English “nation” emboldened in 1Peter 2:9 was translated from Greek neuter noun 1484 ethnos that is any and all nations, tribes, peoples or groups other than Israel and it is important to understand that God is creating his own, during this earth age. Greek neuter noun 1484 ethnos was 93 times translated into “Gentiles” 64 times into “nation” 5 times into “heathen” and 2 times into “people” but we must always be cognizant of the fact that God continuously takes human earthen vessels and fills them with what God needs to bring God’s will to fruition. If you are reading this, God is inviting you to join him.
