Japan is Rebuilding its Ancient Capital
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 09. 2024
- For the majority of the 8th century, Nara was home to Japan’s first permanent capital. Known as Heijō-kyō it was a massive planned city with somewhere between 100,000-200,000 inhabitants. But it was suddenly abandoned when the court moved to what would become Kyoto. Buried under farmlands for over 1,000 years, many remains of this lost city have now been excavated, and some of its most important buildings are being reconstructed. This video showcases several of these projects.

While making this video I kept finding interesting things I wanted to include in the script, but in the end had to cut out a lot because it was getting way too long and because a lot of it wasn’t strictly necessary in order to talk about the reconstructions (which was the intended topic). So I thought I’d briefly mention some of the things I read here instead:
Heijō-kyō wasn’t the first Chinese-style capital built in Japan. That distinction goes to the city of Fujiwara-kyō, about 20 km to the south, at the other end of the Nara Basin. It is actually believed to have been larger than Heijō-kyō in terms of area, but only lasted for sixteen years, between 694 and 710. One of the main roads of this city extended in a straight line all the way to Nara. It had a total width of almost 35 m, and upon reaching the main gate it widened even further, transforming into Suzaku Avenue. As mentioned in the video, the gate was called the Rajō-mon. An equivalent of it also existed in Heian-kyō (Kyoto), which provided the setting and title for Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's short story "Rashōmon". In 1950 it was adapted into the classic film of the same name by Akira Kurosawa.
Before these cities were created, Japanese capitals had consisted of a series of ever-grander 'palace complexes', courts that moved with changes of reign. More than a dozen such transfers of the court have been identified for the period from 593 to 710. There were probably a number of practical reasons for this custom, but it has also been attributed to the Shinto belief that the death of a ruler caused his palace to become polluted. So, to avoid bad luck, it became necessary for his heir to transfer the court to a new, ritually pure location.
The fact that Nara had once been the capital of Japan was never forgotten, but the exact size, layout, and location of major buildings were unknown until the 1850s, when a scholar and government official called Kitaura Sadamasa began to survey the area. He discovered that parts of the grid still survived on the ridges of rice fields and on local roads, and managed to compile a map, estimating what Heijo-kyo had looked like. Sadamasa correctly guessed the location of the Imperial Palace, where Sekino Tadashi would later find the remains of the Second Daigoku-den.
Not long thereafter, in the early 1900s, a preservation movement began to take shape. One of its leaders was a gardener called Tanada Kajūro, who planted many of the old trees that can now be seen in Nara Park (famous for its free-roaming deer). He would dedicate his life to commemorating the Heijō Palace ruins, and at one point advocated the idea of rebuilding the palace as a Shinto shrine. This idea came from Heian Shrine, a copy of the ancient palace in Kyoto, that had been rebuilt in the 1890s as a shrine dedicated to the first and last Emperors that reigned from the city. This scheme never gathered enough support however, and while the preservation efforts were making steady progress in the 1920s, Tanada became embroiled in a controversy related to the project, and chose to commit seppuku to prove his innocence. A statue of him can now be found along the reconstructed Suzaku Avenue, near the entrance of the Palace Complex.
The true scale of the palace was only understood when ongoing excavations began in the 1950s. Before then, a railway line had unknowingly been built over the southern part of the ruins, which still remains today. There have recently been plans to relocate it, but they were put on hold last year by the new governor of Nara Prefecture, over doubts about the financial viability of the project.
Absolutely interesting, loved this video. Got a question, before the great Chinese styled palaces, these moving courts constructed temporary buildings? Are there remains of them? What was the architectural style before the Chinese influence? Many thanks!
The population of London in 1880 was 3.8million…
@@GarfieldRex The buildings could be disassembled and rebuilt somewhere else with relative ease, which made moving a lot more practical. A number of these sites have been excavated, and while I'm not sure what the earliest ones looked like a lot of the later palaces were inspired by Chinese models. Daigoku-den halls can be found by around 600 A.D., but the palace buildings of Fujiwara-kyō were the first to use tiled roofs in the Chinese style. If you want a taste of Japanese architecture prior to Chinese influence then certain types of Shinto architecture, like Shinmei-zukuri, are believed to be very archaic, retaining the basic features of buildings from the Kofun period (250-538 C.E.) The most famous example of this style is Ise Shrine.
@@kingsandthings many thanks for this complete answer 😌 blessings!
I wish the UK had your mindset! Good luck 🏴🇬🇧
This is how you do cultural preservation and restoration. Well done to the people of Nara and Japan.
We need more people but the tax is too high.
🥀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
(People only experience in the last days the reappearance of the Redeemer in the flesh, and they receive the personal work and words of God. This is because the last days are the conclusion of the whole age. These the sum and end of God's six-thousand-year rule plan, and these are the end of mankind's suffering life journey. My work will only last six thousand years, and I will I whose contempt for all mankind will not last more than six thousand years. I will not continue or delay any more: In the last days I will conquer Satan, I will take back all My glory, and I will take back the all the souls on earth that belong to Me so that these sorrowing souls can escape from the sea of suffering, and thus My whole work on earth will be finished. I will only do one thing on earth: I will change mankind, the humanity that is holy, and My faithful city on earth. This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. The spoils of war I have rescued from Satan's domain, and are the only consummation and fruition of My six-thousand-year rule plan. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the universe. I will destroy this ancient, and utterly defilement of mankind, as I destroyed the firstborn sons and cattle in Egypt, leaving only the Israelites, who ate lamb's flesh, drank lamb's blood, and sealed blood of sheep's on the beams of their houses)
Almighty God said
PEOPLE only in the LAST DAYS experience the RE-APPEARANCE of the REDEEMER in the FLESH, and they ACCEPT GOD'S PERSONAL WORKS and WORDS. It will not be two thousand years before the LAST DAYS of the END COME; they are SHORT, as JESUS DID the WORKS during the AGE of GRACE in JUDEA. This is because the LAST DAYS are the CONCLUSION of ALL TIME. These are the FULFILLMENT and the END of the SIX--THOUSAND--YEAR PLAN of GOD'S RULE, and they are the END of HUMANITY'S LIFE JOURNEY of SUFFERING. 🙏
