| | REMNANT - Holman Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org |
 | | Several Hebrew words express the remnant idea: yether, “that which is left over”; she' ar, “that which remains”; she' rith, “residue”; pelitah, “one who escapes”; sarid, “a survivor”; and, sheruth, “one loosed from bonds.” In the New Testament, remnant or left over is the equivalent of the Greek words: kataleimma, leimma, and loipos. |
 | | Hosea's book does not use the remnant terminology, but the concept of the Lord's mercy extended to those experiencing judgment is present in several places (Hosea 2:14-23; Hosea 3:4-5; Hosea 6:1-3; Hosea 11:8-11; Hosea 13:14; Hosea 14:1-9) including calls to repentance and descriptions of what the remnant may enjoy in life. |
 | | Many remnant passages are closely tied with the future king, the Messiah, who would be the majestic ruler of those who seek his mercies (Isaiah 9:1-7; Isaiah 11:1-16; Isaiah 32:1-8; Isaiah 33:17-24). |
