1
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:10,339
Greetings. This is Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church

2
00:00:10,339 --> 00:00:16,120
with a moment of truth where we challenge you to think through an important issue of life and

3
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:25,320
faith. And today, with the virtual obliteration of our national border on the South, are we justified

4
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:33,200
in saying that we are bordering on extinction as a nation? That's a pun intended. Are we bordering

5
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:42,340
on extinction as a nation? Because by definition, a nation cannot exist without geographical borders

6
00:00:42,340 --> 00:00:48,179
to demarcate itself from surrounding people's places and nations. I can't believe that we have

7
00:00:48,179 --> 00:00:56,820
to state this. It's so obvious, but we do today. A border. The Oxford English Dictionaries defines a

8
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:05,480
border simply as the boundary line, which separates one country from another. Very simple and very

9
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:14,000
historic, because historically, borders have been essential and beneficial to the integrity

10
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,840
and very definition of a people, culture, and language. The Pyrenees Mountain Range, for example,

11
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:28,280
forms a natural geographical border between France and Spain. The Mississippi River forms a natural

12
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:36,519
boundary between Illinois and Iowa. James K. Polk won a presidential election in 1844 on the slogan

13
00:01:36,519 --> 00:01:45,760
54-40 or fight, which meant that the United States' claim on the entire Oregon territory was worth

14
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:54,060
fighting for. Even the cliché crossing the Rubicon has a reference to borders in that Julius Caesar declared

15
00:01:54,060 --> 00:02:01,219
his intention to be master of Rome by crossing the border between the Roman Empire proper, which was the

16
00:02:01,219 --> 00:02:08,580
river Rubicon, and the frontier which lay beyond it. Well, there's no such thing as a nation without

17
00:02:08,580 --> 00:02:15,520
borders. The Bible especially makes this clear all the way back to Genesis chapter 10. Genesis

18
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:23,520
chapter 10 delineates the 70 nations from which all the tribes, tongues, peoples, and nations derive

19
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:30,520
from the sons of Noah. Seventy nations are named, 70 being the number of fullness in the Scriptures,

20
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:38,520
and they are not merely generalized either, but given very specific borders and geographical demarcations

21
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:46,520
according to their, as Genesis puts it, lands, each with his own language, by their clans in their nations.

22
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:54,340
These distinctions are reiterated throughout the chapter. The three sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth,

23
00:02:54,580 --> 00:02:59,520
have their descendants listed according to their clans, their languages, their lands, and their nations.

24
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:07,460
And the apostle Paul apparently was aware of this as well, this ordering of the nations after the

25
00:03:07,460 --> 00:03:14,979
flood. He was aware of this in his sermon in the Europagus of Athens, when he pointed out that God,

26
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:21,479
and I quote, made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth,

27
00:03:21,479 --> 00:03:29,219
having determined allotted periods, and determined the boundaries of their dwelling place, unquote,

28
00:03:29,219 --> 00:03:37,719
from Acts chapter 17. Paul deduces three important facts from Genesis chapter 10, which it would be

29
00:03:37,719 --> 00:03:44,400
important for every Christian to keep in mind when pondering this question of borders, language,

30
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:52,759
and culture, as Michael Savage has so presciently noted throughout his entire career. Borders,

31
00:03:52,919 --> 00:03:59,439
language, and culture, right? Well, the apostle Paul also reflected on this topic, and the three

32
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:06,860
things he deduces from Genesis chapter 10 are, number one, we all derive from one parent, and now

33
00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:13,060
approximately that is Noah. He is the patriarch who survived the great deluge with his three sons,

34
00:04:13,060 --> 00:04:20,500
but remotely it is also Adam, our very first parent, from whom even Noah derived. Secondly,

35
00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:29,560
what the apostle Paul deduced from Genesis chapter 10, number two, God ordains the rise and fall of

36
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:38,399
nations. Periods of time are dominated by great nations and empires one or another, and they rise and

37
00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:46,199
fall according to God's will. That's the sense of God determining allotted periods. And then the third

38
00:04:46,199 --> 00:04:52,560
thing that the apostle Paul deduces from Genesis chapter 10 is number three, God determines the

39
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:58,740
boundaries of a people's dwelling place. God determines the boundaries of a people's dwelling place.

