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 any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
[Last Day Events pp 148] Let those who desire to be refreshed in mind and instructed in the truth study the history of the early church during and immediately following the Day of Pentecost. Study carefully in the book of Acts the experiences of Paul and the other apostles, for God's people in our day must pass through similar experiences.
We will begin with situational awareness: The out pouring of the latter rain does not coerce a person’s conscience, nor does it force anyone into choosing either good or evil. It does however enable all to see the truth clearly so that persons can make up their minds permanently, as it pertains to God’s kingdom of light, or satan’s kingdom of darkness.
This is accomplished when The Holy Spirit brings to the forefront of the conscience, present truths that need to be decided upon, and if persons respond in the positive, then they will be booked for heaven. On the contrary, when the truth is brought home to the conscience in a concentrated blaze, when there is no escaping, or reasoning away of the facts in the matter; if a person then chooses to reject Christ and the truths associated with Him, then one’s decision is recorded for eternity, and such folks will receive their dues.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
