P. 64

And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  in  the  place
          where it was said unto them: You are not my
          people; there shall they be called the children
          of  the  living  God.  Isaiah  also  cried  concerning
          Israel,  though  the  number  of  the  children  of
          Israel is as the sand of the sea, a remnant shall
          be saved: For he will finish the work, and cut it

          short  in  righteousness:  because  the  Lord  will
          make a short work upon the earth.

          3  I  say,  then,  Has  God  cast  away  his  people?
          God  forbid,  for  I  also  am  an  Israelite,  of  the
          seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God
          has  not  cast  away  his  people,  which  he
          foreknew. Know not what the scripture says of

          Elias? How he made intercession to God against
          Israel,  saying,  Lord,  they  have  killed  your
          prophets  and dug down  your  altars;  and  I  am
          left alone, and they seek my life. But what did
          God  answer  him?  I  have  reserved  seven
          thousand men who have not bowed the knee
          to  the  image  of  Baal.  At  this  time,  there  is  a
          remnant according to the election of grace.


          4 Who has believed our report? And to whom is
          the  arm  of  the  LORD  revealed?  For  he  shall
                              63
