Matthew 28:19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.
The great commission given us is to teach, baptize, and continue teaching. Therefore, during the time of the latter rain, the truth will be condensed into a miniature, concise, and precise form, so as to be easily digested by one and all. Therefore, what is to be taught up front at the time of the latter rain are the condensed essentials, to let people know what is required for baptism and then, once they understand that they are saved by grace through faith in Christ, and that the commandments of God are to be kept, including the 4th, they can be baptized, if they accept.
Pay close attention to the next passages for they are written in a strategic order, so as to inform the latter rain mindset, as well as all our general efforts at soul winning. Note well how the verses are written, for verse 19 instructs us to teach, and then baptize, but verse 20 tells us to teach them to “observe all things”, after they have been baptized. The reason why the verses are structured that way is because if we are to wait until persons are taught to observe “All things” they may never be baptized, because it could end up taking too long.
The revelation of truth is an ongoing process, and we are always in a learning curve, as God opens up to the mind, things that were previously fuzzy, and because of this, the teaching of “All things” is really an ongoing process, that will never end. Thus, we must identify from the word of God, what are the essentials that should be taught up front, as we prepare persons for baptism, under the auspices of the Holy Ghost’s latter rain.
Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
