Subject: remnant and remainder? |
Bible Note: 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 |
