The Remnant.

God's people have ever been found among “the remnant.” At the time of the deluge it was the remnant—only eight. In the time of Moses it was the remnant that entered the promised land—only two. In the time of Elijah it was the remnant of seven thousand loyal souls. In the destruction of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, it was again the remnant, a part of the few hairs bound in the prophet's mantle. Eze. 5:3. In the days of our Lord it was still the remnant which believed. Rom. 11:5. And when the Lord Jesus Christ comes, it is still the faithful, loyal remnant, that will not speak lies, that keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus. Zeph. 3:13; Rev. 12:17. The great mass turn from God; the remnant are God's people. Those who reject God are the chaff; the remnant are the wheat. We need not ask where it would be well to be found.
