But I want you to understand that there are people in this world that have not heard about the Lord Jesus Christ. We ought to be thankful that we have the living God and we ought to be sharing our God with others. Years ago if you were in the Roman Empire you would have thought that the Empire would have stood forever. But when a nation denies God it will not stand. Our great nation was founded on solid Christian principles and we had better remember to return to those principles.
Nations are slow to remember the truth.
This scripture was also taught to Nebuchadnezzar. He seiged and captured Jerusalem, destroyed the Temple, and carried off most of the inhabitants to Babylon. In the middle of a party, an orgy, the hand of God wrote on the wall. This terrified Nebuchadnezzar so bad that his knees literally knocked together. King Herod learned this lesson too.
