Yes, I believe He still blinds nations who are in rebellion and unbelief. I preached on the Parable of the Sower from Mark 4 this past Lord's Day. Jesus quotes from Isaiah 6, where God tells the Prophet He will cause the nation to remain in their blindness and unbelief. There are certainly evidences of this in the Old Testament. I think that there are nations today who are blind. If you look at the progress of the gospel, why are there nations (Africa) coming to Christ while in other places the gospel does not seem to penetrate. Only the LORD can remove the blindness of nations and cause them to see the truth. Excellent question to ponder. I have recently thought of this myself as an American pastor ministering in Eastern Canada.
