The Hand of God: In Nations

Brother Sam continues the hand of God (God's providence) and explains the hand of God in the nations of the world “He has mapped out the boundaries of their existence” in the words of Paul, showing fully well that God is sovereign over the nations An interesting twist to this teaching is the parallel drawn between the prophecies of Isaiah and Daniel and the particular time that Christ's incarnation occurred (corroborated by historical scholars) showing fully well that the Lord had beforehand sovereignly guided the rising and falling of empires before the rise of the great Roman Empire in which Christ came This shows that God doesn’t stand aloof in the affairs of the nations of men, but is deliberate; working out His salvation plan to redeem a lost humanity
