselves as living sacrifice to the cause of Christ.
5. There are different types of riches.Commonly known is rich in money. In ancient time, Abraham was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold, Gen. 13:2. The world’s richest people presented by Fortune Magazine are rich in this present world, 1 Ti 6:17. There are people who are rich in knowledge. There are also people who are rich in experiences. There are very few people who are rich in talents such as great painters, sculptors, and skilled artisans. The best kind of riches is to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom of God,Jas 2:5. There are also Christians who are rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 1 Ti 6:18. I have discovered most peoples in the world are lovers of money. True Christians do not aspire to be rich in material and money, for Jesus Christ says,
Luk 16:13, “No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.”
6.The greatest a Christian quest is to know the will of God and do it.
7. All our knowledge begins with senses and experiences, and proceeds then to reason and understanding, and ends with truth. There is nothing higher than truth.Perpetual peace is only found sleep in Christ.
8. My mother is forever the dearest person to me. Her love was pure sacrifice without wanting return. Her care and nurture made my life rich in taste and thought. Her goodness and uprightness exerted a godly and precious influence upon the course of my life. I rise up to call her blessed.
9. Humility is an indication of maturity.
10. Life which is characterized by song and dance, drug, sex and violence, nonproductivity or unproductivity — does not matter. The lives of crooks and criminals do not matter.
11. Morality matters because God exists. Pursue good and shun evil is the respect for God. Do what is right pleases God.
12. God, light, truth do not need to be defended.
13.If reason disputes God, then death disqualifies life. Reason is not omniscience. Reason cannot explain all truths. Human knowledge can be justified by human reason. The revealed truth is above reason. Truth cannot be corrupted.
14. Human perfection does not exist. Out of the crooked nothing straight can be found.
15. Superstition is a dark sea without the light of moon and stars.
16. You could not put a foundation on a castle built in the air.
17. Prayer is talking to God although you may not know who God is. Asking God for a favor or help is the basic human need. Prayer ceases in Heaven BECAUSE there will be no more need where Praise is constant and eternal.
18. Christianity is much more than a moral religion; Christianity is the relationship with Jesus Christ, the revelation of Whom to trust and What to believe. Truth is not the child of time; truth in Christ is eternal.
19. Octopus punches fish in the head (just because it can),that was discovered by scientists. Europeans supremacists in particular the British empire which was the giant octopus and other European octopuses had dominated the world for the last 500 years. The sole superpower is like the giant Octopus that attacks, lies, occupies, robs, sanctions many like small fish nations and peoples since the end of World War II. Human beings are not animals, they must not act like animals. The most outrageous thing is the fact that American and European leaders and politicians claim to be Christians, and yet they behave like pagan barbarians. Just because the sole superpower and Western powers can, they should not attack, lie, abuse and sanction China and Russia.
20. The first step toward change is correct perception. The second step is right action. Often when things are happening right before our eyes, very few know what actually is happening. There are not many who are endowed with a good sense to see reality and think clearly of somethings must be done quickly.
21. If you do not know the truth, then
you do not know what is right or wrong;
you do not know what is good or evil;
you do not know what is light or dark;
you do not know what is eternal or temporary;
you do not know what is blessed or accursed;
you do not know what is above or below;
you do not know what is sweet or bitter;
you do not know what is kind or cruel;
you do not know what is honest or dishonest
you do not know what is responsible or irresponsible;
you do not know what is hope or despair;
you do not know what is belief or unbelief;
you do not know what is eternity or time;
you do not know what is high or low;
you do not know what is true or false;
you do not know what is noble or ignoble;
you do not know what is glory or shame;
you do not know what is holy or dirty;
you do not know what is divine or human;
you do not know what is supernatural or natural;
you do not know what is heavenly or earthly;
you do not know the way to God;
you do not know the way of salvation;
you do not know Jesus Christ is the Savior of mankind;
you will be lost and perish forever.
22. The problems of the world are not the world. The problems of the world are people. People who are liars, killers, and robbers are problems of the world. God created the bright blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, majestic mountains, Norwegian green valley, gorgeous lakes, crystal clear water, blooming meadow with wildflowers, brisk forest, bucolic landscape, enchanting rivers, glorious sunset, stunning waterfall, the vast ocean, giant Sequoia trees, GrandCanyon, Camel 17-mile drive, Norwegian fjords, Pebble Beach, Kanas Lake,Hangzhou West Lake, etc. Imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, militarists, monopolists, white and black supremacists, racists, anarchists, lobbyists, revolutionists, sexists, interventionists, atheists, drinkers, litterers, polluters, smokers, prostitutes, pimps, pirates are problems of the world. False prophets, false teachers, false leaders, gamblers, fake media journalists, fake news and every fake thing are problems of the world. Adulterers, warmongers, backstabbers, double-crossers, double-dealers, heartless, mindless, shameless, addicted cell-phone players, drug users, crooks and criminals, people on welfare, single-parents who had sex and produced children they do not want and cannot support, deviant people, and useless people are problems of the world. Self-inflicted backward and poor nations, self-inflicted civil war nations, illegal migrants, inferior culture are problems of the world. Oppressors, conspirators, dictators, fornicators, warriors, corrupt and fraudulent doctors and hospital owners, rioters, suppressors, malefactors, perpetrators and violators of law, impostors, aggressors, traitors are problems of the world.
Jesus says about Judas the traitor, it would be better if Judas had not been born! Mar 14:21, “For the Son of Man is to go just as it is written of Him; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” There are people in this world, it would have been good if they had not been born!

All parts of Jesus’ life, from Incarnation to Ascension had been completed and fulfilled. Jesus Christ is now in the Highest Heaven, sitting at the right hand of God. I believe the Lord Jesus has long prepared our Heavenly Mansions. Jesus Christ may come any moment or imminently. Jesus Christ is coming again to judge the world and reign with the saints on earth for a thousand years. After that is the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven for ever and ever. The children of God will be with God for eternity.
25. International Order is both desirable and necessary. International Order means both big and small nations must obey and observe International Law and practice multilateralism. All nations must seek just and lasting peace in the world. The U.S. and EU, UK, etc. must give up empire and cease to interfere and meddle in the internal matters of foreign nations. The U.S. must return Taiwan to China, cease to meddle in Hong Kong, Tibet, and Xinjiang. The US and European nations must stop making false statements and slanders about China and Russia. Historically, the U.S., European imperial and colonial powers, Japan, Australia, some Asian, Arab, Muslim nations had committed genocide. China had never committed genocide anywhere much less its own territory of Xinjiang. The world is better off if America, UK, EU, Japan, Australia, Canada, etc. mind their own business. The U.S. must not oppress small nations like Venezuela anymore, must not demand regime change, must not steal 31 tons of its gold, etc. The multilateralism must follow the leadership of UN, WTO, WHO, ICC, etc. As the US must pay reparations and damages to the Red Indians descendants, so Europe (including the British empire) must do the same to its Asian, African, Latin American, and Australian colonies for all its evil deeds and abuses. Japan must also pay for its evil deeds of atrocities, sex slavery, slave labor, genocide, etc. Although the Japanese government still refuses to admit and repent and repay.
26. THE AMERICAN-EUROPEAN VALUES
The article and author cited in a certain magazine opposed the EU-Chinadeal reflect the attitude, character and mentality of White Supremacy. The EU who claim to be Christian nations have demonstrated in the last 500 years of world domination and dictatorship in terms of European imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism, monopoly and oppression and robberies of the resources of its colonies. The infamous Opium Wars led by the evil empire of Britain and America, burned, occupied, killed, looted and robbed China millions of national treasures at market value of US$100,000 trillions not counting the interest of so many years, and not counting the destruction of Yen Ming Yuan Garden which was more beautiful and luxurious than Versailles Palace. In the name of Christianity and ‘White Man’s Burden’ White Europeans had dishonored Jesus Christ and disgraced Christianity as attested by indisputable history. America and Europe are so self-righteous, why don’t they return to China what they had looted and robbed for years? To pressure the Chinese government on human rights? What human rights that European powers had practiced in the world? Jan 6, 2021 witnessed the opening of American Pandora’s box the whole world saw the real American democracy in action. America, UK, Canada, Australia called the terrorists and rioters they supported in Hong Kong as freedom fighters. However, under leadership of Trump with the slogan ‘SAVE AMERICA’ those who created the Capitol Riots are now called terrorists, not freedom fighters. White Supremacists are trained in lies and deception for centuries. They practice shameless double standard. According to Jesus Christ, those who lie, kill, and rob are children of the devil. “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” (Jhn 8:44)
Under Deng Xiaoping in less than 40 years a backward and poor China was turned into the number 2 world economy, and soon China is going to be the number one World Economy. China has succeeded in lifting 800 million peasants from abject poverty. China has won over terrorists in Xinjiang and Tibet where Chinese minorities enjoy peace, progress, prosperity and harmony. The Chinese people are getting more freedom and prosperity than ever before. American and Europeans supremacists are actually not concerned about human rights, they are afraid and jealous and worried about the peaceful rise of China with its spectacular successes in every field. In brief, America and Europe still want to maintain the status quo of dominating and dictating the world.
I proudly supported my President Richard Nixon who sought a just and lasting peace for the world. Since then all American presidents and politicians seek absolute military supremacy and world domination. The American democracy has turned into one percent of population ruling over the 99 percent. The military-industrial-security complex, the trinity of Washington-Wall Street-Hollywood, and the monopoly of healthcare and legal professions own more wealth than the 99 percent of American Europe and America have done nothing to redeem their crimes and sins against the humanity in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Australia. You no longer can fool the world. You could never fool the righteous God anyway. Don’t you think the CORONAVIRUS is a just small judgment of God on you? Wake up and repent before it is too late. You can lie no more!!!
27. WHAT CHINA WANTS
In the first place, it must be made crystal clear that I am not a Chinese citizen nor a member of the Chinese government. I do NOT speak for the Chinese government in any capacity. I am an American citizen of Chinese descent, but I have studied China all my life. I only want project what is right, reasonable, and good for China and express them to America, EU, NATO, UK, Canada, Australia, and American allies such as Japan who are hostile to China.
In 1985 I was hired by the Ministry of Education as a professor at a national Chinese university and so I went to China the first time to teach and travel and to see the land of my ancestors. For some years when I was on my yearly vacation from America, I was invited by Ministry of Education, the provincial government, or the city government, or the university to lecture at several famous major universities in China, including Zhejiang University, Xian Jiaotong University, Beijing Normal University, East China University of Science & Technology, etc. I have a continuous perspective of China from 1985 to the present day. I believe what I have suggested, WHAT CHINA WANTS, and WHAT CHINA DOESN’T WANT, are fair, good, and right and reasonable for China, America, and the world. I do not benefit in any way what I have written or suggested.If the Chinese government consults me, I would offer them the same recommendations as I have written in this article.
I believe what I have written would be good and right for China, the Chinese government, and the Chinese people. I am doing this on a voluntary basis without pay by anyone.
1. China wants to be continuously and consistently a sovereign and independent nation without foreign harassment.
Note: For some 500 years, the European imperialists and colonialists had oppressed and abused China, and for some 300 years the United States of America, Japan and Western powers had attacked, occupied, oppressed, and robbed and looted, burned Chinese properties and killed Chine people. Even today, America has taken Taiwan as a de facto colony, and with European powers, UK, Canada and Australia continuously interfere and meddle in China’s internal matters relating to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.
2. China wants to rejuvenate and restore and reunify China to its past glory.
Note: A thousand years ago China under Tang Dynasty was the most advanced civilization in the world. A thousand years later China wants to be the most advanced civilization on earth again. In 1949 the United
States violated China’s sovereignty and the International Law by sending the 7th Fleet to protect the lost Chiang Kai Shek’s regime and prevented Taiwan from reunification with China. Now it is high time and China wants America to return Taiwan to China peacefully and cease and desist from all interference (political and military) and stop sale of weapons of mass destruction to Taiwan.
3. China wants to be treated with respect as an equal sovereign nation on the international stage and to effectuate peaceful rise on its own.
Note: The days of American and Western and Japanese aggression, oppression, suppression, exploitation, and sanction against China is
over and must be over.
4. China wants to be left alone for herself to determine what form of government, what economic system, what national values, and what independent foreign policy, etc. to adopt without pressure from outside.
Note: America, Europe, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, etc. should get the message of non-interference and no more meddling in China’s internal matters.
5. China wants to be friends with all nations, big or small and abide by the International Law under the multilateralism of U.N., WTO, WHO, etc.
6. China wants to have free, fair, open, and unrestricted trade with all nations without threat of sanction or tariff.
Note: No nation should unjustly and unilaterally use tariff, boycott, currency, logistics, visa (to passport), and oppressive measures to target any nation, big or small.
7. China wants America and the world to pursue peace, progress, and prosperity among all nations.
Note: China has lifted up 750 million peasants from abject poverty, and assisted many nations under Belt and Road initiative and has aided many African nations without strings attached.
8. China wants an open and free world so that all nations may participate, cooperate, and jointly develop in science and technology, finance and banking, health and medicine, disease control, climate control, soil control, population control, waste control, public transportation, infrastructure, modernization of agriculture, water management, food and medicine safety, air pollution reduction, education and research, and social development and advancement, etc.
9. China wants a peaceful world without war or conflict, so that China can be left free to develop and achieve its national goals.
10. China wants European nations, UK, America, Japan and others to return China’s national treasures and relics robbed and looted in the past to the present without delay.
Note: In my estimate the China’s national treasures looted, robbed, and stolen by Western nations (including America) and Japan, they are worthUS$100,000 trillion dollarsat market value, not counting the
interest of so many years. China wants also UK, European powers, America, and others that burned down the world’s greatest Yuan Ming Yuan garden which was more beautiful and valuable than Versailles Palace, France, to pay for all damages so that China can rebuild it.
11. China wants the U.S. government to acknowledge the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands historically belong to China, apologize for illegally giving administrative control of Diaoyu Islands to war crime nation of Japan, demand Japan to return Diaoyu lslands to China without delay and state that the U.S. will never defend Japan against China under any circumstances.
12. China wants America to cooperate and support the International agreement on climate control, nuclear proliferation, navigation, prevention of famine, poverty reduction, water conservation, etc. under the auspices of the United Nations.
Note: It is necessary and desirable fort the United States government to participate and support many agendas of the United Nations and world community.
13. China wants the mainstream media and think tanks of America, EU, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc. to cease and desist from anti-China rumors and stop spreading fake and false propaganda against China.
Note: It is against the truth to propagate and disseminate fake news, fake reports, fake analyses, fake views, fake opinions, fake pronouncements, disinformation, misinformation, misrepresentation, etc. against China or any nation.
14. China wants a peaceful coexistence with America, Western powers, India, etc.
Note: China wants to have good and normal an stable relations with all nations, in particular the United States, Europe, UK, etc.
15. China wants all hostilities in words and deeds from the West to
cease completely.
Note: Too much resources are wasted in unnecessary and useless conflicts and rivalries in the world.
28. WHAT CHINA DOES NOT WANT
1. China does not want to be an empire or a hegemonic nation.
Note: Since the independence of PRC, China has not attacked or occupied or oppressed any nation. Western mainstream media do not tell the truth about China-India conflict. It was the legacy of the evil British empire. India was a colony of the evil British empire, the British imperialists and colonialist wanted to make the British empire look bigger and larger, so they carved out a big chunk of China’s territories to include in the map of India. The British on the Indian map deliberately removed large areas of Chinese territories to be included in the Indian map — that is the root cause of conflict to these days. The United Kingdom is obliged to explain the fact to the Indian government and resolve the issue once and for all.
2. China does not want to copy or imitate the West in anyway.
Note: The history of the West is the history of aggression and oppression. I believe to this day the Chinese government still feel irritated and uneasy how the West used Christianity as a cover or tool to oppress China. There is misunderstanding on the part of China, Christianity is not a Western religion. Christianity is Heavenly and it does not belong to the West or any nation. There is no Christian nation on earth. Those in the past who persecuted China by means of Christianity were not true Christians at all. I declare many Western nations are practicing the false version of Christianity. In many ways, the Western influence has been evil. The West has the values of money, power and sex. When I first went to China in 1985, there were no dogs. Today dogs are everywhere after America, and if you are not careful you may step on the feces of dogs on the street. Disgusting both in sight and smell! In addition, greed has infected China and many crimes are originated and motivated by greed and reported on TV daily.
3. China does not want to replace America as the sole superpower, and China does not want the collapse of the American government.
Note: Historically, China’s greatest empire was neither imperialist nor expansionist. China never had a colony. So, America, EU, NATO, etc. have no fear of China because China is not a national security threat to any country. Besides China harbors no malice or ill will towards any country.
4. China does not want American or European Cold War, hot war, trade war, economic war, technological war, etc. against China or Russia.
Note: Hot or cold war are no good for the world. Any kind of war is mutual destructive. China has no intention or interest in engaging hot or cold war or any war with any nation.
5. China does not want any war much less nuclear war with America or EU.
Note: For a nuclear war means mutual destruction and the destruction of the whole world. Peace is much more preferable and productive than war.
6. China does not want to have war with India on border conflict.
Note: It is up to the United Kingdom to come clean by speaking up and explaining what evil they had done under the British empire, to include large areas of China’s original territories into the map of India
their colony so that to make the empire look big.
7. China does not want the West to sanction against Russia.
Note: Russia is not Soviet Union. Russia is not a dangerous hegemonic power. The West has no fear of Russia, instead it is best there is no block or faction in the world, no conflict or confrontation but cooperation among nations.
8. China does not want America to sanction Nord Stream 2.
Note: Nord Stream 2 is not a threat to America. It is free trade. It is better to live and let live.
9. China does not want an inch of foreign land, but will defend its sovereignty to protect its own territorial integrity.
Note: The South China Sea, Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea and their related islands belong to China since ancient times before many countries have existed. China does not desire expansion, China also does not want other nations to take what belongs to China.
10. China does not want any foreign country to export their garbage, trash, electronic, chemical, toxic waste, and foreign animals or plants which are harmful to China.
11. China does not want arms race (conventional or nuclear) with America, EU, NATO, or any country in the world.
12. China does not want any cyber attacks or hacks or interference of any kind from any country.
13. China does not want the U.S. government to single out Chinese firms and corporations for discrimination, persecution, prosecution, and sanction without cause.
14. China does not want to divide the world into East vs. West, North vs. South, or any demarcation.
29. Nuclear War
1. It is sad and mad because there are American leaders, politicians, military, and civilian strategists who believe they can win in a nuclear war against Russia and China, although Russia and China DO NOT want a war.
2. American warmongers daily and constantly promote and promulgate
the biggest and blackest lie of the 21st Century by making false charges
that Russia and China are national security threats to America. As a
matter of fact America is the number one threat to the world.
3. American leaders and politicians are fooling the American Public by
disseminating disinformation and fake news that America is ready to fight
a nuclear war, destroys the enemies in 72 hours, and wins and continues
as usual to rule the world.
4. As attested by history the United States of America is the most warring
state since its inception. Members of the military-Industrial-security
complex are the beneficiaries of all American wars and they are the most
powerful and richest people in America. America has wasted so many
trillions and trillions of dollars in the name of national security and
defense. I am telling you in a nuclear war, there will be no winner, only
losers. America is able to kill one billion Chinese, there will still be 400
million Chinese around the world. China and Russia are able to kill 350
million Americans in the world, there will be not one American left. The
numbers are against America. The coming nuclear war incited by
America means the total destruction of America, Russia, China, and the
whole world.
5. Most Americans must know by now that election, general election,
presidential election and ballot are useless and exercises of futility.
American supremacists (white and black) want you to believe America is
democratic and free. Democracy and freedom are empty slogans when
and where 1 percent of the population rules over the 99 percent of
American people. The system is rigged when and where the 1 percent of
the minority owns the power and wealth of the majority.
The U.S. Constitution needs to be revised to stipulate the national
sovereignty of America is vested in the hands of American citizens.
American leaders and politicians do not want to vest the national
sovereignty on American citizens because in that way they will lose their
monopoly of power and wealth. They are most afraid of a national
referendum to determine the fate of the nation whether American citizens
want a respectable Republic or an evil Empire. The only measure that can
change America is through the national referendum to determine the
direction of America. With 51% of the votes of American citizens, it can
automatically and effectively remove the president or any official without
the useless impeachment process. With 51% of American voters, they
have power to determine and decide any issue that matters to the America.
6. America cries “wolf” too many times, not realizing that American
leaders and politicians are the savage wolves that swallow up American
people (sheep and lamb). Jesus Christ says, Mat 26:52, “Then Jesus
said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take
up the sword shall perish by the sword.” You cannot watch America to
perish by the sword (nuclear war). American warmongers take pleasures
in waging war. American citizens have the right to stop the madness and
demand a national referendum which is true democracy in action.
30.Accountability after Nuclear War: Why Not Plan Ahead?
There are people in the West self-acquired and self-proclaimed and heartless specialists who really believe Nuclear War against Russia and China can be won and so it is wise to prepare for accountability after Nuclear War: Why Not Plan Ahead? There is a RAND PLAN to war against China and win. The cruel and corrupt Western military strategists make fatal and deadly mistakes in their dreams, hopes, and false assumptions about the nuclear war they are going to make and win:
1. They have thought the hundreds of American military bases around the world to target Russia and China would be sufficient as usual to fight a proxy war so that they are always fought in foreign lands but not in the U.S. Mainland. The Japanese, Koreans, Europeans, Australians, etc. would die first for America, who serve as a cushion for the evil empire, to spare the lives of Americans at home.
2. U.S. Bombers Enter Chinese Air Defense Zones. Increasingly and more openly, boldly and blatantly, U.S. no longer privily entered Chinese territorial waters and air defense zones, they provocatively make the military maneuvers and operations to reflect their real intentions to evoke and provoke a war; as if they have obtained an approval from Satan.
3. They have thought they can win a limited nuclear war. They miscalculated and misconstrued the Chinese and Russian position, determination and strategy. Once America and NATO launch an attack on Russia or China, China and Russia will at once retaliate with an all-out (total) nuclear war with all nuclear weapons they possess to target directly mainland America without restriction or constraints so that war will be carried effectively to the mainland America. From California to New York, from South to North will be blanketed with massive nuclear weapons analogous to a million Sodom(s) and Gomorrah(s) burning simultaneously. Before the fact they have thought they would be lucky in winning the nuclear war. Such miscalculation and misconception are tragic and woeful beyond help and beyond repair.
4. The nuclear war is the beginning and the end of mutual destruction. There will be no winner, only losers. There will be no aftermath or subsequence, no afterward, it is the end of the world!!!! The American and European aggressors and warmongers, their allies, and all pagans and heathens will go down together straight to Hell for eternal punishment.
5. In the meantime American leaders are always seeking for options, pretexts, and phony reasons to justify and instigate the nuclear war against Russia and China. American leaders and politicians are used to make noble reasons for ignoble causes, evil deeds and acts of aggression. By their deeds and actions you can see their intentions clear as the day and they are making every preparation possible for the attack.
6. The following is the Bible prophesy on the coming nuclear war coinciding with the end of the world: 2Pe 3:10-13, “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the Heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up. Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
Because of unrighteousness the earth and everything in it will be destroyed, and will be burned up. Scientifically speaking, what kind of “intense heat” can destroy and burn up the elements? According to The Physics Factbook, “Immediately after the explosion time, the temperature of the weapon material is several tens of million degrees and the pressures are estimated to be many million atmospheres.”
Note: Element in Greek is stoicheionwhich means “the elements from which all things have come, the material causes of the universe” (Strong’s Concordance); – which occurs 12 times in the New Testament. There are many chemical elements, from actinium to zirconium. Just take one chemical element we are familiar with iron Fe. According to Wikipedia, the melting point of Fe is 2,800°F (1,538°C). Reference: www.wisegeek.com/which-material-has-the-highest-melting-point.htm
“The chemical element with the highest melting point is carbon, at 4300–4700 K(4027–4427 °C, 7280–8000 °F). The second highest melting point of the chemical elements is tungsten, at 3695 K (3422 °C, 6192 °F), which is why it is used as a filament for light bulbs.” According to Simon Fung, “The “Little Boy”that exploded in Hiroshima had a huge damaging effect. The temperature of this fission reaction was about 300,000 kelvin at the center and about 6000 kelvin on the ground below.” Now we have some idea what “intense heat” means. In a nuclear war, not only chemical elements will be melted, and everything will be destroyed.
Christians are not afraid of the coming nuclear war or the end of the world. The saved believers “according to His promise we are looking for New Heavens and a New earth, in which righteousness dwells.” The Immortal and Eternal God will give saints glorious, spiritual and immortal bodies which nuclear fire and nothing can destroy.
1Co 15:51-54, “Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, “DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.” Believers will have eternal life to be with the Lord forever and ever.
31.Israel And Without Palestine
1. In the beginning there was Israel, no Palestine. God gave the Promised Land to the descendants of Abraham 4,000 years ago. Every piece of the land recorded in the Bible belongs to the Jews. No other races and nationalities may claim to have the right. This is the eternal inheritance that the Almighty God had given to Abraham in ancient times. No one has the right or authority to give a portion or part of the Promised Land to any race, people, or nationality.
2. For Israel to exchange land for peace is basically unjust and wrong.
3. There are neighboring nations so called around the State of Israel which did not exist before.
There are Arabs, and so-called Palestinians are also Arabs. It would be logical and proper for those Palestinians to join the Arab nations; they will not have assimilation problem, just like water mixes with water, oil with oil.
4. Israel is different from all other nations in the world. Israel is God’s holy nation since Abraham, set apart, it cannot be mixed with other races or nationalities or religions.
5. Palestinians cannot claim reparations or compensations because they had de facto occupied the Promised Land for a long time. Just like Hong Kong belongs to China from the beginning. The evil empire of Britain abused, oppressed, and attacked China to loot China’s national treasures and robbed Hong Kong as a colony.
6. The British Empire also took India as a colony, and illegally and unilaterally made the colony look bigger and larger through making the Indian map by carving out large territories of China into the British colony of India. The conflict of India and China today was caused by the evil deeds of British Empire and a legacy of injustice. The United Kingdom has never done anything for justice to come out clean to explain the fact to the Indian government and clean up the geopolitical mess.
7. For the same reason, just and lasting peace can only be achieved, not by Palestinians robbing the part and parcel of the Promised Land, for Jerusalem is the eternal Capital of King David by authority of God. The God of Abraham will fight for Jerusalem. Palestine is also a toxic legacy of the evil British Empire. The United Kingdom must acknowledge and assume the responsibility.
8. I wish Palestinians well, not violating justice and equity, but by peaceful joining other Arab states of their choice.
32.Fake and Phony Democracy
1. The American body politic has been corrupted from the beginning, it will take too long to provide historical evidence.
2.American leaders and politicians failed to face the bitter truth.
3.The bitter truth is the fact American democracy is phony and fake.
4.The proof: 1 percent of the population controls and rules over the 99
percent of population. In principle, democracy is majority rule. In
America the rich and powerful one percent of the population rules the
country.
5. For that reason, election, general election, presidential election, ballot, etc. are only the veneer of democracy, it has no reality, quality or worth.
6. The reality is the fact the one percent who controls the government gets richer and richer and more powerful while the poor 99 percent gets poorer and poorer and become increasingly helpless and desperate.
7. The case in point is the fact that American healthcare system is the most costly, fraudulent, predatory, ineffective, oppressive and overcharged healthcare system in the world with immunity. No one in government is interested to change the blood-sucking system or prosecute greedy and corrupt doctors, dentists, hospital owners, labs and medical supplies, drugs and insurance companies as an organized crime for fraud andmonopoly. Unlike normal business practices, patients do not get cost or price information in advance. Doctors and hospitals are given blank check to charge whatever they please. Patients do not know what they are going to get and how much they pay for.
8. The legal system benefits the legal professions, court and prosecutors, lawyers of both sides; encourages crooks and criminals, terrorizes and victimizes ordinary Americans; creates unfairness and travesty in justice.
9. The corrupt two parties of America, Republican and Democrat, serve only their own interests and special interests, but not the national interest and the interest of the majority of American people.
10. The US Constitution is evidently flawed because it does NOT vest American citizens with the ultimate sovereignty, but encourages the continuity of vested interests in holding America hostage and paralyzes the normal functions of a good government. The Constitution allows the American Republic to turn into the evil empire under which the whole world is suffering needlessly. There is no Constitutional guarantee of controlling the behavior of elected and appointed officials and their removal by the majority of American citizens. The impeachment process is useless, for example the Democrats would not convict Bill Clinton. The two parties do not serve the national interest.
33.Principle or Might
American and European white supremacists such as Pompeo (enemy of truth) are afraid that China will become a superpower to dictate and dominate the world. My, why don’t white supremacists look at the mirror and know the truth that is exactly what they have been doing in the last 500 years for Europeans and 300 years for the Americans. The problems of the world today are not China and Russia, they are America and its allies, European powers and NATO; not moral principle, but military might.
America always poses itself as self-righteous and civilized, in actuality America has dominated and dictated the world since the end of World War II in a most inhuman way. To maintain the status quo of world dominance, America pictures and paints China in the worse light possible. For example America does not tell the truth about India-China conflict was the legacy of British empire that unilaterally made its colony bigger and larger by carving large territories of China into the Indian map. America from its inception never examines its vices and evil deeds done to other countries and peoples, especially the natives (Red Indians) of America. It always presents itself in the best light possible to caste shadow and darkness on China and Russia. China and Russia are not hegemonic powers and have not committed aggression and oppression as America has done, and European powers have done for 500 years. America supremacists question the motive and goal of China, it does not examine those so-called to be feared motive and goal America is continuously implementing and executing them to the present. No American leaders or politicians ask themselves when they should cease and desist form being an evil empire and return to a respectable Republic; while doing everything possible in terms of fake news, fake reports, fake views, false accusations and fake analysis about those bad things are what China aspires to be. The biggest liar, murderer, and robber of the world accusing those are the things China is to become and to do! White supremacists have a tendency to minimize its vices and evil deeds while exaggerating what China has never done. Why the blinded American leaders and politicians do not see the light that China since the infamous Opium Wars has been abused, mistreated and violated by the West to this day. The American media, journalists, scholars, politicians continuously manufacture false accusations and pretenses to accuse and target China constantly and unrelentingly. When will America mind its own business and stop interfering and meddling in the internal affairs of so many weak countries? Distortion, deception, disinformation, misinformation, misrepresentation, malice and ill will are always committed by America and its allies and EU. Why truth and justice are trampled by American and European leaders? American national debt of exceeding $31 trillion dollars are not high enough? American defense budget of throwing trillions and trillions into the black hole of aggression, war, and intervention, domestic unrest, violence, illegal activities, etc. do not prove danger and risk of America committing suicide? The hypocrisy and false pretense in accusing China mismanaging Coronavirus pandemic,
Luk 12:32, “Do not be afraid, Little Flock, for your Father has chosen gladly to give you the Kingdom.”
The Lord Jesus Christ is coming again!
39. A RESPONSE TO POMPEO’s POMPOUS SPEECH AT THE NIXON LIBRARY.
1. YES. “U.S. engagement with China is a dismal failure,” not because President Nixon’s grand China policy was a failure; but because all the successors of President Nixon did not and do not follow his step in seeking a “just and lasting peace” for the world. All Nixon’s successors, both Democratic and Republican presidents, and American politicians of both parties have relentlessly and persistently sought “absolute military supremacy in order to have world dictatorship and domination.” The American president and politicians, without doubt, want to continuously dictate and dominate the world. They threaten other nations with their strongest military power and largest nuclear weapons. That was not Nixon’s policy. They maintain and reinforce America as the sole evil empire in the world, no more a Republic. What the former presidents and current president have been doing since Nixon are an open book, although they may shamelessly lie, misrepresent and distort history. For they are expert in deception. The current president is a diabolical demagogue, proven shameless liar, and a useless warmonger. He is a disgrace to the Republican Party, to America, to all patriotic Americans. There is no need to provide all the facts and evidence of his evil deeds and schemes, they will be voluminous and encyclopedic. His agent Pompous Pompeo is nothing but a low grade and lack luster diplomat trying desperately to copy John Foster Dulles the architect of Cold War. They are like comets which will disappear in November rejected by majority of Americans. All you have to do is to watch the news on TV. American mass media are deliberately making so much fake and false news and they are hostile and biased against China, Russia, etc. There is no doubt, American president and politicians are leading America to the wrong path and to the path of self-destruction. They are oppressing peoples of Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, etc., and they can rise up to testify to the American war atrocities, injustice, and brutality. Millions of refugees can also rise up to testify against the American evil empire which has been established by American presidents and politicians since Nixon. Who are responsible for making America the most hated nation on earth. Why Japanese citizens do not want America to have military bases in Japan? Why Koreans do not want American military bases in Korea? Why Germany said No to America?
2. The United Nations, the members of the United Nations, most reputable international institutions, and all nations of the world oppressed by the Axis of Evil led by America (excluding Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, UK, EU, NATO, etc.) can testify what the American government has done since Nixon. They can also testify what China has done since Nixon. The only nation on earth which has lifted up 750 million Chinese from poverty is China. The poor and backward country has become the second largest economy in the world by hard work and thrift. In comparison, the population of poor Americans has increased a great deal since Nixon. The Nixon era was the golden age of American history. In the last 40 years China has achieved most spectacular successes in all fields and fronts than any nation on earth. China has aided more than 100 nations without strings attached. Out of envy and jealousy, American presidents and politicians as well as European politicians target and treat China as an enemy. Why the whole world is worried about American unilateralism, including American European and Asian allies? Now America stands alone in the world in spite of its military might.
3. Since Nixon’s trip to China, American presidents and politicians have attacked and engaged in numerous unjust wars and bloody military interventions to this day. Since Nixon, China has not attacked or occupied one single nation. On the contrary China has aided more than 100 nations in many ways, and most recently in helping many nations to fight against the CORONAVIRUS pandemic which the Pompous Pompeo (Pompeo’s piety or pomp is called tartuffery) and other politicians falsely accused China of inventing and spreading of the COVID-19. These malicious accusers have been discredited and denied by large group of impeccable international scientists and specialists. Why to call on nations to induce change in the Chinese government when Beijing’s actions never threaten Americans and our prosperity? China has never threatened the security and prosperity of any nation or its people. In fact, China trade has contributed greatly and tremendously to American prosperity. Why Chinese tourists are most welcome by all capitalistic nations? American farmers, retail business and others can testify to the benefit of China trade. China has changed for the better is the truth no honest man can deny. Ask most Americans has America changed for the worse since Nixon? This is a well-known fact for the whole world to see. Can America change from an evil empire back to a respectable Republic?
4. American model of democracy has failed so miserably that a great number of Americans express their disapproval and disappointment in protests and demonstrations across the nation since the public murder of a black suspect by a white policeman televised life on TV. Ask yourself if American democracy is good and right, why so many Americans across the nation protest and demonstrate in demanding justice, equality and true freedom? Why does the American income disparity become the largest gap in the world? When one percent of population rules over the ninety nine percent, do you call it democracy and freedom? When presidents and politicians incur the largest deficits and debts in the world, is that demonstrating America succeeding? How can there be unrest on American streets in so many cities across America if the American democracy is a glorious success? Why does the Homeland Security powers turn against Americans? Why chaos in Hong Kong is a shining scene, but chaos in America is not. Why do most Americans think China has done well to protect its people from CORONAVIRUS pandemic, while most Americans do not believe their government has done a good job in protecting Americans?
5. Be honest, and study history. You will find out Western powers, Great Britain, Japan, and the United States have wronged China too many times since the infamous Opium Wars. Strangest phenomenon is the recent facts, that America, United Kingdom, Australia, Taiwan, etc. have planned and funded some young Chinese traitors and terrorists to create riots and terrorism in Hong Kong. Those Chinese terrorists killed, burned, looted, bombed, robbed, smashed doors and windows of public and private properties, created obstacles in public transportation, attacked and wounded police force, caused chaos, lawlessness, fear and unrest among Hong Kong residents and businesses for more than a year; the former U.S. presidents and current president and American and European politicians called those riots in Hong Kong a fight for freedom and cheered and applauded those anarchists and criminals. Now that China has enacted a national security law to protect Hong Kong and its sovereignty, the evil legacy of British empire which never practiced democracy or freedom in its colonies, America, and others hypocritically say that Hong Kong is losing democracy and freedom. America, UK, Australia, New Zealand, EU, Canada, etc. have violated the sovereignty of China and interfered in China’s internal affairs without shame or reason. In comparison with the recent demonstrations and protests conducted by Americans across the country after a black man was killed in public on TV by a white policeman and with Hong Kong riots; the City of Portland is a case in point. The mayor was among the crowds hit by tear gas. The federal agents are armed well like the military. The current president calls those American protesters “thugs”, “terrorists”, “anarchists”, etc. Well are they not American freedom fighters all over the country? When terrorists did evil in Hong Kong Western politicians called them freedom fighters. When Americans protest and demonstrate against injustice and government corruption they are called thugs, terrorists and anarchists. This double standard and duplicity would even embarrass the devil.
6. The United States is the only nation which is having military bases all over the world to target China and Russia with the largest quantity of weapons of mass destruction. America is daily conducting military exercises and operations in China’s and Russian air space and territorial waters threatening the peace and stability of the world, how is that they call it China threat and Russia threat? No China plane or warship ever get close to American east and west coast. The increasing provocative and oppressive military, diplomatic, trade, economic, financial, technological, etc. actions against China and Russia, etc. loom large in the horizon that an all out nuclear war is preparing and leading by the United States. Can any honest, conscientious, and patriotic American say such American engagement is good to America and good to the world? Do you see American president and politicians are committing suicide by leading America and the world to the brink of total destruction? Who has the truth and standing in the truth? Let the God of Righteousness be the Judge, and let Americans have the right to form their own opinion without fear or retaliation. Do Americans want an Imperial America or a respected Republic?
7. Jesus says, Mat 12:36, “But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for it in the Day of Judgment.” The Day of Judgment is coming. How can European and American imperialists and colonialists and Japanese militarists give an accounting for what they have done to the world in the last 500 years or more in terms of genocide, massacre, mass slaughter, slave labor, sex slavery, robbery, burning, torture, looting, oppression, exploitation, occupation, etc. The Judge of the Living and Dead may ask American and European politicians about the so-called China virus, China threat, etc.
8. With boldness I predicted the incumbent will lose big in the November presidential election, not because his opponent is good (I will never vote for Biden), but because the great majority of American voters are disgusted and distressed with the wrong national policies, black lies, special interests that dominate America, incompetent leadership, and dismal failures of the incumbent. 80% of Americans think America is going in the wrong direction. This does not mean Biden and the Democratic Party have the right national policy and leading the nation to the right direction. This is the great tragedy of the American state of the Union. What nations want to follow America except Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, etc. which have their ulterior motive?
9. Let the oppressed nations and impoverished peoples of the world rise up to form a New World Order. A New World Order where the days of white supremacy rule are numbered and over. A New Word Order where unilateralism is discarded, where imperialism is dead and buried, where black lies are on the run, and where multilateralism and justice will govern the world, and where nations and peoples will work together for the common good, for peace, progress and prosperity.
10. The West has enjoyed power and wealth for the last 500 years. The whole world knows that Western democracy and freedom are big lies. What the United States and its allies are most afraid of is soon China will become the world number one economy and the Chinese citizens continuously enjoy so many rights and privileges, the world will naturally think the American model of government is a dismal failure, and that the Chinese model of government is the apparent great success that the whole world can see before their eyes. Consequently, the new world order has peacefully overthrown the Western supremacy and begun a new age where each nation big or small may decide which model they want to adopt and which system of government they feel comfortable to live under. The days of Western aggression are numbered.
40. A New World Order
Western imperialists, colonialists, capitalists, militarists, hegemonists, supremacists, monopolists have dictated and dominated the world in the last 500 years to the present day. America and Europe use their military might, nuclear weapons, political and economic and technological supremacy want to continue and maintain the status quo. They view China and Russia without reason as their enemies who stand in their way. Their unilateralism may unknowingly and unintentionally bring about the nuclear war that destroys the whole world. American and European leaders and politicians are blinded by their unholy ambition and self-interest and totally devoid of morality and integrity; they lie, kill, and rob without shame. A peaceful change with a New World Order is therefore imperative.
A New World Order will establish International Security, where big and small nations obey International Laws and work together for mutual progress and prosperity. Out of these big and small nations, international leadership must be established and recognized so that the world is free to take a new direction in seeking a just and lasting peace (such as the platform of the United Nations, WTO, WHO, ETC.) with the vision of the great President Richard Nixon. When Geopolitics is in a condition of peace, justice, and tranquility; hundreds of flowers may blossom and millions of good trees may bear good fruits. There each nation is building a good society of its own, and where Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Civility, and Security become the wealth of nations.

