isaiah chapter 9
Isaiah Chapter 9
(Isaiah 9:1)
Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her
vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of
Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more
grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in
Galilee of the nations.
- The northern part of Israel saw the first of the northern
invaders, obviously
- This is their darkness, so their light is then first at the
ministry of Jesus Christ
Matthew 4:15-16
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of
the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles; The people which
sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the
region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
(Luke 1:79)
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow
of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
(Isaiah 9:2)
The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light:
they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them
hath the light shined.
- This is the prophecy for the opening of Jesus Ministry, in
this area of the north where the invasion would start, so they
who first saw the darkness come will first see the light
arrive
- The fulfillment of this is in all of the Gospels
- Matthew 4:12, Mark 1:14, Mark 2:21, Luke 4:14, John 2:1
- It is also where Jesus Christ was first rejected
FULFILLMENT IN THE GOSPELS
Matthew 4:12-17
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he
departed into Galilee; And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in
Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon
and Nephthalim: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Esaias the prophet, saying, The land of Zabulon, and the land of
Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the
Gentiles; The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and
to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is
sprung up. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,
Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mark 1:21
And they went into Capernaum; and straightway on the sabbath
day he entered into the synagogue, and taught.
Luke 4:28-30
And all they in the synagogue, when they heard these things,
were filled with wrath, And rose up, and thrust him out of the
city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city
was built, that they might cast him down headlong. But he passing
through the midst of them went his way,
John 2:1
And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and
the mother of Jesus was there:
(Isaiah 9:3)
Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy:
they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men
rejoice when they divide the spoil.
- It would seem that the physical blessing of this world do not
bring anyone joy, not even being God's chosen nation
(Isaiah 9:4)
For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of
his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of
Midian.
- God gets the victory, and the Glory
- God show how few soldiers are necessary to win over an
impossible enemy
- This is solely on faith, not might or power
- Jesus Christ will break the bonds of all oppression today and
always, for anyone who accepts Him and His sacrificial,
substitutional death on the Cross for their sins and as their
personal LORD and Saviour
- The rod and staff of the LORD are the opposite to that of any
man on earth
(Psalms 23:4 [KJV])
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff
they comfort me.

Judges Chapter 7: VICTORY OVER AND IN MIDIAN
CONTEXT
Judges 6:5-6
For they came up with their cattle and their tents, and
they came as grasshoppers for multitude; for both they and
their camels were without number: and they entered into the
land to destroy it.And Israel was greatly impoverished because of
the Midianites; and the children of Israel cried unto the
LORD.
Judges 7:1-2
Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were
with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so
that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them,
by the hill of Moreh, in the valley. And the LORD said unto
Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give
the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves
against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
- With too many soldiers, man can claim a victory not
his(v.2)
- The odds, in man's mind, are not so impossible here
yet
Judges 7:3-7
Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people,
saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and
depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people
twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. And the
LORD said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them
down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it
shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee,
the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee,
This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
So he brought down the people unto the water: and the LORD said
unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue,
as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every
one that boweth down upon his knees to drink. And the number of
them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three
hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their
knees to drink water. And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the three
hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the
Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every
man unto his place.
- Fear is a good factor or method to cull any army for
battle
- Two thirds down is a lot of shrinkage, but God is not
done
- Dogs were considered nothing and still are throughout the
world, especially the Middle East
- Possibly few would want to be known drinking like a dog and
God knows this
- This therefore will lower the numbers way down by yet another
97%
- Now, with only 300 men, the odds are finally impossible
against "an innumerable enemy"
Judges 7:8-14
So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets:
and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and
retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was
beneath him in the valley. And it came to pass the same night,
that the LORD said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host;
for I have delivered it into thine hand.
But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down
to the host: And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward
shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then
went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the
armed men that were in the host. And the Midianites and the
Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the
valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were
without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude. And
when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream
unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a
cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came
unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that
the tent lay along.
And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the
sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his
hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
- The host of the Midianites had to have filled the entire
valley-against the ragtag 300 man army of Israel
- A prophecy of sure victory, increasing faith, proving
God's Sovereignty, love, protection, preservation,
promise
- Barley cakes were common throughout the Bible
Judges 7:15-18
And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and
the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into
the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the LORD hath delivered
into your hand the host of Midian. And he divided the three
hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every
man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the
pitchers.
