Open Borders and the real Jesus
Barbara Henderson
There was a one world government the
Bible calls Babel.
Noah was, among many other things, a man
who lived at a pivotal point in the history of the world. Noah and his family saw the corruption of the
world before the flood. They alone of
the people on the planet went through the flood. Then they set out to build a new world. In this new world did God leave them to their
own devices, or did He give them instructions on how to proceed?
He gave them instructions. He divided the world into three areas, sending
Shem to one area, Ham to another area, and Japeth to yet a third area. So, we have the beginning of division of
people into separate groups living in separate areas.
But, as usual, mankind wasn’t all that
obedient to God. Instead of spreading out
over the earth as instructed they stayed in one place. It was called Babel. Everyone spoke the same language, and
apparently many of them had the same problem.
They were in direct rebellion against God Almighty. Their intention was to build a tower to
heaven. No one knows exactly what that
means, but it doesn’t mean they were going to stack up bricks to reach the home
of God. They were trying to build
something that would allow them to enter heaven without going through God and
His Son the promised Savior. They wanted
a ‘door’ to heaven. Maybe they were
planning to invade the home of God.
Now, God had clearly promised that He
would not destroy the earth again with a flood.
Yet, here were the disobedient people growing more wicked all the time. When people reject God that is always what
happens. They grow more and more
wicked. Apparently some of the people
were still on the fence regarding whether or not to join the full rebellion
against God. That is my guess. Anyway, God decided to do something to stop
the building of the tower and to get the people to obey His instructions on
spreading out and repopulating the earth.
He gave the people different languages.
Imagine a world where everyone spoke the same language. How much easier would communications be
then? These tower builders all spoke the
same language. They probably went to the
same schools and studied the same subjects.
Imagine that! Then imagine that
they suddenly woke up one morning and could only understand one group of people. So, unable to understand each other it was
much easier to do what God had instructed in the first place. They went out to different parts of the
world.
People today often think of those living
before the flood and after the flood as some sort of caveman with little
understanding or mechanical ability. This is not true. They were still close to the genetic
perfection of Adam and Eve. They lived
in an environment that was far cleaner and healthier than the one in which we
live today. They lived far longer
lives. Don’t imagine they were grunting
cavemen. Imagine them as nearly 4000
years less de-volved than we are today.
Yet, in all their brilliance and closeness to the events the earliest
part of the Bible tells us of, they still rejected God. But, like any generation in rebellion
against God, they eventually did reap, at least in part, what they were sowing. Today their names are not known, but there
were probably some very evil leaders much like we have today. Perhaps they, like our leaders, were
concerned about their ‘legacy’. They
wanted a great legacy. Instead they are
forgotten in the pages of history. Yet,
not one of God’s children is forgotten by God.
Our names are written on His hand. Glory to God!
When the children of Israel went into
the promised land they were going to receive an inheritance that had been
promised to them from the time of Abraham.
There were very specific borders or boundaries for the entire land and
for each tribe. From the time of the
dispersion of the people from Babel there were boundaries and different
languages. There have been attempts
throughout history to unite the world under one ruler. One ruler would then set one language. One ruler would have one belief system. The people of the world would be on their way
to building a new and greater Babel.
You may be wondering how this is going
to work out for them. The answer is not
well at all. God Himself has divided the
world into nations and given us many languages.
Those who fight against God never actually win. God may allow them time to repent before he
puts a stop to their rebellion, but He is not mocked. They will eventually reap what they have
sown.
Today we see a globalist push such as
the world has not seen previously. I say
this because travel is so simple and available now. Instead of military invasions of other
nations, the leaders of the world are falling into the rebellion of Babel. They believe they will be able to unite the
world regardless of what God Almighty has to say about it.
God is not mocked! Just like at Babel there will be a semblance
of a united world at one point in time.
The anti-Christ will be doing his very best to bring all people under his
rule. He will demand worship. Those who reject him will not be sent to
re-education camps. They will be
murdered. It probably won’t be a simple
murder like a bullet to the head or a sword that decapitates in one smooth
blow. It may be something as horrible
and unimaginable as crucifixion.
How do you feel about global open
borders? The Bible is clear that God
Himself divided the people into many languages and nations. What earthly ruler is mighty enough to stand against
God? Will God allow some success in this
matter while His mercy still extends to the lost? No matter the mercy that God allows, the end
result will not be a world united under any ruler until Jesus Christ Himself
comes to rule. Don’t be fooled by the
silly people claiming Jesus wants open borders, and Jesus wants everyone to be
able to vote, and Jesus wants everyone to have exactly the same things. After all, how could a fair God be pleased
with anyone being allowed to keep the things for which they have worked while
others have less even though they have not worked?
We live in a world where a ‘Jesus’ is
continually created in the image of whatever its human creator wants. If the human creator of Jesus wants a Jesus
who wants open borders, then this is the Jesus they create. If their version of Jesus needs to be in favor
of taking from one person who works to give to another person who doesn’t work,
then that is the Jesus they create. If
they want tolerance of every deviant lifestyle, then their Jesus loves and
accepts everyone. This fictional Jesus
is always tolerant of things the real Jesus clearly calls sin. Even though the real Jesus clearly calls many
things sin, clearly states there is one way to heaven, and clearly calls
Himself God, the fictional Jesus usually does none of these things. We must be cautious when someone claims Jesus
is on their side in whatever political or social battle they are fighting. If their version of Jesus doesn’t match the
Biblical version of Jesus they are definitely not speaking for Jesus Christ.
Today the name of Jesus often belongs to
a fictional character that people bring out to push their own cause. As with any fictional character the author of
the character decides what he/she does, likes, says, looks like, and every
other thing that goes into creating a character that does what you want it to
be and do.
SO…. When you hear the name of Jesus
used in any cause other than salvation by grace through faith it is time to
take a closer look at the ‘Jesus’ people are using to promote their cause. Jesus isn’t for open borders because it was
Jesus Himself who created nations and languages. He did this for the good of mankind. It was Jesus who said if any won’t work let
him not eat. Families and churches are
to care for the sick and disabled. The
government loves to put itself in the place of God, having people look to
government to solve their problems instead of looking to God.
The triune God of the Bible is not a
social warrior. God does make the rules
that make a good society when followed.
The problems come in when God’s rules are not followed. Then mankind
tries to fix the problems by changing the rules. Of course it doesn’t work. The problems become bigger.
Truly, this world is just
temporary. We are here for a short
time. Even the earth itself is only here
for a short time when considered in the light of eternity. The purpose of the earth is to provide a home
for people as they make their choice about where they will spend eternity. God makes the choice very clear and
plain. Anything that clouds the truth is
not of God.
