Romans 10:19
Again I ask: Did Israel not understand? First, Moses says, "I will make you envious by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that has no understanding."
God watches over what happens in a nation. He follows what goes on there. We think that He doesn't but, here we notice that He does watch over them. He knows what happens in a nation, if there is any injustice and unrighteousness. To turn that nation back to practising His ways for justice, uprightness and righteousness, He will rebuke that nation when the right time comes. He is the Creator of the whole universe and He rightfully corrects them. Many of us think that God has forsaken us. No, He hasn't! He knows every detail of each nation. Then we ask why, some nations don't seem like a nation. They are so poor, poverty-stricken and down -trodden. Why does He allow this to happen? Why some nations overdo everything with uncontrolled indulgence in various sinful activities?
He does monitor the situation in every country. He knows what is happening in every country, big or small. His time will surely come. He is a fair and just God to everyone. Sometimes, He will just allow the situation to go on to test and see, if the so-called leaders of a nation let the blame to come on God instead, even though the leaders themselves were responsible for creating that horrid situation for everyone in that country. He will wait and see what they will do. Of course, the easy way out will be to put the blame on God. He will wait and see if, they will do this with a dead conscience. Like many blame God for the poverty in their country but deep inside of them they know who is to be blamed for it.
Just like for individuals and organizations, He will also test the nations. He will use a 'foolish' nation in the eyes of the world to teach another nation that thinks high and mighty of itself, as though they are beyond the reproach of everyone around. This is what is happening in the passage above. A hypocritical situation arises anywhere, with an individual, organization or even in a nation. Can God turn these nations around? Only God can! Let's see how this happens in the passage below. Every form of injustice is taken into account.
Job 12:23-25
He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them. He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; he makes them wander in a trackless waste. They grope in darkness with no light; he makes them stagger like drunkards.
Why does He do this, you may ask? What do you promote there, to obey the sinful nature of the Devil or fear and obey God ? If you promote obeying the sinful nature of the Devil in them, then only you will reap an evil culture and nature from it's people. No one else is to be blamed for this, you alone! For example, if you promote prostitution in your country, what do you expect it to be, heaven? If there are related sicknesses and diseases as a result of this kind of sinful living that is allowed, do you still put the blame on God? Why don't you blame yourself for it? When you shift the blame to Him, will not God bring His punishment on you and the nation you so-call (mis)lead?
