"A "World Without
Borders""
Toly Els posted a quote on how John Kerry said to prepare for a
world without borders at http://mobile.wnd.com/2016/05/john-kerry-to-grads-prepare-for-borderless-world/?cat_orig=education
. I saw an interesting video in which someone was talking about
how God raises nations for various reasons. For example,
"I will raise up against you a nation" (Amos 6:14)
This was a warning about coming punishment. But God uses
nations for good. The ones that do right become a positive
model for how to behave. The ones that do wrong become a
negative model of what not to become.
But if we lived in a world "without borders", the world would
lose out on the differentiation between cultures that helps
identify good and bad behavior. We would no longer learn
from each other's mistakes. And of course preventing us
from learning from other's mistakes is exactly why the enemy
wants a world without borders; to subvert a tool that God can
use in a positive way.
Shalom, Joe
