Archetype of Nations

(Vere, Stein Atle. ©2011. "Comment: Archetype of Nations". brakha.blogspot.com.)



Deriving from the Tanak (Hebrew Bible), Jewish spirituality describes humanity diversifying into an archetype of 70 nations − plus a transcendent nation of Yisrael to energize the dynamic equalibrium among these nations. Likewise, the Tanakh has nationalism persist into the future, inspiring a Messianic Age. When God saves the nation of Israel, God reciprocates each nation separately as nations, depending on how they engage Yisrael. Even during the Messianic Age, nationalism continues, possibly eternally. The archetype to organize and diversify into national identities seems a human biological impulse. Diversity of worldviews is good.
