Torah perspective
When a world leader warns that a nation will cease to exist, the weight echoes the prophet Ovadiah: "For the day of God upon all the nations is near." Chassidic teaching reveals that every nation has a spiritual root and guardian angel above; their fate in this world reflects a heavenly verdict. Patience (savlanut), one of the thirteen attributes of divine mercy, is the vessel that tempers judgment with compassion. The Torah calls even those who wield power to pause, for the One who "laughs at the nations" holds history's final pen. True patience is not weakness, it is alignment with the divine pace.