And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold,
when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I
do, so shall ye do. When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that
are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all
the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon.
- Knowing one has the victory already means it is reason and it
is time to worship
- The Sword of the LORD is God's Word-it's offensive as
a weapon, all one needs for salvation from the enemy, perfect,
twoedged (cuts both ways), and is God's promise of
protection, salvation
- See Psalm 119
(Hebrews 4:12 )
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than
any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul
and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of
the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(Revelation 1:16 )
And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth
went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun
shineth in his strength.
(Revelation 2:16 )
Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight
against them with the sword of my mouth.
(Ephesians 6:17 )
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit,
which is the word of God:
(Revelation 19:15 )
And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of
iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath
of Almighty God.
Judges 7:19-25
So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto
the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and
they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and
brake the pitchers that were in their hands. And the three
companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the
lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands
to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of
Gideon. And they stood every man in his place round about the
camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. And the three
hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword
against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host
fled to Bethshittah in Zererath, and to the border of
Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. And the men of Israel gathered
themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of
all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying,
Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters
unto Bethbarah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered
themselves together, and took the waters unto Bethbarah and
Jordan. And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and
Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew
at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the
heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side
Jordan.
- Like this victory over Midian, Israel is told they will again
emerge victorious over the Assyrian rampage, and all enemies, one
day
********************************************
(Isaiah 9:5)
For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and
garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel
of fire.
- The Return of the LORD Jesus Christ will include this victory
of fire to destroy His enemies
- The blood on earth at that time will be from the wars of the
nations against Israel and against each other-plus the martyrdoms
of the believers by the anti-christ's short-lived
kingdom
(Revelation 14:20)
And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came
out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space
of a thousand and six hundred furlongs.
(2 Thessalonians 1:7-8)
And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey
not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
(Hebrews 12:29 )
For our God is a consuming fire.
(Isaiah 9:6-7)
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the
government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government
and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and
upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment
and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the
LORD of hosts will perform this.
- The Christmas card verse!
- The "us" is the nation of Israel, from
Abraham's promises to Davids Eternal Throne
- "a son" is THE SON of God, God the Son
- "the government" is in the Millennial Kingdom and
all of Eternity
- Jesus Christ is indeed Wonderful, full of Wonder
- There is no better counsel than His Word
- Mighty God, His Deity
- Prince of Peace. His peace surpasses all understanding. His
Peace He leaves us, not like the "peace" of this
world
(Isaiah 9:8)
The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon
Israel.
- God has spoken to them through his prophets, and now
Isaiah
(Isaiah 9:9)
And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant
of Samaria, that say in the pride and stoutness of heart,
- Pride kills, and will kill them also soon, with the remnant
left
- Rebellion is an offshoot of pride, since one will rebel from
God, if they think they are great
STOUTNESS, n.
1. Strength; bulk.
2. Boldness; fortitude.
3. Obstinacy; stubbornness.
(Isaiah 9:10)
The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn
stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into
cedars.
- But a lack of national repentance and a desire to continue in
the rebellion
- This is the word of God rejected(1 Samuel 15:23)
REBELLION,
STUBBORNNESS-"STOUTNESS OF HEART"
(Ezekiel 28:15 )
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast
created, till iniquity was found in thee.
(1 Samuel 15:23)
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and
stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou
hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee
from being king.
(Isaiah 9:11)
Therefore the LORD shall set up the adversaries of Rezin
against him, and join his enemies together;
- The reason for the invasion, destruction is simple:
PRIDE
(Isaiah 9:12)
The Syrians before, and the Philistines behind; and they shall
devour Israel with open mouth. For all this his anger is not
turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
- Surrounded on two fronts, engulfed, eaten, chewed up,
swallowed
(Isaiah 9:13)
For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither
do they seek the LORD of hosts.
- Again the reason is that they walked away and now refuse to
come back
(Isaiah 9:14)
Therefore the LORD will cut off from Israel head and tail,
branch and rush, in one day.