42. THE LAST 500 YEARS
Many Western leaders and politicians who claim to be Christians are actually children of the devil who rules the present world. They are doing what their father desires. Pompeo and his master are leading America to self-destruction, falsely using the name of freedom and democracy to fool the world, they are actually plotting and scheming to have America and Europe maintain their status quo of continuously dictating and dominating the world. They lie, tell lies, make lies, believe in lies, spread lies and practice lies.
For the last 500 years European imperialists and colonialists, and for the last 300 years American imperialists and supremacists, have ruled the world with phony capitalism, democracy, freedom, and human rights. The peaceful rise of China posts the greatest threat to America, Europe and its allies. American presidents, and politicians and European counterparts fear China is going to surpass and bypass them to replace them. Soon China will be be the number one economy in the world. Militarily they also fear Russia and China standing together. So they organize covertly and overtly and conduct a last-ditch campaign to smear and stain China as the authoritarian rule and rouse the so-called free world to be against China. America has a long history of using the name of national security to cover up many aggression, atrocity, intervention, oppression, and sanction. American and European leaders tell lies, spread lies and practice lies to cover up their evil deeds. They falsely charged Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, so they attacked and occupied Iraq, murdered Hussein, and robbed the country blind. These white supremacists are very sly and shred; they incited, plotted, and financed some young Hong Kong Chinese anarchists, traitors and terrorists to cause bloody riots and violent terrors to destabilize the government in order to make Hong Kong an American colony like Taiwan.
Now that China has enacted a national security law to protect Hong Kong and its residents, the white supremacists (Western leaders, politicians, reporters, diplomats, journalists, authors, professors, executives, commentators, etc. hypocritically say they are worried Hong Kong is losing democracy and freedom; and so they organize a campaign to incite the so-called free world to pit against China. The funny bone is the fact the Axis of Evil led by America with a few number of followers like UK, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, NATO, and vacillating EU about unilateralism. China has never attacked, occupied, or interfered with any nation’s internal matters. China has aided more than 100 nations with no strings attacked. The real free world is the great majority of nations under the UN that practices multilateralism and they are well-aware of the atrocities and injustice and war crimes committed by imperial America and European nations. The great majority of nations in the UN support China and Russia. Henry David Thoreau said, “It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.” Wherever China is ahead, America is afraid. It is hoped that white supremacists would not do a desperate thing to start a nuclear war which will cause mutual destruction and the destruction of the whole world. Too bad that Queen Elizabeth lived to be 96 years old but she missed her last chance to apologize for all the evil deeds the British empire had done in the world in the last 500 years.
According to report, 21 Nov, 2019 Henry Kissinger made the statement and warns: “US-China tensions could lead to a conflict worse than First World War.”
Hear Ye Hear Ye! I disagree with this understatement. In my opinion, if the United States wages a war against China, it is not going to be worse than the First or Second World War. For First and Second World Wars were conventional wars.
This coming war is a nuclear war. It will spell out mutual destruction and destruction of the whole world. China never wants war. Clearly America and NATO and Australia and Canada, etc. do everything to provoke and oppress and sanction China and Russia without cause and without measure, they definitely and clearly want war to eliminate competitors in order to maintain world domination and dictatorship. American and Western strategists and warmongers are deadly wrong in miscalculating as does the “RAND PLAN” they could fight a war launching from American world-wide military bases against China and Russia as they used to fight all previous wars on foreign lands. This war is different because it is nuclear. China and Russia will respond with all-out nuclear weapons targeting the whole mainland America, blanketing from California to New York, from South to North. The whole United States will be like a million 9-11, a million Sodom(s) and Gomorrah(s) burning. The destruction inside America will be unprecedented and unstoppable and unthinkable. By analogy, a thousand hawks will tear the Eagle to pieces. Simultaneously, all American global military bases will be wiped out and annihilated! No one will be a winner. It means total doom and destruction of the world!
43. BIBLICAL ADVERBS
There are some self-appointed and self-anointed experts and so-called authorities of the English language, Text or Composition who hold an opinion that a good article must not contain adverbs. The more adverbs you have, the less value your article. This is nothing but hogwash and balderdash. I cite the masterpiece of the world to rebut and refute this thesis. I want you to know that a great English composition or essay does not do away from adverbs.For the Word of God uses adverbs greatly and abundantly. I always test and measure the world standard by the Word of God; I never measure and test the Word of God by the world standard.
God used the adverb “greatly”.
Gen 3:16, “To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth, in pain you will bring forth children; yet your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”
Note: Greatly in Hebrew is rabah which means very much; more; exceedingly; to make much; to increase; to be mighty; to do much; to give much; to make great; – which occurs in the Old Testament 246 times. No joke, God says to Eve who sinned that God will greatly multiply her pain in childbirth. Because I had learned gynecology and delivery, and had watched different types of delivery including Caesarean Section, I hold the opinion if the husband watches how his wife suffers during labor and giving birth, he will love his wife even more. One woman told me that kidney stone pain is worse than labor pain.
Jesus Christ uses the adverb “truly, truly.”
Jhn 3:5, “Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God.”
Note: Truly in Greek is amēnwhich means verily, surely, firmly, properly, assuredly, certainly; – which occurs 129 times in the New Testament.
Here is a quote from Emerson’s Self-Reliance:
“To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men, — that is genius. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the utmost,—— and our first thought is rendered back to us by the trumpets of the Last Judgment. Familiar as the voice of the mind is to each, the highest merit we ascribe to Moses, Plato, and Milton is, that they set at naught books and traditions, and spoke not what men but what they thought. A man should learn to detect and watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within, more than the luster of the firmament of bards and sages. Yet he dismisses without notice his thought, because it is his. In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts: they come back to us with a certain alienated majesty. Great works of art have no more affecting lesson for us than this. They teach us to abide by our spontaneous impression with good-humored inflexibility then most when the whole cry of voices is on the other side. Else, to-morrow a stranger will say with masterly good sense precisely what we have thought and felt all the time, and we shall be forced to take with shame our own opinion from another.”
44. The most shocking thing happening in America recently is not nuclear explosion, not market crash, not Wall Street created economic crisis, not alienation between EU and America, not even incompetent politicians, not racial riots, not Capitol mayhem, not COVID-19, not Americans losing confidence, not the enemies of America…It is LIE. LIES have dominated American government and politics. LIES have controlled the two parties. LIES have prompted the American politicians. LIES have driven the American mainstream media and marginal and abnormal media. LIES have overwhelmed business and industry. LIES have motivated charity. LIES have become rampant in every walk of life. LIES appear in all platforms. LIES underline every thought, speech, and act. LIES and not truth prevail in the land;the nation is destitute of TRUTH. People do not listen to the truth. Politicians do not speak the truth, they suppress the truth and turn away from the truth. There is no truth in them. People cannot discern the truth. No one seeks truth. Truth has stumbled in the street, they fling truth to the ground. Truth is lacking in America. There is no truth in the world. What is truth?Jesus Christ is the Truth, whoever opposes the truth opposes Christ. Whoever are enemies of the truth are the enemies of Christ. Whoever obeys the truth, obeys Jesus Christ. Whoever receives the love of the truth can be saved. Repentance to God can lead to the knowledge of the truth. America repent or perish!
45. Distorted Magic Mirror invented by America. American leaders and politicians have a distorted magic mirror: when they see themselves solely aggressive, oppressive, deceptive, provocative, abusive, destructive…That turns into a perverted view and they call it China.
46. The house of marriage that was not built and laid a foundation on the Rock, sooner or latter will be rocked by winds and waves of events and time, and will be on the rocks because infidelity is a rock of offense that $130 billion dollars cannot save it.
47. There is no greater coward than those who oppress the weak.
48. If you need something done well and quickly, do it yourself.
49. A bird which is always late, will never catch the worms.
50. A useless life is an early death.
51. What cannot be realized in life I seek in my dream.
52. There is no greater joy than marrying the woman you love and the woman who loves you.
53. How to save yourself.
The subject does not relate to how to save yourself from sin and eternal damnation in Hell. No one can save himself from sin and penalty of sin. That is only what Jesus Christ can do for you.
Jhn 8:24 ,“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
Note: Unless you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God whom God sent to save the world and repent of your sins, you will die in your sins. No religion and no other man can save you from your sins. How to prove it? As Jesus says, you will die in your sins. The wages of sin is death. All will die because all have sinned. If you have not sinned, you will not die.
But you can save yourself from many terrible things. Above all, you can save yourself from yourself. To save yourself from yourself, you have to know yourself. The first prerequisite to know yourself is to have a full realization of your own ignorance, stupidity, inadequacy, incompetency, defect, fault, flaw, failure, shortcomings and weaknesses. You can be your own greatest friend or greatest enemy. If you do something bad for yourself, you are your own greatest enemy. If you do something good for yourself, you are your own greatest friend.
(A). Ignorance.
Everyone is ignorant in the things they do not know. There are infinite things that you and I do not know. Even an arrogant scientist does not know when he is going to die. A willingness to learn and a pursuit of knowledge will reduce your ignorance. I have known people who thought something must be wrong simply because they did not know it. Just like a high school student thought the Einstein’s formula of E=mc ² was wrong because he could not understand it. When I was a kid I was fascinated by the Book of Proverbs; try the Wisdom of Solomon it might enlighten you in human affairs. I told my students, everyone was born stupid (except Jesus who was God and became Man), that is why you need a college education.
(B). Bad Temper.
Try to be reasonable, for a reasonable man does not easily lose his senses or lose his temper. When things go wrong, you could be the blame. If you are right, you have no reason to get angry. If you are wrong, you have no right to get angry. If your subordinate makes a blunder, it could be you failed to give good instruction or properly train your worker. The team fails it may be you are a poor manager. If you cannot control your temper, it is like a car losing the brake. A hot-tempered person destroys himself and others. To save yourself from bad temper is vital in saving yourself from yourself.
(C). Laziness.
I am not sure whether some people were born diligent like an eager beaver or not. I know everyone can get lazy. Laziness is advanced by bad habits. You can develop a bad habit of getting up late, not finishing what you do, not doing your homework or household work, etc. Lazy people lack self-discipline and usually unmotivated. Study the ants; if you are lazy, you are no better than an ant. A responsible person must do what he must do, that is why no responsible people can be lazy. There is no hope for lazybones, not even in this world. The choice is yours.
(D). Dirtiness.
A person is dirty could be influenced by his culture and background or ignorance. There are primitive people who do not brush their teeth. There are poor people who have no facility to take a bath. There is a correlation between the level of a civilization and the condition of a toilet. The higher the civilization, the cleaner the toilet. The lower the civilization, the dirtier the toilet. Those who smoke, spit, and litter have uncivilized customs or habits. A man who has self-respect cannot be dirty.
(E). Arrogance.
People who are arrogant overestimate themselves with a sense of superiority and have a wrong world view like white and black supremacists who want to dominate the world. Arrogance is also a spiritual sickness that ruined Lucifer the angel who turned into the devil. Learn humility by practice. Inform yourself no one is humble enough. If you think you are humble enough, you are not humble at all. Remember what the Bible says, Pro 16:18 , “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.” Self-indulgence is the path to self-destruction. Imperialists, hegemonists, militarists, capitalists, terrorists, dictators and oppressors are all arrogant people who have done great evil in the world. All evil empires have fallen and will fall.
(F). Impatience.
People who are impatient have character flaws. Impatient people are either childish or immature. The plant takes time to grow; you cannot make it grow by pulling. Rome is not built in a day. Almost anything worthwhile takes time to develop or achieve. One man told me it took him 10 years to earn his B.A. degree.
(G). Poverty.
The world is not fair; some people were born rich, and most were born poor. By hard work and education, most people can lift themselves out of poverty. When you are educated, you have skills. When you have knowledge and skills, you are employable. When you are employed, you receive wages and at least you are no longer poor. I am aware how capitalists oppress workers by making them slave labors with low wages. I told my students, if you have the ability to think, speak and write – no matter in what life situation and social circumstance, you will do well. America is a racist society with all sorts of discrimination and dominated by white people while blacks enjoy Affirmative Action with special rights and treatments. If you have knowledge and skills, although you cannot reach the top with your potential, at least you would not be poor. However, America has changed structurally and speedily since the golden days of President Richard Nixon that today higher education becomes unaffordable and thus chances of social mobility become less and less. A good government must provide educational opportunities and decent employment for all its citizens. What I am suggesting here is what you can do for yourself, not what you can do to change the government or system of government.
(H). Failure.
Almost any ordinary person can have an ordinary success. An ordinary person must not try to achieve an extraordinary success. If you are not good in mathematics, do not aspire to be a mathematician. If you cannot draw, do not dream of becoming a great master like Leonardo da Vinci or Rembrandt. If you are not specially gifted, it is no use of trying to be a great writer or thinker. Do not harbor an unholy ambition. It is bad to become the richest man in the world by monopoly and predatory practices; even the monetary success is a dismal moral failure. I know a man who was born poor in a log cabin. He wanted to be a lawyer. By self-study he succeeded to become a lawyer. He wanted to serve the people, and he got elected to the Congress. Eventually he became the president of the United States – the greatest president of the United States. This illustrates by determination a person can lift himself up and made himself somebody. However, not everything you aspire can be achieved. It is romantic to try the impossible dream; in practice what is impossible for man is never possible. The man who preached the probability gospel and prosperity gospel, his cathedral filed for bankruptcy and was sold. Only with God nothing is impossible and everything is possible. Don’t try to imitate the eagle to fly without wings.
(I). Extremism.
An extreme man is a product of unbalanced and immoral action, incorrect perception and erroneous conception. That was why Goldwater failed. That was why Hitler failed. The best thing in life is to go the right path, without turning to the right or turning to the left. The golden mean is to avoid excess or insufficiency. Too much is just as bad as too little. Too generous is as bad as too selfish. Too much sweet turns sour. Too much light blinds the eye. Blessed is the man who knows what is enough is enough.
54.The poor and the foolish.
This is a startling fact about human beings: The poor know that they are poor, but the foolish do not know they are foolish. The ignorant do not know they are ignorant. There are countless examples to support the thesis. For one, an ignorant Chinese said the Federal Express belongs to the United States government; he knew that because he had been to America. It is futile and useless to argue with people who pretend to know what they do not know at all. The foolish says, death is the end of everything; not knowing there is judgment after death, and Hell is prepared for the unbelievers and the wicked.
55. The Limits of Human Knowledge
The following questions confront mankind:
Do you know?
What do you know?
How do you know?
Do you not know?
What can you know?
Do you not know whatthese things mean?
Do you not know what these are?
Do you not know that a littleleaven leavens the whole lump of dough?
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inheritthe kingdom of God?
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize?
Do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?
There are limits to the human knowledge.
You do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked.
You donot know what misfortune may occur on the earth.
You do not know the activity of God who makeseverything.
You do not know destruction will come on you suddenly.
You do not know greatand mighty things.
You do not know what you are asking.
You do not know which dayyour Lord is coming.
You do not know when the appointed time is.
Youdo not know how to analyze this present time.
You do not know about.
Pro 27:1, “Do not boast about tomorrow, For you do not know what a day may bring.”
56. THE ERRORS OF THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH:
(A). The Bible does not recognize papacy.
(B). The worship of Mary as the Mother of God is against the Bible.
(C). The church does not have absolute authority.
(D). Transubstantiation is not according to Bible.
(E). There is no purgatory.
(F). The Bible does not prohibit marriage for servants of Christ.
(G). The priest is also a sinner does not have power to forgive sins.
(H). Salvation is not by good deeds, for no one is good enough for Heaven.
(I). Apostolic succession is not according to the Bible.
(J). The pope has no power to make sainthood.
(K). Birth control is o.k. while abortion is wrong.
57. The reasons of short life
It was amazing that God let Adam lived to be 930 years old. In the beginning the humankind had longevity.
Today man has much shorter life for many reasons:
A. Polluted air
B. Polluted water
e. g. American military bases at home and abroad pollute the water sources.
C. Polluted food
D. Polluted environment
E. Hostile social environment
F. Corrupt political system
G. Worries of the world
H. Diseases and pandemics
I. High costs of health care
J. Unemployment and poverty
K. Wars of aggression and civil war
58. The prospect of a nuclear war
All the evidence points to the fact that the U.S. and its allies EU, UK, NATO, Gang-7, Canada, Australia, Japan, etc. prepare and want to have war with Russia and China. When the West oppresses and pushes Russia to a corner such as the Ukraine crisis, it greatly increases the chances of nuclear war which will end the world.
Americans, Europeans, and the peoples of the world are not aware and alert to the truth of danger!!!
JESUS CHRIST IS COMING AGAIN SOON.
ARE YOU READY TO MEET GOD?
YOU CAN BY REPENTING and BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, AND THE SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. THERE IS NO HOPE FOR THE WORLD BUT JESUS CHRIST.
Descendants of American Flying Tigers whose forefathers had sacrified their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinse government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanse aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN overappointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much covergage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
International community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron reognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezebolla, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukranians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless.Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, overappointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voordoism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.
<span style=”display:inline-block;width:160px;height:30px;text-align:center;border:#000 1px dotted;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;background-color:#FFFFFF;”><strong style=”display:block;padding:0px;margin:0px;”></strong><a href=”http://www.submitexpress.com/” title=”SEO Company Los Angeles” style=”font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:11px;”>SEO Company Los Angeles</a></span>
They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, andthat the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.

It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish landand relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news,counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.
Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.

BY WILLIE WONG
THIS ARTICLE IS WRITTEN TO LET YOU KNOW THE IMPORTANCE TO BE WRITTEN.
Years ago I was led to write a most powerful letter to the paramount leader of China Deng Xiaoping, on how to modernize China. I shared my thoughts with him. He was moved that he picked up the phone to call the Chinese general consul in San Francisco and instructed him to write a letter to thank me. You know spoken words through phone may fly away with the wind. It could not have record. This may be the cultural and political protocol which was different from the West. I wrote to President Richard Nixon on the importance of opening up with China and the need of the most powerful nation and the most populated nation to communicate with each other. To my great delight President Nixon personally responded and the letter is made known to the whole world. The record is permanent. I would not sell it for a $million dollars. There were also letters from other presidents. I also wrote to the President of France George Pompidu on President Nixon’s desire to end the Vietnam War, I solicited help from President Pompidu. From the book of Julie Eisenhower Nixon I learned that President Pompidu played a role behind the scene. A foreign president even wrote back to me with a personal signature.
Upon reflection, I regret deeply that Deng Xiaoping did not sit down to write down his thoughts, using the official stationery of Zhong Nanhai (the equivalent of White House), and signing the letter with the official zeal of China. Imagine if Deng Xiaoping wrote that letter and put down his policy and philosophy about modernizing China, not only the letter would be worth $10 million, Mr. Deng will be immortalized. Of course, I would donate to the Chinese government to be in glass show case in display at the Great Hall of the People and millions even billions of Chinese and foreign visitors will read and see the letter themselves. I imagine peoples from all over the world would want to read the thoughts and see the signature of Mr. Deng and the prospect of a great and glorious China. This will be more important than a marble sculpture dedicated to Mr. Deng. Too bad the letter was never written. I realize the importance and value of being written.
It is a fact that some civilizations did not have a written language, therefore there is no historical record of those civilizations.
Our main tool as historians is what has been written by those who came before us. In fact, this is what formally defines history and sometimes sets it apart from archaeology and anthropology. For example, the oldest written records archaeologists have discovered in Egypt are from over 5,000 years ago; the date when they were created is the currently accepted date at which formal history (as opposed to “prehistory”) begins in that part of the world. Of course, we might one day find older records!
Even with written records, though, we have to be careful and thoughtful. The writing may be in a dead language that we know little about. If one tribe conquers another, we might only get the biased, one-sided story of those who won and wrote about it.
Many times, narratives are only written down after generations of being transmitted orally, through speech, with every transmitter of the story consciously or unconsciously changing the specifics. Even for events that happened yesterday, two direct observers could have two completely different perceptions of what happened, how, and why.”
“Outcomes of China’s opening up and reform only tell half the story
2018-06-22 12:32:00 Source：China.org.cn Author：By Haifa Said
The remarkable transformations resulting from China’s 1978 reform and opening up policy undoubtedly speak volumes about the value of those milestone decisions. However, the outcomes themselves are by no means the whole story.
To look at such a diverse and multidimensional process, marking its 40th anniversary this year, from the perspective of merely measuring achievements, grand as they are, would be a simplistic reading. What makes China’s most defining change in modern history interesting, aside from its outcomes, is the unique way these reforms have been carried out.
For one, literal adherence to the ideology of the ruling Communist Party have become no longer the sole criterion and guarantor of truth. Instead, moving from ideology to pragmatism, policy reform has been built on a new norm of practical experimentation and direct implementation.
Leader Deng Xiaoping, the “father of reforms,” struck a courageous and realistic note in a 1979 speech when he called upon China to talk more about economics and less about politics. While not ignoringthe theoretical basis of the political sphere, he said equal effort should also be devoted to the applied theory of economy, especially in the fields of agriculture, industry, commerce and management.
The reality was that China at that time was one of the poorest countries in the world, lagging behind not only developed countries but also its rapidly developing Asian neighbors. Deng’s philosophy and that of former Premier Zhou Enlai were in line with this need to bridge the development gap by introducing ideological reviews, as well as minimizing the focus on theories that stressed inevitable conflict between socialist and capitalist countries.
Their aim was to make Chinese socialism more practical and consistent with urgent efforts to achieve economic gains in order to effectually improve the living conditions of long-impoverished citizens.
Deng Xiaoping’s reform policy, considered radical at that time, was officially embraced at the 3rd plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in December 1978. The policy outlined the need to follow new economic management methods, introduce advanced technologies, boost economic exchange with the outside world and scale down centralism in the planned economy system to spur vitality and development.
Among other results, academic competence, rather than students’ family background and political affiliations, became the new criterion for university admission. In economic work as well, professionalism and efficiency were set as the new standard for promotion, further enhanced by the introduction of an incentives system and a policy of paying according to the amount and type of work done, which was a fundamental departure from the previous egalitarian “Iron Rice Bowl” policy.
Unlike in the “Great Leap Forward” era, when disastrous human losses resulted from the overstretching of agricultural resources based on unrealistic administration policies, the more pragmatic approach of the post-1978 period took into account the economic and social realities to achieve solid nationwide development.
Gradualism and experimentalism shaped the new approach, in which partial reforms were applied in one field and, upon success, were expanded and approved as national policy.”
You know no matter how good China Today can write about Mr. Deng’s national policy on modernization of China, it is quite different if Mr. Deng spoke out for himself on record. I regret the loss is forever.
II. According to the Scriptures
It is a historical record when the devil tempted the Lord Jesus three times, the Lord Jesus responded with the Word of God, “It is written”, as the weapon against the devil. Jesus quoted the Holy Scriptures as if the only Holy Scriptures, and the implication all other written materials are not important and have no authority. Only the Scriptures matter. All other writings do not matter. This is the attitude of Jesus Christ concerning the Word of God. How much more followers of Jesus Christ must put the Word of God as supreme, ultimate, foremost, and highest. A Christian can never put any human words on par with the Word of God. By the way I have studied scholars and theologians, I discover they are full of falsehoods, hogwash and nonsense.
The first temptation:
Mat 4:2-4, ”And after He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him,
“If You are the Son of God, command that these
stones become bread.”
But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.”
Food is so important to mankind. The Chinese consider food as Heaven. It was after Jesus had fasted for forty days and forty nights when He became hungry that the tempter who is the devil began his temptation. You and I cannot imitate Jesus to fast for forty days and forty nights. It was not that Jesus could not command that the stones become bread. We must never do as the devil suggested. Jesus is the Son of God who does not need to prove anything to the devil.
People can survive two or four days without water, but if you’re in a hot climate, it may be less. Cavan Images/Getty Images”
The second temptation:
Mat 4:5-7, “Then the devil took Him along into the Holy City and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and he said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written: ‘HE WILL GIVE HIS ANGELS ORDERS CONCERNING YOU’; and ‘ON THEIR HANDS THEY WILL LIFT YOU UP, SO THAT YOU DO NOT STRIKE
YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.’” Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written: ‘YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.’”
Of course all angels obey and serve Jesus Christ. The devil wanted Jesus to tempt God. Jesus again used the Word of God, it is written, to defeat the devil. Christians must never put the Lord our God to the test.
The third temptation:
Mat 4:8-10,“Again, the devil took Him along to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall
down and worship me.”
Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
We learn great truths from the temptation of the devil:
(1). The devil can misquote the Bible, so do his children.
(2). The Word of God is the Sword of the Spirit, the weapon most effective against the devil.
Eph 6:17, “And take the helmet of salvation and the
Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
(3). A thorough understanding of the Word of God is the best defense against different doctrine and devilish wisdom.
Heb 4:12, “For the Word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, even
penetrating as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the
thoughts and intentions of the heart.”
(4). To worship the Lord and serve Him is the only thing Christians do. There is no other. You cannot serve two masters.
(5). The Bible interprets itself and does not contradict itself.
importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures”
The first importance of Christianity is that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried and was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.
Christianity is totally based on the Scriptures, the Holy Scriptures. The Holy Scriptures is the Holy Bible.
I neither have interest nor intention to argue about other scriptures of other religions. There is religious freedom, you may believe whatever you want to believe. For Christianity, the Holy Scriptures is only the Holy Bible. According to in Greek is kata which means after; in conformity with; as stated or attested by; in agreement with; on the authority of; consistent with; — which occurs 482 times in the New Testament. When we say according to the Scriptures, we usually mean on the authority of the Scriptures. The Holy Bible is the only written authority of the Church and the body of Christians of all generations.
Sola scriptura (by scripture alone in English) is a theological doctrine held by some Protestant Christian denominations that the Christian scriptures are the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice.
While the scriptures’ meaning is mediated through many kinds of subordinate authority, such as the ordinary teaching offices of a denominated church, the ecumenical creeds, the councils of the catholic church, and so on – sola scriptura, on the other hand, rejects any original infallible authority other than the Bible. In this view, all subordinate authority is derived from the authority of the scriptures and is therefore subject to reform when compared to the teaching of the Bible. Church councils, preachers, Bible commentators, private revelation, or even a message allegedly from an angel or an apostle are not an original authority alongside the Bible in the sola scriptura approach.
Sola scriptura is a formal principle of many Protestant Christian denominations, and one of the five solae. It was a foundational doctrinal principle of the Protestant Reformation held by many of the Reformers, who taught that authentication of scripture is governed by the discernible excellence of the text as well as the personal witness of the Holy Spirit to the heart of each man. Some evangelical and Baptist denominations state the doctrine of sola scriptura more strongly: scripture is self-authenticating, clear (perspicuous) to the rational reader, its own interpreter (“Scripture interprets Scripture”), and sufficient of itself to be the final authority of Christiandoctrine.[1]
By contrast, Anglicanism and Methodism, also considered forms of Protestantism, uphold the doctrine of prima scriptura,[2][3] with scripture being illumined by tradition, reason and experience as well, thus completing the four sides of, in Methodism, the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.[4] The Eastern Orthodox Church holds that to “accept the books of the canon is also to accept the ongoing Spirit-led authority of the church’s tradition, which recognizes, interprets, worships, and corrects itself by the witness of Holy Scripture”.[5]
Overview
Sola scriptura was one of the main theological beliefs that Martin Luther proclaimed against the Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation.
Sola scriptura is one of the five solae, considered by some Protestant groups to be the theological pillars of the Reformation.[9] The key implication of the principle is that interpretations and applications of the scriptures do not have the same authority as the scriptures themselves; hence, the ecclesiastical authority is viewed as subject to correction by the scriptures, even by an individual member of the church.
Martin Luther said, “a simple layman armed with Scripture is greater than the mightiest pope without it”. The intention of the Reformation was to correct what he asserted to be the errors of the Catholic Church by appeal to the uniqueness of the Bible‘s textual authority. Catholic doctrine is based in sacred tradition, as well as scripture. Sola scriptura rejected the assertion that infallible authority was given to the magisterium to interpret both scripture and tradition.[6]
Sola scriptura, however, does not ignore Christian history, tradition, or the church when seeking to understand the Bible. Rather, it sees the church as the Bible’s interpreter, the regula fidei (embodied in the ecumenical creeds) as the interpretive context, and scripture as the only final authority in matters of faith and practice.[10] As Luther said, “The true rule is this: God’s Word shall establish articles of faith, and no one else, not even an angel can do so.”[11]
I believe all Christians of all generations would agree with Martin Luther.
AMERICA is a land where truth is trampled and falsehood is glorified. Western media has license and immunity to say as many lies as they want to publish about China, ETC.
When an American tells the truth about a certain race, immediately he is labeled a racist with hate crime. The hate crimes I had watched on TV were a black youth all covered up to hide his identity and violently pushed a Asian elderly walking from behind, that the old man fell headlong and died later. A big black man was stamping on the head and body of small Asian woman repeatedly while another black man was witnessing from a glass door and closing. Another incident was black men and black women looted an Asian store. The most shocking thing is the fact although all incidents were caught on TV, none of the blacks criminals were caught and prosecuted and reported on TV.
III. THE WORD OF GOD
When the devil tempted Jesus Christ three times, every Jesus used the Word of God “it is written” to defeat the devil.
Mat 4:4, “But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.’”
To write in Greek is graphōwhich means to describe; to express in written characters; to draw up in writing; to compose; to record; — which occurs 208 times in the New Testament. It is written simply means it is done or recorded in writing.
Food is of paramount importance to many races and peoples. To the Chinese, food is like Heaven. Jesus’ answer to the devil’s temptation is quoting the Holy Scriptures, “It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.” Jesus validates that the Holy Bible is every Word that comes out of the mouth of God.
I neither have interest nor intention to argue with others who consider their religions also have holy scriptures.
During Jesus’ time on earth, there was only the Old Testament, from Genesis through Malachi. Later the New Testament was completed from Matthew to Revelation through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. There could be no no mistake or misunderstanding that the Holy Bible all Christians of all generation believe is as follows:
“WhatIstheStructure of the Bible? The Bible is composed of 66 books, 39 in the Old Testamentand 27 in the New Testament. It’s not organized by date, but rather by genre – like alibrary. The Old Testament (OT) is called “old” because it came first. It is theBible that Jesus had, and it’s also called the Hebrew Bible.”
Above all, it is most important to know that Jesus Christ is the Living Word of God. The Word of Christ is the Word of God. When Christ speaks, God speaks.The Holy Scriptures testify about Jesus.
Jhn 5:39, “You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me.”
It matters to know the central message of the Holy Bible is Jesus Christ.
What should Christians do with the Scriptures?
Col 3:16-17, “Let the Word of Christ richly dwell within you,
with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. Whatever you do in word or
deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.”
Christians not only read the Holy Bible, must let the Word of Christ richly dwell in us. A good pastor should be able to provide wisdom teaching. Today you see know-nothing audience in the congregation because the preacher himself does not know the Word. You can do only in word or deed. Christians do everything (in word or deed) in the name of the Lord Jesus. Western leaders and politicians claim to be Christians, but they do everything in word or deed against the teaching of Christ.
Jhn 5:39, “You examine the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is those very Scriptures that testify about Me.”

