A fire and brimstone preacher, Jonathan Edwards was a stalwart Puritan and much of his Calvinist background is apparent in the frightening imagery of his sermon, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." In fact, the image of the bottomless pit of hell whose fiery floods wax high enough to burn the gossamer thread that holds the unworthy souls over it evoked so much terror in the congregation of Edwards that women fainted and men became terrorized and trembled.
This sermon of Edwards is constructed around a passage from Deuteronomy in the Old Testament of the King James Version of the Bible: "Their foot shall slide in due time." Using the metaphor of a slippery slide, Edwards, at a revival where his famous sermon was given, points to the dangers of spiritual sliding. The yawning abyss waits for the sinners, whose wickedness makes them "heavy as lead," and only the "mere pleasure" of God keeps them from burning in the images of "fiery floods" and "fire of wrath." The image of a "bow" for God's wrath that can easily bend and send forth its arrow is an unnerving one, indeed, as the "slender thread" dangling near the "flames of divine wrath" which can singe it at any moment.

The poorest country in the world is Burundi, with a GDP per capita of $264

Nearly all of the world's poorest countries are in Africa, though Haiti, Tajikistan, Yemen, and Afghanistan are notable exceptions

Details: GDP per capita is measured in $USD, 2020.

Countries hit hardest by poverty are often countries that are also caught in political crises, including conflict, hunger, and climate change. These often become aggravating factors that keep communities trapped in cycles of poverty because their economic sources (Agriculture, Industry and Services) do not have sufficient infrastructures to sustain their productivity.

Despite the extremely low standard of living in these countries, it's still safe to say that there's economic potential for future growth as poverty does not ultimately define a person, a family, or a community. In addition, many experts have observed that Africa's infrastructure is currently improving at a rapid rate, opening the door to foreign direct investment and increased industrialization capacity. Much of this progress is due to the China Belt and Road Initiative and investment in several African countries.

Another proof of Africa's potential is the extremely large share of young people on the continent. This could translate into a sizeable future workforce, a growing internal market and potential for innovation and economic progress.
