Romans 9:27-28 ESV
And Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: “Though the number of the sons of Israel be as the sand of the sea, only a remnant of them will be saved, for the Lord will carry out his sentence upon the earth fully and without delay.”
Revelation 12:17
Then the dragon became furious with the woman and went off to make war on the rest of her offspring, on those who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus. And he stood on the sand of the sea.
The devil will stand on the sand of the sea, the people of Israel. He will overcome them as signified by them being found under his feet.
They are the earth that appeared when they were separated from the sea of man in the creation account, which speaks to the formation of the man into the image of God. That is accomplished through the body of Christ.
A remnant will be saved and the eternal covenant between these people and God will be fulfilled. They will witness to the nations and they will know that He is God.
