WHAT A BIBLICAL NATION LOOKS LIKE

Should our country have walls, border patrol, free entrance for refugees, and rights for any/all minorities, faiths, and ethnicities? Is there a biblical model or biblical precepts of a Godly prototype? That would help!
We are living in apocalyptic times, so why not have a look at the Apocalypse, the Revelation, the only book that says it is Yeshua's disclosure (Revelation 1:1). It is also the only book in the Bible that promises a blessing to the one who reads, hears, and obeys (Revelation 1:1-3). Interestingly, many Christians are citing Jesus these days, but they have not read Him in His book, and they do not know Him. They are citing Him in the context of His OT appearance (Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), but not regarding His NT words inaugurated at Pentecost, Acts 2. His grand finale in the Holy Scriptures is His own book that He gave Yochanonon Patmos, the scroll of Revelation
So, can anyone come into His nation? Yeshua did say, “come,” but there is a context to His invitation. The character of the heirs must match the character of His nation! Also, note that there is a wall, a great wall, and a high wall, all the way around the ‘holy nation.’ Is that to keep someone in or out? Ask Adam! 
There are twelve gates in that wall, three on the north, south, east, and west, and note there are twelve angels as border patrol. His ‘nation building’ book, the Apocalypse goes on to say, no refugees get in without their having the same character as that kingdom. Like Kingdom, Like Son! Outside the walls are those not allowed in. Their character doesn’t fit the spirit of the kingdom. These are “dogs” (the unclean), “sorcerers” (demon spirited), “immoral persons” (without Godly impetus), “murderers” (killers of babies in the womb, killers of parents, neighbors, others, even those who hate, Yeshua said), “idolaters” (lovers of other than the Bible-God), and “liars” (those who speak and live other than truth). Yeshuacontinues to say, that many nations will exist and all will demonstrate the same character of Himself. They will walk/comply to the light that beams forth out from His kingdom, and these nations will regularly send their ambassador-kings to visit.
America is not that kingdom, but neither is modern Israel or any other present nation. Yet, I like very much the idea of forming our country in the shadow of the coming messianic kingdom, don't you? His is a perfect model! This is what David did. This is what Solomon did. This is what Yeshua says in His book that He will do. 
Interestingly, the character of Yeshua and His father, God is maligned by religious humanists and leftists, today, who caricature our nation of America to be ‘godly’ only when we allow everyone to do what’s right in their own eyes. “Sound familiar? It should. It happened to Israel!
