Isaiah 24:13-15

How blessed and gracious this comes in! In the worst of times, there is a remnant according to the election of grace. If the Lord, indeed, had not left us, and did not still leave us, a small remnant we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. Pray turn to those scriptures, Romans 11:5; Isaiah 65:8. How suitable is it, as the prophet speaks, that this remnant should lift up their voice, and sing redemption! For if the plague be so general, what must be the mercy to escape it? If the world be universally gone to putrefaction, how blessed must it be to be the salt of the earth! Matthew 5:13; Daniel 3:27; Acts 16:24.
