Biblical Concept: Remnant

Observations:

Remnant reminds that, in the 4du, by Divine design, the Biblical spiritual is out-manned and out- gunned. In the 4du, evil is having its day. The remnant stand in contrast. The remnant vindicate God in His conflict with 1/3 angels.

Isaiah and Jeremiah contain numerous references to the remnant. The nation of Israel was about to go to exile. A remnant would remain and a remnant would return.

God can and will have success in the 4du with a remnant. A remnant + God = survival / success.

Remnant describes various peoples who have undergone various troubles till they are few in number.
