A Wheel within a Wheel
Chapter 7
The Remnant of Israel
The Lord states throughout scripture that He will always save a remnant. This would be what is referred to as “The Remnant of Israel.” This remnant that the Lord saves is NOT speaking about the nation of Israel located in the Middle East. NOR is He speaking about the physical Jews in the Middle East. He is speaking about Spiritual Israel, the church. The Remnant of Israel is the church, which are the Christians.
The Remnant of Israel is comprised of both the 144,000 and the Multitude. They are the only ones that are or will be saved. The Lord will truly save a remnant. Let’ establish who is a spiritual Jew. Paul makes it very clear.
Ro 2:28, 29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Paul tells us that he is not a Jew who is a Jew in the flesh, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly, in the spirit. The physical Jews are not spiritual Jews. The Christians are spiritual Jews. The Christians are the ones that have circumcision of the heart and are born in the spirit.
The church contains the spiritual Jews. They are spiritual Israel that is spoken about so much in scripture. Once we have that understanding, we can begin to understand that all of the prophetic scriptures are speaking about the church, the spiritual Jews, and spiritual Israel.
The next understanding of spiritual Israel and the spiritual Jew is we now need to apply the division of the church, or the division of spiritual Israel. The 144,000 have come out of spiritual Israel, Jerusalem, Judah, Babylon, etc. The rest of spiritual Israel, Jerusalem, Judah, Babylon, etc. is divided into thirds.
The division into Serpents, Scorpions, and Multitude helps us to understand what is happening with the total destruction of spiritual Israel. Only the 144,000 and the Multitude are the Remnant of Israel. The Serpents and the Scorpions are not and will go to the Lake of Fire.
Ezekiel 21:1-3 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
From the verse above we can see the Lord is giving warning to Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel. These would all be referring to Spiritual Israel in the latter days. The sword that the Lord pulls out of His sheath is the Tribulation.
Then this is the most important point to bring out. The Lord will cut off both the righteous (The 144,000 which have already left, and the Multitude) and the wicked. (Serpents and Scorpions) Both will be cut off from Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel. When this occurs, Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel will be empty. This is Spiritual Israel being made desolate. There are many verses speaking about the desolation of Israel. Look them up by doing a search for the words desolation, desolate, and desolated.
Judgment begins at the house of God. The house of God is spiritual Israel. The Christians are the spiritual Jews.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
There are two verses located within the letters to the seven churches that could be a bit puzzling if you didn’t know what the Lord is showing us.
Revelation 2:9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie; indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
If a Spiritual Jew is a Christian, then these verses start to make sense. Those that say they are Jews (Christians) and are not, are Christians that say they are Christians but are not doing or saying the things that are righteous or good. The synagogue of Satan can only be one thing during this time. The synagogue of Satan is the Serpents and the Scorpions.
They say they are Christians (Jews) and are not. Remember, the Serpents and the Scorpions are 2/3rds of the church. They go to church every Sunday. They read their Bibles, They profess that they are Christians, but are not.
The Serpents and the Scorpions will do what they are going to do thinking the entire time that while they are imprisoning and killing the Multitude, they are doing this in the name of God.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
As the Scorpions betray the Multitude they will think that they are doing the right thing. When the Serpents are killing the Multitude, they will think that they are also doing the right thing. These are what is spoken about in those two verses in Revelation. They are of the synagogue of Satan and say they are Christians (Jews) and are not.
Understanding these principles, let’s now look at the verses and definitions within the Bible that speak about the Remnant of Israel.
Below is a list of definitions of words that are found in the following verses. The words ‘remnant, residue, and ‘portion of’ are all speaking about ‘The Remnant of Israel.’ The verse can be referencing both the 144,000 and the Multitude together as a unit, or may be speaking about each one individually. The context of the verse and surrounding passages give us the clarification of who is being spoken about.
If you care to do further study, look up each verse and look at the passage or chapter that is surrounding the verse. You will find that all of the verses are in passages or chapters that are full of tribulation language. For out of the tribulation comes forth a remnant.
The definitions for escape or a variation thereof are all speaking specifically about the 144,000. The 144,000 have escaped the wrath of the Lord against the Multitude. It doesn’t make us any better than the Multitude as we are both ‘The Remnant of Israel.’
The only difference is that the Lord needed 144,000 to fulfill scripture. All of the 144,000 were in at least one of the transgressions if not all. The Lord slowly over the course of time pulled each one of us out of the lies and deception so we could stand in the truth and for the truth in these latter days.
Each one of the definitions below will direct you to the verse that uses that definition. Each verse gives you the corresponding definition as a cross reference.
There are multiple definitions used throughout the verses, some are general, some are specific. Some are used multiple times. Remnant and residue are interchanged frequently.

