4So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate than the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am theLord.
God cannot deny himself. His Holiness is set in the Power and glory of His word. When the Lord God said,'Let there be light' it was so. God fashioned heart of man alike. So truth written in his inner man shall reveal the truth of God to whosoever shall seek him. So 'remnant' as a theological idea is to make the connection between God and Man understood well by man. When the Pharisees asked Jesus to restrain his disciples from shouting "And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out (Lk.19:39-40)"For this reason man is a spectacle unto angels as well."for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men (1 Co.4:9)".In this connection we shall consider the saying of Jesus to his disciples on sending them to preach the gospel,"And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet./Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city(Matt.10:14-15). A remnant is how God's sovereignty established so He shall always be justified as St Paul uses the case of Esau and Jacob.
(Ro:9:21-23)",
"I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion." It is thus a remnant of Israel shall be added to the redeemed from the earth. And these shall be found in the New Jerusalem. While discussing Ezekiel we see the rebellious house of Israel was rejected. St Paul states why,"But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness. Their works only made their case worse. But grace of God is greater.
