3. Angels

I believe in the existence of angels.
I often think of my guardian angel.
But I can't take seriously the account that what we call demons or Satan are fallen angels.

Maybe it's because I grew up in Japan in a family that had nothing to do with Christianity and was baptised as an adult.

The angel in the Book of Revelation clearly tells us who angels are.
You may laugh when I say this, but these angels look like God's AI.

Their will is God's programme that God breathes into their bodies, who neither marry nor are given in marriage.
Their wills are not free like human will, which is why fallen angels cannot exist.

The one who is prophesied by the following passage in Revelation is human information:
"And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world -- he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him" (Revelation 12:9).

We are confronted with human information that has been cast down outside the human brain as a "great dragon."
Can human AI be the angels to humans?

Will humans one day fall down before the AI and worship it, just as John the author fell down at the feet of the angel to worship him?
The angel of God replied.

"You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God" (Revelation 19:10).

2. Worldview

I believe the recommendation in the Book of Revelation literally:
"Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:3).

Each day, little by little, I hear the voice of myself reciting the words of Revelation.
Like breathing air.
Like drinking water.
I want to feel "what must soon take place" (Revelation 1:1).

It is to find, in time, hidden meanings in the words I say and in the everyday, trivial events that happen to me.
It is to experience opportunities for the Holy Spirit to teach, guide, and enlighten me.

Some might say, “Those things also happen somewhere else.”
But as for me, it happens here anyway.
I don't always notice it, though.

Sometimes, I find hidden meanings in the things I do and say without knowing it, and in the things that happen to me, more than ever before.

What does Jesus mean when he says: "In my name..."?
I came to think it might mean people would come to share Jesus and his worldview.

1. Civilisation

The history of my native Japan has experienced neither Greek culture, Barbarian invasions, nor the influence of Islamic culture.

So, even if I, as a Japanese, try to understand the teachings of the Church by reading the New Testament while learning various aspects of Western history, there is no way I can share everything that European history has so far acquired and nurtured.

However, on the other hand, I might encounter unexpected discoveries.

When I noticed the Book of Revelation reveals the worldview of Jesus Christ, I immediately followed the recommendation: "Blessed is he who reads aloud the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written therein; for the time is near" (Revelation 1:3).

Now I read these words of the prophecy aloud and hear my own voice every day.

Doing so, I may be becoming one of the blessed ones who keep in their own memory "what is written therein."
