Core ideas embodied in the meaning of “remnants”
the Lord alone is the source…
• of goodness and truth
• they remain His with us
• His is the kingdom, the power, and the glory
• Zeph 3.5• Ezekiel 36.1-37
of ourselves we are utterly unworthy and unable to do good
• Ezek 6.8-10; 16.60-63; 20.13, 21-22, 43 • Ezek 36.21-23, 31-32• Ezek 39.21-29• Isa 1.2-9• Isa 43.7, 21, 25 • Isa 44.23• Isa 49.3• Isa 48.9-12• Zeph 3.
the Lord gathers, protects, and exalts…
• what is His own with us• Ezek 36.21-23, 31-32• Ezek 39.21-29 • Isa 43.1-7, 11-28
the Lord gathers, protects, and exalts…
• from Him we have order, sustenance, happiness, peace, safety, and power over our enemies
• Mic 5.7-9• Zeph 2• Zeph 3.1-20
the Lord gathers, protects, and exalts…
• from Him we will be a blessing to others (nations)
• Ezek 39.• Zech 8.1-15, 20-23• Zeph 3.1-20
the Lord brings about our long-term good
• He oversees the process of growth & salvation, with long-sighted wisdom and compassion
• Ezek 36. (better than at the first) • Zeph 3.1-20
