The direct word from God
      to present-day humankind
 
After Jesus Christ's death, although his apostles spread his teachings in every place, they were edited and became the New Testament. The Revelation to John was edited as the one part.





 In those days, Jesus Christ showed various miracles to people who were troubled and under oppression by the Roman Empire, and he told to them about the actual existence of God, and about the love which is the essence of God. A great portion of them were not able to read characters, or those who had no formal education. Therefore, he taught the laws of God (the teachings of God) to them using many easy allegories.

 However, although the allegories may become the big power for making many men understand the laws of God, it simultaneously has the limit in the depth of understanding. Moreover, although I have heard that the term of his mission work was about three years, it was a very short time.

 Therefore, probably, Jesus was not able to leave sufficient teachings, and I cannot think that his apostles deeply understood the various laws of God. 

 Although John had been arrested by a government official of the Roman Empire, at a certain time, he was led by Jesus Christ who rode on the clouds, and his astral body left his flesh and he ascended to Heaven. Then, he was shown humankind's future in front of God, and was ordered to describe it and hand it down to the future generations by God. This is "The Revelation to John." 

Although Jesus did not teach the words of God to people as they were, he taught them using easy allegories. However, in "The Revelation to John" the word of God was described as it was.

This is the point in which it greatly differs compared with other portions in the New Testament, and if we do not stick to the prophecy of the future, it is the important portion in which we can directly touch the words of God. The words of God have been mostly untouched and told to man, without not being bent by man's shallow idea or being deleted, and then I think that this is the miracle.

 Therefore, many important laws of God are sleeping in the other portions except the predictions. In the description of this book, I explained not only about the future predictions but also about the laws of God, using much space.

 Although there are some greatly different points compared with the doctrine of Christianity, we could study many laws from the words of God in the Revelation. If you read the description of this book with such a viewpoint, I think that you will discover many important matters.
