That's not just poetry, that's revelation from Heaven. Is there a nation on earth totally sold out to God?If it is not prospering now, look for it to soon.

America truly holds the records for churches, missions, and most other Christian categories. God has spared her from the worst of judgments so far, and prospered her beyond her means to contain it. There are seeds of self-destruction here, (abortion, homosexuality, sexual perversion, and worst of all , a weakening church) but so far God has stayed His hand.

By contrast, North Korea has been forced into the worship of a man. What can be said about a nation whose God is anyone but Jehovah?

"Righteousness exalts a nation..." Proverbs 14:34 The opposite is true, too. Genesis 20 tells the story of a "righteous", that is, morally good man and nation that had fallen into disfavor with God because of its unsuspecting mistreatment of Abraham. Because Abimelech and Gerar were ignorant of what they were doing, God spared and continued to bless that nation when Abimelech cried out, "Will you slay a righteous nation?".

No. No curse . Until later. In II Chronicles the area around Gerar attacked the nation of Judah under King Asa, a righteous man. To attack the righteous knowingly is to incur the wrath of God and later Gerar was decimated.

North Korea needs to understand that if it attacks God's people knowingly, only problems will ensue. "Sin is a reproach to any people," says God. (Proverbs 14:34). On the other hand, a former Pyongyang prospered as the Gospel was allowed throughout the land.

Nations rise and fall under the clear direction of God. He is longsuffering, patient, but judgment always comes when men and their domains turn their backs on Him.

Let's ask God to raise up righteousness in North Korea. One thing for sure, any nation exalting itself above the excellency of Jesus Christ needs to take these words to heart:
