6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, {d} that ye may have [some] that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.
(d) He shows that in all dangers God will preserve a few, which will be as the seed of his Church and call on his Name.
6:8 Remnant - It is the Lord that preserves a remnant, the enemies rage would destroy all.
6:8-10 A remnant of Israel should be left; at length they should remember the Lord, their obligations to him, and rebellion against him. True penitents see sin to be that abominable thing which the Lord hates. Those who truly loathe sin, loathe themselves because of sin. They give glory to God by their repentance. Whatever brings men to remember Him, and their sins against him, should be regarded as a blessing.
