The Capillary Wave: Word Index
The word “nation” often gets confused with the word “country”, in the same way, and for many of the same reasons, that “people” often gets confused with “persons“. The people are under God in the “lawful” jurisdiction, and “persons” are under the state, in the “legal” jurisdiction. See my article: The Two Main Jurisdictions for more details.
- James 2:9, KJV 1611 – But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

At law these words: Nation vs. Country could not be more opposed to each other, and relate to the two separate and distinct jurisdictions which can be broken down to: Government vs. God, Man vs God, or legality vs Morality.
A country is entirely the creation of law, of the mind, and is intangible; it is a legal fiction, or in biblical terms a graven image. A country is by definition “secular“, which means “living in the world“. The Strong’s definition of “world” states that the world is in opposition to Christ. A country is a “legal fiction”

See my article Government vs. God for a further in depth analysis.
A nation is a breed, lineage, species and race of people existing in nature; in reality, on Earth
A country such as: UNITED KINGDOM or USA is a body politic which is a legal fiction. A legal fiction is something that is created by the law, is intangible, and only exists in peoples minds; such as the country: YUGOSLAVIA, which no longer exists at law, or in the minds of many people. So in simple terms a “country” is similar to a limited company in that it is a creation of the law; a legal fiction. In the same way a limited company is a legal fiction; so is a country.

A country does not exist in reality and is not tangible, whereas a nation is a people of a certain species, race, and lineage. A nation exists on Earth in reality and was part of creation in the book of Genesis, and a country exists at law as a fiction as a part of the world, a country only exists in the mind; and is a graven image/legal fiction.
- Word Index: World
There are only people existing on Earth in terms of law and governance, that is all there is. A people can only be a “person” if they believe that they are, because a “person” only exists in the mind, is a creation of the mind, a creation of the law; a legal fiction, or a graven image in biblical terms. To return to being a people under God once again you may just need to “change your mind”?
- Romans 12:2, KJV 1611 – And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”
This is why below a “national” can be a “people” of a nation or they may “believe” (of the mind – graven image) that they are a “person” of a “country“. For more information on how a people can become persons of a country see my article: How You Became Entangled In The Legal system
A “nation” is to do with a race, lineage, and generation of a people, whereas a “country” like the USA or UK for example, is a merely creation of the law, a legal fiction, intangible, and existing only in the mind; a graven image.
- Ezekiel 20:32, KJV 1611 – And that which cometh into your mind shall not be at all, that ye say, We will be as the heathen, as the families of the countries, to serve wood and stone.
