Nations Rise and Fall on God
Commentators like Albert Barnes and John Calvin explain that this verse reveals a universal principle: any nation or kingdom that refuses to align with God's purposes and serve His people will ultimately perish. Barnes points to the fall of ancient empires like Babylon and Rome as historical proof. This isn't about military might, but about a nation's moral and spiritual foundation. A nation that rejects God invites its own ruin.
