Lexical notes
- v. 2 - The Hebrew word גּי גּוי or go'ee, go'-ee implies (1) a massing of people, i.e. a nation; or (2) a foreign nation or the Gentiles or heathen people (Strongs).
- v. 4 - The Hebrew word for God in this verse is אלהים or el-o-heem' (Ibid) which implies the supreme God or chief of the Gods.
Exegesis
v. 2 - The context of "nations" implies a people who will fear the second coming of the Lord. When Jehovah appears for them there will be "the melting fire burneth" causing "the waters to boil." They are also noted as the Lord's adversaries. Hence, the nations are the Gentile, heathen nations, or those who remain in their iniquities.
