The latter rain which revives and strengthens
“Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7
As the members of the body of Christ approach the period of their last conflict, “the time of Jacob’s trouble,” they will grow up into Christ, and will partake largely of His Spirit. As the third message swells to a loud cry, and as great power and glory attend the closing work, the faithful people of God will partake of that glory. It is the latter rain which revives and strengthens them to pass through the time of trouble. Their faces will shine with the glory of that light which attends the third angel. “7 Bible Commentary 984.4
