From Survival to Flourishing

Commentators explain that the 'remnant' signifies more than just a few survivors. It represents the core group God preserves through crisis to be the seed for future restoration and growth. John Calvin notes their 'going forth' from Jerusalem symbolizes a move from confinement and fear to freedom and the repopulation of the land. God doesn't just save His people; He restores them to flourish.
