The Cry of the Poor; Another Angle

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Psalm 9:17-18

Having read these verses in the context of the whole Psalm notice the following.

In the final judgment there are wicked people that will be turned into Sheol; they will be turned into the pit of darkness, nothingness.
The same fate will be shared by the nations that forget God. There are some nations that have a history of faith in God and all who have faith in God will be saved. But nations eventually forget God, it just happens. You may live in a "Christian" nation, but in reality it may be forgetting God already.

Why does God allow nations to forget Him? Verse 18 suggests an answer:
It is in order that those who live in nations that do not have the gospel might hear it. There are some who are needy for truth, there are some who are hoping for truth but their hope may perish forever with them. There is a cry of the poor in spirit. There are people who are crying out for the bread of life.
Many are so starved that they have no appetite, are you willing to feed them morsels that will create a desire for more? Have another look at the gospels and see that the truth was proclaimed gradually, not forcing people to accept the whole truth at once. Certainly not expecting people to adopt Western culture to become Christian.

There is a large section of the world that has not heard the gospel, it will be no easy matter to reach those people but it must be done. Let's think about what we can do to get this last work done and prepare the world for Jesus to come into His kingdom. Do not perish with your nation, be willing to die for the poor in spirit and find life.
