1 | remnant and remainder? | Zeph 2:9 | Mommapbs | 99630 | ||
Greetings Ray, I see Israel as the "remnant of My people" and with regard to the "remainder of My nation, may I suggest that Abraham is called the father of many nations (Rom 4:17-18) . . . After reading a post by lastday, I began to wonder about the islamic world. They are called the Nation of Islam - do they not also call Abraham their father,believing that they are the sons of the promise that belongs to Ishmael rather than Isaac? Well, I'm just wondering if being from the loins of Abraham, if this nation will also be part of those who turn to Jesus duing the "last days" when God begins to judge the earth? These are my thoughts, also written in pencil . . .! I hope this post finds you feeling better. In Christ, mommapbs |

2 | remnant and remainder? | Zeph 2:9 | Ray | 99640 | ||
Hi mommapbs, I like your comparison and connection to Romans 4:17. I would hope that all the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place, as Zephaniah 2:11 says. But I am the wrong person to talk about the last days for that has never been my interest. For me, "Today" is the day of salvation. And salvation is not found in Allah or in any other god of the earth. Salvation is found in the God of Israel just as Zephaniah 2:9 says. Hebrews 3:12, "Take care, brethren lest there should be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart, in falling away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day, as long as it is still called "Today," lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end; while it is said, "TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME." Good to hear from you, mommapbs. I am doing fine now, thanks. From the heart, Ray |
