ISB ~ Romans 11 v2 - 4

Scripture shows that God preserves a remnant of Israel even when most of the nation goes astray.

• This was the case in Elijah’s day, when nearly all of the Northern Kingdom of Israel abandoned Yahweh for the idolatrous cult of Baal (1 Kings 16:30-32). The prophet despaired that he alone was left, but the Lord had preserved a remnant of believers 7,000 strong that escaped his notice.
