God rules the nations, but individuals have free will?

Is there a difference in the way that God rules the nations? There is a red line that cannot be crossed without dire consequence for nations and that red line is legalizing child sacrifice. God said He would not forgive the nation of Judah for filling the streets of Jerusalem with the blood of the innocent.

“Surely at the command (mouth) of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; AND THE LORD WOULD NOT FORGIVE.”  (All caps mine) 2 Kings 24:3 & 4

With repentance came a revival, but then one generation later the practice was started again and then came the invasion and destruction. Ah, for the individual there is also a red line, blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. But that was taught by Jesus so was it also in the Old Testament? Must have been but where?

Searching for the question is giving some answers, but this one is particularly interesting in light of the current war against Christians and Jews...Listen.

"Consequently, when we come to the text of the Synoptic Gospels there is a history of interpretation and applications that prohibit anyone ( Lev 24:15-16 ; includes the sojourner ) from denouncing the God of Israel, repudiating his claims, and insulting his honor. What Jesus claims is that a similar type of sin is being committed whenever one speaks against the Holy Spirit as revealed powerfully in his ministry. What caused stoning in the Old Testament, now incurs eternal condemnation; such a sin is unforgivable."

So, those who say the One True God of Israel is not God are not forgiven. We know who they are. They are at war against Christians and Jews. They are also the ones I believe who are allowed to exact judgment on the nations for committing the unforgivable act of child sacrifice. 

Will study more in the morning and edit at that time. 2016-08-02
