In law, a nation is people (a political body), not a landmass.
Nation. …. The people is the political body brought into existence by community of laws, and the people may perish with these laws. (Black's Law, 1st Edition)
In reality, man cannot bring “people” into (and out of) existence with laws or contracts. This can only occur as a mental construct, not in reality.
Nation. …. A people or aggregation of men, existing in the form of an organized jural society. (Black's Law, 1st Edition)
Again we have a “form”, an “appearance or superficial aspect rather than the substance or essence”. Another mental construct.
In truth, the people are the aggregate of man, created by God.
What
does your world look like? Is it exactly the same as mine? Each man sees
the world slightly different. The world is of “form” just like
the legal entity known as a human being and the entire legal system. Only God can create a law of
substance/essence.
World.
public life, or society (Webster’s
1828)
The world is ungodly ….
Worldly.
Concerned with the enjoyments of this present existence;
not religious, spiritual, or holy. (Ballentines
3rd)
Worldly.
of or pertaining to this world as contrasted with heaven,
spiritual life etc. (Random
House Unabridged 2nd Ed.)
Worldly.
1. Secular; relating to this life, in contradistinction to the
life to come. 3. Human;
common; belonging to this world.
SE'CULAR. adj. Not spiritual. Relating to affairs of the present world. Not holy; worldly. (Samuel Johnson's Dictionary 1755)
SEC'ULAR, adjective. [Latin secularis, from seculum, the world or an age.]
1. Pertaining to the present world, or to things not spiritual or holy; relating to things not immediately or primarily respecting the soul, but the body; worldly. (Websers 1828).Secularize. to make secular; separate from religious or
spiritual connection or influences; make worldly or unspiritual; imbue
with secularism. (Random House Unabridged 2nd Ed.)
John
18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world...
His
kingdom is not of man's mental and secular perception. His Kingdom
exists in truth.
John
2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the LORD's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Note
here that the world is the LORD's. So he can do with it as is seen
fit.
James
4:4 Ye
adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the
world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the
world is the enemy of God.
Galatians
6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto
me, and I unto the world.
The
cross of our Lord Jesus Christ separates us from the world of
deception. Where the world is, a man of the cross is of no effect.
Where a man of the cross is, the world is of no effect. Is this the
antithesis of the legal ID on the fictional side? If you carry both
the cross and legal ID do you not have two masters to mind ... and a
double mind?
Oblation.
An offering; a sacrifice; anything offered as an act of
worship or reverence. (Samuel
Johnson's Dictionary 1755)
The
will gives worth to the oblation, as to God's acceptance, sets the
poorest giver on the same level with the richest. (South)
Hence,
there is a place for "man" (on earth) and a place for the
“natural person”, "natural man" and/or "human"
(in the world). But they are all God’s domain. If one rejects God
and the true law, truth is rejected and liberty is rejected. One ends
up a “natural” with deception and servitude in the world.
The higher powers of the heavens and the earth are of God, but worldly powers are of man - just as the human is of man.
Every living soul is subject to the higher powers of God but every human is subject to the worldly powers of man.
Psa 89:11 The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
The higher powers of the heavens and the earth are of God, but worldly powers are of man - just as the human is of man.
Every living soul is subject to the higher powers of God but every human is subject to the worldly powers of man.