(07604), (06413)

Jeremiah 44:27, 28 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt (Multitude) shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them. (Multitude) Yet a small number that escape the sword (144,000) shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, (Multitude) that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs (06412), (07611)

Jeremiah 51:17-19 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. (Worshipping of other gods) They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob (144,000) is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. (02506)

(07611)
Ezekiel 6:8 Yet will I leave a remnant, (144,000 and Multitude) that ye may have some that shall escape the sword (144,000) among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries. (Multitude) (03498), (06412)
Ezekiel 7:16 But they that escape of them shall escape, (144,000) and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, (Multitude) all of them mourning, every one for his iniquity. (Multitude) (06403), (06412)
A bit of clarification needs to be addressed on the verse above. Clearly, the 144,000 have escaped the wrath of the Lord upon the church. They are on the mountains, (Woman in the Wilderness, Mount Sion) however, the verse tends to tell you that the 144,000 will be mourning for their iniquity like the Multitude (Doves of the Valley). The 144,000 have no iniquity for they have no guile. What is this verse telling us?
The 144,000 are part of ‘The Remnant of Israel’. The Multitude is part of ‘Remnant of Israel’. What this verse is telling us is the 144,000, ‘The Remnant of Israel shall be on the mountains like the Multitude, as ‘The Remnant of Israel’. We are both equal because we are both ‘The Remnant of Israel.’
Ezekiel 9:8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel (144,000 and Multitude) in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem? (07611)

(06413)
Ezekiel 23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant (Multitude) shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue (Multitude) shall be devoured by the fire. (0319), (0319)
Ezekiel 24:27 In that day shall thy (Multitude's) mouth be opened to him which is escaped, (144,000) and thou (Multitude) shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou (Multitude) shalt be a sign unto them; (144,000) and they (Multitude) shall know that I am the LORD. (06412)
Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue (Multitude) with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. (07606)
Daniel 7:19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue (Multitude) with his feet; (07606)
Joel 2:32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant (Multitude) whom the LORD shall call. (08300)

(Multitude) (07611)

Micah 5:3 Therefore will he give them up, (Multitude) until the time that she which travaileth (144,000) hath brought forth: (Multitude) then the remnant (Multitude) of his brethren (144,000) shall return unto the children of Israel. (03499)
Micah 5:7, 8 And the remnant of Jacob (144,000) shall be in the midst of many people (Multitude) as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men. And the remnant of Jacob (144,000) shall be among the Gentiles (Serpents and Scorpions) in the midst of many people (Multitude) as a lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep: (Multitude) who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in pieces, and none can deliver. (07611), (07611)

