God judges the Nations. There are now 195 independent Nations in the world. For political reasons, this number is debatable. What ever the tally, God judges all Nations. Matt 20:25
By “judging” we mean He holds them accountable to His own standards and will bless or destroy them accordingly, over time. He does this in History using natural means, as well as other Nations and people movements. Specifically,
God will oppose and bring down any and every Nation (Leader or Government) which oppresses its citizens, violating their God-given human rights as defined in His Law.
Isaiah 14:4-6,9-14,24-27;16:6
God will oppose and bring down any and every Nation which occupies or destroys another Nation
Isaiah 14:4,6-17;16:6;18:7;23:8-11; Jer 48; Ezk 31; Hab 2; Amos 1-2; Zech 2; Nahum; Obediah
God will oppose and destroy any and every Nation which tolerates evil behavior by itself or its citizens within its borders, especially violence
Gen 6:5-8, 11-13;8:21Isa 13:11;26:21; Jonah 1:2,14;3:4-8; Nahum 1:2,14;3:4,19; Ezekiel 30
In sum, God will bring down any Dictator or Government that claims to be or act like God, ordering the submission, loyalty and obedience of its People in all things. Ultimately, there will be a Judgment Day upon the Second Advent of Christ who will inaugurate His own Kingdom to replace all Nations.
