Latter Rain
God's truth will give you peace of mind.
If you know God's Plan, you don't need to worry what's going to happen.
The Lord
uses things of nature that we are familiar with, so we may understand His word.
He is good to them that take's the time to study His word. He has given us the
Bible and it's up to us to study His Word.
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return
unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath
smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive
us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his
sight.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and
he
shall
come unto us as the rain,
as the
latter and former rain unto the earth.
Deuteronomy 32:1 Give ear, O ye heavens, and
I
will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as
the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and
as the
showers upon the grass.
- My doctrine, My teaching as rain.
- He is saying let the early and latter rain grow, which is My
words
- Study My words - not men words
- Study and you will grow in God's word
- Grass = flesh
1 Kings 17:1 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of
Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the LORD God of Israel liveth, before whom I
stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my
word.
-
Elijah = My God (El) is God
-
Elijah, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead
-
Tishbite means Sojourners
Jeremiah 5:23 But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted
and gone.
24 Neither say they in their heart, Let us now fear the Lord our God, that
giveth rain, both the former and the latter, in his season: he reserveth unto us
the appointed weeks of the harvest.
25 Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have with holden
good things from you.
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they lay wait, as he that setteth
snares; they set a trap, they catch men.
27 As a cage is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: therefore
they are become great, and waxen rich.
-
Their houses full of deceit = their church
28 They are waxen fat, they shine: yea, they overpass the deeds of the wicked:
they judge not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, yet they prosper; and the
right of the needy do they not judge.
29 Shall I not visit for these things? saith the Lord: shall not my soul be
avenged on such a nation as this?
30 A wonderful and horrible thing is committed in the land;
31 The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and
my people love to have it so: and what will ye do in the end thereof?
-
The priests bear rule by their means =
By false teaching
Luke 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many widows
were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the
heaven was shut up three years and six
months, when great famine
was
throughout all the land;
26 But unto none of them was Elijah sent, save
unto Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that
was a widow.
James 5:17 Elijah was a man subject to like
passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that
it might not rain: and it rained not on the
earth by the space of three years and
six months.
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Revelation 11:2 = Forty two months = 3 1/2 years, Revelation 9
God shortened time to 5 months
3 And I will give power unto my two
witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and
threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
-
My two witnesses, They shall
prophesy what? The word of God
-
The forty and two months is the
same as three and one half years
-
Forty two months = 3 1/2 years, Revelation 9
God shortened the time to 5 months
-
God's prophesy in days = The solar calendar has about ten
more days in a year, most people believe the two witnesses will come
about 5-30 days before Satan tribulation.
Matthew 25:10 And while they went to buy, the
bridegroom came; and
they that were ready went in with him to
the marriage: and the door was shut.
There come a time when it will be too late to
study God's word (Revelation 7 The four
winds)
11 Afterward came
also the other virgins, saying,
Lord, Lord, open to us.
12 But he answered and said, Verily I
say unto you, I know you not.
God told the people He would give them rain If
they done things His ways
Lev 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and
keep my commandments, and do them;
4 Then
I will give you rain in due
season, and the
land shall yield her
increase, and the
trees of the field shall yield
their fruit.
I ask anyone, do you want to follow the ways of the world or
God's ways?
Go back up and read Matthew 25:10-12
These years (not three years). No definite
period stated. "Years" is plural, not dual.
In Luke 4:25 and James 5:17 = "three years and
six months".
Rain = represents the word of God
Proverbs 16:15 In the light of the king's
countenance is life; and his favour is as a
cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom
than gold! and to
get
understanding rather to be
chosen than
silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from
evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his
soul.
1 Peter 1:24 For all flesh is
as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass.
The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:

If you follow God's ways, you will live
Deuteronomy 11:1 Therefore thou shalt love the Lord thy God, and keep his
charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, always.
2 And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children which have not known,
and which have not seen the chastisement of the Lord your God, his greatness,
his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,
3 And his miracles, and his acts, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto
Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;
4 And what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their
chariots; how he made the water of the Red sea to overflow them as they pursued
after you, and how the Lord hath destroyed them unto this day;
5 And what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came into this place;
6 And what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben:
how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and
their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, in the midst of
all Israel:
7 But your eyes have seen all the great acts of the Lord which he did.
8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day,
that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go to possess
it;
9 And that ye may prolong your days in the land, which the Lord sware unto your
fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land that floweth with milk and
honey.
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of
Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it
with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys,
and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12 A land which the Lord thy God careth for: the eyes of the Lord thy God are
always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my
commandments which I command you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to
serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain
and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and
thine oil.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and
be full.
16 Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn aside,
and serve other gods, and worship them;
2 Samuel 23:3 The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake to me, He
that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.
4 And he shall be
as the light of the morning, when the sun riseth, even a morning without clouds;
as the tender grass springing out of the earth by clear shining
after rain.

