"the Coming End-Time Revival."

SCRIPTURAL REFERENCES

(Joel 2:28-29) [28] And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: [29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

(Matthew 20:5) [5] "Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise."

(Matthew 20:8) "So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first."

PROLOGUE

I clearly remember the strong response I got from my radio programs when I spoke about the end-time revival. Even though many ministers advised me to read more of the Bible and find the scriptures that say, "Before the coming of the Lord, there will be a great falling away," I stay firm in my belief that there will be an end-time revival before our Lord returns.

As I was growing up, I belonged to an organization that believed the miracles and gifts in the church had ceased with the Apostles. However, at that time, I was unaware of the various ministries of great men that God had used for miraculous healing. I was also unaware of the 1906 revival at Azusa Street in Los Angeles, California, which sparked a worldwide Pentecostal movement.

I recognized that my knowledge of the powerful revivals that shook a nation was pretty limited. Over time, God guided me in understanding the scriptures and led me to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This experience caused my Evangelical Methodist organization to revoke my license and expel me from their organization.

My conviction is based on (Revelation 19:7), which clearly states that the Lord is coming for a church that has made itself ready. This suggests that something significant, such as severe persecution, may have occurred, prompting the church to awaken to the signs of the times and genuinely prepare to meet her Lord.

It is also rooted in (Joel 2:28-29), where the prophet speaks about a time soon on God's calendar when he will pour out his Spirit upon all flesh. He goes on to describe how this outpouring will be a spiritual awakening that will cause our sons and daughters to prophesy, with our young men seeing visions and our old men being visited with dreams.

Some years ago, I found a list of names in the chronology of Adam, which included the following: (1) Adam, (2) Cainan, (3) Mahalaleel, (4) Enoch, (5) Methuselah, (6) Lamech, (7) Noah.

Biblical Meaning: (Adam) = Mortal Man (Cainan) = Bearing Sorrows (Mahalaleel) = The Blessed God (Enoch) = The teacher - Came Down from Heaven Teaching (Methuselah) = His Death Brings (Lamech) = Despairing (Noah) = Rest

Notice how Methuselah, the 5th from Adam, was given a name that predicts the coming flood and the destruction of all living things on earth. The name means that after his death, judgment or the deluge—the flood—will come. He lived to be 969 years old and died before the flood.

Just like the death of Methuselah served as a warning to earlier generations, I believe that the end-time revival will be a period of great spiritual awakening and renewal, where people around the world will turn to God and seek His face.

I preached back then that this coming revival will be preceded by great darkness, during which the world will face unprecedented chaos, wars, and disasters. Still, I believe that God will use these events to draw people closer to Himself and prepare them for His Son's coming.

I am committed to spreading the truth of God's Word to as many people as possible and urging them to prepare for the end-time revival. I believe this revival will bring great joy and celebration as we see God's power and glory revealed.

To understand this better, we need to examine the purification baths the church experienced when she received news that her bridegroom had left his father's house to get her. These baths represented the spiritual cleansing the church had to undergo to become pure and holy, so it would be ready to meet the Lord at His coming.
