An Analysis on Mohler’s “Good News” Rejoicing

“We’re (The Church) looking at the very good news that the world is coming to us.”

Al Mohler
Speaking of Global emigration patterns

Deuteronomy 28:43 “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

Yeah … good news indeed. Just look at what a bang-up job we are doing already with all the world who has already come here. Why the Gospel is changing everything and everybody. The world who is coming here is converting hand over fist. Racial harmony is everywhere, abortion is down, minority on white crime is almost non-existent. Just imagine how successful the Gospel will be by 2046.

Why can’t Mohler open his eyes and see that who this is good news for is Lucifer? It is the Church that is being converted and it is being converted because it has accepted Cultural Marxism premises — including the idea that borders should be disregarded —  while thinking that such an infected non-Gospel is good news for anyone.

This is cowardice. Mohler is trying to turn Lev. 26/Deut. 28 upside down and pretend that what they describe as a curse is actually a blessing. Mohler’s out (consistent also with R2K) is to say that these verses of blessings and cursing no longer apply and that they only applied (or still apply) to Israel. The issue is that this requires us to believe that what God calls a curse on one nation is actually a blessing on other nations.

I wonder if Mohler’s counterpart in the Aztec priesthood said something along the lines of, “We’re looking at the very good news that the Christian white man is coming to us?” Or maybe Cortez wrote home telling about his great successes with the Aztecs: “The killing of virgins is down, fewer people are being dismembered, and the High Priests have entered into dialogue with our pastors.”

The fact that the world is coming to us is indicative of God’s judgment against us. God is exiling the visible church in the West by keeping it in its own homeland while flooding the West with the stranger and the alien so that the stranger and the alien become the head and not the tail.

Now let’s be clear here. The point is not that we should not preach Christ to all who come within the sound of our voice. The point is that it is foolish to flood one’s land with peoples who are strangers to our faith, our customs, our history, our language, and our culture and who often hold antipathy to the same. Yes, we must herald the Gospel but all because we must herald the Gospel that doesn’t mean, contra Mohler, that it is good news that we are being flooded with those who are making the visible church exiles in the land of their Christian Fathers.

Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