40
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:04,899
Those boundaries are their borders, that is, the line which separates one country from another.

41
00:05:04,899 --> 00:05:13,620
And as Genesis 11 goes on to tell us, well, God determined that man would not be of one language,

42
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:21,360
culture, and purpose. No. Remember in Genesis chapter 11, God says, come, let us go down there and confuse

43
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,040
their language so that they may not understand one another's speech, unquote. So the Lord dispersed them

44
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:34,920
from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city, from Genesis chapter 11.

45
00:05:35,339 --> 00:05:44,339
Rather, for the better disposition of grace and salvation, God has established diverse and distinct

46
00:05:44,339 --> 00:05:51,800
people's tongues and nations with their borders in order to keep mankind as diverse as necessary

47
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:59,680
in order to more peacefully and coherently proclaim the gospel to discrete nations, one by one, and thus

48
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:06,279
win the nations to the Lord Jesus Christ. One language, people and nation would have arrogated to

49
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:12,560
themselves the very heavens and God's throne if they could have. That is, nothing they propose to do

50
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:22,939
will now be impossible for them, unquote, as Genesis 11 says of the Tower of Babel. Well, that the salvation

51
00:06:22,939 --> 00:06:30,819
of mankind is in the plan of God can be seen in these early chapters of Genesis, having recreated the

52
00:06:30,819 --> 00:06:38,480
heavens and the earth after the deluge of destruction, God set about singling out a man from the nations,

53
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:46,060
from the line of Shem, in order to create a people for himself, salvation. And that man, of course, was

54
00:06:46,060 --> 00:06:53,439
Abraham, who himself would be the father of many nations. In fact, God promised him, and in you all

55
00:06:53,439 --> 00:06:59,939
the families of the earth shall be blessed, unquote. Indeed, all the nations of the earth have been blessed

56
00:06:59,939 --> 00:07:07,779
in the one man, Jesus Christ, a son of Abraham, the son of David. And he himself is busy about gathering

57
00:07:07,779 --> 00:07:14,100
up people for himself, even now, from among the nations to make into one people, his body, the

58
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:21,779
church. In fact, our command is to conquer the nations. The Great Commission, Matthew chapter 28,

59
00:07:21,939 --> 00:07:28,860
our Lord says, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples

60
00:07:28,860 --> 00:07:35,459
of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,

61
00:07:35,459 --> 00:07:42,220
teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always to the end

62
00:07:42,220 --> 00:07:49,899
of the age, unquote. And as well, in Mark, the text says, our Lord says, go into all the world and

63
00:07:49,899 --> 00:07:56,079
proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever

64
00:07:56,079 --> 00:08:03,779
does not believe will be condemned. And of course, in Revelation, what do we see but the great scene in

65
00:08:03,779 --> 00:08:10,959
heaven before the throne? We see John saying, after this, I looked and behold, a great multitude that no

66
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:17,300
one could number from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne

67
00:08:17,300 --> 00:08:23,959
and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands, unquote, from the book of

68
00:08:23,959 --> 00:08:31,660
Revelation. What glorious future we have. There is a nation, dear listener, there is a nation being built,

69
00:08:31,660 --> 00:08:39,299
which has no borders. It is Christ's church. And there will be no other universal people. Understand

70
00:08:39,299 --> 00:08:46,379
this. There will be no other universal people, no other comprehensive, all-inclusive nation other than

71
00:08:46,379 --> 00:08:53,360
Christ's church. The apostle Peter puts it this way in speaking of Christ's church. He says in 1 Peter

72
00:08:53,360 --> 00:09:00,600
chapter 2, but you, speaking to Christians, speaking to the church, he says, but you are a chosen race,

73
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:09,600
a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies

74
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:17,120
of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light, unquote. Any other project, dear

