    Watch the Nations – whose side will they take? A re-post

    I was reminded of this post from 2020 again today when reading a post by Bruce Cooper about watching and praying about the nations especially betrayal by longstanding “friendly” or “brother” nations and pride leading nations into making the wrong decisions.
