It is often used in the context of a remnant of people who survive calamity or judgment, emphasizing God's preservation and faithfulness to His covenant promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a remnant was significant in both religious and social terms.

This concept is seen throughout the prophetic literature, where the remnant is often portrayed as a beacon of hope and renewal for the nation.