Western leaders and politicians claim to be Christians, but they do everything in word or deed against the teaching of Christ.
Jhn 1:1-5,“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even
one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was Life, and the Life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.”
Jesus is the Living Word of God. When Jesus speaks, God speaks.
Jhn 1:14, “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us; and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”
God became man in the flesh of Jesus Christ, the only Son from the Father.
Act 17:11, “Now these people were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the Word with great eagerness, examining
the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.”
The Holy Scriptures are the Written Word of God.
The Holy Bible does not just contain the Word of God, it is the Word of God, “EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.”
the Word of God, but as from sincerity, but as from God, we speak in Christ in the sight of God.”
There are many who merchandise the Gospel and get rich by asking for donation. Here I want to ask those who translated the Bible and got rich. When did God give you the permission to translate the Bible and get copy right to publish and sell the version and make lots of money?
because of shame, not walking in trickery nor distorting the Word of God, but by the open proclamation of the truth commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in the sight of God.”
True preachers do open proclamation of the truth, false preachers walking in trickery and distorting the Word of God like prosperity gospel.
Eph 6:17, “And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.”
The Word of God, the Holy Bible, is the Sword of the Spirit that Jesus used against the devil. The most effective weapon against all false doctrines and heresies is the Word of God.
1Ti 4:5, “for it is sanctified by means of the Word of God and prayer.”
Christians are sanctified by means of the Word of God and prayers. If you watch TV daily, you are corrupted and polluted by the world. If you study the Word of God and pray, you are sanctified.
Rev 19:13, “He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.”
Remember, Jesus is called the Word of God, Jesus is the Word of God.
The Ten Commandments are the basis of all human laws. Originally God gave the Ten Commandments through Moses to the Jews, the descendants of Abraham with the Covenant. The Ten Commandments are still applicable to Christians except the Fourth because the New Testament does not order Christians to keep any day. I believe a Jewish Christian still needs to have circumcision and keep the Sabbath holy because it is written: Gen 17:9, “God said further to Abraham, “Now as for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your descendants after you throughout their generations.”
When I was a boy, how hard it was to study the Holy Bible, the King James Version, with the archaic Elisabetan English. Today, Christians who read English are blessed with many translations and versions of the English Bible absolutely free. All you need is a computer and the Internet.
I usually use New American standard Bible 2020. You can use it absolutely free.
IV. THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE
It is written,
Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the WAY, and the TRUTH, and the LIFE; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Jesus made a declaration about Himself that no one ever did and will ever do. This the Manifesto of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Way. I have neither interest nor intention to argue or debate with any other ways of religions. Christians of all generations believe Jesus is the Way. This is the TRUTH of Christianity, excluding so-called scientific truth or any other truth of any religion. The TRUTH in Christ gives LIFE, abundant life and eternal life.
Mar 14:62, “And Jesus said, “I AM; and you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of Heaven.”
Jesus is coming back again with the clouds of Heaven.
Luk 3:22, “and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from Heaven: “You are My beloved Son, in You I AM well pleased.”
God testified for His Son Jesus: Jesus is God’s beloved Son, in whom God is well pleased.
Luk 9:20, “And He said to them, “But who do you say that I AM?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
Peter knew Jesus is the Christ of God by revelation.
Luk 22:70, “And they all said, “So You are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say correctly that I AM.”
It is correct to say that Jesus is the Son of God.
Jhn 4:26, “Jesus said to her, “I AM He, the One speaking to you.”
Jesus is He the Prophets and the Scriptures are talking about.
Jhn 6:35, “Jesus said to them, “I AM the bread of life; the one who comes to Me will not be hungry, and the one who believes in Me will never be thirsty.”
Western people eat bread, the Oriental people eat rice. Jesus is the Bread of life means Jesus give us life, the spiritual life, the eternal life. There is no life without Jesus.
Jhn 6:41, “So then the Jews were complaining about
Him because He said, “I AM the bread that came down out of Heaven.”
God sent His Son Jesus Christ come down from Heaven to die for sinners as if His flesh is the Bread of life.
The bread we eat we shall die. Jesus is the Bread of life who gives us eternal life.
Jhn 6:51, “I AM the Living Bread that came down out of Heaven; if anyone eats from this bread, he will live forever; and the bread which I will give for the life of the world also is My flesh.”
The life that Jesus gives to believers will live forever.
Jhn 7:28, “Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know Me and you know where I AM from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.”
Jesus is from above, and God who sent Jesus is true.
Jhn 7:29, “I do know Him, because I AM from Him, and He sent Me.”
We know where Jesus is from because God sent Him.
God who sent Jesus is true.
Jhn 8:12, “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I AM the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
Jesus is the Light of the world: the one who follows Jesus will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.
Jhn 8:16,“But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I AM not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.”
When Jesus judges, His judgment is true; for Jesus is not alone in it, but Jesus and the Father who sent Him.
Jhn 8:18, “I AM He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”
Jesus testifies about Himself, and the Father who sent Him also testifies about Jesus.
Mat 3:16-17, “After He was baptized, Jesus came up
immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and settling on Him, and behold, a voice from the Heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
God said Jesus is His beloved Son, with whom He is well pleased.
Jhn 8:23, “And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I AM from above; you are of this world, I AM not of this world.”
There is a great difference between Jesus and us. Jesus is from above, from Heaven; we are from below, from the earth. We are of this world, Jesus is not of this world.
Jhn 8:24, “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
This is most serious. I stand and shout to the world: Unless you believe Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of mankind, you will die in your sins.
Jhn 8:58, “Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.”
Abraham was 2,000 years B.C. Truly is verily, really.
Jesus did not say truly, truly before Abraham was, I was. Jesus said, Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM. Jesus is before the universe was. Jesus is before time and space. Jesus is the eternal God, before everything. If you do not believe this, you will die in your sins. Adam can say before Abraham was born, he was. Adam cannot say, before Abraham was born, he is. Because by the time of Abraham, Adam was no more.
Jhn 10:7, “So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I AM the door of the sheep.”
Jesus is the door of the sheep.
What does it mean?
Jhn 10:9, “I AM the door; if anyone enters through
Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
Jesus is the door; if anyone enters through Jesus, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
What pasture is to the sheep, bread is to the man.
Jhn 10:11, “I AM the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”
Jesus is the Good Shepherd; the Good Shepherd died for His followers.
Jhn 10:14, “I AM the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me.”
Jesus is the Good Shepherd, and Jesus knows His own, and His own know Him. Jesus knows His believers, and His believers know Jesus.
Jhn 11:25, “Jesus said to her, “I AM the resurrection
and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies.”
Jesus is the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Jesus will live, even if he dies.
Jhn 12:26, “If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.”
To follow Jesus means to serve Jesus. The servant will be where the Master is. If anyone severs Jesus, the Father will honor him.
Jhn 12:32, “And I, if I AM lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to Myself.”
Jesus was lifted up through crucifixion, and He draws all people to Himself. Jesus died on the cross for my sins and draws me to Himself.
Jhn 13:13, “You call Me ‘Teacher’ and ‘Lord’; and you are correct, for so I AM.”
Jesus is our Teacher and Lord. It is correct for Christians to follow the teachings of our Teacher and commands of our Lord.
Jhn 13:34,“I AM giving you a new commandment, that you love one another; just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
The Lord is giving His disciples a new commandment, that we love one another. It is sad that Christians do not love one another. I have discovered two reasons: money and interest. Many churches, preachers, missions and denominations are competing to get donations. The same they compete in interest, the interest to be prominent. I discover the groups of a certain race have superiority complex, I also discovered “evangelical monopoly” in preaching, publishing, mission, etc. For your information, races do not exist in the Kingdom of Heaven.
Jhn 14:2, “In My Father’s home are many mansions; if that were not so, I would have told you, because
I AM going there to prepare a place for you.”
I believe the Lord Jesus has prepared a place for all His followers, it is called the New Jerusalem, the Holy City. The following is a preview. It would be much more amazing if you see it with your own eyes. I do not know anyone engineer or scientist on earth has the ability and capacity to MEASURE the Holy City of 1,400 miles in length, 1,400 miles in width, and 1,400 miles in height. Since the measurement was done by an angel, it cannot be wrong.
Rev 21:10-27, “So he took me in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and he showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending out of Heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God and sparkled like a precious stone—like jasper as clear as crystal. The city wall was broad and high, with twelve gatesguarded by twelve angels. And the names of the twelve tribes of Israel were written on the gates. There were three gates on each side—east, north, south, and west. The wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were written the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. The angel who talked to me held in his hand a gold measuring stick to measure the city, its gates, and its wall. When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel). The wall was made of jasper, and the city was pure gold, as clear as glass. The wall of the city was built on foundation stones inlaid with twelve precious stones: the first was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were made of pearls—each gate from a single pearl! And the main street was pure gold, as clear as glass. I saw no temple in the city, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. The nations will walk in its light, and the kings of the world will enter the city in all their glory. Its gates will never be closed at the end of day because there is no night there. And all the nations will bring their glory and honor into the city. Nothing evil will be allowed to enter, nor anyone who practices shameful idolatry and dishonesty—but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.”
Based on the findings in this series, the gems that will be used for the foundations of New Jerusalem’s wall (in order) are jasper, sapphire, AGATE, emerald, sardonyx, carnelian, chrysolite, beryl, topaz, chrysoprase, jacinth and
I disagree with some who teach that each precious stone signifies something. The Bible never explains each precious stone with some meaning. Those who do that add something to the Word of God.
I appreciate precious stones because of their permanent nature, for example the Holy City shines with the glory of God and sparkles like a precious stone — like jasper as clear as crystal. Its shining and sparkling does not cease. I love diamond, emerald and sapphire.
I AM of the New Testament is the same I AM of the Old Testament. For the Father and the Son are ONE,.
V. THE CHURCH
Christianity is the Church. Jesus stands with Christianity and cannot fall or fail. Because Jesus Christ builds His Church upon Himself the Rock, that the gates of Hell will not overpower it.
It is written,
Mat 16:18,“And I also say to you that you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build My Church; and the gates of Hades will not overpower it.”
Roman Catholic Church misquotes the Scripture to validate Peter as the rock of the church, the first pope.
For it is written,
Psa 18:31, “For who is God, but the LORD? And who is the Rock, except our God.”
Our God is the Lord. Our God is the Rock.
It is also written,
1Co 10:4, “and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from the Spiritual Rock which followed them; and the Rock was Christ.”
Jesus Christ is the Rock of the Church, that is why the gates of Hell will not overpower it.
And the power of any government will not overpower Christianity. I am aware a false religion is beheading Christians all the time in many parts of the world.
Luk 10:3,“Go; behold, I AM sending you out like Lambs in the midst of wolves.”
The world is full of wolves, in business and politics; Christians are Lambs.
Many confuse a local church with the Church who is the Body of Christ. You can be a member of a local church and not a member of the Church. You can be a member of the Body of Christ and not a member of a local church.
VI. SALVATION
It is written,
Jhn 5:24,“I tell you the truth, those who listen to My message and believe in God who sent Me have eternal life. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life.”
This is the truth of Christ. Those who listen to the message of Jesus and believe in God who sent Jesus have eternal life. Their sins are forgiven, and they have already passed from death into life.
Jhn 3:17, “For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.”
Jhn 5:34, “But the testimony I receive is not from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not from man, it is the power of God to save all who believe.
Jhn 10:9, “I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
This is good news. This is a promise. Everyone (no matter what race or gender) who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
Psa 3:8,“Salvation belongs to the LORD; May Your blessing be upon Your people! Selah”
Salvation belongs to the Lord. Outside the Lord there is no salvation. Those who are saved will be blessed also.
Luk 1:77, “To give His people the knowledge of salvation by the forgiveness of their sins.”
If you do not have the knowledge of salvation, all other knowledges are useless.
Act 4:12, “And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other Name under Heaven that has been given among mankind by which we must be saved.”
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other Name but Jesus under Heaven by which we must be saved.
Rom 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
Christians are not ashamed of the Gospel, for the Gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.
Rom 10:10, “for with the heart a person believes,resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”
Salvation involves the heart and mouth of people. With the heart a person believes Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the Savior of mankind, resulting in righteousness before God. A believe is thus justified before God. With the mouth a person must confess his sins and accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, resulting in salvation.
Eph 1:13, “In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the Gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the message of truth. Truth cannot be bought. An American mega corporation wanted to pay me in cooperation with them, I turned it down because the truth is not for sale. The glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ is absolutely free. If you believe in the Gospel, you are sealed in Christ with the Holy Spirit of the promise.
Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through
faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
The major difference between Christianity and all other religions is this. All other religions teach that your works are the basis of your salvation. The Word of God teaches salvation is the gift of God. By grace you are saved means no one is worthy to be saved. By grace you are saved through faith, faith in what the Lord Jesus has done on the cross for sinners.
Tit 3:5, “He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we did in righteousness, but in accordance with His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit.”
God saved us in accordance with His mercy, unmerited favor. Regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit is born again, the new life.
VII. DISCIPLESHIP
It is written,
Luk 14:26, “If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.”
If you love your own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, sisters more than you love Jesus, you cannot be the disciple of Jesus.
Luk 14:27, “Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.”
Discipleship means carrying one own cross and follow Jesus.
Luk 14:33, “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.”
To be a disciple of Jesus may require you to give up all your possessions.
Jhn 10:26, “But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.”
Those who do not believe because they are not the sheep of Jesus. So do not be surprised of unbelievers.
Jhn 10:27, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”
The sheep of Jesus listen to the voice of Jesus, and Jesus knows them, and they follow Jesus.
I gave testimony of Jesus to a 93-year old man that is if he believes in Jesus Christ he can go to Heaven. The old me did not believe and gave the gesture of his little finger. One day when he is in Hell, he will regret for eternity. Jesus says, you do not believe because you are not My sheep.
Do you listen to the Voice of Jesus and follow Him?
Mat 10:24,“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.”
Christians are the disciples of Jesus Christ, they know their place and they know their Master.
1Ti 4:10, “For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have set our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all mankind, especially of
believers.”
Christians set out hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all mankind.
1Ti 6:2, “Those who have believers as their masters must not be disrespectful to them because they are brothers or sisters, but must serve them all the more, because those who partake of the benefit are believers and beloved. Teach and preach these principles.”
Preachers must teach the principles how brothers and sisters behave toward each other.
I notice the greatest neglect among pastors is the neglect they teach on the assurance of salvation. It is not enough you are baptized, having communion, give offering, etc. You must have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you.
Rom 8:9, “However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.”
You can be baptized, joining a local church, giving offering and even testimony and do not have the Spirit of Christ. You must have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you to be saved.
1Pe 1:21, “who through Him are believers in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”
Christians are believers in God whose faith and hope are in God.
Mat 28:19, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
The Lord has at least two commandments: one is for Christians to love one another. The other is to go and make disciples of all the nations. Christians wait for the second coming of Christ and at the same time witness and proclaim the glorious Gospel and win souls for Christ.
VIII. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
If you ask me, the most beautiful word in the world is Revelation.
It is written,
Rom 16:25, “Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the Revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.”
By reason, no one can have the knowledge of God. By reason alone, no one can know the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past.
By Revelation, I know God manifested in the person of Jesus Christ, who came into the world to die for my sins, and rose again by the power of God.
By Revelation, I learn about the Kingdom of Heaven.
Rev 21:16-17, “When he measured it, he found it was a square, as wide as it was long. In fact, its length and width and height were each 1,400 miles. Then he measured the walls and found them to be 216 feet thick (according to the human standard used by the angel).”
By Revelation, we learn the New Jerusalem, the Holy City, is 1,400 miles long, 1,400 miles wide, and 1,400 miles high. It is a square. There is nothing like it in the whole universe. The Holy City is more real than London, Paris, New York and Shanghai — but it is a trillions better, for it has none the negatives of the world, and nothing evil.
Rev 3:12, “The one who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of Heaven from My God, and My new name.”
I do not believe anyone has full understanding of this Scripture yet.
Gal 1:12, “For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a Revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Christianity is a faith based on Revelation of Jesus Christ.
Rom 10:9, “that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Heart and mouth must concur so that you will be saved.
Rom 10:13, “for “EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.”
Have you called on the name of the Lord?
1Co 1:18, “For the Word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
The Word of the cross is the power of God.
Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through
faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
It is the Christian Gospel that says salvation is the gift of God.
Luk 18:13, “But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to Heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy
on me, a sinner.”
Christians are saved sinners, God, have mercy on me, a sinner saved by grace.
IX. HUMAN BEST & GREATEST
The best and greatest of human thoughts are not the Word of God. Some of them evidently have been influenced by the Word of God, those are the best and greatest in terms of human thoughts related to you and me. I hope you become useful persons.
I DON’T THINK YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I HAVE STUDIED.
Although I have been poor most of my life, yet I have spent a large sum of money on books and a life-long pursuit of knowledge and the truth.
I have studied from Augustine to Martin Luther.
I have studied from Confucius to Mencius.
I have studied from Homer to Longfellow.
I have studied from Plato to Kant.
I have studied from Goethe to Kierkegaard and more.
WHO AM I?
I am a Christian by grace, a Chinese by race, and an American by nationality. In Politics I am Nixonian, in Management I am Koontzian, in English I am Ruskinian, in Philosophy I am Willie Wong Thought. I am neither a capitalist nor a communist. I am a Christian who stands for truth and justice and with the poor and oppressed peoples in the world. Above all, I am a disciple and servant of Jesus Christ. Willie Wong Thought is the system of thinking and world-view of Willie Wong.
Please also read the article People Who Have Been Great
I provide you with the best and greatest of human thoughts so that they can share experience with you. There are too many useless persons in the world. Are you useful to yourself, to your family, to your friends, to your employer, and to your country? To be a useful person you have to know what is right, think right, speak right, and do right. To do right you need right skills. One thing of greatest importance: Do not be late for anything. It is hoped you will become a useful person.
A. Augustine
According to Britannica:
“ If none of his written works had survived, he would still have been a figure to be reckoned with, but his stature would have been more nearly that of some of his contemporaries. However, more than five million words of his writings survive, virtually all displaying the strength and sharpness of his mind (and some limitations of range and learning) and some possessing the rare power to attract and hold the attention of readers in both his day and ours. His distinctive theological style shaped Latin Christianity in a way surpassed only by Scripture itself. His work continues to hold contemporary relevance, in part because of his membership in a religious group that was dominant in the West in his time and remains so today.”
When you get to Heaven, you will be able to do what you are supposed to, fully equipped: to sing, to dance, to speak and to fly like angels; above all, to adore and praise God.
Though there are very many nations all over the earth, …there are no more than two kinds of human society, which we may justly call two cities, …one consisting of those who live according to man, the other of those who live according to God ….To the City of Man belong the enemies of God, …so inflamed with hatred against the City of God.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.”
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
Love is the beauty of the soul.
Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.
Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity.
Patience is the companion of wisdom.
The greatest evil is physical pain.
I want to make a correction. The greatest evil is not physical pain. The greatest evil is sin against God, trampling on the truth.
Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you.
The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page.
God loves each of us as if there were only one of us.
Miracles are not contrary to nature, but only contrary to what we know about nature.
It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.
I want to make a correction. It was not pride that changed angels into devils. It was self-conceit with unholy ambition that turned angels into devils. It takes more than humility that makes men as angels.
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God’s grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures; and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.
Pray like it all depends on God, then when you are done, go work like it all depends on you.
A Christian is never in a state of completion but always in a process of becoming.
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.
Old Plato, if you were alive today, even if you take an interest in the affairs of your government, you are doomed to live under the rule of fools, or the rule of dictatorship. The wise do not rule, the good do not rule in this world. Governments all over the world are characterized by corruption and injustice.
I want to make a comment: No one in history has been wise to rule like a philosopher, and no philosopher is wise enough to rule like a king.
Philosophers do not guarantee of righteous rule. Plato believed in philosopher king. I was young, now I am old. I discover human nature cannot be trusted.
I believe in the King of kings and Lord of lords. I believe Jesus Christ will reign in the Kingdom of Heaven forever, and I am glad to be a citizen of Heaven.
Most men use their knowledge only under guidance from others because they lack the courage to think independently using their own reasoning abilities. It takes intellectual daring to discover the truth.
Always recognize that human individuals are ends, and do not use them as means to your end.
Genius is the ability to independently arrive at and understand concepts that would normally have to be taught by another person.
Willie Wong Thought is the system thinking and worldview of Willie Wong. Willie Wong Thought is deeply rooted solely in the Biblical view, and it is impossible to contradict the Word of God.

Jesus Christ is my God and Savior, Titus 2:13.
This knowledge is more certain and important than anything else I know. There is no other. Jesus is the Incomparable, in power and wisdom, in justice and grace, in righteousness and truth; the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the King of kings and the Lord of lords. For you and me, the Savior of the world.
The purpose of education is not only to learn what you do not know, but to be what you can be. For examples, to learn painting is one thing, to be a painter is another. To learn chemistry is one thing, to be a chemist is another. To learn writing is one thing, to be a writer is quite another. From learning writing to being a writer is a long way. There are two types of learning: general and specialized. Learning is an endless process of helping you to become the best you can be. An educated person can never be an uncivilized person.
What you are is more important than what you have. What you have can be taken away, what you are no one can take away. It is better to be a good person and poor than to be a crooked rich man. For the world, people choose to have more than to be.
Knowledge is power, power not to do harm, but to do good. The most important knowledge is the knowledge of God. There are two types of knowledge: divine and human. Divine knowledge is by revelation; it is absolute, complete, perfect, supreme, infallible, ultimate and eternal. Human knowledge must be verified; because it is progressive, tentative and never absolute or ultimate. The best organized of human knowledge is science at a place in time. Human knowledge is fallible.
There are two types of culture: inferior and superior. Inferior cultures are characterized by violence, greed, deceit, corruption, incivility, laziness, uncleanliness, waste, dissipation, immorality, and short view of life. Superior cultures are characterized by wisdom, compassion, honesty, integrity, industry, civility, cleanliness, discipline, thrift, virtue, and long view of life. Inferior cultures produce inferior peoples; inferior peoples make an inferior society. Superior cultures produce superior peoples and superior peoples build a superior society.
Do you want to know really the culture and values of a nation or people? There is a window you can see through. It is the TV, what you see is what you get.
The prophecy of Jesus Christ proclaimed about 2,000 years ago had been and is being fulfilled right before our eyes. “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in many places.” (Matthew 24:7 ) Ever since from the beginning the history of the world has been the history of wars. Examples of pestilences are mad cow disease, Ebola, AIDS, foot and mouth disease, SARS, etc. And now COVID-19 appears to be the most devastating and and deadly to the whole world in the spring of 2020 to 2021. No one knows when will it end. The most absurd remedy is to inject detergent into your blood to cleanse and cure COVID-19 !!!!!!?????
There are many pundits and politicians who lie and spread falsehoods and fake news unprecedented in the history of mankind. The rumors and lies are of most dangerous and destructive nature. The pandemic may be the greatest calamity since World War II. No one knows exactly how long COVID-19 will last, the total global death toll and the negative impact on the world. A major earthquake can make everyone (even the rich and powerful) feel very small and scared. They are wise who give up things that are being shaken for things that cannot be shaken. Things that are being shaken will pass away, and things that cannot be shaken will last for ever. I believe CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC is a fulfilled prophesy of Jesus Christ, and a warning of the coming judgement of God.
There are four types of book: those that inform you are useful, those that indulge you are bad, those that instructyou are good, and those that inspireyou are great. Useful books are as plentiful as bad books. Good books are few. Great books are rare. The Holy Bible is the greatest, the Book of all books. Find it out for yourself.
If Paul, Peter and John were alive in America today, watching the so-called “Christian programs” on TV would shock them; because most of them are not the Gospel of Jesus Christ they proclaimed. Many of so-called “Christian websites” are also diabolical and satanic because they deny Jesus Christ the Son of God. They are false gospels: capitalistic gospel, social gospel, political gospel, racial gospel, feminist gospel, possibility gospel, positive thinking gospel, prosperity gospel, modernist gospel, faith healing gospel, psychological gospel, success gospel, etc. How do you know America is practicing a false version of Christianity? Many church members and preachers love money and the world; commit fornication, adultery, and sexual immorality; practice racial discrimination and injustice, etc. Some ministers of Satan merchandise the gospel, use the pulpit as a political platform, blackmail corporations to donate money, spread lies and falsehood, use churches as business centers, use public funds to enrich themselves, their families and friends, support a luxurious life style and mistresses, etc. Jesus Christ says, “You will know them by their fruits. ” (Matthew 7:16) There are now so many deceivers and impostors who claim and pretend to be Christians and preachers who are destructive in spreading fake news and false doctrines.
Unbelieving scientists and journalists insidiously distorted Christianity and dishonored the Lord Jesus Christ and discredited the Word of God. How does Jesus Christ look like? Not what you imagine. The Bible says, “His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. His feet were like fine bronze glowing in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters. He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in its strength.” ( Revelation 1:14-16)
Rules to live by: (A). Behave responsibly (B). Eat moderately (C). Speak truthfully (D). Think deeply (E). Live honorably (F). Act decisively (G). Deal squarely To help remembering, the first letters of seven items form an acronym BESTLAD .
You can study world history whether East or West, North or South, ancient or modern; never in the history of mankind had anyone accomplished so much for so many people in so short a period of time (40 years) as Deng Xiaoping had done for the Chinese. Western scholars, politicians and journalists have a predilection and tendency for magnifying the shortcomings of China and minimizing its achievements. For hundreds of years, Western powers have been hostile and adversarial to China and Chinese people even to this day. First Western powers oppressed and despised a weak and backward China. Now they are afraid and jealous of China’s spectacular successes in all fields and afraid of a strong China. “Containment of China” has been the persistent policy and practice of Western hegemonic powers since 1949. Without cause they treat China as an enemy and threat to their world domination and dictatorship. The sole super power and its allies are doing everything possible to curb and check the peaceful rise of China. In fact they want to wipe out China and Russia and a nuclear war is looming large on the horizon that may destroy the whole world.
There are five bestthings: truth, virtue (or justice),
beauty, love and wisdom. Many things can blind and enslave individuals and nations, such as false religion, dangerous ideology, superstition, laziness, violence, immorality, inferior culture,
racism, prejudice, love of money and power, greed, irrational patriotism, vested interest, a passion to dominate the world, etc. Jesus Christ says, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.” The confusion is the fact they claim and pretend to be Christians; children of the devil pretend to be on the side of God. The sad truth is, many believe in a lie. Tragic flaw is the Western leaders and politicians who deliberately and shamelessly manufacture lies and falsehoods about China and Russia because the West wants to continue to dictate and dominate the world.
Christianity and capitalism do not go together. For Christianity is Christ-centered and heavenly. Jesus Christ declares, “My Kingdom is not of this world.” (John 18:36 ) Apostle John proclaimed, “Do not love the world or things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – is not of the Father, but of the world.” (1 John 2:15-16)
Capitalism is driven by greed and worldliness.
Capitalism puts a premium on money (the lust of the eyes), sex (the lust of the flesh), and power (the pride of life). The Bible says, “For the love of money is the root of all evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10 ) Corruption,injustice, violence, immorality, falsehood, oppression, wars and all kinds of evil in the world are brought about by the lust for money, sex, and power. Money, sex, and power are not compatible with faith, hope, and love. On the authority of Jesus Christ, “You cannot serve God and mammon.” (Matthew 6:24) Capitalism enriches the one percent of the population at the expense of the 99 percent. Western democracy is the practice of one percent who rules over the 99 percent. American preachers did not and do not preach against the evils of capitalism. Capitalism is not compatible with Christianity.
The important thing about idea is not whether it is old or new, but whether it is good or bad, right or wrong. A bad new idea is no better than a bad old idea, a good old idea is better than a new bad idea, and a right old idea is better than a new wrong idea.
Whether a criminal justice system is just and effective or not can be determined by the following questions: (A). Does it acquit the guilty and convict the innocent? (B). Does it allow defense based on lies without evidence? (C). Does the process delay and frustrate the administration of justice? (D). Does it enrich the defense lawyers, judges, prosecution, the court, law enforcement, legal professionals and bankrupt the innocent? (E). Does money, race or class affect the outcome of any court case? Inasmuch as the answers are affirmative, the legal system is flawed. The criminal justice system which is devoid of righteousness and justice is practicing injustice.
Monopoly is inherently corrupt and consequently evil. Government is the largest and most powerful monopoly with the greatest potential for corruption and abuse of power. Corruption involves abuse, misuse, and misappropriation of public funds to enrich oneself, family, friends and social interest groups. Lawmakers may pass a law but no law can legitimize corruption. What is legal may be immoral. Transparency is how government officials spend taxpayers’ money and for what purpose and must be published for public scrutiny. The deterrence for corruption is government is double penalty. A government official who commits a crime must suffer the double penalty a civilian gets. Public funds shall not be used to defend officials who committed crimes. Anyone who defrauds or misappropriates $1 million or more accumulatively shall be executed and all his assets seized. The second biggest monopoly is cartel orgiant
corporation that engages in predatory business practices that stifle competition. All monopolies must be smashed or justice cannot exist. American healthcare industry is the largest monopoly, full of fraudulent, predatory and excessive charges to bankrupt the helpless patients. When a government is corrupt, it is the worst.
There are two kinds of problem in the world: caused by nature and created by men. Problems caused by nature such as earthquake, hurricane, drought, etc. which men can do little about them. Problems created by men such as crime, corruption, injustice, oppression, aggression, discrimination, violence, greed, etc. can be solved by people. AIDS is unlike malaria and tuberculosis. AIDS is a consequence of a moral and cultural failure that no amount of money or “war chest” can stop. But AIDS can be stopped simply by people not to engage in promiscuous and immoral sex. Contaminated blood can be eliminated by scientific means. Most of the problems in the world are made by humankind.
If you do something good for yourself, it may last for a lifetime. If you do something good for mankind, it may last for generations. If you do something good for truth, it will last for eternity.
Besides murder, rape, sex trade, kidnapping, and terrorism, thecruelest thing is parents who do not love but abuse their children. Men and women who do not love and care for their children have no right to become parents.
Discrimination is wrong in any form whether in employment, education, housing or public facilities by the majority against the minority or by the minority against the majority. Any law is inherently wrong if certain racial or ethnic groups are given special treatment, privileges and favors. Justice means all have equal footing and all are equal under the law. For that reason, Affirmative Action is unconstitutional and unlawful. I have said it before the U.S. Supreme Court declared Affirmative Action illegal in university admission.
It must be made absolutely clear. The Holy Bible does not teach or support the following false doctrines: (A). papacy (B). purgatory (C). transubstantiation (D). confession of sins to priest (E). salvation by good deeds (F). worship of, or prayer to, Mary and saints (G). all illness can be cured by faith (H). offerings to church as a path to prosperity (I). speaking in tongues as proof of the baptism or filling of the Holy Spirit (J). paradise as a place with beautiful virgins for men to enjoy (K). killing of people as a holy war for the cause of religion Doctrines contrary to the Word of God are false.
Being is what you are, becoming is what you should be. Being is the principle of becoming, and becoming is the process of being.
Things to be: (A). Be clean. (B). Be diligent. (C). Be frugal. (D). Be honest. (E). Be kind. (F). Be polite. (G). Be respectable. (H). Be self-sufficient. (I). Be thoughtful.
There are four prerequisites for happiness: (A). To love and be loved. (B). A comfortable living condition. (C). Freedom from fear or harm. (D). Opportunity for creativity.
If you drink, smoke, use illegal drugs and engage in promiscuous sexual immorality simultaneously, that is a quick way of destroying your life. If you want to live a meaningful life, seek the truth, buy wisdom and do what is good and right. This is the meaning that you are the master of your own destiny. Life is meaningful only when you do good and do right under any circumstances.
Perception is the eye of reason, and reason is the brain of perception. Not only they interact with eachother, they are also influenced by experience. For this reason, men of certain cultures abuse, mistreat, torture and even kill their wives and do not consider it wrong. To liberate from cultural bondage and blindness, one must think independently guided by conscience and see things as they really are.
Things I have learned: wisdom is better than ignorance, humility better than arrogance, virtue better than vice, truth better than lie, and light is better than darkness. The saddest thing about humankind is this: most people have chosen darkness and lies.
Life is a journey; it does not matter where you begin, it all matters where you end. A person who does not know where he is or where he is going must be lost. There are only two final destinations: Heaven or Hell. No one is good enough to go to Heaven, but you can receive it as a gift of God by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. All unbelievers and the wicked will go to Hell for eternal punishment.
Friendship is created by mutual recognition and maintained by mutual commitment. When any of the two elements is missing, friendship is broken. When one side only takes and does not give and takes advantage of you, be smart it is not a true friend. It is easier for a friend to turn into an enemy; it is rarely that an enemy turns into a friend. There is a Friend dearer than any, Jesus Christ can be your Savior and Friend for eternity.
The difference between success and failure is only one step. A wrong step results in failure, and a rightstep leads to success. America is the nation where the success or failure of a man is measured by his wealth or poverty. As Jesus says, the life of a man does not consist in his property and possessions. What a man is is more important than what he has. It is better to be a righteous poor than the richest crook in the world.
There are three classes of people: the upper class are those who know and realize first; the middle class are those who know and realize later; the lower class are those who never know or realize. The world has a wrong classification: the rich are the upper class, the middle class are neither rich or poor, and the low class are the poor.
A man is not good because he does good deeds; a man does good deeds because he is good. A good tree bears good fruits.
I believe God is Self-Existent, Eternal and Almighty who created the universe and humankind according to the Holy Bible. Jesus Christ was God who came into the world to save sinners and rose from the dead. Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. The world will come to an end when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to judge the world and reign with the saints forever and ever…
Evolution is the biggest scientific myth. You know science is the best organized human knowledge at a place in time. Science is never absolute, always progressive and tentative. The hypothesis that a lower species over hundreds of millions or billions of years, evolved into a higher species is a science fiction which has never been and cannot be proven. The intelligent design of the universe and the complexity of the earth’s plants and animals cannot be explained by evolution theory. For thousands of years monkeys have remained as monkeys, and not one ever evolved into a man. However, many men have morally degraded into monkeys. It is easier to believe that I made a small bang, my digital world time and thermometer watch came into being than to believe the universe was originated by a “big bang.” The philosopher proclaimed, “The Lord by wisdom laid the earth’s foundation; by understanding He set the universe in place.” The claim that the earth and all life forms came into existence about 6,000 years ago is not taught in the Bible. The Bible declares, “In the beginning God created the universe and the earth.” More than 2,700 years ago the prophet Isaiah learned by revelation that God “created the universe and stretched it out …” Only recently scientists discovered “the expanding universe.” Unbelieving scientists, suffering from spiritual “swelling of the brain” would rather believe in a chance creation without a creator, and intelligent design without the designer. One thing I do know: Jesus Christ is my God and Savior. This knowledge is more certain than anything else I know.
China in Chinese is Zhongguo, which means Central Kingdom; but Western scholars wrongly translated as Middle Kingdom. If you call central bank as middle bank, you will understand why the meaning is wrong. Western scholars tend to have an egocentric worldview and arrogant without end.
A legal system that encourages and protects criminals, blackmails and victimizes the innocent, enriches lawyers, judges, court and law enforcement officials at the expense of taxpayers and victims does NOT serve justice. A legal system that does not serve justice causes injustice.
The faster a nation declines, the more intense are the following signs: (A). Corruption in government (B). Large-scale family disintegration (C). General moral degradation (D). Predatory fraudulent practices like medical care (E). Vulgarity and violence (F). Glorification of deviancy (G). Pernicious judiciary travesty (H). Prevalent urban decay (I). Extreme wealth and poverty
After I received a Christmas card from the White House, on February 1,1969 I wrote and presented the Fourteen Points to President Richard Nixon as follows: (1) Unite the nation (2) Stabilize national economy (3) Assert human rights (4) Uplift national morale (5) Subsidize higher education (6) Attack air pollution (7) Bridge racial gap (8) Reduce crime rate (9) Industrialize the South (10) Provide full employment (11) Reform welfare system (12) Seek world peace (13) Negotiate from strength (14) Assist underdeveloped countries
Nixon had done more for world peace than anyone in his century. During his administration the world was safer than it is today. Nixon did not seek world domination, he sought a just and lasting peace. To make enemies does not require ability, to make friends requires skills. To make wars is easy and destructive, to make peace is difficult.
Wisdom is to know God is everything and man is nothing.
Lucifer did not fail because of ignorance, he failed because of disobedience.
This is my list of the most important people:
(1). Martin Luther
(2). John Bunyan
(3). Isaac Newton (4). Galileo Galilei (5). William Shakespeare (6). Leonardo Da Vinci (7). John Locke (8). Abraham Lincoln (9). Thomas Edison (10). Deng Xiaoping (11). William Tyndale (12). Immanuel Kant (13). Mohandas Gandhi (14). Ludwig van Beethoven (15). Woodrow Wilson (16). Mao Zedong (17). Richard Nixon (18). Michelangelo (19).Louis Pasteur (20). Helen Keller
Note: Ignorant people confuse M.L. King, Jr with Martin Luther.
Jesus Christ asks those who pretend to be Christians, “Why do you call Me Lord, Lord, and not do the things I say?” ( Luke 6:46 ) “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” ( John 10:27 ) Christians follow Jesus Christ. You do not follow Jesus because you are not His sheep. Idolaters, liars, killers and robbers should not claim to be Christians. Liars and killers and robbers should not call themselves Christians. According to Jesus, liars and killers are children of the Devil.
The differences between good and evil are inherently greater than the differences between East and West. The good people of the East have more in common with the good people of the West than the bad people of the East. The good people of the West have more in common with the good people of the East than the bad people of the West. All good people of the world must unite to overcome all the bad people of the world. All peace-loving nations of the world must unite to prevent war-loving nations from bullying and conquering another nation. All righteous nations of the world must unite to stop unrighteous nations from destroying the world. World domination is an unholy ambition; it must be banished from the earth.
The biggest historical lie has been “white man’s burden“. Colonialism and imperialism were created and justified by this pernicious and pretentious doctrine. There was no accident, except Japan, all colonial and imperialistic powers have been and still are white nations. Colonial and imperialistic powers used military force to attack, dominate, conquer and control over other nations, territories and peoples. Europe was made rich by robbing and exploiting the natural resources and forced labor of Asian, African, and Latin American colonies. The most barbaric and vicious event of white man’s history wasthe Opium Wars (1839-42, 1856-60) in which Great Britain forced China to buy opium, and lead other nations including USA, France, Russia, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Belgium, Spain, Netherlands and Japan to kill Chinese people; attack, occupy and partition China; loot and destroy China’s national treasures worth US$100,000 trillion. If you go to the British Museum, the Louvre, Smithsonian Institution,European and Japanese museums, and private collectors, etc. you will find manypriceless treasures of China. Except Japan (that killed 35 million Chinese in World War II), all ten nations claim to be Christian nations. It is high time for these 11 nations to pay compensation and war reparations to China. For Jesus Christ says, “Surely, I say to you, you will not get out of there till you have paid the last penny.” ( Matthew 5:26) “For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter the Kingdom of Heaven. ( Matthew 5:20 ) You may have your empires for a moment, but never the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.
Man is limited in everything. According to my theory, Man is a tripartite of intelligence, value and personality (IVP). Intelligence is mental ability, value is moral quality, and personality is individual capacity. The most deadly values are money, sex and power. All dictators have been obsessed over money, sex and power. Consequently, most of the world’s problems have been caused by the pursuit of these three fatal spiritual viruses. The lust for power is the mother of all wars and the father of all warmongers bent on world domination. All warmongers believe and practice “might makes right.”
A good society is made of Liberty, Prosperity, Equality, Security and Civility. Liberty is freedom from tyranny. Tyranny can only come from abuse of power by the government officials and business monopoly. Prosperity is freedom from poverty. Poverty is caused by lack of education and opportunity, and oppression and exploitation practiced by monopolies and capitalists. Equality is freedom from injustice. Injustice is caused by inequality under the law and special treatment for the rich and powerful and interest groups. Security is freedom from harm. Crime and fraud undermine one’s security. Civility is freedom from violence and vulgarity. Uncivilized peoples are products of inferior cultures. What is the point to be the only superpower while its people live in fear and want? The most advanced weapons do not improve the quality of a society one bit. The grandiose national missile defense does not protect the people from murder, rape, robbery, assault, kidnapping, terrorism, arson, fraud, violence, etc. every day. This Theory of Good Society was conceived when I was visiting Scandinavia in 1975. There is not one country that has a Good Society anywhere in the world today.
There are three kinds of evil: contributory, inherent, and ultimate. Contributory evil is the evil resulted from an act or attitude that by itself may not be apparently evil. For example, using cell phone and drive that causes accident is a contributory evil. Distracted driving is bound to cause accidents. Promiscuous sex actively contributes to the spread of AIDS and STDs, and pregnancies of AIDS women who produce AIDS children are inherently evil. Drunk driving is an inherent evil because it impairs the driving skill of a driver and kills innocent victims. A drunk driver who kills commits murder in the eyes of God, not manslaughter. Drunk drivers and people who habitually run through red lights do not respect the life, property and rights of others. Guns are inherently evil because they are instruments of death. Ultimate evil has spiritual dimensions; it deliberately sins against God, tramples on the truth, and rejects the light. Examples of ultimate evil are wars of aggression, corruption, oppression, deception, distortion, extortion, discrimination, genocide,murder, rape, robbery, kidnapping, hijacking,bombing, terrorism, injustice, drug trafficking, etc., and ministry of Satan that spreads lies and pretends to be a servant of God.
Death penalty is not murder, but administration of justice to those who shed the blood of man and deserve to die. For death is the only fit penalty for those who kill. According to the law of God, “Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed.” (Genesis 9:6)Those who are friends of convicted murderers and foes of capital punishment are invariably the enemies of innocent victims and foes of justice and law. Media that sleekly reports the number of executions without reporting the thousands of innocent people being killed brutally every year is guilty of gross deception and misrepresentation. No one deserves to be killed, but every murderer deserved to be executed. Death penalty definitely deters crime, for an executed murderer can kill no more. To allow convicted murderers to have unlimited appeals and unlimited rights over a number of years after death sentence certainly does not deter criminals. To oppose death penalty on ground that an innocent person may be executed is a lame excuse. Do not confuse a flawed justice system with the legitimacy of capital punishment. Under a just legal system, if you are innocent, ten thousand prosecutors should not be able to convict you. If you are guilty, ten thousand dream teams of high-powered defense lawyers would not be able to acquit you. Any court official who convicts an innocent or acquits a guilty one should be punished severely. There is a correlation between a flawed justice system that encourages criminals and the number of offenses committed.
Wisdom is to know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, important and unimportant and act accordingly. A fool can be defined as a person who does not know the difference between right and wrong, good and evil, important and unimportant and thus acts wrongly. Wisdom is the application of true knowledge correctly and effectively.

