God has set boundaries for mankind; within those parameters He promises general protection for their nation. If we bind together with those in rebellion with God what will that mean? God's commission for the Church is for convincing the world to follow Him, not forcing. It is fore national governments to know God's will and make laws that help the public stay with in God's boundaries. It is a matter of national security.
Rome was, in
its beginning, a nation of high moral standards as compared to pagan peoples of those days. So they were allowed to become powerful, rich and successful. Over the course of time their morality became decadence and debauchery and they rejected God. And turned their gods into condoners of their evil doings. Then they turned in hatred against God's people trying to murder them all. So God brought and allowed destruction to fall on the most powerful and riches nation in the world. staying close to God and remaining moral is a matter of national security.
God is the
same to every nation, kindred and tung; as he is and was to Israel so shall He be to all. What God was He is and will always be. There is real comfort in knowing that God and His boundaries never change. I know that though the world and men may change God will never change; He is the true constant.
