REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Thirty Three - Sitting on Many Waters - Conclusion

 Shinto Japan provides a notable example of this. The indoctrinated Japanese soldier regarded it as  the highest honor to give his life for the emperor-the supreme Shinto god.  During World War II, some 1,500,000 Japanese soldiers died in battle, almost to a man, they looked at surrender as dishonorabl.  But as a consequence  of Japan's defeate, Emperor Hirohito was compelled to renounce his claim to divinty. This resulted in a notable withdrawing of the "waters" supporting   the Shinto segment of Babylon the Great-alas-after shinotism had sanctioned the shedding of buckets of blood in the Pacific war theater!  This weakening of Shinot  influence also opened the way  in recent years for more tha 120,000 Japanese, the great majority  of whom were formerly  Shintoists and Buddhists, to become dedicated, baptized ministers of the Sovereig Lord Jehovah.
