THE FORMER AND THE LATER RAIN Hosea was a prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel (also called Ephraim) during the 8th century B.C.  God commands Hosea to marry Gomer, a harlot, to symbolize Israel's unfaithfulness to Him. Hosea is the same Hebrew word as Joshua and Jesus. Hosea was the Old Testament prophet with the message for God's People to inherit the land of promise, and Joshua succeeded Moses as the deliverer of Israel and took them across the Jordan into the land of promise. And Jesus takes humanity into a spiritual land of promise, not earthly territory but the soil of the heart. God refers to Israel as his bride (Isaiah 62:5, Isaiah 54) and he also calls her unfaithful, as a harlot (Jeremiah 3:1). In Ephesians 5 Paul calls the Church the bride of Christ and he fears for the church going astray by being beguiled from the simplicity that is in Christ.  For I have divine jealousy for you. Betrothing you to one husband, that I may present you as a pure virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ (2 Corinthians 11) So we have this story of both Israel and the Church as being God's beloved bride and who go through times of unfaithfulness to God and being made desolate - and finally turning back to God in their time of affliction to be revived and restored.  God says to Israel after they have been stubbornly going astray that he is going to leave them to themselves to go their own way and that he will go and return to his place (Heaven) - and that In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me. And that is what is happening in the earth and in the church today Hosea 5:15 God says, I will return again to My place till they acknowledge their offense. Then they will seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me. And then they will say "Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us but he will heal us; he has afflicted us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going from us is established as the morning, and He will come to us like the rain, like the former and latter rain to the earth. There is no mention that Israel was ever revived and restored after two days during the prophecy of Hosea – It was a prophecy of future hope. He prophesied for 30 to 40 years and Israel never repented and at the end of his prophecy Israel were defeated by the Assyrians. So what does this mean that ‘after two days I will revive you', and in the third day you will live in my presence? It means that we have to see these two days as prophetic periods of time that the Apostle Peter later writes about.  Israel failed in their allegiance to the provisions and promises of God and still now the promise of full possession of their Promised Land awaits them. That promise is one of occupying their earthly territory in the Middle East. But the promise to the Church is to spiritually inherit and occupy the fullness of the spiritual blessings we have in Christ.  Let us look at the interpretation of this prophetic period of time spoken of by Peter. 2Peter 3:8 But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish (waste their lives), but that all should reach repentance. But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away (lyo – moved aside) with a roar, and the heavenly bodies (elemental particles) will be burned up and dissolved (a purifying fire), and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. If one day can be counted as a thousand years then 6 days would be six thousand years. The genealogies of the Bible show that it is now about six thousand years from the time of Adam. In fact I read in an archeological journal recently that civilisation in cities can only be traced back four thousand years, around the area of ancient Ur in the Chaldees, where Abraham lived and from where he was called to go out and prepare for the Hebrew people to possess the Land of Promise. That occurred in around 2000 years BC. Christ appeared on the earth about 2000 years later. And now we are about 2000 years later at around 6000 years from Adam, according to Biblical genealogy.  (Notice I used the word ‘about' a few times – no exactness' – how many people were in the upper room at Pentecost? The bible says about 120!) And what does ‘living in His presence in the third day' mean? That would describe the next one thousand years after the 6000 which would mean the seventh day - the one thousand years of rest – Six days of of work and one day of rest God at work redeeming humanity then a day of rest – the millennium So if we apply the saying ‘I will go and return to my place and after 2 days I will return' it echoes the words of Jesus 2000 years ago when he spoke to his disciples, because the last time that God said to his people that he would return and go to his place was when Jesus spoke to his disciples before his ascension into Heaven.  John 14:2 I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also… the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.   When God left Israel and returned to his place (Heaven) he was giving Israel time to consider their ways in their afflictions and to seek his face and return to him. And in due course in the latter days Israel will be revived and live in his presence. They will receive the healing of their souls from the former and latter rains of revival from the Holy Spirit.  In Israel they had both the spiritual and the agricultural seasons of year. The agricultural season after Pentecost brought the dry months – empty years - and towards the end of that period would come the former rain softening the earth and then the latte rain bringing the harvest. For us spiritually today the former rain is the softening of the hearts of humanity with the water of God's word along with being broken and churned up and softened through afflictions. That prepares us for the latter rains of spiritual revival for us to become the people that we really are. The great and awesome day of the Lord is always getting closer no matter when we make our best-guess estimates – there is no exactness - but we're living in days when there are worse things happening in the world than ever before. We will see not only more darkness and tribulation in the earth than ever before, but I have an expectation to see more spiritual activity of the Holy Spirit than we have seen before, as in the past visitations of God since Pentecost, and I believe we're in the beginnings of that right now. Too many good words have been spoken and have fallen on deaf ears and hard hearts. But good seed has been sown and the grace of God and the works of God are going to become more manifest and that will open people's eyes and give them ears that are ready to hear in these present times. And while the double portion of healing rains is softening the wounded hearts and ripening the seeds the fruit of the Spirit will speedily become evident in transformed hearts and minds. The Bible says that Workers will still be harvesting when it is time to plough the fields again. They will still be trampling the grapes when it is time for a new crop. Sweet wine will drip from the mountains and pour from the hills (Amos 9:13). As you walk your steady path of grace and truth and love you can expect God to overtake you and go ahead of you. We are living in the day of the former and the latter rains.

