The term is often used to describe a distinct group of people with a common lineage, language, culture, and governance. The Hebrew word for nation is "goy" (גּוֹי), and the Greek equivalent is "ethnos" (ἔθνος), both of which appear frequently throughout the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>The idea of nations is introduced early in the Bible. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a>, often referred to as the "Table of Nations," the descendants of Noah's sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—are listed, detailing the origins of various peoples and nations. <a href="/genesis/10-32.htm">Genesis 10:32</a> states, "These are the clans of Noah’s sons, according to their lines of descent, within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood."<br><br>God's covenant with Abraham includes a promise concerning nations. In <a href="/genesis/12-2.htm">Genesis 12:2</a> , God declares, "I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, so that you will be a blessing." This promise is foundational for the nation of Israel, which is set apart as God's chosen people, a theme that recurs throughout the Old Testament.<br><br>The Israelites' relationship with other nations is a significant theme in the Old Testament. They are often warned against adopting the idolatrous practices of surrounding nations (<a href="/deuteronomy/18-9.htm">Deuteronomy 18:9</a>). Yet, the prophets also envision a future where nations will come to worship the God of Israel. <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2</a> prophesies, "In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the concept of nations expands with the Great Commission. Jesus commands His disciples in <a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19</a> , "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." This directive underscores the universal scope of the Gospel, transcending ethnic and national boundaries.<br><br>The early church grappled with the inclusion of Gentiles—non-Jewish nations—into the faith community. The Council of Jerusalem, as recorded in <a href="/bsb/acts/15.htm">Acts 15</a>, addressed this issue, affirming that salvation through Jesus Christ is available to all nations without the requirement of adhering to Jewish law.<br><br>The Apostle Paul further emphasizes the unity of believers from all nations in Christ. In <a href="/galatians/3-28.htm">Galatians 3:28</a> , he writes, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This unity is a foretaste of the eschatological vision in Revelation, where a multitude from every nation worships before the throne of God (<a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a>).<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>Theologically, nations in the Bible represent both the diversity of humanity and the universal reach of God's redemptive plan. While nations often symbolize division and rebellion against God, as seen in the Tower of Babel narrative (Genesis 11), they also embody the potential for redemption and unity under God's sovereignty.<br><br>The biblical narrative anticipates a future where nations are reconciled and restored. <a href="/revelation/21-24.htm">Revelation 21:24</a> describes the New Jerusalem, stating, "By its light the nations will walk, and into it the kings of the earth will bring their glory." This eschatological hope reflects the ultimate fulfillment of God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham's seed, culminating in the reign of Christ over a redeemed and unified humanity.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
