Look Up, Not Around

Not everyone who says the word “God” and who quotes a Bible verse is trustworthy. It is tempting to be distracted by public figures and celebrities who have PR teams to craft a certain brand and image they want to market to you.

No matter how eloquent or charismatic these people are, don’t let their prominent activities and dialogues distract you from Jesus and what God is doing in the world.

When your heart is concerned with the things of the world, you will be weighed down by all sorts of manifestations of sin in the flesh.

With social media, our generation of people are able to know what is going on around us in a much greater scale than ever before. This means fear, worry, jealous, discouragement multiplied many times over.

In these end times there are many things you can focus on that will make you have a sense of dread for the future.

“But when these things begin to happen, look up, and lift up your heads, because your redemption is near.”” (Luke‬ ‭21:28‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

However, Jesus told us to look up and be excited for our imminent bodily redemption and to be prepared to meet Him in the air at any time.

When you spend your energy, resources and time on mere men—public figures and celebrities, you will be drained. They cannot give you true answers, and they can’t supply you with true solutions.

But when you focus on Jesus, everything you give as unto Him will be multiplied back to you manifold. As you behold Him, you are transformed from glory to glory.

There’s no such thing as having too much of Jesus; the more the better. Give yourself a break and turn to Jesus now. Still your heart from the cares and noise of this world, and allow Jesus to give you true rest!

The Name “Wonderful”

“Then Manoah said to the Angel of the LORD, “What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?” And the Angel of the LORD said to him, “Why do you ask My name, seeing it is wonderful?”” ‭‭(Judges‬ ‭13:17-18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬)

Yahweh took the form of an angel, appeared to Manoah and revealed His name as “Wonderful”.

The prophet Isaiah prophesied that “Wonderful” would be born to mankind. As a Man He was born and as a Son of God, He was given to us.

“For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, on David’s throne, and on his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from that time on, even forever. The zeal of Yahweh of Armies will perform this.” ‭‭(Isaiah‬ ‭9:6-7‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

This child “Wonderful” is destined to rule on David’s throne forever. He has been given the authority already, but then fulfillment of it will be in the future.

The following passage almost mirrors the one above. It reveals the name of the child who is called “Wonderful”.

“Behold, you will conceive in your womb, and give birth to a son, and will call his name ‘Jesus.’ He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father, David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever. There will be no end to his Kingdom.”” ‭‭(Luke‬ ‭1:31-33‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

His name is “Jesus”. In the original Hebrew, “Yeshuah”.

Now we know who “Wonderful” is. This word in the Hebrew, “pele” has the meaning of miraculous signs and wonders too. Miracles happen in Jesus’ name.

He is also Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace.

Counselor: through His Spirit, Jesus is our parakletos (in Greek), the one who is close enough to our situation to make a judgment call.
He helps us in all situations in our life, and is our defense lawyer when the devil tries to accuse us based on false evidence.

Mighty God: Jesus is God. He is not just a Man—He is both God and Man.

Everlasting Father: As Creator of all things, Jesus is our Father—He made us. As Man, He is our Bridegroom. As God, He is our Father.

Prince of Peace: Peace is what characterizes Jesus’ kingdom. He is not the author of chaos or confusion. Wherever Jesus’ reign is established, there is peace—wholeness, love, health, freedom and no lack in any way.

This Christmas, as we remember Jesus’ birth, let’s not stop there. His birth as a Man showed His commitment to save us, but it was His death that actually saved us.

Through faith in Him, He has become Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace to us!

The Deep Revelations of Melchizedek

“Having been made perfect, he became to all of those who obey him the author of eternal salvation, named by God a high priest after the order of Melchizedek. About him we have many words to say, and hard to interpret, seeing you have become dull of hearing. For although by this time you should be teachers, you again need to have someone teach you the rudiments of the first principles of the revelations of God. You have come to need milk, and not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is not experienced in the word of righteousness, for he is a baby. But solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil.” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭5:9-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There are revelations about Melchizedek that spiritually immature believers aren’t ready to accept nor understanding because they aren’t established in the basic Gospel truth about how righteousness comes about: by faith in Jesus and His finished work at the cross, not by the works of the Law.

For those who are ready to receive, consider this passage:

“For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of God Most High, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him, to whom also Abraham divided a tenth part of all (being first, by interpretation, “king of righteousness”, and then also “king of Salem”, which means “king of peace”; without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God), remains a priest continually. Now consider how great this man was, to whom even Abraham, the patriarch, gave a tenth out of the best plunder. They indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest’s office have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though these have come out of the body of Abraham, but he whose genealogy is not counted from them has accepted tithes from Abraham, and has blessed him who has the promises. But without any dispute the lesser is blessed by the greater. Here people who die receive tithes, but there one receives tithes of whom it is testified that he lives.” ‭‭(Hebrews‬ ‭7:1-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The author is about to reveal the deep revelations about Melchizedek that only spiritually mature Christians can accept and understand.
The name Melchizedek in Hebrew means “king of righteousness”.
He is also the king of Salem (the old name for Jerusalem) which means peace (shalom) in Hebrew.

Who is this mysterious priest to God that was appointed before the Old Covenant of the Law was even given?
He is without parents or genealogy, meaning he wasn’t born—he’s not human.
He has no beginning of days or end of life meaning he is an eternal being who wasn’t created and cannot die—in other words, he is God. Even angels are created beings.

