Please explain Psalms 91:9-10, "Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling…" (India)

Would you say that America has come under the judgment of God as we see so many happenings that seem to clearly lineup with the Bible? I'm reminded of the Israelites and their disobedience and idolatrous ways—-God poured out His wrath upon His chosen people.
Yes. In fact, the entire present evil world (Galatians 1:4) is under God’s judgment.Consider the symbolic picture in Revelation 19:11-12, 14-16 (NKJV), 11 “Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse.
