These passages have a strong eschatological thrust, expecting future generations to be the remnant. In that future, there would be a new people, a new community, a new nation and have a strong faith in God.<\/p>\n<p>Amos, Hosea, Micah and Isaiah thus raised a chorus. Only a few would survive judgment events, basically because they repented and rested their future on the compassion of their Lord.
