The Ruler of the Nations

The proposition which I set before you this past Sunday was this – God’s Divine Government of the world shows us that all individuals, and all nations experience a dynamic display of His power to save men, and to judge men. I want to build upon what I said to you by making this further statement: There is a dynamic display of God’s power in His building a nation in righteousness, or His tearing it down in judgment. The truth that I would like to declare to you this morning is this: That just because God is sovereign, and just because He has decreed all things according to the counsel of His own will, does not mean that in His government of the world that He does not interact with individuals or nations to respond to what they decide to do in the various situations of life. God’s decrees encompass all of His actions from eternity past, to the creation of the world, to the end of the world, to the creation of the literal New Heavens and New Earth, and beyond into all eternity. In all of these works of God there is a dynamic interaction with His creature man, and all of the created universe.
