Guess who created the nations

God is not against nations and borders and

border security. When all people tried to unite
without him ( in Genesis), and started to build

the tower of Babel, that is actually when God

started to create nations;

he spread people out, to build nations - he de-
cided their borders and he let each people have
its own language.

It is satan who wants to take away nationality,

borders and different people´s uniqueness, and

that we should feel ashame of what has been

built up of sound culture during generations in

our country.

When a "Judge" called Samson (the Book of

Judges) revealed that his long hair was the

secret to his supernational power - the enemy

cut his hair and Samson lost his power and

they stuck out his eyes so that he became

blind.

This was a real happening - but it is now a

picture that warns us not to lay down unique-

ness, our personality or nationality, because

of pressure - but be proud of it in a sound way.

Don´t let anyone blind you.

When God wanted to save the world, he

found a faithful man, Abraham, and he created

a people out of him, and he gave this people

a geographical landarea. Out of this people

came a Jew, Jesus of Nazareth - who became
the Savior of the world. This was the call of the

Jewish nation, to bring forth the Messiah.

Jesus is still a Jew (!) and he will once reign

from his own capital City, Jerusalem - says the

Bible. Jerusalem will at that time be the mid-

point of the earth and the nations, says the

Bible.

Each country and people has a special calling

from God. He has not forgotten a single people.

The Bible urges us as believers to "make dis-

ciples of Nations".

The bible says "we are nor Jew nor Greek,

nor man, nor woman.. but we are all one in

Christ". Does that then mean we shall skip

nationality?

Shall we then skip gender as well..? No, we

shall keep what God created, as "He saw that

it was good". But there is a high calling in

Christ for unity; nationality should not divide,

but should enrich in Christ.

We can read in the Bible that heaven was re-

vealed to St. John - so he could see people of

all nations before the throne of God, everyone

praising in his own "tounge".

We can read in the Bible prophesies that when

Jesus Christ has come back to rule in Jeru-

salem, for 1000 years (which will happen quite

soon..), the Nations of the Earth shall go up to

Jerusalem every year, to celebrate the King

of Kings.

Nations are of God and nations will continue to
exist. God will resist socialistic attempts to de-
stroy Nations, and their sovereignty; which he
has created as a safety and a platform for

each people to seek him and find their nation´s

calling and destiny.