Melchizedek blessed Abraham—he didn’t curse Abraham or impose any laws on him.
We learn that Melchizedek’s priesthood is about righteousness, peace and blessing.
Melchizedek remains a priest continually—an unbroken, unending priesthood.
The author seems to be leading the recipients of this letter to conclude themselves that Melchizedek is Yahweh—the eternal Word of God and pre-incarnate Christ.

Therefore Melchizedek is not a name, but one of Yahweh’s titles that tells us about Himself.
Note that Jesus will be the King of Jerusalem in the Millennium, as well as in the eternal city of New Jerusalem, so He is the eternal King of Salem.

Abraham seems to have had a revelation that Melchizedek is the eternal God, therefore recognizing Him, he gave a tithe to Melchizedek as an act of worship.
Abraham tithed long before the Law was ever given, so he tithed voluntarily out of having a revelation, not because he was forced or threatened with a curse.
In contrast, the Levitical priesthood made up of mortal men collected tithes from Israel because of the commandment of the Law.
It is greater to tithe voluntarily out of faith rather than to tithe under compulsion out of duty.

Aside from this, Melchizedek came to Abraham with bread and wine—a picture of the Lord’s Supper.

“Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine: and he was priest of God Most High. He blessed him, and said, “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth: and blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” Abram gave him a tenth of all.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭14:18-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The deep revelations of Melchizedek are this:
1. Jesus is Melchizedek. He is always the high priest to God—before His incarnation, after His incarnation and forever.

2. Tithing is an act of worship to declare that Jesus is great. It also proclaims His resurrection from the dead—that He is alive forevermore. Tithing is the way of receiving God’s blessing of provision.

3. The Lord’s Supper is a meal of blessing that proclaims Jesus’ death at the cross. The Lord’s Supper is the way of receiving God’s blessing of health and healing.

"Shiro-Nuri" (painted in white) artist MINORI interview & June 2014 exhibition

Minori is a Shiro-Nuri (painted in white) makeup artist who uses Japanese traditional Shiro-Nuri techniques to express nature-centered themes since 2009.
Her art is not limited to photos, she is herself a living work of art, exhibiting her Shiro-Nuri makeup as a fashion style in everyday life. She calls this style "Monshiro-Joh", which would mean "Miss Small-White" (a play of words with "Monshiro-Choh" which means Small Cabbage White butterfly).

Shiro-Nuri is a Japanese traditional makeup style, and is used by Geisha and actors of Kabuki for a very long time.

Since the Meiji era (1868-1912) the Japanese arts have been greatly influenced by the Fine Arts from the occident,
and started moving from simple handicrafts to fine arts, and lately with the new technologies Japanese arts start another transformation.

creating decorations as I desire, like a canvas.
People do get scary
I do not care about the criticism
There are clothes I want wear, and I do my make-up accordingly, so with the white painting I also wear it as a fashion.
I truly like the Gothic and the Lolita, and since those types of clothes are decorated, or should I say, the decorations are very detailed, there was a part of me which said it does not match very well with my looks.
During that time, I was not creating, but the desire to express my originality grew more and more. Thus, I started creating on my own or re-make, and I had continued to change my make-up accordingly.
When my face is white, I am able to change the decoration or create a new face like a canvas.
I brought in my favorite "nature" aspect, and gave it more originality.

When my face is white, I am able to change the decoration or create a new face like a canvas.
I brought in my favorite "nature" aspect, and gave it more originality.

I have different mindsets on fashion photos and art photos. The fashion is based on purely for my enjoyment, but the art photos is an experiment on how much I can express on one theme of nature. And, based on that nature theme, I make my own costume or tell the photographer on how I want to shoot the photos and create something together.
It does make people scary.
The white painting. Yes, when the face is white, people tell me I look dead or it looks creepy, but other than that I do not have any problems.
I have this pure feeling of loving it, and I have a strong feeling of expressing through this white painting style, and it is the strongest thing I want to do in my life. Although others may call it creepy, I do not care much. Seeking what I want to do and finding the meaning of my life is what keeps me going despite the criticism.
This exhibition is called "HYOH-BYOH" (vast and indistinct). It is an exhibition of masterly art of selected artists who create by hand, which is analog but very detailed work.
I was invited by Ikeuchi-san, the curator who thought my make-up to be great and eye catching. Based on the theme of nature becoming visible from the inner face is the main theme. The title is "metabolism". The image I have is absorbing and releasing new things in and out of your self.
It seems there is a body mechanism of blinking without consciousness. I believe in that short moment appears the true nature within me. So, I shot with the theme of nature coming out and disappearing every time I blink my eyes.
The art works have been taken in 4 patterns.
From the top, "sun" "plants" "water" and "earth"
From the left is shown the "sleep" "awakening" "enlightenment" "death".
I am not only changing my make-up, but also my hair as well.
One of the themes is the "sun" from its "awakening" until its death.
This took us a whole day to photo shoot. Starting from the very first status of sleep, I added more make-up and finalized it. It goes same with the hair where I arrange using one whole thing on the same day and at the end, accordingly with "death", I either burn it or spray paint it.
