Exodus

The priests and Levites from all their districts throughout Israel sided with him [King Rehoboam]. The Levites even abandoned their pasturelands and property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem because Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them as priests of the LORD. And he appointed his own priests for the high places and for the goat and calf idols he had made. Those from every tribe of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the LORD, the God of Israel, followed the Levites to Jerusalem to offer sacrifices to the LORD, the God of their fathers. They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam son of Solomon three years, walking in the ways of David and Solomon during this time. (2 Chronicles 11:13-17)
Reminds me of Christian Exodus:
ChristianExodus.org offers the opportunity to try a strategy not yet employed by Bible-believing Christians. Rather than spend resources in continued efforts to redirect the entire nation, we will redeem States one at a time. Millions of Christian conservatives are geographically spread out and diluted at the national level. Therefore, we must concentrate our numbers in a geographical region with a sovereign government we can influence through the electoral process.

a movement of Christians trying to take political control of a country....the idea being if the government was ruled by Christians then the rest of the country would repent as well. I think it will result in the creation of a christian world where all the christians gather in one safe huddle where no one else can hurt them....perhaps they will take power...what are your thoughts Christop?

I expect that if they did manage to get enough Christians to take over the area, they'd probably just have schisms among themselves anyway.

What does everyone else think?

Sounds to me like they are trying to create a government of their own--with a "christian" name to it. It's not about taking over Australia. It's about advancing the Kingdom of God. Christians are not above other people. We are not perfect. It sounds segregated rather than incarnational.

I can't imagine people even trying it in Australia.
