Jesus said in the latter days that nation shall rise against nation, and that this (among other things, which are all happening as well) shall be a sign of his coming; in the greek, "ἐγερθήσεται γὰρ ἔθνος ἐπὶ ἔθνος"; the word used for nation is ethnos, from which we get the english word ethnic.

1484 éthnos (from ethō, "forming a custom, culture") – properly, people joined by practicing similar customs or common culture; nation(s), usually referring to unbelieving Gentiles (non-Jews).
