HERB KEINON: China is likely to emerge stronger, the US weaker.
Italy is getting assistance not from the EU, but rather from China and Cuba. 
Rampant globalization likely will be dialed back, and the individual state will regain ascendancy.

מִשְׂרַד הַבְּרִיאוּת: If you don’t genuinely have to fly ~ don’t do so.

Paul Wu Translated by Charlie Li: Although the Jews are very religious in their beliefs, they still rely on the Law, not on salvation. Therefore if Christians truly love the Jews, instead of passionately admiring their country and religion, they should pray for their salvation and hope that they will soon realize that Jesus is the Messiah whom they have been waiting for.

AARON REICH: Teachers have found it a struggle to teach classes, remotely, and are using a variety of different tools to adapt to the lack of a classroom environment.

CHRISTINA HO: This is hilarious

NICK COHEN: All flights from China should be stopped.



OFER: There are no people in the streets. A strange feeling. Now the city is closed. It is impossible to go out especially after the announcement that more cities are being blocked. I am under siege along with another 10 million residents until the anger dissipates and the new virus disappears.
TAMAR KADARI: The daughters' true intent was not to lie with their father, on whom they had no sexual designs, but to save the world from total devastation. The daughters thought that the entire world had been laid waste, as had happened during the Flood, since they saw no living souls wherever they went; they said: "The Holy One, blessed be He, has rescued us so that the world will exist through us, so that the human race shall continue." Thus, from a historical perspective, this act was essential for the future advent of the Messiah.

ISAO KIKUCHI: In Japanese society, it is difficult to find tangible success in missionary activities.




坂本龍
DEVIN WATKINS: Early this week, the government announced that it would recognize the Pope with the Japanese characters 教皇, transliterated as Kyō-kō, rather than 法王, pronounced Hōō. Kyō-ō means something like “Emperor of Teaching or Doctrine”. The previous Hōō is similar to the term used for the highest ranking official in Buddhism, and means “Emperor of Law”.



TIMOTHY NIROZZI: On Sundays, Raniel Berdos can be found strolling the aisles of St. Mary's Cathedral in Tokyo. Raniel is a missionary to Japan, from the Philippines. By the time the church is beginning to clear out, he's been approached by no less than a dozen parishioners -- many of them older “Church ladies,” eager to talk about this or that happening behind the scenes at the parish. 🎥

SEBASTIAN ZIMMERMAN DUTERTE: Today, for the first time, I come, here, before You, as a Public Servant. It is an appelation which is New to me, but which I am very eager to assume. I come here ~ armed ~ with my fervent desire to serve.

ADAM RASGON: Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו reportedly planned to attend the enthronement as well but later decided not to travel to Tokyo amid the ongoing political stalemate in Jerusalem that has left him unable to form a governing coalition.








ISHIKAWA AKITO: The missionaries were not simply men of religion, but political figures with an important economic and military influence. They rapidly became a powerful faction that was impossible to ignore.

YASUO WATANABEIt could become Dangerous.
YASUO WATANABE: the emperor might be used. The right wing element remains very strong in Japanese society. Most people are of a conservative mind and they can be easily swayed, again.

PROPORTIONATE ACCOUNTABILITY
KRISTINE SABILLO: Chinese state media reported that it is a new coronavirus. 
Its name is derived from the Latin word corona, which means halo or crown, because of the appearance of the virus under a microscope.

ISHIKAWA AKITO: In fact, the relationship between the Japanese people and Christianity is still quite short. It is only since the enactment of the current Constitution following World War II that true freedom of religion has been guaranteed in Japan. Perhaps a wider-ranging, more comprehensive engagement with the religion still lies in the future.
AMBETH R. OCAMPO: Seventy-five years ago today saw the destruction of Manila, and with it thousands of civilians murdered by Japanese soldiers who, facing sure death or capture, decided to drag everyone down into hell with them. No one was spared: the old, the infirm, women, children, and even defenseless infants. Germans allied with Japan were not exempt: They were killed seeking refuge in the Spanish Consulate, the Casino Español, and the German Club. 
It was the Japanese who entered the Red Cross and killed patients, doctors, and nurses. More than 90 percent of churches or religious buildings in the city were destroyed, even if these held no military purpose and were filled with refugees.
ADEPTUS ASTARTES: Greetings from the Philippines !
STRANGE LOVE: may the sun always rise in the east

ISHIKAWA AKITO: Christianity in those days was not simply a religion, but a social and economic force with the potential to shake the foundations of Japanese politics and society.
