Prophetic Promises of a Coming Revival

The predictions of the Lord’s messenger concerning coming events were not all dark. They speak of increase in sin and coming death, but they much oftener and at greater length describe the marvelous gospel work of the days to come. It is the latter rain beginning to fall. Concerning those we can give but a few quotations.FSG 412.1

“There is before the church the dawn of a bright, glorious day.” “The outpouring of the Spirit in the days of the apostles was the ‘former rain,’ and glorious was the result. But the latter rain will be more abundant.”—Testimonies for the Church 8:11, 21.FSG 412.2

“The time is coming when there will be as many converted in a day as there were in the day of Pentecost after the disciples had received the Holy Spirit.”—The Review and Herald, June 29, 1905, page 8.FSG 412.3

These Testimonies have given Adventists an inspiring hope such as no other church has—the hope of a marvelous revival called the loud cry. Of this the messenger of the Lord writes:FSG 412.4

“Servants of God, with their faces lighted up and shining with holy consecration, will hasten from place to place to proclaim the message from heaven. By thousands of voices, all over the earth, the warning will be given. Miracles will be wrought, the sick will be healed, and signs and wonders will follow the believers.”—The Great Controversy, 612.FSG 412.5
