How Should We Walk by Faith in the Day of Trouble? 

 

The reason why I deliver this message to Japan is as follows:

On January 31, 2020, an empress urgently asked for help in my dream. Then, I fell asleep and I dreamt again that an emperor appeared this time and asked for help. After the second dream, I prayed for asking the meaning of these dreams. In the midst of my prayer, God told me to send urgently the word of God to Japan, thus I am sending this message once again to Japanese people and Christians.

Until the present, Japan has lived well economically. However, now it is in the process of learning that a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. There are many absolute things people must keep and live in order to live a life whether they like them or not. But, we, human beings, have not taught precious values so far.

People have been just busy making a living, thus they have adjusted themselves to school, how to make money, success, etc., and they have lived by thinking that this is directly linked to happiness. Moreover, people have kept on moving forward at full speed by believing that the convenience and stability of science and abundance are to be the perfection of guarantees that bring absolute happiness in some way. Then, today, all human beings face natural disasters and the age of trouble.

The age of trouble means the period to burn tares up and gather grains into the barn, i.e., the period to distinguish between grains and tares (Mt 13:30). Through this, humans have discernment of what is right and what is false about the consequences of life which they have lived so far, and it is an opportunity to learn a great lesson about how to live. Human beings must hand this lesson down to their descendents for many and many years to come.

In regards to the day of trouble, Jesus Christ said, “When you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION standing where it should not be, then those who are in Judea must flee to the mountains” (Mk 13:14). Like this, Jesus teaches us to realize that when numerous falsehoods are rampant and the things cause confusion because confusion, preposterousness, irrationality, illogicality and abnormality are wrapped as normality, that is, when the abomination of desolation deceives as if it is the truth and is standing where it should not be, then it is just the time of judgment.

According to God’s word of prophecy, troubles and disasters always occur repeatedly when sins and evils of mankind are full from ancient times beyond modern times to the future. Also, Jesus Christ made Christians prepare for tribulation as a parable of ten virgins 2,000 years ago. Namely, only the five virgins who prepared oil met the bridegroom received salvation, whereas the five virgins who did not prepare oil lost the opportunity of salvation because the door was shut (Mt 25:1-13). As seen in the parable, in order to receive salvation by believing in Jesus, people must prepare oil, only then they can meet the bridegroom and receive salvation. If not, they intoxicate themselves with their work without realizing the arrival of the bridegroom due to their desire, assertion, stubbornness and obstinacy, thus they miss the opportunity.

Preparation of oil means as follows: first, it is to know the future by being reminded and taught through the Holy Spirit. According to that, it is also to prepare necessary things in advance. Second, it is to obtain the promise of salvation in advance for each individual, family, society or nation directly from the Lord. This is called a new covenant. In order to obtain the promise, it is to repent of living in the world at will in the mean time according to the attribute of the flesh without keeping the Lord’s commandment by taking a vow to keep love which is the Lord’s order and commandment.

Namely, it is to repent of being away from love such as hating brothers, idolatry, obscenity to have lived as being friend of the world, immorality and believing and depending on science more than the word of God, disobedience, etc. People can participate in the new covenant with the Lord only through such repentance. After making the new covenant, no matter what tribulation comes, people must pass through the faith which is promised with the Lord. As the new covenant is absolutely necessary in the age of trouble and the age of uncertainty like today, the new covenant cannot be fulfilled without being in love.

If the new covenant is fulfilled, people must not live according to their emotion. The truth, God’s covenant, is eternal thing. Emotion is instantaneous like a fog appeared and disappeared according to the situation and a reed shaken by the wind; and sensitive to the situational environment which is the present. In order not to be swayed by such emotional world, i.e., the world of illusion, building the present on the rock without shaking is faith.

Therefore, Christians overcome reality such as illusion, falsehood, worry, anxiety, fear, etc. by faith without shaking as the truth of knowing that they learned by anointing from God. For that reason, salvation is received through faith. Although Christians should receive salvation in tribulation by preparing oil like this, we are still at the level of immature faith filled with the questions of why God of good gives us such pain.

