Nations rise and fall! Why ? Because sooner or later they abuse their dominions and become unjust, cruel and warmongering. Then the Lord judges them,and overthrow their powers.
We have seen it with many different empires throughout history. Egypt, Babylon, Rome, Spain, Ottomans, the mongols etc..
For hundreds of years, the European nations exploited, killed and enslaved millions of people.
African slavery, colonization etc..
Europe was a terror to the world.
But the Lord did bring judgment upon them .

Europe was a terror to the world.
But the Lord did bring judgment upon them .
In a short amount of time, from 1914, to 1945 two devastating world wars wreck havoc upon Europe, destroying millions and laid many nations to ruin.
The evil they had exported upon others came back upon their own heads.
And so it is friends,God empowers nations for a time, give them dominion. But when they abuse such dominion and bring misery upon others, know for certain the Lord will judge them. He will either allow them to fight amongs themselves (civil war ) or bring other nations against them. Sometimes weaker nations.
Babylon was a great nation, appeared invincible, but the Lord use the Medes and Persians to overthrow them.
Rome was mighty, did wickedly, but over time was attacked by barbarians and splintered.
France oppressed African slaves in Saint Domingue (Haiti), but the slave eventually rose up and defeated the French army, massacred the french colonists .
America had africans in chains for centuries, a devastating civil came upon them. The civil war has been the deadliest war for the United States.
God judges nations. The Lord doesn't change.
The same God who judges nations in the past for their oppression and tyranny will judge nations today.
America is now the greatest nation on ths planet. If It continue to abuse this power, wage war om whoever, destroy whoever it wishes under false pretexts, then sooner or later the judgments of God will begin to manifest against it and ruin will follow.
The lesson is when God give us power, it is meant to help others, be beneficial to them and not abuse them because they are weak.
God will judge on behalf of the weak.
Jeremiah 18:5-10 MSG
Then GOD’s Message came to me: “Can’t I do just as this potter does, people of Israel?” GOD’s Decree! “Watch this potter. In the same way that this potter works his clay, I work on you, people of Israel. At any moment I may decide to pull up a people or a country by the roots and get rid of them. But if they repent of their wicked lives, I will think twice and start over with them. At another time I might decide to plant a people or country, but if they don’t cooperate and won’t listen to me, I will think again and give up on the plans I had for them.
Ezekiel 12
12 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying,
13 Son of man, when the land sinneth against me by trespassing grievously, then will I stretch out mine hand upon it, and will break the staff of the bread thereof, and will send famine upon it, and will cut off man and beast from it:
14 Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord God.
15 If I cause noisome beasts to pass through the land, and they spoil it, so that it be desolate, that no man may pass through because of the beasts:
16 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters; they only shall be delivered, but the land shall be desolate.
17 Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say, Sword, go through the land; so that I cut off man and beast from it:
18 Though these three men were in it, as I live, saith the Lord God, they shall deliver neither sons nor daughters, but they only shall be delivered themselves.
