Remnant

The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions | 1997 | | Â© The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions 1997, originally published by Oxford University Press 1997. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

Remnant (of Israel; Heb., sheʾerit Israel). The few faithful Jews who are believed to survive calamitous punishment. The prophet Isaiah in particular developed this theme; his son was called Shear-Jashub (‘a remnant shall return’), and in ch. 6 it is promised that, despite the complete devastation of the land, a ‘holy seed’ shall remain. Similar doctrines can be found in Micah, Jeremiah, and Joel. To this day in the daily prayers are included the words, ‘Guardian of Israel, guard the Remnant of Israel and suffer not Israel to perish.’
