What is the remnant doctrine in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The remnant doctrine refers to the small group of faithful believers who remain loyal to God amid widespread apostasy.

The remnant doctrine underscores the idea that throughout biblical history, God preserves a faithful group of believers despite the spiritual decline around them. In Revelation 12:17, it is noted that the dragon is enraged with the woman and goes to make war with 'the remnant of her offspring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.' This remnant serves as a testament to God’s faithfulness and the continuation of His purposes in history. The remnant is often characterized by their faithfulness, perseverance, and adherence to God's commands, as seen in both the Old and New Testaments. They represent hope for God's covenant promises, emphasizing that even in times of judgment, grace abounds through the faithful.
