This thought comes from the O.T. It only applied to Israel.

Look at the 1st century church, from the time of Jesus' ministry until the Apostles all died. Ruthless Caesars were in power. During the time of Paul's ministry to the Gentiles, from Asia to Greece to Rome, possibly the worst Caesar of all ruled, named Nero.
I think the condition of the church determines the quality of the country. Light on a hill, salt on the Earth etc etc. More so for the USA, because of the Puritan dream, the righteous cause of the land of the free, bringing just freedom and the gospel to all of the countries it invades, oops I mean helps.
