Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
The Latter Rain spoken of in the above passage has to do with the final outpouring of The Holy Spirit on the earth, just before the second coming of Christ. Copious amounts of grace will be bestowed upon all of earth’s inhabitants so that every living person can make an informed choice, either for or against God. Thus, the Latter Rain will be poured out upon the righteous and the unrighteous to bring the harvests of earth’s multitudes to maturity, which will cause a sealing of one’s destiny through the choices that are made.
The living righteous will be permanently sealed into righteousness, and the wicked would be brought to maturity in wickedness by the choices and decisions that are made. Three segments of the study today will deal with the following: [1] Situational awareness [2] The maturing of earth’s harvests. [3] Our personal preparation for the Latter Rain.
However, before we delve into the study, there is important information that we must observe as it will pertain to the time of the latter rain, because it will be seen that many of the recorded events which took place at Pentecost, will be repeated when the latter rain is poured out.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. 10 Is there anything whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
