Please consider this exerpt from the writings of George Warnock and realize the 4th blood moon of the tetrad tomorrow is a very significant sign from the Lord. I am convinced it is pointing us to the latter rain outpouring and the ingathering.
Joel’s prophecy, therefore, speaks of Pentecost–but it goes on to embrace the fullness of Pentecost, even the Feast of Tabernacles. God did give the former rain moderately–in the Pentecostal Age extending from the early Church until now. But here is something very unusual. Right here in the “first month” of the Agricultural Year (the seventh month of the Sacred year) God has promised to do something most unusual; for He would give, not only the former rain which belongs to that month, but He would give the former rain and the latter rain combined!
Can we not see from this what God has promised His people in this great hour? Not only the fullness of a great and glorious harvest, as in Pentecost. And not only the wonderful harvest of Tabernacles, the Feast of Ingathering. But all the glory and power of the early Church combined with all the glory and power which rightfully belongs to the triumphant Church of the last days! All her former glory combined with all her latter glory! Truly we cannot begin to imagine the great and tremendous things which God hath prepared for them that love Him! “And he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain, in the first month,”–Or, “in the beginning of the season.” It is the promise, not only of the early and latter rain in the hour of the Feast of Tabernacles (the “first month” of the Civil Year, but the seventh of the Sacred Year)–but it is also a promise of the great day of harvest. “And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil” (Joel 2:24). The normal procedure is: the early and the latter rain, then the harvest which culminates at Pentecost, then the long summer months of dry weather, and then the final ingathering at the year’s end. And that indeed is the way it has happened dispensationally in the Church: the former rain at Pentecost, but only moderately– producing only a moderate harvest, and followed by a great period of drought for century upon century. Now the Lord will do a quick work in the earth. This is the focal hour of Church history. Now we shall have not only the great and mighty harvest of the seventh month, the Feast of Ingathering, but the former and the latter rain combined! A veritable deluge of rain from the gates of Heaven! No wonder the prophet prophesied, “The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former…”
