As the saying goes, time and tide wait for no man, and now we are at the very beginning of the year 2026. Will the Second Coming of the Christ become a reality this year at long last? Who knows? The so-called Rapture would occur at any moment, but, aside from that, the Second Coming will almost certainly not be realized immediately on the grounds that the Third Temple, the completion of which will herald the beginning of the 7-year Tribulation, hasn't yet started to be built in the Holy City. I, therefore, understand that we Christians will probably have some time left to enjoy life upon earth.
But of course we live not only to enjoy life but to fulfill our respective duties in it. So, not to waste the very limited time left for me to live, I've made a short list of my new year's resolutions for 2026. I'll make it public here because I don't find it to be anything too private to be open to the world. In fact, I even strongly hope that as many Christians in the world as possible will be very interested in the validity of Genesis 12:3 and earnestly cooperate to bless Israel and the Jewish people to extinguish the satanic fire of antisemitism from the face of the earth; for the existence of the Jewish people in the Holy Land is said to be the prerequisite for the Second Coming of the Messiah.
My new year's resolutions for MMXXVI:
1. Start on an autobiographical novella to show the world how amazingly valid Genesis 12:3 is.
2. Pore over the Bible, 'Man's Search For Meaning' by Viktor Frankl, 'The Intelligent Investor' by Benjamin Graham, 'Diplomacy' by Henry Kissinger, etc.
3. Invest as much money as I can for the benefit of the Jewish people upon earth.
4. Learn Hebrew, Greek and Latin.
5. Become a calligrapher.
But what in the world is it that has led me to become such an uncommon judeophile in Japan? It's no exaggeration to say that this is something to be regarded as a miracle because most people in Japan are deplorably indifferent to any matters related to Israel and the Jewish people if not antisemitic. As far as I can analyze myself, there are four factors that have connected me with Philosemitism: utilitarian calculation, religious duty, historical repentance and pledge for the future.
Utilitarian calculation
Since I know how valid Genesis 12:3 has been for as long as four millennia now, I find it extremely absurd to curse - and not to bless - Israel and the Jewish people.
Religious duty
Being an evangelical Christian Zionist looking forward to the Second Coming of the Christ, I firmly believe it's my religious duty to do anything possible to bless Israel and the Jewish people.
Historical repentance
In September 1940 Imperial Japan, obviously not even knowing anything about the validity of Genesis 12:3, was so impetuous as to form an axis of evil with Nazi Germany, which would be responsible for the Holocaust (1941-45). Prince Fumimaro Konoe, the then Prime Minister, subsequently committed suicide immediately after WWII to avoid being punished as a Class A war criminal and I just can't help seeing his self-destruction exactly as the consequence of an application of the aforementioned biblical verse to his godless decision. And it's also no wonder that towards the end of the bloodiest war in human history two A-bombs were dropped on Japan, which almost immediately afterwards surrendered to the United States, which had already been under Jewish control.
Pledge for the future
Never again shall we Japanese stand with the anti-Semites. Instead, come what may, we shall always stand with Israel and the Jewish people. Those who have the audacity to say no to it should go to hell because they are evil-minded children of Satan. I'm Japanese by birth, but I declare that I'd never stand with the Japanese people if they degraded themselves by becoming anti-Semites. What's the point of running the risk of being cursed by the Almighty? I see no point whatsoever in it.
