Italian police have arrested a German sea captain who had rammed a much smaller military vessel which was trying to prevent the illegal landing of 53 African migrants on the small Italian island of Lampedusa. She was led away in handcuffs after her failed attempt to get permission to land  and was arrested for “resisting a warship”, an offence that carries up to ten years in jail.

Italy and Europe have tired of the endless stream of African migrants who seek to force their way into Europe, aided by “human rights” organisations who provide ships which encourage people smugglers to launch groups of African migrants on overcrowded rubber dinghies which have no chance of crossing the Mediterranean.

Unknown thousands have drowned in the process, even as we saw with the boat people attempting to reach Australia and enter illegally, but after rescuing these drifting migrants this captain refused the offer of the Libyan government to disembark them in Tripoli, and instead took them to Lampedusa, nearly sinking the small government vessel in her attempt to force the acceptance of these migrants upon Italy.

The logical conclusion of such acts, were they not to be resisted, would be the end of nation states as we know them, and the orderly  acceptance of genuine refugees in dire need would end. Each nation has the responsibility  to care for  and govern its own people, and if it fails to do this, for any reason, other nations have the right  to decide  how to respond, depending on the circumstances.

Very often  it seems that these are migrants fleeing the results of Islamic violence and war, who seek to bring their dangerous beliefs into Europe, where a peaceful Christian civilisation is already suffering Islamic terrorism. Were it not for the set boundaries of nations, European civilisation as we know it would perish.

Deuteronomy 32:8, ‘When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when he divided all mankind, he set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.’ NIV.

Acts 17:26, ‘From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries.’ NLT.

We are going to see an even stronger European response  to this growing problem before long, when the prophesied ‘Beast’ Power emerges in Europe.
