There is a moral and spiritual force at work in the destinies of nations. The responsibility of government goes beyond mere calculations of economic or military expedience. To sacrifice moral and spiritual principles on such an altar will never serve the best interests of anmy nation. Ironically, the calculations that prompt this kind of conduct ultimately yield results opposite to those intended.
Likewise, a single verse in Job reveals that the destiny of every nation is determined by God: "He makes nations great, and destroys them; he enlarges nations, and disperses them" (Job 12;23).
For any nation or government, it is expedienct to gain the favor of almighty God, but it is extremely inexpedient to incur His disfavor.