cry? All flesh is grass,

midst of many people as a
dew from the LORD,
as the showers upon the grass
(flesh), that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men.
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of
our God shall stand for ever.
2 Kings 19:26 Therefore their inhabitants were of small
power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were
as the grass of the field,
and as the green herb, as the
grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be
grown up.
Psalm 129:6 Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which
withereth afore it groweth up:
Mark 13:15 And let him that
is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter
therein, to take any thing out of his house:
-
Who on the housetop? The watchmen, If you are a
Christian, You are an watchmen
-
First one taken, they are taken by Satan.
-
Christ
says to wait on the Lord - 10 virgins
-
Luke 17:26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in
the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they
married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah
entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the
days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they
sold, they planted, they builded; 29 But the same day that Lot
went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and
destroyed them all. 30 Even thus
shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. 31
In that day, he which shall be
upon the housetop, and his stuff in the house,
let him not
come down to take it away:
and he that is in the field, let him likewise
not return back. 32
Remember Lot's wife. 33
Whosoever shall seek to save his life
shall lose it; and

shall lose his life shall preserve it. 34 I tell you,

two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the
other shall be left.

Joel 2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and
sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of
the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh
at hand;
-
What is the sound of a
trumpet?
-
It's a warning, the enemy
is coming.
-
Sound
the Alarm, teach God's word
-
What day? The day of the
Lord.
-
One day with the Lord is as 1000
years, which is the
millennium
-
Holy
mountain = Mountain of My Sanctuary
-
Bring
the meat = The word = teach the word
-
Where is the nation Zion
today?
-
It's where His people have migrated all over the world and gathered
together.
-
It's true that this day is nigh even now.
2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a
day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon
the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been
ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the
years of many generations.
-
This
never has happen and this will never happen again
-
Darkness means opposite of the truth =
deception and confusing
-
Revelation 18:23
And the
light of a candle shall
shine no more at all in thee; and the voice of the
bridegroom and of the bride shall be heard no more at
all in thee: for thy merchants were the great men of the
earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations
deceived.
-
Revelation 9: The Appearance of Satan and his locusts army, this Is
the clouds of deceptions.
-
God
letting you know these locusts swarm in huge groups and they are
strong.
-
This is a cloud of
deception
-
Satan doesn't have any trouble finding people to follow him
-
A day =
The End Times
-
Amos
5:18 Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it
for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.
19 As if
a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the
house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20
Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very
dark, and no brightness in it?
-
Morning
= blackness or darkness
-
Down or
morning
-
Joel
1:4: A great people = This refers to the people symbolized by the
locusts, or the Kenites.
Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and
rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former
rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
-
Moderately means, easy to receive, His word
-
Leviticus 26:4 Then I will give you rain in
due season, and the land shall yield her
increase, and the trees of the field shall
yield their fruit.
-
Former rain is the truth, the word of God.
It's like a seed it has to grows in your
mind. You have to study, before it will
grow. It's up to God, if the seed grows.
-
The latter rain, is
the truth in the mind, It's the knowledge of
God's word, The seal of God In Your
Forehead.
-
If you are studying, God's going to give you His word, moderately..
with understanding and wisdom.
-
The word month was added
-
Hosea 6:6 For I desired mercy,
and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God
more than burnt offerings.
-
I want your loving kindness, I want you to study
My word
-

showers upon the grass:
Zechariah 10:1 Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter
rain; so the Lord shall make bright clouds, and give them
showers of rain, to every one grass in the field.
-
You have to ask for help = in studying My
word
-
Latter rain = God's truth = God's Plan = Seal of
God in your fore head
2 For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a
lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore
they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because
there was no shepherd.
-
For the idols = false comfort = false spirit
-
False dreams = the pastors has taken your birth
right from you
-
Don't count on man = ask God for wisdom,
knowledge and understanding
-
If you don't know God's promises, how are you
going to ask for help?
-
Comfort = Holy Spirit
-
John 14:25 These things have I spoken unto you,
being yet present with you.
26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy
Spirit, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and
bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.
-
The Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit
-
Who shall teach you?
James 5:17 Elijah was a man subject to like
passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not