You have no choice to be born, but you have a choice how to live. You have no choice to be born rich, but you can by your own efforts make yourself useful and so enrich the world. You have no choice to be born beautiful, but you can develop your inner beauty by being virtuous. You have no choice to be born tall, but you can become a person of stature. You have no choice where to be born, but you can improve where you live. You have no choice to be born of what race, but you can live in a way to honor your race. You have no choice to be born with what level of IQ, but you can improve the way you use your intelligence. You have no choice of who to be your parents, but you have a choice what kind of parent you want to be. You have no choice who are to be your brothers and sisters, but you have a choice who are to be your friends. You have no choice when people discriminate or oppress you; but you have a choice to treat people with kindness and respect. You have no choice when people around you are corrupt, but you have a choice to be morally clean and upright. You have no choice when you are going to die, but you have a choice to die in Christ or to die in your sins. You cannot change the world, but you can change yourself.
The ABCDE of Salvation:
A. God existed by Himself eternally before time and space. God created the universe and the humankind and rules the universe absolutely.
B. Man disobeyed and rebelled against God. The wages of sin is death. That is why all have to die and you and I have to die. Man cannot save himself. Man cannot save himself by his own deeds or merit or power.
C. God did not want the world to perish and sent His Son Jesus Christ into the world to save sinners by dying on the cross for them. Jesus Christ rose from death for our justification, ascended into heaven and He is coming again to redeem the bodies of believers and reign with them for eternity in the new heaven and new earth – the New Jerusalem.
D. If you believe and accept the Lord Jesus in your heart, and confess Him before the public as your Savior, and the Lord to give you the Holy Spirit you may be saved and receive the eternal life which is a gift of God. Because no one is good enough to enter Heaven, it is by faith and through grace that you are saved.
E. The time to repent and believe in Jesus Christ is now. Today is the day of salvation. Do not neglect such a great salvation. Tomorrow may be too late for you.
Jesus Christ says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life; he does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” ( Jhn 5:24 )Will you now accept and believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? You can do it now.
Justice has a utilitarian value, quantitative and qualitative. Good is better than bad. What is good for one person is not as good as what is good for many persons. What is good for many persons is not as good as what is good for most people. What is good for most people is not as good as what is good for all people. What is good for all people at one time is not as good as what is good for all people at all times. The measure of justice is a measure of quantity and quality. The greatest justice is what is good for the greatest number of people. Injustice is the opposite of justice. Thus the greatest injustice is the greatest evil for the greatest number of people at all times. Justice is the noblest virtue because it is good for the greatest number of people at all times. Injustice is the greatest evil because it is bad for the greatest number of people at all times. Above all, justice is righteousness in action.
There are two things that bother me most in the world: evil and stupidity. Evil is much worse than bad. Smoking is bad, but those who willfully smoke in elevator or restroom or forbidden place are evil. Evil has many forms and kinds and shapes and degrees, but the least of evil is still evil. All sins are evil. All crimes are evil, but not every sin is a crime. Evil is defined by the sight of God. What God sees as evil is evil. Crimes are defined by states. Due to the fact the legal system made by men is flawed, even a president who repeatedly committed perjuries could escape punishment. Hatred in your heart is not a crime, but it is a sin. An evil heart produces many evil deeds. All forms of aggression, violence, greed, fraud, falsehood, exploitation, oppression, injustice, immorality, terrorism, etc. are evil. Many nations, organizations, corporations and individuals are evil. Imperialism, colonialism, militarism, hegemonism, capitalism, totalitarianism, Nazism, and terrorism are evil. Dictators, oppressors, violators, warmongers, drug or human traffickers, pimps and prostitutes, predatory doctors and lawyers, corrupt bankers and executives are evil. The greatest economic and financial evil in the history of mankind was created by Wall Street which looted the world more than $50 trillion. Consequently you see some nations and others going bankrupt or on the brink of bankruptcy, many more millions and millions of people lost their homes and jobs. The two greatest evils confronting the world today are hegemonism and terrorism. Stupidity is a combination of folly, senselessness, foolishness, ignorance, and irrationality. Poor people know they are poor, but stupid people do not know they are stupid. There are at least two things that constitute one’s stupidity. One is the inability to distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, important and unimportant, etc. This is the deadly flaw of human nature. If you do not know the difference between what is right and wrong, then most likely you will do wrong. A man can do wrong even if he knows what is right. No man can do right if he does not know the difference between what is right or wrong. A person who does not distinguish between what is good and evil will most likely do evil.The second thing about stupidity is unpreparedness. The wise prepares for the inevitable. The foolish does not know what it needs or takes to accomplish something. The stupid student may dream of attending a first class university, but he does not prepare himself for it. The stupid loses opportunity because he is never ready for anything. Stupid people not only harm themselves, they also harm others even unintentionally. The way of the world is the way of evil. Seeing there are more and more evil things in the last days, the more I understand why we have to pray,
Luk 11:4 , “… but deliver us from evil.” With regard to stupidity,
Pro 14:24, “The crown of the wise is their riches, but the preeminence of fools is folly.” Evil and stupid are the thoughts, words and deeds of sinful mankind.
The world is full of pain and sorrows, distress and difficulties. My friend, are you weary of life? Do you want rest for your soul? Jesus Christ says,
Mat 11:28-29 , “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.”Rest in verse 28 in Greek is anapauō which means cessation from any movement or labor in order to recover and collect one’s strength, taking rest, refreshing; – it occurs about 12 times in the New Testament. Rest in verse 29 in Greek is anapausis which means intermission, cessation of any motion, business or labor, recreation, respite, blessed tranquility of soul; – it occurs only 5 times in the New Testament. Come to Jesus Christ, not only you can find rest, respite, and recreation for your soul; you will find blessed tranquility. All rest in this world is temporary, but there is His rest.
Hbr 4:3,6-7, “For we who have believed enter that rest, just as He has said: “AS I SWORE IN MY WRATH, THEY SHALL NOT ENTER MY REST,”
although His works were finished from the foundation of the world… Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience, He again fixes a certain day, “Today,” saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, “TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS.” Rest here in Greek is katapausis which means a resting place, metaphorically, the Heavenly blessedness in which God dwells, and of which He has promised to make persevering believers in Christ partakers after the toils and trials and tribulations of life on earth are ended. The eternal resting place for Christians is Heaven. The only way you may enter that eternal bliss is through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. It is up to you to make the decision today.
Job 19:25,, “I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last He will stand on the earth.” Jesus Christ is coming again soon to reign, He is my Redeemer.
2Ti 1:12 , “For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed;for I know whom I have believed and I am confident that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that Day.” That Day is the Day Jesus Christ is coming again. This knowledge is more useful and valuable than all scientific knowledge. If you are willing, Jesus can be your Redeemer by faith. You can know Jesus Christ, the Lord and Savior.
Of all the evils and ills in the world, I do not know and cannot find any which is not related or connected to the love of money, power and sex. Because of the love of money, power and sex, the worst atrocity, brutality, cruelty, immorality, incivility, inhumanity, inequality, iniquity, and injustice have been committed by humankind without number. Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood represent the evil trinity. The evil trinity is the greatest problems of the world today.
The most deadly and destructive ideologies that ruined the world include imperialism, colonialism, totalitarianism, capitalism,militarism,
authoritarianism, monopolism, hegemonism and terrorism. Imperialism was the most ancient ideology which began with the Babylonian empire. All emperors were dictators. For example, a Chinese emperor could decree killing a man and members of his nine clans. The folly of imperialism is conquest of other nations by sheer military power devoid of reason or morality. The brutality of empires was inhuman and shocking as well known in the Roman Empire. Colonialism was born with the idea of “white man’s burden” – the most destructive and demeaning of European enterprises in modern history. The disgrace of colonialism was dressed up in religious piety in the name of God and Christianity. White supremacists believed they are superior race and given the divine right to rule and civilize the world. Consequently Europe and America became filthy rich by robbing and exploiting the resources of its colonies or natives. In fact, fascism, Nazism, imperialism, colonialism, hegemonism, terrorism, etc. also belong to totalitarianism. Colonialism begat capitalism.
Capitalism is the most sophisticated economic and financial system that infects the whole world. The West is still the de facto ruler of the world.
Capitalism produces most greedy and unjust society. Capitalism is driven mad by the love of money, and the love of money is the root of all evils. The evils created by capitalism are inestimable and incalculable. As a case in point, Wall Street in 2008 created the biggest economic and financial crisis in the history of mankind and looted the world more than $50 trillion dollars.Capitalism puts wealth and power in the hands of the few and let the masses suffer poverty and injustice. Because of greed
America has the most costly and predatory healthcare system in the world. Because of greed America has the largest debts and deficits in the world. Greed is the terminator of all that is good and moral, such as truth, justice, love, goodness, kindness, decency, compassion. Hegemonism is a crafty new combination of old imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, democracy, and racism.
Democracy appears to be more wicked because governments that claim to be democratic do not serve the interests of the people, in factthey
exactly serve special interests. Democracy is phony like a $3 bill. Racism originally was practiced by whites against non-whites, now it is also practiced by blacks and other races who are in power. A hegemonic nation under the pretext of religious freedom, democracy, human right, etc. may attack, occupy, and interfere in the internal affairs of other nations to serve its own interest. When 1% of population rules over the 99% of the population, that is not democracy, but dictatorship. The world is facing two greatest threats: imperialism and terrorism. Terrorism has been used by religious extremists to create havoc and hardship all over the world. The terrorism that brought the world into terror and darkness is complicated by irrational religious belief. Convinced by personal experience and observation and belief in the Holy Bible, the world is not getting better. In summary, imperialism, colonialism, totalitarianism, capitalism, militarism, hegemonism and terrorism are not compatible with Christianity. No ideology or system of government and politics can save the world. The only cure and elimination of all the ills and evils of the world is the second coming of Jesus Christ to judge and destroy the world and bring down a new heaven and a new earth and rule as King of kings and Lord of lords – the eternal Kingdom of God. The saints will reign with Jesus Christ for eternity.
Eph 2:3,“Among these we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, following the desires of body and mind, and so we were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.”
This Scripture clearly contradicts the belief of good human nature.
Rev 18:2，“And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying：Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every foul spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird! ”
Rev 18:10, “Standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying: Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.”
Sooner or later the judgment will come to everyone, especially the supremacists, imperialists, terrorists, colonialists, capitalists, monopolists, warmongers, aggressors, dictators, oppressors.
Rev 18:21, “Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying: Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. ”
An unbeliever wrote, “Faith and prayer just won’t cut it. In fact, they’ll get in the way.” The man who compared faith and prayer with magical thinking, Marxism, Prohibition, Head Start, Toyota, baseball, sabermetrics and one summary prescriptive and thinking himself wise to resist the truth, not knowing he is totally ignorant of the Christian faith and spiritual things. It is not open-mindedness to dismiss what you do not know as wrong and useless. Let the man ask himself: what do you know? Do you know when you are going to die? It is like a blind man who disbelieves in the glorious sunset because he has never seen one; or a deaf man who dismisses the majestic choral work of Messiah by Handel because he simply could not hear it. True, faith and prayer cannot reduce the huge American deficits and debts. It was not by faith and prayer that lawmakers and politicians and officials incurred the largest debts and deficits in the history of mankind. It was greed, fiscal irresponsibility, special interests, money and power politics, etc. that caused the great debts and deficits.
Mar 11:22, “And Jesus answered saying to them: Have faith in God.”
Note: Faith in Greek here is pistis which means conviction of the truth of something, belief; – it occurs 244 times in the New Testament. In the New Testament faith is a conviction or belief respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, generally with the included idea of trust and holy fervor born of faith and joined with it; conviction that God exists and is the Creator and Ruler of all things, the provider and bestower of eternal salvation through Jesus Christ; a strong and welcome conviction or belief that Jesus is the Messiah, through whom we obtain eternal salvation in the Kingdom of God; belief with the predominate idea of trust (or confidence) whether in God or in Christ, springing from faith in the same.
Jhn 14:1, “Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. ”
Note: To be troubled in Greek is tarassō which means to agitate, disquiet, make restless, strike one’s spirit with fear and dread, render anxious or distressed; – it occurs 17 times in the New Testament. The world is full of troubles. All human beings have troubles, only different kinds and degrees of troubles. Knowing fully well of our limitations, that is the main reason we have faith and pray to God. Believe in Greek is pisteuō which means to think to be true, to be persuaded of, to credit, place confidence in, have confidence, trust in Jesus or God as able to aid either in obtaining or in doing something, put in trust with; – it occurs 248 times in the New Testament. To believe is to have faith. To believe in God is to have faith in God. To believe in Christ is to have faith in Christ. I readily and gladly admit that I believe in God and believe also in Christ. I would not believe in unbelieving scientists, scholars, journalists, politicians, etc. of the entire world put together. I know whom I have believed. This one thing I know, Jesus Christ is my God and Savior; this knowledge is more certain than anything else I know. Anyone has religious freedom, even an obscure journalist has the right not to believe in God. I stand with the giants of faith, Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, David, Elijah, Daniel, etc. of the Old Testament; and I stand with Paul, John, James, Peter, Andrew, Stephen, Timothy, Titus, etc. of the New Testament in believing in God and Jesus Christ. I stand with Martin Luther, John Locke, Abraham Lincoln, John Bunyan, William Tyndale, G. Campbell Morgan, J. C. Ryle, Helen Keller and many others who believed in God and also believed in Christ. I do not want to sit with any famous or infamous Western journalist or scientist or politician who does not believe in faith and prayer. Please read my article on Faith .
As regards prayer, Psa 65:2 , “O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come. ” I pray simply for the reason God hears my prayers. God has answered my prayers countless times. It is real and true. There is no reason for me to lie. God saved my life many times. There are hundreds and hundreds of millions of believers all over the world who have faith in God and pray. Psa 50:15 , “And call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify Me.”This Scripture cited above is more real to me than promise of any man, past or present. I must testify to the truth of it because I called upon the Lord in the days of trouble many many times, and the Lord delivered me, and I glorified Him. Hundreds of millions of Christians everywhere can testify to the true experiences. The first unforgettable experience was when I was drowning as a lad. Had not God delivered me I would have been dead long ago, eaten by a crocodile. Another time my tire blew up on a California freeway, God spoke and saved me. It is no exaggeration that God has answered my prayers a million times, big and small. My eyes have seen miracles and wonders.
1Th 5:17, “Pray constantly.” Just as we breathe, so we pray constantly.
Phl 4:6 , “ Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” I take the Word of God literally and I pray in everything. I pray when I could not find things. I used to pray for a parking space, latter I prayed for a seat on the subway train. I pray when I have pain or get sick. I pray when I shop to find the thing I need at good price. I pray the Lord to keep my mails safe. Once I did not receive the form a government agency sent out, I was penalized for half a year. I pray to meet the people I should meet and avoid the people I should avoid. I pray millions will visit my website and come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ. Please read my article on Prayer.
The ungodly journalist may want to be famous by attacking faith and prayer. “Faith and prayer just won’t cut it. In fact, they’ll get in the way.” He got pay for what he wrote. I have read many distorted, biased, and false articles written by supremacists who got pay for what they wrote. In defending the Christian faith, I do not and would not get pay for what I write. As a matter of fact, I wrote more than a hundred articles on my website posted free for truth and justice, and I did not and do not get pay for what I have written. I have written because I want the world to know the truth free of charge, more than 7 million words. The world is made of two groups of people: goat, unbelievers are on the left; sheep, believers are on the right. Which side are you? The choice is yours while you are still alive. After death comes judgment.
Psa 116:8 , “For You have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.”
Note: If you have known the God who has delivered your soul from death, your eyes from tears, and your feet from stumbling or falling; no famous or infamous persons can persuade you not to have faith in God and pray to Him constantly.
This is a timely and very pertinent and important subject in the face presidential campaigns. There are a few principles need to be enunciated because corrupt politics is clouded and muddled with many wrong ideas. This is deliberate; the topic is not Christianity and Politics.Why? Jhn 18:36, “Jesus answered:
My Kingdom is not of this world. If My Kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is, My Kingdom is not of this realm.” Christianity is not worldly, it is other worldly. So Christianity does not deal with politics of the world. There is no Christian nationalism. There is no Christian Republicanism. There is no Christian nation on earth. There are plenty warmongers, imperialists, colonialists, supremacists, militarists, capitalists, dictators and oppressors who claim and pretend to be Christians. Christians are not fighting for the kingdom of this world. Christians are citizens of Heaven. No one has the right to promote herself as a Christian candidate.
Eph 2:19, “So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household.” There are so many so-called self-anointed Bible advisors who label themselves evangelical or conservative but propose and propagate un-Biblical ideas for politicians to implement.
(A). There is no such a thing called Christendom. Western nations are not Christian nations. There is no Christian nation on earth. America is not a Christian nation. There is no historical evidence to claim that the United States was founded to be a Christian nation. The records of founding fathers like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, etc. are open for public examination. I am not interested in passing judgment on any of them whether they were Christians or not. If you reject the divinity of Jesus Christ, you cannot be a Christian. The issue is clear, if you think the United States is a Christian nation, national policy must be made in conformity to Christian principles. From its inception American white supremacists had killed the Red Indians and robbed their land. If the United States is not a Christian nation, you cannot force Christian
principles on a pagan population. In fact, America is the most secular and worldly nation on earth with the national values of money, power and sex.
(B). No one should claim that God wants him/her to run for presidency when God does not do so and does not say so. It is on the borderline of blasphemy to make such a false claim. It is very bad to advertise yourself as a “born again Christian” and at the same time do un-Christian things and believe in evolution. It is immoral to withhold information so that life insurance companies can make big profits in selling whole life while term life is cheaper and best for most people.
(C). It is wicked to sign into law to violate the sovereignty of another nation and sell costly and deadly weapons to promote military conflict and war. It is evil to use democracy, religious freedom, rule of law, etc. as pretexts to attack and occupy other nations.
(D). Imperialism, colonialism, hegemonism, militarism, capitalism, terrorism, etc. are not only un-Christian; they are bad and wicked for any nation to adopt.
(E). Religious freedom applies to all citizens of all cultures. People have the right to believe in whatever god or faith of their choice so long the practice of their religion does not violate the law of the land and world-wide established mores. Religions like that legitimize polygamy have legal problems. Polygamy is illegal under the American law and international law. Forced circumcision of female genitalia is cruel and barbaric. No religion can support terrorism under any pretext. Some states behead their citizens converted to Christianity. Human sacrifice practiced by primitive religions is prohibitive. Oppression of women and girls under religious dogma is not acceptable. Burning incense and burnt-offerings pollute the air and environment. Snakes are deadly dangerous; no religion can protect dangerous animals as gods at the expense of human lives and safety.
(F). The Bible teaches the ideal principle of marriage:
Note: The Scripture makes it clear: Wives submit to your own husbands; and husbands love your wives. The Scripture provides the model for a happy marriage. Wives submit to your husbands as the church submits to Christ. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loves the church. To love your wife is much more than to serve your wife. To love your wife is not to control your wife. We must be controlled by the Holy Spirit. Some feminists may argue against the inequality. Little do they know to submit is easy, to love is not. How difficult for a man to love his wife as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her. The doctrine is not about sacrificial love, it is about Christ’s authority as the Head of the Church. Submission to your husband does not mean you respect each other. Submit in Greek is hypotassō which means to subordinate, put in subjection, obey, yield; – it occurs 40 times in the New Testament. Do not have private interpretation of the Bible. A wife only submits to her husband in everything private and conjugal matters. If a wife is elected the president of the United States, the woman does not submit to her husband in matters of the state, she submits to the people of America. The woman who claims God wanted her to run for presidency the outcome WAS known. An unfulfilled prophecy is a false prophecy. No American woman has been elected American president so far. If God wants you to do something, you cannot fail. If you use God because you want to do something to advance yourself, you will face judgment.
(G). The Roman Catholic Church is an apostate church, papacy is anti-Christ. I do not know any pope is the Antichrist, because the Antichrist has not appeared yet. If a Catholic is elected the president, he can serve as long as he is not controlled by the monolithic Catholic church at the expense of American interest. By the same token, the principle applies to all other religions. However, the nation’s Catholic bishops have said repeatedly that a true Catholic cannot support any policy that allows abortion. In this way if a Catholic president wants to use his position to outlaw abortion, that makes him unfit to be the president. The abortion issue is the most facetious and malicious controversy. What should be done is not to outlaw abortion, but to outlaw adultery, fornication and sexual immorality which cause the pregnancy in the first place. Without illegal sex, there will be no need for abortion. Since it is impossible for a state or any state except a religion-dictated state to outlaw illicit sex, it is equally impossible to outlaw abortion. Why should a young woman raped by a criminal be forced to carry his child? My Christian view on sexual immorality and abortion cannot be forced upon the pagan population because America is not a Christian nation. Democracy is not theocracy. It is pointless and phony to argue at what point a baby gains human rights. Sex and abortion in a secular state should be a private matter and strictly regulated. For example, you cannot use fetus for illegal purposes. However, the state should not support women who had sex with men who did not love them and produced children they would not and could not support. For the same reason, although Christians are forbidden to divorce by Jesus Christ; the state cannot outlaw divorce to the pagan population although divorce should be regulated.
(H). It is hypocritical and irresponsible to maintain that the president can no longer consider his belief separate from action and faith unrelated to
policymaking. The confusion lies in the unequal mixing of individual responsibility with the responsibility of the head of state. Although I believe peace is better than war, if any nation is attacked by a foreign power, that nation has no choice but to defend itself and destroy its enemy if possible. As an individual Christian, whoever slaps you on your right cheek, you turn the other to him also. As the head of state, you have the responsibility to your people and nation. If you are a black president, you bent on advancing the interests of black people only, you are unfit to be president. For this reason, any unfair, unjust legislation should be abolished. Whenever a racial group is given special right, the other races lose their right. Whenever a racial group is given preferential treatment, the other races are discriminated. As the president, I cannot appoint all cabinet members on the criterion whether they are Christians or not, or appoint my brother to be the Attorney General as Kennedy did. Though the president has many rich friends, the policy of excluding those who have annual income of $500,000 or more from Social Security benefits is a sound policy. Even the president has many friends who are doctors and hospital owners, to let the healthcare providers to continuously gouge and defraud and bankrupt millions of American families is immoral and wicked. To give tax cuts to the rich and powerful is evil and a bad policy. To legalize same-sex marriage is to promote abnormal behavior and deviant sex practices. To simplify the tax system into one-page form without deductions and exemptions would eliminate the need of CPA and lawyers and other interest groups, and to promote progressive taxation is justice although the rich and business interest would oppose them. Although Christians should go to church to hear the Word of God and sing praises to God, it would be unconstitutional to make church attendance mandatory for a pagan population. There is no confusion or conflict what a Christian must do individually and what the president must do as the leader of the nation.
(I). A born-again Christian is a believer who has been saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior and the Holy Spirit enters and lives in him. It is phony for a politician to claim to be born again and believe in evolution. Jesus Christ validates and confirms the creation of man by direct act of God. Apostle Peter is not in charge of the pearly gate to question why anyone should be allowed into Heaven. George H.W. Bush answered, “I would tell him I’m a good person. I tried my best to do the right things.” According to his own words, apparently Bush did not or does not know the way of salvation. No one is good enough to go to heaven. Salvation cannot be earned by good deeds.
See my article on An Open Letter to President Bush.
I may offend some people by telling the truth, I do not believe Reagan was a Christian, nor do I believe Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson (these three presidents threatened to use nuclear weapons in China) were Christians. I do not believe George H.W. Bush is a Christian. I do not believe many past American presidents who are still living are
Christians. Some politicians now claim the “spiritual, not religious” mantle. True, Buddhists are religious but not Christian or spiritual. Islamic terrorists are religious but not spiritual. Dalai Lama is religiously claiming to be a living god, but not Christian or spiritual. The litmus test to be spiritual is this: Ask yourself do you know you have the Spirit of Christ in you? If you have the Spirit of Christ in you, then you are spiritual.
Rom 8:9 , “However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.”
(J). The question: Do they believe in Jesus? If so, what kind of Jesus do you believe in? – is not raised by a person who knows Jesus. There is no other Jesus except the historical Jesus presented in the New Testament.
1Ti 1:15 ,“It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.” This same Jesus was God who became Man. Jesus existed before His incarnation. Before Abraham was, He is. Jesus was born of the virgin Mary conceived by the Holy Spirit. Jesus’words and deeds are written in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John). Jesus died on the cross for sinners and rose again from the dead by the power of God. Jesus ascended to Heaven and now sitting at the right hand of God. Jesus is preparing a place (Paradise) for believers. I believe the place was prepared long ago. Jesus Christ is coming again to be King of kings and Lord of lords, to reign with the saints forever and ever.
(K). With all the principles and perspectives presented above, can a Christian run for the American presidency and do an effective job? It would not be easy because the government and politics have been corrupted by moneyed and special interests. The candidate must decide for himself so long not to use the name of God in vain. A true Christian will know what God wants him/her to do. Blessed are those who do the will of God. As the president, although being a Christian, he must respect the religious freedom under the law. He is the president of American people, not just the Christians. A Christian president cannot force Christian principles on a pagan population. A Christian president can seek justice, truth and peace. A Christian president must give up the empire, shut down all overseas military bases, shrink the government, reduce deficits and national debt, stamp out corruption, eliminate fraud in general and healthcare system in particular, overhaul the government to serve the interests of the greatest number of Americans, and seek a harmonious and peaceful world as his foreign policy objective.
The worst thing is the imperialism wearing the sheep clothing of Christianity. Those who lie, kill, destroy, and rob are children of the devil; they have nothing to do with Christianity.
Every human has a handicap; what I am referring to is not a physical handicap such as blindness, cerebral palsy, deafness, limp,paralysis, amputations, etc. What I am talking is a handicap worse than a physical handicap; it is a moral or spiritual handicap. Esau had a handicap, for one morsel of meat he sold his birthright.
Hbr 12:16 ,“Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.”
Balaam had a handicap because he loved the wages of unrighteousness.
2Pe 2:15 ,“Forsaking the right way, they have gone astray, having followed the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness.” That is the same sin committed by Wall Street,
Washington, and Hollywood.
Samson had a handicap, for the looks of a woman he was betrayed and ruined by Delilah.
Jdg 14:3 ,“Then his father and his mother said to him: Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines? But Samson said to his father: Get her for me, for she looks good to me.”
Good looks may be deadly as Delilah. The handicap of Judas the traitor was being a thief and love of money. For thirty pieces of silver Judas betrayed the Lord.
Mat 27:3-5 ,“Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying: I have sinned by betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? See to that yourself! And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself.” For the love of money, power, and sex people will destroy themselves. Blessed is the person who knows what is his/her handicap and guard against it. I want to be an eternal being without human limitation.
Have you read that there are 96.6 million unmarried adults in the United States? Just 51 percent of the adult population is married, down from 72 percent in 1960. Of those 51 percent of Americans who is married, what percentage has been divorced, and divorced how many times? It is a complicated and heart-breaking and tragic matter that so many peoples in the world never find the love of their lives. The so-called marriage made in Heaven was an illusion or delusion. Charles and Diana proved the case. Even those who are married do not mean they have found the love of their lives. Overwhelming people of married couples that I have known are unhappy people. It is added insult to injury if I say the American way of life is the wrong way of life. People do not know how to live. Almost all people who do not know how to live are self-centered and selfish. The prevalent American values of money, power and sex are not conducive to a happy marriage; not conducive to a happy life. The carnal life is never a foundation for a happy marriage, or a happy life. Man is born to unhappiness, not happiness. I have never met a couple who practices 1 Corinthian Chapter 13has a broken marriage, or a broken life or relationship. Love gives, not get. Those who want to get more than to give can never succeed in love, or in life.
Is there anything more bitter than marrying the wrong person, a marriage without love?
This is a most malicious and vicious lie: “If you are not a friend, you must be an enemy.” It is not so. There are billions of peoples in the world which I never meet and never know and will never meet or will never know; they are neither friends nor enemies. I wish all the peoples in the world seek peace, justice and truth. I wish all the peoples in the world become civilized, clean, and cultured. The world is big enough for everyone except an aggressor or a bully, or a corrupt official or a supremacist or a terrorist. I have no time for billions of peoples, and I do not seek an enemy. Every human being should live and let live. Mind your own business. Millions of people I have met in my life are boring and uninteresting and undesirable peoples, but they are not my enemies. Superficial people are easy to make friends, but they are not sincere people and so do not fall into their trap of sweet and flowery talk. Most people in the world are undependable and ungrateful people. It is not easy to find a true friend. The proverb says: A friend in need is a friend indeed. Only when you are in need you can discover who your friend is. If you find none, that is the sad situation of human affairs. Friends can become enemies; but enemies are unlikely to become friends. The idea of demanding people to be your friend or else you consider him your enemy is the silliest and senseless idea. Friendship cannot be bought or forced. Friendship is not made but recognized and maintained by mutual commitment. When loyalty is broken, friendship is automatically dissolved. White supremacists practice the wicked philosophy of “if not a friend it must be an enemy.” Western powers have executed this hostile attitude and act of aggression and division by demarcating the world in order to gain world domination. Supremacists demand friends and seek enemies to justify their existence – that is why they have committed so much evil in the world. In human terms, you do not need to put people into two camps: friends or enemies. In divine terms, if you are not a believer of Christ, you are an unbeliever. If you are a lover of the world, you are an enemy of God. Only God deals in absolute terms, humans should not play God.
This is a startling fact about human beings: The poor know that they are poor, but the foolish do not know they are foolish. The ignorant do not know they are ignorant. There are countless examples to support the thesis. For one, an ignorant Chinese said the Federal Express belongs to the United States government; he knew that because he had been to America. It is futile and useless to argue with people who pretend to know what they do not know at all. The foolish says, death is the end of everything; not knowing there is judgment after death, and Hell is prepared for the unbelievers and the wicked.
Human is a creature of habit. Good habits may help you do well. Bad habits may enslave and ruin you. Most people may not have thought about the blunders of linear thinking because they are not conscious of its consequences. To have the same frame of reference, it is necessary to define what linear thinking is. Linear thinking is a habitual, rigid, simplistic and straight-line thinking. It compels itself to move forward even there is something blocking the way. It travels the same way as a person drives to work following the same route everyday. This is an illustration of the futility and failure of linear thinking. A friend of ours asked to buy a bottle of French Champaign for her. I went to a middle class supermarket to buy a certain item. I left and went to an upper class supermarket to look for various brands of Champaign. Then I suddenly realized to compare prices with a middle class supermarket, and so I went again to the middle class supermarket for Champaign. Finally after gathering price data from both the upper class and middle class supermarkets, it dawned on me that I should check on a French supermarket. In the French supermarket, I found various brands and prices of Champaign. That was a veryproductive result. Then it dawned on me, no bottle of whatever liquid is allowed to be brought on an airplane. To be shipped there is no guarantee of not broken bottle. The whole endeavor came to nothing, all I had to do is to advice our friend to go to a French supermarket in her city to get a bottle of her choice and we will pay for it. The defect of linear thinking is to do one thing at a time without considering the whole process and constraint and finding out the easiest and simplest way of achieving a goal. Had I known a bottle of Champaign would not be allowed to carry into an airplane, the whole shopping trips would not be necessary. Time and efforts would have been saved and not wasted. What a fuss! Many a time stop and think whether what you do is a profitable thing. You need a road map (real or imaginary) in your mind before you proceed to undertake a project big or small. Many successful people in history do not make blunders of linear thinking. They have flexible thinking, circular thinking, circumventing thinking, humbling down thinking, and zigzag thinking which is adaptive thinking to the circumstances. Let us examine the lives of three great men and one great woman who made great decisions that changed their lives for eternity.
Abraham was not a linear thinker. Once God told him to leave town and go to a place that he did not know. Abraham did what God had spoken.Gen 17:23-24,“Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said to him. Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.”
Note: Abraham was the man who believed and obeyed whatever God required of him. Abraham was not a linear thinker, he knew he must adapt to the command of God. Even he was 99 years old, he did something new by circumcision. Abraham thought to do what God said to him. Now this is the same path every Christian must take. When you
discard your old ways and follow Christ, it is a new beginning. Abraham was unlike many who could not change their way of thinking and lifestyle even when they are young.
Gen 18:19, “For I have chosen him, so that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice, so that the LORD may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken about him.”
Note: Abraham did as God had commanded him. Furthermore, Abraham commanded his children and descendants to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice. The way of the Lord is the way of righteousness and justice. Western powers claim to be Christian nations, in the last 300 years or more, they did just the opposite of righteousness and justice. Western powers under imperialism, colonialism, capitalism, militarism and hegemonism have done great evil in the world.
Ruth was one of the most remarkable women ever lived in history although she came from a humble origin. There was a famine in the land of Judah, and a certain man called Elimelech, and his wife, Naomi of Bethlehem went to sojourn in the land of Moab with their two sons Mahlon and Chilion. Elimelech died. His two sons took for themselves Moabite women as wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. And they lived there about ten years. Then both Mahlon and Chilion also died, and Naomi was bereft of her two children and her husband. Naomi was to return to the land of Judah.
Rth 1:8,“And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law: Go, return each of you to her mother’s house. May the LORD deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me.” They kissed each other goodbye and lifted up their voices and wept. Here something unusual happened: Orpah had gone back to her people and her gods; but Ruth clung to Naomi. Ruth did not do the linear (usual）thing as most daughters-in-law would do.
Rth 1:16-18，”But Ruth said : Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God. Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me. When she saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.”
Note: Ruth said some of the most beautiful and moving things ever said. Only a beautiful and noble soul could have said what Ruth said. It required determination to abandon linear thinking and do the unusual.
Rth 2:11-13 ,“Boaz replied to her: All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know. May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge. Then she said: I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants.”
Note: Virtue is like fragrance you cannot miss. The beauty and virtue of Ruth spread like sweet smell. Those who come and seek refuge under the wings of God are blessed. It is very rare to find beauty and humility in one person. Boaz with all his wealth and honor was blessed and enriched even more by finding Ruth, a woman of excellence, as his wife. If there were a marriage made in Heaven, this was it. The women were right in saying to Naomi: “…for your daughter-in-law, who loves you and is better to you than seven sons.” According to the genealogy: Boas begot Obed, Obed begot Jesse, and Jesse begot David.
1Sa 22:3 , “And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab: Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me.”
Note: When David was chased by King Saul, he made a startling statement that expounds the truth about the blunder of linear thinking. David knew he had to take care of his parents even in most difficult
circumstances. David would not run ahead of God, he followed God’s plan. The most important thing to know is what God will do for you, not what you will do for God. What you fancy to do with your life may not be what God wants you to do as a lifework. Blessed is the man who knows what God will do for him and what God wants him to do. David was tending his father’s flock at Bethlehem. David left the flock with a keeper and took the supplies to the camp of his brothers and went as Jesse his father had commanded him. When all the men of Israel saw the Philistine named Goliath, they fled from him and were greatly afraid. Unlike other young shepherds who would deliver the food supplies and went home, David heard the war cry and asked a question.
1Sa 17:26 ,“Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying: What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?” When you are in a crisis, blessed are you if you know how to raise the right question.
David’s question angered his oldest brother. The siblings and relatives may often misunderstand or misjudge a man of God. Never would people think a young shepherd boy could kill both the lion and the bear and even the giant Goliath.
1Sa 17:37 ,“And David said: The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David: Go, and may the LORD be with you.” And the rest was history. So David could say,
Psa 23:4 ,“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
Act 8:1-2 ,“Saul was in hearty agreement with putting him to death. And on that day a great persecution began against the church in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. Some devout men buried Stephen, and made loud lamentation over him.”
Note: Paul was Saul who persecuted the church and attacked Christians. Later Saul became Paul, the most famous of the apostles and wrote most books of the New Testament, the 14 Pauline epistles – from Romans to Hebrews. On the road to Damascus, and suddenly a light from Heaven flashed around Saul.
Act 9:4-6 ,“And he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? And he said: Who are You, Lord? And He said: I am Jesus whom you are persecuting, but get up and enter the city, and it will be told you what you must do.”
Act 22:6-10, “But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from Heaven all around me, and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me: Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? And I answered: Who are You, Lord? And He said to me: I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting. And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me. And I said: What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said to me: Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.”
Note: After meeting the Lord, Saul changed into Paul, not only abandoning the linear thinking; he made a 360° change, and how much he would suffer for Jesus name’s sake. Anyone who had seen the Lord could not be the same. Whoever is called by the Lord will be told what he must do.
Act 18:5 ,“But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the Word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.”
Note: The servant of Christ must devote himself completely to the Word of God and solemnly testify that Jesus Christ is the Lord and Savior.
Act 23:1, “Paul, looking intently at the Council, said: Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day.”
Note: This is the way every servant of Christ must live: Live with a perfectly good conscience before God. Those who love money, power and sex do not have a good conscience.
2Ti 1:12 ,“For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.”
Note: This is the perfect perspective of a servant of Christ and a believer. Christ is able to save you and me to the end.
2Ti 4:7-8 , “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.”
Note: The whole task of a Christian life and ministry is to fight the good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith. This is not the usual life of an unbeliever. How many can say like Paul, “I have … I have … I have… That is the difference between a success and a failure.
The subject does not relate to how to save yourself from sin and eternal damnation in hell. No one can save himself from sin and penalty of sin. That is only what Jesus Christ can do for you.
Jhn 8:24 ,“Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.” Note: Unless you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God whom God sent to save the world and repent of your sins, you will die in your sins. No religion and no other man can save you from your sins. How to prove it?
As Jesus says, you will die in your sins. The wages of sin is death. All will die because all have sinned. If you have not sinned, you will not die. But you can save yourself from many terrible things. Above all, you can save yourself from yourself. To save yourself from yourself, you have to know yourself. The first prerequisite to know yourself is to have a full realization of your own ignorance, stupidity, inadequacy, incompetency, defect, fault, flaw, shortcomings and weaknesses. You can be your own greatest friend or greatest enemy. If you do something bad for yourself, you are your own greatest enemy. If you do something good for yourself, you are your own greatest friend.
Everyone is ignorant in the things they do not know. There are infinite things that you and I do not know. Even an arrogant scientist does not know when he is going to die. A willingness to learn and a pursuit of knowledge will reduce your ignorance. I have known people who thought something must be wrong simply because they did not know it. Just like a high school student thought the Einstein’s formula of E=mc² was wrong because he could not understand it. When I was a kid I was fascinated by the Book of Proverbs; try the Wisdom of Solomon it might enlighten you in human affairs. I told my students, everyone was born stupid (except Jesus who was God and became Man), that is why you need a college education.
Try to be reasonable, for a reasonable man does not easily lose his senses or lose his temper. When things go wrong, you could be the blame. If you are right, you have no reason to get angry. If you are wrong, you have no right to get angry. If your subordinate makes a blunder, it could be you failed to give good instruction or properly train your worker. The team fails it may be you are a poor manager. If you cannot control your temper, it is like a car losing the brake. A hot-tempered person destroys himself and others. To save yourself from bad temper is vital in saving yourself from yourself.
I am not sure whether some people were born diligent like an eager beaver or not. I know everyone can get lazy. Laziness is advanced by bad habits. You can develop a bad habit of getting up late, not finishing what you do, not doing your homework or household work, etc. Lazy people lack self-discipline and usually unmotivated. Study the ants; if you are lazy, you are no better than an ant. A responsible person must do what he must do, that is why no responsible people can be lazy. There is no hope for lazybones, not even in this world. The choice is yours.
A person is dirty could be influenced by his culture and background or ignorance. There are primitive people who do not brush their teeth. There are poor people who have no facility to take a bath. There is a correlation between the level of a civilization and the condition of a toilet. The higher the civilization, the cleaner the toilet. The lower the civilization, the dirtier the toilet. Those who smoke, spit, and litter have uncivilized customs or habits. A man who has self-respect cannot be dirty.
People who are arrogant overestimate themselves with a sense of superiority and have a wrong world view like white supremacists who want to dominate the world. Arrogance is also a spiritual sickness that ruined Lucifer the angel who turned into the devil. Learn humility by practice. Inform yourself no one is humble enough. If you think you are humble enough, you are not humble at all. Remember what the Bible says, Pro 16:18 , “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before stumbling.” Self-indulgence is the path to self-destruction. Imperialists, hegemonists, militarists, capitalists, terrorists, dictators and oppressors are all arrogant people who have done great evil in the world. All evil empires have fallen and will fall. In 2020 you witnessed the arrogance of a leader on world stage that you had never seen before. All supremacists are arrogant, whether white or black.
People who are impatient have character flaws. Impatient people are either childish or immature. The plant takes time to grow; you cannot make it grow by pulling. Rome is not built in a day. Almost anything worthwhile takes time to develop or achieve. One man told me it took him 10 years to earn his B.A. degree.
The world is not fair; some people were born rich, and most were born poor. By hard work and education, most people can lift themselves out of poverty. When you are educated, you have skills. When you have knowledge and skills, you are employable. When you are employed, you receive wages and at least you are no longer poor. I am aware how capitalists oppress workers by making them slave labors with low wages. I told my students, if you have the ability to think, speak and write – no matter in what life situation and social circumstance, you will do well. America is a racist society with all sorts of discrimination and dominated by white people while blacks enjoy Affirmative Action with special rights and treatments. If you have knowledge and skills, although you cannot reach the top with your potential, at least you would not be poor. However, America has changed structurally and speedily since the golden days of President Richard Nixon that today higher education becomes unaffordable and thus chances of social mobility become less and less. A good government must provide educational opportunities and decent employment for all its citizens. What I am suggesting here is what you can do for yourself, not what you can do to change the government or system of government.
Almost any ordinary person can have an ordinary success. An ordinary person must not try to achieve an extraordinary success. If you are not good in mathematics, do not aspire to be a mathematician. If you cannot draw, do not dream of becoming a great master like Leonardo da Vinci or Rembrandt. If you are not specially gifted, it is no use of trying to be a great writer or thinker. Do not harbor an unholy ambition. It is bad to become the richest man in the world by monopoly and predatory practices; even the monetary success is a dismal moral failure. I know a man who was born poor in a log cabin. He wanted to be a lawyer. By self-study he succeeded to become a lawyer. He wanted to serve the people, and he got elected to the Congress. Eventually he became the president of the United States – the greatest president of the United States. This illustrates by determination a person can lift himself up and made himself somebody. However, not everything you aspire can be achieved. It is romantic to try the impossible dream; in practice what is impossible for man is never possible. The man who preached the probability gospel and prosperity gospel, his cathedral filed for bankruptcy and was sold. Only with God nothing is impossible and everything is possible. Don’t try to imitate the eagle to fly without wings.
An extreme man is a product of unbalanced and immoral action, incorrect perception and erroneous conception. That was why Goldwater failed. That was why Hitler failed. The best thing in life is to go the right path, without turning to the right or turning to the left. The golden mean is to avoid excess or insufficiency. Too much is just as bad as too little. Too generous is as bad as too selfish. Too much sweet turns sour. Too much light blinds the eye. Blessed is the man who knows what is enough is enough.
There is no greater joy than marrying the girl you love and the girl who loves you.
A useless life is an early death. The older I grow, the more useless people I have met.
There is no greater coward than those who oppress the weak.
America has invented a distorted magic mirror: when American leaders and politicians clearly see themselves busy solely AGGRESSIVE, OPPRESSIVE, DECEPTIVE, PROVOCATIVE, ABUSIVE, AND DESTRUCTIVE … It has a perverted view and it automatically changes the scene and so they call it CHINA. They make many false charges against China and Russia. And without conscience those liars charge that China has centralized politics and aggressive foreign policy, and China’s diplomats harangue other countries, and Beijing’s international aggression without the slightest evidence. Whatever evil deeds the children of the devil have done, they on purpose blame on China. As long as American and European leaders and politicians have perverted and depraved views of Russia and China, there cannot be peace in the world. It takes two sides to make peace. China and Russia practice multilateralism, and the peoples have the freedom to choose.
What cannot be realized in life I seek in my dream.
A worldly man may say, “I celebrate myself, and sing myself.” But a humble Christian will always declare, Psa 13:6, ”I will sing to the LORD, because He has looked after me.”
Thank God, I was not born white; otherwise I would be encumbered by the historical crimes and sins of white ancestors manifested in imperialism, colonialism and capitalism; enslaved by the burden of knowing the white have taking advantage of other races; slanted by the worldview of racial superiority; and humiliated by the practice of phony Christianity. Being Chinese is neither black nor white; the golden mean of the human race, with freedom to seek the truth in Jesus Christ and in cultivating and expressing the spiritual values of humanity.
IN CONCLUSION
2Ch 25:4, “However, he did not put their children to death, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, which the LORD commanded, saying, “Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.”
According to the Law of Moses, which was given by God, Fathers shall not be put to death for sons, nor sons be put to death for the fathers; but each shall be put to death for his own sin.
The imperial system of a certain nation put nine clans to death is not just or fair. According to the Word of God, each shall be put to death for his own sin. The same was true in the Old Testament, the same is true in the New Testament.
Dan 9:13,“Just as it is written in the Law of Moses, all this disaster has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our wrongdoing and giving attention to Your truth.”
The Jewish people faced disaster because they disobeyed the Law of Moses. People seek favor of the Lord our God by turning from our wrongdoing and giving attention to God’s truth.
Recently I gave testimony to a 93-year old man that by believing in Jesus Christ one may enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The old man rejected the message with his little finger. The old man did not turn from his wrongdoing and giving attention to the truth of God. Someday he will be too late to regret in Hell.
Jhn 10:26, “But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.”
People do not believe because they are not the sheep of Jesus.
It is written,
Heb 2:3, “How will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard.”
This is most serious. The Lord Jesus Christ came down from Heaven to die for sinners and provided so great a salvation.
Neglect in Greek is ameleōwhich means to make light; to be careless of; to disregard; — which occurs 5 times in the New Testament. You must not disregard so great a salvation to have eternal life and inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. If you do, there is no escape from Hell.
Jhn 8:23-24, “And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I AM from above; you are of this world, I AM not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
Jesus is saying to the world, unless you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Savior of mankind, you will die in your sins.
It is written,
Mat 4:10, “Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD
YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.’”
Jesus told Satan to go away, for you shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.
Mat 21:13, “And He said to them, “It is written: ‘MY HOUSE WILL BE CALLED A HOUSE OF PRAYER‘; but you are making it a DEN OF ROBBERS.”
Today there are people using the name of Jesus and Gospel to make it a Den of Robbers. Some are called foundation or association. People who merchandise the Gospel and pretend to serve the Lord.
Mar 7:6, “But He said to them, “Rightly did Isaiah prophesy about you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.”
The hypocrites are those who honor the Lord with their lips, but their heart is far away from the Lord.
Luk 24:46, “and He said to them, “So it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day.”
importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ has Scriptural basis.
Jhn 6:45, “It is written in the Prophets: ‘AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.”
It is my hope that you are taught of God and have heard and learned from the Father and come to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Luk 9:62, “But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
To be a disciple of Jesus is like putting your hand to the plow. So you look straight to follow Jesus, and never look back.
I have sincerely presented to you the Gospel of Jesus Christ which agrees with the Word of God. Will you come to accept Jesus now? The decision is yours.
Descendants of American Flying Tigers whose forefathers had sacrified their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinse government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanse aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN overappointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much covergage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
International community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron reognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezebolla, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukranians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless.Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, overappointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voordoism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.

