"Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed(Ro.9:31-33)".
Finally we shall examine the manner remnant moves forward. Cain slew his brother but God did not write 'finis' to the story of Adam's disobedience. Cain was rejected and how shall God's Salvation Plan move forward? "For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew(Ge.4:25)." Why a remnant? We shall understand its significance from the next verse. It was through his son Enos the world shall know the glory of God.'Then began men to call upon the name of theLord.'
Equivalent to the remnant the Spirit gives us the Law of Moses concerning gleaning without which Ruth a Moabite woman would not have been adopted into the holy family of God.
Gleaning of cornfields as well as of fruit trees were allowed in ancient Israel for the poor,- and it was a lowly task but according to the will of God Ruth who was alien, and outside the promise of God found her name in the book of life. She was indeed foreknown of God and become the matriarch of Davidic line.
The lame take the prey is a Spiritual truth because the lame is in the safekeeping of God and physical circumstances do not concern Him. Lazarus was poor nevertheless his future lled him into Abraham's bosom. No less the quantity: God wanted only 300 to fight on the side of Gideon. In the face of so many evidences a remnant is no different in His sight. "Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?"(Je.32:27)
