Yet gleanings will be left in it like the shaking of an olive tree,The chapter is about the destruction of both Israel, and one of its enemies. However, God in this verse gives a glimmer of hope to the people. They will not all be destroyed, some will survive.
Two or three olives on the topmost bough,
Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree,
Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
God always leaves hope, even when we don't see it. It doesn't mean that we will be the ones to survive tragedy, but that tragedy will never wipe out everyone. Even when the end times come, some will be left, who are faithful to God and testify to Him..
