THE FINAL GREAT AWAKENING WILL BE STARTING SOON.
It will be streamed and broadcast into your home. Your church home will preach it, too. This revolution will be televised, streamed online, and preached from the pulpit.
There was a massive appetite for evangelical Christianity held by men and women living on both sides of the Atlantic during the latter half of the eighteenth century. That appetite will soon be back with a vengeance this time around. It has not the people; it has the event.
The sixteen million Jews currently walking the face of the earth will convert to Christianity. Thus saith the Lord.
The Christian Church of America (a denomination) will lead this final GREAT AWAKING.
The First Great Awakening revitalized religious piety. It swept through the American colonies between the 1730s and the 1770s. That revival was part of a much broader movement, an evangelical upsurge on the other side of the Atlantic, most notably in England, Scotland, and Germany. Religious enthusiasm quickly spread from the Presbyterians of the Middle Colonies to the Congregationalists (Puritans) and Baptists of New England. It spread to all of the Protestant denominations during the middle decades of the eighteenth century. A new Age of Faith rose to counter the Age of Enlightenment’s influences. Reaffirming being genuinely religious meant trusting the heart rather than the head, prizing feeling more than thinking, and relying on biblical revelation rather than human reason. By the eve of the American Revolution, the evangelical converts accounted for approximately ten percent of all southern churchgoers. This put in place the appeal of evangelical Christianity to men and women living on both sides of the Atlantic during the latter half of the eighteenth century.
George Whitefield (Church of England) allied with other Anglican ecclesiastics, notably John and Charles Wesley, who shared his evangelical bent. Together, they led a movement to reform the Church of England (much as the Puritans had attempted earlier to reform that church), which resulted in the founding of the Methodist Church. After 1739, Whitefield preached everywhere in the American colonies, often drawing audiences so large that they had to be held outdoors. His sermons were primarily theatrical hellfire ones in nature. (Note: hellfire theatrics will not work this time around.). The Log College (Princeton University) academically kicked things off. They sent missionaries out to the Southern states and territories.
Since the 1960s, conservative evangelical Protestant churches have been growing while the other Protestant denominations have been slip-sliding away. Membership in the Catholic Church has also been declining. Concurrently, cultures worldwide have fallen into the sewers of oblivion. Religious culture in America today bears numerous resemblances to that of the pre-awakened eighteenth century, a meandering, no-direction home state of mind.
The long-term effects of the Great Awakening were the decline of Quakers, Anglicans, and Congregationalists. Concurrently, the Presbyterians and the Baptists were on the uptick. It also caused the emergence of Black Protestantism throughout the South. Religious tolerance grew. Denominationalism grew. Inner peace was at hand.
The Great Awakening religious revival in the British American Colonies mainly occurred between 1720 and 1740. The birthing of America was just a bit further down the line.
The Great Awakening represented a reaction against the increasing secularization of society and the corporate and materialistic nature of the principal church of American society. Ditto for all of Europe, too!
The Second Great Awakening, which spread religion through revivals and emotional preaching, sparked several reform movements. The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival in the United States during the early 19th century. The Second Great Awakening was a Protestant religious revival from 1795 to 1835. The Second Great Awakening made soul-winning the primary function of its ministry.
They also emphasized temperance and the emancipation of women.
We can divide the Second Great Awakening into three phases—the first (1795–1810). The second phase (1810–25) The third and final phase (1825–35) stemmed from the activities of evangelist Charles Finney.
The beliefs, values, and ideas of religious traditions have made, and continue to make, significant contributions to the development of human societies and cultures. The time is at hand to stop the fade away of Christian values.
Society is upstream from religion. We can only fix institutions of collectivism via Christianity. Religious traditions’ beliefs, values, and ideas have significantly contributed to human societies and cultures. A culture without a Christian value system cannot stand the test of time. The waters of oblivion see to that.
Atheism is a chain of fools. Communism is a yoke around the necks of its servants. Socialism is the gateway drug to the oblivion of communism.
We need democracy to get back to where it once belonged. Free to choose, you and me. Democracy and Christianity are the winning tickets to ride.
- The devolution of cultures is a global epidemic. Sewer cultures cover our globe. It has taken our culture approximately 60 years to fall this far.
- The whiskey is not working anymore. The dawn of reality is upon us. We need to change things before we become people of constant sorrow.
The group of churches known as the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ is a fellowship of congregations within the Restoration Movement (also known as the Stone-Campbell Movement and the Reformation of the 19th century). These churches have no formal denominational affiliation with other communities but still share many characteristics of belief and worship. They don’t have a bureaucratic entity (Wikipedia).
