“And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.”
It is just as Isaiah said before: 'Unless the Lord Almighty had left us descendants, we would have become like Sodom, we would have been like Gomorrah.' — Isaiah 1:9 is cited: had God not left a σπέρμα (sperma, "seed"), Israel would face Sodom's/Gomorrah's annihilation. The remnant preserved is God's act, not Israel's achievement. Election preserves a historical trace.
