King James Version
29 The secret things belong unto the Lord our God:
but those things which are revealed
belong unto us and to our children for ever,
that we may do all the words of this law.
Since I know very little about GOD's remnant, I turn to Scripture.
That I may know more what "remnant" means.
I was pleasantly surprised that SPIRIT led me to these symbolic verses.
Truly a GOLD mine of information.
Further explaining how precious "remnants" are:
Exodus 26:12
King James Version
12 And the remnant that remaineth
of the curtains of the tent,
the half curtain that remaineth,
shall hang over the backside
of the tabernacle.
Leviticus 2:3
King James Version
3 And the remnant of the meat offering
shall be Aaron's and his sons':
it is a thing most holy
of the offerings of the Lord
made by fire.
Leviticus 5:13
King James Version
13 And the priest shall make
an atonement for him as touching his sin
that he hath sinned in one of these,
and it shall be forgiven him:
and the remnant shall be the priest's,
as a meat offering.
Leviticus 14:18
King James Version
18 And the remnant of the oil
that is in the priest's hand
he shall pour upon the head of him
that is to be cleansed:
and the priest shall make
an atonement for him
before the Lord.
Ezra 3:8
King James Version
8 Now in the second year of their coming
unto the house of God at Jerusalem,
in the second month,
began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
and Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
and the remnant of their brethren
the priests and the Levites,
and all they that were come out
of the captivity unto Jerusalem;
and appointed the Levites,
from twenty years old and upward,
to set forward the work of the house of the Lord.
Whether it be the "remnant" curtain, trespass offering, oil, or priests and Levites, they are considered "holy", and used as an offering to the LORD.
In Nehemiah's case, he comes upon the remnant of the Jews from captivity, and the broken-down walls of Jerusalem.
Nehemiah 1:3
King James Version
3 And they said unto me,
The remnant that are left
of the captivity there in the province
are in great affliction and reproach:
the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down,
and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
He gathers, and organizes the people, to rebuild it.
Nehemiah 2:18
King James Version
18 Then I told them of the hand of my God
which was good upon me;
as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me.
And they said,
Let us rise up and build.
So they strengthened their hands
for this good work.
There is beauty in "remnants".
GOD never wastes anything.
Everything is for His perfect purpose.
As will be shown in what He calls His remnant.
Which you'll find on the next post.