- Each enemy on each end to cut off that end-using body parts
and plants to describe it
(Isaiah 9:15)
The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet
that teacheth lies, he is the tail.
- Dead are the wise sages, dead are the false prophets
- This was Israel's job to remove false teachers
(Deuteronomy 18:20)
But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my
name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall
speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die.
(Isaiah 9:16)
For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they
that are led of them are destroyed.
- Leadership leading the flock astray who are supposed to lead
them toward the LORD
- Shepherds lead and sheep follow.....that is natural.....to
where they will follow is to where they shepherd leads, either
good or bad
- Shepherds are accountable to God more for their role
- They also are attacked more, and need prayer for that
- Throughout Israel's colored history, there were always
those who led Israel astray, and here in the reign of Ahaz there
is no exception
SHEPHERDS OF SHEEP:AHAZ
(2 Chronicles 28:1-3)
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he
reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was
right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father: For he
walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten
images for Baalim. Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the
son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the
abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before the
children of Israel.
- Idolatry (molten images of Baal)
- Burnt incense (exclusive duty of priests)
- "The Valley of Hinnom" is a place for intense
idolatry, groves of trees and child sacrifices of the past
- Child sacrifice
- According to the people that God cast out, for their benefit
in order to worship Him, and be separate, because they were
abominable
- This practice still continues today throughout the world, as
abortion (child sacrifice), idolatry never ceases
SHEPHERDS OF SHEEP: PASTORS
(Hebrews 13:17 [KJV])
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves:
for they watch for your souls, as they that must give
account, that they may do it with joy, and not with
grief: for that is unprofitable for you.
(Hebrews 13:7 [KJV])
Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken
unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end
of their conversation.
(James 3:1 [KJV])
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall
receive the greater condemnation.
(Isaiah 9:17)
Therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men,
neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows: for
every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth
speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but
his hand is stretched out still.
- Since God told them that they were ignoring the plight of the
innocent and helpless widows and orphans, this is the judgment
for that
- And yet..........His Hand is stretched out still, seeking
fellowship, repentance, wanting to forgive them
(Isaiah 9:18)
For wickedness burneth as the fire: it shall devour the briers
and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and
they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke.
- Dry brush in large numbers, plus fire, means a raging
inferno, unstoppable
- Wickedness comes in like that.......subtly at first, then
increases rapidly and then exponentially as more and more people
are consumed with religious fervor
- Add to this God being an all consuming fire in judgment, and
this is a recipe for absolute cremation
GOD: A CONSUMING FIRE
(Deuteronomy 4:24)
For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a
jealous God.
(Deuteronomy 9:3)
Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which
goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall
destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy
face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as
the LORD hath said unto thee.
(Hebrews 12:29)
For our God is a consuming fire.
(Isaiah 9:19)
Through the wrath of the LORD of hosts is the land darkened,
and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire: no man shall
spare his brother.
- The tow, the spark, the fuel of fire, darkening, all
consumption of the idolaters
- A remnant shall be left, but the rest shall be consumed in
God's wrath, using the Assyrian enemy in judgment
(Isaiah 9:20)
And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he
shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied: they
shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm:
- Famine, from the crops and all plants being consumed, nothing
left but cannibalism
- This is where worshiping false gods leads to in the end.
There may be sin for a season, but judgment of sin is
forever
(Hebrews 11:25 [KJV]) Choosing rather to suffer affliction with
the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of
sin for a
season;
(Ezekiel 5:10)
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of
thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will
execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I
scatter into all the winds.
THE HOPE, THE REMNANT OF ISRAEL
(Romans 11:4)
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have
reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the
knee to the image of Baal.
(1 Kings 19:18)
Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the
knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth which hath
not kissed him.
(1 Kings 12:23)
Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and
unto all the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the
remnant of the people, saying,
(2 Kings 19:4)
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of
Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to
reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the
LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for
the remnant that are left.
(2 Kings 19:30)
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah
shall yet again take root downward, and bear fruit
upward.
(2 Kings 19:31)
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they
that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts
shall do this.
(2 Chronicles 30:6)
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes
throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment
of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the
LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will
return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of
the kings of Assyria.
