Those who capitalize on~

Victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake and people all over Japan felt sorrow and anxiety but there are some people who capitalize on this emergency. They try to expand their organization or collect money. They say, “Earthquake hit as Mr. ~ prophesied.”, “The earthquake was supposed to hit capital area but because of Mr. ~’s prayed it moved to the ocean so give us offering.”, or “I received a prophecy, earthquake and terrorism will hit Tokyo on certain day.” These are common maneuver for cult groups. Also, some other groups use the Bible and say, “Join Mr. ~’s meeting and pray together to move the Second Coming of Jesus forward.” or “Jesus Christ will come back soon.”

Surely, the end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ will come. Also, it’s important for us to keep awake, to pray, and gather but if you are a normal Christian, there is something else we have to share first no matter what happens. That is “Jesus Christ is the one who forgives our sin and is our Savior.” Sharing the gospel to the whole world across time and borders is a mission for churches who are the brides of Jesus.
