The 5th Period of the Independent Era of Philippine History:
The 3 Congregations
At the time of the great convergence of regions into 1 strong nation
And the great coalescence of nations into 1 powerful region
A histrionic assembly of great religions takes place
A dramatic gathering never before in the history of human race
The Religions of Abraham
Judaism, Christianity, Islam
Altogether sing a song of glory
To the One God Almighty
The Religions of India
Those of Guru Nanak, Mahavira & Krishna
Altogether sing a song of glory
To the One God Almighty
The Religions of Caodaism
Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism
Altogether sing a song of glory
To the One God Almighty
This is the 5th Period of the Independent Era – The 3 Congregations
They come together with Baha'is & other 1 God religions
This is the Divine Coalition that fosters harmonious unity
God shows in the Philippines that He is the One God of humanity.

Snowflakes crowd the sky,

Note:
The old “Sanjo-ohashi Bridge” spanned the Kamo River to Kyoto, the former imperial capital city of Japan during the Edo period, aka the Tokugawa period (1603–1868). Kyoto marked the end of the old walking trail (a 300-mile journey) that existed between it and Edo (Tokyo).
The Edo period was the last era of traditional Japan ruled under the shogunate (military dictatorship) and was a time of peace, political stability, economic prosperity, and cultural and artistic creativity and advancement. During this period, Japan maintained an isolation policy from the outside world. Christianity was banned, and Neo-Confucianism was the prevailing philosophy followed. During this period, the Japanese style of poetry known as the haiku flourished, with the Japanese poet Basho (1644–1694) credited for promoting its style.
To be truly and deeply Confucian,
we don’t need a refined constitution.
Just obey mom and dad.
Choose the good — not the bad.
Serve the Emperor, S/shun revolution.
When thoughts of peace good will toward man
ring out this special day, shall we forget what’s
going on around us?
Life today is a sea with waves rising in ominous
regularity, and break in on the shore of our individual
conscience. Are we prepared to discharge our duty?
We have a Department of War who’s business it is to
wage war; why not have a Department of Peace whose
duty it is to make peace?
The outstanding religion today seems to be Confucianism.
We need reminding from time to time that God is not baffled or bewildered by all of man’s muddles and follies.
Is Religion based on what is grasped by brain or is Religion
based on what is grasped by the heart?
