Deuteronomy 17:15King James Version (KJV)

15 Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the Lord thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

YES, VERY IMPORTANT VERSE. I quote it in MANY of my books.

God's LAW is foundational in order to preserve society, thus God's people have been fooled into abandoning it... ignorant preachers and conspiratorial preachers have taught the very opposite of what God commanded. Dumb dogs they are. Either too stupid to bark, not even knowing what danger is; or they are wolves among sheep. Christ Himself, the Personification of Wisdom declared, "He that sinneth against Me wrongeth his own soul; all they who hate me love death".

Also consider the "Balaam Plan", in which Balaam counselled Balak king of Moab to have the Midianites (the Moabites had been confederated with the Midianites), whore out their very wives and their daughters* and entice the Israelite men coming home from the fields from a day's work, to come in unto them, and after sacrificing to their pagan gods with them and eating the unclean abominable meats of their pagans sacrifices, the women would consent to sex.

[* This clearly establishes their utter immorality and vileness! (which I mention below)]

Balaam counselled that THIS was the ONLY way that they could ever defeat Biblical Israel (not to be confused with the people known as Israelis or Jews). GET ISRAEL TO SIN AGAINST GOD AND GOD WOULD NO LONGER PROTECT THEM. [For more details, see my book, The Post-Christian Era and the New Dark Ages; 112pp., pb., 10.50 + P&H.]

[God said that our body is His Temple and whoso defiles that Temple, God will destroy (I Corinthians 3:17)—usually affected by the Law of the Harvest: you reap what you sow; whether by unclean food, unclean peoples, homo-perversion —in any way that temple is defiled). What God declared to be abominations never change their nature into something wholesome and acceptable. God's entire Law is a moral issue. What part of "thou shalt not!" and "this thou shalt do!" don't you understand. Morality is established by what God commanded and forbade. There is no other source of morality (only delusion). "I am Yahweh and I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed" ... "be holy as I am Holy." God is Holy and Immutable; His Holiness does not change. Immorality never becomes moral. Evil never becomes good. Therefore, the Standard of Morality and Holiness for us cannot change or we cannot be holy as He is holy. This is not in reference to salvation, which is through faith in Christ, in His having borne our Judgment for us, for our very inherited sin nature and our individual violations of God's "House Rules" for His children—His Moral Code that God commanded that we observe "throughout all our generations forever". Obedience does not earn salvation. Obedience is what God requires of His children. Obedience is one reason why the Holy Spirit was sent to indwell each believer. When He (the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit) is come, He will convict of sin. "Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh" (everything that God forbade). The Holy Spirit will not lead into sin; when Christians sin, they go "off-roading" instead of continuing to follow the Holy Spirit on the "strait and narrow road". When a rebellious child is forgiven upon his repentance, that does not abolish the rules that he was commanded to follow; it puts him back into the father's good graces. As Christ instructed when He forgave sins... "go and sin no more". Whatever God declared to be an abomination 4,000 years ago, is still an abomination today--and ever will be! Get out your Strong's Concordance and look up every instance of the word abomination(s) in Leviticus and Deuteronomy (there are only about 30 instances). "Woe unto them who call good evil and evil good." One abomination leads into another; maybe not for every single individual—but certainly for society as a whole. One pillar of a building destroyed weakens the others. Termites consider pillars like Lay's Potato chips, "you can't have just one".]

The Midianites were pure descendents of Abraham, and like Sarah and the true Israelites descended from her, were beautiful and fair (though Midian descended from Abraham's second wife Keturah, we can assume Abraham took his second wife based upon his high standards with which he chose his first). The Midianite women could marry into Israel at one time. HOWEVER, once the Midianites began to confederate (and intermarry with) the cursed Moabites God forbade Israel to take Midianite women to wife.

The Moabites and Ammonites in all likelihood were doubly cursed, being born not only of incest, but also, Lot and his family had been living in the land of Canaan... after God destroyed 4 of the 5 homo-pervert Canaanite cities of the plains, WHOM ELSE would Moab and Benammi (father of the Ammonites) have married other than Canaanites? and even if they had found some noncursed kinsfolk to marry, in time their descendents assuredly intermarried with the Canaanites; being themselves cursed, what moral standards would the Ammonites and Moabites live by to prevent them from marrying other cursed peoples?

The Canaanites, likewise were cursed by God (also the product of incest, as well as Canaan having married a woman descended from Cain)--and the Canaanites, filling up the measure of God's Wrath in this curse, were an utterly vile people--who, masquerading as "God's people" are responsible for all of the very same crimes of immoral perversion / abominations even today in all the lands of Christendom (see Leviticus 18; 26,27—all the immorality and abominations, including homo-perversion, mentioned before vv.26,27 the Canaanite were guilty of; see also Ezra 9:1).

Now, we, God's true people, are a sinful people; we don't need any extra help sinning—but we get it anyway (and we get a bumper-crop when we sin against God and allow the heathen to live among us; and we learn their ways and "celebrate them" while being ashamed of our own God). It was always the "mingled peoples" that led Biblical Israel into sin; which peoples followed Israel (like seagulls follow a fishing boat) and stayed in the outskirts of the camp. Likewise, Christ spoke in parables because He spoke to a mixed multitude and the truth was only meant for His people (His sheep, not the dogs or pigs whom Christ commanded us not to give the children's bread to [Christ], that which is holy, the pearl of Great Price).

