What triggers a change of hegemon nations?
To hegemon/pax status, nations fight for promotion,
Not recognizing promotion comes only from God.
It’s He alone who ordains this coveted position,
Over which other nations salivate and are awed. 1
As Sovereign, He calls forth nation paxes,
To subdue peoples and resources alike.
He’s called them to serve as His battle-axes!
They don’t need to know Him. They’re just called …to strike! 2

About paxes, here’s a persistent pattern I‘ve noted:
Between two great wars, they have all been sandwiched!
Hegemon nation promoted, then later demoted.
To this, might there be a spiritual glitch??
First, hegemon nations subjugate others,
Then, later becoming prideful, it, too, is judged.
This is the result that always occurs,
When Jeremiah 9, verse 23 is shrugged. 3

There is one prime act that serves to reveal,
The great pride in this nation’s heart and soul.
God’s Grace to this nation is then repealed,
Then for judgment, this nation’s pigeonholed! 4
In response to this haughty, prideful act,
With God’s protective Grace having been withdrawn,
Wanna-be-hegemon nations react!
On the hegemon, sadly, curtains are drawn.
When a new hegemon nation arises,
Then the familiar cycle repeats itself.
Now let’s ponder how this epitomizes,
The last hegemon government that’s on ‘God’s shelf.’
A last, human, global government will arise,
That by a deceptive strongman will be led.
Pridefully, as God he’ll want to be recognized,
Triggering the next hegemon instead! 5
From Armageddon’s war, this hegemon will rise.
The Government of Christ Jesus, on Earth as God.
Pax Messianica, coming to tyrannize,
Tribulation survivors with His iron rod! 6
Friend, I hope you will believe, and not minimize,
This spiritual dimension of hegemony.
For nations and people alike, it’s summarized,
In Jeremiah 9, verse 24, succinctly.
When Grace protracted is met with our un-repentance,
Next events on the scene will be God’s judgment sentence.
Righteousness may thrive among some surviving remnants.
The cycle then repeats with growing indifference.

But let him who glories [boasts] glory [boast] in this,
that he understands and knows Me, that I am The Lord,
that he understands and knows Me, that I am The Lord,
exercising (1) lovingkindness [Grace],
(2) judgment [justice], and (3) righteousness
[doing what He calls right] in the Earth
For in these I delight”, says The Lord.
[doing what He calls right] in the Earth
For in these I delight”, says The Lord.
NB: Note the order, then see: What’s Really Going On (…Inside).
This strategy applies to individuals, families, societies and nations alike.
Look for it, especially in your life and across history.
To B-R-E-A-K this cycle in your own life,
Embrace salvation in Jesus Christ.

1 For promotion comes neither from the east, west, nor south. But God is the Judge: He puts down one, and exalts/promotes another. (Psalm 75:6-7) A hegemon nation is one that practices hegemony, having dominant influence over other nations. Pax is a period of general/relative stability in international affairs under the influence of dominant military power, e.g., Pax Britannica or Pax Americana.
2 See: Jeremiah 51:20, Daniel 2 and Paxes, God’s Axes (Poem)
3 Let not the wise man glory [boast] in his wisdom, let not the mighty man glory [boast] in his might, nor let the rich man glory [boast] in his riches… In Habbakuk 1:11, God gives a clear example of the iniquity that always triggers His judgment. Often, the hegemon nation’s leader falls into satan’s trap of seeing himself, acting as if, and/or declaring himself to be a god, demi- or otherwise! The world has witnessed this in history, and this is exactly what the anti-Christ man will do!
4 The prime act is the equivalent of a prideful sin that causes and nation’s or person’s ‘cup of iniquity’ to become full or run over. See: Minding Your Cups (Poem)
5 Using this same, exact pattern, the short-lived government of the anti-Christ will trigger the 1st War of Gog and Magog (during the apocalypse), and the Armageddon War (that will end of the apocalypse and be followed by the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ). During the anti-Christ's short global rule, he will mimic what satan witnessed Jesus, pre-incarnate, did in Ezekiel 9. Could this be the Genesis of the anti-Christ’s global ‘mark of the beast’ initiative?? Search this blog for Future Attacks in Israel.
6 The Armageddon War is described in Zechariah 14 and Revelation 19:11-21. It will signal the end of the apocalypse, and the start of the Millennial Reign age. Heads up! Jesus did not come to bring peace, but a sword (Matthew 10:34), and will return to rule with an iron rod. (Psalm 2:9, Revelation 2:27, 12:25 and 19:15). Since Earth will be re-populated during His thousand-year reign, all people born at that time will be under His iron rod rule, with NO DEVILS anywhere on Earth! See: Album 8: Finally! (Lyrics & Video).
