Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a remnant is שְׁאֵרִית (she'erit), Strong's Hebrew #7611, which also denotes a remainder or surviving group.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Bible, the concept of a remnant is significant in both the Old and New Testaments. Historically, the remnant refers to those who remain faithful to God despite the majority turning away.

Theologically, the remnant represents God's ongoing commitment to His covenant promises, ensuring that His purposes are fulfilled through a faithful few.
