About Us

Purpose

To glorify God, oppose evil, and promote Biblical literacy.

Vision

There are two parts to our vision:

  1. To spread Biblical literacy and encourage reformation and revival by creating, collecting, and distributing sound educational materials for baby and mature Christians to grow in their walk with the Lord.
  2. To translate the Bible into languages lacking an accurate and reliable translation of the Holy Scriptures using the King James Bible as the base text, since English is the universal language of the world. The original languages can be consulted when needed, such as when detail is lost (e.g., English only has one word for love, Greek three).

The Name

Akai Tsurugi in Japanese calligraphy

Akai Tsurugi is the transliteration (Latin characters used to represent another language) of the Japanese words 赤い (akai, red) and 剣 (tsurugi, sword).

Why Japanese?

Although this website is only available in English now, Japanese will be the first non-English language we will support with Japanese resources in the future.

Why a sword?

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. - Hebrews 4:12

The Bible is referred to as a sword in Scripture. The focus of this website is to provide resources to aid in the study of the Bible. And swords are cool.

Why a red sword?

As I learned from the crayon box song: red is for the color of the blood that He shed.

Ultimately, the Bible is about the blood of Christ. Don't let those liberals fool you. The doctrine of the blood atonement has been assaulted by people who claim to be Christians saying that the atonement has nothing to do with the blood or that the blood is just a "symbol." What Christ and His blood accomplished in His death, burial, and resurrection (also referred to as the work of Christ) is the core of the Bible and the foundation of salvation. No wonder it is under attack by Satan and his devils.
