Remnant Faithfulness Study
Five Reflection Prompts, Not a Church-Identification Test
"And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."
-- Revelation 12:17
Revelation 12:17 describes the faithful remainder of the woman's offspring through obedience to God and the testimony of Jesus. It names no modern denomination. These five prompts explore that description and related passages; they cannot identify the remnant by a response count.
Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant, and Adventist interpreters disagree about the covenantal scope of the commandments, the meaning of the testimony of Jesus, and the historical setting of the visions. Those disagreements cannot be resolved by a response count.
Consider a community you know or are studying. Choose Not sure / needs study when you lack an answer or do not belong to a church. That response is recorded separately from No. Answers are saved on this device when storage is available.

Your responses
"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32, KJV)
Jesus addresses disciples who continue in his word and speaks of freedom from sin through the Son. This promise is not a verdict on these responses. Read John 8:31-36.
Why This Matters
Revelation's remnant is a faithful remainder that remains loyal to God and Jesus under pressure.
The first two prompts address language in Revelation's description. The other three explore related passages about resurrection, Babylon and gospel witness. They are not five biblical membership tests for the remnant.
Each passage belongs in its literary and theological context alongside the strongest alternative interpretation. Faithfulness cannot be reduced to a denominational quiz.
