Current coverage includes Ezekiel, Micah.
A remnant is the group that remains after judgment—survivors preserved by God for ongoing covenant purposes. Ezekiel uses this theme to show that widespread rebellion does not nullify God’s commitments, even though it brings real loss. The remnant may be scattered and humbled, yet kept so that God’s work of restoration can continue.
13It happened, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
15They shall know that I am Yahweh, when I shall disperse them among the nations, and scatter them through the countries.
16But I will leave a few men of them from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence; that they may declare all their abominations among the nations where they come; and they shall know that I am Yahweh.
3You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
4Of these again shall you take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; therefrom shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel.
8Yet will I leave a remnant, in that you shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when you shall be scattered through the countries.
9Those of you that escape shall remember me among the nations where they shall be carried captive, how that I have been broken with their lewd heart, which has departed from me, and with they eyes, which play the prostitute after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.
10They shall know that I am Yahweh: I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.
4Yahweh said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done in the midst of it.
8It happened, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell on my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yahweh! will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?
12I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they shall make great noise by reason of [the multitude of] men.
13The breaker is gone up before them: they have broken forth and passed on to the gate, and are gone out thereat; and their king is passed on before them, and Yahweh at the head of them.
6In that day, says Yahweh, will I assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from henceforth even forever.
7The remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples as dew from Yahweh, as showers on the grass, that don`t wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
8The remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, as a lion among the animals of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he go through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
9Let your hand be lifted up above your adversaries, and let all your enemies be cut off.
18Who is a God like you, that pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? he doesn`t retain his anger forever, because he delights in lovingkindness.
19He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20You will perform the truth to Jacob, [and] the lovingkindness to Abraham, which you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
