Natural disasters, drought, crazy weather patterns
Moral decadence at every level of society
Christians becoming the Enemy of the State
The Church is full of sin and “asleep at the wheel”

GOD REALLY DOES HAVE THE WHOLE WORLD IN HIS HANDS
He created all the nations and their languages ( Gen 11)
He determined their boundaries and when they should exist (Acts 17:26) “and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation...”
“When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided all humankind, He set up boundaries for the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel”. (Deuteronomy 32:8).

GOD DETERMINES THE RISE & FALL OF NATIONS
“God said to Abram, "Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, where they will be enslaved and oppressed four hundred years. (Gen 15:13)
Daniel told the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar: “You shall be driven away from human society...until you have learned that the Most High has sovereignty over the kingdom of mortals and gives it to whom He will (Daniel 4:32).
Daniel predicts coming of four kingdoms in sequence: Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece, Rome ( Daniel 2)

GOD CONTROLS THE GOVERNMENTS OF NATIONS
“ Let every person be subject to the governing authorities; for there is no authority except from God, and those authorities that exist have been instituted by God” (Rom. 13:1).
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth" (Romans 9:17).
The king’s heart is like channels of water in the hand of the Lord, He turns it wherever He wishes” ( Prov. 21:1)

GOD CONTROLS THE POWER & HEARTS OF LEADERS
“Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations... I will give you the treasures of darkness and riches hidden in secret places, so that you may know that it is I, the LORD, the God of Israel, who call you by your name.”
“And the LORD said unto Moses, ‘...see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.” (Exodus 4:21) (9x)

GOD USES EVIL MEN FOR HIS PURPOSES
Romans 9:17-18: "For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I raised you up, to demonstrate My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed throughout the whole earth." So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires."
"...there were gathered together against...Jesus... both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, to do whatever Thy hand and Thy purpose predestined to occur," (Acts 4:27-28)