My WORK WILL ONLY LAST SIX THOUSAND YEARS, and I PROMISE THAT EVIL'S HOLD OF ALL HUMANITY WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS either. ☀️
And so timely. I will not continue or delay any longer: In the LAST DAYS I WILL CONQUER SATAN, I WILL RECOVER ALL MY GLORY, and I WILL RECOVER all the SOULS on EARTH that belong to Me so that these suffering SOULS can LOSE in the SEA of SUFFERING, and thus My ENTIRE WORK on EARTH will be FINISHED. From this day forward, I will never again incarnate on earth, and My domineering Spirit will never again work on earth. 🙏
I will only DO one THING on EARTH: I will CHANGE HUMANITY, humanity that is DIVINE, and My FAITHFUL CITY on EARTH. 🌺
But you must know that I will not destroy the whole world, nor will I destroy the whole humanity. I will KEEP the REMAINING PART THREE---the third part that LOVES Me and COMPLETELY SUBMITS to Me, and I will MAKE them fruitful and MULTIPLY in the EARTH as the ISRAELITES DID UNDER the LAW, FEEDING them with Abundant SHEEP and CATTLE and ALL the ABUNDANCES OF THE EARTH. 🌺
This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. 🙏 That mankind will not be harmed, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and they will be the ONLY mankind that WILL REMAIN ON EARTH AFTER I AM VICTORIOUS AGAINST SATAN. This is humanity that I have NOW CONQUERED and GOT MY PROMISE. And so, the humanity conquered in the LAST DAYS is the same humanity that WILL BE SAVED and ACHIEVE My ETERNAL BLESSINGS. 🌺
This will be the only proof of My victory over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan. The SPOILERS of WAR I HAVE SAVED from SATAN'S ATTITUDE, and the ONLY COMPLETION and FRUIT of My SIX-THOUSAND-YEAR REIGN PLAN. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the UNIVERSE. They come from different races, different languages, customs and skin colors, and they are scattered in all countries and denominations around the world, and even in every corner of the WORLD. 🏵️ SOON, they will COME TOGETHER to BUILD THE PERFECT HUMANITY, the meeting of humanity that SATAN'S FORCES CANNOT REACH. 🙏 Those of HUMANITY that I have NOT SAVED and CONQUERED and will SINK SILENTLY in the DEPTH OF THE SEA, and MY BURNING FIRE WILL BURN ETERNALLY. 😪
I will wipe out this old, and utter abomination of mankind, just as I DESTROYED the FIRST-BORN BOYS and cattle in EGYPT, leaving only the ISRAELITES, who EAT lamb's flesh, DRINK sheep BLOOD, and STAMP the BLOOD of the asSHEEP on the beams of their DOORS. 🙏🌷🙏
AREN'T the PEOPLE I CONQUERED and became FAMILY the same PEOPLE who ATE My FLESH as LAMB and I REDEEMED and WORSHIP Me? Aren't they the TYPES of PEOPLE who are always ACCOMPANIED with My GLORY? Are they not without My body, the Lamb, and have quietly sunk into the depths of the sea? Now they oppose Me, and now My words and just like those that Jehovah said to the male children and male grandsons of Israel. BUT HARDNESS IN THE DEPTH of your HEARTS STORES MY WRATH, CAUSES MORE JUDGMENT on your SINS, and more WRATH on your unrighteousness. Who will be saved in My day of wrath, if this is how you treat Me now? ☀️
Whose UNJUSTICE can ESCAPE My EYES of PUNISHMENT? Whose sins can escape the hands of Me, the ALMIGHTY? Whose resistance will escape My judgment, the ALMIGHTY? I, JEHOVAH, am SPEAKING to you, TRIBES of GENTILE FAMILIES, and the WORDS I AM SPEAKING to you are MORE than ALL that was SPOKE in the AGE of LAW and in the AGE of GRACE, but you are more stubborn than all people in Egypt. Are you not storing up My wrath while I PREPARE My REST? How can you get away with nothing?g damage from My Sun, the ALMIGHTY? 🌻
From "The Word Appears in the Flesh"

💌 So everyone is led here! because this is the last day which means the last age and the last salvation the last stage is the AGE OF THE KINGDOM or the age of the word, in His lowered Kingdom "THE CHURCH OF ALMIGHTY GOD" 💐because the purification of God has come to the individual of the spirit of man ("The Parable of the Washing of the Feet" John 13:5-9)... . EVERYONE WHO HAS AN EAR LISTEN TO WHAT THE SPIRIT SAYS TO THE CHURCHES!" (Rev. 2:7,11,17,29 and 3:6,13,22) 🌺
This is what happens when you have a homogenous population with shared roots and history. More people care about their past than not.

Thank you, I'm really glad you liked it. Nara seems like a wonderful place, and I'd love to visit sometime!
Please solve your birth rate problem. With you, your culture and traditions will disappear and also continue teaching younger generations about the culture
It is my dream to visit Nara! The palace, and the garden full of deer. I hope it comes true one day!
I visited Nara when I went to Japan the summer of 2019, whenever I get the chance to revisit Japan I'll definitely come back to Nara. It's such a calming and beautiful place, it really grounded me after visiting Tokyo.
It's the place where I realised how many cultural similarities there are between us Sámi (indigenous people of Northern Norway, northern Sweden, northern Finland and parts of north western Russia) and Japanese people.
I'm the 100th like! Lucky! I will have to visit soon!
It's a surreal feeling, to hear a youtuber abroad talk about this particular place. I went to Heijyo-kyo this May with my father (we're both Japanese, but he was visiting a short time from the US), and when I brought him there, he felt a sense of pride and teared up seeing Suzakumon. Being there in person, it's just so astonishing to see how massive it is, the front courtyard stretched far and there's even small Imperial mound graves nearby as well. On the particular day we went, they had a festival where Empress Koken "returned" to the capital and it was a sight to behold. The vibrant colors harken back to it's Chinese influence, and it just felt so special.
For those who have a chance, I highly recommend coming here, it truly is something special, and at times it's overwhelming to think just how truly massive this capitol city was.
I’ve been myself and adored it! Much better than Tokyo. The deer ate my map, though.

We noticed these restored buildings from the train on our way to/from Nara while on a day trip there earlier this Spring. It was interesting to me how isolated they seemed in the fields, but I didn't give it much thought beyond that. It's exciting to know the scope of the total restoration plans, and especially that even Todaiji may restore one of its insane pagodas. Nanajuu-no-tou I guess it'd be, and the only one in the country I think.
I play a game called.... Onmyoji. This is a different period of the same place, but very similar.
The lesson I learned is that nothing lasts forever, and to have great places we have to consistently and constantly maintain and rebuild them.
And that's not a bad thing, it allows doing so the perpetuation of tradition and building techniques, culture is not the worship of ashes but the maintaining of a fire.
@Game_Hero Not the worship of ashes but the maintenance of fire is a great sentence. You should write a book.
@@akamal92 Altough I didn't come up first with that sentence, thanks!
@Game_Hero you should write anyways. You might be good at it. Who knows?
@@Game_Hero True, I mean Yakushi-ji at 13:10 - where they still kept the old pagoda rather than rebuilding it as a reflection is a good example of this.
