Scripture & Immigration

“As for the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the sojourner who sojourns with you, a perpetual statute throughout your generations; as you are, so shall the sojourner be before Yahweh. There shall be one law and one judgment for you and for the sojourner who sojourns with you.”

Numbers 15:15-16

“The same law shall apply to the native as to the sojourner who sojourns among you,”

 Exodus 12:49 

 “There shall be one standard of judgment for you; it shall be for the sojourner as well as the native, for I am Yahweh your God.”

 Leviticus 24:22  

Now what do we learn from the above Scripture?

We learn that God’s law was to be a unitary factor in providing social consensus and cohesion for how peoples of different stock were to live w/ each other.

We also learn that sojourners were always considered “other.” They may well have lived cheek by jowl with the Hebrews but they were always considered “sojourners.” All in the social order were to be ruled by the same law but not all in the social order were the same people. The law gave a unity wherein the diversity could operate. Unity in diversity.

This bears on immigration policy for a Christian people. If we are to have immigrants (sojourners) dwelling among us they must dwell among us as being beholden to God’s Law. God’s law is the means by which the immigrant is not allowed to re-make the nation he is sojourning into a nation that now serves his foreign gods. By being required to adhere to God’s law as the norm that norms his behavior the sojourner, while always remaining a sojourner, is allowed to functionally assimilate.

When you combine this with Israel’s law about land always returning to the family of origin with each Jubilee it is clear that Immigrants would never be able to take over Israel, as from the inside, in order to re-craft it into a nation serving other gods.

The current immigration laws that began with Hart-Cellar  in these united States guarantees and ensures that the current nation, once comprised by particular Christian European peoples, will eventually become both a non-Christian and a non-European descendant people. We are seeing that already happen in places like Dearborn, Michigan and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Epic City, Texas and Lewiston, Maine.

All of this is in conjunction with the long goal of the New World Order types to replace the White Anglo Saxon Protestant with the third world denizens. Its success is seen in the Muslim call to prayer heard from loudspeakers in Minneapolis, its success is seen in the intent to rule by Sharia law in Epic City, Texas, its success is seen in the fact that Dearborn, Michigan is renaming streets in memory of a Hezbollah terrorist, its success is seen by Lewiston, Maine being nicknamed “Little Mogadishu,” its success is seen in countless numbers of Muslim, Hindu, and Pagan candidates running for major offices around the country.

Our current legal immigration policy is a death wish. It is not enough to close our border to illegals. It is not enough to ship back all the illegal immigrants (presuming of course that is even really being tried). What is needed is a return to a 1924 type of immigration policy that was supported by a President who could say today along with President Calvin Coolidge in the run up to the 1924 immigration legislation;

“There are racial considerations too grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological laws tell us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. The Nordics propagate themselves successfully. With other races, the outcome shows deterioration on both sides. Quality of mind and body suggests that observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law.”

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.

One thought on “Scripture & Immigration”

  1. Sojourning among you may also have meant they were not meant to stay permanently.
    Sodom used a totally seperate law for visitors. It basically robbed them and cheated them up and to include their freedom or life.
