God and Nations

Does God still interact with nations as a whole? Like, with the Prophets of old does God still cause nations to rise and fall based on some measure of their collective choice for or against him?

The Pope has noted that European’s choices against babies are causing them to lose political and economic standing in the world. Their economies will soon be incapable of being sustained at this rate. Conservative Christians have consistently maintained that abortion and small families are inherently selfish, evil and bad for society. Vladimir Putin, Russia’s President is also making choices that are setting his country up for long term ruin. Putin’s religious orientation is hard to pierce.. is it Zen Buddhism? Hitler also had a Buddhist mentor and led his country into genetic scientific horror; these modern day scientists should be ware. Putin, a strong leader, will be held responsible for how he leads Russia. On a modern day twist about governments and God, Global warming certainly represents a major spiritual orientation. Specifically, it is held mostly by the pop science-is-god crowd. Gore’s attempt to tie belief in it to the Capitol of the USA is unfortunate. These believers believe that mankind has the potential to destroy itself and that God is not part of the equation. Christian Creation Stewardship advocates argue that God gave mankind stewardship of the planet. However, they forget that mankind lost its role in stewardship almost immediately with Adam’s fall into sin. God has been central to the redemption of the world from the beginning. Here in the United States, Sean Penn continues to hammer Bush. His approach to spirituality is largely socialist/Marxist power to the people. It is good to remember that Marxism, which is inherently godless, has failed everywhere that it has been tried. Modern day Europe is currently failing due to its pervasive embrace of the utopian ideal. Hugo Chavez, in Venezuela, is showing a modern day face of godless democratic socialism. It is natural that Chavez and China, Russia and Iran all find themselves in coordination with each other. They all hold to a false religious orientation. Islam, of course, naturally fits with communism due to its big brother is watching fear society orientation. In Iraq, the willingness of muslims to kill innocents and children is shocking in its brutality. Though, in the end, corruption and infighting end up destroying all of these regimes. At the least, the suppression of free speech, like Mike Adams is facing a UNCW here in the USA, and like the homosexual agenda has made less free, makes them less aware of their need for change.

The reality is that nations still face blessing or judgment from God based on their willingness to repent and submit to His righteous commands. If we reject God, should we be so surprised when he withholds his blessing? God help us and have mercy on us.
