There is considerable evidence showing that, following catastrophic disasters such as the devastating tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, the historic earthquake in Sichuan, China, in 2008, and the worst earthquake and tsunami in Japan’s history in 2011, the Buddha statues remained steadfast and unmoved.
In July 2024, as the world eagerly awaited the Olympics, a fierce storm struck suddenly, submerging the city. Overflowing rivers painted an eerie picture of the Eiffel Tower by night as if nature itself was delivering a harsh warning. A rare tornado swept through, wreaking havoc on Paris. Torrential rains poured from the sky, causing floodwaters to rise and inundate streets, homes, and businesses. The bustling Champs-Élysées, once vibrant and bright, now stands desolate and engulfed in chaos.
The authorities have issued emergency alerts, urging residents to stay indoors. Sirens, urgent bulletins, and a pervasive sense of anxiety have created a tense atmosphere. Emergency services are working tirelessly to rescue those trapped and restore order. For the faithful, the timing and severity of this disaster raise many profound questions.
Cases of offending God often stem from humanity’s misunderstanding or confusion between creative art and traditional religious values, inadvertently diminishing the sanctity of deep faiths.
The organizers of the Paris 2024 Olympics have chosen to include what can only be described as a mockery of one of the holiest moments in Christian history: the Last Supper. In this obscene re-creation, a Drag Queen is positioned to mimic Leonardo Da Vinci’s iconic painting, with a performer wearing a large silver hat resembling a halo, clearly intended to represent our Lord Jesus Christ. The event goes beyond mere religious mockery, filled with imagery and symbols of satan. The skull motif representing death and the eerie red lighting are not just artistic choices; they are deliberate allusions to the occult.
The purpose of such mockery can only be understood when we recognize the profound spiritual battle that is unfolding.
They can openly mock God without facing serious consequences, and they exploit this to the fullest. This phenomenon is not new. Politicians do it, celebrities do it, and the media does it. However, here’s something crucial to understand: everything you are witnessing is a deliberate ritual. When the devil seeks to fully infiltrate a nation or advance a propaganda agenda, he often employs one of two strategies. The first strategy involves conducting a complete ritual to invite or welcome his demonic forces into the country at a high level. These are known as dominions.
When mocking Lord Jesus or supporting values that ridicule religion, do you realize that, on a spiritual level, you are implicitly aligning with dark forces whose consequences could overwhelm an entire nation?
The long-term consequences of such rituals are that the country becomes immersed in these dark forces, leading to a multitude of emerging problems. You will start to hear about economic decline, conflicts, and all sorts of unimaginable troubles. Historically, whenever such events occur, there is always a subsequent phase, whether months or years later, that leads to chaos in the nation. These are not innocent rituals; they are used to open the door to dark forces and are conducted openly, so that people inadvertently consent to their terms.
Could the storm in Paris, occurring at a time when the world is closely watching the city, be one of the Judgments? A catastrophic disaster like this compels us to reconsider what is truly within human control. Preparations for the Olympics, meticulous plans, and modern facilities all become useless in the face of nature’s wrath.
For thousands of years, the worship of deities and Buddhas has been deeply ingrained in human consciousness, becoming a sacred part of spiritual life. We believe in these mystical tales because Buddha statues are not merely religious symbols; they hold profound meanings that go beyond ordinary understanding.
There is considerable evidence showing that, following catastrophic disasters such as the devastating tsunami in Indonesia in 2004, the historic earthquake in Sichuan, China, in 2008, and the worst earthquake and tsunami in Japan’s history in 2011, the Buddha statues remained steadfast and unmoved. This suggests that the Buddha statues may embody a profound spiritual power beyond human understanding.
Ancient Chinese beliefs held that slandering monks or showing disrespect toward deities and Buddhas would lead to retribution. However, during China’s Cultural Revolution from 1966 to 1976, widespread destruction of temples and Buddha statues was carried out by atheists. These blasphemous actions not only damaged cultural heritage and harmed the spirituality of the nation but also led those involved to face swift and severe consequences.
In 1960, three regiments of the Red Guards were ordered to destroy an 18-meter-tall statue of Maitreya Buddha at the Yonghe Temple in Beijing, China. As they prepared to carry out this act of disrespect, retribution struck immediately, a consequence of their lack of reverence for the Divine.
The first person climbed up the scaffold and raised an axe to cut the statue’s cables. However, the axe fell, not striking the iron cables, but instead injuring the person’s own thigh. The second person also attempted to chop at the cables but missed with every swing, eventually falling to the ground and dying on the spot. The third person, witnessing this, was so terrified that they could not get up. It is said that none of the three survived. After this, no one dared to tamper with the Buddha statue again, and it remained untouched, preserved in peace to this day.
In another instance, in the Xingguo Temple in Shandong, China, there was a famous 1.8-zhang-tall (about 6-meter-tall) Buddha stone statue, known as the Zhangba (zhang eight) Buddha statue.
One day, the local Cultural Revolution leader was adamant about destroying the Zhangba Buddha statue. He ran around frantically, screaming in madness. The villagers dared not intervene, fearing arrest and persecution that could affect their entire families.
The leader ordered someone to shoot at the statue’s eyes. After that, a group of people were called in to smash the statue with hammers, but the statue remained intact. Enraged, he then brought in a tractor, wrapped a rope around the statue’s neck, and started the tractor. As a result, the statue’s head was pulled off and fell to the ground.
Not long after, the person who had shot at the statue’s eyes became blind due to stone fragments hitting his own eyes. The leader himself, shortly after, fell from the tractor, which ran over his neck with its rear wheel, causing his head to be severed from his body, resulting in instant death.
The immediate retribution faced by a Chinese man named Wang Dezhong, who participated in the destruction during this revolutionary movement, is a chilling tale. At that time, Wang Dezhong was only 30 years old and working in Linqing County, China. Blinded by atheistic beliefs, he engaged in blasphemous acts against the deities and Buddhas.
Feng led a group to destroy Buddha statues and Buddhist scriptures at the Relic Pagoda. One day, he looked up and saw the inscription “Namo Amitabha Buddha.” Without much thought, he ordered some young men to smash the inscription. The young men were too frightened to do so, so Feng took it upon himself to climb up and start destroying the characters with a hammer. However, after only a few strikes, he fell headfirst to the ground and died instantly.
These stories are all actual events that occurred during the Cultural Revolution in China when the campaign to destroy the “Four Olds” was launched. This campaign aimed to completely eradicate traditional cultural values, customs, and long-standing religious beliefs. The movement caused immense damage to cultural heritage and sparked outrage among the people.
