Spiritual War in Japan

American demons, the power of darkness, attack Christians, who are mostly common people of American society.

Japanese demons do not attack common people. They are focusing on the political community of Japan. Satan is putting his lies into the minds of elite power holders—politicians, lawmakers, business leaders, and educators, all of whom have Shinto faith.

Shinto has a strong influence over the politics of Japan. The Association of Shinto Shrines（神社本庁）, representing about 80,000 shrines, is one of Japan’s most successful political lobbyist.

ASS has the political wing organization called “Shinto Seiji Renmei（神道政治連盟）”

Many of the nation’s top elected officials are members of Shinto Seiji Renmei. This religious organization is little known to the public because the media do not report their activities.

Both of the Association of Shinto Shrines and Shinto Seiji Renmei promote the politics based on Shinto Spirits.

There is another State Shinto-advocating religious organization. This lobby group is called Nippon Kaigi, or Japan Conference（日本会議).

Nippon Kaigi are little known to the public because the mainstream media do not report their activities.

Similar to Shinto Seiji Renmei, Nippon Kaigi elaborate the politics based on Shinto Spirits. Their hidden agenda is 1) to restore the status of the emperor, 2) to revise the current Constitution, 3) to make Yasukuni Shrine the highest shrine in Japan, 4) to teach children “Japanese spiritual values.“

They are trying to restore what was removed by the U.S. Occupation reforms,” explains Mark Mullins, director of the Japan Study Center at the University of Auckland (David McNeil, Special to Japan Times, 11/23/2013)

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was a special adviser to Nippon Kaigi, and a Chairman to Shinto Seiji Renmei and the Association of Shinto Shrines.

Abe was an avid Shinto worshipper. In Postwar Japan, Abe became the first prime minister to attend the Sengyo no Gi at Ise Shrine, the most important ceremony in Shinto, which is held to transfer the symbol of the shrine’s deity between buildings.

Abe wanted to revise the 1949 Constitution and the education law, which undervalues patriotism. He did not articulate his beliefs clearly, but his behaviors show his determination for restoring “Japanese spiritual values based on Shintoism.”

Shinzo Abe was shot to death on 8 July 2022 while delivering a campaign speech for a Liberal Democratic Party candidate in Nara City.

The assassin’s motive is said to be a grudge against Unification Church, with which Abe was connected.

Shinto has a growing influence in politics of Japan. Abe was not the only one driven by Shinto faith.

Satan is aiming for the politicians with Shinto faith, who want to restore Japanese spiritual values based on Shintoism.”
