In order to permeate all parts of the Japanese economy with the gospel of the JPC, a great many years and dedication like that shown by Jesus will be necessary. Although there are some fervent apostles and adherents - and a great many people who seek after the miracle - there are also countless unbelieving Jews whose souls are firmly shut. Only when the hearts of these doubters are softened and a sense of hope restored can the Japanese economy be redeemed. One has to say that the apostles mission is a weighty one indeed.
