The people of the various provinces are strictly forbidden to have in
their possession any swords, bows, spears, firearms or other types of
arms. The possession of these elements makes difficult the collection of
taxes and dues, and tends to permit uprising.
~ Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Japanese Shogun, August 29, 1558
John 12:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