(Serpents) (07611), (03499)
Zephaniah 3:13 The remnant of Israel (144,000) shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down, and none shall make them afraid. (07611)
There is a corresponding verse that says virtually the same thing about the 144,000 in Revelation.
Revelation 14:4, 5 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (144,000) These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. (144,000) These were redeemed from among men, (144,000) being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb. (144,000) And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God. (144,000)
Zechariah 8:6 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people (144,000 and Multitude) in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. (07611)
Zechariah 8:11,12 But now I will not be unto the residue of this people (144,000 and Multitude) as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people (144,000 and Multitude) to possess all these things. (07611), (07611)
Zechariah 14:1-3 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. (Scorpions) For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, (Scorpions) and the women ravished; (Serpents) and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, (Scorpions) and the residue of the people (Multitude) shall not be cut off from the city. Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, (Serpents and Scorpions) as when he fought in the day of battle. (03499)
Luke 21:36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, (144,000) and to stand before the Son of man. (1628)
Ro 9:27 Esaias also crieth concerning Israel, Though the number of the children of Israel be as the sand of the sea, (All those that have professed they follow the Lord since the beginning of time; the good, the bad, and the ugly. The goats and the sheep) a remnant shall be saved: (144,000 and Multitude) (2640)
Ro 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant (144,000 and Multitude) according to the election of grace. (3007)
Revelation 12:17 And the dragon (Satan) was wroth with the woman, (144,000) and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, (Multitude) which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Multitude) (3062)
The verses above do tell a story. They tell us that the Lord will save a remnant, namely the 144,000 and the Multitude. The 144,000 have been designated to lead and teach the Multitude. The Multitude went back to Egypt to worship other gods and has put themselves under the judgment of God for their actions.
But the Lord is true to His word and will pull them out of Egypt. They will pass through the Red Sea (Tribulation) to enter the Promised Land. The Serpents and the Scorpions are the instruments of the Multitudes’ destruction and they will then be dealt with. Judgement begins at the house of God but it doesn’t end there.
The Lord will save a remnant, just like He promised. They shall be called ‘The Remnant of Israel.”
The Remnant of Israel is comprised of both the 144,000 and the Multitude. They are the only ones that are or will be saved. The Lord will truly save a remnant. Let’ establish who is a spiritual Jew. Paul makes it very clear.
Ro 2:28, 29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Paul tells us that he is not a Jew who is a Jew in the flesh, but he is a Jew which is one inwardly, in the spirit. The physical Jews are not spiritual Jews. The Christians are spiritual Jews. The Christians are the ones that have circumcision of the heart and are born in the spirit.
The church contains the spiritual Jews. They are spiritual Israel that is spoken about so much in scripture. Once we have that understanding, we can begin to understand that all of the prophetic scriptures are speaking about the church, the spiritual Jews, and spiritual Israel.
The next understanding of spiritual Israel and the spiritual Jew is we now need to apply the division of the church, or the division of spiritual Israel. The 144,000 have come out of spiritual Israel, Jerusalem, Judah, Babylon, etc. The rest of spiritual Israel, Jerusalem, Judah, Babylon, etc. is divided into thirds.
The division into Serpents, Scorpions, and Multitude helps us to understand what is happening with the total destruction of spiritual Israel. Only the 144,000 and the Multitude are the Remnant of Israel. The Serpents and the Scorpions are not and will go to the Lake of Fire.
Ezekiel 21:1-3 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel, And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.
From the verse above we can see the Lord is giving warning to Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel. These would all be referring to Spiritual Israel in the latter days. The sword that the Lord pulls out of His sheath is the Tribulation.
Then this is the most important point to bring out. The Lord will cut off both the righteous (The 144,000 which have already left, and the Multitude) and the wicked. (Serpents and Scorpions) Both will be cut off from Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel. When this occurs, Jerusalem, the holy places, and Israel will be empty. This is Spiritual Israel being made desolate. There are many verses speaking about the desolation of Israel. Look them up by doing a search for the words desolation, desolate, and desolated.
Judgment begins at the house of God. The house of God is spiritual Israel. The Christians are the spiritual Jews.
1Peter 4:17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
There are two verses located within the letters to the seven churches that could be a bit puzzling if you didn’t know what the Lord is showing us.
Revelation 2:9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie; indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
If a Spiritual Jew is a Christian, then these verses start to make sense. Those that say they are Jews (Christians) and are not, are Christians that say they are Christians but are not doing or saying the things that are righteous or good. The synagogue of Satan can only be one thing during this time. The synagogue of Satan is the Serpents and the Scorpions.
They say they are Christians (Jews) and are not. Remember, the Serpents and the Scorpions are 2/3rds of the church. They go to church every Sunday. They read their Bibles, They profess that they are Christians, but are not.
The Serpents and the Scorpions will do what they are going to do thinking the entire time that while they are imprisoning and killing the Multitude, they are doing this in the name of God.
John 16:2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
As the Scorpions betray the Multitude they will think that they are doing the right thing. When the Serpents are killing the Multitude, they will think that they are also doing the right thing. These are what is spoken about in those two verses in Revelation. They are of the synagogue of Satan and say they are Christians (Jews) and are not.
Understanding these principles, let’s now look at the verses and definitions within the Bible that speak about the Remnant of Israel.
Below is a list of definitions of words that are found in the following verses. The words ‘remnant, residue, and ‘portion of’ are all speaking about ‘The Remnant of Israel.’ The verse can be referencing both the 144,000 and the Multitude together as a unit, or may be speaking about each one individually. The context of the verse and surrounding passages give us the clarification of who is being spoken about.
If you care to do further study, look up each verse and look at the passage or chapter that is surrounding the verse. You will find that all of the verses are in passages or chapters that are full of tribulation language. For out of the tribulation comes forth a remnant.
The definitions for escape or a variation thereof are all speaking specifically about the 144,000. The 144,000 have escaped the wrath of the Lord against the Multitude. It doesn’t make us any better than the Multitude as we are both ‘The Remnant of Israel.’
The only difference is that the Lord needed 144,000 to fulfill scripture. All of the 144,000 were in at least one of the transgressions if not all. The Lord slowly over the course of time pulled each one of us out of the lies and deception so we could stand in the truth and for the truth in these latter days.
Each one of the definitions below will direct you to the verse that uses that definition. Each verse gives you the corresponding definition as a cross reference.
There are multiple definitions used throughout the verses, some are general, some are specific. Some are used multiple times. Remnant and residue are interchanged frequently.

