STATES and NATIONS

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

King James Version

14 If my people, 

which are called by my name, 

shall humble themselves, 

and pray, 

and seek my face, 

and turn from their wicked ways; 

then will I hear from heaven, 

and will forgive their sin, 

and will heal their land.


What is a state?

What is a nation?

Is there really a difference?

"State" could be a noun.

It refers to:

"A state is a centralized political organization 

that imposes and enforces rules 

over a population within a territory."

    --- Wikipedia


A state could also be an adjective:

"The state of the nation."

Remember state of the nation addresses of presidents of a country?


A nation is defined as this:

"A nation is a community of people formed 

on the basis of a combination of shared features 

such as language, history, ethnicity, 

culture and/or territory."

   -- Wikipedia


Now, I'm no social scientist, or economist.

I'm a born again workman for GOD.

I serve Him alone.

I'm merely here to present to you the state of the world, according to its standards.

Whether it be fiscal policy, or the ways of states, and nations.

Which invariably affect us all.

And this is what I found.
