Job 14:7-9
There is hope for a tree: If it is cut down, it will sprout again, and its shoots will not die.If its roots grow old in the ground and its stump starts to die in the soil,the smell of water makes it thrive and produce twigs like a sapling.

Romans 11:5-6
In the same way, then, there is also at the present time a remnant chosen by grace.Now if by grace, then it is not by works; otherwise grace ceases to be grace.

Galatians 3:28-29

-
Ezra 9:2
Indeed, the Israelite men have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed has become mixed with the surrounding peoples. The leaders and officials have taken the lead in this unfaithfulness!”

Romans 11:16-29
Now if the firstfruits offered up are holy, so is the whole batch. And if the root is holy, so are the branches.Now if some of the branches were broken off, and you, though a wild olive branch, were grafted in among them and have come to share in the rich root of the cultivated olive tree,do not brag that you are better than those branches. But if you do brag— you do not sustain the root, but the root sustains you.Then you will say,“ Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”True enough; they were broken off by unbelief, but you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid.For if God did not spare the natural branches, He will not spare you either.Therefore, consider God’s kindness and severity: severity toward those who have fallen but God’s kindness toward you— if you remain in His kindness. Otherwise you too will be cut off.And even they, if they do not remain in unbelief, will be grafted in, because God has the power to graft them in again.For if you were cut off from your native wild olive and against nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more will these— the natural branches— be grafted into their own olive tree?So that you will not be conceited, brothers, I do not want you to be unaware of this mystery: A partial hardening has come to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.And in this way all Israel will be saved, as it is written: The Liberator will come from Zion; He will turn away godlessness from Jacob.And this will be My covenant with them when I take away their sins.Regarding the gospel, they are enemies for your advantage, but regarding election, they are loved because of the patriarchs,since God’s gracious gifts and calling are irrevocable.

Matthew 24:22
Unless those days were limited, no one would survive. But those days will be limited because of the elect.
-
Galatians 3:16-19
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say“ and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed, who is Christ.And I say this: The law, which came 430 years later, does not revoke a covenant that was previously ratified by God and cancel the promise.For if the inheritance is from the law, it is no longer from the promise; but God granted it to Abraham through the promise.Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. The law was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator.

Isaiah 10:20-22
On that day the remnant of Israel and the survivors of the house of Jacob will no longer depend on the one who struck them, but they will faithfully depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.The remnant will return, the remnant of Jacob, to the Mighty God.Israel, even if your people were as numerous as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will return. Destruction has been decreed; justice overflows.

Mark 13:20

Isaiah 65:8-9
The Lord says this: As the new wine is found in a bunch of grapes, and one says,‘ Don’t destroy it, for there’s some good in it,’ so I will act because of My servants and not destroy them all.I will produce descendants from Jacob, and heirs to My mountains from Judah; My chosen ones will possess it, and My servants will dwell there.

“ I am the true vine, and My Father is the vineyard keeper.Every branch in Me that does not produce fruit He removes, and He prunes every branch that produces fruit so that it will produce more fruit.You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you.

Didn’t the one God make us with a remnant of His life-breath? And what does the One seek? A godly offspring. So watch yourselves carefully, and do not act treacherously against the wife of your youth.
