A forecast of Israel becoming more numerous than the stars came true to Abraham. Isaiah had to bear the "bad news" following disobedience of the exile... only a remnant will survive. The Old Testament is a series of historical ups and downs. Humankind turning away from the Lord shapes the downward spiral and returning to the Lord shapes an upward spiral. The same is true today! Here is the passage....
"In that day the remnant of Israel, the survivors of the house of Jacob, will no longer rely on him who struck them down but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel. A remnant will return, a remnant of Jacob will return to the Mighty God. Though your people, O Israel, be like the sand by the sea, only a remnant will return."