(Multitude) Yet a small number that escape the sword (144,000) shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, (Multitude) that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs (06412), (07611)
Jeremiah 50:28 The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, (144,000) to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. (06405)
Jeremiah 51:17-19 Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them. (Worshipping of other gods) They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob (144,000) is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name. (02506)

A bit of clarification needs to be addressed on the verse above. Clearly, the 144,000 have escaped the wrath of the Lord upon the church. They are on the mountains, (Woman in the Wilderness, Mount Sion) however, the verse tends to tell you that the 144,000 will be mourning for their iniquity like the Multitude (Doves of the Valley). The 144,000 have no iniquity for they have no guile. What is this verse telling us?
The 144,000 are part of ‘The Remnant of Israel’. The Multitude is part of ‘Remnant of Israel’. What this verse is telling us is the 144,000, ‘The Remnant of Israel shall be on the mountains like the Multitude, as ‘The Remnant of Israel’. We are both equal because we are both ‘The Remnant of Israel.’

(06413)
Ezekiel 23:25 And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant (Multitude) shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue (Multitude) shall be devoured by the fire. (0319), (0319)
Ezekiel 24:27 In that day shall thy (Multitude's) mouth be opened to him which is escaped, (144,000) and thou (Multitude) shalt speak, and be no more dumb: and thou (Multitude) shalt be a sign unto them; (144,000) and they (Multitude) shall know that I am the LORD. (06412)
Daniel 7:7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue (Multitude) with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

There is a corresponding verse that says virtually the same thing about the 144,000 in Revelation.
Revelation 14:4, 5 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. (144,000) These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. (144,000) These were redeemed from among men, (144,000) being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.

(07611), (07611)

The verses above do tell a story. They tell us that the Lord will save a remnant, namely the 144,000 and the Multitude. The 144,000 have been designated to lead and teach the Multitude. The Multitude went back to Egypt to worship other gods and has put themselves under the judgment of God for their actions.
But the Lord is true to His word and will pull them out of Egypt. They will pass through the Red Sea (Tribulation) to enter the Promised Land. The Serpents and the Scorpions are the instruments of the Multitudes’ destruction and they will then be dealt with. Judgement begins at the house of God but it doesn’t end there.
The Lord will save a remnant, just like He promised. They shall be called ‘The Remnant of Israel.”
