The general definition of remnant is a piece remaining after the rest has been used or sold. Biblically, it is a continuous portion of ethnic Israel that has been preserved and redeemed:

"I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, because I have mercy on them. They shall be as though I had not cast them aside; For, I am the LORD their God, And I will hear them." - Zechariah 10:6

I have had the great honor of being received into their confidence by a society that has been closed to outsiders. I have sat with their Elders and heard their history, which has been passed down to them only by word of mouth. Elders of the Maasai have told their people for nearly a 100 generations, “We crossed a great sea with a man named Moses.”

“So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea…” - Exodus 14:22

Their history of crossing the Red Sea, as mighty warriors and devoted cattlemen, was consistent with tribal linkage to the Manassseh. I had seen many ties of the culture to Laws of Moses such as drink offerings, no graven images, and not eating pork. As leaders emerge among the Christian Maasai, they tell me of their receiving a revelation of God speaking to them about their relationship with Israel.