Wouldn't it be amazing if every country rebuilds their ancient capitals or at least few sections in modern time. Every city in the world looks boring and similar now.
Rome, Athens and Istanbul are stunning places for this
Well that's mostly true for the US.
And considering it's history yeah no ain't happening
@@n_ex13the US capital has been built around the popular neo-classical designs of the era, NYC’s most iconic buildings are art deco and to some extent baroque, New Orleans has a tendency towards French and Spanish colonial styles, list goes on. The US doesn’t suffer from this effect nearly as much as you think.
@@youthoughtaboutit6946 well that might be true, but well if it isn't a problem in the US really it barely is.
Large parts of Europe maintain a lot of historical buildings
There are buildings in Rome and Istanbul that, if reconstructed, could be incorporated into the modern life of the city as exhibition spaces, museums, or whatever use they are given. We've already seen how the Stoa in Athens, which used to be a ruin, now serves as an exhibition hall. It's a great way to restore meaning and beauty to ruins or ancient buildings, as well as to give cities a unique identity.
Honestly, seeing these reconstructions and preservations in japan annoys me so few countries go to this level of loving its history. Wish other countries did this more often.
reconstruction is part of the Japan traditon, they destroy and rebuild their temples, in the West, reconstruction is not the only way to preserve
@@kiribati9393 That is fair, I am more saying it would be good to have a mixture.
China does the same and being familiar with both styles, and I enjoy how the asian countries give back their ancient glory and educate you as well about things in the west most people wouldn’t even bat an eye at. For example, the colossus of rhodes (there are many other restoration projects as well), but average people dont know shit about rhodes, the base of the knights hospitaller or the colossus. But rebuilding the statue as faithfully as possible (not the splits) could be an incredible boon differentiating rhodes from all the competion of islands and making it unique and capitalizing on that increased attention to educate people. I dont understand the West’s crippling aversion to rebuilding things.
Europe rebuilt after WWII I wont complain that building X wasn’t the original building that person Y shat in
@gamf5996 we don't have to rebuild them as they're still standing, or preserved as archaeological sites.
The building next to my office has a date stone I cant remember if it's the 1500's, or the 1400's, it's not the original facade, but the original structure is still there behind the facade. I think the internal and external features of the building my office is in are victorian, however I expect the building like the rest of the street is far older and has just been given a new facade.
Near my office there is castle Hill which is the mound of earth left from the motte and Bailey built by the Norman's after their invasion in 1066. Around the edges of the park it sits in is a section of the original town wall.
Walk down any British high-street and look up at the 1st floor and you will see the original building/latest facade, many will be 200+ years old.
@@kaneworsnop1007 but many are destroyed, and I meant older monuments that don’t have much left any more and had immense significance, not just a random castle. Nara was a capital and china rebuilt, the purple mountain, the porcelain tower (as a museum), and pretty much half their ancient sites. Maybe it’s because east asian societies built a lot with wood so it had to be replaced often that they are not so against reconstruction. But I bet the colossus of Rhodes the hanging gardens (even if they never existed) or the library of Alexandria / lighthouse, Carthage docks would be amazing to see in person and not just using your imagination.
I lived 15 minutes by walk from the Daigoku-Den. There were also a ton of kofun in my old neighborhood. Basically giant burial mounds surrounded by moats. Literally used to go grocery shopping at a supermarket across the street from the burial mound of an emperor. I really lucked out when the company I worked for assigned me to Nara. I miss it so much
I lived in Saidai-ji for 12 years. I'm guessing the shopping center was Ito-Yokado in Shin-Omiya? I worked for NOVA up until it went bankrupt in the mid 00s and stuck around for several years, working for smaller Ekaiwa. If you lived there between 2004 and 2016 we've probably passed each other on the street or in the station.
@@patrickomeagher9868 Was there from one year from 2013-2014. So yeah, there’s a good chance. I remember an Ito-Yokado in town, but I didn’t live it. I lived in between Yamato-Saidaiji Station and another, smaller station called Amagatsuji. The supermarket and kofun were near the smaller station.
@@GusVIII I lived in Saidaiji-kitamachi in 2013 and 2014, near Akishino temple, but my first place was in Saidaiji-minamimachi, between Saidaiji temple and Amagatsuji, from 04-08. That kofun was one of my favorites. It's actually at least 2 because that small bump sticking out of the moat was another kofun, probably a family member. I passed it several times a week on the Kintetsu line because I taught at a couple of schools in Koriyama. Small world.
I envy you guys... Some day I will visit Nara... Some day
I lived in Japan for a year in the mid-80s and was impressed by the traditional architecture which could withstand the frequent earthquakes, yet still look beautiful. Until seeing this excellent video, I was unaware of the restoration efforts underway. I guess I have to add Nara to my bucket list now... ありがとうございました。
It's fun to see Japan rebuild Nara, those Tang style buildings are amazing
Yeah but don't you think there is always something that seems a bit off about newly constructed buildings in old style...
@@ShivanshThakur-sh8ub cuz you're used to old things looking scratched and sepia.
@@pomelo9518 yep
Archaeologists say Nara may have been modelled on Chang'an Urban Planning. Chinese netizens apparently failed to get the meaning of the sentence, this speculation is concerned about Urban Planning only and Not really Architecture Style, for instance Spanish cities in the new world followed the Suit of Roman Decumanus and Cardo Maximus, that doesn't unthinkingly translates into ancient Roman Architecture... The only remaining Tang Structures in Chang'an are Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which ones bear 0 resemblance to anything
Japanese and this is some emprical evidence unlike a thousand claims by CCP Chinazis trying to push their Chinese Supremacy Agenda so bad. While Nara culture was influenced by China like any other period of Japanese History since the 6th century, Both were ultimately 2 different things, it isn't by Claiming French Renaissance was influenced by Italian Florentine Architecture that it was automatically the Spitting Image of Château de Chenonceau, Palace of Fontainebleau, Château of Blois etc.... imagining rebuilding Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Vecchio or Palazzo Medici-Riccardi 100% modelled on Château d'Azay-le-Rideau. That's the bizarre way Tang Revival Architecture operates in China and it looks quite off and distasteful
@@Flymoki13 I’d suggest you to read more materials on architecture, architecture history and the histories in both countries. Your comment is mixed with political bias than facts.
Great video! I've always been very interested in the topic of reconstructions. I'm glad that all these monuments in Japan are being rebuilt. It's the best way to preserve and showcase history, not only for us but for future generations as well. I hope similar initiatives will also take place in Europe and America.
Ive personally always wanted to see the old capital of the Aztecs, before it was replaced by Mexico City
Fr tenochtitlan was amazing
You can have an idea looking at Texcoco's national parks, the area preserves the wetlands and coniferous forests that Tenochtitlan had in its time since this area is a remnant of the area's ancient lake system before being drained by the spanish.