75
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:25,500
listener, to bring a one world government or make of the whole human race one united nation is not only

76
00:09:25,500 --> 00:09:35,539
doomed to failure and destruction, but it is by definition evil and anti-Christ. Genesis 11 is the template for

77
00:09:35,539 --> 00:09:45,379
all subsequent grasps after world government and a one people, one language human race. Satan has not

78
00:09:45,379 --> 00:09:53,100
given up his aspiration for a tower of Babel in which all of humanity is united under one language

79
00:09:53,100 --> 00:10:00,480
and one human project. That is an assault upon the throne of God, building a tower that reaches

80
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:07,600
unto heaven itself. Oh, and I would suggest that that dream is alive and well still in our world today

81
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:14,519
and embraced by progressives around the world. In fact, did you know that the Tower of Babel has its own

82
00:10:14,519 --> 00:10:22,059
national anthem? It does, its own national anthem. It's Imagine by John Lennon. Have you ever heard

83
00:10:22,059 --> 00:10:29,980
that song and how it indeed aspires to all of the principles of the Tower of Babel? You know its lyrics.

84
00:10:30,639 --> 00:10:38,879
For example, imagine there is no heaven. It's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky.

85
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:46,039
Imagine all the people living for today. Imagine there's no countries. Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.

86
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,419
Right here we have the Tower of Babel. Lennon goes on, he says, imagine there are, there's no countries.

87
00:10:52,820 --> 00:11:02,659
It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion, too. Imagine all the people living life in peace.

88
00:11:02,659 --> 00:11:10,039
Imagine no possessions, he goes on to say. I wonder if you can. No need for greed or hunger.

89
00:11:10,399 --> 00:11:18,299
A brotherhood of man. Imagine all the people sharing all the world. You may say I'm a dreamer,

90
00:11:18,419 --> 00:11:26,659
but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one. Oh, kind of brings

91
00:11:26,659 --> 00:11:35,720
a tear to my eye. Oh, a tear of pain. This is, of course, insipid, maudlin claptrap. But these kinds

92
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:43,320
of sentiments, and that's what they are, these kinds of sentiments are being used to justify an agenda

93
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:51,200
which is, in the end, tyranny. The feeling that we can imagine there's no countries, nothing to kill

94
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:58,580
or die for, and no religion to? Well, this is often used even today for the border dispute, even the

95
00:11:58,580 --> 00:12:05,940
border dispute. But before we expose the strategy for tyranny being used to enslave us in this

96
00:12:05,940 --> 00:12:13,220
argument, we must first have a clear idea as to precisely why there must be a tapestry of people's

97
00:12:13,220 --> 00:12:20,700
languages and cultures, a variety, and nations with clearly demarcated borders before our Lord

98
00:12:20,700 --> 00:12:28,360
returns to redeem all of creation. Number one, four I would like to articulate for you, why is there

99
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:36,519
people's languages, cultures, and borders? Ah, number one, borders give extent and definition to a people

100
00:12:36,519 --> 00:12:44,159
with a shared language, culture, and ethnicity. Yes, borders give extent and definition to a people

101
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:50,620
having a shared language, culture, and ethnicity. Borders have been aptly likened to a kind of

102
00:12:50,620 --> 00:12:56,299
cell membrane that regulates what goes in and comes out of the cell in the normal course of its life

103
00:12:56,299 --> 00:13:02,860
cycle. When a nation knows itself, it's important, when a nation knows itself, why it must be taught

104
00:13:02,860 --> 00:13:09,779
history and its values, right? When a nation knows itself and seeks to preserve itself, it admits into

105
00:13:09,779 --> 00:13:17,379
its body proper that which will nourish and benefit the whole body politic, and it rejects that which is

106
00:13:17,379 --> 00:13:24,360
toxic to its well-being. For example, a constitutional republic will receive those who desire to support

107
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:31,059
it and seek to contribute their skills and their gifts for the betterment of that republic and their

