Throughout the Old Testament, God is depicted as the judge of nations, as seen in the prophetic books like Isaiah and Jeremiah. The admonishment of nations can be seen in historical events such as the fall of Babylon and the Assyrian Empire, where God's judgment was executed. This phrase underscores the belief that God holds all nations accountable to His standards, reflecting His universal authority and justice.<p><b>Does He not discipline?</b><br>Discipline is a recurring theme in Scripture, often associated with God's love and desire for correction and growth, as seen in <a href="/proverbs/3-11.htm">Proverbs 3:11-12</a>. The discipline of God is not punitive but corrective, aiming to bring about repentance and righteousness. <a href="/hebrews/12-5.htm">Hebrews 12:5-11</a> further elaborates on this, explaining that God's discipline is a sign of His fatherly love. This phrase reassures believers that God's actions are purposeful and aimed at the ultimate good of His people.<p><b>He who teaches man</b><br>God as a teacher is a central theme in the Bible, with wisdom literature like Proverbs and Ecclesiastes emphasizing the importance of divine instruction. The role of God as a teacher is also evident in the life of Jesus Christ, who taught with authority and imparted divine wisdom to His followers. This phrase suggests that God imparts knowledge and understanding to humanity, guiding them in truth and righteousness.<p><b>Does He lack knowledge?</b><br>This rhetorical question affirms God's omniscience, a fundamental attribute of His nature. Scriptures such as <a href="/psalms/139.htm">Psalm 139</a> and <a href="/isaiah/40-28.htm">Isaiah 40:28</a> highlight God's infinite understanding and knowledge. The question challenges any notion that God could be unaware or uninformed, reinforcing the belief that His judgments and teachings are based on perfect knowledge. This assurance of God's omniscience provides comfort to believers, knowing that He is fully aware of all circumstances and needs.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/god.htm">God (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The central figure in this verse, God is portrayed as the ultimate teacher and disciplinarian, emphasizing His omniscience and authority over nations and individuals.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/n/nations.htm">Nations</a></b><br>Refers to the collective groups of people across the earth.