I’m from a third world country and our supposed ancient capital is also largely buried saved for some parts of the gates and walls which were rebuilt. If it could be rebuilt like what they did here, I would be ecstatics. Unfortunately we are still struggle to feed our population. There’s no point investing in expensive archeological projects unfortunately.
Where?
Nigeria? Benin?
Babylon? Nineveh?
Your culture will be remembered, if it was a blessing. You can even help by telling people about your culture.

This was such a delight. I love how beautiful and detailed this video was. And the music was absolutely chosen very well. Thank you!
i wish more countries put this kind of effort into restoration architecture
Sadly some can't. For example a great city built by my people is in-between India and Bangladesh. The city of Gaur. Those two countries and people currently aren't in great relations due to recent events.
A fantastic video! I've been studying on the old Japanese capitals and have been building my own in Minecraft. There was a good bit of info in this video I had heard before, but plenty, especially in regards to the temples, was all new! I hope to one day visit Nara in person to see these magnificent sites.
Pre-Kamakura Period Japan isn't as popular in the West, or in pop culture in general. The Daigokuden, Suzakumon, and the great halls of the temples all rival the majesty of Himeji Castle, in my mind anyway.
No way! I do that too :D Glad to see another pre-Heian Japanese history enthusiast/Minecrafter

@@theelevatedone2536 That's awesome! Lol, I too thought I was the only one. Well, the only one outside of Japan, anyway. Pre-Heian Japan is so underrated.
Pre-Kamakura period isn't popular because it's all too "Chinese" for Japan.
@@Jumpoable Tbf, there are a lot of Heian period media. Just wish they could extend a tad bit into the previous era
This is incredible, absolutely breathtaking. As a Dane, I often feel so ashamed that we here in Denmark are so lacking in terms of historical monuments, reconstructions and just in general cultural sights that aren't concentrated in Copenhagen. I recently went on a Denmark round trip for my eighteenth birthday. One of the first stops on my journey was Jelling, I was really excited because I had heard all the hype and history, Jelling being essentially the ancient birthplace of Denmark, with several important "Monuments"
But when I arrived in Jelling, I was beyond dissapointed, almost depressed. There was barely anything of note, and even the ancient runestones and mounds that serve as the ancient burial places of the first proper kings of Denmark, are barely noticeable and all around lackluster. Packed with tourists, there was a shitty little "Museum" and café, which served the most dogwater ass food there is, and although hard to describe, it felt very plastic and fake, with attractions such as the comical "Berserker Box" and a "Monument" representing the ancient palisade walls of Jelling, looking like goofy toothpicks out of a comedy show. All around a bad experience, that made me really sad for my country, as not even our country's birthplace had anything of true note.
Seeing Nara being rebuilt and expanded so faithfully and beautifully makes my heart flutter, it is amazing to see! Maybe one day Jelling will be as significant as Nara, worthy of the title "Historic Danish Capital"... Thanks for reading my rant.
I feel your pain! Maybe to lighten up your mood I will borrow a well-known quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet: 'Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.'
I completely understand complaining about the commercialization of the site. That's a national disgrace, rightfully seen as an insult to your history and your people. Such things should always be handled with respect. However, I do have to quibble a bit with the other criticism. The origins of many European nations, particularly the northern European ones, is Germanic tribes. They weren't great city builders. They were tribal people who lived in fairly humble villages. Even after interactions or conquest by the Romans, great city builders themselves, much of northern Europe's Germanic peoples lives remained simple, tribal, and humble. Dark Age Europe certainly tells that tale for centuries following the fall of Rome, and it wasn't really til the medieval period when we start seeing cities we'd formally recognize as a "city" compared to a (smaller) town or (even smaller) village. Nothing wrong with that. It's our roots (I'm part Dutch, English, Danish, andd French by ancestry). Restoring our past is going to look very different from Japan's or China's efforts during this period because their history is very different. We should not feel ashamed of that, nor of our beginnings any more than we would ask a Native American or Australian aboriginal to feel ashamed of their own humble lifestyle historically.
@@kma3647 Hi, I'm super thankful for the insightful and awesome reply, and I fully get you and the point you made. I suppose a decent comprimise would be to perhaps focus on building new wonders, more in line with grand works of architecture which fit better current times, and then leaving the more simple origins of the culture to itself in a respectful manner, without cheap commercialization. Thanks for reply!
in Europe we don't have money for any of this as we're paying housing of 10% of the population of the middle east
The Danes, who are descended from the Israelite tribe of Dan, are guilty of bringing in contemporary Scandinavian architecture and furniture. They should go back to building roughly-hewn log buildings, tables, and stools.
I was recently in Nara a few months ago and while on the train I was curious why there was a random temple in the middle of a bunch of fields. Thankfully I stumbled on this video to answer it!
My favorite story about Heijo Palace from excavators is that flowers and leaves from that time were preserved like a time capsule under its ground. But it will scatter soon when is exposed to 1,200 years later air.
I also like that many people in Nara underestimate Kyoto and have hold grudges against emperor Kanmu because he decided to remove the capital to Heiankyo(Kyoto).
I wonder what they think of Emperor Heizei then, Kanmu’s successor who sought to bring back the capital to Heijokyo but was stymied by his successor. Heizei is even an alternative reading for the characters that make up “Heijo”
I like the reconstruction philosophy in Japan. If it is done with traditional methods, it is a s good as original. The paradigm in Europe is completely different .Reconstructions are almost taboo and even if done properly with traditional methods, they are snubbed as modern "Disneyland" by historians and archeologists because they would rather show remaining 2% of the original then to restore it no matter how culturally significant was the building (notable exception Notre-Dame)
I'm extremely impressed by the recreation of the Nara-period garden. It's one thing to enter a historic building- an amazing experience, to be sure- but to see a living, ephemeral thing like a garden recreated down to the individual trees is breathtaking.
I’ve been to Nara. I loved it so much more than Tokyo. Nara and Kyoto are two of the most beautiful cities in the world.
Unfortunately, many old houses in Kyoto are still being demolished and replaced by often faceless buildings... I myself was walking through a beautiful historic alley and suddenly, in the middle of it, there was an extraordinarily ugly concrete structure like a foreign body.... I still thought: Who caused this and approved it? It remains to be hoped that such reconstruction projects will become more interesting in Japan again
I've been to Kyoto and Osaka. Kyoto is definitely very beautiful. I would love to visit Nara now too. No desire to go to Tokyo though.
Nara was my favorite Japanese city I visited. There's a ryokan across from Nara palace that has an observation deck on the top floor to look out over the rice fields and rebuilt buildings.
