WEDNESDAY EVENING (December 18th) • Prayer & Providence Providence in the Moral Realm - The Heathen Nations God chose Abraham and his descendants through whom he would bring the "seed of the woman" into the world, and controlled the direction of that people to achieve his purpose. Another aspect of God's providence in the moral realm which must be considered is his control and use of the heathen nations who continually strove to destroy the Jewish people and to overthrow Jehovah worship.Unless God could control these in working out his purpose, the heathen nations would succeed in destroying the chosen people. God's use, judgment, and destruction of them when they had served his purpose is a vital factor in the study of providence. God's Universal Rule• Acts
