Bible Question: Do you believe there will be a great revival before the Lords return?---or do you believe these scriptures have already been fullfilled?----I would like your answer to be backed by (scripture)----OleJoe777 |
Bible Answer: Greetings OleJoe777! I just stumbled across your question today! Acts 2:17-21 is a quotation of Joel 2:28-32. Peter gave this quotation when he addressed the crowd after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:1-4. Notice what Acts 2:14-16 says, "Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It’s only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:'" So, the answer to your question must be, 'Yes, they were fulfilled'! Peter said that they were fulfilled by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. Now, whether or not there will be a great revival is really an issue for other verses. I don't know of any verses which specifically say that there will be a great revival before Christ returns, but I do know of many that say there will be a great falling away. Consider Mt. 24:10-14: "At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11 and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but he who stands firm to the end will be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
