"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
