Latter Rain (post–World War II movement)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from
Manifest Sons of God)
The
Latter Rain, also known as the
New Order or
New Order of the Latter Rain, was a post–
World War II movement within
Pentecostal Christianity which remains controversial to this day. For clarification in discussion of the Latter Rain a distinction should be made between:
- The Latter Rain Revival (1948–1952)
- The Latter Rain Movement (1952–1960s)
- Sharon Schools (Global Missions)
- Other groups influenced by the Latter Rain.
The Latter Rain Movement had its beginnings in the years following World War II and was contemporary with the
evangelical awakening that was occurring with
Billy Graham at the forefront, as well as the
Healing Revival with
Oral Roberts,
Jack Coe, and
William Branham.
[1] William Branham is often erroneously considered the founder of the Latter Rain because those who started it were inspired by attending one of his meetings. Rather, several leaders of Sharon Orphanage, a small Pentecostal orphanage in
North Battleford, Saskatchewan, were inspired to look for a deeper dimension of Christianity after visiting Branham's meeting, and they began to
fast and pray in search of it. Later that year, revival events occurred, and news quickly swept across
Canada and the
United States, influencing many Pentecostal believers.
As the revival itself died down after a few years, those who had been changed by the doctrine formed various groups which became known as "The Latter Rain" (Movement). The Latter Rain heavily emphasized relational networks over organizational structure. In addition, the term
Latter Rain has become somewhat of a
pejorative label; therefore, many ministers who were influenced in some way by it are reluctant to make this well known or choose to emphasize their lack of any formal involvement. Much of the movement, along with elements of the Healing Revival, slowly dissolved into parts of the larger
Charismatic movement.
For these reasons, history may never know the breadth of its influence. Latter Rain emphases are some of the most noticeable difference between Pentecostals and Charismatics as delineated, for example, by the
Assemblies of God USA in their 2000 position paper on End Time Revival.
[2] The movement was rejected by classical Pentecostal denominations.
[3]
This should not be confused with earlier movements or ideas within Pentecostalism including the Latter Rain Assemblies in South Africa, begun in 1927. Distinction should also be made between various groups with Latter Rain influences and the Sharon Schools (also known as Global Missions) organization with "camp" meeting grounds at North Battleford, where the revival and movement first originated from.

ALL BECAUSE OF THE GAP INSERTED INTO JOEL'S PROPHECY OF PENTECOST.
but true believers won't believe or take part in this, because it is CHRIST who keeps His sheep.
grownups are too complicated.
