"There are 2 types of people found in the pages of scripture and in the world: the "mass-man" and the "remnant". Each have different attituds and goals. The direction of the mass movement is always predictable, but hte direction of the individual is not. At the sme time, the directon of the masses is not necessarily the direction of the indificual. Hensce, the role of the "remnant" that can be found throughout scripture. The remnant cand, and usually does, function independent of the masses. They are capable of acting rathere than being acted upon by popular opinion, directio and thorught. Theses are the believers who are seeking for the best in life and in their character, seeing beyond the limited vidion and judgment of the masses. The other individual minset is one of safety in numbers - a collective group called the "masses". This collective group is controlled by the movement of the Mass-man, caught like mindless driftwood in the cultural current and flood o. . . he worf vogue styles and fashilon. . . . The world is never changed by the masses, but the environment in which the masses live is often created by the remnant. The Remnant are the ones who formulate and accomplish the greatest changes that will affect humanity for the longest amount of time. The news media. on the otehr hand, likes to focus on the movement o f the mass-man, as though this group of followers makes the changes that effect mankind. The remnent is almost invisible among the masses it is not known necessarily who they are, where they are or how many there are or what they will do. Therefore, the prophetic message must be deliverd to the masses, knowing only two things about the remnant: First, that they exist and Second that they will find and listen to the message.
