Although the nation Israel as a whole was Gods people, only a minority of the people ever truly believed. While the majority carried out their rituals without any attitude of genuine repentance or faith, there were always the few who were truly devoted to God. This faithful minority is consistently referred to as the remnant. Israel may have been Gods people in the national sense, but the remnant were Gods people in the spiritual sense. They were the true Israel (Rom_9:6-7; Rom_9:27).
When Gods people of Old Testament times rebelled against him, the prophets announced Gods judgment upon them. Time and again the prophets declared that God had rejected his unfaithful people but would preserve the faithful remnant. One task of the prophets was to build up and encourage the remnant (1Ki_19:18; Isa_1:9; Isa_8:16-19; Isa_10:20-23; Isa_28:5; Jer_15:19-21).
The prophets saw that events were heading towards a judgment far greater than anything the people had met previously. The nation would be conquered, Jerusalem destroyed and the people taken into captivity. But God would still preserve a remnant, so that after a time in captivity, some would return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple, the city and the nation (Ezr_9:13-15; Isa_11:11-12; Isa_11:16; Mic_2:12).
After the return, the people as a whole again became unfaithful to God, but there was always a remnant of faithful believers. From this remnant the Messiah eventually came (Mic_5:2-3; Mic_5:7-8; Zec_8:11-12; Mal_3:16-18; Mat_1:18-21; Luk_1:5-7; Luk_2:25-38).
Still the majority of Israel rebelled against God, this time rejecting the Messiah. But a remnant received him. This faithful minority of old Israel became the nucleus of the new people of God, the Christian church (Luk_24:44-49; Joh_20:20-22; Act_1:13-15; Act_2:1-4).
Within a few years the church consisted largely of non-Jews. Within it, however, were the believing Jews, the faithful remnant, the spiritual Israelites who believed in Jesus the Messiah and became part of his church (Act_13:43; Act_16:1; Act_17:2-4; Act_18:8; Rom_2:28-29; Rom_9:6-8; Rom_11:1-5).

rem?nant: Remnant is the translation of יתר, yether, ?what is left over? (Deu_3:11; Deu_28:54; Jos_12:4, etc.); of שׁאר, she'ār, ?the rest? (Ezr_3:8 the King James Version; Isa_10:20, Isa_10:21, Isa_10:22; Isa_11:16, etc.; Zep_1:4); more frequently of שׁארית, she'ērı̄th, ?residue,? etc. (2Ki_19:4, 2Ki_19:31; 2Ch_34:9; Ezr_9:14; Isa_14:30, etc.). As the translation of the last-mentioned two words, ?remnant? has a special significance in the prophecies of Isaiah, as denoting ?a holy seed,? or spiritual kernel, of the nation which should survive impending judgment and become the germ of the people of God, being blessed of God and made a blessing (compare Mic_2:12; Mic_4:7; Mic_5:7, Mic_5:8; Mic_7:18; also Zep_2:7; Zep_3:13; Hag_1:12, Hag_1:14; Zec_8:6; Joe_2:32). Paul, in Rom_9:27, quotes from Isa_10:22 f, ?the remnant (katáleimma, ?what is left over? shall be saved?; compare also Rom_11:5 (where the word is leı́mma) with 2Ki_19:4. Several other Hebrew words are less frequently translated ?remnant?: 'āhar, ?after?; yāthar, ?to be left over,? etc.; in the New Testament (the King James Version) we have also loipós, ?left,? ?remaining? (Mat_22:6; Rev_11:13, etc.).
For ?remnant? the Revised Version (British and American) has ?overhanging part? (Exo_26:12), ?rest? (Lev_14:18, etc.); on the other hand gives ?remnant? for ?posterity? (Gen_45:7), for ?rest? (Jos_10:20; 1Ch_4:43; Isa_10:19), for ?residue? (Hag_2:2; Zec_8:11), etc.
