Ezekiel 32 describes Egypt going to the underworld as if it were a mortal entity. It goes further and mentions many other entire nations who already reside in there - again, as personified identities, not "the people of X" but rather "X is there". This is an acknowledgement at the existence of nations, and it goes a step further still - that nations are not mere human constructs, but are part of the human nature and spirit, and indeed possess a spirit in their own right. This is proof that different nations are indeed compatible with God, and that entire nations are judged by Him and not just individuals. A universal world will only be brought upon after the events of the Apocalypse, when God comes down to Earth and sin and death are vanquished. Until then, we must act in accordance with our nature and spirit, and work within different nations, with borders.

>>18240921>>18240936u-uhh Jesus overruled this when he said he should create a world government or something. Just listen to John Lennon's "Imagine"
>>18240921The jews were seething at other nations like always.
>>18240921>>18240936Libshits are clueless about the bible that is expected, the problem is so many Catholics and mainline Prots also fall for "le jesus wanted open borders meme"
>perpetually butthurt about enslavement in Egypt for multiple millennia >Egyptians write every little thing down but never mentioned them
this is highly problematic
>>18240921Good Lord, anon, have you never heard of a metaphor? You think nations have literal souls that are punished?
>>18242941Not souls, but they are part of the human spirit, and yes, they are judged. We are not just individuals.
If you understand the celestial hierarchies, you'll know that "nations" are just a reflection of principalities.While this can justify the existence of nations, nations ultimately only have a small amount of power and if any nation is worth it's salt, it would work to elevate the lower rung of people within it. Nations can be evil just as celestial beings can be evil.Don't bow down to any nations or principalities because they only point to something greater.
>>18240921Nations are just lines on a map from old wars, why do you bringing God into this? God is about love and stuff, not judging a whole country like a person. We're all just people on one planet, borders are fake and we should all just get along.
>>18242941Many cultures in the Middle East thought that sin was a literal substance that not only effects the individual, but spreads to the nation as a whole. There's a bunch of different nation cleansing rituals, similar to Yom Kippur. Some of the natives in the Americas also had similar rituals.
