While I don’t believe that there is any Biblical basis for the list in your summation

Wow. Perhaps you should actually try reading it then. Better yet, get a bible and compare.

Thank you for posting this information. I believe it’s a sound and well thought out analysis of Scripture.

Like many, I too have meditated on the possibility of a “Latter Rain” in the end days. While I don’t believe that there is any Biblical basis for the list in your summation, I can’t help but wonder if the Church of the last days will experience the same type of revival that the primitive Church experienced. I think that for us to be as close to God as they were, we would have to be under a similar type of persecution. Historically, the Church as always been at its best while under fire.

I stumble accross your artical while studying the phrase “latter rain” at that time I didn’t even know that there was a movement called LR. I was trying to put together the a sermon with the exspectation of the latter rain when all seems hopeless that we can count on Jesus to send us a latter rain.

Comment on Miracles were not Common Place in the Bible — They were Rare! by DJ

Brothers,

Have you not considered Paul’s writing to the church in Corinth????

He told them to EAGERLY DESIRE SPIRITUAL GIFTS in 1 Corinthians 14:1

In 1 Corinthians 12, he describes those spiritual gifts in detail!! See below:
4There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit. 5There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6There are different kinds of working, but the same God works all of them in all men. 7Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues,[a] and to still another the interpretation of tongues.[b] 11All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he gives them to each one, just as he determines.

It says to EACH ONE the Spirit gives these supernatural gifts…

Thoughts??

Good point on miracles. Some thoughts besides the rarity would be the purpose for the miracles, it was always for the glory of God, even the miracle of Paul’s site or Peter’s raising of Tabitha, all was for God’s glory not mans. The healers in the NT never asked for a donation nor convinced others they could have some power by participating. This contradicts our modern society which seems to think miracles are everywhere daily and that God has given us all the task to make them happen so we feel better about ourselves and give ourselves some glory. Oh if they would read the story of the Simon Sorcer in Acts 8, we would certainly start to know that we shouldn’t desire to be healers in the first place.

This is a beautiful rendition of the psalm. I had heard it before, actually about 15 or more years ago. But this is more lovely. I love this version

Anthony,
Thanks for stopping by.

The passage Peter quoted was Joel 2:28-32. If Peter was inspired by the Holy Spirit, and he was, then notice the obvious lack of the phrase “Latter Rain.” I remain confident in my analysis of verse 23. Why?

Simply because I was looking at the specific use of the phrase “Latter Rain.” I encourage you to look back at the entirety of my post to see how I do not see how a bad “system” of theology should be misusing this phrase.

Thanks for this analysis. I’ve never heard of this “latter rain” theory before this week.

Regarding Joel 2:23 being scriptural basis for LR theology or not, you say this passage says nothing to the establishing of a church.

But doesn’t Peter quote around this part of Joel at Pentecost?
