What Is God’s Remnant?
A Simple Biblical Overview
In many prophetic and end-time conversations, one word keeps surfacing:
remnant. Some feel drawn to it without fully knowing why.
Others sense that God is separating, refining, and preparing a people for
days of shaking and restoration — but they do not have language for
what they are experiencing.
This page is meant to give a clear, non-sensational, biblical explanation
of what we mean by “God’s remnant,” or “the remnant,” and why Fields of Zion exists
to serve them.
1. God’s Remnant in Scripture
Throughout the Bible, God always preserves a remnant —
a people who remain faithful to Him when many turn aside.
- In Elijah’s day, God kept a remnant who had not bowed to Baal
(1 Kings 19:18;
Romans 11:4–5). - In the prophets, the remnant is described as those who survive judgment
and are purified, not destroyed by it
(Isaiah 10:20–22;
Micah 2:12). - In Revelation, the dragon makes war with “the rest of her offspring,
who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ”
(Revelation 12:17).
The remnant is not an elite class of “super-Christians.” They are
simply those who:
- Cling to Jesus when many compromise.
- Love truth more than comfort.
- Allow God to refine them instead of resisting
His dealings.
2. God’s Remnant Is a People, Not a Club
God’s remnant cannot be joined by membership form, website sign-up, or
association with a particular ministry.
The remnant is:
- a heart condition before it is a location,
- a response more than a label,
- a people God knows by name, scattered across nations,
streams, and denominations.
Fields of Zion does not decide who is or is not part of
the remnant. That is the Lord’s territory alone
(2 Timothy 2:19).
What we can say is this: if you feel a deep ache for holiness, truth,
authenticity, and kingdom reality — even when it costs you — you may already
be experiencing the remnant call.
3. How God Prepares the Remnant
God’s remnant is often prepared in ways that do not look impressive from the
outside. Common patterns in Scripture and in real life include:
- Hidden seasons — long stretches where God works
more in your character than in your public influence
(Luke 2:51–52). - Wilderness journeys — times of testing, stripping,
and rearranging priorities
(Deuteronomy 8:2). - Separations — not superiority, but being pulled out
of certain systems and compromises so you can hear clearly
(2 Corinthians 6:17–18). - Refining fires — difficult circumstances that
expose what is weak and strengthen what is of God
(1 Peter 1:6–7).
None of this is punishment. It is preparation. The remnant is forged, not marketed.
4. God’s Remnant and Community
Although the Lord often prepares remnant believers in solitude,
His goal is not permanent isolation.
God’s desire is to form communities where:
- faith is lived, not only preached,
- needs are shared and met,
- gifts are recognized and released,
- work, worship, and relationships are integrated, and
- people are strengthened to be sent, not hidden.
This is where Fields of Zion comes in. We believe the Lord
is raising up land-based, farm-centered communities — places of
refuge and training — where remnant believers can:
- be healed and grounded,
- learn practical skills,
- practice covenant relationships, and
- be equipped for whatever their assignment is in the wider harvest.
FOZI is one such pattern for these kinds of communities. You can read more
on the FOZI Blueprint page.
5. What God’s Remnant Is Not
For the sake of clarity and safety, it is important to say what the remnant
is not:
- Not a superior class. God resists pride in any form
(James 4:6). - Not a secret society. The remnant is called to walk
in the light
(1 John 1:7). - Not an excuse to abandon the Body. The remnant is meant
to serve, not despise, fellow believers. - Not a retreat into fear. The remnant prepares, but in
faith, not panic
(2 Timothy 1:7).
Any mindset that breeds arrogance, isolation, control, or superiority is
moving away from the heart of the true remnant.
6. Why Fields of Zion Cares About God’s Remnant
Fields of Zion exists because we believe:
- God is preparing a people for days of shaking and harvest.
- Those people will need places — real land, real
fellowship, real rhythms of life — where they can grow strong. - The pattern for these places should be biblical, humble, reproducible,
and practical.
FOZI’s role is not to define the remnant, but to
serve them by:
- offering a blueprint for resilient, farm-based communities,
- sharing lessons learned from years of walking this out,
- helping leaders think through land, livelihoods, and community life in a
kingdom way, and - pointing everything back to Jesus Christ as the center.
We consider it a privilege to steward what we have been shown for the sake
of those God is preparing.
7. Recognizing the Remnant Call in Your Own Life
Some common signs that the Lord may be drawing you into this remnant work:
- You feel increasingly unable to fit into religious routines that lack
life, even if you still love the people in them. - You sense an urgency to simplify, get grounded, and live closer to the
land or to real community. - You feel a burden for preparation — not just
storing things, but building structures of support, discipleship, and
refuge. - You are willing to be misunderstood if it means obeying what God is
showing you. - You long for a community that lives the Sermon on the Mount, not just
studies it.
If these themes resonate deeply, you are not alone. Many around the world
are hearing similar things — often in very different contexts, but
with the same heartbeat.
8. Next Steps
If the language of the remnant is stirring something in you, here are a few
gentle next steps:
- Bring it to the Lord first. Ask Him to confirm what, if
anything, applies to you personally. - Read our History of Fields of Zion and
FOZI Blueprint pages to see how this remnant
call has taken form on the ground. - Consider your land and your community. Is God stirring anything about
place — where you live, where you work, or where you might be sent? - Stay low and stay teachable. The remnant path is narrow, but it is full
of grace for those who keep their eyes on Jesus.
