“For out of Jerusalem will come a remnant, and out of Mount Zion a band of survivors. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this” (Isaiah 37:32).
In a time when many people are turning away from the Lord, God is
still preserving His own people for Himself. He keeps us for Himself so
that we might be used by Him to bring others to Him. In response to
His revelation, we are to preach His Gospel among the Gentiles (the
unbelieving world) (Galatians 2:2), so that they, with us, may “exalt Him in the assembly of the people ...” (Psalm 107:32).
" ... Will you ... come and stand before Me in this house, which bears My Name, and say, We are safe" - safe to do all these detestable things? Has this house, which bears My Name become a den of robbers to you? But I have been watching! declares the Lord" (Jeremiah 7:8-11). “God demands a conversion of the mind and heart as the basis of peace and security (cf. Is 26:3), not the superstitious veneration of a stone building or a traditionally sacred site” ( R K Harrison , Jeremiah ).
