Eiko, a nurse and mother. A couple on their honeymoon Armed with a couple dozen of "Watch out for 666!" tracts and Activated magazines, I began another hitchhike adventure to Tokyo which is located approximately 300 kilometers (188 miles) from my home. All of the 8 drivers who picked me up received the tracts, but only half of them knew that the number 666 represents the Antichrist of Revelation chapter 13. The ones who knew about 666 said they learned it from the Hollywood film, "Omen". Two of the drivers were ladies. One of them, Eiko, is a young mother who is a nurse working in a hospital. Her 6 month old baby was in the back seat. (Photo above) A couple on their honeymoon traveling to Yokohama took me most of the way to Tokyo. I hope to see them again because they live in a town near my home. A man with a beard, Mr. Tomita, took me most of the way on my return. It's not common for Japanese men to wear beards unless they are either artists, musicians, or have some type of skill that permits them a bit of freedom from conventional Japanese society. Mr. Tomita makes hand man leather goods. Mr. Tomita took me to a city about 60 kilometers from home and dropped me off on the main highway going toward home. I thought to take a train the rest of the way, but the train station was a bit too far away to walk to. I could have hitchhiked to the station but because it was only 4PM and still bright outside, I opted to go for the gold and hitchhike a bit further up the road. I was glad I did because a young man, Mr. Wada who is a university student studying biotechnology picked me up. I love meeting highly educated people, and especially those who study something related to God's creation because it is easy to expose the lies of the doctrine of Darwinism to them. Mr. Wada acknowledged that some branches of science, especially biology and astronomy, are based on unprovable postulations. He said he chose to major in biotechnology because it is the most mysterious branch of science. He agreed that DNA could not have be made by chance, and conceded it had to be created by a Supreme Being. I explained who Jesus is, why He died on the cross, and the responsibility man has toward God, namely to acknowledge Him, thank Him, and accept His Son Jesus as their savior. All these concepts are new to most Japanese, but they do readily acknowledge that if God is the Creator of all things, they should say "thank you" to Him for their many blessings.