Understand, there were also some non-Canaanites living in the land of Canaan, as did Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (but they were the minority—and they didn't have a very long life-expectancy; like a lamb among wolves; like a white walking through the ghetto)—without God's Protection (and the "Secret Place" of the Most-High is obedience, only obedient children are sheltered under the shadow of His Wing).

There were non-Ammonites and non-Moabites who lived in those lands also; some migrated there in times of famine (see my commentary on Ruth, Sacred Truth Expository Commentary on Ruth: Ruth the Israelite, 328pp., pb., 18.00 + P&H); some were captured in battle. There have always been "migrants" or settlers. Had Lot not been commanded to flee Sodom, whom would his daughters have married? Why did Lot's wife look back? It seems likely that they had other daughters, who did marry Canaanite men of Sodom, and they refused to leave Sodom.

Regardless, God forbade having aliens rule over us. God forbade us to seek their peace or prosperity forever (Deuteronomy 23:6). God forbade us to intermarry with them. Violating one law of God is like the trickle in the dyke that will soon erode the dam and eventually destruction would burst forth. Violating seeking their peace and prosperity by "humanitarian aid" upset the delicate ecological balance and caused them to overpopulate and be cramped in their own land. Violating Christ's command not to give that which is holy to the dogs or cast pearls before swine opened the door; violating God's command in not letting aliens rule us then opened immigration to the alien world and "fast-tracked" their coming here, and being put on a tax-payer funded breeding program, to out-breed and out-vote us in our own land. God commanded thou shalt have no gods other than Me (literally, no other gods before My Face). Now you can drive down most any major city, take a deep breath, and drive past half a dozen pagan temples before you need to inhale again. THIS IS AN ABOMINATION! ABOMINATIONS ON TOP OF ABOMINATIONS. "The curse causeless shall not come." Violating intermarriage causes entire branches of God's Family tree to be polluted, and thus cut off from the tree forever. Once the root itself becomes corrupt, the tree is dead. This is the picture of Christendom--or Christendumb. Wisdom [Christ] saith, all those who hate Me love death." The Bible says to be a friend of the world is to be the enemy of God. But I thought God loved the world. There are different elements in the world being discussed in each verse; even as the words "people" or "nation" (erroneously translated as "gentile") are generic words, and identity of who is being discussed can only be determined by context and when considered in harmony with other foundational Scripture. "Come out from among them and join not the unclean people and ye shall indeed be My sons and daughters". Those who refuse to do so are thrust out. God does not cow-tow to modern corrupt notions of political correctness. God is not tolerant--He is Holy.

Modernly, Christians have been brainwashed into siding with the world instead of with God. "Those poor Canaanites", modern "Christians" think... how awful of God to tell His people to kill them and take their land. Thus, "Christians" have to invent apostate theology to reconcile their own perverse emotions and illogic, with the Word of God. Thus "Dispensationalism" was invented, along with Ariminianism (named after defective Dutch Theologian Jakob Harmenzoon, whose scholarly Latin name was James Arminius). Dispensationalism maintains that God has different plans at different times for different people. This is Blasphemy. God is Immutable and Holy. Others simply irrationally claim that the God of the New Testament is different than the God of the Old Testament (clearly, the God of the New is "progressive" and "hip" and not that "angry, vengeful" God of the OT; He is a "much nicer guy" now that He is on His meds, and has taken anger management classes and cultural sensitivity training--but even then you have to cut out large sections of the New Testament to maintain this antichrist theology). Arminianism is simply repackaged Pelagian heresy, that man is in charge of his own destiny and that man has "free will" (a will independent of God's Will, and God merely sits on the edge of His Throne, with His Fingers crossed, and wringing His Hands just hoping that man makes the right decision). This is not Biblical theology and the majority of modern demoninations (I like that typo, I shall leave it; it is more true than denominations) of Christianity either had their roots in it (such as Methodism, Wesleyans, Quakers, etc.) or have been "hijacked" into it. Just like corrupt politicians "pretend" to be conservatives, but then once elected, slowly hop scotch back and forth in various directions, and eventually "jump ship" entirely to the enemy vessel and fool the majority into jumping ship with them--leading them blindly like the Pied Piper, so also the MAJORITY (95%) of all Christian denominations, their schools, seminaries, and churches, have been subverted and 95% of all Christians have unwittingly been raised "in the enemy's camp" and don't even know true theology—and if they ever hear it, they reject it as if it is the most vile of error. If the light hurts your eyes, you've been in the darkness too long (and possibly don't even know what the light is, having never seen it). "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..."

God declared, All the souls are mine. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, the world and all they who dwell therein.

Those who reject this in favor of man's free will must invent a new theology and it is actually humanism, though deceptively called "Christianity" today.

Isaiah 51: 1Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 2Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

Jeremiah 4: 1If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the LORD, return unto me: and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of my sight, then shalt thou not remove [vascilate, wander].

Jeremiah 24: 7And I will give them an heart to know me, that I am the LORD: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God: for they shall return unto me with their whole heart.

Jeremiah 29: 13And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.

Jeremiah 31: 18I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. 20Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD. 21Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest

Acts 3:19: 19Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
