Greek neuter noun 1484 ethnos was 93 times translated into “Gentiles” 64 times into singular and plural “nation” 5 times into “heathen” and 2 times into “people”. Greek neuter noun 1484 ethnos best reflects God’s definition translated into “nation” in 1Peter 2:9 and Revelation 22:2 “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations”. God is in the process, during this earth age, is choosing his own “nation” his own “people” his own “leaves of” “the tree of life” his own “priesthood” his own “church of the firstborn” pursuant to his own “will”.