108
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:39,240
own prosperity too as well. And a constitutional republic will reject a Marxist, for example, for whom a

109
00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:47,200
constitutional republic is an enemy which they seek on principle to destroy. Such a person, a Marxist,

110
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:54,379
would no more be admitted to a healthy republic than a healthy cell would admit a cancer cell through

111
00:13:54,379 --> 00:14:02,820
its border, that is the cell membrane. So, I say deport all Marxists. Also, a constitutional republic would

112
00:14:02,820 --> 00:14:10,960
receive military-aged men in their borders who wished to serve in the armed forces of that republic to

113
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:18,500
defend it in exchange for citizenship, for example. But that same constitutional republic would reject

114
00:14:18,500 --> 00:14:26,419
an invading army or those who clandestinely enter in order to overthrow that republic by force.

115
00:14:26,419 --> 00:14:33,899
So, I say deport all Chinese soldiers and cartel gang members from the United States. Deport them.

116
00:14:33,899 --> 00:14:40,779
They are enemy soldiers against America. Also, a constitutional republic or any sane nation

117
00:14:40,779 --> 00:14:48,940
would receive into its population healthy, mentally stable persons who have a particular skill or gift

118
00:14:48,940 --> 00:14:56,419
and want to become productive law-abiding citizens. And that same republic would reject the sick,

119
00:14:56,419 --> 00:15:03,299
the diseased, the mentally insane, the mentally insane, and the morally bankrupt leech who only wants to get

120
00:15:03,299 --> 00:15:11,159
something for nothing. So, deport the sick, the insane, the criminal human refuse being dumped on our

121
00:15:11,159 --> 00:15:19,840
borders. National borders do these things. In the modern world, no nation can claim to be a people

122
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:27,379
with a shared language, culture, and ethnicity without physical borders to regulate the access

123
00:15:27,379 --> 00:15:34,759
and egress of those who either wish to benefit that nation or destroy it. This may seem quite simple and

124
00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:41,519
basic, but as I look around me, there is evidence that we have neither the national will nor the leadership

125
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:48,799
who is able to do these essential things. In fact, the leadership in particular is collaborating with the

126
00:15:48,799 --> 00:15:56,960
enemies of constitutional republics to destroy it and create something else. More on that in the future.

127
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:07,059
Number two, number two, why we need strong, clearly demarcated borders. Number two, nations defined by borders

128
00:16:07,059 --> 00:16:14,759
proves a fail-safe for the human race. Borders prove a fail-safe for the human race when they're effective,

129
00:16:14,759 --> 00:16:22,519
when they're clearly marked and demarcated. Yes, this is a practicality that has been observed by

130
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:27,679
historians from the earliest mists of time. Borders prove a fail-safe for the human race. When something

131
00:16:27,679 --> 00:16:34,440
goes really wrong in one country and it dies or is severely set back or degraded, other countries,

132
00:16:34,539 --> 00:16:40,720
not subject to what happened to them, go on and perhaps thrive and prosper. As the apostle Paul puts it,

133
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:47,679
God, having determined allotted periods for nations and peoples, when there are discrete nations and peoples

134
00:16:47,679 --> 00:16:54,620
with borders to protect their integrity, they are able to step in and ensure the survival of the race of

135
00:16:54,620 --> 00:17:02,559
mankind. In the Bible, for example, under Joseph, Egypt was one nation that prepared for seven years of want

136
00:17:02,559 --> 00:17:09,000
by storing grain during seven years of plenty. No one else in the then known world did this. And what

137
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,519
would have happened if Egypt had been just another cog in the wheel of one big world system, huh? Well, also,

138
00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:25,579
the evil demonic civilization of the Aztecs was dying at the arrival of the conquistadors in the 16th century.

