Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: kataleimma
Pronunciation: kah-tah'-laym-mah
Phonetic Spelling: (kat-al'-ime-mah)
Definition: Remnant
Meaning: a remnant, small residue.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb καταλείπω (kataleipō), meaning "to leave behind" or "to forsake."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7611 שְׁאֵרִית (she'erit) – meaning "remnant" or "residue."

- H7605 שָׁאָר (sha'ar) – meaning "to remain" or "to be left over."

Usage: The term "kataleimma" refers to a remainder or a small surviving group. In the New Testament, it is used to describe a faithful remnant of God's people who remain true to Him despite widespread unfaithfulness or apostasy. This concept is rooted in the idea that God preserves a portion of His people to fulfill His purposes and promises.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Jewish tradition, the concept of a remnant is significant, especially during times of exile and judgment. The prophets often spoke of a remnant that would return to God and be restored. This idea carried into the New Testament, where the early Christian community saw themselves as the faithful remnant of Israel, chosen by grace to carry forward God's covenant promises.
