NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² God has not rejected his people whom he first knew. Do you remember what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he made intercession to God against Israel? ³ »Jehovah, they have killed your prophets, and torn down your altars. I am left alone, and they seek my life.« (1 Kings 19:14, 18) ⁴ What does God say in answer to him? »I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal.« ⁵ Even so at this present time there is a remnant chosen according to God’s grace.
