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 />