Thank you so much for making and sharing this very excellent video! It's good to see these reconstructions are being done.
6:30: Like an ancient Valentine’s Day.
Japan imitates Chinese architecture and art. Japan has a lot of influence from China. Japan uses Chinese characters.
@@znba8823 yea
@@znba8823 But ancient Chinese culture and architecture were destroyed in your home country and nothing remains lol
Very well researched and very well put together video. The narration was also top-notch 2. I last visited Japan back in 1997 and I actually knew of part of this construction going on back then. The only thing was we didn't exactly know exactly what was going on as not much information was given to us back then.
I'm so happy to see what all of this has amounted to. I think of Japan and miss the country very much 😢😢. I hope to visit it again one day in the future before I get much older.
I went to Kyoto in 1995 and it is my favorite foreign city. I love Paris and Rome but Kyoto was just like a beautifully crafted piece of Japanese art. I'm sad that I read recently it's been overwhelmed by rude tourists to the point that it's being limited to tourism.
Gatekeeping is good otherwise you get Paris
Paris and Rome are shitholes now.
@@longiusaescius2537 - Paris is almost like Detroit at this point...
Me too... So clean so preserve... No people
For real, the Nara Period and the eras before it are sorely underrated.
It seems that people from various countries and regions lived in Nara, including diplomats from the Tang Dynasty and Indian monks.
What's interesting is that a Persian named 破斯清道 worked for a government agency.
Damascus steel seems to be made by folding it many times, and his existence is interesting when you think about how Japanese swords are made in the same way.
Its Chinese inspiration, the Tang Dynasty, might be correctly rated, as the pinnacle of Chinese civilisation. Although by the 700s it was starting to totter (An Loshan etc).
It's interesting that people don't realize that the more Ancient Japanese building that were very much copied or inspired from Tang China always had red color, this is a quirk in Chinese architecture that they loved red color! the beam even in Forbidden City today still colored red, while the more Japanese building like Japanese castle stray away from these red colored beam and detailing.
Fun Fact: i've read somewhere that in Ancient China, deep red pigment was super expensive and only used in painting, hence why the building was colored with the available cheap "red" pigment that can only produced orange or bright red color, so it's fascinating that even the color had history.
In Tang capital, the fashionable pagoda was still four sided, pretty much extinct in China at this point, replaced by a more complex six sided pagoda
Thanks for the content, I watch whenever you post
Excellent quality video describing Nara. Thanks.
Thank you for this video! I have a fascination with Heian era Japan ( the Tale of Genji and the Pillowbook of Sei Shonagon are two of my favorite works of literature) and Tang dynasty China. This video on Nara is expanding my interest in classical Japanese history. 😊

I have lived 33 years in Japan and counting. Yet, this is the first time for me to hear anything about the reconstruction work going on in Nara. Whilst I am sure that there is information to be found and some publicity made, the Japanese media and press are not paying much attention. Preferring to focus on new office buildings, malls and especially their restaurants. If they aren't doing that, then they produce variety shows that have become repetitive and more often than not, not particularly funny or interesting. This is a shame as this kind of topic would be of interest to a wide audience and I'm sure that this isn't the only such project that is ongoing in Japan. Well done for putting this together and giving Nara the publicity it deserves.
At least schools’ field trips are going. My 5th grade class went last year. It was heavily abandoned as in no one other than staff are there. Only one other school tour and like a few moms and their pre school children there to run around the large field. To be fair it is located not near anything else that tourist usually go to. 🤷🏾♀️
I love it when foreigners bring such awesome information to us. Thank you for this research and uploading.
Good job it is always good to see people valuing their history
Thank you for the video. I went to Nara last month and although I found it extremely beautiful I didn’t get the chance to know about the history. Now everything makes sense 👏🏽

This is extremely cool, I'd like to hear and see more stuff like this! And Your presentation style is incredible, I'm rarely "Glued" for 22 minutes.
Because of the turmoil in China in the last 150 years in China a lot of the Tang buildings in the once splendid ancient capital of Chang An were destroyed as well of the ancient imperial palace complexes during the Tang. A lot of the building style of ancient Tang can be still be admired at in Japan, where alot of the building style of the Tang has been preserved. There are still mural paintings in Tang tombs that depict exactly the same style of building that still can be admired in present Japan, like in Kyoto.
The countryside around Nara is stunning. Been walking around there hunting for kofuns a few times. Would recommend, chef’s kiss.
You should check out the Yamanobe-no-michi. It's an ancient road that cuts through Nara Prefecture. I was in a hiking group when I lived in Saidai-ji that walked ancient roads and that one, while hard to follow at times, was definitely the best. We came across a few kofun near Miwa that were smaller and left off most lists. You could even see a lot of the stonework on some of them. It can be frustrating though. Came across one that the IJA had bulldozed a path through for moving anti-aircraft during WWII. Still historical, but a lot of damage to an ancient monument.
As a Chinese I fully approve this. Judging by what it's been shown here, it seems both Heijo-Kyo and Kyoto are a great example of Medieval Japan paying homage to the Tang Dynasty, especially its capital Chang'an.
Thank you. Nara was modeled on the capital of Tang China. I like the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty, so I agree with the reconstruction of it.
Just a speculation by Archaeologists that Nara may have been modelled on Chang'an Urban Planning. By the way this speculation is concerned about Urban Planning only and Not really Architecture Style, for instance Spanish cities in the new world followed the Suit of Roman Decumanus and Cardo Maximus, that doesn't unthinkingly translates into ancient Roman Architecture... The only remaining Tang Structures in Chang'an are Small Wild Goose Pagoda and Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, which ones bear 0 resemblance to anything
Japanese and this is some emprical evidence unlike a thousand claims by CCP Chinazis. While Nara culture was influenced by China like any other period of Japanese History since the 6th century, Both were ultimately 2 different things, it isn't by Claiming French Renaissance was influenced by Italian Florentine Architecture that it was automatically the Spitting Image of Château de Chenonceau, Palace of Fontainebleau, Château of Blois etc.... imagining rebuilding Santa Maria del Fiore, Palazzo Vecchio or Palazzo Medici-Riccardi 100% modelled on Château d'Azay-le-Rideau. That's the bizarre way Tang Revival Architecture operates in China and it looks quite off and distasteful
@@Flymoki13 You do know that a lot of old buildings in Japan are Chinese styled that are still standing today right? Kyoto and Nara are Tang styled Capitals, the records prove it. Go google Huaqing Palace in Chang'an, it's still standing my friend.
@@Flymoki13 Most Tang Revival architecture are pretty good. There are some bad ones using the Japanese karahafu but these buildings have generally been ridiculed by the Chinese architectural community.
Thank you for the video
I looked at it on Google Earth and there are even several grave sites from the Kofun period nearby. This place is an archeologists dream.
