Nation

Nation (not nations) refers to any kind of people on the whole earth. This term is used to describe both Jews (John 11:51; Acts 10:22) and all other tribes. The respective context makes it clear which nation is meant (Acts 2:5; Rev 5:9). The Holy Spirit also uses it for the believers of the time of grace, who are a holy nation (Mt 21:43; 1 Pet 2:9).
