The expression "nation arising against nation" can also denote a very different meaning. Usually when we talk about a force "arising against" another force it signifies opposition and clash. "Nation arising against nation" can thus also mean nations warring against each other. The way we can determine the meaning of any phrase used in any religious context or not is not by isolated subtraction of that phase and then its analysis, on the contrary we ascertain meaning through context and often by analysis of the words of the original language of the text, for even in translations meanings are often lost. 
To try to understand this expression it would be good if you quoted your source.

Anyhow the discussion as to how people should come together irrespective of their creed, race or religion and try to solve issues that effect the whole human race is a very productive one, for we actually need to accomplish that in order to solve the problems like the ones you mentioned, poverty, hatred, starvation, those resulting from prejudice and ignorance and unfortunately many more.

How do you think the people of the world can do that?
