This whole situation at Asbury University has me wondering. Charismatics have been preaching for years that a great end-time revival is coming that will see millions of people turn to Christ and get saved. Since the revival at Asbury University started, people have been freaking out saying things like: This is the revival we've been praying for so long; and, it's going to lead to a worldwide revival!
Now, here's your chance. If you know of any scriptures that clearly teach a great end-time revival, or "harvest," as it's sometimes called, here's your chance to put it out there. Show me the scriptures.
if we search for end times scripture we find things like this
“And
many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life,
and some to shame and everlasting
contempt.
And
they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
But thou, O Daniel,
shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
And I heard
the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for
the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried;
but the wicked shall do wickedly: and
none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.”
Daniel 12:2-4, 7, 9-10 KJV
which makes this make sense
“And he said unto them,
Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
…And
they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen.”
Mark 16:15-16,
“Do all things without murmurings and disputings: that ye may
be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.”
Philippians 2:14-16 KJV
Even today the apostles still shine brightly to believers like stars and still thier wisdom leads many to righteousness
“they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.”
“many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life,”
Which again reveals what this is about
“and the graves were opened; and
many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Matthew 27:52-53
The ot prophecies of the gospel being fulfilled
“For
all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.”
Matthew 11:13 KJV
Even the end of the prophets conclude with a promise of John and Jesus who came 350-400 years after Malachi’s last verses
Jesus fulfilled the prophetic elements of the law and prophets and psalms jerusalems end was 70 ad but we have a New Testament foretelling wha lord going to happen from Jesus forward until the end when he comes again to conclude this new testament as he came to conclude the old
