Isaiah 1 9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah.
This was when the children of Israel, being set apart from entire world to be a holy nation, mingled themselves with idolatry to bow down to false gods. Israel was like Sodom and Gomorrah. However, Jehovah was able to preserve remnant vessels to serve Him as He always did with Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David and more. It is clear that the remnant was very small. It was not a popular thing to follow the way of Jehovah, even in Israel.
The same happened and is happening in the church. Churches, at large, are far far from Jesus. If we follow traditions of man made churches, we will never meet with Jesus. We must accept that we will to be rare among the people who call themselves Christians. Walk away from physical and spiritual Sodom and Gomorrah to be very small remnant. Even so, it is the grace of Jesus that He leaves us such very small remnant.
