“May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face to shine upon us, that your way may be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! The earth has yielded its increase; God, our God, shall bless us. God shall bless us; let all the ends of the earth fear him!
”
“After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.
”
Have you ever imagined this Bible verse in the book of revelation? Every nation on the earth represented before the throne of God; what an awesome gathering that will be?

Pray that the nations of the earth will get ready for this great visitation of the Lord, how dreadful will that be for nations that will be on the left?

The Lord foils the plans of the nations; He thwarts the purposes of the peoples. But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of His heart through all generations. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.”

Pray that the wrath of God will descend upon these evil leaders because they must die for these nations to be liberated.

Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”
Pray for an intercessor like Moses who will stand in the gap for the nations of the earth and give the nations an assurance; the word of hope that God has heard them, and He is about to do something.
