Epic: What is an ethno-nation? - Involving Iauan/Javan/Greece as an example that meets the biblical criteria of an ethnonation - Section 1:
(Read the whole post and, more importantly, actually read & believe all of the Scriptures to understand this)
An ethno-nation is one distinct, seperate nation that is OF/DIRECTLY FROM the collection/names of the seventy nations of Noah's sons and their grandsons and greatgrandsons. Each ethno-nation has a seperate land and language for each language.
Biblical Qualities of an Ethnonation
1๏ธโฃQuality 1: It being directly descended from/directly of one of the 70 descendants and their 70 seperated Nations that are from/of BOTH being from 1 out of Noah 3's sons (from Japheth or Shem or Ham) AND being descended from either 1 of Noah's sons' sons' (grandsons) or Noah's sons' sons' sons (greatgrandsons) or Noah's sons' sons' son' sons (greatgreatgrandsons) THAT SCRIPTURE RECORDS IN GENESIS 10 AS FORMING THEIR OWN NATIONS AND AS BEING DIVIDED BY GOD /WERE SEPERATED, BY ALL 3 PERSONS OF THE TRINITY, at the Tower of Babel & become individual, from other of Noah's grandsons, greargrandsons, & greatgreatgrandsons and their nations seperate/unique nations, and that formed their own nation either at the tower of Babel or very soon afterward via their seperate yet expanding families from the Noah's grandsons and greatgrandsons and greatgreatgrandsons splitting off and traveling into their seperate assigned, bounded lands to finally fulfill God's direction and command to replenish the earth
2๏ธโฃIts own land/place
3๏ธโฃIts own seperate language
1) Iauan/Javan was one of the 70 ethnonations, because it was descended from only 1 out of 3 of Noah's sons as Iavan is one of Japeth's 4 sons AND because an ethnonation is descended from one of either Noah's grandsons, greatgreatgrandsons, or greatgreatgreatgrandsons, meeting Quality 1๏ธโฃ/Quality 1 of an Ethnonation as shown by Scripture.
Genesis 10:2, 5 1611 KJB
[2] The sonnes of Iaphet: Gomer, and Magog, and Madai, and Iauan, & Tubal, and Meshech, & Tiras.
[5] By these were the Iles of the Gentiles diuided in their lands, euery one after his tongue: after their families, in their nations.
2) Iauan/Javan both has/seperately owns and covers/is a bounded/bordered, literal place/physical land and has inhabitants descended from their Ethnonation Ancestor Iauan/Javan, fulfilling
Quality 2๏ธโฃ/Quality 2, as Iauan/Javan is called Greece in a parallel wording type of verse (in which two or more verses say about the same thing except for 1 word, showing that both verses are [the vast majority of the time depending on the context] talking about the same thing)
Joel 3:4-6 1611 KJB
4 Yea and what haue ye to do with me, O Tyre and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render mee a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I returne your recompense vpon your owne head.
5 Because yee haue taken my siluer and my gold, and haue caried into your temples my goodly pleasant things.
6 The children also of Iudah and the children of Ierusalem haue ye sold vnto the Grecians, that yee might remoue them farre from their border.
7 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither yee haue sold them, and wil returne your recompence vpon your owne head.
8 And I will sell your sonnes and your daughters into the hande of the children of Iudah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people farre off, for the Lord hath spoken it.
Zechariah 9:13 KJB
When I haue bent Iudah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised vp thy sonnes O Zion, against thy sonnes, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mightie man.
Ezekiel 27:13, 19 1611 KJB
13 Iauan, Tubal and Meshech, they were thy merchants: they traded the persons of men, and vessels of brasse in thy market.
19 Dan also and Iauan going to and fro, occupyed in thy faires: bright yron, Cassia and Calamus were in thy market.
