Israel is described in the Scriptures as a distinct nation among the nations of the world. Israel as a nation and the Jews as a people are distinguished from all other peoples in hundreds of verses such as “I will give...unto you...a land....I am YAHUAH your Aluahym, which have separated you from other people....And ye shall be holy unto me: for I YAHUAH am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be mine” (Lv 20:24-26); “[YAHUAH thy Aluahym hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth” (Dt 7:6); “And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of YAHUAH; and they shall be afraid of thee....And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all the nations whither YAHUAH shall lead thee....ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it. And YAHUAH shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth unto the other” (Dt 28:10, 37, 63, 64); “Hear the word of YAHUAH, O ye nations ...He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock....It shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever” (Jer:31:10, 40); “And thou [Gog and Magog, et al.] shalt say, I will go up...upon the people that are gathered out of the nations....And thou shalt come up against my people Israel...in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me” (Ezk 38:11-16),
