Nations And God's Judgment

Is Your Nation Ripe For God's Judgment?

This is a very disturbing question because of what it implies. What provokes God's judgment on a nation? Both the Bible and history provide the clear reason that provokes the wrath of God. That reason is found in Psalm 9: verse 17

Quote:
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

When a nation forgets God... they forfeit their liberties to false gods. Nations around the world have chosen a deliberate path of forgetfulness of God that has resulted in nations of many gods (Romans 1:21,23). What are the symptoms that result from this deliberate forgetfulness?

1. A Path of self sufficiency - Psalm 9:20; Romans 1:21,23; Prov.14:12
2. A Pathetic view of life - Psalm 106:37,38
3. A Apathetic attitude for repentance - Revelation 2:21; 9:20; 16:9,11

Consistently in scripture and history, all three of the above references have always resulted in God's judgment. America along with many nations is no exception.

When will it be obvious to the general population that God is judging their nation?

#1: Real Shock - Psalm 9:20 Made to feel helpless. Their existence has been reduced to a very fragile state.
#2: Realizing Their Shame & Sin - Nehemiah 1:1,9
#3: Relying Upon God For Mercy - Psalm 9:9; 2 Chron. 7:14

I fear that many nations, (including America) are troubled nations that are in very serious trouble with God. It is painfully obvious that many nations are seduced by a false security and made vulnerable by their arrogant imagination of invincibility. The judgment of God will be most potent and obvious during The Great Tribulation when God will judge the nations of the world beginning with Israel.

What Does Your Nation Need Now?

1. The Word Of God Preached - The entire book of Jeremiah makes that obvious.
2. The Work Of God Reaching - The New Testament Church (not the United Nation- United Way - YMCA - AA) coming back to basics. The Church must avoid trying to Christianize the world and emphasize evangelizing her.

May God provide the nations of the world with revived Churches back to the Bible and holiness. There is no other hope... and there need not be. Jesus IS the only hope for the world (John 3:16).

Sincerely, Dr. Arthur Belanger
