The remnant - Part One

 

As we discuss the issue of salvation in those times of tribulation called Jacob’s trouble, the end of the age, the day of YAHUAH, and so on, many questions arise about the remnant.  Who are they, how are they determined, and equally important, how many will there be?

Bear in mind that in the first tribulation, in the deluge of the time of Noach, there were eight (8) people which were the entire remnant.  Eight. There is a reduction contemplated in the second teshuvah as well. How big is the remnant the second time around?

Yermiyahu (Jeremiah) 3:14
Turn, O backsliding children, says YAHUAH; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one (echad) of a city, and two (sheniym) of a family, and I will bring you to Tsiyon:

Many have said: Let us be one of the remnant.  Let’s explore this word remnant a bit.

Mattithyahu (Matthew) 22:2-14
The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3 And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4 Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6 And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8 Then said he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9 Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage.

10 So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11 And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which did not have on a wedding garment: 12 And he said to him, Friend, how come you in here not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13 Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.

Here if would appear the remnant are the bad guys. However, the scripture gives us a good reading as to their identity.  They are first and foremost those who elect to ignore the wedding of the Son, even though they have been expressly invited and are in fact the intended guests.  And who are the intended guests of the Father if not the chosen ones of the house of Yisra’el?  And who among the house of Yisra’el would choose to ignore the wedding of the Son? Whoever they may be, they are called the remnant in this passage.