139
00:17:25,579 --> 00:17:35,579
Oh, the Aztecs were practicing idolatry, human sacrifice, cannibalism, and ravaging sickness and disease was destroying

140
00:17:35,579 --> 00:17:43,740
a once-proud people. Only the intervention of religion and culture from Europe saved any remnant of them from

141
00:17:43,740 --> 00:17:53,299
total annihilation. What would have happened if Aztec culture was world culture, huh? Oh, yes, borders prove a fail-safe

142
00:17:53,299 --> 00:18:02,400
for the human race. Also, in A.D. 452, Attila the Hun swept into Italy with his barbarian hordes, hordes

143
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:10,619
which would soon decay, die, and fade away into the eastern mist. But for the present, all the Huns

144
00:18:10,619 --> 00:18:18,019
seemed unbeatable, destined to conquer. But on meeting Pope Leo the Great on a hill outside of Rome, where,

145
00:18:18,019 --> 00:18:25,039
indeed, the great Pope Leo was unarmed, humble, and gracious. Attila turned around and went home. Why?

146
00:18:25,740 --> 00:18:33,460
He said, Attila himself said, that above and around Leo he saw the glorious persons of Peter and Paul,

147
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:40,160
and Attila knew then who was stronger and who was destined to conquer. Oh, the bloody,

148
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:46,220
murderous culture of the Huns perished swiftly from the world. What would have happened to the human race

149
00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:56,240
if we were one big barbarian horde? Fail-safe, indeed. Yes, it is that borders and discrete nations

150
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:04,160
prove a fail-safe for the human race. Thirdly, why we need strong borders. Number three, nations defined

151
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:13,960
by borders, nourish and enrich all of humanity with variety. God has made humanity in great variety,

152
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:23,599
and it's all to his glory and our good. And borders protect that variety. Oh, just thinking

153
00:19:23,599 --> 00:19:29,140
about food, I'm getting hungry here. I love borscht, and I love German spazzo. But if the Germans had

154
00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:34,900
overrun Italy and supplanted its culture, as they tried to do several times, well, then I wouldn't

155
00:19:34,900 --> 00:19:41,940
have Italian pasta and cioppino. Oh, I love French collared shirts. I think Japanese cars are some of

156
00:19:41,940 --> 00:19:48,180
the best, most reliable on the market. And language, how beautiful are the variety of languages in the

157
00:19:48,180 --> 00:19:55,980
world. Oh, one of my favorite sayings taught to me by my Greek professor is, I speak to my broker in

158
00:19:55,980 --> 00:20:03,559
English. I speak to God in Spanish. I speak to my chef in French. I speak to my lover in Italian.

159
00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:13,700
And I speak to my dog in German. Oh, the variety of cultures that borders help protect. Borders also

160
00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:21,180
help protect racial diversity. Yes, racial diversity is good, but not to the discrimination against and

161
00:20:21,180 --> 00:20:27,200
superiority of one over the other. Let me qualify that in the first place. The European Union, for

162
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:34,200
example, is deliberately striving to bring to extinction the Nordic races by flooding the

163
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:42,819
borders of Norway, Sweden, and Finland with immigrants from the Islamic East. That is primarily from Pakistan

164
00:20:42,819 --> 00:20:51,000
and Syria and North Africa. Already, 10% of Sweden is Muslim and 7% of Norway. As one Muslim

165
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:58,000
cleric in Stockholm put it quite plainly, he said, we will outbreed the blue-eyed devils into

166
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:06,440
extinction. There it goes. Racial diversity, right? And of course, in our own country, the movement to

167
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:12,839
abolish whiteness. You've heard about this, right? The movement to abolish whiteness is but a recent

168
00:21:12,839 --> 00:21:20,980
iteration of this self-loathing trendiness. We, of the blue-eyed, blonde-haired, white-skinned race,

169
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:29,880
oh, we should all hang our heads in shame over our past and go quietly away and die and let black

170
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:36,000
and brown-skinned peoples dominate as they ostensibly should. They're more righteous and virtuous, of

171
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,279
course. Ah, dear listener, this kind of talk and this kind of thinking is evil and foolish. The borders of

172
00:21:44,279 --> 00:21:52,380
Norway, Sweden, and Finland help to demarcate ancient glorious cultures and traditions from which the

173
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:58,779
world has benefited for centuries and will continue to benefit if these peoples and nations wake up

174
00:21:58,779 --> 00:22:05,319
and take back their heritage. Hold the line on your borders if it's not too late. Well, the fourth

175
00:22:05,319 --> 00:22:17,039
reason we need strong borders. Number four, nations defined by borders glorify the God who made them.

