“Even if imperfectly conceived under the various schools of paganism, race consciousness, nationalism, segregation, and anti-miscegenation laws were normative in the ancient world. And the exceptions wherein integration was promoted were invariably in terms of the most aggressive anti-Christ imperial orders such as Babylon, Assyria, Babel, the Soviet Union, and the UN.”

I think we have to add the US, Europe, Australia, and South Africa to that list now.
God’s revelation teaches us that Nationalism is the Biblical social order and Nationalism by definition means a people descending from a common ancestor. Now, certainly Kinists understand that the pursuit of “one drop” rules is nonsense and so intuit that nations can exist while having within their borders those who do not belong to the core people group, but the fact that exceptions might exist doesn’t change the rule.
Also, it should be said here that Kinists pursue these truths out of love for God and love for others. It is not love to kith and kin to allow the social order to become mamzer. Indeed to be party to such is to hate God, our children, and our neighbor.
However, now we must realize that we have lived 60 years in the mad pursuit of a social order that is essentially a disintegration into the void. Our identity is increasingly become one of non-identity — a nihilistic approach if one ever existed.
Such a program, unless arrested, will end in blood and chaos. Empires always eventually fly apart. We have seen this in our lifetimes with the evaporation of the former USSR.
And whose purpose does this mass integration serve? It serves the goals and designs of Marxism, which is itself the theology of Hell. The end goal is the elimination of peoples, places, and family. If all are kin then nobody is kin.
Of course all this is driven by the desire to destroy the Creator-Creature distinction. If no horizontal distinctions exist as between peoples than the final assault on destroying the distinction between God and man is more easily achieved. Or, if one prefers, the destruction of horizontal distinctions is birthed by the present reality that the distinction between God and man has been blotted out. However, one argues this, the loss of peoples, places, and families is intended to pull Christ off His throne and destroy the faith once forever delivered to the Saints.
If we lose here we lose everything.
And that is why we will not lose. God will no more be mocked in 2024 in His world than He would not be mocked at the tower of Babel.
Those who fight against Christian Nationalism/Kinism/Ethno-Nationalism war against heaven. In this warfare against God Christians are especially going to be sorrowful and sorry for ever calling righteousness wickedness.
In my world, such people if upon being instructed in the Christian faith on this matter continue to insist on “cosmopolitanism,” “Liberalism” and “Alienism,” are outside the faith.
Great article. This may surprise you, but I actually prefer it when we agree. I’ve also really loved Ehud Would’s articles over the years.
I’m glad to have you around Ron. I don’t need an “Amen” corner. Thanks for your kind words.
Even G. K. Chesterton, who actually was, at least in ethnic issues, a quite “PC” writer (he often and explicitly bashed the German Protestants for arrogant race-pride and self-idolatry – he was sort of like E. Michael Jones of his day, daring in some matters, timid in others), agreed about this “anti-multiculti” aspect of Christian ethos – he put it like this, in his critique of pantheism:
http://www.online-literature.com/chesterton/2592/
“This blind intention to absorb, to change the shape of everything and digest it in the darkness of a dragon’s stomach; this is what is really meant by the Pantheism and Cosmic Unity of the East. The Cosmos as such is cannibal; as old Time ate his children. The Eastern saints were saints because they wanted to be swallowed up. The Western saint, like St. George, was sainted by the Western Church precisely because he refused to be swallowed. The same process of thought that has prevented nationalities disappearing in Christendom has prevented the complete appearance of Pantheism.
All Christian men instinctively resist the idea of being absorbed into an Empire; an Austrian, a Spanish, a British, or a Turkish Empire. But there is one empire, much larger and much more tyrannical, which free men will resist with even stronger passion. The free man violently resists being absorbed into the empire which is called the Universe. He demands Home Rule for his nationality, but still more Home Rule for his home.”
Nicely put “in a nutshell”. Brilliant in fact. Thank you for this.
In his late dialogue “The Laws,” Plato registered his opinion that if Greece had succumbed to the assault of Xerxes, the Hellenes would have lost, among other things, their “right to racial self-determination,” so to speak – they would have no longer possessed the proud freedom to safeguard the purity of their peoples. They would have been subjected to the kind of imperial ethnic re-engineering that Ehud (and GKC) talked about.
In other words, this is how the Greeks saw the Persian Empire, two or three decades before Alexander the Great overthrew it. After all, even the Old Covenant Jews, as seen in the efforts of Ezra and Nehemiah, had to struggle very actively to be able to keep their identity in the Achaemenid Empire:

“Many are the discreditable charges one would have to bring against Greece in relating the events of that war; indeed, it would be wrong to say that Greece defended herself, for had not the bondage that threatened her been warded off by the concerted policy of the Athenians [693a] and Lacedaemonians, practically all the Greek races would have been confused together by now, and barbarians confused with Greeks and Greeks with barbarians,—just as the races under the Persian empire today are either scattered abroad or jumbled together and live in a miserable plight.”