(2 Chronicles 34:9)
And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the
money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites
that kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and
Ephraim,
and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all
Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to Jerusalem.
(Ezra 3:8)
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at
Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of
Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak,
and the
remnant of their brethren the priests and the
Levites, and all they that were come out of the
captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty
years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the
LORD.
(Ezra 9:8)
And now for a little space
grace hath been shewed from
the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape,
and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten
our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
(Nehemiah 1:3)
And they said unto me,
The remnant that are left of the
captivity there in the province are in great
affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken
down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
(Isaiah 1:9)
Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small
remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should
have been like unto Gomorrah.
(Isaiah 10:20)
And
it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant
of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of
Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but
shall stay upon the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
(Isaiah 10:21)
The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob,
unto the mighty God.
(Isaiah 10:22)
For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea,
yet a remnant of them shall return: the
consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness.
(Isaiah 11:11)
And it shall come to pass in that day, that
the Lord
shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant
of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and
from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and
from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
(Isaiah 11:16)
And there shall be an highway for
the remnant of his
people, which shall be left, from Assyria; like as it
was to Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of
Egypt.
(Isaiah 14:22)
For I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut
off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew,
saith the LORD.
(Isaiah 37:4)
It may be the LORD thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom
the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living
God, and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath
heard: wherefore
lift up thy prayer for the remnant that
is left. (Isaiah 37:31)
And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah
shall again take root downward, and bear fruit
upward:
(Isaiah 37:32)
For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they
that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the LORD of hosts
shall do this.
(Isaiah 46:3)
Hearken unto me, O house of Jacob, and
all the remnant
of the house of Israel, which are borne by me from the belly,
which are carried from the womb:
(Jeremiah 6:9)
Thus saith the LORD of hosts,
They shall throughly glean
the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand
as a grapegatherer into the baskets.
(Jeremiah 23:3)
And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all
countries whither I have driven them, and will bring
them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and
increase.
(Jeremiah 31:7) For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for
Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations:
publish
ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of
Israel.
(Jeremiah 40:11)
Likewise when all the Jews that were in Moab, and among the
Ammonites, and in Edom, and that were in all the countries, heard
that
the king of Babylon had left a remnant of
Judah, and that he had set over them Gedaliah the son
of Ahikam the son of Shaphan;
(Jeremiah 40:15)
Then Johanan the son of Kareah spake to Gedaliah in Mizpah
secretly, saying, Let me go, I pray thee, and I will slay Ishmael
the son of Nethaniah, and no man shall know it:
wherefore should he slay thee, that all the Jews which
are gathered unto thee should be scattered, and the remnant in
Judah perish?
(Jeremiah 41:16)
Then took Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces that were with him,
all the remnant of the people
whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from
Mizpah, after that he had slain Gedaliah the son of
Ahikam, even mighty men of war, and the women, and the children,
and the eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon:
(Jeremiah 42:2)
And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our
supplication be accepted before thee, and
pray for us
unto the LORD thy God, even for all this remnant;
(for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us:)
(Jeremiah 42:15)
And now therefore hear the word of the LORD,
ye remnant of
Judah; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel;
If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to
sojourn there;
(Jeremiah 42:19)
The LORD hath said concerning you,
O ye remnant of
Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I
have admonished you this day.
(Jeremiah 43:5)
But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the
forces, took
all the remnant of Judah, that were
returned from all nations, whither they had been
driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
(Jeremiah 44:12)
And I will take the remnant of Judah, that
have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt to sojourn
there, and they shall all be consumed, and fall in the land of
Egypt; they shall even be consumed by the sword and by the
famine: they shall die, from the least even unto the greatest, by
the sword and by the famine: and they shall be an execration, and
an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach.
(Jeremiah 44:28)
Yet a small number that escape the
sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of
Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone
into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words
shall stand, mine, or theirs.
(Ezekiel 6:8)
Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have
some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall
be scattered through the countries.
(Ezekiel 11:13)
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of
Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a
loud voice, and said,
Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou make a full
end of the remnant of Israel?
(Ezekiel 14:22)
Yet, behold,
therein shall be left a remnant that shall