Yes, if I remember correctly, Kitaura Sadamasa, who was the first to survey the site of the city, was also known for researching ancient tombs in the area.
this was a fantastically interesting and detailed video, great job. i love that you pronounced the japanese names accurately, which is one of the first times i’ve seen that on youtube from non-japanese people.
Great video.
These sites are worth all preservation efforts and finances.
It's hard to comprehend just how masive Todai-ji. It's ridicilous! Trully an amazing hall - you have to see it in person to experience its grandeur.
Glad to see that the Japanese people have conserved their ancient culture so well and continue to do so unlike many Asian countries.
Ancient Asian cultures sure knew how to project power and generate shock and awe. Dare to say they far outclassed my ancestors when it came to city building
It's fascinating to see such a large grid city akin to the great Roman capital back in 8th Century Japan where during this time in Western Europe, people were still in the Dark Ages or the aftereffects of the collapse of the Western Roman Empire several centuries prior.
Ancient india, china, middle east have planned city's long before romans and greeks, especially Indus Valley cities are so properly planned with swege connecting all house and second floor bathrooms and incredible water works surrounding city enclosures so even in summer water is plenty.
The scale of civilizational backsliding after "collaps" of the western empire is exagerated. Rome had sitll over 100 000 people in 500.
Beautiful and informative video. Well done.
Fantastic presentation and topic ! It made me think about heritage and historical sites. There are international charters (e.g. Venice charter) setting principles for conservation and restoration : any change must be documented, reversible and visible.
I work as a tour guide lecturer in historical sites in Rouen, Normandy, and in most of them various states of the site exist in the same space. Even later 19th century restorations are kept and conserved.
The difference is in the historical ruptures. Most of heritage sites in Europe can't be restored as they first were because their purpose, aesthetics, economy aren't relevant anymore, whereas these temples complexe remained in use, keeping the memory and the spirit of the place. As tradition endured the same building techniques are still alive and put to use. In Asia there's no problem rebuilding the same temple through time.
The garden complex is the most astonishing to me. Besides its intrinsic beauty I'm really impressed by the quality of the archaeological works and how they served to recreate the garden so faithfully it is as it never disapeared.
Many thanks Kings and Things ! The mighty algorithm just elected to bestow your content upon me :)
I love Nara and especially
the Asuka period in Japan lasted from 538-710 CE, and is named after the capital city of Asuka.
The Horyuji Temple is one of the oldest wooden buildings in the world and is significant for coinciding with the introduction of Buddhism to Japan.
Umayado no Ohji who organized to built this temple. He was a crown prince and his name means he was born in horse stable and born on 7 February 574 AD,
died on 8 April 622 AD.
He was the prince regent of Japan, the honorary leader who ruled in the place of the emperor.
He wrote a famous letter to Chinese Emperor,
the letter was written in 607 by him to the Emperor of China, Emperor Yang of Sui, contains the first written use of the name "Nihon," the modern name for Japan.
From the Emperor of the Land of the Rising Sun. To
the Emperor of the Falling Sun 😅
Maybe better translation is
"From the sovereign of the land of the rising sun to the sovereign of the land of the setting sun.”
He wrote world oldest law of 17 articles of the constitution that influenced and formed Japanese characters.
He said that there were so many ideas and opinions amongst people. So you must discuss until every contents you decide . And then you represent to the Emperor the decision.
Then the Emperor will issue the order and take all responsibility whatever happened. respect with peace, Harmony is the greatest of virtues.
Well done Japan. Well done. Japan will never die because it's still in touch with it's history and culture. Europe on the other hand is already dead. It's history is being rewritten as we speak and it's culture died a long time ago.
Look at the Parthenon for example. People pay a lot of money to travel to Athens to see it and see only scafolding and a jungle of concrete all around it.. It's been like that for 20-30 years.No renovation projects. No excavations surrounding the Acropolis. Nothing. Just cafeterias, clubs and crap like that.
It is extremely rare to find a CZcamsr discuss about a subject like this, and rarer still for the quality to be this amazing, this was very well done!
Just watched a short excerpt of a excavated Roman Town and thought, from the thumbnail, that it was going to be another Roman city BUT it is Japan!!!
I lived near Nara for a while. That city has a special vibe to it.

@Kingsandthings Incredible work, very impressed by the quality!
Oh this is so fascinating! Personally I love the fact that they are restoring it. As a tourist it is so much more interesting to see than some stones with a plaque showing what was there before
This is a fundamental difference between western and eastern restoration projects. In the West, the test of time is also factored in, that’s why you’d never see the Colosseum with its outer wall completely repaired, or the Parthenon brought back to its original state. In the East, they’d go as far as rebuilding structures that are long gone, so that the visitor can “feel” what it must’ve been like centuries back. China has a similar approach too - ancient sights, relatively new buildings.
There are lots of projects in the west that reconstruct the original feel of ancients sites, they simply aren't very famous. There are reconstructions of roman forts and villa. There are reconstructions of Crannog's and Iron age settlements. There's even a full-scale replica of the Parthenon in Nashville, Tennessee.
Great video as always! Keep it up!
I love this channel and your soothing voice. It's a breath of fresh air in a world where everything is screaming for your attention. I hope you never stop :)
I’ve visited Nara four times. Each time I find it interesting and impressive.
This is only possible from a peoples that never lost their traditions and customs , this is a lesson for other nations of why the zeal of " diversity " is in itself a ruinous thing , as in the USA many Mid 1800 and turn of the century buildings were raised in favor of the stale MODERN MOVEMENT of our cities and living spaces in America. JAPAN can offer some valuable lessons to the World at large about preserving their own cultures against Globalism and Diversity. Kudo's to the Monk that went to the people , of this nation to restore their treasured history. 💪🏻 Kudo's from the USA 🇺🇸
Paris had its concentric medieval fortified city walls intact and its many medieval monastaries and churches intact up until the French Revolution. Some still exist today, like Notre Dame de Paris, and Saint Chapelle, but many are lost, most importantly the Abbey of Saint Genevieve (patron saint of Paris, built in the 6th century, destroyed by the French rebels in the 18th century). Saint Genevieve was a Parisian native of the 6th century, she was the symbol of Paris, and the French rebels destroyed her body and church.
What the rebels did was horrible
Didn't Notre Dame burnt down?
@@megawiemjem7098 Notre Dame de Paris is being rebuilt faithfully only because of outrage from the traditionalist Europeans. That's the truth. Governments won't do anything unless there is massive outrage.
