warned in Galatians, "ano<strong>the</strong>r gospel,"—<strong>the</strong>re is<br />
nothing to prevent time from continuing<br />
indefinitely. In relation to <strong>the</strong> "true tabernacle" it<br />
means that <strong>the</strong> cleansing cannot be completed until<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is a group of people willing to be cleansed.<br />
For this reason <strong>the</strong> church awaits today <strong>the</strong><br />
fulfillment of <strong>the</strong> statement made many years ago:<br />
The latter rain is to fall upon <strong>the</strong> people of God.<br />
A mighty angel is to come down from heaven, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> whole earth is to be lighted with His glory. Are<br />
we ready to take part in <strong>the</strong> glorious work of <strong>the</strong><br />
third angel? Are our vessels ready to receive <strong>the</strong><br />
heavenly dew? Have we defilement and sin in <strong>the</strong><br />
heart? If so, let us cleanse <strong>the</strong> soul temple, and<br />
prepare for <strong>the</strong> showers of <strong>the</strong> latter rain. The<br />
refreshing from <strong>the</strong> presence of <strong>the</strong> Lord will never<br />
come to hearts filled with impurity. May God help<br />
us to die to self, that Christ, <strong>the</strong> hope of glory, may<br />
be found within!<br />
The latter rain "will never come" as long as <strong>the</strong><br />
people of God are content with present conditions<br />