18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit.
Isaiah 40:6 The voice said, Cry. And he
said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the
goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the
spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word
of our God shall stand for ever.
(Deuteronomy
32) The Song of Moses, Revelation 15:2-3 the overcomers
have the seal of God in their forehead, they will be singing this song
when Christ returns!!
Revelation 15:2 And
I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that
had gotten the victory over the beast (Satan), and over
his image, and
over his mark, and over the number of
his name, stand on the sea
of glass, having the harps of God.
3 And they sing the
song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb,
saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.
The word beasts is
figuratively used to symbolize various
kings and nations. It also
describes the character of
violent and brutal men. (Revelation 17)
(Revelation 13) (Daniel 7)
Revelation 17 Tells us first beast = 7th kingdom = Satan seat
will be setup = One Worldism Almost comes in
Revelation 17:8 The beast that
thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that
dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not
written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,
when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
-
The beast that carrieth
her =
2nd beast
= Satan was in the garden, he is not, because he's in
heaven until he is cast to the earth, and yet is
when he ascends out
of the bottomless pit.
-
I saw that great city Babylon which reigneth
over the kings of the earth (verse 18), and over peoples and
multitudes and nations and tongues (verse
15) with whom the kings of the earth have
practiced idolatry, and the inhabitants of
the earth have been made of partake of Her
idolatrous worship.
-
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand
years,
3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and
shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the
nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled:
and after that he must be loosed a little season.
9 And here is the mind which hath wisdom.
The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.
-
1st beast = The world will be divided up into
seven dominions or seven specific geographical areas
-
Your Mind is in your forehead, means to know God's word and plan.
-
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of
the Beast, for it is a man's number (Revelation 13:18) = 666
-
The word renders "mind' and "understanding" is the same as
Revelation 13:18
-
And this "wisdom" is, to understand that though a "beast" is Satan's
great final supernatural personality "a man" energized by Satanic
power.
-
Seven Heads or Seven mountains,
in Greek means seven nations
-
Seven dominations would be better
-
7th kingdom almost brings in One Worldism = they
give the kingdom over to Satan = 8th kingdom
-
Daniel 2:31 Satan's image brings One Worldism, falsehood,
deception, confusion, you're going to see one of the biggest false
revival on earth that every happen, Satan going to pay all your bills, he's going to give
you anything if you worship him.
Revelation 13:1 I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out
of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns,
and upon his heads the names of blasphemy.
-
I stood upon the sand of the
people, and saw a political system
rise up out of the people, with
ten rulers that take hold out of the seven dominations
in the whole world and almost brings in one world
political government, and upon his
heads the names of blasphemy. (Revelation 17)
-
These are the nations that are spoken of
in Daniel
2, they (6th Kingdom) help Satan bring in one Worldism, the ten
kings that rise up out of the people from the
political system.
-
Peace
talks started in 1978 which are leading us to one world government
-
Waters, in the book of Revelation refers to people and nations,
(Revelation
17:15)
- Babylon is confusing; deception
has fallen on the people that have not studied God's word.
-
Crowns, These claim to be pastors, a man of God, but they are false prophets
(Revelation 9)
-
Horn
always symbolized
to power = Ten Kings
-
Blasphemy!
It is their purpose, as we have learned,
to defame God.
(Revelation 13:6)
-
Zechariah 8:23 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to
pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations,
even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will
go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
- It became very clear to
us that the ten heads are ten rulers that will take hold the seven
dominions.
Hosea 6:1 Come, and let us return
unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath
smitten, and he will bind us up.
2 After two days will he revive
us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his
sight.
3 Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD:
his going forth is prepared as the morning; and
he
shall
come unto us as the rain,
as the
latter and former rain unto the earth.
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain;
and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Proverbs 16:15 In the light of the king's
countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be chosen than silver!
17 The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth
his way preserveth his soul.
James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the
coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious
fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the
early and latter rain.
8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord
draweth nigh.
Joel 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and
rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain
moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former
rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
