So the concept and practice of national repentance and seeking God’s face after plague and calamity are visited upon a nation, only applies to Israel according to your interpretation of scripture?

This is why there is no repentance in the church in this country.

And the Lord is going to laugh at us all in the day of our calamity.

I suggest you slow down a bit and think a bit.

The specific passage - II Chronicles 7:14 - is God’s response to Solomon’s prayer and to understand God’s words to Solomon, you should read what Solomon prayed, which was all based on God’s covenant promises.

If you would like Scripture to base a general blessing that applies to all nations, read Ps. 1; Matt 6:33; Gal. 6:7–8; et al.

“This is why there is no repentance in the church in this country.”

I disagree that this is the root cause. The roots of lack of repentance in our country are far deeper.

We do not have a Christian nation. It certainly has deep Christian influence in its founding. Nor has God promised a Christian nation. He did promise a Jewish nation.
