Then this people will rise and bwhore after the foreign gods among them in the land that they are entering, and they will cforsake me and dbreak my covenant that I have made with them. 17Then my anger will be kindled against them in that day, and eI will forsake them and fhide my face from them, and they will be devoured. And many evils and troubles will come upon them, so that they will say in that day, g‘Have not these evils come upon us because hour God is not among us?’2 Chronicles 15:2

The Remnant of Israel
1I ask, then, qhas God rejected his people? By no means! For rI myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, ▼▼Or one of the offspring of Abraham
a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 tGod has not rejected his people whom he uforeknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? Romans 11:20
