What was the latter rain and what was the effect of the latter rain? How is it pouring upon God’s faithful people and how it will fall on the hearts of the people but not be discerned or received or understood by many?
The latter rain is with us now and so are sunday laws. As the latter rain swells into a loud cry so enforcements for Sunday Laws will intensify. The sunday law death decree will take place as a final effort to silence the people who have given the loud cry.
The latter rain is imparted and culminates in the proclamation of the loud cry of the third angel. The latter rain and the loud cry and the effect of the loud cry on the people impose a reaction upon those who hear it. Especially those who don’t want to hear it so that Sunday laws come into action. You can see how those three subjects are all interlocking in their effect.
As they interlock and overlap, Sunday laws become agitated and they agitate God’s people who have received the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and proclaim the Sabbath with greater power. This leads to the trouble and antagonism of the churches. This is because they are very anti the powerful impact of the presentation of the Sabbath under the power of the Holy Spirit. Observe this is an interlocking activity.
Sunday laws have always been there. We studied them in the second angel’s message. As the Sunday laws under the third angel’s message period are opposed by those who are receiving the latter rain and proclaiming the Sabbath more fully, the Sunday laws begin to be stirred into more impact upon the world because the churches are opposing this message. The loud cry is the final warning to the world. This leads to trouble. We now enlarge the time of trouble that happens before the big time of trouble in the plagues.
And I saw that if God had changed the Sabbath from the seventh to the first day, He would have changed the writing of the Sabbath commandment, written on the tables of stone, which are now in the ark in the most holy place of the temple in heaven; and it would read thus: The first day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. But I saw that it read the same as when written on the tables of stone by the finger of God, and delivered to Moses on Sinai. But the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. I saw that the holy Sabbath is, and will be, the separating wall between the true Israel of God and unbelievers; and that the Sabbath is the great question to unite the hearts of God’s dear, waiting saints. I saw that God had children who do not see and keep the Sabbath. They have not rejected the light upon it. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost. EW 33
Observe the overlapping. The outpouring of the latter rain is at the commencement of the time of trouble.
…as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. This enraged the churches and nominal Adventists, as they could not refute the Sabbath truth. And at this time God’s chosen all saw clearly that we had the truth, and they came out and endured the persecution with us. I saw the sword, famine, pestilence, and great confusion in the land. EW 33
Terrible things transpired.
The wicked thought that we had brought the judgments upon them, and they rose up and took counsel to rid the earth of us, thinking that then the evil would be stayed. EW 33
At the commencement of the time of trouble the outpouring of the Holy Spirit and the proclamation of the Sabbath is chronicled;
I saw that the holy Sabbath is, and will be, the separating wall between the true Israel of God and unbelievers;. And at the commencement of the time of trouble, we were filled with the Holy Ghost as we went forth and proclaimed the Sabbath more fully. EW 33
Jeremiah 18:18 'Then said they, Come, and let us devise devices against Jeremiah; for the law shall not perish from the priest, nor counsel from the wise, nor the word from the prophet. Come, and let us smite him with the tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words.'
They were the brethren of Jeremiah. What did they do? They don’t like to hear what he was saying. In the time of Jeremiah he was warning them that they should serve the Lord and do what God tells them to do but they thought we will to silence him. We will smite him with the tongue and we will not listen to what he has to say.
