Remnant Why Scripture’s Remnant Language Preserves Hope Copyright 2026. Elizabeth Shulam A remnant is what remains after loss or hardship. In Scripture, though, the remnant is a sign that God has not abandoned His promises. It shows us that even when people fail, and kingdoms fall, God still preserves what belongs to Him. The Bible speaks often about a remnant. In the prophets, the remnant is connected to Israel’s survival after judgment and exile. When Israel was scattered,

Romans 11 contains one of the most important discussions of Israel in the entire New Testament. For nearly two thousand years, Christians have wrestled with Paul's teaching in this chapter because it addresses questions that remain relevant today.

Messianic Judaism is a movement of Jewish people who believe that Yeshua (Jesus) is the promised Messiah of Israel while continuing to embrace their Jewish identity, heritage, and connection to the Jewish people.