I visited Nara with high school excursion trip of Kansai (Kyoto and Nara) like 60
years ago. My favorite place I visited in Nara was Houryuji temple. The oldest wooden
structure that existed in the world (1300 years). It was very impressive not in scale
necessarily but atmosphere of ancient times. I also loved 5 storied Pagoda as well as
Statues of Buddha with two attending Nikko (sun) Gakko (moon) Bodhisattvas which
were imported from Pakche in Korea. They still remain a few of my favorite Buddist
statues among thousands.
There were no deer as I recall in Great Buddha in Todaiji and the park adjacent to it
in those days or I will remember it.
I actually LOVE that Japan is rebuilding all these lost ancient buildings. Personally, i wish that MORE countries would do the same. I mean so long as they are built using the same type of materials and in the same manner as they would have originally been built, does it REALLY MATTER that they are modern versions? I mean what happens with a building over time anyways? Bit by bit parts wear out and pieces need to be replaced, and over time the building that is standing is NOT the same one that was originally built as EVERY SINGLE last board and nail is replaced with a new one over and over again. So really, what's the difference between doing it all at once or little over time. I mean just imagine if Rome was to rebuild the amphitheater back to it's original glory? What if we rebuilt all the amazing lost wonders of the world like the Temple of Artemis, the lighthouse of Alexandria, the famous Temple of Zeus, the Parthenon or the colossus of Rhodes? Imagine these things still standing to this day, having been rebuild using the same techniques as back then to honor them. People would get to ACTUALLY SEE what these places were like rather than just IMAGINE them or look at drawings of what they MIGHT have looked like. I think these places SHOULD be rebuilt and preserved PHYSICALLY rather than JUST in books and paintings. I also think that when it SPECIFICALLY comes to rebuilding a city, castle or even just a large building, that it should BE USED and NOT JUST built as some museum or something. That if you rebuild a city, then people SHOULD LIVE IN IT and the areas used as a market back then, should YET AGAIN be used as a market. And if you rebuild a castle or large building, then it should be USED as a government building or something. Don't let these places go to waste and end up being abandoned YET AGAIN when a museum or such is no longer able to bring in enough money to keep the doors open.
I love this channel
I did a walk from the Horyuji Temple, through numerous rice fields, to the Hokji Temple. Took a bus from there to Koriyama and walked to Yakushiji Temple. Walking in this area really gave a sense of history, with little shrines and temples also around the area. it might not look it, but you can feel this is hallowed ground for the Japanese people, it's great to see them restoring all this heritage.
Hi Kings and Things, where did you get the map in the very first shot of the video? I've been looking everywhere for a rendition like that - it's so informative yet beautiful
Welcome back king, your videos are always a pleasure to watch!
The capital was moved in the 9th century from its location near Nara due to a dispute between the very powerful priests who controlled the Imperial Court and the then Emperor, he wanted his family away from the influence of the priests. I think that is what happened, this is what I remember learning, if I am wrong please correct me.
Great news! I wish I could visit Japan, maybe someday before I croak! Arigato.🏴🇬🇧
Thank you very much for this wonderful video
This is so amazing. Well done Japan, i wish more countries would bring pieces of their lost history back to life like this ❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful Video!
As a Greek, this is what I wish the government would do with the acropolis of Athens, among other monuments around the country. I like that they are using as much of the original material as possible, but there are no plans to go beyond such; finishing the reconstruction of the complex as faithfully as possible would amazing. Ig the issue is that UNESCO and other archeological organizations get their panties in a twist if you try to do anything with a protected monument, which is fair to an extent, we’ve seen what reckless enthusiasm led to at the site of Troy, but the Acropolis of Athens is so well researched that I don’t think a reconstruction would really sacrifice any ancient knowledge whatsoever.
Great! I wish the same happens here in Greece and other parts of the world. I hope this practice of restoration and revival of cultural heritage buldings continues. And even building new structures influenced by each civilization's unique culture.
Thank you for this interesting and lovely made video.
I was there last month, it was a massive and beautiful complex and It had a Tang dynasty look to it. The gates and the palace were superb!! I walked into the museums as well! and the best part, there's not a lot of people there. Also nearby are ancient Kofuns!!!
it is always a pleasure to run across your vids.
they are consistently head and shoulders over the run-of-the-mill stuff that
the algo-deities of the tube'y'all try to push at me.
I am taken by the Japanese aesthetic that looks at its history and, for the most part,
says, damn the cost and the time it will take. those things aren't important.
the same aesthetic currently seems to be able to choose
the most emblematic and best of its past to celebrate and recreate.
(there are parts of its past, both recent and not, that require atonement. it's not all cherry blossoms)
I do worry about the farmland that is being taken out of production though.
Japan is not able to feed itself now. that loss will be felt.
I also worry about the money that could perhaps be used to address
not necessarily better, but more pressing immediate problems.
still, being struck by beauty can sometimes feed us in ways that food can't.
but I am not in the position of need that I know some in Japan are.
I was genuinely impressed with each aspect of what was presented here. I know quite a bit about Heijo-kyo, but there were a few parts I didn't know well. I also enjoyed the visuals. They were very helpful!
I hope more people explore Nara. Everyone knows about the deer and Todaiji, but there is much more to see. Today, it's so much easier to explore beyond the old tourist guides thanks to modern navigation and translation on our phones. If this video tickled your interest a little, please consider taking a bus to the old palace area, the archeological sites and museums, then south to the ancient temples. The usual places are overcrowded and you've seen them a lot in photos. See more!
Fascinating piece, thank you for doing this. I've always found it amazing how structures, town and even cities can vanish over time, ever since I was a child (I grew up in a small town that sat on the Antonine Wall, the northernmost boundary of the Roman Empire, and excavations were common, giving glimpses of a place that was both another world and yet our world).
Japan is the only nation people can look up to these days. Wow so much respect in their culture.
Wow both incredible images, and insights, what a wonderful description of this amazing complex.
Remarkable work here. Thank you. 🙏
Delightful video 😊
This is a fascinating watch, I skipped Nara on my most recent trip but will absolutely return again next time I go. Such a beautiful city.
Rebuilding using the ancient plans and methods is so cool, since modern big city Japan is so different. So much can be (re)learned. I like the garden best.
i love how our best modern construction technology (earthquake resistant foundations) is used together with with ancient woodwork techniques from the period.
Wonderful story in history and the information is greatly appreciated 🙏 thank you ✌️
Congratulations on a wonderful project. Your documentation of it is spectacular. May inquire about the soundtrack (especially the first cut)?
The fascination and vibrancy that Japan exerts on so many people especially in the Western world stems from an aspect of culture that we have lost and they retained, the connection to their own millenia-long history. They live in a continuum, while we live on an island in time, only remembering the bad deeds of our ancestors and wanting them to drown and never be seen again in the depths of history, declaring through our narcissism that we are better than them, extrapolating technological progress to be equal to ethical progress, which is delusional.
