How do we know God is sovereign over nations?

Answered in 2 sources

The sovereignty of God over all nations is affirmed in the scripture, particularly in Psalm 67 which proclaims His righteous judgment and governance.

Psalm 67 illustrates the sovereignty of God as the psalmist calls upon Him to be worshiped among all nations. Verses 3 and 4 express a collective response of praise from diverse peoples, emphasizing that God's governance extends beyond Israel to encompass the entire earth. This universal praise reflects God's ultimate authority over all, affirming His control and sovereign will (Psalm 67:4).

Furthermore, the psalm foretells a time of joy and righteousness when all nations will come under His rightful rule. The depiction of God judging righteously signifies His sovereign involvement in world affairs and the fulfillment of His purposes through historical and redemptive events. The anticipation of Jesus' second coming, where He will reign as King, highlights that God's sovereignty is not merely theoretical but actively manifested in the course of human history, guiding the nations towards His glory (Psalm 67:5-7).
