I Want What Cory Booker Wants - Sorta

 · 

When I became a grandfather I realized that I was fundamentally a liar. And I lied to my children as well.

I sang sweet lullabys to them with words like:
"rock abye baby on the tree tops
When the wind blows the cradle will rock.
When the bow breaks the cradle will fall
and DOWN WILL COME BABY C R A D L E   A N D   A L L.

The first thing that I wanted my children to learn was that they had come into a world that was safe and secure... where they were surrounded by love.

SUCH IS NOT THE CASE!

This world is cruel and it leads in only one direction: 

D E A T H.

Do I want a world without walls? ABSOLUTELY!

But the population of this world is not prepared to have a world without walls.

That day will come. In Zechariah 14, after THE great and devastating battle, it says that:

"Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles."
(Zech. 14:16)

So let me ask: "How is the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkoth) celebrated?" WITHOUT WALLS. Former enemies of Jerusalem are to come to the Holy City and camp out in booths made of nothing but sticks, to worship the King of Kings and learn from His Law about how people can live together in peace. Instead of walls, former enemies are left exposed and defenseless before one another and before God.

Believe it or not, I want exactly what Cory Booker wants. But I know that the world is not ready for what we want. I dare say that what Cory Booker wants at this present time will only lead us inevitably to that devastating war that Zechariah predicts. I also know that beyond that war is a glorious future in which the world government will "rest upon the shoulders" of the just, yet compassionate Messiah, Jesus.

In Light of the New Wave of Immigrants Coming Just In Time for the Mid-Term Elections

I'm posting this picture again. Several years ago, a friend, whom I respect, who's deeply involved in the foreign mission field, unequivocally said "we must let needy immigrants in." In one sense, I can understand her passion and sense of "Christian" charity. By the same token Jesus DID say, "be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves."

I pondered the immigration problem in light of the present push towards globalism and realized that it could, very well, be a ploy, exploiting human misery as a battering ram for the purpose of destroying national borders. Hence, I came up with the attached "picture." I concede that it does reveal a strong element of synicism but I'm actually encouraged that Trump modified one of my points by, rather than "bombing the crap" out of those who make it difficult for those who seek asylum here, providing economic pressure on them instead. In the meantime, Congress has definitively refused to come up with a solution by law.

I post this because the subject is, once again, coming to the forefront in light of the fact that, just in time for the mid term elections, a swarm of Honduran "refugees" is coming to "knock on the national doors" and I believe that, in spite of the need for compassion, what I'm pointing out here needs to be entered into the equation as well.