They were not “immigration raids” in Los Angeles, they were and they are ”unlawful migration raids.” You see there are evil forces conspiring to destroy America from within. Some are flying Mexican flags. It may be good idea not to imprison protesters but deport them to Mexico! California governor and Los Angeles mayor are on the wrong side of history. I have lived through two most horrible Los Angeles black riots. Unlawful migrants are not immigrants. It is mentally retarded who cannot distinguish between an immigrant and unlawful migrant. Children born to illegal aliens although in America are not American citizens. Latino, Mexican, Black illegal aliens must be deported without further delay. Protesters and labor unions are not patriotic Americans. Enforecement of the law is neither repression nor authoritarianism. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, do not deserve any humanitarian aid. The only right is to deport 45 million illegal aliens already in America right away. To hire or hide illegal aliens are felony. Most of them are on welfare; their names and addresses can be checked on the Welfare Department.
It is sheer stupidity to give debt relief to Africa whereas its leaders are con men who live in luxury; and its people are lazy, eat and drink beer, sing and dance, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support.
There is no hope for the world because what should be done is not done:
1.For all war crimes and terrorist acts, Putin failed to annihilate Ukraine and execute its nincompoop and left Ukraine desolate and never be rebuilt. NATO & EU should be aslo abolished.
2.The chiefs of UN & WHO and all high-paid officials must be replaced, be reformed in a year.
3.Terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis must be destroyed FOR GOOD.
4.The nuclear facilities of Iran must be demolished for good. Do not give a breathing space. Aim at total annihilation so that Iran cannot retaliate OR rebuild.
5.Palestinians must be evacuated from Jewish lands and resettle in Arab lands to build a Palestinian state and make living on their own.
6. Undeveloped nations and peoples who do nothing to help themselves must be left to gut and rot.
7.The USA must give up its empire, world domination.
World media portrays Palestinians as victims in struggle. The world believes in a lie! The truth is the fact Palestinians were Arabs who surreptitiously moved into Palestine without pay during the British colonial rule. They bred like rabbits and occupied the Jewish lands. The Palestinian authority is not a state, and misleads the Palestinians to a path of destruction. Palestinians are irrational, bad, irresponsible, unmotivated and useless people. They would rather be classified as refugees so that they can get everything free through international aid, they would not go to Arab lands to build its own Palestinian state and make a life of their own.
Any country who shares destiny with corrupt countries will certainly come to RUIN!!!
If terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah and Houthis are destroyed, and Palestinians expatriated and resettled in Arab lands, the conflict of Palestine and Israel will be no more. If Iran nuclear facilities are destroyed, Iran will be no more threat to the world. If the Ukrainian nincompoop is executed for his war crime, corruption and abuse of power, the Ukraine and Russia conflict will be gone. If the traitorous leaders of People Progressive Party are executed, Taiwan will reunify with China at once.
What the heck, won’t it wonderful if all nations and peoples seek peace and justice? The Bible gives one reason why not, 1Jo 5:19, “We know that we are of God, andthat the whole world lies
in the power of the evil one.”
Evil is like fire will destroy the nation and peoples. When preferential treatment is given to a certain race, all races suffer discrimination. Rejection of unqualified and undisciplined black employees and discharge because poor performance are not racial discrimination. Affirmative Action is illegal and unconstitutional, it must be completely eliminated. Diversify has gone too far, it must be abandoned. Harvard is the richest university in the world; universities are not for education, they are for money and ideology. Student loans cannot default or be forgiven, they must get jobs to pay back. Universities can have academic freedom, and freedom of speech but no federal funding. There are too many parasites who live on government funds; no subsidy of any business or contracts. Illegal aliens are unlawful criminals, they have no civil right, human right and do not deserve humanitarian aid. They cannot be on welfare. They deserve only to be deported without payment. All races must compete on an equal footing. How is there any hope for the ugliest, darkest, laziest and useless people who only eat and drink and produce many children they cannot support? Why EU and NATO support the evil and corrupt Ukraine nincompoop and prolong the war? America aids support evil.
1Jo 2:17-18, “The world is passing away and also its lusts; but the one who does the will of God continues to live forever. Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour.”
“As an American by nationality” I have to do my best to warn my fellow Americans:
America is committing suicide by failing to deport 45 million illegal aliens already residing in America, most of them are on welfare; failing to deter and prevent hordes of unlawful migrants to enter the United States. America needs to punish Mexico who is the conduit for illegal migrants to enter America. Unlawful migrants are criminals who do not have any right, civil or humanitarian.
America is committing suicide WITH large budget deficits of 1.9 trillion (2025) and national debt of 36.2 trillion (2025). Wealth and power are in the hands of leaders and politicians, the two parties, courts, the military, bureaucrats, and vested interests. Watch out the global demonstrators who oppose federal cuts, but endorse debt and deficits, waste and fraud in the government.
America is committing suicide by media promoting the wrong cultural values, lewdness, violence and unwholesome behavior; over representing and over employing blacks. Jobs must be earned, they cannot be given. If a journalist by accident received classified information, he should not and would not publish it because he/she is patriotic. If classified information is published, the journalist is a traitor.
America is committing suicide by not outlawing, banning, prohibiting, and controlling the manufacturing, selling, transporting of guns and weapons of destruction and not making the American English the only official language in America.
America is committing suicide by unnecessarily making Russia and China enemies and rivals.
America is committing suicide by failing to disregard pathetic EU (including Britain, Australia, Canada); dismiss NATO & QUAD; and discard Ukraine, Phillippines, Türkiye, Japan, South Korea, South Africa and Taiwan.
America is committing suicide by being an empire to dominate the world instead of seeking a just and lasting peace for the world as President Richard Nixon did.
America is committing suicide by letting the U.S. Health Care the most costly in the world, by letting doctors, dentists, hospital owners, drug and insurance companies, hospital and medical suppliers to defraud and overcharge patients with indemnity.
America is committing suicide by having a diet which produces an increasing large population of overweight people.
IRS can cut its employees 2/3 by simple change of policy and procedure. Henceforth, there will be no deductions, exemptions, expenses, number of dependents for individual taxpayers or business corporations. They will not have to pay for CPA or tax consultant.
$50,000 income and Under $50,000 is tax free.
$60,000 to $1 million pay 5%.
$1 million $100,000 to $10 million pay 10%.
$10 million $100,000 to $20 million pay 20%.
$20 million $100,000 to $40 million pay 40%.
$40 million $100,000 to $50 million pay 50%.
$50 million $100,000 to $1 billion pay 80%.
$1 billion $100,000 and above pay 90%.
America is committing suicide by using tariffs as weapons.
It is in the self-interest of America to help Israel to destroy terrorists Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. All Palestinians must be evacuated from Gaza, etc. the Jewish landand relocate permanently in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state. The aim of Israel is not to defeat Hamas, but to destroy Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis. Hamas should never be allowed to return to Gaza; all Palestinians must be instructed by Palestinian Authority, UN, WHO, ALL ARAB-ISLAMIC-BLACK nations to evacuate from Jewish land and settle in Arab lands to build their Palestinian state.
CHINA does not share cultural values with Africa. If Africa has the right cultural values, why after hundreds of years Africa is still the most undeveloped, most primitive, poorest, and worst parts of the world? If China space program can create space vehicles loaded with nuclear weapons, on earth by a press of button, can target and annihilate any hostile nations and peoples in less than half an hour — then China is free indeed — no nation can threaten China anymore. Then China can deal with corruption, organized crime, abuse of power, fraud, fake news, and dirty toilets effectively. There are dark and evil forces inside China who want to destroy China. They are the organized criminals who must be executed. China must beware of all foreign countries who pay lip service to “one China” policy, actually they are coy about seeking “financial support” from China on everything so that their leaders can practice “official corruption”; and their peoples can sing and dance, play games and golf, eat and drink beer, enjoy sex and produce many children they cannot support. Any nation who shares destiny with these useless countries will come to ruin!!!
“As a Chinese by race”, I am doing my best in sincerity to suggest strategy to the land of my ancestors:
CHINA does not need to make contributions to global economy. China needs only to make its economy the number one in the world. China’s modernization can succeed by demanding manufacturers to produce only quality products; by protecting the environment and by increasing the standard of living for the people including people on wheel chair. China construction machinery is a good example of China’s modernization.
To prevent flooding and deaths, CHINA needs to accelerate dredging and clearing of all rivers, lakes, canals and waterways to absorb rain water.
The stupidity is to program robots to engage in fighting like boxing. The only way to use AI is to use robots in useful and construtive ways.
China’s modernization can succeed by stopping all foreign aid to help the China’s poor first, by reducing debt and deficits to do the following strategic projects:
China needs to use AI in all technologies including manufacturing, industry, transportation, navigation, logistics, agriculture, and modernizing toilet facilities.
China needs to train 5 million doctors, dentists, nurses, teachers, professors, scientists, and technicians in the next 5 years.
China needs to eliminate corruption, organized crime, harmful fake news,counterfeit money, fraud by execution of the culprits.
China needs to repair the Great Wall, conquer the deserts, dust storms, natural and man-made disasters.
Chinese TV and movies need to promote cultural values, morality, responsibility and integrity.
10. China’s troops should never be sent under UN’s peace-keeping force to countries habitually having conflicts and civil wars –to die for nothing.
11. Talking is useless: China needs to liberate Taiwan now by force, and execute traitorous leaders of People’s Progressive Party in public.
12. China needs to rebuild Yuan Ming Garden which was burned down and looted by the allied 8-nation troops. They must pay compensation through diplomacy now or by military force later.
13. Pay for all costs and reward financially women who give births.
14. Pet economy is a wasted economy. Money should be spent for the nourishment and education of children and orphans.

BY WILLIE WONG
THE TOPIC OR QUESTION OF JESUS VS GOD IS FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG. A WRONG QUESTION CAN NEVER HAVE THE RIGHT ANSWER. THOSE WHO RAISE THE QUESTION DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND DO NOT HAVE THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF GOD, AND WHO DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT JESUS SAYS AND WHO JESUS IS.
God Vs Satan or God Vs the devil — is not necessary. For long ago, the devil lost the war in Heaven and was cast down to the earth. The devil is present the ruler of the world, many world leaders and politicians are actually agents of the devil. However, God had sentenced the devil and demons and evil spirits to Hell for eternal suffering. The effective execution date is the Day of Jesus second coming.
What cost God so much is called the grace of God. You are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not anything you can do or deserve salvation.
This man did not know what the cross means, or what is the work of Christ. Jesus Christ died for all sinners once, if you insist to go to Hell, that is without remedy. Jesus came from above and returned to the Father with or without you. Why made yourself so important, little worm?
When the devil knocks at the door of my heart, I tremble and kneel down to pray, “My God and Savior, deliver me from evil.” Jesus Christ is not your servant that you can send around.
Some unbeliever was so evil to say that if Jesus Christ had lived to his age, he would have repudiated his doctrine. On the contrary, Jesus Christ says,
Jhn 14:21, “The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
Jhn 15:10, “If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s
commandments and remain in His love.”
The following Scriptures condemns anyone who rejects the Words of Jesus as a liar and had evil spirit.
1Jo 2:3-4, “By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. The one
who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
1Jo 3:22, “and whatever we ask, we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.”
Do not call yourselves Christians if you do what God hates. God hates warmongers, liars, killers and robbers.
remains in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He remains in us, by the Spirit whom He has given
us.”
1Jo 5:2, “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and follow His commandments.”
1Jo 5:3, “For this is the love of God, that we keep His
commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.”
2Jo 1:6, “And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you are to walk in it.”
Jesus says:
Mat 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
Mar 13:31, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
Luk 21:33, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.”
A false theologian said, “On the basis of the eternal will of God we have to think of EVERY HUMAN BEING, even the oddest, most villainous or miserable, as one to whom Jesus Christ is Brother and God is Father; and we have to deal with him on this assumption.”
Not every human being to whom Jesus Christ is Brother and God is Father; the assumption is false.
Jesus says,Jhn 8:44, “You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own
nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Anyones who tell a lie and kill and rob are children of the devil.
1Jo 3:10, “By this the children of God and the children of the devil are obvious: anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor the one who does not love his brother and sister.”
1Jo 5:1-2, “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone
who loves the Father loves the child born of Him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when
we love God and follow His commandments.”
Eph 5:6, “See that no one deceives you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”
Do not be fooled, the sons of disobedience to whom Jesus Christ is not their Brother and God is not their Father.
No where in the Scripture that says God intends to make you like Jesus. Can you be like Jesus to turn water into wine? Can you be like Jesus to walk on water? Can you be like Jesus to feed the 5,000 men with five loaves of bread and two fish? Can you raise a man who had been dead for 4 days like Jesus did?
The Scripture says:
Col 3:4-10, “When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory. Therefore, treat the parts of your earthly body as dead to sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, and in them you also once walked, when you were living in them.
But now you also, rid yourselves of all of them: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you stripped off the old self with its evil practices, and have put on the new self, which is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created it—.”
3Jo 1:11, “Beloved, do not imitate what is evil, but what is good. The one who does what is good is of God; the one who does what is evil has not seen God.”
Whether you are a Christian or not can be proven by your deeds.
Eph 4:12-16, “for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the building up of the Body of Christ; until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ. As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of people, by craftiness in deceitful
scheming; but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, that is, Christ, from whom the whole Body, being fitted and held together by what every joint supplies, according to the proper working of each individual
part, causes the growth of the Body for the building
An unbeliever was so mad in saying, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.”
It is lie that makes the world mad. The world is mad because world leaders and politicians tell lies and kill and rob and at the same time call themselves Christians.
answered, “You say correctly that I am a King. For this purpose I have been born, and for this I have
come into the world: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”
The ungodly world has many lies to mispresent Jesus Christ, Jesus Vs God – is one of them. Everyone who is of the truth listens to the Voice of Jesus.
Someone put Jesus Christ on the same par with Shakespeare does not know who Jesus Christ is.
Anyone who puts Jesus Christ at the same level with any other man or woman, does not know the Lord. No mankind is worthy to compare with Jesus.
Someone said he was from the devil. This is not a joking matter. The man who is from the devil is the son of perdition. Another was so wrong to say, “If power made one evil, then God would be the Devil.” Devil is always devil, devil can never become God. God would never be the devil. Another was also so wrong to say, “Better the devil you know than the angel you don’t.” Those who think they really know the devil, they fool themselves. Aside the fallen angel, all angels of God are good. You do not have to doubt an angel. Except the angel of death who comes after you, angels usually do not do harm.
Jesus says, Mat 16:24-27, “Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
For what good will it do a person if he gains the whole world, but forfeits his soul? Or what will a person give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY PERSON
That is why the leaders and politicians of US, EU, UK, NATO, GANG-7, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, Japan dance upon the brink of Hell as though they were on the verge of Heaven.
Christianity does not need any genuine scientist or philosopher to say that he believes in the Resurrection, or indeed in any other cardinal dogma of the Christian Faith.
God became Man in the person of Jesus Christ is the greatest mystery of the universe.
John Nelson Darby was right in saying, “The Lord Jesus died for the ungodly. He was obedient at all costs: He bore everything, and went down into the dust of death, man’s hatred, God’s desertion, and Satan’s power; we find Him there at the cost of everything. Everything that was against us was done away. By one man’s obedience many are made righteous.”
Jesus Christ has accomplished so great a salvation.
An immoral preacher distorted and misrepresented Jesus Christ said something very wrong about Jesus, “Jesus Christ was an extremist.” For Jesus says about Himself, Mat 11:27-30, “All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son determines to reveal Him. Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light.”
Sinners, come to Jesus.
I. THE INCOMPARABLE JESUS
1. Moses prophesied about Jesus.
Deu 18:15, “The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen; to him you shall listen.”
2. Isaiah prophesied the virgin birth of Jesus.
Isa 7:14, “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will conceive and give birth
to a Son, and she will name Him Immanuel.”
3. Micah prophesied the birthplace of Jesus.
Mic 5:2, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you One will come forth for Me to be Ruler in Israel. His times of coming forth are from long ago, from the days of eternity.”
You and I are different from Jesus. The day we are born, the day we begin, we do not have prior existence. But Jesus was from the days of eternity before He came to the world.
The Old Testament prophesies that the Messiah will come. The New Testament presents the Messiah is here. Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
4. The wise men from the East saw the Star of Jesus.
Mat 2:1-2, “Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
Magi in Greek ismagos which means wise men; the oriental wise men (astrologers) who, having discovered by the rising of a remarkable star that the Messiah had just been born, came to Jerusalem to worship him (Strong’s Concordance); – which occurs 6 times in the New Testament.
watch over their flock at night. And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood near them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. And so the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people; for today in the city of David there has been born for you the Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly army of angels praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among people with whom He is pleased.” When the angels had departed from them into Heaven, the shepherds
began saying to one another, “Let’s go straight to Bethlehem, then, and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
6. Jesus’ claims.
Mat 26:63-64, “But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, “I place You under oath by the living God, to tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God.” Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of Heaven.”
RESCUE Him now, IF HE TAKES PLEASURE IN HIM; for He said, ‘I am the Son of God.‘”
Luk 22:70, “And they all said, “So You are the Son of God?” And He said to them, “You say correctly that I AM.”
Jhn 3:18, “The one who believes in Him is not judged; the one who does not believe has been JUDGED already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.”
Jhn 5:25,“Truly, truly, I say to you, the time is coming and even now has arrived, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.”
Jhn 8:23-24, “And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I AM from above; you are of this world, I AM not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
Jhn 8:56-58, “Your father Abraham was overjoyed that he would see My day, and he saw it and rejoiced.” So the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and You have seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I AM.”
Jhn 10:36, “are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God‘?”
Jhn 10:37-38, “If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
Note: The divinity of Jesus Christ does not depend on the opinions of any man. Jesus is who He is from eternity to eternity. The Father is in the Son, and the Son is in the Father.
7. Jesus’ declarations.
Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Jhn 10:27-30, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are ONE.”
Jesus and the Father are ONE. No one can explain it. I do not need to wonder or yield to the opinions of anyone. I do not even know myself fully. How can I know my God fully? I believe whatever Jesus says is true with all my heart and mind.
Jhn 14:7-13, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been
with you for so long a time, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The Words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise
believe because of the works themselves. Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works
than these he will do; because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.”
Mat 28:18, “And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me.”
Jhn 8:12, “Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “I AM the Light of the world; the one who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”
Jhn 10:7-10, “So Jesus said to them again, “Truly, truly I say to you, I AM the Door of the Sheep. All those who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I AM the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it
abundantly.”
Jhn 10:14-15,“I AM the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me, just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.”
The relationship of a Christian to Jesus Christ is like the relationship of a sheep to the Good Shepherd.
Jhn 15:1-8, “I AM the True Vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
“You are already clean because of the Word which I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself but must remain in the vine, so neither can you unless you remain in Me. I AM the Vine, you are the branches; the one who remains in Me, and I in him bears much
fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone
does not remain in Me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
If you remain in Me, and My Words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
My Father is glorified by this, that you bear much
fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.”
The relationship of Jesus Christ and His disciples is like the Vine and the Branches. Jesus is the Vine, disciples are the Branches.
7. The testimony of John the Baptist.
Jhn 1:19-34, “This is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
And he confessed and did not deny; and this is what he confessed: “I am not the Christ.”
And so they asked him, “What then? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And he answered, “No.”
Then they said to him, “Who are you? Tell us, so
that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
He said, “I am THE VOICE OF ONE CALLING OUT IN THE WILDERNESS, ‘MAKE THE WAY OF THE LORD STRAIGHT,’ as Isaiah the prophet said.”
And the messengers had been sent from the Pharisees. They asked him, and said to him, “Why then are you baptizing, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” John answered them, saying, “I baptize in water, but among you stands
One whom you do not know. “It is He who comes
after me, of whom I am not worthy even to untie the strap of His sandal.” These things took place in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing people.
The next day he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
“This is He in behalf of whom I said, ‘After me is coming a Man who has proved to be my superior, because He existed before me.’ And I did not recognize Him, but so that He would be revealed to Israel, I came baptizing in water.” And John testified, saying, “I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of Heaven, and He remained upon Him.
And I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, ‘He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.’ “And I myself have seen, and have testified that this is the Son of God.”
John the Baptist had seen and testified that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
8. Jesus has done all things well.
Mar 7:32-37, “And they brought to Him one who was deaf and had difficulty speaking, and they begged Him to lay His hand on him. And Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put His fingers in his ears, and after spitting, He touched his tongue with the saliva; and looking up to Heaven with a deep sigh, He said to him, “Ephphatha!” that is, “Be opened!” And his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was removed, and he began speaking plainly. And He gave them orders not to tell anyone; but the more He ordered them, the more widely they continued to proclaim it. And they were utterly astonished, saying, “He has done all things well; He makes even those who are deaf hear, and those who are unable to talk, speak.”
Jesus Christ had done all things well; He can make even your earthly life well.
Luk 7:18-22, “The disciples of John also reported to him about all these things. And after summoning two
of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, “Are You the Coming One, or are we to look for another?” When the men came to Him, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, ‘Are You the Coming One, or are we to look for another?’”
At that very time He cured many people of diseases
and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind. And He answered and said to them, “Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: people who were blind receive sight, people who limped walk, people with leprosy are cleansed and people who were deaf hear, dead people are raised up, and people who are poor
have the Gospel preached to them.”
Mat 4:23-25, “Jesus was going about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. And the news about Him spread throughout Syria; and they brought to Him all who were ill, those suffering with various diseases and severe pain, demon-possessed, people with epilepsy, and people who were paralyzed; and He healed them.Large crowds followed Him from Galilee and the Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.”
It is duty of Christians to proclaim to the world what Jesus Christ has done in their lives. Let me give my humble testimony, without Jesus I would have perished. Thanks be to God who has led me from my dangerous childhood to my struggling manhood in America and to my old age.
10. No one spoke like Jesus.
Jhn 7:40-46, “Some of the people therefore, after they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is the Prophet.”
Others were saying, “This is the Christ.” But others were saying, “Surely the Christ is not coming from Galilee, is He? “Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” So a dissension occurred in the crowd
because of Him. And some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him. The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?” The
officers answered, “Never has a man spoken in this way!”
Note: Jesus Christ was not coming from Galilee. Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem. So not a few misconceived about Jesus because they were misinformed about the fact. People made mistakes because they did not know the Scripture, just as those who misconceived Jesus Vs God.
Luk 4:16-30, “And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the scroll of Isaiah the prophet was handed to Him. And He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written:
“THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO BRING GOOD NEWS TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”
And He rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down; and the eyes of all the people in the synagogue were intently directed at Him. Now He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
And all the people were speaking well of Him, and admiring the gracious Words which were coming from His lips; and yet they were saying, “Is this not Joseph’s son?”
And He said to them, “No doubt you will quote this
proverb to Me: ‘Physician, heal yourself! All the miracles that we heard were done in Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.’”
But He said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.
But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a
severe famine came over all the land; and yet Elijah
was sent to none of them, but only to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And there were many with leprosy in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” And all the people in the synagogue were filled with rage as they heard these things; and they got up and drove Him
out of the city, and brought Him to the crest of the
hill on which their city had been built, so that they could throw Him down from the cliff. But He passed through their midst and went on His way.”
Jesus could pass through any obstacle.
Mat 13:54-58, “And He came to His hometown and began teaching them in their synagogue, with the result that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man acquire this wisdom and these miraculous powers?”
“Is this not the carpenter’s son? Is His mother not called Mary, and His brothers, James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas? And His sisters, are they not all with us? Where then did this man acquire all these things?”
And they took offense at Him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not dishonored except in his hometown and in his own household.” And He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.”
Unbelief can hinder the power of God.
Mat 7:28-29, “When Jesus had finished these words, the crowds were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.”
The crowds were amazed at the teaching Christ because the teaching Christ is the teaching of God.
Mat 22:29-30, “But Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, since you do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Mankind errs most often because we do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God. People are mistaken because they do not understand the Scriptures nor the power of God.
Mar 1:21-28, “They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and began to teach. And they were amazed at His teaching; for He was teaching them as One having authority, and not as the scribes.
Just then there was a man in their synagogue with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying, “What business do you have with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are: the Holy One of God!” And Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be quiet, and come out of him!” After throwing him into convulsions and crying out
with a loud voice, the unclean spirit came out of him. And they were all amazed, so they debated among themselves, saying, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him.” Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding region of Galilee.”
There are two important things to remember.
(1). Jesus teaches with authority.
When Jesus speaks, God speaks. That is why demons and unclean spirits are afraid of Jesus to destroy them.
(2). The Gospel is new.
Jhn 1:17, “For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.”
The Law of Moses does not and cannot save anyone. That is why Jesus came into the world to save sinners.
Rom 16:25-27, “Now to Him who is able to establish
you according to my Gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages
past, but now has been disclosed, and through the Scriptures of the prophets, in accordance with the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedienc of faith; to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.”
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the revelation of the mystery which has been kept secret for long ages past, but now has been disclosed or revealed or made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith to our God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:8, “For by grace you have been saved through
faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
Faith obeys God. Faith accepts and believes in the Word of God. Salvation is the gift of God.
II. God’s testimonies or declarations.
Jesus does not need the testimony of Josephus, etc. because He has the testimonies of God. The testimonies and declarations of God are more important and worthwhile than all opinions of men.
A. During the Baptism of Jesus.
Mat 3:13-17, “Then Jesus arrived from Galilee at the Jordan, coming to John to be baptized by him. But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I have the need to be baptized by You, and yet You are coming
to me?” But Jesus, answering, said to him, “Allow it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he allowed Him.
After He was baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the Heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and settling on Him, and behold, a Voice
from the Heavens said, “This is My beloved Son, with whom I AM well pleased.”
The Heavens were opened and a Voice from the Heavens testified about the beloved Son of God.
Luk 3:22, “and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came from Heaven: “You are My beloved Son, in You I AM well pleased.”
B. During the Transfiguration
Mat 17:1-7, “Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James, and his brother John, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Peter responded and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If You want, I will make three tabernacles here: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice from the cloud said,
“This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to Him!” When the disciples heard this, they fell face down to the ground and were terrified. And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, “Get up, and do not be afraid.” And raising their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus Himself alone.”
Mar 9:7, “Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: “This is My beloved Son; listen to Him!”
2Pe 1:16-19, “For we did not follow cleverly devised
tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such a
declaration as this was made to Him by theMajestic Glory: “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well pleased”—and we ourselves heard this
declaration made from Heaven when we were with Him on the Holy Mountain. And so we have the
Prophetic Word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a Lamp shining in a dark place, until the Day dawns and the Morning
Star arises in your hearts.”
Jesus is the Light of the world, like a Lamp shining in a dark place. Jesus Christ is also the Morning Star, may the Day dawns and the Morning Star arises in my heart.
Mat 13:38-40, “and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one.
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. So just as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the world.”
The world is comprised of two kinds of people: the sons of the Kingdom (children of God) and the sons of the evil (children of the devil). The enemy who sowed the weeds is the devil. At the end of the world the angels will separate the good from the bad. The wicked will be burned with fire in Hell body and soul forever and ever. When Jesus comes again is the end of the world.
Jhn 8:40-47, “But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do. You are doing the deeds of your father.” They said to Him, “We were not born as a result of sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I came forth from God and am here; for I have not even come on My own, but He sent Me. Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot listen to My Word. You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer
From the beginning, and does not stand in the truth
because there is no truth in him. Whenever he tells a lie, he speaks from his own nature, because he is a liar and the father of lies. But because I say the truth, you do not believe Me.
Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me? The one who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.”
There are people who would not believe the truth. This bothers me a lot when I was young, but now I know they are not of God, and so they do not believe in truth.
The person who said that the devil is more interesting than God must be from the devil. How can the desires to lie and kill are interesting? How can a liar and the father of lies, who does not stand in the truth, and who has no truth in him be interesting? How can one by his own nature is a liar and a murderer from the beginning be interesting to anyone? People who reject the truth, who reject the Word of God used to puzzle me. Well, Jesus has the answer: The one who is of God hears the Words of God; for this reason you do not hear them, because you are not of God.
Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil:
Mat 13:36-43, “Then He left the crowds and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
And He said, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man, and the field is the world; and as for the good seed, these are the sons of the Kingdom; and the weeds are the sons of the evil one;
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are angels. “So just as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the world.
The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His Kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
“Then THE RIGHTEOUS WILL SHINE FORTH LIKE
THE SUN in the Kingdom of their Father. The one who has ears, let him hear.”
It is more appropriate to ask: Satan Vs God, or Devil Vs God. Versus means against. It is impossible that Jesus is against God.
IV. JESUS IS GOD AND SAVIOR
Col 2:2-3, “that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and that they would attain to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God’s mystery, that is, Christ
Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
Here the Holy Scripture says clearly that Christ is God’s mystery. I confess I do not have all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. But I believe in the World of God with all my heart and mind.
1Ti 3:16, Beyond question, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.”
Jesus Christ is God’s mystery, great is the mystery of godliness. Jesus Christ is God who manifested in the flesh. No human mind can fully understand mystery, much less this great mystery. Although I have not seen Him and do not see Him now, yet I believe in Jesus Christ in my heart and soul.
Jhn 10:29-42, “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
“I and the Father are ONE.”
The Jews picked up stones again to stone Him.
Jesus replied to them, “I showed you many good
works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?” The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”
Jesus answered them, “Has it not been written in your Law: ‘I SAID, YOU ARE GODS’?
“If he called them gods, to whom the Word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be nullified),
are you saying of Him whom the Father sanctified
and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?
“If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.”
Therefore they were seeking again to arrest Him, and He eluded their grasp. And He went away again
beyond the Jordan to the place where John was first baptizing, and He stayed there.
Many came to Him and were saying, “While John
performed no miracle, yet everything John said
about this Man was true. And many believed in Him there.”
First of all, the greatest theologian and the greatest Bible scholar cannot fully understand the Scriptures cited above. Godly mysteries are the greatest mysteries beyond human understanding.
2. It is wrong to presume the natural man can fully understand the Divine. Just as no mankind can fully understand a mystery.
3. God is Spirit, I accept and believe Him. Spirit is beyond science and philosophy. It is totally ignorant and stupid to assume mankind is capable to fully understand the spiritual and supernatural things.
Even Apostle Paul who had been to the third Heaven and had direct revelation from Jesus Christ says in the Scriptures,1Co 13:9-12, ‘For we know in part and prophesy in part; but when the Perfect comes, the partial will be done away with. When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason
like a child; when I became a man, I did away with
childish things. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.”
I hold those who raised the question are really children. I could not and do not know myself fully, how can I know my God fully. It is wise to be contended with partial knowledge. Only Jesus Christ is the Perfect ONE; we must do away with childish things. It is not anti-intellectual to admit our ignorance and our knowledge in this world is partial.
4. Jesus and God are ONE. This is too deep and profound for me to understand. But at least it means
that “God is in Jesus, and Jesus is in the Father.” This truth is too wonderful for me, I cannot fully understand it.“ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is too high, I cannot comprehend it.”
There is nothing wrong with the truth, there is something wrong with my understanding. “Therefore I have declared that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I do not know.”
Jhn 14:7-31, “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you for so long a time, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? The one who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? “Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own, but the Father, as He remains in Me, does His works. “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise
believe because of the works themselves.
“Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater
works than these he will do; because I am going to the Father. And whatever you ask in My name, this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.
If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, so that He may be with you forever; the Helper is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot
receive, because it does not see Him or know Him; but you know Him because He remains with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you. After a little while, the world no
longer is going to see Me, but you are going to see Me; because I live, you also will live.
“On that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you are in Me, and I in you. The one who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and the one who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will reveal Myself to him.”
Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, what has happened that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?” Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will follow My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him. “The one who does not love Me does not follow My Words; and the Word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.
“These things I have spoken to you while remaining with you.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and remind you of all that I said to you.
Peace I leave you, My peace I give you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, nor fearful.
You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away, and I am coming to you.’ If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. And now I have told you before it happens, so that when it happens, you may believe.
I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in regard to Me, but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let’s go from here.”
1. The Scriptures cited are things too wonderful for me to understand fully, but I truly believe with all heart that everything Jesus says is true.
2. I am no Philip. There are people today who think they are better than Philip. I only admit my ignorance.
3. Jesus says, “The one who has seen Me has seen the Father.” I am not like the early Apostles and disciples like Philip who had the privilege of seeing Jesus Christ with their own eyes personally.
The one who has seen Jesus has seen God. This truth is also too wonderful for me to understand, but I believe everything Jesus says is true. God is Spirit who is invisible. The one who has seen Jesus has seen God.
4. Jesus says, Mat 13:16-17, “But blessed are your eyes, because they see; and your ears, because they hear. For truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.”
Blessed were the eyes of Apostles and early disciples because they see; and their ears, because they heard that many prophets and righteous people longed to see what they saw, and did not see it, and to hear what Apostles and disciples heard, and did not hear it.
5. Peter, James and John were eyewitnesses of the majesty of Jesus Christ with power of His second coming on the Holy Mountain, in addition to daily seeing the appearance of Jesus.
devised tales when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty. For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such a declaration as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory: “This is My beloved Son with whom I am well pleased”— and we ourselves heard
this declaration made from Heaven when we were with Him on the Holy Mountain. And so we have the Prophetic Word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a Lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the Morning Star arises in your hearts.”
The Prophetic Word is like a Lamp shining in a dark place, and Jesus Christ dawns and arises in my heart is the Morning Star.
Jhn 10:33, “The Jews answered Him, “We are not stoning You for a good work, but for blasphemy; and because You, being a man, make Yourself out to be God.”
with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,
but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished
and spotless, the blood of Christ. For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you who through Him are believers in God, who raised
Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.”
Jesus Christ was completely righteous and sinless, the Son of God, the Savior of mankind who offered Himself as a sacrifice for sinners the ungodly, including His enemies, and who gave Himself as a ransom for allso that our faith would not rest on the wisdom of mankind, but on the grace and power of God.
1Co 10:6-12, “Now these things happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they indeed craved them. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND TO DRINK, AND ROSE UP TO PLAY.” Nor are we to commit sexual immorality, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day. Nor are we to put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and were killed by the snakes. Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were killed by the destroyer. Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. Therefore let the one who thinks he stands watch out that he does not fall.”
Jesus Christ in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. God manifested in the flesh as Jesus Christ.
Col 1:22-27, “yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond
reproach–if indeed you continue in the faith firmly
established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under Heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister. Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the Church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions. Of this Church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the Word of God, that is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
Jesus Christ is our God and Savior that worse of sinners may come to Him, and no one needs to be in despair because He says, Jhn 6:37, “Everything that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I certainly will not cast out.”
Do you know Jesus Christ will not kick out the poorest, vilest, and the most wicked sinners if only you will come to Him as you are. Jesus Christ will never reject anyone who comes to Him.
The work of salvation is supernatural and can be done only by the Savior who is Christ the Lord. Jesus Christ is able to save the worst of sinners to the end.
Apparently no one outside the Bible knows more about the righteousness of God than Martin Luther who said,
righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, but it is the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus
Christ for all those who believe; for there is no
distinction, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in God’s merciful restraint He let the sins previously committed go unpunished; for the demonstration, that is, of His righteousness
at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.”
The one thing that unconditionally links sinners to the righteousness of God is faith in Jesus Christ.
George Whitefield preached the Gospel truth in saying,
Mar 14:72, “And immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, “Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.” And he hurried on and began to weep.”
Luk 5:8, “When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord.”
When Peter saw what Jesus did, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, realizing he was a sinful man.
When anyone comes to contact with Jesus, he will realize he is a sinful man.
Apostle Paul said, Phl 3:7-8, “But whatever things
were gain to me, these things I have counted as loss because of Christ. More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value
of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them mere rubbish, so that I may gain Christ.”
No one has known Jesus Christ too much, we often come short of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. Clearly, the more you suffer for the Lord, the more you know Him.
I agree with Johann Wolfgang von Goether who said,
To believe in Christianity is not to believe in a formula. Christianity is the person of Jesus Christ. Christianity is to have personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Jesus and God are ONE. I bow and worship Jesus.
No, Jesus Christ did not die like God. For God cannot die. Jesus Christ died like the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
Mat 2:11, “And they came into the house and saw the young child with Mary his mother; and they fell down and worshipped Him; and opening their treasures they offered unto Him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh.”
The wise men from the East worshipped Jesus and offered to Him gifts. You can come to worship Jesus without offering any gifts, but with all your heart.
2. A leper worshipped Jesus and be cleansed.
Mat 8:2-3, “And a man with leprosy came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus reached out with His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.”
3. A synagogue official worshipped Jesus and his daughter became alive again.
Mat 9:18, “While He was saying these things to them, behold, a synagogue official came and bowed down
before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will become
alive again.”
Mat 9:25, “But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got
up.”
4. The disciples saw Jesus walking on the sea and worshipped Him.
the disciples to get into the boat and to go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.
After He had sent the crowds away, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray; and when it was evening, He was there alone. But the boat was already a long distance from the land, battered by the waves; for the wind was contrary. And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea. When the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid.”
Peter responded and said to Him, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat
and walked on the water, and came toward Jesus.
But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and when he began to sink, he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out with His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” When they got into the boat, the wind stopped. And those who were in the boat worshiped Him, saying, “You are truly God’s Son!”
It must be God’s Son, even the wind and wave obeyed Him who walked on the sea.
5. A Canaanite woman whose daughter severely demon-possessed worshipped Jesus and her daughter was healed at once.
Mat 15:22-28, “And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, “Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
But He did not answer her with even a word. And His disciples came up and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us!”
But He answered and said, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.”
But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
Yet He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.”
And she said, “Yes, Lord; but please help, for even the dogs feed on the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.” Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, your faith is great; it shall be done for you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed at once.”
6. The holy women when Jesus was risen from the dead worshipped Him.
Mat 28:1-9, “Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the tomb. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from Heaven and came and rolled away the stone, and sat upon it.
And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook from fear of him and became like dead men. And the
angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He has rise from the dead; and behold, He is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see Him; behold, I have told you.” And they left the tomb quickly with fear
and great joy, and ran to report to His disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Rejoice!” And they came up and took hold of His feet, and worshiped Him.”
The right position of disciples is at the feet of Jesus.
7. During the Great Commission the eleven disciples saw and worshipped Jesus.
Mat 28:16-20, “But the eleven disciples proceeded to Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had designated to them. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful. And Jesus came up
and spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to follow all that I commanded you; and behold, I AM with you always, to the end of the world.”
The end of the world is near, and Jesus is coming again soon.
8. An unclean spirit from the tombs worshipped Jesus.
Mar 5:2-6, “When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him. He lived among the tombs; and no one was able to bind him anymore, not even with a chain, because he had often been bound with shackles and chains, and the chains had been torn apart by him and the shackles broken in pieces; and no one was strong enough to subdue him.
Constantly, night and day, he was screaming among
the tombs and in the mountains, and cutting himself
with stones. Seeing Jesus from a distance, he ran up and bowed down before Him.”
9. During the Ascension the disciples worshipped Jesus.
Luk 24:50-53, “And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them.
While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into Heaven. And they, after worshiping Him, returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising God.”
10. The man born blind was cured and he worshipped Jesus.
Jhn 9:1-38, “As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who had been blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he would be born blind?” Jesus answered, “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents; but it was so that the works of God might be displayed in him. “We must carry out the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. “While I am in the world, I AM the Light of the world.” When He had said this, He spit on the ground, and made mud from the saliva, and applied the mud to his eyes, and said to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which is translated, Sent). So he left and washed, and came back seeing.
So the neighbors, and those who previously saw him as a beggar, were saying, “Is this not the one who used to sit and beg?” Others were saying, “This is he,” still others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” The man himself kept saying, “I am the one.” So they were saying to him, “How then were your eyes opened?” He answered, “The Man who is called Jesus made mud, and spread it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to Siloam and wash’; so I went away and washed, and I received sight.” And they said to him, “Where is He?” He said, “I do not know.” They brought the man who was previously blind to the Pharisees. Now it was a Sabbath on the day that Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes. Then the Pharisees also were asking him again how he received his sight. And he said to them, “He applied mud to my eyes, and I washed, and I see.” Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, “This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a man who is a sinner perform such miracles?” And there was dissension among them. So they said again to the man who was blind, “What do you say about Him, since He opened your eyes?” And he said, “He is a prophet.” The Jews then did not believe it about him, that he had been blind and had received sight, until they called the parents of the very one who had received his sight, and they questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?” His parents then answered and said, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind; but how he now sees, we do not know; or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him; he is of age, he will speak for himself.” His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already reached the decision that if anyone confessed Him to be Christ, he was to be excommunicated from the synagogue. It was for this reason that his parents said, “He is of age; ask him.” So for a second time they summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him, “Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner.” He then answered, “Whether He is a sinner, I do not know; one thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see.” So they said to him, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?” He answered them, “I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?” They spoke abusively to him and said, “You are His disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
“We know that God has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where He is from.”
The man answered and said to them, “Well, here is the amazing thing, that you do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes! “We know that God does not listen to sinners; but if someone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.
Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. If this man were not from God, He could do
nothing.” They answered him, “You were born entirely in sins, and yet you are teaching us?” So they put him out. Jesus heard that they had put him out, and upon finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered by saying, “And who is He, Sir, that I may believe in Him?” Jesus said to him, “You have both seen Him, and He is the one who is talking with you.” And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped Him.”
It is my hope you do not assume mud with saliva can cure a man born blind. It is my hope like the man born blind, you will worship Jesus, too.
into the world, He says, “AND LET ALL THE ANGELS OF GOD WORSHIP HIM.”
All the angels obey and worship Jesus Christ.
12. The four living creatures worship Jesus.
Rev 4:8-11, “And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say,
“HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD GOD, THE ALMIGHTY,
who was and who is and who is to come.”
And when the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, to Him who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders will fall down before Him who sits on the throne, and they will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
“Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and because of Your will they existed, and were created.”
Western leaders are in mortal danger because they seek glory and honor and power in the world. Only the Lord Jesus is worthy to receive glory and honor and power.
“And He said, “Do not stretch out your hand against
the boy, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one, from Me.”
NOTE:
If I meet Abraham, I shall salute him. If I meet Moses, I shall salute him. If I meet Elijah, I shall salute him. If I meet Daniel, I shall salute him too. If I meet Ruth, I shall kiss her hand.
If I meet John the Baptist, I shall shake his hand. If I meet Apostle Paul, I shall shake his hand. If I meet Apostle John, I shall shake his hand. If I meet Stephen, I shall shake his hand too. If I meet Mary of Bethany, I shall kiss her hand. If I meet Mary Magdalene, I shall kiss her hand.
Come and think about it, it is worthy and worthwhile for me to shake hands with everyone in the Kingdom of God. The people I want to salute or shake hands are too many to list them.
I want especially to meet the archangels Gabriel and Michael. In fact I shall be glad to meet all angels.
If I meet Martin Luther, I shall shake his hand. If I meet John Bunyan, I shall shake his hand, too.
Whenever and wherever, I see Jesus Christ, my God and Savior, I shall bow down, kneel down, and worship my Lord.
I do not know who John Stott was, but I agree with what he said, “Nobody can call himself a Christian who does not worship Jesus.”
I want everyone to know that I worship Jesus Christ my God and Savior.
VI. FOLLOWING JESUS
Someone was so mixed up in saying, until one deliberately signing away one’s own right and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ, one will not begin to be a saint.
In fact, no matter what you do, a sinner cannot begin to be a saint.
To be a saint you first of all,
Jhn 10:27-28, “My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand.”
To be a saint you need first to become a Christian.
Act 26:18, “to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been
sanctified by faith in Me.”
1Co 1:2, “To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus,
saints by calling, with all who in every place call on
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours.”
Once you have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, now you are saints, not until you are dead. There are living saints right now in the world.
1Co 6:11, “Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.”
TO DO YOUR WILL.” He takes away the first in order
to establish the second. By this will, we have been
sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus
Christ once for all time.”
By offering the body of Jesus Christ, believers are sanctified through the precious blood of Jesus and made saints once for all time.
Heb 10:14-18, “For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
And the Holy Spirit also testifies to us; for after
saying, “THIS IS THE COVENANT WHICH I WILL MAKE WITH THEM AFTER THOSE DAYS, DECLARES
THE LORD: I WILL PUT MY LAWS UPON THEIR HEARTS, AND WRITE THEM ON THEIR MIND, AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL NO LONGER
REMEMBER.” Now where there is forgiveness of these things, an offering for sin is no longer required.”
1Pe 1:2, “according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.”
It is the work of the Holy Spirit to sanctify all believers who obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood,
Following Jesus means obeying Jesus.
1Ti 4:4-7, “For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with gratitude; for it is sanctified by means of the Word of God and prayer. In pointing out these things to the brothers and sisters, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, constantly nourished on the Words of the faith and of the good doctrine which you have been following. But stay away from worthless
stories that are typical of old women. Rather,
discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness.”
Following Jesus is fulfilling discipleship.
Jesus says of the requirements of being disciples:
more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. The one who has found his life will lose it, and the one who has lost his life on My account will find it.”
To be a disciple of Jesus you must love Jesus above all and take up your cross and follow Jesus.
“If anyone loves Me, he will follow My Word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our dwelling with him.”
Luk 9:62, “But Jesus said to him, “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God.”
To follow Jesus there is no looking back.
Rom 8:18, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with
the glory that is to be revealed to us.”
I think no one had suffered more for Jesus Christ than Apostle Paul. Paul said the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
worthy), wandering in deserts, on mountains, and sheltering in caves and holes in the ground.”
In history, many suffering saints of whom the world was not worthy, wandering in deserts, on mountain, and sheltering in caves and holes in the ground.
It was David Livingston who said, “All that I am I owe to Jesus Christ, revealed to me in His divine Book.”
Without Jesus Christ I am nothing, without God and without hope. Jesus Christ is everything to me.
No, the Bible does not account for the supremacy of England. The British empire was built by brutal force, military power, killing and robbing of its vast colonies. There is no denying that the King James Bible had a great influence on England. But in the last 500 hundred years or more England had discredited Christianity and dishonored the Lord Jesus. The infamous Opium Wars were one of the historical evidence. England should lead in returning all the national treasures looted and robbed from China and starts paying compensations and reparations to its former victims. By the way UK should inform its former colony India that the British empire wanted to make its colony India look bigger by taking large areas of China incorporated into the Indian Map. This will put an end to India-China border conflict. Europe and America have practiced a false version of Christianity for a long time. Europe and America must repent or perish.
I do not know who Richard Stearns was, but I agree with what he said: “If I have learned anything about the purpose, meaning, and significance of life over the years, I have learned that, for a Christian, it is not found in any job, even a job like mine. It is not found in any human relationship, no matter how important. Nor is it found in any accomplishment, no matter how significant. Meaning, purpose, and significance are found only by aligning our lives with God’s purposes in lives committed to following Jesus Christ.”
Absolutely false! Black culture does not make a Black Jesus. White culture does not make a White Jesus. Yellow culture does not make a Yellow Jesus. Red culture does not make a Red Jesus. Jesus is not what you make out of Him; Jesus is always what He is. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, our God and Savior.
Mar 9:8, “And suddenly they looked around and saw no one with them anymore, except Jesus alone.
Mar 10:18, “But Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.”
Jhn 14:6, “Jesus said to him, “I AM the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father
“No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, because all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.”
Jhn 15:20, “Remember the Word that I said to you, ‘A slave is not greater than his master.‘ If they persecuted Me, they will persecute you as well; if they followed My word, they will follow yours also.”
2Ti 2:21, “Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be an implement for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.”
Not a few people become Christians because of the benefits to them, true Christians are sanctified and useful to the Master.
In following Jesus Christ, ask yourself a question, Am I useful to the Master?
No one becomes a Christian because he/she joins or belongs to a church. Just like many Americans think they are Christians because they are white.
What is the Church? The body of Christ.
Eph 3:6, “to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the Body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel.”
Jesus says, Jhn 10:14-16, “I AM the Good Shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me,
just as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep. And I have other
sheep that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will listen to My voice; and they will become
one flock, with one Shepherd.”
Jewish and Gentile Christians will become one flock, with Jesus Christ being the Great Shepherd.
Jhn 10:25-30, “Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father’s name, these testify of Me. But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep.My sheep listen to My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give them eternal life, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father’s hand. I and the Father are ONE.”
Something is wrong with the church if it becomes popular. Something is wrong with the preacher if he becomes popular. Something is wrong with a Christian who is popular in the world.
IN CONCLUSION
You have learned to say or question Jesus Vs God is all wrong. Jesus Christ is never against God. It is the devil or Satan who is against God. Jesus Christ is the Son of God whom the Father sent down from Heaven to come to the world to save sinners. Jesus died for the ungodly, Jesus died on the cross for you and me, a redemption by His blood so that all who have faith in Him might have the forgiveness of sins, and to receive the eternal life and inherit the Kingdom of God.
This is the day of salvation, do not miss the opportunity. You can repent of your sins and now believe in Jesus Christ as your God and Savior. Tomorrow may be too late, you can do it now.
COME NOW AND ACCEPT THE SAVIOR.
To receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior is to receive the eternal life.

