- The text, "Nations and [[Divine judgment | Divine Judgment]]," explores God's role in international relations, emphasizing that while [[God]] is sovereign over nations, humans are still responsible for their actions. - The author uses biblical examples to illustrate how God judges nations, sometimes directly ([[Sodom and Gomorrah]]) or through other nations ([[Assyria]] judging [[Israel]], Babylon judging Judah). - While acknowledging God's sovereignty, the text emphasizes the lack of direct prophetic insight today, urging Christians to exercise caution in interpreting current events as direct divine judgment and to rely on biblical principles like justice, self-defense, and protecting the innocent in navigating international relations. ## Sources - [website](https://billmuehlenberg.com/2024/08/26/nations-and-divine-judgment/)
