Transfer Of Wealth From Hostile Secular Nations To Christian Nations (Chap 11)

In the end days, the Church of GOD will have turned many of their nations to Jesus. GOD will have transformed nations and some will have declared themselves to be Christian states or nations. Christian nations should prepare themselves for this end-time transfer of wealth by preparing to open their doors to migrating Christians who cannot successfully create or operate Christian Economies within their own cities or nation states.

It may be possible that by that time Anti-Christ comes on stage to assume leadership for the whole world, that we have enough Christian nations on the earth, to provide limited airways and seaways. It is also possible to envisage that a few or even several neighbouring nations or states, to be largely Christian in their populations and co-operate to provide a larger platform for end time economic survival. However, be prepared that in many cases, the Christian economies may be very localized to communities within a nation, or to states within a larger country or a city or a cluster of cities. It fact, it may a good idea to head-quarter or incorporate companies that are doing highly sensitive and strategic work like payment and banking systems in Christian nations. It is possible for operations to be in many places all over the world even when headquartered in a particular city, say for example Jerusalem, the City of the Great King.

Nations have sovereignty. Supra-national organizations like the United Nations do not have sovereignty but operate more like a confederation of nations. Nations are therefore needed as a cover or boundary of protection, a shield for Christian Economies against a hostile secular world. One Christian nation has the sovereign right to trade with another Christian nation. This right is not subjected to any to any international body like the United Nations except by agreement. There will however surely be pressures from the international community.

It is noteworthy in Matt 25:31-46, that when Jesus comes back in glory and power that He will judge by separating nations into two categories. Nations will feature importantly in last day events. And the nations will be judged based on whether they are sheep nations or goat nations. Sheep nations are those who will feed, clothe and take in the Christians who are in want and distress and under persecution. And I must add that Christian nations should not only try their best to care for and provide refuge to Christians in want and distress due to last day persecutions, they must also do so for Jews who may have to flee their land. When Anti-Christ set up his throne in Jerusalem, the Jews must flee their country in haste (Matt 24:15-22).

Christian homes and even local churches in hostile countries alone will not be sufficient to get the job done. The Lord Jesus had indicated to us that it takes nations to do this task adequately. And praise GOD that Jesus prophesized that there will be sheep nations in the last days. And I pray that there will be many sheep nations rather than few. These will be nation states with mainly Christian governments and politicians who will be able to execute this necessary help in the last days despite minority descents in various quarters. Ultimately individuals have sovereignty and accountability to GOD for their own decisions and lives, eventhough there will always be social structures and authorities.

And so Christians must rise to political leadership and power in the last days. The last day Church will not only need Josephs but also the Daniels. May GOD help us! If we do not arise to political power and leadership, then we will not be able to have these sheep nations who will stand on the side of the kingdom of GOD and in opposition to the rest of the world who are set against the Lord Jesus.