Psa 31:17, “Let me not be put to shame, LORD, for I call upon You; Let the wicked be put to shame, let them be silent in Sheol.”
Shame in Hebrew is bûšwhich means to be ashamed; to be confounded; to be disappointed; to feel shame; to cause shame; to fail in hope and expectation; to disgrace; to blush; — which occurs 114 times.
Sheol is Hebrew is šᵊ’ôlwhich means grave; the underworld; place of no return; the OT designation for the abode of the dead (Strong’s Concordance); the world of the dead; the pit; — which occurs 66 times in the Old Testament.
“shame” occurs 138 times in128verses in the NASB20. Page 1 / 3exact matches(Num 12:14–Isa 45:16)
This is my definition: Shame is a bad feeling after a wrongdoing. People who have good feeling after a wrongdoing is not only wicked, they are demons. The righteous pray to God not to be put to shame, and let the wicked be put to shame.
Are you wondering whether you might be experiencing shame? Below is a list of self-defeating shame reactions according to psychiatrist Peter Breggin in his book Guilt, Shame, and Anxiety.2
· Feeling sensitive or being worried about what others think of you
· Feeling unappreciated, used, or like others take advantage of you
· Feeling rejected, regretful, inadequate, or like you have little impact
· Uncontrollable blushing, or being afraid to look inappropriate or stupid
· Worrying that you aren’t treated with respect, or wanting to have the last word
· Feeling that you can’t be your true self, losing your identity, or not sharing your thoughts or feelings because you are afraid to be embarrassed
· Being more worried about failure than doing something immoral or dishonorable, being a perfectionist
· Feeling like an outsider, that you are different or left out, or feeling suspicious and like you can’t trust others
· Being a wallflower or shrinking violet, wanting to shut people out or withdraw, trying to hide or be inconspicuous, or not wanting to be the center of attention
Even little children understand and feel shame. It is a consequence of acculturation. Among some cultures, even infants begin to learn shame. By acculturation, we accept the definition of Merriam Webster: the process by which a human being acquires the culture of a particular society from infancy.
Shame (Noun, and Verb) – Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
signifies (a) shame, disgrace,” Romans 1:26, “vile (passions),” RV, lit., “(passions) of shame;” 1 Corinthians 11:14; (b) “dishonor,” e.g. 2 Timothy 2:20, where the idea of disgrace of “shame” does not attach to the use of the word; the meaning is that while in a great house some vessels are designed for purposes of honor, others have no particular honor (time) attached to their use (the prefix a simply negatives the idea of honor). See DISHONOR. [ A-2,Noun,G152, aischune ] See ASHAMED, B, No. 1. [ A-3,Noun,G1791, entrope ] 1 Corinthians 6:5; 1 Corinthians 15:34. See ASHAMED, B, No. 2. [ A-4,Noun,G808, aschemosune ] denotes (a) “unseemliness,” Romans 1:27, RV (AV, “that which is unseemly”); (b) “shame, nakedness,” Revelation 16:15, a euphemism for No. 2. [ B-1,Adjective,G150, aischros ] “base, shameful” (akin to aischos, “shame”), of that which is opposed to modesty or purity, is translated as a noun in 1 Corinthians 11:6; 1 Corinthians 14:35, AV (RV, “shameful”); Ephesians 5:12; in Titus 1:11, “filthy (lucre),” lit., “shameful (gain).” See FILTHY. [ C-1,Verb,G818, atimazo ] “to dishonor, put to shame” (akin to A, No. 1): See DISHONOR, C, No. 1. [ C-2,Verb,G1788, entrepo ] lit., “to turn in upon, to put to shame” (akin to A, No. 3), is translated “to shame (you)” in 1 Corinthians 4:14. See ASHAMED, A, No. 4. [ C-3,Verb,G2617, kataischuno ] “to put to shame” (kata, perhaps signifying “utterly”), is translated “ye … shame (them)” in 1 Corinthians 11:22, AV, RV, “ye … put (them) to shame.” See ASHAMED, A, No. 3. [ C-4,Verb,G3856, paradeigmatizo ] signifies “to set forth as an example” (para, “beside,” deiknumi, “to show”), and is used in Hebrews 6:6 of those Jews, who, though attracted to, and closely associated with, the Christian faith, without having experienced more than a tasting of the heavenly gift and partaking of the Holy Ghost (not actually receiving Him), were tempted to apostatize to Judaism, and, thereby crucifying the Son of God a second time, would “put Him to an open shame.” So were criminals exposed. In the Sept., Numbers 25:4; Jeremiah 13:22; Ezekiel 28:17.”
When people say to you, Shame on you! It has a powerful effect whether the statement is reasonable or not.
In any civilization, language reflects its culture. In the Chinese language, if you are accused of being shameless, or without shame — your degradation must reach the bottom! Shame is not an unhappy emotion invented by pietists.
I say, if you are right, you do not have reason to be angry. If you are wrong, anger cannot right you. Although shame is the most powerful emotion, there are people saying and doing what is wrong without shame. Western leaders and politicians should be ashamed for sending money, weapons, ammunitions, etc. to prolong the war in Ukraine, yet they don’t have shame!!! I think Western leaders and politicians have lost their sense of shame!!!
Among the most shameless nations is Japan. Japan committed the war crime of killing 35 million Chinese, making millions of slave labors, created hundreds of thousands of sex slaves they shamelessly called “comfort women” and Japan has never paid one penny of war reparations and compensations. On top of it, with approval of America, Japan has dumped nuclear contaminated waters into the Pacific to harm the world.
When I worked my way through college in America I never felt shame because of my poverty. I did realize how hard poverty was. I got up at 5 a.m. and went to bed at 11 p.m. for many years. It is said, Necessity is the mother of invention. I invented a way of refill my yellow highlighter. I invented to use the throw-away computer printouts the back side at notebooks. I invented to cook a delicious meal in five minutes. I invented to cut my own hair. I earned a minimum wage of $1.25. I was so poor that I turned down an offer from the university to go on for my Ph.D and they would take care of everything that I did not even have to apply.
There are people who compare Bill Clinton with Richard Nixon. I was never ashamed of the blunder of Richard Nixon, and I strongly support the pursuit of President Nixon for a just and lasting world peace. The infamous and shameless behavior of Bill Clinton is without redeeming. Bill Clinton had done shameful things “not proper to mention.” The shameful deeds of Bill Clinton were the fruitless deeds of darkness, it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient did in secret.
Eph 5:11-12, “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”
Jde 1:13, “wild waves of the sea, churning up their own shameful deeds like dirty foam; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of darkness has been reserved forever.”
Western civilization built on selfish principles, in conquering other nations and peoples, is shame and guilt. Have you ever wondered why there has never been a good empire?
I was never ashamed of the blunder of Richard Nixon, I regret for what could have been. I strongly support the pursuit of President Nixon for a just and lasting peace for the world. I am ashamed of the conduct of Bill Clinton and Donald Trump which are wicked and infamous.
Jesus says, Mat 15:18-19, “But the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and those things defile the person. For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, acts of adultery, other immoral
sexual acts, thefts, false testimonies, and slanderous statements.”
The Bible says, 1Ti 6:17-18, “Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to set their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share.”
The West would have no problems, had they obeyed the Scriptures cited above. The irony is the West does not follow the Bible, China is the only nation doing good to other nations.
Max Keiser may not be right about bitcoin, he is surely right that American banks and the Wall Street are not acting in the interests of American population at large. I have news for you, the American two parties, the US Congress, American leaders and politicians are also not acting in American national interests. You wonder why our country is in big troubles? American democracy is phony, capitalism is real.
During World War II, Imperial Japan conquered large parts of Asia and the surrounding Pacific Islands. During that time, the Japanese army was responsible for the death of millions of civilians and prisoners of war. They experimented on, tortured, starved, and enslaved many of the people they conquered. Estimates range from 3 to 14 million people in total.”
N.B. They neglected to say Japan killed 35 million Chinese during 14 years of the war of aggression, made millions of slave labors, and created hundreds of thousands of sex slaves they conveniently called “comfort women.” And Japan never pays one penny for its war crimes.
The atrocities committed by the Japanese military during WWII are so brutal that it is almost impossible to comprehend them. In some ways, it may be better to forget this terrible history, yet to do so would dishonor those who suffered and perished. A look at the worst of Japan’s crimes in WW2 also helps us understand today’s world a little better, especially the animosity Korea and China still have for Japan. Moreover, it is important that we learn and remember the horrible crimes in our recent history so that we can make sure they never happen again.
WARNING: This list contains extremely disturbing content.
The scale and savagery of the Rape of Nanking defy explanation. All one can do is recite the facts. In 1937, at the beginning of the Sino-Japanese War – the conflict between Japan and China that would eventually become the Pacific branch of WWII – the Japanese invaded Nanking, the capital city of Nationalist China. The atrocities began in late 1937 and ended in early 1938. As many as 300,000 Chinese civilian lives were lost, and as many as 80,000 Chinese women were subjected to forced relations with soldiers.
It was the first of many similar massacres, though none took place on the same scale as that at Nanking.
Over the course of the Sino-Japanese conflict and WWII, the Japanese army forced as many as 200,000 women into prostitution. Called “comfort women,” these predominantly Korean women were sent throughout East Asia to work in brothels catering to the Japanese military. The brothels operated long hours and women were rarely granted time off, meaning they endured forced relations repeatedly every day for years.
In 2015, the prime minister of Japan officially apologized for the practice and agreed to pay a sum of 1 billion yen, or about $9 million, to the 46 surviving comfort women.
During their occupation of Southeast Asian territories, the Japanese decided to build a railroad connecting Thailand and Burma. The railroad would run through incredibly dense jungle, and was to be built largely by hand, without assistance from large industrial tools.
The Japanese gathered 60,000 POWs and 200,000 enslaved local laborers and forced them to work day and night through monsoons and sweltering heat. Laborers were given nothing but rice to eat, and those who were injured were left to perish. Dangers included dengue fever, cholera, tropical ulcers, and an extreme vitamin B deficiency that led to paralysis.
Unit 731 was a top-secret Japanese military unit responsible for medical and chemical weapons research that defies belief. Among other things, the unit field-tested so-called “plague bombs” by dropping disease-infected devices over cities to see whether they would cause outbreaks. They did, and as many as 3,000 Chinese civilians (if not more) perished from these diseases.
At Japan’s notorious base in Pingfang, China, doctors put people in pressure chambers to see how much pressure the human body could withstand before exploding. They also infected civilians with diseases and then dissected them to examine the effects of the disease. Other atrocities include leaving POWs outside to freeze until they perished in order to investigate potential cures for frostbite, and amputating subjects’ limbs to learn about blood loss.
On the way to Nanking, two Japanese army officers entered into a friendly competition with one another: Who would be the first to slay 100 people with a saber during the conflict? The bloodshed began on the road, as the Japanese army advanced to Nanking, and continued through the destruction of the city.
The contest was covered by a Japanese newspaper – here’s a translation of one particularly chilling paragraph: “Noda: ‘Hey, I got 105. What about you?’ Mukai: ‘I got 106!’ …Both men laughed. Because they didn’t know who had reached 100 kills first, in the end someone said, ‘Well then, since it’s a drawn game, what if we start again, this time going for 150 kills?'”
The atrocities in Baatan, Phillipines, began in 1942, when the region was surrendered to Japan. The Japanese, unprepared for the huge number of POWs, ordered all 75,000 of them to march through the jungle, a march that became known as the Bataan Death March.
Japanese soldiers, who saw surrender as a sign of weakness, beat the captives ceaselessly. Some fell behind due to lack of water, the heat of the jungle, or exhaustion. The stragglers were beheaded or simply left to perish. An estimated 2,500 Filipinos and 500 Americans perished on the march. About 26,000 more Filipinos succumbed to disease or starvation in the prison camp.
As Allied forces deserted Singapore after the Japanese took over, Japanese planes bombed the sea in an effort to sink as many fleeing transport ships as possible. One such ship was filled with 65 Australian nurses, 53 of whom managed to swim to the small, Japanese-controlled island of Bangka after their transport sunk.
Japanese soldiers rounded up as many people as they could find, including injured servicemen, Allied soldiers, and some of the nurses. The Japanese then set up a machine gun on the beach, ordered everyone to walk into the shallows, and mowed them down. Only two survived the incident.
Considered the worst military atrocity in Australia’s history, the Sandakan Death March is little known outside of that country. The incident occurred toward the end of WWII, as the Japanese were fleeing. They abandoned the Sandakan POW camp in Borneo, forcing the soldiers interned there to march through the jungle with them until they perished of starvation or disease. Any soldiers who actually made the entire trek were executed by the Japanese.
Of the 2,700 internees at the Sandakan camp, only six survived the march.
Cannibalism
Significant evidence, most notably several eyewitness accounts that corroborate one another, points to Japanese soldiers eating the flesh of their enemies during WWII. This practice apparently happened throughout Southeast Asia, and flesh was consumed both from deceased and still-living Allied soldiers.
Some accounts suggest the Japanese even executed some Allied soldiers for the sole purpose of harvesting them for food.
The Japanese took little mercy on captured airmen from Allied bomber planes.
One particularly tragic incident saw frenzied Japanese soldiers beheading Allied airmen the day Japan surrendered, and after they had heard the emperor announce Japan’s surrender.
Over the course of about two weeks in February 1942, supposedly in reprisal for the destruction of a Japanese minesweeper that ran over a Dutch mine, the Japanese executed more than 200 Dutch and Australians in the woods near the Laha Airfield on Ambon Island.
Most of the soldiers were either beheaded or ended with a bayonet, and were buried in mass graves.
In February 1942, the Japanese took Singapore. On the 14th of that month, Japanese soldiers arrived at the British-run Alexandra Hospital, entered the building, and went from room to room indiscriminately beating patients, doctors, nurses, orderlies, and the military personnel who ran the hospital.
They then took 100 men from the building, imprisoned them overnight in sweltering sheds behind the hospital, and began executing them indiscriminately the next day.
The Palawan POW camp in the Philippines was, as with all Japanese-run POW camps, a hellish place. According to survivor accounts, two American soldiers who took papaya from a tree to avoid starvation had their left arms broken with a metal pipe.
On December 14, 1944, the Japanese forced all 150 Americans in the camp into wooden buildings. They then lit the buildings on fire. Between 30 and 40 men managed to escape the burning buildings. Some tried to escape by swimming into a nearby bay and were shot. Others tried to hide among the rocks by the bay. They were mostly found and dispatched. Only 11 Americans survived that night – those who escaped the fires, the subsequent shooting, and the swim across the bay.
One survivor was bitten by a shark but still managed to complete the swim.
The Japanese occupied Nauru, a tiny equatorial island east of Papua New Guinea, from 1942 until the end of WWII. During that time, they committed a series of atrocities, including the execution of several Australian officers.
At the time, Nauru was home to a leper colony. The Japanese rounded up the lepers, put them on boats, set them out to sea, and then blew the boats up, ending everyone aboard. They then displaced around 1,200 native Nauru, moving them to another nearby island.
Many of these displaced people perished of starvation or disease before WWII ended, meaning the Japanese essentially committed the genocide of the Nauru people.
After seizing control of Singapore in February 1942, the Japanese decided to root out any Chinese in the city who might oppose Japanese rule, including military personnel, leftists, communists, and those with weapons. So began Operation Sook Ching, which is Chinese for “purge through cleansing.” In Japanese, the name was Operation Dai Kensho, or “great inspection.” The operation resulted in multiple massacres, typically by machine gun, of groups of ethnically Chinese men.
The official Japanese number for the operation was 5,000 casualties, although according to a Japanese reporter in Singapore in 1942, the number was around 50,000.
In 1945, as the Japanese hurtled toward defeat, military leaders ordered the Japanese army to leave Manila, Philippines, thus surrendering it to the Allies. Ignoring this order, the Japanese stationed in the city decided to destroy it, slaying as many civilians as possible.
They raped, bayoneted, and beheaded Filipinos until the Allies slayed every Japanese soldier in the city, a result of their refusal to surrender. As many as 100,000 Filipinos perished.
The crew of the Japanese submarine I-8 committed a pair of atrocities during WWII. First, they sunk a Dutch freighter and took the crew hostage. They beat many of them with bayonets and swords until they perished, then they lashed the survivors to the hull of the sub as it dove beneath the sea. Only six people survived. The crew of the I-8 then sank an American cargo ship, again taking more than 100 prisoners, and assaulted them with hammers and blades.
About 23 Americans survived this second attack.
The Pig Basket Massacre
When the Allies surrendered East Java to the Japanese, some soldiers escaped into the hills and formed resistance groups. The military police eventually captured the soldiers, forced them into 3-foot-long bamboo boxes made for carting pigs, and transported them in exposed trucks and rail cars through 100+ degree heat to the coast, where they were loaded onto boats.
The boats then took the soldiers out to sea and dumped them, still in the pig baskets, into shark-infested waters.
The Japanese committed countless atrocities during their occupation of the Andamans, a pair of beautiful tropical islands off the Burmese coast in the Bay of Bengal. Among them was the Port Blair Executions. Japanese soldiers tortured high-ranking Indian officers in league with Allied forces. They then buried them up to their chests and proceeded to bayonet, fire at, and bludgeon their exposed heads and shoulders until the officers perished.
Japanese officers also forced themselves on local women.
A lesser-known incident in the annals of the Pacific War, the Japanese invasion of Hong Kong began on December 18, 1941, with orders to “take no prisoners.”
Anyone found trying to defend the island, including British medical personnel, was taken to the outskirts of the city and dispatched with a bayonet.
2). “The British Empire
Source: http://www.independent.co.uk
At the height of its power in 1922, the British Empire covered a quarter of the world’s land area and governed a fifth of the world’s population. While proponents of British colonialism point to the economic benefits of their empire, many others point to the atrocities that occurred. Here’s a few: They rounded up people into concentration camps during the Second Boer War. The scant rations, disease, and overall poor conditions resulted in over 27,000 Boers dead. When dividing the lines between Pakistan and India, Britain did it by religious lines, displacing 10 million people and creating sectarian violence which reportedly was responsible for 1 million deaths. Additionally, between 12 and 29 million Indians died of starvation due to famine when Churchill ordered tons of wheat to be sent to Britain...
According to “https://listverse.com/2014/02/04/10-evil-crimes-of-the-british-empire/
At its height, the British Empire was the largest to have ever existed. Aside from covering most of the globe, it was responsible for some of the greatest advances in engineering, art, and medicine that the world will ever know. The Empire gave us steam engines, penicillin, radar, and even television.
10The Boer Concentration Camps
We all now know about the horrors of concentration camps, but during the time of Boer Wars, rounding up tens of thousands of innocent people and detaining them in camps seemed like a stroke of genius. The British needed the South African populace under control and had the means and manpower to detain them. What could possibly go wrong?
Try just about everything. Pitched under the white hot African sun and crawling with flies, the camps were overcrowded, underequipped, and lethally prone to disease outbreaks. Food supplies were virtually non-existent, and the callous guards would dock people’s meager rations for the slightest perceived offense. The result: sickness and death spread like wildfire, killing women by the thousands and children by the tens of thousands. In a single year, 10 percent of the entire Boer population died in the British camps—a figure that gets even worse when you realize it includes 22,000 children.
But the atrocity didn’t stop there. While rounding up the Boers, the British also decided to detain any black Africans they encountered, 20,000 of whom were worked to death in slave labor camps. All told, British policy in the war killed 48,000 civilians. That’s 18,000 more than the number of soldiers lost on both sides.
The Aden Emergency was a 1960s scramble to control the once-vital port of Aden in modern Yemen. Although the port had long been under British rule, a nationalist wave sweeping Yemen led to strikes, riots, and a general desire that the Brits leave as soon as possible. A desire the British decided to quell by opening torture centers.
Harsh and brutal, these centers housed the sort of horrors that would make Kim Jong-Un feel ill. Detainees were stripped naked and kept in refrigerated cells, encouraging frostbite and pneumonia. Guards would stub their cigarettes out on prisoner’s skin and beatings were common. But perhaps worst of all was the sexual humiliation. Locals who had been detained could expect to have their genitals crushed by guards’ hands, or to be forced to sit naked on a metal pole; their weight forcing it into their anus.
By 1966, an Amnesty report on these abuses had caused global outrage. Faced with international condemnation, the British apologized. They then kept right on using the torture centers for another full year.
In 1950, the Empire had a problem. Armed Communist insurgents were trying to take over Malay and most of the population seemed willing to let them do so. Reasoning that their forces stood no chance against a hidden army that could call upon the peasants for supplies, the British hit upon an ingenious solution. Rather than fight, they’d simply imprison all the peasants.
Known as “New Villages,” the camps constructed to house Malay’s poor were heavily fortified and watched over by trigger-happy guards. Inmates were forced to do hard labor in return for scraps of food, and contact with the outside world—including family—was forbidden. Once in a village, you lost all right to freedom and privacy. At night, harsh floodlights flushed out the shadows to stop clandestine meetings. Expressing any political sentiment could get your rations docked.
But perhaps most uncomfortable of all was the racist nature of the camps. Of the 500,000 people detained during the decade-long Emergency, only a handful were anything other than ethnic Chinese. Outside the barbed wire walls, another half a million Chinese were meanwhile being deported, sent into exile, or forced from their homes. In short. it was a racist policy that harmed nearly a million people, all so the British could cut off supplies to a handful of rebels.
7The Amritsar Massacre
On April 13, 1919, thousands of peaceful protesters defied a government order and demonstrated against British rule in Amritsar, India. Men, women, and children all descended on the walled Jallianwala Gardens, hoping to make their voices heard. What happened next was one of the lowest points in British history.
At 4.30pm, troops blocked the exits to the Garden and opened fire on the crowd. They kept firing until they ran out of ammunition. In the space of ten minutes, they killed between 379 and 1,000 protesters and injured another 1,100. A stampede caused a lethal crush by the blocked exits. Over 100 women and children who looked for safety in a well drowned. Rifle fire tore the rest to shreds.
When the news reached London, Parliament was so shocked it recalled the man who ordered the massacre, Brigadier Reginald Dyer. In a depressing twist of fate, the British public labeled him a hero and raised £26,000 (around $900,000 in today’s money) for “the man who saved India.” He died peacefully, convinced right to the end that his mindless slaughter had been morally justifiable.
6The Cyprus Internment
The big myth of the British Empire is that it nobly withdrew from its colonies when it realized the days of Imperialism were over. Yet one look at Cyprus proves the myth to be just a feel-good fairy tale. Between 1955 and 1959, the British responded to a Cyrpus rebel bombing campaign by rounding up and torturing 3,000 ordinary Cypriots.
The victims of this internment campaign were often held for years without trial and violently abused for being “suspected” terrorists. Detainees received regular beatings, waterboarding, and summary executions. Children as young as 15 had burning hot peppers rubbed in their eyeballs, while others reported being flogged with whips embedded with shards of iron. Those found guilty of rebel sympathies were relocated to London, where a UK opposition party inspection found inmates with their arms broken and jagged scars running across their necks. In short, it was an appallingly sadistic policy, one that showed the British to be even lower than the terrorists they were meant to be fighting.
5Crushing The Iraqi Revolution
In 1920, the newly-formed nation of Iraq was tiring of British rule. Charged with guiding the new state towards independence, the Empire had instead installed puppet leaders. turning the place into a de facto colony. Fed up with their imperial overlords, the Iraqis turned to revolution, only for the British to unleash wave after wave of atrocities against them.
First the RAF conducted nighttime bombing raids on civilian targets. Then they deployed chemical weapons against the fighters, gassing whole groups of them. But the real horrors came in the aftermath, when the victorious British decided to use collective punishment against the offending tribes.
From that point on, any tribe that caused a fuss would have one of its villages randomly annihilated. Specific orders were given to exterminate every living thing within its walls, from animals to rebels to children. Other villages were subject to random searches. If the British found a single weapon, they would burn the place to the ground, destroy the crops, poison wells, and kill livestock. They’d sometimes target weddings to terrorize the population. In short, the British deliberately targeted civilians in a campaign that lasted the better part of half a decade, all because a few Iraqis had dared to ask for their country back.
4The Partitioning Of India
As a servant of the British Empire in 1947, Cyril Radcliffe has the distinction of killing more people with the stroke of a pen than anyone else in history. With almost zero time to prepare himself, Radcliffe was tasked with drawing the border between India and newly-created Pakistan that would split the subcontinent forever along religious lines. It was a tricky task, one that had the potential to cause massive displacement and ethnic violence even if handled carefully. Radcliffe, on the other hand, was asked to make some of the most-important decisions during the course of a single lunch.
The result was a border that made no ethnic or geographical sense. Terrified of being caught on the wrong side, Hindus in modern Pakistan and Muslims in modern India upped sticks and ran. The result was 30 million people trying desperately to escape one country or the other, a situation that quickly spiraled into mind-numbing violence.
Gangs of armed Muslims held up border trains and slaughtered any non-Muslims onboard. Hindu mobs chased and battered Muslim children to death in broad daylight. Houses were ransacked, villages burnt, and half a million people killed. It was a ridiculous waste of life, one that could have been largely avoided simply by giving the unfortunate Cyril Radcliffe enough time to do his job properly.
3Exacerbating The Irish Famine
If you want to see why large parts of Ireland still despise anything remotely British, look no further than the Irish Famine. What started out as an ordinary if brutal famine soon became something more like genocide when London sent the psychopathic Charles Trevelyan to oversee relief work.
A proud Christian who believed the famine was God’s way of punishing the “lazy” Irish, Trevelyan was also a fierce devotee of Adam Smith. How fierce? Well, he passionately felt that government should never, ever interfere with market forces, to the extent that he refused to hand out food to the starving Irish. Instead, he instituted a public works program that forced dying people into hard labor building pointless roads so they could afford to buy grain. The only problem was he refused to control the price of grain, with the result that it skyrocketed beyond what the road builders could afford. Trevelyan thought this would encourage cheap imports. Instead it led to a million people starving to death.
To cap it all off, Trevelyan also launched a PR blitz in Britain that encouraged people to blame the Irish for their own poverty. Suddenly Irish emigrants looking for work found themselves unemployable and subject to violence, even as their friends and families starved to death back home. Because fate laughs in the face of justice, Trevelyan was later officially honored for his “relief work.”
In the 1950s, the people of Kenya decided they wanted their nation back. Unfortunately, the people they wanted it back from just happened to be the same guys responsible for every other atrocity on this list. Fearing a countrywide rebellion, the British rounded up 1.5 million people and placed them in concentration camps. What happened in these camps will turn your stomach.
Under slogans like “labor and freedom” and other variations on ” Arbeit macht frei,” inmates were worked to death as slave labor filling in mass graves. Random executions were not-uncommon and the use of torture was widespread. Men were anally raped with knives. Women had their breasts mutilated and cut off. Eyes were gouged out and ears cut off and skin lacerated with coiled barbed wire. People were castrated with pliers then sodomized by guards. Interrogation involved stuffing a detainee’s mouth with mud and stamping on his throat until he passed out or died. Survivors were sometimes burned alive.
The official body count is under 2,000, but more reliable estimates place the total dead in the tens or hundreds of thousands. Most of them were civilians or children, detained on vague, trumped-up charges of aiding the rebels. And it was all for nothing. Kenya was declared independent in 1963. In using those camps, the British lost both their African outpost and their souls.
1The Bengal Famine
In 1943, a deadly famine swept the Bengal region of modern East India and Bangladesh. Between one and three million people died in a tragedy that was completely preventable. At the time, the extent of suffering was put down to an incompetent British government too busy dealing with a war to look after its empire properly. But in 2010 a new book came out claiming the lack of famine relief was deliberate and that the deaths of those millions had been intentionally engineered by one man: Winston Churchill.
According to the book, Churchill refused to divert supplies away from already well-supplied British troops, saying the war effort wouldn’t allow it. This in itself wouldn’t be too damning, but at the same time he allegedly blocked American and Canadian ships from delivering aid to India either. Nor would he allow the Indians to help themselves: the colonial government forbade the country from using its own ships or currency reserves to help the starving masses. Meanwhile, London pushed up the price of grain with hugely inflated purchases, making it unaffordable for the dying and destitute. Most-chillingly of all, when the government of Delhi telegrammed to tell him people were dying, Churchill allegedly only replied to ask why Gandhi hadn’t died yet.
If all this is true—and documents support it—then Winston Churchill, the British war hero who stood up to the Nazis, may well have starved to death as many innocent people as Stalin did in the Ukrainian genocide. Could the man who held out against Hitler really be capable of such an atrocity? Judging by the rest of this list, it wouldn’t be surprising.
3.) Ottoman Empire
“ While the Ottoman Empire ruled for hundreds of years, in its decline from 1914 to 1922, it sanctioned genocide against Christian Greeks. Under the rule of the Young Turks and Mustafa Kemel, 3.5 million Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians were killed. The empire was dissolved in 1922.
4.) Nazi Germany
“From 1933 to 1945, Nazi Germany was a totalitarian movement under the leadership of Adolf Hitler that promoted German national pride, anti-Semitism, and disapproval of the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler mass-murdered 6 million Jews by forcing them into concentration camps and systematically killing them. He also invaded Poland, France, North Africa, and the Soviet Union, leaving death and destruction in his wake.
“Holocaust, Hebrew Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”), Yiddish and Hebrew Ḥurban (“Destruction”), the systematic state-sponsored killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by NaziGermany and its collaborators during World War II. The Germans called this “the final solution to the Jewish question.” Yiddish-speaking Jews and survivors in the years immediately following their liberation called the murder of the Jews the Ḥurban, the word used to describe the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by the Babylonians in 586 BCE and the destruction of the Second Temple by the Romans in 70 CE. Shoʾah (“Catastrophe”) is the term preferred by Israelis and the French, most especially after Claude Lanzmann’s masterful 1985 motion picture documentary of that title. It is also preferred by people who speak Hebrew and by those who want to be more particular about the Jewish experience or who are uncomfortable with the religious connotations of the word Holocaust. Less universal and more particular, Shoʾah emphasizes the annihilation of the Jews, not the totality of Nazi victims. More particular terms also were used by Raul Hilberg, who called his pioneering work The Destruction of the European Jews, and Lucy S. Dawidowicz, who entitled her book on the Holocaust The War Against the Jews. In part she showed how Germany fought two wars simultaneously: World War II and the racial war against the Jews. The Allies fought only the World War. The word Holocaust is derived from the Greek holokauston, a translation of the Hebrew word ʿolah, meaning a burnt sacrifice offered whole to God. This word was chosen because in the ultimate manifestation of the Nazi killing program—the extermination camps—the bodies of the victims were consumed whole in crematoria and open fires.
Even before the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, they had made no secret of their anti-Semitism. As early as 1919 Adolf Hitler had written, “Rational anti-Semitism, however, must lead to systematic legal opposition.…Its final objective must unswervingly be the removal of the Jews altogether.” In Mein Kampf (“My Struggle”; 1925–27), Hitler further developed the idea of the Jews as an evil race struggling for world domination. Nazi anti-Semitism was rooted in religious anti-Semitism and enhanced by political anti-Semitism. To this the Nazis added a further dimension: racial anti-Semitism. Nazi racial ideology characterized the Jews as Untermenschen (German: “subhumans”). The Nazis portrayed the Jews as a race and not as a religious group. Religious anti-Semitism could be resolved by conversion, political anti-Semitism by expulsion. Ultimately, the logic of Nazi racial anti-Semitism led to annihilation.
Hitler’s worldview revolved around two concepts: territorial expansion (that is, greater Lebensraum—“living space”—for the German people) and racial supremacy. After World War I the Allies denied Germany colonies in Africa, so Hitler sought to expand German territory and secure food and resources—scarce during World War I—in Europe itself. Hitler viewed the Jews as racial polluters, a cancer on German society in what has been termed by Holocaust survivor and historian Saul Friedländer “redemptive anti-Semitism,” focused on redeeming Germany from its ills and ridding it of a cancer on the body politic. Historian Timothy Snyder characterized the struggle as even more elemental, as “zoological,” and “ecological,” a struggle of the species. Hitler opposed Jews for the values they brought into the world. Social justice and compassionate assistance to the weak stood in the way of what he perceived as the natural order, in which the powerful exercise unrestrained power. In Hitler’s view, such restraint on the exercise of power would inevitably lead to the weakening, even the defeat, of the master race.
When Hitler came to power legally on January 30, 1933, as the head of a coalition government, his first objective was to consolidate power and to eliminate political opposition. The assault against the Jews began on April 1 with a boycott of Jewish businesses. A week later the Nazis dismissed Jews from the civil service, and by the end of the month the participation of Jews in German schools was restricted by a quota. On May 10 thousands of Nazi students, together with many professors, stormed university libraries and bookstores in 30 cities throughout Germany to remove tens of thousands of books written by non-Aryans and those opposed to Nazi ideology. The books were tossed into bonfires in an effort to cleanse German culture of “un-Germanic” writings. A century earlier Heinrich Heine—a German poet of Jewish origin—had said, “Where one burns books, one will, in the end, burn people.” In Nazi Germany the time between the burning of Jewish books and the burning of Jews was eight years.
5 ) The American Empire
New American Shame is not music. It was bloody, wicked, brutal, aggressive, shameful, deadly, inhuman, atrocious, and evil. I believe the tragedy began in 1949 when the first time America became an empire.
Since the end of World War II, history has not completely recorded how many nations had been attacked or occupied, how many millions of innocent peoples had been killed, and how many millions of refugees of abject poverty had been created, and the American war crimes to this day including Ukraine war are still going on. Not to say the coming nuclear war which is contemplating by America and its allies to destroy Russia and China. It does not include the economic impacts on the world and the hardships of poverty, difficulty, many nations have suffered under American atrocities.
But Western leaders and politicians of America, United Kingdom, EU, NATO, Australia, Canada, Germany, Japan, etc. Have no shame for their evil deeds. They proceed from bad to evil, from worse to worst.

