Isaiah 10:21
King James Version
21 The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Jacob,
unto the mighty God.
Who are the remnant of Israel?
How many would they be?
What kind of people are they?
These, we found from Scripture:
1 Kings 19:18
King James Version
18 Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel,
all the knees which have not bowed unto Baal,
and every mouth which hath not kissed him.
Ezra 9:8
King James Version
8 And now for a little space
grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God,
to leave us a remnant to escape,
and to give us a nail in his holy place,
that our God may lighten our eyes,
and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Isaiah 1:7-9
King James Version
7 Your country is desolate,
your cities are burned with fire:
your land, strangers devour it in your presence,
and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.
8 And the daughter of Zion is left
as a cottage in a vineyard,
as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers,
as a besieged city.
9 Except the Lord of hosts
had left unto us a very small remnant,
we should have been as Sodom,
and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
Isaiah 10:20-23
King James Version
20 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the remnant of Israel,
and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob,
shall no more again stay upon him that smote them;
but shall stay upon the Lord,
the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
21 The remnant shall return,
even the remnant of Jacob,
unto the mighty God.
22 For though thy people Israel
be as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return:
the consumption decreed
shall overflow with righteousness.
23 For the Lord God of hosts
shall make a consumption,
even determined,
in the midst of all the land.
Isaiah 11:10-12
King James Version
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse,
which shall stand for an ensign of the people;
to it shall the Gentiles seek:
and his rest shall be glorious.
11 And it shall come to pass in that day,
that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time
to recover the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt,
and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam,
and from Shinar, and from Hamath,
and from the islands of the sea.
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations,
and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel,
and gather together the dispersed of Judah
from the four corners of the earth.
Isaiah 11:13-14
King James Version
13 The envy also of Ephraim shall depart,
and the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off:
Ephraim shall not envy Judah,
and Judah shall not vex Ephraim.
14 But they shall fly upon the shoulders
of the Philistines toward the west;
they shall spoil them of the east together:
they shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab;
and the children of Ammon shall obey them.
Isaiah 11:15-16
King James Version
15 And the Lord shall utterly destroy
he tongue of the Egyptian sea;
and with his mighty wind
shall he shake his hand over the river,
and shall smite it in the seven streams,
and make men go over dryshod.
16 And there shall be an highway
for the remnant of his people,
which shall be left, from Assyria;
like as it was to Israel
in the day that he came up
out of the land of Egypt.
Isaiah 28:3-5
King James Version
3 The crown of pride,
the drunkards of Ephraim,
shall be trodden under feet:
4 And the glorious beauty,
which is on the head of the fat valley,
shall be a fading flower,
and as the hasty fruit before the summer;
which when he that looketh upon it seeth,
while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.
5 In that day shall the Lord of hosts be
for a crown of glory,
and for a diadem of beauty,
unto the residue of his people,
Jeremiah 23:3-4
King James Version
3 And I will gather the remnant of my flock
out of all countries whither I have driven them,
and will bring them again to their folds;
and they shall be fruitful and increase.
4 And I will set up shepherds over them
which shall feed them:
and they shall fear no more,
nor be dismayed,
neither shall they be lacking,
saith the Lord.
Joel 2:31-32
King James Version
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood,
before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.
32 And it shall come to pass,
that whosoever shall call
on the name of the Lord
shall be delivered:
for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem
shall be deliverance,
as the Lord hath said,
and in the remnant
whom the Lord shall call.
Micah 2:12
King James Version
12 I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee;
I will surely gather the remnant of Israel;
I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah,
as the flock in the midst of their fold:
they shall make great noise
by reason of the multitude of men.
Zephaniah 2:6-7
King James Version
6 And the sea coast shall be dwellings and cottages
for shepherds, and folds for flocks.
7 And the coast shall be
for the remnant of the house of Judah;
they shall feed thereupon:
in the houses of Ashkelon
shall they lie down in the evening:
for the Lord their God shall visit them,
and turn away their captivity.
Zephaniah 3:13
King James Version
13 The remnant of Israel
shall not do iniquity,
nor speak lies;
neither shall a deceitful tongue
be found in their mouth:
for they shall feed and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid.
Romans 9:27
King James Version
27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel,
Though the number of the children of Israel
be as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall be saved:
Romans 11:1-5
King James Version
11 I say then, Hath God cast away his people?
God forbid. For I also am an Israelite,
of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God hath not cast away his people
which he foreknew.
Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias?
how he maketh intercession to God against Israel saying,
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets,
and digged down thine altars;
and I am left alone, and they seek my life.
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him?
I have reserved to myself seven thousand men,
who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.
5 Even so then at this present time also
there is a remnant
according to the election of grace.
Romans 11:23-24
King James Version
23 And they also,
if they abide not still in unbelief,
shall be grafted in:
for God is able to graft them in again.
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree
which is wild by nature, and wert grafted
contrary to nature into a good olive tree:
how much more shall these,
which be the natural branches,
be grafted into their own olive tree?
Revelation 12:13-17
King James Version
13 And when the dragon saw
that he was cast unto the earth,
he persecuted the woman
which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given
two wings of a great eagle,
that she might fly into the wilderness,
into her place, where she is nourished
for a time, and times, and half a time,
from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth
water as a flood after the woman,
that he might cause her
to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman,
and the earth opened her mouth,
and swallowed up the flood
which the dragon cast out of his mouth.
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman,
and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which keep the commandments of God,
and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
