What else did the Spirit of Christ state in Isaiah?...

. . . Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha (Romans 9:29).

It is the Lord who preserves the seed of Israel, not the goodness of a minority of the Jews. If God had not determined to save a remnant of the nation, Israel would have been destroyed after the fashion of Sodom and Gomorrah.

The Messianic inheritance, the Presence of God, the Holy Spirit, rested on Abraham. The Messianic inheritance is the "olive tree."

The olive tree passed from Abraham to Isaac, from Isaac to Jacob (Israel), and from Jacob to his sons. The olive tree was with all the people of Israel until Isaiah proclaimed that God had chosen a remnant of Israel for His redemption.

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 10:22).

By the time of the Lord Jesus, the olive tree was a fraction of all the descendants of Jacob.

The Holy Spirit then called to salvation in Christ the remnant of Israel and a remnant of Gentiles. The two remnants now composed the olive tree, inheriting the Presence of God and the Holy Spirit In the last days the two remnants will become one stick in God’s hand and will be caught up to meet the Lord when He appears in the clouds of glory.

After that, the two remnants will return to earth, with the Lord Jesus as their Head, and God will pour out His Spirit on the physical land and people of Israel. Thus all Israel, the Lord’s elect, the olive tree, will be delivered from sin. The Lord Jesus will rule the world from the city of Jerusalem.

The purpose of the great tribulation is to perfect the two remnants and to drive them together in the Lord Jesus. The two remnants, as we understand the Scriptures, will constitute the firstfruits of the Bride of the Lamb.

Our salvation comes through elective grace, an election which is proceeding in harmony with the utterances of the Prophets given thousands of years ago. The Divine proclamations are working, working, working in the heavens and on the earth. Nothing can prevent the full creation of all that the almighty Word of God has spoken.

You and I are part of what has been proclaimed in advance.
