BIBLE AND THE POLICY OF SECURE BORDER
Like President Donald Trump’s America First policy, his Secure Border policy is consistent with the principle of Protecting Heaven as recorded in the Bible.
President Donald Trump, in order to protect the safety of American citizens, has ordered the border to be carefully guarded to prevent illegal immigrants from flooding in as happened during the time of previous presidents. At the same time, President Donald Trump also ordered the deportation of illegal immigrants with criminal records or those who have committed crimes in the United States.
President Trump’s policy has been fiercely opposed by the Democratic Party. Some churches have also spoken out against it, saying that President Trump’s policy is inhumane and lacks compassion for immigrants. It is because of the churches’ opposition that we write this article to show that President Trump’s border security policy is completely consistent with biblical principles.
We all know that God is a loving God, but that does not mean that He accepts everyone into His Heaven. It is a place that God has established for Him and His children, the angels and Christians, to live in peace and harmony with each other forever.
That is why, since ancient times, when Satan rebelled against God by becoming arrogant, God expelled him from His Heaven, as recorded in…
ISAIAH 14: 12 – How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
LUKE 10: 18 – He replied: I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
REVELATION 12: 7-9 – 7 Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. 8 But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. 9 The great dragon was hurled down, that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
Satan was originally an archangel, created by God in the beginning and residing in Heaven. But despite his position, he was still cast out of Heaven when he disobeyed God’s laws for the heavenly Kingdom. Likewise, illegal immigrants are breaking the US immigration laws. They even are not citizens of the United States and therefore must return to their home countries, especially in the case of criminals.
According to President Trump’s policy, if illegal immigrants voluntarily return to their home countries, they can later apply to immigrate to the United States legally. That policy is entirely in line with God’s way, for He is willing to accept those who repent and obey Him back into Heaven, but Satan and his demons never repent.
As for humans, God also has His standards to choose and decide who will be allowed to enter Heaven in the future. God’s standard is that only those who have complete faith in Jesus Christ will be allowed into Heaven to live there forever, as stated in…
JOHN 3: 16 – For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Furthermore, God also specified another standard for people to be able to enter Heaven, which is to be born again, as the Lord Jesus Christ said in…
JOHN 3: 3 – Jesus replied: Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.
The third criterion by which a person can be admitted into God’s Heaven is that he must know how to live a holy and honest life, as affirmed in…
HEBREWS 12: 14 – Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.
If a person does not meet these three conditions, God will certainly not allow him to enter His Heaven, regardless of which church he belongs to or how many years he has attended church. That is because God’s word is never wrong and will last forever.
As God has His standards for who is allowed into Heaven, so too is the principle necessary for the governments of nations to decide who will be accepted to settle in their countries.
The reality is that all countries in the world have immigration laws to ensure that only those who meet the required criteria are admitted. Only weak countries are unable to protect their sovereignties and have to leave their borders open to foreigners who illegally enter.
The open border policy of previous presidents was a serious mistake, and could be a sinister plot of corrupt elements in the US government who want to use the illegal immigration situation to weaken and destroy the US economy from within as well as create insecurity and division in American society so that they can easily carry out their evil political plots.
That is why churches and Christians should not listen to the propaganda of those who plot to weaken and destroy America. We need to use the Bible and apply the principles in God’s Word to real events to determine right from wrong so that we are worthy of the title of children of light, children of God.