It has been established that the demand for slaves during the Transatlantic slave trade was fuelled by the availability of a supply chain which involved African rulers and tradesmen who made a fortune out of selling people.
Between 1525 and 1866, 12.5 million Africans were shipped to North America, the Caribbean and South America, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database. Only about 10.7 million survived the dreadful journey under bondage in slave ships.
The slave trade contributed to the expansion of the most powerful West African kingdoms such as Mali and Ghana, as the business became one of the main sources of foreign exchange for many years.
Britain banned the slave trade in 1807 and the United States later abolished it in 1865. Brazil was the last to ban it in the Caribbean in 1888 marking the end of the barbarism inflicted on men, women and children of colour and their descendants.
There were recorded protests by West African chiefs and traders after the abolition of slave trade due to the loss of revenue. In West Africa, the slave traders were known as caboceers and they lived on the coast. They were usually appointed by the African rulers to deal directly with the European slave merchants.
In the second of the two-part article, here are some notorious chiefs and caboceers who were actively involved in the transatlantic slave trade.”
On behave of the victims, I propose America, Great Britain, France, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Netherlands, Spain, etc. start to pay reparations and compensations to their former colonies and victims right away. If they fear God and have any decency, they must do it now.
It was live on TV when the black Secretary of State was shaking a vial of white power supposed to be the evidence of Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction. All Americans were stunt not knowing what to think. Nobody had expertise to evaluate the statement of black secretary of state. Most Americans would like to trust their government. However, that incident changed the minds of millions of patriotic Americans ever since including me.
Once upon a time in America, I drove my car to a gas station to fill up. There came a black woman with wheelchair, she was full mouth of fury and blasted my ancestors for black slavery. Well, my Chinese ancestors were free men but they never owned black or any slaves. I decided no use to reason with such a irrational black woman. There came a Mexican woman with a baby in her arm. Her approach was more effective by saying she just did not have enough money to eat at the Chinese restaurant. I had to give some money somehow.
“Israeli police arrest 5 for allegedly spitting on Christians”
I applaud the Israeli police and suggest those five uncivilized rogues should be jailed one night without food and let 100 other prisoners to spit on them. I believe this is also a hate crime. The criminals must also be fined $500 each. This is the punishment for first time offense. I also realize in some uncivilized nations they behead Christians.
behavior and publicly defames her, and says, ‘I took this woman, but when I came near her, I did not find her to have evidence of virginity.”
Shameful behavior in Hebrew isʿălîlâwhich means wantonness; evil deed; uncivilized practice; doing in a bad sense; perverse act; — which occurs 24 times in the Old Testament.
The world has turned upside down. In America, many girls want to get rid of their virginity like trash.
For this reason, it is wrong for government and media to cover up the faces of crooks and criminals. When a person commits a crime, he/she has lost human right, civil right and privacy. The faces of crooks and criminals must be on display to let the whole world recognize them, to shame them. The nation who gives so many rights to crooks and criminals is to encourage them, on the wrong side.
Mic 1:11, “Go on your way, inhabitant of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of Zaanan
does not escape. The mourning of Beth-ezel:
“He will take from you its support.”
Nakedness between husband and wife is not shameful. Nakedness for man and woman in public is shameful.
Hab 2:10,“You have planned a shameful thing for your house By bringing many peoples to an end; so you are sinning against yourself.”
As an American, I truly believe the American government is doing wrong. Since the end of WWII, America by conquest and military conflicts has killed millions of innocent peoples in many parts of the world, and created even more millions of refugees of abject poverty. America must ditch the empire and return to a respectable republic. America has been led to the path of destruction, the way of committing suicide. American foreign policy is a shameful thing, sinning against itself. American involvement and support of Ukraine war is morally reprehensible, meaningless, useless and wasteful. In fact, the majority people of America, Canada, UK, Germany, France, Italy, Hungary, etc. oppose the Ukraine war. The US is right to support Israel in eliminating Hamas once and for all.
Rom 1:27, “and likewise the men, too, abandoned natural relations with women and burned in their desire toward one another, males with males
committing shameful acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.”
Homosexuality is a shameful act. Obama is the first American president who promotes homosexuality and same sex marriage. The US Supreme Court violates the Heavenly Supreme Court. There are people in science and psychology try to blame God that some people were born homosexual. The Bible calls it their error.
1Sa 25:39, “When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Blessed be the LORD, who has pleaded the cause of the shame inflicted on me by the hand of Nabal, and has kept back His servant from evil. The LORD has also returned the evildoing of Nabal on his own head.” Then David sent a proposal to Abigail, to take her as his wife.”
This is a principle every Christian must remember and follow:
Do not revenge with evil deed no matter how you unjustly have been shamed or humiliated. Revenge is not a Christian practice. The Bible says, Rom 12:19, “Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written: “VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY,” says the Lord.”

Potential government shutdown could further strain U.S. consumers, businesses
MinneapolisCNN —
“The United States’ credit rating could come under pressure if the government shuts down, Moody’s Investors Service cautioned Monday.
A shutdown would be “credit negative” for the US sovereign, according to a Moody’s note.
“While government debt service payments would not be impacted and a short-lived shutdown would be unlikely to disrupt the economy, it would underscore the weakness of US institutional and governance strength relative to other AAA-rated sovereigns that we have highlighted in recent years,” Moody’s wrote.
“In particular, it would demonstrate the significant constraints that intensifying political polarization put on fiscal policymaking at a time of declining fiscal strength, driven by widening fiscal deficits and deteriorating debt affordability.”
Moody’s is the only one of the three major credit rating agencies to assign the United States an outstanding rating of AAA. Standard and Poor’s downgraded the United States in 2011, following the debt ceiling standoff then. In August, Fitch Ratings knocked America’s credit rating down to AA+ after the most recent debt ceiling debate.

“Looking ahead, weaker fiscal policymaking that leads to persistently high fiscal deficits and higher than expected interest costs would put pressure on the US rating or outlook,” Moody’s wrote.
The economic impacts of a shutdown would be largely concentrated in areas that have a significant government presence, and the full effects would be wholly dependent upon how long it were to last, according to the note. Most of the economic impacts, especially on spending, would be temporary and reversed once the government reopens, Moody’s added.
“If it is short-lived, it would have minimal effect on the broader economy and our GDP growth forecasts,” Moody’s wrote. “The effect would be more pronounced if the shutdown was protracted and it impaired national business and consumer confidence or triggered an adverse reaction in financial markets.”
The most direct effect of a shutdown would be through lower government spending as well as reducedconsumption from affected federal workers and government contractors, Moody’s noted.
It’s not the first time the government has been on the brink of a shutdown. The government shut down for 35 days, a record length, from December 2018 to January 2019 amid a congressional stalemate over funding for then-President Donald Trump’s border wall.
The effects of delayed paychecks and cut hours on federal workers as well as stalled contracts cost the economy an estimated $11 billion, the Congressional Budget Office reported.
A shutdown this time around could mean a $140 million-a-day hit to the US travel industry, according to the US Travel Association.
Additionally, a government shutdown could leave investors, economists and, most importantly, policymakers at the Federal Reserve, flying blind. The Bureau of Labor Statistics has said a shutdown would delay the release of crucial data on inflation and employment. That would force Fed officials to make major decisions on interest rates by relying on data produced in the private sector.

Since American problems are accumulative, structural, systemic, complex, intractable, intentional, historical, self-inflicted, indubious; American solutions will not be easy and simple.
First of all, America needs a New Constitution that stipulates the national sovereignty lies in the hands of its citizens. The majority (51%) of American citizens have the power and right to remove any elected or appointed official (including the president) instantly without impeachment process, through the peaceful means of national referendum. Only American citizens have the right to vote and participate in national referendum. An elected or appointed official does not need to commit any crime, no confidence is a sufficient reason.
Secondly, the majority (51%) of American citizens have the power and right to change the government or reorganize the government.
Thirdly, the majority (51%) of American citizens can abolish the two parties and Congress because they do not serve American national interest.
Fourthly, the majority of American citizens (51%) can abolish the House of Representatives and make the U.S. Senate the unicameral legislative body. The US Senate can have no power to legislate or sanction against any foreign nations. Every state no matter how small its population will have one Senator; additional 5 million population will add one more Senator. For example, if California has a population of 35 million citizens, it will have 7 Senators. The US Senators are elected once every seven years.
Fifthly, the US government is made of three branches, the executive (the White House), the legislative (the US Senate), and the judiciary (the US Supreme Court).
Sixthly, the federal government shall establish an Election Board to oversee all national election committees and the general elections as well as National Referendum. The Election Board shall build millions of voting machines to facilitate the convenience of election activities of American voters in all states. Any tempering of the voting machines shall be constituted death penalty. Any forgery committed by American resident or illegal alien shall be deported the whole family without appeal.
Seventhly, under the New Constitution, any American citizen born in America, or naturalized citizen after living 10 years consecutively in America, aged 37 or above, with college degree, and without criminal record verified by FBI and IRS, may qualify to run for the office of the US President on his/her merit or virtue. The US President shall be elected by popular votes, for a term of seven years. Any presidential candidate must meet the electoral votes of 25% or above in the primary election. Each presidential candidate or any candidate may establish his/her Campaign Committee to raise funds for campaigns without restriction, but not by sending letters or TV or newspaper commercials. Each candidate may appear and speak to an audience to solicit votes. The campaign funds may be used for travel, hotel, and meal. The raised campaign funds do not belong to the candidate, the left over must be returned to the US Treasury.
Eighthly, the federal government shall establish Voter Registrar in every city, county, and state. Every American citizen shall register without party affiliation (THE TWO PARTIES ARE ABOLISHED BECAUSE THEY ARE DETRIMENTAL TO NATIONAL INTEREST) with the required information such as date of birth, place of birth, gender, race, employment or unemployment, resident address, telephone number (desk or mobile phone) and a personal photo on the ID Card. The ID Card is used in any election, local or national by American citizens only. Voter’s Registration Card is the same as American Citizen ID Card.
The Voter Register form covers the following information:
Name: It should be the same as birth certificate, or name change certificate by the court.
A birth certificate is a legal document issued by your state’s vital record offices, and that is acceptable as a form of identification. Also, being born in the U.S. establishes eligibility for American citizenship.
You can use a certified copy of your birth records to obtain a driver’s license, passport, to apply for government benefits, social security card and enrolling in school.
Birth certificates in the U.S. include personal identifiable information, like name, date and place where the birth occurred, sex and the names of the parents.
You can order your birth certificate using our secure online service and completing our simple application process in just 5 minutes. We will save you time and hassle and thanks to our expert assistance you know you’ll get exactly what you want.”
Gender: Male or Female, the NEW CONSTITUTION DOES NOT RECOGNIZE LGBTQ.
Employment:
Resident address:
Telephone:
But race is a hot potato and full of controversy. The information given by each American citizen must be verified by FBI and IRS.
In publications issued from 1735 to 1759, Linnaeus classified all the then-known animal forms. He included humans with the primates and established the use of both genus and species terms for identification of all animals. For the human species, he introduced the still-current scientific name Homo sapiens. He listed four major subdivisions of this species, H. americanus, H. africanus, H. europaeus, and H. asiaticus. Such was the nature of knowledge at the time that Linnaeus also included the categories H. monstrosus (which included many exotic peoples) and H. ferus (“wild man”), an indication that some of his categories were based on tall tales and travelers’ myths.
Blumenbach divided humankind into five “varieties” and noted that clear lines of distinction could not be drawn between them, as they tended to blend “insensibly” into one another. His five categories included American, Malay, Ethiopian, Mongolian, and Caucasian. (He chose the term Caucasian to represent the Europeans because a skull from the Caucasus Mountains of Russia was in his opinion the most beautiful.) These terms were still commonly used by many scientists in the early 20th century, and most continue today as major designations of the world’s peoples.
These classifications not only rendered human groups as part of nature but also gave them concreteness, rigidity, and permanence. Moreover, some descriptions, especially those of Linnaeus, included statements about the temperament and customs of various peoples that had nothing to do with biophysical features but were forms of learned behaviour that are now known as “culture.” That cultural behaviour and physical characteristics were conflated by these 18th-century writers reflects both their ethnocentrism and the limited scientific knowledge of the time.
The institutionalizing of race
Slavery always creates social distance between masters and slaves, and intellectuals are commonly called upon to affirm and justify such distinctions. As learned men began to write a great deal about the “racial” populations of the New World, Indians and Negroes were increasingly projected as alien. In this way did some Enlightenment thinkers help pro-slavery interests place responsibility for slavery in the “inferior” victims themselves.”
N.B. The race question will never be satisfactorily settled. Fortunately in the Kingdom of Heave, there will be only one angelic race, Pe 2:9, “But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests, a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for He called you out of the darkness into His wonderful light.”
Mat 22:30, “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Mar 12:25, “For when they rise from the dead, they neither
marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in Heaven.”
Luk 20:36, “for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.”
All angels are in white. There are no black angels, yellow angels, brown angels or red angels.
Race is most complex, complicated, difficult, hard, and political subject to deal with. No matter under what scheme and taxonomy, there will be objections and protests. Thinking of it gave me a sleepless night. However, nobody has the right to create problems in managing federal government. Since Voter Registrar is a federal agency. We all must help them to do their jobs effectively and efficiently. May I propose a simple and workable plan.
I would categorize all American citizens under the following SIMPLE taxonomy: White, Black, Yellow, Brown, Red, and Mixed. White is white and Black is black, they are simple like that. There is no need of definition. In America I do not believe any White person would want to claim to be Black. There are some Black persons may want to claim to be White for political reason. I would not classify peoples of North Africa, or the Middle East as WHITE. I would not classify peoples of India, Pakistan, etc. as Asians. Even Harvard University, numbering after 5 is 7. This subject even among scientists do not agree. May I suggest the following simple classifications:
1. White – White is White, it is obvious
2. Black – Black is Black, it is obvious
3. Yellow
Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Mongolians, etc.
4. Brown
Indians, Pakistanis, Malaysians, Indonesians, Filipinos, Hawaiians, etc.
5. Red
American and Canadian Red Indians
The biggest problems are the offsprings of mixed races.
A person of mixed white and black ancestry was called a mulatto, but the term is outdated and considered offensive.
I often say when a white man married a Chinese woman, they do not produce a white child. When a Chinese male married a white woman, they do not produce a Chinese child. There is no racial classification for the mixed race. The mix of races is unlimited and invariable, and there is no specific term for it. So to simplify we may just call it Mixed. So a registered American citizen has six choices which he/she can pick. Regarding Mixed, it is not important to know what race is mixed with what, it is sufficient to know it is Mixed.
1. White 2. Black 3. Yellow 4. Brown 5. Red 6. Mixed.
V. OPEN SHAME
Heb 6:6, “and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.”
To open shame in Greek isparadeigmatizōwhich means to hold up to infamy; to expose to public disgrace; to expose to infamy; — which occurs 2 times in the New Testament. What American leaders and politicians are doing, knowingly or unknowingly, hold up America to infamy and expose America to public disgrace. They have fallen away, they need to restore to repentance, since they again crucify themselves to the Son of God by claiming to be Christians and put Him to open shame.
American media, leaders and politicians are busily blind and ferociously criticizing and attacking Russia and China while they are oblivious to American open shames. American citizens must read the article
It will open your eyes to the truth, American government and business are nothing but frauds, they have fooled the American people with deluded democracy.
THE REALITY OF SHAME IS SO PERVASIVE, PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE Why Silicon Valley Falls for Frauds
Somebody is making a blasphemous statement by saying, “Jesus Christ and Donald Trump share a remarkable similarity—they both promise honor. ”
The person who makes such a statement does not know Jesus Christ at all. I am warning the person not to commit the unpardonable sin!
Who is Donald Trump? A non-Christian, proven liar, crook and criminal, indicted and charged, disgraced leader, demagogue, and shameless politician who would do anything to advance himself.
For all the reasons AND meaningful changes, I advocate America to have a New Constitution; to abolish the two parties which do not serve the national interest; to reform the Congress by abolishing the House of Representatives and making Senate the unicameral legislative body; to reform national and general elections; to register American citizens with ID photo cards; to totally reject unlawful immigrants with no humanitarian aid and put political asylum on hold for a 100 years; to welcome the immigration of doctors and nurses; to build barriers, fences, wires and walls along the borders; to keep the border secured with the military; to attack Mexico for serving as a conduit for illegal and forced entry to America; to change welfare into workfare and only citizens may apply; to deport 45 million illegal aliens with their families already residing in America; to strip former presidents all perks and privileges, no secret service, library, travel, office, and US mail subsidies, only basic pension; to abolish jury trial and replaced by three independent judges; to provide no free legal representation to crooks and criminals; to strip lawyers from any damage or reward to victim’s family; to provide no assistance to lawyers in employment; to declare American English as the official language of America in government and business; no government shall provide interpreters or translation service to other languages; to expedite capital punishment after a month of sentencing and with only one appeal at the expense of the defendants; to abolish Affirmative Action in every area and provide no special treatment to any race; to provide no financial assistance to officials who violate the law; to shoot at terrorists, looters, gangsters, armed men at the scene without due process of the law; to cease attack, occupation and sanction of any country; to stop supporting the Ukraine war or any foreign war; to ditch the empire by returning to a respectable Republic.
Ephesians 5:11-12, “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret.”
I agree 100% with Marianne Faithfull who said” I think it’s a great shame that America stopped being a republic and became an empire.”
All the shameful historical acts of America can be traced since America became an empire in 1049.
Slavery was not American greatest shame. Slavery was long gone. There is now a new group of corporate slaves because psychopathic supervisors treat their subordinates as slaves. Probably top management executives are not aware of the existence of psychopathic supervisors in their company. In passing let me tell you who are these psychopathic supervisors are: most are while males also some black males who are poorly educated, lack of skills and knowledge, big ego with small brain. They all act like bosses who own the company. The greatest American shame is attacking and occupying and abusing many nations under the slogan of democracy but without any redeeming value.
Major credit rating agency Moody’s warned today that it may downgrade the U.S. credit rating if the government fails to figure out a way to avoid the so-called fiscal cliff at the end of the year.
Credit rating agencies last year issued similar warnings when Congress and the White House were wrangling over the U.S. debt ceiling. While Moody’s did not downgrade the U.S. at the time, S&P, another of the big three agencies, downgraded the U.S. from AAA to AA+.
Despite their dubious role in the global financial crisis, credit rating agencies have an impact on the interest rates governments and businesses pay on their debt. Lower ratings mean the government may have to pay higher interest rates on some of its $16 trillion in debt outstanding.
The fiscal cliff is what economists are calling the year-end expiration of the Bush-era tax cuts, plus tax increases and spending cuts that will automatically take place as part of a deal to raise the debt ceiling.
MOODY’S STATEMENT:
Update of the Outlook for the US Government’s Debt Rating
The US government bond rating remains unchanged at Aaa with a negative outlook. The direction of the US rating and its outlook will most likely be determined by the outcome of budget negotiations during the course of 2013. In particular:
» If those negotiations lead to specific policies that produce a stabilization and then downward trend in the ratio of federal debt to GDP over the medium term, the rating will likely be affirmed and the outlook returned to stable.
» If those negotiations fail to produce a plan that includes such policies, we would expect to lower the rating, probably to Aa1.
» The maintenance of the Aaa with a negative outlook into 2014 is highly unlikely unless the method adopted to achieve debt stabilization involved a large, immediate fiscal shock with a resulting unstable economic situation. Such a shock could come from the so-called “fiscal cliff.” In such circumstances, we would await evidence that the economy could rebound from the shock before considering a return to a stable outlook.
It is difficult to predict when during 2013 Congress will conclude negotiations that result in a budget package. The Aaa rating, with its negative outlook, is likely to be maintained until the outcome of those negotiations becomes clear.
It is also worth noting that maintaining the rating outlook assumes a relatively orderly process for the increase in the statutory debt limit. The debt limit will likely be reached around the end of this year, and the government’s ability to meet interest and other expenses out of available resources would likely be exhausted within a few months. Under these circumstances, the government’s rating would likely be placed under review after the debt limit is reached but several weeks before the exhaustion of the Treasury’s resources. Moody’s took a similar action during the summer of 2011 after the debt limit had been reached.
Come what may, Jesus Christ is coming again to reign and rule in new Heavens and new Earth in the Kingdom of God. Christians will reign and rule the universe with Jesus Christ, the King of kings and the Lord of lords with glory and power for eternity. Will you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior now?
ARE DEPORTATION EFFORTS HURTING THE ECONOMY? WRONG QUESTION. RIGHT QUESTION: ARE ILLEGAL ALIENS HURTING AMERICA? Most of illegal aliens are on welfare, there are 45 million unlawful migrants already residing in America, including their children born in America who are not citizens. America needs to deport illegal aliens without further delay. To warn Mexico not to be an unlawful door for unlawful migrants to invade America, America needs to drop a few bombs on Mexico City to DETER them.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.
Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.

BY WILLIE WONG
This article is written to let you know that it is the will of God that people seek peace; peace is precious and wars are brutal. Leaders and politicians do not want peace, they want war to expand and maintain their power. The world will have no peace until the Prince of Peace will come to rule the universe.
When I was young I used to admire Leo Tolstoy, but this article was not influenced by him at all. When I grow up I felt sorry for Tolstoy because he viewed the Lord Jesus Christ as a great man and great teacher, but not the Son of God. Anyone who denies the divinity of Jesus Christ cannot be a Christian. However, I want to say, humanly speaking, Tolstoy’s War and Peace is a masterpiece of Russian literature and one internationally praised classic of world literature.For the same reason I felt sorry for Ralph Waldo Emerson, a Unitarian but not a Christian. In my failed human judgment, I think Emerson was great in his philosophy of life, but his opinions on religion or Christianity were all wrong. I also want to say Self Reliance by Emerson has some value for the youth and for leaders of the poor nations.
If you take a closer look on the current world affairs, I am compelled to write about War and Peace the first time which have IMPORTANT
considerations and consequences of human history. It is hoped mankind may get wise and not to repeat history. For those who have not learned from history are doomed to repeat it. I believe strongly and without reservation in the prophetic Word, there will be no peace on earth until the King of kings and Lord of lords returns and reigns with power and glory. There is no one who can save the world. There is no nation which can save the world. There is no institution or organization that can save the world. There is not one individual can save the world.
Be it as it may, I must do what I must do even I know fully well that the human race prefers darkness rather than light. It is not my job to save the world, I am obliged and obligated to proclaim the truth of the Gospel to the whole world.
This article is written so that the world awakes and comes to its senses, and realizes the horrors of wars, the total destruction of nuclear war, and the abundant blessings of peace among men, among the peoples of the world.
I. THE ORIGIN OF WAR
Most people might not know, the first war in the universe was not fought on earth, it was fought in Heaven.
Rev 12:7-9, “And there was war in Heaven, Michael and his angels waging war with the dragon. The dragon and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough, and there was no longer a place found for them in Heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.”
Note: The first war fought in the universe was fought in Heaven. The dragon, also called the devil, and his angels waged war, and they were not strong enough. I am often pissed off by the Chinese cultural statement that the power of goodness is CHI（尺）, and the power of evil is Zhang. ZHANG is 10 x of Chi. It is written the devil and his angels were not strong enough, they lost the war and the devil was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. We need to be reminded that the devil and his angels lost the war because they were not strong enough. So now, the ruler of this world is the devil. Many world leaders do not know that they are but agents of the devil. The whole world is under the sway of the devil. Many world leaders are actually used by the devil.
Isa 14:12-15, “How you have fallen from Heaven, O Lucifer, star of the morning! You have been cut down to the earth, you who have weakened the nations! “But you said in your heart, ‘I will ascend to Heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. “I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’ “Nevertheless you will be thrust down to Sheol, To the recesses of the Pit.”
Note: Actually Lucifer waged a war of rebellion, and there were more fools to follow him.
Luk 10:18, “And He said to them, “I was watching Satan fall from Heaven like lightning.”
Note: Jesus Christ was watching Satan fall from Heaven like lightning. That may be quite a show because of Satanic ambition: ‘‘I will ascend to Heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
Satan, the dragon, was thrown down to the earth; he is now the ruler of the world. Satan has not been cast down to the Bottomless Pit yet. Don’t you wonder whither the world is heading according to the course of the world? The devil and his agents are very busy at work, Eph 2:2, “in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.”
Most people would agree that war is the armed conflict of states (nations against nations, kingdoms against kingdoms), in which each seeks to impose its will upon the other by force. This definition applies to the earthy states or nations.
It was most amusing that a former leader was so enthusiastic to establish U.S. Space Force troops to be called “guardians”. Did he get approval from the prince of the power of the air? Are those “guardians” under the command of the prince of the power of the air? Do you know the spirit (evil spirit) is now working in the sons of disobedience? Do you know any world leader who is not a son of disobedience? It is no surprise that the sons of disobedience are busy preparing for wars every day and doing evil deeds.
There is a war that most people are not knowledgeable about. It is the war of fleshly lusts against the soul.
1Pe 2:11, “Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against the soul.”
Note: The war of fleshly lusts against the soul is private and personal that only the individual knows first hand. This soul war is not the subject of war that we are dwelling. The war we are discussing is the war among men, ancient and modern, nation against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
Man is the only miserable creature who plans and systematically kills its own species en masse. Wars take place among nations and kingdoms. Mat 24:7, “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and in many places there will be famines and earthquakes.” As predicted, there are more wars taking place in the last days between nation against nation, kingdom against kingdom.
In ancient wars, primitive weapons were used. The Bible did not say what weapon Cain used in killing his brother Abel.
Recently a Black man in America whatever crime he committed was publicly killed on TV through asphyxiation by a White police using his two legs that the victim could not breathe and died. The event was Televised life and the whole world was watching. So you see two legs can also be used to kill people. The sensation was the fact no one in the government gave an order to stop it. The governor, the mayor, and the chief of police did not order to stop the killing. Is it not strange that such as a phenomenon happened in a land called law and order?
II. THE NATURE OF WAR
The first war waged by Satan was a war of rebellion or disobedience. The causes of war were clear. The Satanic war of rebellion will not be repeated because God has passed the judgment on the devil already, he is to be executed after the day of the second coming of Jesus Christ, after the Millennium Reign of Jesus Christ on earth. Satan has been condemned and sentenced by God, his execution is according to the time table of God.
While on earth, all wars had been fought by humans against humans, although they may be inspired by the devil. So there are many causes of war; and most recently are caused by aggression and unlawful intervention.
Jas 4:1-4, “What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members? You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures. You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.”
Note: The Western values of money, power, and sex are the source of quarrels and conflicts among men.
After the end of World War II, the United States became the sole superpower. No nation on earth is equal or sufficiently equal in power to the United States. Therefore, America can threaten, boycott, oppress, and sanction any nation including Russia and China. Since President Richard Nixon who sought a just and lasting peace for the world, none of his successors wanted a just and lasting peace for the world. All successors of Nixon, American presidents and politicians, seek absolute military supremacy and world domination. American leaders use “security threat” or “national security” to falsely charge any nation and sanction them without legal ground. The US Congress even passes laws that they have no jurisdiction, violating the international laws, violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of many nations. Consequently, American hostilities create the largest powerless peoples which are called illegal migrants and many of them are economic and fortune seekers dreaming to reach America or Europe so that they can live happily hereafter on welfare. I know for sure that the administrations of the Democratic Party usually, overtly and covertly welcomed illegal aliens to join the Democratic Party. When I was working my way through college, Mexican pregnant women would just walked in and had their babies at Los Angeles County Hospital free of charge and then bred like rabbits and lived happily on welfare. And so the Mexican populations in California booming and booming. Telling the truth is not a racist statement. Telling the truth is not a racial prejudice. A person who tells the truth is not a racist. It was estimated there are now 60 million illegal aliens in America. This problem of illegal aliens was Made in the USA because the government failed to do its job. Even today, the government does not do what is right — deporting illegal aliens.
The nature of war also demonstrated by the weapons used. There are many different types of primitive weapons, including a rock, knife, bow and arrow, sword, club, stick, spear, ax, sling, Tomahawk, saw, etc. People trained in marshal arts even with bare hand can be used to kill. The first human killer was Cain who murdered his brother Abel, it did not say what weapon he used. Almost any hard and sharp object can be a weapon. Modern weapons include pistol, gun, automatic rifle, shotgun, sniper, grenade, famas, flashbang, uzi, submachine gun, etc.
The weapons of mass destruction change the nature of war as history progresses. Nuclear war will be a global war, but not World War III because it will be the last war that destroys the whole world.
III. THE HISTORY OF WAR
Sadly, the history of man is the history of war. The first human war,
or rather a conflict, was waged by a brother who killed a brother. The conflict was one-sided that Cain wanted and killed his brother Abel. Thus the drama of the conflict between the unrighteous and the righteous began.
Some 75 million people died in World War II, including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians, many of whom died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, mass-bombings, disease, and starvation.”
Estimated to be 10 million military dead, 7 million civilian deaths, 21 million wounded, and 7.7 million missing or imprisoned.
World War II Casualties:
Over 60 million people died in World War II. Estimated deaths range from 50-80 million. 38 to 55 million civilians were killed, including 13 to 20 million from war-related disease and famine.”
THERE WILL BE NO WORLD WAR III because in a nuclear war, that means the total destruction of the whole world, the end of the world as we know it.
All the wars instigated or fought by the Unites States after the end of World War II have been characterized by ideological and hegemonic wars. Korean War and Vietnam War could be characterized as ideological wars because America was afraid of the successful spread of Communism in Asia and that the U.S. may lose its domination of the world. Hegemonic wars are fought for the control of the international system, the world order or domination. In fact for America ideological and hegemonic wars are fused together.
Note: Even an informed American could not and might not be able to know all the wars and military interventions that America has engaged cited above since the end of World War II. Being the sole superpower and owner of the largest quantity of nuclear weapons, America still oppresses, threatens and sanctions many nations.
IV. THE ANNIHILATION OF WAR
Weapons of mass destruction at once change the future nature of war. Future war is the nuclear war. There are many peoples in the world still do not know or understand that nuclear war would mean total annihilation of mankind and civilizations. Trained in greed and blinded by unholy ambition there are American leaders and strategists who believe America could win a nuclear war against Russia and China.
Note: If you study the following list of all U.S. Nuclear Weapons, you at once realize not only they are deadly dangers, unnecessary annihilation, but complete insanity, irresponsibility, and immorality. White and black supremacists often cry wolf by shouting “Russia threat” and “China threat.” Any honest and normal American would say America is the greatest threat to the world. Look at the list of wars America has waged. Look at the list of nuclear weapons America possess. Do we American people want the leaders to develop, maintain, and keep these lethal nuclear weapons of mass destruction? Trillions and trillions of dollars wasted on weapons of mass destruction would get the better of in rebuilding America with justice and equality for all.
“It is worth quoting Eden describing the results of an 800 kiloton nuclear warhead detonating over Manhattan, which she does to terrifying effect. First, the temperature of the detonation itself:
Within a few tenths of millionths of a second after detonation, the center of the warhead would reach a temperature of roughly 200 million degrees Fahrenheit (about 100 million degrees Celsius), or about four to five times the temperature at the center of the sun…
…After one second, the fireball would be roughly a mile in diameter. It would have cooled from its initial temperature of many millions of degrees to about 16,000 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly 4,000 degrees hotter than the surface of the sun.
Eden then describes the destruction the heat would cause downtown:
At the Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, the Chrysler Building, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, about one half to three quarters of a mile from ground zero, light from the fireball would melt asphalt in the streets, burn paint off walls, and melt metal surfaces within a half second of the detonation…
…Those who tried to escape through the streets would have been incinerated by the hurricane-force winds filled with firebrands and flames. Even those able to find shelter in the lower-level sub-basements of massive buildings would likely suffocate from fire-generated gases or be cooked alive as their shelters heated to oven-like conditions.
And then the fires that would engulf the city and the surrounding suburbs:
On a clear day with average weather conditions, the enormous heat and light from the fireball would almost instantly ignite fires over a total area of about 100 square miles...
…As the massive winds drove flames into areas where fires had not yet fully developed,the fires set by the detonation would begin to merge. Within tens of minutes of the detonation, fires from near and far would join to form a single, gigantic fire. The energy released by this mass fire would be 15 to 50 times greater than the energy produced by the nuclear detonation…”
The hydrogen bomb, or”H-bomb,” is the most powerful weapon currently available on the planet, as confirmed by Dr. Matthias Grosse Perdekamp, who teaches a class on nuclear weapons and arms control at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
In fact, to date, no explosion has exceeded the power of the Tsar’s Bomb, a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb, the equivalent of 50 million tons of TNT, tested by the Soviet Union in October 1961.
This bomb was about 3,000 times more powerful than the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.”
Wars in modern times actually have only two kinds: conventional war and nuclear war. In my opinion,
According to report, 21 Nov, 2019 Henry Kissinger made the statement and warns:
“US-China tensions could lead to a conflict worse than First World War.”
I disagree with the understatement. If the U.S. has war with China, it would be much worse than First World War. Because the World War I and World War II were conventional wars. If America has war with China, it will be a nuclear war. Later you will understand how terrible is a nuclear war.
The prospects of modern wars are exponentially more dangerous because of their scope and category of evolving nuclear war, biological war, and chemical war.
If nuclear wars, just study carefully the complete list of all U.S. Nuclear Weapons and understand what they can do to you and to the world at large.

