Here is a prophecy from the book of Amos about the end times, which I think we are already living in.
Amos 8:11 "Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:"
Have you recently visited a church to hear the Word of God spoken in order to understand more about these latter days and what to expect? Did you hear any teaching on these things? —probably not because the "famine" has already begun. All we need to do is look around and see what’s happening in the world today and what‘s being taught in schools. Not good.
Okay. Regarding an end-time revival… YES, there most certainly will be one. Remember that even though the two witnesses will be killed (murdered) before the whole world near the end of the great tribulation, God gave Satan orders to touch not those who have the seal of God in their foreheads (foreheads meaning our minds). Here it is:
Revelation 9:4 "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."
Here’s where I believe the revival begins. There will be a testimony given on earth by the elect/Christians before the end of this age comes to an end.
Mark 13:9 "But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for My sake, for a testimony against them."
It appears that those of us who are true Christians will testify against those who falsely identify as Christians while promoting the Antichrist's ideologies. Over and over again in the Bible, Jesus warns us not to be deceived. Why? because there will be plenty of deception in the world. We are called to serve as Christ's witnesses. This is our destiny!
Mark 13:10 "And the gospel must first be published among all nations."
I don't think this is happening now, but I think it will soon when God's elect are singled out and the Holy Spirit of God speaks through them, exposing the Antichrist as the false messiah (Remember, the AC will be claiming to be God).
Mark 13:11 "But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Ghost (Spirit)."
Note: Acts 2:16: "But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;" This prophecy is recorded in Joel 2:28-32.
Acts 2:17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days,' saith God, `I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:”
Acts 2:18 "And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit; and they shall prophesy:"
Acts 2:19 "And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:"
Acts 2:20 "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:"
Acts 2:21 "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Every language and dialect spoken by the sons and daughters will be clear when they speak and everyone will understand. It will be God Himself speaking through His servants. The true gospel of Christ will be preached, and this will generate a great revival!
