At that time tribute will be brought to the Lord of hosts… from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide…” Is.18.7 ESV
Traditionally we label a nation a Superpower when they are able to flex great military and industrial strength in the world. Only a few nations currently have this distinction. The United States certainly has no problem referring to itself as a superpower, even the world's greatest superpower. When you consider that we make up only six percent of the world's population, our classification as such is something to marvel. It is also something to consider. The Spirit prompts us to look at all the other nations whose time came and went. “Pride comes before a fall.” "No one can receive anything unless it has been given to them from heaven.” And perhaps the most important of all: “To whom much is given, much is required.” Of course, this is true for every individual as it is for every nation. The generosity of a nation is no better than the generosity of its citizens. All power is given for the purpose of service, if it used for any other purpose it is abused. 12/15/2008 ts