I was so invested in all these details!
A most excellent video, indeed! So great to see such incredible restorations and continuing ongoing work with great plans for the future.
This is so awesome! I'm completely for rebuilding/restoring historical structures if for no other reason than we can.
i think it would be cool it they recreated the entire palace
Excellent video, very educational and informative. Thank you!!!
Beautifully produced video. This is a very interesting history to learn about. The narration was excellent with good pacing, good content editing, and minimal repetition. No stupid sponsors, "like meh" distractions, begging me to subscribe or give money to their off-platform money collection service, or other garbage, just high quality, extremely professional work. You got yourself a new subscriber with this one.
🥀THE GOSPEL OF THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD "the Salvation of the last day that Christ brought the second and last incarnation of His new and holy name"
(People only experience in the last days the reappearance of the Redeemer in the flesh, and they receive the personal work and words of God. This is because the last days are the conclusion of the whole age. These the sum and end of God's six-thousand-year rule plan, and these are the end of mankind's suffering life journey. My work will only last six thousand years, and I will I whose contempt for all mankind will not last more than six thousand years. I will not continue or delay any more: In the last days I will conquer Satan, I will take back all My glory, and I will take back the all the souls on earth that belong to Me so that these sorrowing souls can escape from the sea of suffering, and thus My whole work on earth will be finished. I will only do one thing on earth: I will change mankind, the humanity that is holy, and My faithful city on earth. This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. The spoils of war I have rescued from Satan's domain, and are the only consummation and fruition of My six-thousand-year rule plan. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the universe. I will destroy this ancient, and utterly defilement of mankind, as I destroyed the firstborn sons and cattle in Egypt, leaving only the Israelites, who ate lamb's flesh, drank lamb's blood, and sealed blood of sheep's on the beams of their houses)
Almighty God said
PEOPLE only in the LAST DAYS experience the RE-APPEARANCE of the REDEEMER in the FLESH, and they ACCEPT GOD'S PERSONAL WORKS and WORDS. It will not be two thousand years before the LAST DAYS of the END COME; they are SHORT, as JESUS DID the WORKS during the AGE of GRACE in JUDEA. This is because the LAST DAYS are the CONCLUSION of ALL TIME. These are the FULFILLMENT and the END of the SIX--THOUSAND--YEAR PLAN of GOD'S RULE, and they are the END of HUMANITY'S LIFE JOURNEY of SUFFERING. 🙏
My WORK WILL ONLY LAST SIX THOUSAND YEARS, and I PROMISE THAT EVIL'S HOLD OF ALL HUMANITY WILL NOT LAST MORE THAN SIX THOUSAND YEARS either. ☀️
And so timely. I will not continue or delay any longer: In the LAST DAYS I WILL CONQUER SATAN, I WILL RECOVER ALL MY GLORY, and I WILL RECOVER all the SOULS on EARTH that belong to Me so that these suffering SOULS can LOSE in the SEA of SUFFERING, and thus My ENTIRE WORK on EARTH will be FINISHED. From this day forward, I will never again incarnate on earth, and My domineering Spirit will never again work on earth. 🙏
I will only DO one THING on EARTH: I will CHANGE HUMANITY, humanity that is DIVINE, and My FAITHFUL CITY on EARTH. 🌺
But you must know that I will not destroy the whole world, nor will I destroy the whole humanity. I will KEEP the REMAINING PART THREE---the third part that LOVES Me and COMPLETELY SUBMITS to Me, and I will MAKE them fruitful and MULTIPLY in the EARTH as the ISRAELITES DID UNDER the LAW, FEEDING them with Abundant SHEEP and CATTLE and ALL the ABUNDANCES OF THE EARTH. 🌺
This humanity will remain with Me forever, but it is not the vile filthy humanity of today, but the humanity accumulated from My earnings. 🙏 That mankind will not be harmed, disturbed, or besieged by Satan, and they will be the ONLY mankind that WILL REMAIN ON EARTH AFTER I AM VICTORIOUS AGAINST SATAN. This is humanity that I have NOW CONQUERED and GOT MY PROMISE. And so, the humanity conquered in the LAST DAYS is the same humanity that WILL BE SAVED and ACHIEVE My ETERNAL BLESSINGS. 🌺
This will be the only proof of My victory over Satan, and the only spoils of My battle with Satan. The SPOILERS of WAR I HAVE SAVED from SATAN'S ATTITUDE, and the ONLY COMPLETION and FRUIT of My SIX-THOUSAND-YEAR REIGN PLAN. They come from every nation and denomination, and every place and town, throughout the UNIVERSE. They come from different races, different languages, customs and skin colors, and they are scattered in all countries and denominations around the world, and even in every corner of the WORLD. 🏵️ SOON, they will COME TOGETHER to BUILD THE PERFECT HUMANITY, the meeting of humanity that SATAN'S FORCES CANNOT REACH. 🙏 Those of HUMANITY that I have NOT SAVED and CONQUERED and will SINK SILENTLY in the DEPTH OF THE SEA, and MY BURNING FIRE WILL BURN ETERNALLY. 😪
I will wipe out this old, and utter abomination of mankind, just as I DESTROYED the FIRST-BORN BOYS and cattle in EGYPT, leaving only the ISRAELITES, who EAT lamb's flesh, DRINK sheep BLOOD, and STAMP the BLOOD of the asSHEEP on the beams of their DOORS. 🙏🌷🙏
AREN'T the PEOPLE I CONQUERED and became FAMILY the same PEOPLE who ATE My FLESH as LAMB and I REDEEMED and WORSHIP Me? Aren't they the TYPES of PEOPLE who are always ACCOMPANIED with My GLORY? Are they not without My body, the Lamb, and have quietly sunk into the depths of the sea? Now they oppose Me, and now My words and just like those that Jehovah said to the male children and male grandsons of Israel. BUT HARDNESS IN THE DEPTH of your HEARTS STORES MY WRATH, CAUSES MORE JUDGMENT on your SINS, and more WRATH on your unrighteousness. Who will be saved in My day of wrath, if this is how you treat Me now? ☀️
Whose UNJUSTICE can ESCAPE My EYES of PUNISHMENT? Whose sins can escape the hands of Me, the ALMIGHTY? Whose resistance will escape My judgment, the ALMIGHTY? I, JEHOVAH, am SPEAKING to you, TRIBES of GENTILE FAMILIES, and the WORDS I AM SPEAKING to you are MORE than ALL that was SPOKE in the AGE of LAW and in the AGE of GRACE, but you are more stubborn than all people in Egypt. Are you not storing up My wrath while I PREPARE My REST? How can you get away with nothing?g damage from My Sun, the ALMIGHTY? 🌻
