How do we know that God is in control of world events?
Answered in 1 source
God's control over world events is evidenced through His establishment of rulers and the fulfillment of prophecy (Isaiah 9:6).
The assertion that God is in control of world events is rooted in the doctrine of divine sovereignty. As seen in both Old and New Testament examples, such as the rulers God appointed, from Nebuchadnezzar to Herod, Scripture illustrates that human authority is ordained by God for His purposes. The prophecy of Isaiah 9:6 states that the government shall rest on the shoulders of Christ, marking Him as the true ruler whose plan unfolds throughout history. This doctrine reassures Christians that no matter the circumstances or upheaval, God's sovereign hand is behind every event, shaping history according to His eternal wisdom.
