Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the
LORD your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will
cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in
the first month.
The former and latter rain refers to the outpouring of the Holy
Spirit, which will usher in the baptism of the restored earth with the knowledge
of the glory of the LORD. This is the baptism that will restore His people
Israel into right standing as a nation, and place closure on their disobedience
in rejecting Jesus Christ as their Messiah. The former rain has fallen
moderately on the nation of Israel, as some have become born again. The former
and latter rain will be a Holy Spirit cloudburst over His people Israel, as He
shows Himself strong in defeating her enemies.
See also the previous two posts below: The Appointed Weeks of the
Harvest; Latter and Former Rain. (This completes an initial overview the LORD
ministered to me on the phrase “former and latter rain”, which only occurs
three times in Scripture.)
