Paradox #1
The possible contradiction or inconsistency could be related to the idea of the "remnant" — the concept that only a fraction of a larger group (such as Israel) will return or be saved. This might seem to conflict with other biblical themes of universal salvation or the promise to save all of Israel. Some interpretations stress God's mercy and eventual salvation for all, while others focus on judgment and a selective remnant, leading to differing understandings of who is ultimately saved.
