God preserves a remnant for His name

God's visitation program is a showing up in judgment, and God visited Israel and Judah with His judgment. But the Lord is zealous to preserve a remnant for His name that was faithful to Him.

And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, And bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, And those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.
(Isaiah 37:31-32)

Justice is turned back, And righteousness stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street, And equity cannot enter. So truth fails, And he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and it displeased Him That there was no justice. He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own righteousness, it sustained Him. For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak. According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay, Fury to His adversaries, Recompense to His enemies; The coastlands He will fully repay. So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. "The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob," Says the LORD. "As for Me," says the LORD, "this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants' descendants," says the LORD, "from this time and forevermore."
(Isaiah 59:14-21)

Look down from heaven, And see from Your habitation, holy and glorious. Where are Your zeal and Your strength, The yearning of Your heart and Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?
(Isaiah 63:15)

Your holy people have possessed it but a little while; Our adversaries have trodden down Your sanctuary.
(Isaiah 63:18)

Oh, that You would rend the heavens! That You would come down! That the mountains might shake at Your presence—
(Isaiah 64:1)

Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. Our holy and beautiful temple, Where our fathers praised You, Is burned up with fire; And all our pleasant things are laid waste. Will You restrain Yourself because of these things, O LORD? Will You hold Your peace, and afflict us very severely?
(Isaiah 64:10-12)

Thus says the LORD: "As the new wine is found in the cluster, And one says, 'Do not destroy it, For a blessing is in it,' So will I do for My servants' sake, That I may not destroy them all. I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, And from Judah an heir of My mountains; My elect shall inherit it, And My servants shall dwell there.
(Isaiah 65:8-9)

You can go to abideinhisword.com to listen to my morning radio teachings on Revelation where we talk about God's coming wrath and coming glory.

We are either part of the problem or part of the solution. We are either part of the shame, or part of the glory. Which are you? Are you one of the zealous remnant of God that in the midst of apathy and worldliness lifts up the standard for Jesus and His way?

Come visit Egypt tonight at our Calvary Chapel Space Coast Titusville campus and see our zeal for God. Catch the Fire!
