God does not recognize borders.

Contrarily, I think God is about borders, both moral, spiritual and physical. All of these figured from Egypt to Sinai into Cannan.

God lays borders and soverignty out specifically in Deuteronomy 34. And, I believe, in His divine purpose for history, expects at least America and Israel to defend theirs toward their continued projection and promotion of goodness in the world.

God's concern is with individual hearts. Borders on Earth are man made constructions for the defining the geographic area of a nation. Moral, spiritual and physical laws have some analogous component, but borders here are man made geometric limits. The Holy Spirit does not counsel men to concern themselves with borders when dealing with others.

Deuteronomy 34:5 "And Moses the servant of the LORD died there in Moab, as the LORD had said."

God does not reign over the dead, but the living. The only important borders are between Heaven, Earth and Hell. In the same way Moses is not dead, He also crossed over into the promised land.
