Who Would Jesus Deport?
I saw this sticker March 18, 2026 - in traffic and took a picture while stopped at the traffic light.
Let's talk about this.
A lot of people think that Heaven's gates are just ornamental and no one is excluded from being there. I want to tell you about that the beings that Jesus has already deported from Heaven.
In the New Testament, the book of Matthew, chapter 8 - says:
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever.
15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.”
God is infinite, and God - originally being by Himself, wanted companionship.
So, he created the angels to be with Him. He loved them and provided for them.
God is higher than anyone or anything He has created, and He expects to be treated accordingly. (Consider how celebrities and 'influencers' expect to be deferred to.)
Even more so, God expects to be treated in a certain way, and expects His created companions
to behave a certain way.
Now, it is alluded to in the Old Testament, that Lucifer, once in charge of Heaven's choir,
coveted the praise that God regularly receives in Heaven. So, Lucifer convinced 1/3 of Heaven's angels to start a war to take over Heaven. Lucifer and his band of traitors were defeated and deported, kicked out of Heaven. Between that time and 'The Judgement Day', they are kind of ...'around' and have the ability - to possess certain people who intentionally or unwittingly invite them into their lives.
Jesus said in Matthew 10:
17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”18He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
In my mind, "fall like lightening" = 'violent expulsion', like a slam-dunk.
Think of March Madness.
Lucifer is a created angel, created into Heaven, lived there in the presence of God, and understood thing about God that none of us can understand until we die. Lucifer decided to try to take over Heaven. He was disinherited, denaturalized and deported.
In fact, God created the place we call 'Hell' as a special place to put him, the other fallen angels, and lose that don't like Heaven the way it is.
When Jesus was here on earth, he cast out demons (former angels of God, also called unclean spirits) from people they had possessed. Jesus gave certain people the power to deport (cast out) unclean spirits from humans, where they have no right to be.
And on The Great Judgment Day, Jesus will refuse entry to Heaven to most people of the earth,
because of their lack of repentance for their unholiness. Jesus is the gatekeeper to Heaven.
New Testament, Book of Revelation, Chapter 21:
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be my children.
8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”
So, yeah. Let's talk about who Jesus would deport. (And given the crimes some of these illegals commit, how can they hope for anything but the eternal Lake of Fire, unless they confess and repent to God for their horrible sin-crimes.)
I understand people wanting a better life. When I was younger, over about 15 years, I spent about three months on construction trips to help build schools, children's centers and churches in poor neighborhoods in Caribbean cities. I've seen their woes and I understand the desire to escape crushing poverty.
But this needs to be done legally. The legal requirements help filter out the people who act like Lucifer and want to conquer, abuse and destroy everyone that resists their quest for absolute control of everyone in the country they immigrate to. Our immigration requirements also help keep women and children from being trafficked into our country.
Heaven too has legal requirements. One must be a citizen of Heaven before they can go to Heaven when they die. This process is called 'being born-again'.
We can go to Heaven because God loves us. Yes, He does love us.
But God sets the rules. Heaven has no voting booths.
(for those of you who write code, Heaven is an 'if-then' command.)

Ananias and Sapphira - killed for lying
New Testament, the Book of Acts, chapter 5:
1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property.
2 With his wife’s full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles’ feet.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart
that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself
some of the money you received for the land?
4 Didn’t it belong to you before it was sold?
And after it was sold, wasn’t the money at your disposal?
What made you think of doing such a thing?
You have not lied just to human beings but to God.”
5 When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died.
And great fear seized all who heard what had happened.
6 Then some young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.
7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.
8 Peter asked her,
“Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land?” “Yes,” she said, “that is the price.”
9 Peter said to her, “How could you conspire to test the Spirit of the Lord? Listen!
The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also.”
10 At that moment she fell down at his feet and died. Then the young men came in and,
finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband.
11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events.