Christianity is the completion of all religions and it is completed by the commandments of love. The reason is that you can see the Lord by faith believing whatever the Lord says only in the spirit of a good loam soil which love is completed, only then you can serve the Lord’s commands. Even if you are unreasonably stubborn all the time and throw tantrums like children without keeping the commandments of love, those actions cannot be the truth. Like this, although we, Christians, are old enough to grow up, we argue and still insist that we are the only ones who are right without abandoning what we want like children and without changing our habits.

Although today’s Israelites are people of God, the environment is always drawn into a whirlpool of tribulation so that they cannot receive the salvation of peace and rest. This means that God is turning away from them. Because they did not repent and did not return to Jesus Christ, Messiah, due to stubbornness and obstinacy, God is turning away from them just as prophesied (Dt 31:17). When the Israelites sincerely receive Jesus Christ and repent, the miracle of salvation will happen.

Like this, if Christians also assert to the end due to their own stubbornness and obstinacy, God breaks the stubbornness and obstinacy through long period of training of suffering and pain as if a lump of rock loses a piece little by little over long periods of time through cold, heat and wind.

Therefore, in times of trouble, difficult circumstances will continue until they die due to their sins as if they die to live again. Until Christians who have obstinate spirit like brass or iron can see sin as sin; they can see truth and falsehood; they feel deceived and turn back to find God at last through such trouble, the trouble will continue. Until they curse evil with screams, confess their sins and seek salvation, it will continue.

The Emergency Exit of Salvation

To escape from trouble is to abandon stubbornness, obstinacy and self-assertion; and to come out with faith and obedience and this is the only short cut to the emergency exit of salvation. For that reason, God is the most pleased with faith, obedience and appreciation of Christians among of all things. Like this, the disaster of trouble is the whip of love to know God and to return to the truth. Just like recovering back to a healthy body by removing cancerous mass of malignant tumors, God allows people to know fear of God and living God through disasters.

God will put human beings through the age of suffering by striking them with various natural disasters including earthquakes and floods, etc., starting to strike them with an infectious disease. It is economic depression that will naturally follow through such disasters. Through such poverty, human beings will realize the truth which is God’s right way. Such God’s whip is harsh and God will beat the spirit and flesh of human beings, thus many people will die. Beginning of the whip is occurring now and it is just beginning of many whips which will come in the future. Human beings will realize how arrogant they become before God by looking at their miserable appearance through such trouble. Only then, they will humbly listen to the word of God.

Terror to human beings is God’s powerful whip of love that breaks obstinacy of human beings. God gives Christians fear with worry and anxiety in advance before terror, thus this fear is like the word of God to prevent terror which is coming soon. Now, before this fear which is lying before human beings, we, Christians, must be contrite and confess our sins with repentance and tears of wailing even though it is late. In regard to the things that are broken down and collapsed from nature due to sins of human beings, we must carefully find the reason one by one, realize our faults, repent and ask for salvation. In addition, we must cry out by saying “Hosanna, Hosanna!,” namely, “Save us, save us!” Only then, the trouble will end.

Now, the confrontation between God’s law of justice and the world’s untruth, deception, scheme, etc. has begun. Namely, the confrontation between good and evil has begun. Now, we, Christians, must gather on the side of God’s truth. Moreover, we must go into love by repenting for all the wrong things of the past, crying out and being contrite. When we, Christians, offer prayers by reconciliation and uniting into one within love beyond denominations, i.e., when we offer prayers of love for human beings in crying out and begging for reducing the period of this tribulation which they are suffering, at least the age of this tribulation can be reduced.

We, Christians, exist for this time. Specially, servants of the Lord must embrace human beings in the attitude of the lowest for them, crying together, laughing together and suffering together; endure hardship together and boldly deliver the word of God. It is natural duty for the conscientious servants of the Lord in this age. By doing so, all Christians should teach future descendents the light and darkness and make them take precautions from generation to generation, thus it is the duty and responsibility for all 2.1 billion Christians of this age to make all future descendents of our human beings prosper.

O Lord! Please, remember the martyrdom of 200,000~300,000 Japanese martyrs and do not disregard repentance and cry of Christians who are depressed. Please, pour out the spirit of repentance to each one of those who listen to this word. O Lord! Please, remember the Emperor whose eyes are on You and Christians. I sincerely pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.

O Lord of compassion and mercy! Be glory to the Lord alone forever. Hallelujah.
