When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. The first sign - the Earth will spin faster. The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent. - banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist - Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance. - „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“ mdmlastprophet.com/masonry-has-infiltrated-my-church-on-earth-and-soon-the-schism-as-foretold-will-create-division-and-disquiet-amongst-my-faithful-servants/ mdmlastprophet.com/arab-uprising-will-spark-global-unrest-italy-will-trigger-fall-out/ The Book of Truth

I'm pretty sure Japan made a statement at some point that they'd arrest him on sight if he ever came to Japan again. Also their policing/legal system is such that once they want to arrest you are pretty fucked but if you are causing some kind of scene on the street be it your really drunk or just a dickhead like Logan their police are trained to deescalate the situation and keep the peace rather than arrest everyone.
