The faithful few who stay loyal to God when everyone else bounces
lightbulbThe leftover faithful ones — God always keeps a crew, even when most people walk away
A major prophetic concept. When Israel as a whole abandoned God, the prophets promised that a 'remnant' would survive and carry God's purposes forward. Isaiah named his son 'Shear-Jashub' meaning 'a remnant shall return.' Elijah thought he was alone, but God said He had 7,000 who hadn't bowed to Baal (1 Kings 19:18). Paul applied the remnant concept to Jewish believers in Jesus (Romans 11:5). It's the promise that God always preserves His people.
