The Nations


Here we are, shoulder to shoulder or far away in distant lands. 

Millions, billions of us, here, there, and everywhere. 

How many of us are there? Here are just a few of the nations. 


Are these population numbers what you would have guessed? 

I was particularly surprised by Japan. It's so small, 

but like a tiny seed man grows and fills God's green Earth.




China   1,412,600,000


India   1,352,642,280


EU   447,007,596


USA   331,893,745


Russia   145,824,556


Japan   125,502,000


Israel   9,506,100




For as the earth brings forth its sprouts, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to sprout up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations. Isaiah 61:11

  6. That number for Japan is quite surprising considering how big Russia is and how close they are to that population.