With the nuclear weapons cited above, America is able to destroy the whole world many times over. One of the evils of nuclear war is desolation, as a result of total destruction.
Illustration of nuclear bomb explosion, provided by
President Richard Nixon used the ” balance of power,” or the “balance of terror” to maintain world peace for a number of years. Both the United States and then the Soviet Union realized no one can be a winner in a nuclear war, and so NO one was willing to take the risk. Most students of history and human psychology are pessimists concerning the preventability of the nuclear war.
A. CAUSES OF WAR
I think it is an exercise of futility to try to find out the causes of World War I and World War II, it depends on which side you are. It is oversimplified to say in certain war it was Communism vs Fascism. All wars involved lust for power, aggression, territorial expansion, greed, injustice, oppression, envy, and cruelty. The Japanese wars against China for 14 years were crystal clear of aggression, atrocity, genocide, brutality, inhumanity, cruelty, barbarity, forced labor, sex slavery, greed, etc. beyond description. Only God knows all the evil deeds that Japanese military had done to the Chinese in China. The war crime nation of Japan although unconditionally surrendered had not confessed its war crimes to this day or made war reparations and compensations as the Germans did. On the contrary the leaders of Japan revised history textbooks to whitewash its darkest deeds of history. Japanese are certainly not the victims of war. Two atomic bombs were too good for them. The causes of World War II were transparent and clear. The United States of America was good and right to participate in fighting Japanese militarism, German Nazism, and Italian fascism.
To prevent wars you need to know what causes wars. Just like to prevent disease, you need to know what causes the disease. Just knowledge alone does not help if the man is not willing. For example, almost all smoking persons know smoking can cause lung cancer as well as other diseases. But those people smoke anyway. Causes of war are much more complicated. Biological and psychological factors or drives for wars are hard to ascertain or analyze. Causes of war may not be clear or apparent in some wars. However, almost all wars somehow involve in one or more of the following causes. For example, the causes of World War I may be fussy, confused and mixed; but the causes of World War II were transparent of aggression, territorial expansion, greed, weakness of victim country, and brutality by the Japanese militarists against China, the invader Japan. Prevention lies in strong defense to stop aggression, territorial expansion, greed, and cruelty on the part of invader or aggressor.
God did not prevent or stop Cain from killing Abel. Wars caused by the defective human nature characterized by aggression, lust for power, territorial expansion, greed, hatred, jealousy, malice, ill will, egocentricity, cruelty and brutality, etc. are not easy to prevent. For the same reason, all the wars instigated or participated after the end of World War II by the United States were ideological and hegemonic in nature. Both the Korean War and Vietnam War were ideological and hegemonic wars on the part of America and its allies. America was fighting those two wars because America was afraid of communism and afraid of losing domination or hegemonic power in the world.
In my opinion, when China was most advanced and strong, it was culturally too proud to look for territorial expansion, and so the Imperial China was not hegemonic or ideological. When China was weak, it provided a major incentive for barbarian Japanese to launch a war of aggression for 14 years against China. The war crimes committed by Japan such as genocide, slave labor, sexual slavery, atrocity, brutality, inhumanity, etc. are caused by Japanese national and cultural characteristics.
In the War of the Kings, it is written,
Gen 14:1-23, “And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim, that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar). All these came as allies to the valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea). Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled. In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim, and the Horites in their Mount Seir, as far as El-paran, which is by the wilderness. Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar. And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim, against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five. Now the valley of Siddim was full of tar pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell into them. But those who survived fled to the hill country. Then they took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. They also took Lot, Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, for he was living in Sodom. Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram. When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan. He divided his forces against them by night, he and his servants, and defeated them, and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus. He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people. Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley). And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High. He blessed him and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth; and blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” He gave him a tenth of all. The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself.” Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have sworn to the LORD God Most High, Possessor of Heaven and earth, that I will not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything that is yours, for fear you would say, ‘I have made Abram rich.’” But there is no historical accounting who robbed the wealth and riches of Saddam Hussein of Iraq and wealth and riches of Mohamad Geddafi of Lybia. We know who killed them.
Note: The interesting first war history recorded in the Holy Bible cited above was about the war of four kings against five. The four kings led by Chedorlaomer defeated the five kings led by the king of Sodom. The aggressors took all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food supply, and departed. They also took Lot, Abram’s nephew, and his possessions and departed, for he was living in Sodom. Abram (later called Abraham) was a strong strategist who led his private army to defeat the aggressors. Abram brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people. For Abram the war was just and personal, he saved his relative Lot and his goods, possessions, and also the women and the people. The victorious Abram was magnificent who would not take a thread or a sandal thong or anything from the king of Sodom. In the history of mankind, there was only one Abraham.
“Self-fulfilling prophecy, process through which an originally false expectation leads to its own confirmation. In a self-fulfilling prophecy an individual’s expectations about another person or entity eventually result in the other person or entity acting in ways that confirm the expectations.”
I agree with the first part of the definition, and disagree on the last part of the definition. For years, America, NATO, UK, Australia, Canada, Japan, etc. and their mainstream media have orchestrated and propagated the Russia Threat and China Threat. So much so those hostile leaders successfully create a climate of hostility and malice of their own country citizens towards Russia and China. Russia and China did not and have not acting in any ways that confirm the expectations of Western supremacists and Japanese militarists. If the swan keeps singing a swan song so long, it may actually die because of it. White and black supremacists keep telling the lies about Russia and China threat, they themselves and their peoples may actually believe it and act in a way to bring out the expectations. For example, Huawei 5G is Chinese most advanced technology, America and its allies allege it is a national threat and so they have acted to target and sanction Huawei 5G with intention to destroy it by any means. Huawei 5G is considered a threat to the West because the West cannot catch up with Huawei 5G. If America, NATO, UK, EU, Australia, Canada, Japan, and the newcomer India constantly believe in Russia threat and China threat, there is a high probability they might act it out. So all the war games and military excises in Russian and Chinese territories provoking Russia and China may present a real risk and danger of self-fulfilled prophecy. Long-term hatred may actually lead to war. When their mind-sets are fixed, it is hard to change them. Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson harbored inordinate wishes to drop nuclear bombs on China. A sound of war may produce a war. If you continuously make preparation for a funeral, it is likely you are going to have a funeral. If America and its allies constantly and continuously make preparations for a war against Russian and China, they may have a war.
Self-fulfilling prophecies of Russia Threat and China Threat may motivate America, NATO, UK, AUKUS, QUAD, Australia, Canada, India, Japan to attack Russia and China and this is an example of assuming the characteristics of self-fulfilling prophecies or miscalculations and a host of misperceptions. These false accusations and political propaganda by Western leaders and politicians, and the fanning of fire by fake and corrupt Western mainstream media of this sort must be stopped at the outset to prevent catastrophic development. There is a predictable Western human behavior: If they cry lies loud and long enough, they may actually believe them. Many wars were launched due to ideological, political, economic, financial, legal, sociological, psychological, and technological reasons true or false, real or imaginary.
For example, poor or mismanagement of prison leads to the necessity of reducing violence to prison reform. If the attitude of management is tolerance of violence in prison, the prison will increase violence until it is out of control of management. The same thing is true of nation management. If a nation continues the aggressive, militant, hostile and malicious attitude and verbal and military action against a perceived real or unreal enemy, sooner or latter it becomes a self-fulfilled prophesy. The unreal enemy becomes a real enemy.
There are no so-called Indo-Pacific Challenges, they are fictitious and false pretenses created by Queer Quad Alliance — another form of Containment of China policy. India and Japan are pagan nations. 95% of Indians live in abject poverty, they do not even have toilets, but the Indian government wants aircraft carriers, naval destroyers, war planes, and nuclear weapons. India should ask the UK (British empire) how much land it incorporated from China into its Indian Map and resolve the border conflicts once and for all. Japan is an unconditionally surrendered war crime nation that refuses to acknowledge its genocide, slave labor and sex slavery, etc. and refuses to pay war reparations and compensations. America and Australia have similar historical origins. America robbed the land of natives of America and almost killed off the Red Indian race. Australia robbed the land of Australian aborigines and almost killed off the Australian natives. America is the hegemon of Queer Quad Alliance, Australia, India, and Japan are its running dogs and puppets. American leaders always lift up the banner of righteousness when they want to do evil. To justify the illegal expansion of America in Asia Pacific while it is located in the North America, it pulled and recruited the other three nations. America and Australia claim to be Christian nations, but they have been continuously doing the most un-Christian activities of aggression, oppression, expansion, suppression, sanction, discrimination and domination. Simultaneously America is the malignant hegemon of NATO to target the so-called Russia threat all because American wants to continue dictatorship and domination of the world. The Queer Quad Alliance is the same to target China in Asia Pacific and to have domination in Asia Pacific. The South China Sea, the Yellow Sea, and the East China Sea have belonged to China long before the Queer Quad nations existed. If America and its allies continue to shout Russia Threat and China Threat, there is a high probability of self-fulfilled prophesy. How can white and black supremacists pretend to be Christians and violate the teachings of Jesus Christ for so long? Do they believe and think they can fool God? The so-called common democratic values of the Queer Quad Alliance, only one percent of population rules America, Australia, India and Japan. They all reject the grievances and wishes of the majority of their own peoples.
It is most shameful and irresponsible for Japanese to accuse China committing genocide. America never holds Japan for its war crimes of genocide, sex slavery, slave labor, chemical experiments on Chinese, atrocities and brutalities, etc. and never demands Japan to make war reparations and compensations. America is happy just to have Japan as its running dog and attack dog. Japanese media have the gall to make fake news of China committing genocide of its own people. Japanese military killed 35 million Chinese, God will one day settle account with them and execute judgement. Ask the Korean old women now how Japanese troops did it to them, those old Korean sex victims are dying out because for many years Japan refuses to acknowledge their crimes (they even call them voluntary comfort women) and never makes fair and just compensations.
One of the concrete results of Self-fulfilled Prophesy is the increasing incidents of Asian Americans being attacked in most vicious and criminal ways. Whites claim to be natives of America and yell Chinese go home. Blacks also claim natives of America and shout Chinese go home. I had watched and lived through two Los Angeles riots. I have lived in America almost half a century. I know the various races of peoples very well. Who do you think are those who have their faces all covered up when they brutally attacked Asian Americans and robbed Asian women? This is a direct result of the government and mainstream media who continuously propagandize fake and false accusations of China and express militant hostility campaign against China for a long time. People do as the government does. European nations which are hostile to China, their peoples also act the same. ABC has answered the question of the terrorist and provided a great service as follows:
“Arrest made in street attack of 91-year-old California man
Anti-hate advocates say the pandemic has fueled attacks on Asians nationwide.
A 28-year-old suspect was arrested in a series of random attacks targeting Asians in the Chinatown neighborhood of Oakland, California, including a brazen street assault of a 91-year-old man, authorities said.
A motive in the Oakland Chinatown attacks has not been released.
One of the Jan. 31 attacks was on the 91-year-old Asian man and was caught on video surveillance. The footage, which went viral on social media, showed the man walking on a Chinatown sidewalk in broad daylight when a suspect, who O’Malley alleged was Muslim, walked up behind him and shoved him to the ground as witnesses watched in horror.
O’Malley said one of the attacks Muslim allegedly committed on Jan. 1 was on the 91-year-old man and was captured on surveillance video. The footage, which was posted on social media by the Chinatown Chamber of Commerce and has since gone viral, showed the victim, whose name was not released, walking on a Chinatown sidewalk in broad daylight when the suspected attacker walked up behind him and shoved him to the ground.
The prosecutor alleged that on the same day, Muslim attacked two other people in Chinatown, a 60-year-old man and a 55-year-old woman, in similar fashion.
“We have charged him with three counts of assault that involve three separate victims,” O’Malley said.
Muslim has also been charged with multiple counts of elder abuse stemming from the Chinatown attacks.”
“The document, obtained by ABC News, detailed a March 14 incident in Midland, Texas, in which “three Asian American family members, including a 2-year-old and 6-year-old, were stabbed … The suspect indicated that he stabbed the family because he thought the family was Chinese, and infecting people with the coronavirus.”
It should identify the 91-year-old Californian man is a Chinese. The picture and crime cited above must be considered terrorism. Terrorists should be shot at the scene because they are public and national enemies and do not need to go through the due process of law. The terrorist should be executed and all its families deported. It should also ban any racial group to dress in a way to cover up their identity and conveniently commit terrorist acts. I am particularly bothered by white and black supremacists who claim to be Christians, their speech was smoother than butter, but their hearts were war; their words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords. All of them are wielder of the sword, expert in war; skillful in committing deadly crimes or acts of terror.
Democracy, freedom, justice, human rights, self determination, etc. are empty words preached and promoted by American and European supremacists to deceive and fool the world. America and NATO and all its allies continually blast a trumpet of war and raise a war cry of Russia threat and China threat. They do it for so long and so often that they believe in the lie.
In convention wars (without using nuclear weapons), nations had employed also biological and chemical warfares.
“During World War II, Japanese forces operated a secret biological warfare research facility (Unit 731) in Manchuria that carried out human experiments on prisoners. They exposed more than 3,000 victims to plague, anthrax, syphilis, and other agents in an attempt to develop and observe the disease. Some victims were executed or died from their infections. Autopsies were also performed for greater understanding of the effects on the human body.”
“Anthrax bacteria occur worldwide. The United States Working Group on Civilian Biodefense and the Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention (CDC) have identified anthrax as one of a few biological agents capable of causing death and disease in sufficient numbers to cripple a developed region or urban setting. The organisms known as Bacillus anthracis may ordinarily produce disease in domesticated as well as wild animals such as goats, sheep, cattle, horses, and swine. Humans become infected by contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. Infection occurs mainly through the skin and rarely by breathing spores or swallowing them. Spores exist in the soil and become aerosolized when the microorganisms are released into the air by excavation, plowing, or other disruptive actions.”
“When a dollar bill changes hands, microbes are commonly carried with it. Fecal bacteria, mold, and yeast are some of the common hitchhikers that make their way onto cash money. In fact, according to a study commissioned by the U.S. Air Force, 94% of $1 bills harbor bacteria. U.S. bank notes seem to be more at risk than some others, too. Bills issued by the U.S. Treasury are made of 75% cotton and 25% linen, and seem to be more attractive to bacteria than the currency of some other countries like Australia and Canada that use polymers instead.”
“The Chemical Weapons Convention is signed. Beginning in 1997, the disarmament agreement bans the development, production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons.
Chemical warfare (CW) involves using the toxic properties of chemical substances as weapons. This type of warfare is distinct from nuclear warfare, biological warfare and radiological warfare, which together make up CBRN, the military acronym for nuclear, biological, and chemical (warfare or weapons), all of which are considered “weapons of mass destruction” (WMDs). None of these fall under the term conventional weapons which are primarily effective due to their destructive potential. In theory, with proper protective equipment, training, and decontamination measures, the primary effects of chemical weapons can be overcome. In practice, they continue to cause much suffering, as most victims are defenseless. Many nations possess vast stockpiles of weaponized agents in preparation for wartime use. The threat and the perceived threat have become strategic tools in planning both measures and counter-measures.”
According to Merriam Webster’s dictionary:
“Definition of chemical warfare
: tactical warfare using substances (such as incendiary mixtures, smoke, or gases) with irritant, burning, poisonous, or asphyxiating properties.”
The United States faces a rising danger from terrorists and rogue states seeking to use weapons of mass destruction. A weapon of mass destruction is a nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, or other device that is intended to harm a large number of people. The Department of Homeland Security works every day to prevent terrorists and other threat actors from using these weapons to harm Americans.”
Since the end of WWII, all America incited and participated wars are of two categories: ideological and hegemonic wars.Ideological wars as demonstrated by Korean War and Vietnam War, the United States was afraid of the success of communism may dominate Asia, so engaged in the two wars to stop communism. At the same time all American wars are hegemonic in nature because they are fought over control of the entire world order, including the rules of the international system as a whole, the rule of world domination. Hegemonic war may turn into a global war, or world war. The way America sets up NATO in Europe and alliances in Asia (QUAD with Australia, Japan, India, etc.) is intended for a world war.
Nuclear War will be world war and the last world war.
What would happen to the United States during a nuclear war?
Using unclassified documents on nuclear targeting and open data on the physics of modern weapons and fallout patterns, this simulation models what would happen if approximately 1,100 warheads (~7% of the world’s arsenal) hit the United States. This is a realistic simulation based on hard science and known targeting strategies. That said, it should be treated as an approximation of a single scenario – a real attack could take a myriad of forms, some less destructive than this model and some far more. This particular simulation might be considered a medium-level strategic attack.
The attack lasts two hours and strikes hundreds of military, government and economic targets. It comes in two waves, a first wave that destroys government and military installations followed by a broader second wave against population centers.”
One second in the model is equal to one real-time minute, thus the total runtime is 120 seconds. As the simulation runs, you can click any marker icon to expand the map and see more detail, including summary of damage per state and google streetview images of ground zero impact points.
Because it requires some heavy math, this simulation might not run to completion on older iOS devices. Beyond that it should function on any device, but it’s easier to view on larger screens (pads or desktops).”
“Summary of consequences: U.S.-Russian war producing 150 million tons of smoke
· 2600 U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear weapons on high-alert are launched (in 2 to 3 minutes) at targets in the U.S., Europe and Russia (and perhaps at other targets which are considered to have strategic value).
· Some fraction of the remaining 7600 deployed and operational U.S. and Russian strategic nuclear warheads/weapons are also launched and detonated in retaliation for the initial attacks.
· Hundreds of large cities in the U.S., Europe and Russia are engulfed in massive firestorms which burn urban areas of tens or hundreds of thousands of square miles/kilometers.
· 150 million tons of smoke from nuclear fires rises above cloud level, into the stratosphere, where it quickly spreads around the world and forms a dense stratospheric cloud layer. The smoke will remain there for many years to block and absorb sunlight.
· The smoke blocks up to 70% of the sunlight from reaching the Earth’s surface in the Northern Hemisphere, and up to 35% of the sunlight is also blocked in the Southern Hemisphere.
· In the absence of warming sunlight, surface temperatures on Earth become as cold or colder than they were 18,000 years ago at the height of the last Ice Age
· There would be rapid cooling of more than 20°C over large areas of North America and of more than 30°C over much of Eurasia, including all agricultural regions
· 150 million tons of smoke in the stratosphere would cause minimum daily temperatures in the largest agricultural regions of the Northern Hemisphere to drop below freezing for 1 to 3 years. Nightly killing frosts would occur and prevent food from being grown.
· Average global precipitation would be reduced by 45% due to the prolonged cold.
· Growing seasons would be virtually eliminated for many years.
· Massive destruction of the protective ozone layer would also occur, allowing intense levels of dangerous UV light to penetrate the atmosphere and reach the surface of the Earth.
· Massive amounts of radioactive fallout would be generated and spread both locally and globally. The targeting of nuclear reactors would significantly increase fallout of long-lived isotopes.
· Gigantic ground-hugging clouds of toxic smoke would be released from the fires; enormous quantities of industrial chemicals would also enter the environment.
· It would be impossible for many living things to survive the extreme rapidity and degree of changes in temperature and precipitation, combined with drastic increases in UV light, massive radioactive fallout, and massive releases of toxins and industrial chemicals.
· Already stressed land and marine ecosystems would collapse.
· Unable to grow food, most humans would starve to death.
· A mass extinction event would occur, similar to what happened 65 million years ago, when the dinosaurs were wiped out following a large asteroid impact with Earth (70% of species became extinct, including all animals greater than 25 kilograms in weight).
Even humans living in shelters equipped with many years worth of food, water, energy, and medical supplies would probably not survive in the hostile post-war environment.”
It is sad and mad because there are American leaders, politicians, military, and civilian strategists who believe they can win in a nuclear war against Russia and China, although Russia and China DO NOT want any war.American warmongers daily and constantly promote and promulgate the biggest and blackest lie of the 21st Century by making false charges that Russia and China are national security threats to America and EU, NATO. As a matter of fact America is the number one threat to the world.
American leaders and politicians are fooling the American public by disseminating disinformation and misinformation and fake news that America is ready to fight a nuclear war, destroys the enemies in 72 hours, and wins and continues as usual to rule the world.As attested by history the United States of America is the most warring state since its inception. Members of the military-Industrial-security complex are the beneficiaries of all American wars and they are the most powerful and richest people in America. America has wasted so many trillions and trillions of dollars in the name of national security and defense. I am telling you in a nuclear war, there will be no winner, only losers. The coming nuclear war incited by America means the total destruction of America, Russia, China, and the whole world.
Most Americans must know by now that election, general election, presidential election and ballot are useless and exercises of futility. American supremacists (white and black) want you to believe America is democratic and free. Democracy and freedom are empty slogans when and where 1 percent of the population rules over the 99 percent of American people. The system is rigged when and where the 1 percent of the minority owns the power and wealth of the majority. American leaders and politicians are most afraid of a national referendum to determine the fate of the nation whether American citizens want a respectable Republic or an evil Empire. The only measure that can change America is through the national referendum to determine the direction of America.
America cries “wolf” too many times, not realizing that American leaders and politicians are the savage wolves that swallow up American people (sheep and lamb). Jesus Christ says, Mat 26:52, “Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.” You cannot watch America to perish by the sword (nuclear war). American warmongers take pleasures in waging war. American citizens have the right to stop the madness and demand a national referendum which is true democracy in action.
There are no competing visions or conflicting interpretations or ambiguity about US-led coalition (namely NATO and QUAD) and intention of sudden pre-emptive strikes against China and Russia. There are only strategic mistake and misunderstanding that US can usually use its allies around the world to launch conventional long-range strikes and fight a proxy war for the U.S. The unmistakable responses from China and Russia will be all-out nuclear and massive retaliations targeting America Mainland causing total destruction of America and its military bases. The U.S. will kill one billion Chinese, there will still be 400 million Chinese left in the world. China and Russia can kill 350 million Americans around the world, there will not be one American left in the world. This is the clear meaning of mutual destruction and the destruction of the world!!!!!!!
The prevention of nuclear lies mainly in two areas: deterrence and dismantling of alliance, and peace. The hegemon has two alliances, NATO and QUAD. Deterrence consists of balance of terror and through a series of peace treaties.
WHITE and black supremacists and their allies are the peoples who delight in war — this is the one single factor of war, threat of war in the world. The nuclear weapons of war should frighten and deter any sane and responsible leader not to play with the fire.
Ecc 9:18, “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.” Many world leaders choose weapons of war, not wisdom. It took one sinner Hitler to destroy Europe. Democracy, freedom, human rights, law and order, justice are only empty words. They are for war and not peace. In the past wars brought destruction, disaster, plague, famine, poverty, etc. The nuclear war will bring total destruction and desolation of the whole world. All the men of war will be terrified and perish on that day. There will be no winners but losers.
American leaders and politicians lack wisdom, and so they mismanage the country. Swarms of illegal migrants are not American problems. The U.S. government has not deported 60 million illegal aliens who are already in America, most of them are on welfare. America has the largest national debts and deficits because monies were spent on the wrong things, wars and defense, and other unnecessary things. America must take care of the real problems, American problems. Where illegal aliens came from should return to their own countries.
VI. PEACE
Psa 27:3, “If an army encamps against me, My heart will not fear; if war arises against me, in spite of this I am confident.”
Note: What Christians are confident. We are not confident that the nuclear weapons will win. We are not confident military alliances will do any good, whether NATO or QUAD, or hundreds of military bases. For American problems are MADE IN THE USA, not caused by Russia or China. It is illegal, unlawful, unjust and unnecessary and provocative for USA to target and sanction Russia and China. Peace efforts cannot be fruitful until America and EU change its attitude, value and policy of aggression and interference of other countries’ internal affairs.
Phl 1:6, “For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work among you will complete it by the day of Christ Jesus.” We Christians are confident that the Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, will save us to the end, will complete the good work by the day of Christ Jesus. Christians will reign with Christ in the Kingdom of Heaven for eternity.
There are different types of peace. Individual or personal peace is when a believer reconciles with God, makes peace with God and obtains forgiveness of sins, it is spiritual peace. Rom 5:1-2, “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we also have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we celebrate in hope of the glory of God.”
Note: Sinner is an enemy God; the wages of sin is death. For that reason, all have sinned and all must die. Through Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Savior of the world, who died for our sins on the cross, we believers have peace with God. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. Col 1:20, “and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in Heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”
Rom 15:13, “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Note: The world does not know that Christians have joy and peace in believing. Believers have hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. What hope? Rom 16:20, “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.” Christians
live in peace with one another; those Western leaders who wage wars are not Christians. Christians of all nations and generations keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We preach the Gospel of peace. Heb12:14, “Pursue peace with all people, and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”
Peace among men is social peace when nations are not at war. This is what we are seeking for national and world peace. I supported President Richard Nixon because he was the only American leader who sought a just and lasting peace for the world.
1. The Way of Peace
The way of peace is what every nation on earth should pursue in particularly the superpower and its allies.
Luk 1:79, “To shine on those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.”
Note: The Ruler of this world inspired many leaders into war and death, the Prince of Peace guides our feet into the way of peace.
A. Peace Proposal
It seems unwise for the South Korean government to pay high protection fees and the cost of American military occupation which Korean people dislike very much, and on top of it, in any event of war the Korean soldiers must obey the command of foreign troops. South Korea can make peace with North Korea and use the protection fees to aid and appease the North Korea so that it can develop their economy. In doing so, the North Korea would not attack the South Korea. They can be unified whenever they want to.
The same thing is true with Japan. Japanese people dislike the American soldiers. Japan can tell American troops to go home. The high protection fees can be used to improve its country. China and Russia certainly have no interest in attacking Japan.
The same thing is NATO. EU can spare their protection fees and use them for internal development. It is really stupid to think Russia would invade EU. Russia today is not what Soviet Union was. EU including UK can learn to coexist with Russia for mutual benefits.
There is no Christendom, there is no Christian nation, and there is no Christian Nationalism. All military alliance in particular NATO and QUAD are not conducive to peace. If nations really want piece, they can disband military alliances and dismiss all overseas military bases and reduction of weapons of mass destruction.
The U.S. is blatantly pulling and recruiting India to join the 4-nations pack to target China in Asia. They are America, Australia, Japan and India– the QUAD. The leaders and politicians of America do not seem to be willing or to have a desire to change its foreign policy of aggression and hostility toward Russia and China. Australia has its past dark history of robbing the land and killing its aborigines. It does not show any interest in redeeming itself by paying compensations and make remedy for its historical blight. Australia is eager to follow America in getting a piece of domination in Asia. America does not seem to be interested to urge Japan to make compensation for its war crimes of genocide, slave labor, sex slavery, atrocities and brutalities. Instead America has been rearming Japan to serve as an attack dog in Asia Pacific. As regards India, I only want to make two points. 95% of Indians are living in abject poverty, why India wants to buy unnecessary weapons, warships, aircraft carriers, war planes, etc.? Second, India should request the UK leader to come out and clarify exactly how much Chinese territories were incorporated by the British empire into its colony the Indian Map to make the colony look bigger. This moral act would resolve China-India border conflict once and for all.
The U.S. and its allies seem to make Taiwan, Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, and the East China Sea troubling spots although they know Taiwan, Yellow Sea, the South China Sea, and the East China Sea legitimately belonged to China before the existence of the four countries.
The same policy America is making in EU, using NATO to target and provoke Russia. Knowing the destructive powers of atomic and hydrogen bombs, only the insane and incompetent and incapable and insipid and unamiable leaders would play with intense fire.
The United States can free itself from useless and wasteful spending on wars, preparation for wars, and the cost of overseas military bases, military operations with so many aircraft careers, spy planes, bombers, warships all over the world, and development of weapons of mass destruction. Our country really needs the money to rebuilt America in dilapidated infrastructure, fraudulent and highest cost of healthcare, welfare reform, and reform in education, legal system, and many other things. Let us face the truth. Russia and China are no threats to America. America, being the greatest to the world, is too costly and not worth it. It is far far better to seek peace than to wage wars.
B.Peace Treaty
Mat 5:9,“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.”
Note: Cursed are the warmongers, for they are called sons of the devil.
Or terms of peace or conditions for peace should be maintained and observed among nations on earth. The terms of peace for all nations to observe are simple:
1. Do not attack or wage war against any nation.
2. Do not oppress or sanction against any nation.
3. Problems between or among nations must be settled peacefully through negotiations under the leadership of the United Nations.
4. Every nation (in particular the nuclear club of nations) makes oath and vows never to use nuclear weapons under any circumstances.
5. Reduction of nuclear warheads by the United States of America and the Russian Republic is essential.
“1 Peace treaties are agreements concluded between the parties to an armed conflict that end the state of war or the armed conflict between them (Armed Conflict, International). One can broadly distinguish between two types of peace treaties. First, peace treaties stricto sensu are agreements concluded between belligerent States in written form and governed by international law that bring to an end the formal or material state of war between them. Secondly, agreements that are concluded between a non-State party to an armed conflict, on the one hand, and either one…”
“The Secretary-General of the United Nations is the depositary of more than 560 multilateral treaties which cover a broad range of subject matters such as human rights, disarmament and protection of the environment.”

“The Secretary-General of the United Nations is the depositary of more than 560 multilateral treaties which cover a broad range of subject matters such as human rights, disarmament and protection of the environment.”
Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-General
With all my heart and soul I support the Multilateral Treaties Deposited with the Secretary-Generalcited above and urge every nation to observe it.
Ecc 9:18, “Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.”
Note: We know the World War II was started by a few evil men: Hitler of Germany; Hirohito andHideki Tojo of Japan; and Benito Mussolini of Italy. American government protected Hirohito from execution as a war criminal.Isa 48:22, “There is no peace for the wicked,” says the LORD.
VII. THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN
There is no Christendom, there is no Christian nation, and there is no Christian Nationalism on earth. There will be the Millennium on earth and the Kingdom of Heaven forever and ever.
A. THOUSAND YEARS OF PEACE
When Jesus Christ returns to judge the world and reign with the saints on earth for a thousands years:
Rev 20:1-3, “Then I saw an angel coming down from Heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he took hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the Abyss and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.”
Note: I am always troubled by those preachers who preach the great power of the devil. You know Jesus Christ only sent an angel coming down from Heaven, holding the key of the Abyss and a great chain in his hand. And he took hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. During the Millennium, the devil will be bound and shut in the Abyss so he cannot disturb the 1,000 years peace reign of Jesus Christ on earth.
Here are the wonderful and beautiful glimpses of the Millennium:
Lev 26:6, ‘‘I shall also grant peace in the land, so that you may lie down with no one making you tremble. I shall also eliminate harmful beasts from the land, and no sword will pass through your land.”
Isa 2:4, “And He will judge between the nations, And will mediate for many peoples; And they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning knives. Nation will not lift up a sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.”
Isa 11:6-10, “And the wolf will dwell with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the young lion and the fattened steer will be together; and a little boy will lead them. Also the cow and the bear will graze, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The nursing child will play by the hole of the cobra, and the weaned child will put his hand on the viper’s den. They will not hurt or destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. Then on that day the nations will resort to the Root of Jesse, Who will stand as a signal flag for the peoples; and His resting place will be glorious.”
Isa 65:25, “The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.”
Mic 4:3-4, “And He will judge between many peoples and render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift a sword against nation, and never again will they train for war.
Instead, each of them will sit under his vine and under his fig tree, With no one to make them afraid, because the mouth of the LORD of armies has spoken.”
Isa 65:20-25, “No longer will there be in it an infant who lives only a few days, or an old person who does not live out his days; for the youth will die at the age of a hundred, and the one who does not reach the age of a hundred will be thought accursed.
They will build houses and inhabit them; They will also plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
They will not build and another inhabit, They will not plant and another eat; for as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands. They will not labor in vain, or give birth to children for disaster; for they are the descendants of those blessed by the LORD, and their descendants with them. It will also come to pass that before they call, I will answer; while they are still speaking, I will listen.
The wolf and the lamb will graze together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox; and dust will be the serpent’s food. They will do no evil or harm on all My holy mountain,” says the LORD.
Rev 2:27, “AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON, AS THE VESSELS OF THE POTTER ARE SHATTERED, as I also have received authority from My Father;”
Those are wonderful glimpses of the Millennium. The Millennium refers to the Biblical prophecy that Jesus Christ shall return to rule 1,000 years of peaceful reign with the saints on earth before the ultimate actualization of Kingdom of Heaven for eternity.
After the Millennium will commence Armegeddon, the White throne judgment, and finally the Kingdom of Heaven:
Isa 65:17-19, “For behold, I create new Heavens and a new earth; and the former things will not be remembered or come to mind.
But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; For behold, I create Jerusalem for rejoicing And her people for gladness.
I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; and there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying.”
How good it is when the world is at peace in truth.
Rev 21:1-4, “Then I saw a new Heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. And I saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is among the people, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.”
IN CONCLUSION
I was young, now I am old. I have heard, seen, watched, observed, and traveled a lot. I have learned, studied, and thought a great deal. If you have read all my free articles on the Internet, you might have insight into my knowledge. I know the world. I know the worries of the world. I know the kingdoms and nations of the world. I know the anxiety of the world. I know the stumbling blocks of the world. I know the darkness of the world.
I know the wisdom of the world. I know the spirit of the world. I know the scum and dregs of the world. I know the elementary principles of the world
exhibited by Washington, Wall Street and Hollywood. I know the world forces of darkness. I know the corruption that is in the world. I am no friend of the world, the world is no friend of my mine; for I am a citizen of Heaven. I know the expectation of the things that are coming upon the world. I know how the world is going to end as it is written in the Holy Bible. I know the Savior of the world.
Russia and China are not the problems of the world. The problems are America and EU and Japan. In the last 500 years, the white European supremacists have dominated the world and have done numerous evil deeds. God will judge white European supremacists. Since the end of World War II, American white and black supremacists and its allies (EU, UK, NATO, Australia, Canada, G-7, Japan, AUKUS and QUAD) have dominated the world and have done evil without measure. America and its allies will become accountable to God. European and American warmongers will not escape the judgment of God.
Islamic terrorists however wicked they are, they are unable to start a nuclear war. Japanese militarists however evil they are, they are also unable to incite a nuclear war by themselves. President Richard Nixon was the only American president in history who sought a just and lasting peace. None of his successors have sought a just and lasting peace. All of them, including the current president, seek absolute military supremacy and continuous domination of the world. Isa 59:8, “They do not know the way of peace, And there is no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, Whoever treads on them.”
Democracy, freedom, human rights, law and order, justice are just propagandized alibis, excuses, gimmicks, gadgets, pretenses and pretexts they use to cloak and cover up their real intention and motivation of aggression, oppression, suppression, sanction, and world domination. They are the single and capable and real factor or reason that may start a nuclear war. The most ludicrous and ridiculous part is that they all claim to be Christians. I am reminded by the Word of Jesus, Jhn 16:2, “They will ban you from the synagogue, yet the hour is coming for everyone who kills you to think that he is offering a service to God.”
European, American, white and black supremacists, lie, kill, and rob to think they are offering a service to God.
Be that as it may, the world is without God and without hope anyway. No matter what race, what nation, what kingdom, what power — they all will soon pass away anyway. So I urge you to repent and believe in the Savior of the world, for the Judge of the living and dead is standing at the door. The Lord Jesus, the Prince of Peace, is coming to judge the world and reign with the saints for a thousand years on earth.
Behold, the days are coming!
Psa 34:14, “Depart from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it.”
Note: War is evil, peace is good. Seek peace and pursue it, commands the Ruler of Heaven and earth.
Isa 32:17, “And the work of righteousness will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever.”
Note: The work of righteousness is peace; war is the work of unrighteousness. Mat 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.”
Note: Peacemakers only appear in shows and movies, not in real world of geopolitics and balance of terror. You cannot be peacemakers if you are weak and not strong. The warmongers will not listen to a righteous preacher. However, I believe when huge and good organizations express officially or make a formal statement may have some impact or influence on warmongers.
Why the world has wars and not peace?
Gal 6:7-8, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap.
For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.”
Mankind has sown the seeds of war namely hegemony, imperialism, capitalism, greed, aggression, oppression, injustice, belief in lies, etc. and so mankind reaps wars and not peace.
What kind of peoples today?
2Ti 3:1-7, “But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
These are the last days. We are in the last days of the world. These are perilous or dangerous times. Major characteristics of the peoples in these last days: lovers of themselves, lovers of money and lovers of pleasure.
The West has a form of godliness, they claim and pretend to be Christian nations. The Western leaders and politicians are not Christians at all because they are warmongers, aggressors, proud and haughty, despisers of good. For more than 500 years European had done so much evil in this world; they have not able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
None of European powers such as Britain, France, Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. have confessed their genocide, and start to pay reparations and compensations to their victims and colonies. America since the end of World War II has killed millions of innocent peoples has not paid for reparations of genocide of the natives of America the Red Indians and victims around the world. Japan the atrocious nation on earn even denied its war crimes and murders of 35 million Chinese, millions of slave labor and thousands of so-called “comfort women”. Because Japan is a running dog and under protection of America, it even wants to dump nuclear waste water into the Pacific Ocean. US, EU, UK, NATO are supporting the Ukraine war to destroy Russia.
It must be credited to the peace efforts of China that Saudi and Iran have made reconciliation. It is refreshing that the leaders of China and Russia are standing together against hegemony, unilateralism, domination and illegal sanctions. The world must come to the knowledge of truth. The West is practicing a fake democracy, false freedom, and false justice. The world has no true democracy because no nation in the world has a Constitution that stipulates that its sovereignty lies in the hands of its citizens. No nation today with a majority (51%) of its citizens can remove any elected office and change its government.
The world has no peace, because the peoples of the world want war. The nuclear war is coming.
2Pe 3:10-18, “But the Day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the Heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be destroyed.
Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, looking for and hastening the coming of the Day of God, because of which the Heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat! But according to His promise we are looking for new Heavens and a new Earth, in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found spotless and blameless by Him, at peace, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which there are some things that are hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unscrupulous people and lose your own firm commitment, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.”
It is needless to say, the current Taiwanese leaders and politicians are traitors. IN spite of natural disasters, earthquakes, drought, famine, cyclones, many backward and poor nations, whose leaders are corrupt and peoples are unproductive and unskilled, they only eat and drink and have sex to produce many children they cannot support — the international community has no reason to aid them.
I have done what I have done, my hands are clear of any blood.
Do you know the world is heading to total destruction, to be burned up by fire? Jesus Christ is coming to judge the world and reign and rule with the saints for ever and ever in the Kingdom of Heaven.
You can have a part of it by repentance and through faith in Jesus Christ. You can do it now.
ON September 3, 2025 for China to mark 80th anniversary of victory over Japanese aggression and fascism is a historical necessity and hard-earned victory. All foreigners who heroically sacrificed their lives for China in their fight against Japanese aggression must individually be commemorated and remembered, their relatives are eternal friends of China. I have never seen such a great parade before, the size and scope of it would overwhelm your mind; every aspect of it was systematically planned, every step of male and female soldiers was of uniform procedures, every military vehicle with all nuclear missiles and every war airplane in the sky well performed; the words such as grand, massive, superb, magnificent fail to describe the whole celebration. I wholeheartedly salute every Chinese military man and woman who participated. From 1931-1945, the brutal behavior of Japanese and its inhuman atrocities were worse than wild beasts and deserve ten atomic bombs in recompense. Even today Japanese government and leaders do not admit and repent of their war crimes, they worship executed war criminals as their national heroes and living gods. Japan never apologizes and pays compensation for killing 35 million Chinese, made hundreds of thousands sex slaves, millions of labor slaves and untold atrocities. Never again will China be oppressed. I am sure the militant Japan is deterred, but America is on the wrong side of history. Thank God it did not rain.
The mayors of Los Angeles, Washington, D.C. and Chicago are for crooks and criminals, they must be dismissed and deported. All the facts point to the need, Ukraine must be destroyed and its leader executed in order to end the war. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are terrorists and the countries that harbor them must be destroyed all together.
Since Gaza, West Bank, etc. are the Jewish lands, Palestinians must evacuate from all Jewish lands and flee to Arab lands where they are safe to receive international aid and build a Palestinian state of their choice.
The leader of Ukraine is corrupt and evil. Ukrainians are stupid to follow the path of destruction. He was the one who instigated war with Russia. Now he asks for security guarantees. The nincompoop should be executed to end the war.
Palestinians, Africans, and others serve as example of peoples who want to eat and do not want to work. UN, WHO, EU, etc. champion their cause. Palestinians do not want evacuate from Gaza, Jewish lands to resettle in Arab lands. Because they will lose their status as refugees where they can get their food, fuel, water, medicine and everything for free from international community. These problems multiply with the passage of time.
UN, EU, GERMANY, UK, FRANCE, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZELAND, ETC. are strange and unreasonable peoples. Who is stopping Palestinians to build a Palestinian state in an Arab land? It is wrong and illegal to build a Palestinian state in Jewish land (Gaza, West Bank, etc.). That is the cause of conflict.
The fact that National Guards have to patrol Washington, D.C. with weapons speaks loudly and badly of the capital. The mayor of Washington, D.C. should be dismissed and deported. All the more urgent the national capital should move to Lincoln, Nebraska, without delay.
The mayor of Washington, D.C. bowed to the illegal acts of street people who set up tents on public streets. She should be dismissed and deported. The National Guards are empowered to trash the tents, clear the streets and vanish street people. Los Angeles is a disgraced city because the California Governor and Los Angeles mayor failed to solve the problems of street people who not only set up tents on public streets, but also urinate and defecate. All the more urgent for the national capital to move to Lincoln, Nebraska. In the face of national debt exceeding $37 trillion, the people can save money by abolishing the House, retain the unicameral legislation of Senate to move also to Lincoln Nebraska. All this can be accomplished legally by a national referendum. America is ruined by dark and evil forces.
Heroes of all races who sacrificed their lives for China in the war against Japanese aggression should be celebrated and remembered. The descendants of them are eternal friends of China. Descendants of American Flying Tiers whose forefathers had sacrificed their lives in the war against Japanese aggression and atrocities must always be honored and remembered. The Chinese government must treat them as eternal friends, and they are welcome to China anytime. Such blood bonds must be appreciated and maintained forever.
The world wrongly marks the anniversary of dropping atomic bomb on Hiroshima while neglecting the Japanese aggression and atrocities of killing 35 million innocent Chinese without remorse or reparations. UN over–appointed unqualified blacks and media have given too much coverage to unworthy black spoke-persons. It is amazing no matter how beautifully white organizations and individuals hail human rights, civil rights, democracy, development, technology, benefits, justice, etc., what they are actually after is MONEY. This can be said equally true about blacks.
Pet economy is wasted economy. Money should better be spent on nutrition and education of children and orphans. In cities all dogs must have annual license of Y5,000, cats Y4,000, and birds Y3,000. It is exempt for rural areas. If a dog defecates in public place, it shall be fined Y3,000 plus cleanup by owner or walker.
Global media highlight the number of Palestinians who have died, but fail to consider why Palestinian Authority and Palestinians do not want to evacuate from Jewish land and resettle in Arab land. Palestinians, men and women, young and old, are shameless beggars. They remain in Gaza to qualify for refugees so that they can get everything free from international community. The international community is ignorant of the fact that GAZA and related territories all belong to the Jews. Israel has every right to take back and take over Gaza and related territories. Palestinians must evacuate and relocate to Arab lands, make a living and establish its own Palestinian state without further delay.
French nincompoop Macron recognized Palestine as a state but failed to know that Palestine does not have territory and sovereignty. Leaders of UK, GERMANY, AUSTRLALIA would commit the same mistake by supporting terrorists. Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis are wicked terrorists, they should be destroyed without mercy. Leaders of Palestinian Authority are guilty for the death and malnutrition of children because they lead Palestinians to the path of destruction. They could have led Palestinians to lands of Arabs to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Palestinians (young & old, man & woman) are most shameless beggars for food & water, they don’t want to go to an Arab land to earn a living and build their own Palestinian state. Africa amid famine has the most fat people in the world, they are also shameless beggars. Ukrainians are shameless beggars for weapons, they do not have reason for existence. Harvard though the richest university in the world is a shameless beggar for US aid. Japan claims to practice democracy, its ruling party lost election miserably, yet its prime minister shamelessly wants to stay in power. The world must realize years of aid to Africa produced nothing, trillions of dollars went to black holes. Africa is corrupt, unmotivated and useless. Black leaders and politicians take advantage of it; dress well, eat well, and live a luxurious life style. Black problems can be solved only by Blacks. Let Africa alone to survive on its own. Blacks create most of the problems in the world, given too much coverage and platform in world media, over–appointed and given too many spokespersons and positions in UN. Any nation who shares destiny with Africa will be doomed. Nothing good comes out of Africa: primitive religion, superstition, spiritism, orgies, black magic, tribalism, voodooism.
If the Texas flooding is an act of God; Ukraine conflict, and conflicts of Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis must be acts of the devil.
India must coexist with China, at the same time India and South Africa must be expelled from BRICS besause they do not remain true to BRICS’ founding mission, they do not belong, must be replaced by Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. US and EU must not rearm Ukraine, let Russia destroy it, and never to be rebuilt. The leader of Ukraine must also be executed.
Palestinian Authorities are guilty for leading Palestinians to a path of death, children died and suffer malnutrition. Palestian Authorities do not lead Palestinians (who are Arabs) to a land of Arabs to work for a living and build the Palestinian state.
American forces have successfully wiped out three Iranian nuclear sites through B-2 bombers. The “everlasting consequence” is Iran cannot be a nuclear threat anymore. I stand with the overwhelming majority of Dutch people to demolish NATO — the war machine.
We all now know about the horrors of concentration camps, but during the time of Boer Wars, rounding up tens of thousands of innocent people and 
On April 13, 1919, thousands of peaceful protesters defied a government order and demonstrated against British rule in Amritsar, India. Men, women, and children all descended on the walled Jallianwala Gardens, hoping to make their voices heard. What happened next was one of the lowest points in British history.
The big myth of the British Empire is that it nobly withdrew from its colonies when it realized the days of Imperialism were over. Yet one look at Cyprus proves the myth to be just a feel-good fairy tale. Between 1955 and 1959, the British responded to a Cyrpus rebel bombing campaign by 
In 1920, the newly-formed nation of Iraq was tiring of British rule. Charged with guiding the new state towards independence, the Empire had instead installed 
As a servant of the British Empire in 1947, Cyril Radcliffe has the distinction of killing more people with the stroke of a pen than anyone else in history. With almost zero time to prepare himself, Radcliffe was tasked with drawing the border between India and newly-created Pakistan that would split the subcontinent forever along religious lines. It was a tricky task, one that had the potential to cause massive displacement and ethnic violence even if handled carefully. Radcliffe, on the other hand, was asked to make some of the most-important decisions during the course of 
If you want to see why large parts of Ireland still despise anything remotely British, look no further than the Irish Famine. What started out as an ordinary if brutal famine soon became something more like genocide when London sent the psychopathic Charles Trevelyan to oversee relief work.
In 1943, a deadly famine swept the Bengal region of modern East India and Bangladesh. Between one and three million people died in a tragedy that was completely preventable. At the time, the extent of suffering was put down to an incompetent British government too busy dealing with a war to look after its empire properly. But in 2010 a new book came out claiming the lack of famine relief was deliberate and that the deaths of those millions had been intentionally engineered by one man:
