A seed.
A remnant.
A very small remnant.
Rom 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Isa 1:9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.

A very small remnant of people have remained God's all through time from the beginning. The earth has never been completely void of those who would be God's. Satan has done his best to get everyone down to the last person to belong to him, but he's never succeeded. Though the world was filled with evil Noah found grace in God's eyes. Though not even ten righteous people were found in Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot was saved from destruction.
There has forever been those who would be God's, all through HIS mercy. Those living in a sin-filled world yet choosing to love God more than themselves.
Let's read what Paul said after repeating what Isaiah said--
Rom 9:28 For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
Rom 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.
Rom 9:30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.
Rom 9:31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.
Rom 9:32 Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;
Rom 9:33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
I want to study this more in depth, but I'm not feeling all that well tonight so this is going to be really short and we'll pick it up, by the grace of God, tomorrow.
All in HIS LOVE.
