The Israelite prophets. These were extremely learned and pious individuals, men and women, who were merited with visions from God. They had to be humble, yet speak with authority. They had to love their people, yet not hesitate to rebuke them if commanded to by God.
The prophets were called upon by God to guide the people and to guide the king. While the king had authority in national matters of state, and the Sanhedrin (Sages) had say in Torah-rulings, the prophets spoke in matters of ethics, belief, and loyalty to God. They rebuked the people at God's command, they predicted events which God revealed to them, they taught through Divine inspiration, and they gave hope with the prophecies of Redemption.
Some of the prophetical chapters detail Israelite history, some exhort the people to improve themselves, some predict events or warn (especially concerning the First Destruction), some serve to comfort the nation, some speak of love of God, and some speak of life, experience and wisdom.

Jews
According to Judaism, those Jews who believe in God and do his Mitzvot or Commandments are those who are faithful and will have a share in the World to Come.However, Jews typically do not speak of a faithful remnant; this tends to be a Christian designation for ethnic Israelites/Jews who believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. Under this rubric, Messianic Jews* who convert to Messianic Judaism from Traditional Rabbinic Judaism or are their descendants are the "faithful remnant". Such a concept of a "faithful remnant of Judaism" is alluded to in Romans 9:27. Jews would not argue that people who believe in Jesus Christ as the Messiah are faithful Jews, but rather that they have abandoned their faith for Christianity.*See this Related Question which discusses how Messianic Judaism is a form of Protestant Christianity.
