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.