176
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:24,900
Yes. Ultimately, borders glorify God. After all, as Paul tells us in that sermon to the Athenians,

177
00:22:25,140 --> 00:22:31,240
God determined historical dynasties and the boundaries and borders of dwelling places

178
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:38,240
for the purpose that, he says, they should seek God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him,

179
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:45,539
unquote. In God's plan, he's determined that he will be found within nations, bounded and defined by

180
00:22:45,539 --> 00:22:51,819
borders within which a people of a particular language and culture exist. God, the creator of

181
00:22:51,819 --> 00:22:57,200
nations and cultures, transcends them all, and he can be found in any national context.

182
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:03,660
That's demonstrated plainly in the world today, and that Christ's church can be found on every

183
00:23:03,660 --> 00:23:09,180
continent, country, and colony on the face of the earth. And where he is not yet known or preached,

184
00:23:09,319 --> 00:23:17,440
he soon will be. We have borders today because God has ordained nations, plural nations, to guarantee

185
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:26,740
that humanity will not agglomerate as one in defiance of and at war with the God who created them.

186
00:23:26,740 --> 00:23:32,079
One will follow the other. Make no mistake, dear listener, the world as one nation will assault

187
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:39,660
heaven itself via a tower of Babel as united rebels, and it will be to their own doom and destruction,

188
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:46,240
and consequently, for their own good, that they might seek God and find him, as Paul says. The human race

189
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:52,640
is divided into discrete nations with boundaries to their dwelling places that the gospel might reach

190
00:23:52,640 --> 00:24:00,000
them in due time. Consequently, if we in the United States of America have any common sense at all

191
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:07,420
remaining within our borders, we will protect the integrity of our borders because we respect the

192
00:24:07,420 --> 00:24:13,920
integrity of who we are as a discrete nation, separate from other nations of the world. If we know

193
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:21,819
ourselves, dear listener, and teach our history, if we know ourselves and hope to protect what we have

194
00:24:21,819 --> 00:24:30,440
and cherish, we will not only build walls, strong, secure, impenetrable walls at our borders, but our

195
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:38,019
entire national ethos will have figurative walls so that we can intelligently admit, friend, and

196
00:24:38,019 --> 00:24:46,960
eliminate foe on the borders of our national identity as well. Oh, yes. Well, dear listener, we have only

197
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:55,000
begun to address this existential issue of borders. That is, whether we allow access and egress at our

198
00:24:55,000 --> 00:25:03,220
point of entry with discernment and wisdom, or whether we are doing as we are presently doing, like

199
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:13,240
naive fools, allow indiscriminate access and egress to our own destruction, bordering on extinction.

200
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:19,920
Make no mistake, dear listener, there are enemies of the United States, even within our own borders,

201
00:25:20,180 --> 00:25:28,940
that seek to destroy what America is essentially. That is a Christian constitutional republic that is

202
00:25:28,940 --> 00:25:36,579
being sought to be revamped and destroyed and slaves made of us all. And much of it is occurring

203
00:25:36,579 --> 00:25:45,460
in and through our borders. Will we allow that to happen? Will we allow access and egress at our

204
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:51,299
point of entry with discernment and wisdom and strength? Or will we, like we're doing now, like

205
00:25:51,299 --> 00:25:58,759
naive fools, allow indiscriminate access and egress, and it will be to our own destruction, bordering on

206
00:25:58,759 --> 00:26:05,680
extinction? May we instead prosper and thrive, as Paul says, seeking God and perhaps feeling our way

207
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:13,160
toward him and find him. This has been Pastor David Bass at New Geneva Orthodox Presbyterian Church.

208
00:26:13,559 --> 00:26:20,099
