Nations and peoples are mentioned together, because by nations are meant those who are in good, and in the opposite sense, those who are in evil; and by peoples those who are in truths, and in the opposite sense, those who are in falsities. For this reason those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom are called peoples, and those who belong to His celestial kingdom are called nations; for all in the spiritual kingdom are in truths and consequently in wisdom, while all in the celestial kingdom are in good, and consequently in love.
