Pocos países se ponen como ejemplo de crecimiento como el caso Japonés. En efecto, un país agrícola y de campesinos se convirtió, ya en la primera mitad del Siglo XX en una potencia económica y armamentística única, gobernada por el Sinto, el Emperador-Dios, al cual sus súbditos no podían ni mirar a la cara. Luego de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Japón era un país destruido y que había sufrido el bombardeo nuclear. La que en otrora era la potencia más orgullosa y cuyos súbditos se creían seres superiores, descendientes de Dioses y destinados a dominar sobre la faz de la tierra y esclavizar a todos los demás pueblos, era solamente ruina humeante.
La Guerra Fría, el peligro del avance del comunismo y la necesidad de un aliado incondicional motivaron a los Estados Unidos a reconstruir al Japón. Y vaya si Japón creció… más aún de lo que sus “protectores” occidentales hubieran querido y esperado, al punto incluso de superarlos. Japón se había convertido en la mayor potencia mundial a nivel tecnológico que podía existir. Hasta hace unos días, nadie dudaba de la “fuerza de Japón”, de la ideonidad de su pueblo, de la superioridad de su tecnología y todos sus avances, así como de sus altos estándares de vida.
Empero, en tan solo unos minutos todo eso se vino abajo. Un terremoto terrible seguido por un maremoto o tsunami arrastró las “Glorias” del Japón al océano.
Todas esas obras de las que se enorgullecían los Japoneses y que admiraban a millones de personas eran obras del mundo, obras hechas por los hombres. Pero no cualesquier hombres, sino aquellos que especialmente estaban alejados de Dios, muchos de los cuales en su vida habían siquiera oído el nombre del Salvador y otros que, voluntariamente rechazaron, como sus padres a los misioneros. Japón, tierra pagana y alejada del Creador es una muestra de lo vacuas que son las obras de los hombres y su finitud
Porque todo lo que hay en el mundo, los deseos de la carne, la concuspicencia de los ojos y el orgullo de la vida no provienen del Padre, sino que procede del mundo (I Jn II:16)
¿Y a quien buscaron los hombres en las últimas horas? No a Dios, como lo demuestra la cantidad de video o fotos que quieren ver un ovni allí donde había un helicóptero. Ellos no entendieron que fue Dios, en su inmenso poder el que hizo temblar la tierra y el mar arrastrar esas obras que procedían del mundo llevando a millones al abismo. Porque ¿Quién puede negar que Dios de haber querido hubiera detenido el terremoto? ¿Quién puede negar que el mismo no es una señal de Dios, de lo colmada que está la copa de la Ira? ¿Ac aso no es Dios quien controla la naturaleza? ¿No es acaso el Señor el dueño de la vida? Oímos a los “líderes” de las religiones pseudo-cristianas decir “oramos por los muertos”. ¿Qué oración es válida por aquellos que estaban condenados por ser negadores del Dios verdadero? ¿Acaso somos más compasivos que Dios?
No, quienes murieron siendo paganos e infieles son la prueba de la justicia de Dios. Empero con aquellos (pocos) que estaban en estado de gracia, que habían renacido del agua y del espíritu (Juan III, 6) y que estaban en la Verdad, que es el mismo Cristo , mostró la grandeza de su misericordia.
Oremos para encontrarnos entre los predestinados.
Tuesday, March 8, 2011In midst of demographic collapse, Japan approves ‘morning after’ pill by Thaddeus BaklinskiTOKYO, Mon Mar 7, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – At same same time as Japan is suffering rapid dmeographic collapse, the country’s Ministry of Health has approved the sale of the NorLevo brand of the abortifacient “emergency contraceptive.”A press release from the drug’s manufacturer in Japan, the Sosei Co., Ltd., said the biopharmaceutical company was granted approval for its emergency contraceptive pill by the Japan Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare on February 23, making it the first ‘morning after’ pill available in Japan.Sosei acquired the exclusive distribution rights to the product in Japan and Australia from Laboratoire HRA Pharma in April 2001. NorLevo was first launched in Europe in 1999 and is currently approved for use in some 50 countries.The pills will be marketed in Japan by ASKA Pharmaceutical, which is expected to launch the product in the middle of May 2011.The pill’s developer and manufacturer, European pharmaceutical company HRA Pharma, states on its website that the active ingredient in the pill, levonorgestrel, works by means of “several mechanisms … such as impairment of ovulation, or modification of the uterine lining. In any case, emergency contraception takes effect before the implantation of the egg in the uterus.”The phrase “the modification of the uterine lining” indicates that, as with other “emergency contraceptive” drugs, one mechanism of the drug is to ensure that the womb is made hostile to a fertilized embryo, ensuring that the newly conceived human life will be unable to implant, and will therefore die.The Japanese distributor states that the NorLevo pill is to be “taken within 72 hours after unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure to prevent unwanted pregnancy.” While HRA Pharma claims that the drug is 95% effective if taken within 24 hours, this drops to 85% within 48 hours, and 58% if taken within 72 hours.HRA Pharma notes on its website that the known side effects include “nausea and vomiting, dizziness, fatigue, headache, lower abdominal pain, breast tenderness, and vaginal bleeding.”Numerous studies have linked contraceptive drugs to greater health risks for users. A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine states that women using pills containing levonorgestrel were 2.4 times more likely to have a heart attack as non-users.In 2010 Japan recorded 1.07 million births and 1.19 million deaths — the highest number of deaths since 1947 when the post-war health ministry began keeping records — resulting in a net loss of population.With Japan’s well-below-replacement-level birth rate, and an ever-increasing number of deaths, the country’s population figures showed a decline of 123,000 in 2010, the fourth consecutive year of demographic collapse.In November 2010, The Economist magazine noted, “Japan is heading into a demographic vortex. It is the fastest-aging society on Earth and the first big country in history to have started shrinking rapidly from natural causes.”The causes that the Economist calls “natural” include artificial contraception and abortion, as well as a tendency to later marriage or for the country’s young people to remain single.http://angelqueen.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36418