In Part 2 of his series on 2 Peter, Rabbi Schiller looks at various aspects of spiritual growth, showing how it's possible, necessary, gradual, inevitable, organic, and observable.

Pastor Jim Osman explores how Peter became an eyewitness to majesty during Christ's Transfiguration, using this divine encounter to refute false teachers who denied the second coming. In 2 Peter 1:16-18, the apostle defends Christ's return through personal eyewitness testimony and Old Testament prophetic revelation. The Transfiguration in Matthew 17 provided Peter, James, and John with a preview of Christ's kingdom glory. Therefore, when false teachers claimed Christ's return was merely "cleverly devised myths," Peter responded as eyewitnesses to majesty who personally witnessed the divine glory accompanying His second coming. Furthermore, this eyewitness account encourages believers that they will share Christ's glory while warning unbelievers of coming judgment. The Christian faith rests not on fabricated stories but on reliable eyewitnesses to majesty who recorded what they experienced. Consequently, Peter's testimony provides unshakeable evidence that Christ will return in power and glory. ★ Support this podcast ★

The Christians who have been bought by the blood of Christ, chosen as God's people, shaped to be a temple for God's presence, are to live unique and countercultural lives so that the world cannot help but notice. When the world gives in to the desires of the flesh, the Christian abstains from sinful desires. We will examine sinful desires, how we abstain from them, and why.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, dear friends! On this July 27th episode, your host Hunter invites you to join him on day 209 of our journey through the Scriptures. Together, you'll warm your hearts by the fires of God's love, reminded that our focus is always on the Living Word—Jesus—rather than mere ink on a page. Today's readings bring us deep into Isaiah chapters 50 through 52, Psalm 92, and 2 Peter 1. In this episode, Hunter reflects on the enduring promises of God's comfort and salvation, highlighting the powerful assurance and confidence that comes from experiencing the Father's love—just as Peter did on the mount of Transfiguration. You'll be encouraged to anchor your hope in God's unwavering faithfulness, even when life feels uncertain or your confidence is shaken. Ending in prayer, Hunter reminds you that you are God's beloved child, cherished and never alone. So settle in, bring an open heart, and let the Word speak to you today—there's no doubt about it, you are loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: A Confidence Rooted in Love Need a confidence boost? Peter's experience on the mount of Transfiguration filled him with confidence. He recalls that moment in our reading today from 2 Peter 1, where he says, “Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message we proclaim by the prophets.” Hearing the voice of God built his confidence. What he heard was God's declaration of love for his son: “This is my son whom I love. With him I am well pleased. Listen to him.” Peter is still drawing confidence from this word, from this declaration of God's love for his son. But he isn't just remembering an event—he's recalling how that experience awakened him to the love of God for himself, too. In John 17, Jesus speaks to the Father and says, “I am in them and you are in me. May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me.” This realization—that God loves us just as he loves Jesus the Son—began to take root in Peter's life. It changed him. The knowledge and experience of God's love gave him confidence to move forward, no matter the challenge. Have you experienced the love of the Father? Experiencing his love transforms us from the inside out. It gives us confidence and the courage to move forward, just as it did for Peter. If you're feeling unconfident today, that's okay. Listen to those words spoken over Jesus and know they are spoken over you—you are God's child, and you are loved. That seed of truth may take time to grow, but as you allow the Holy Spirit to nurture this reality in your life, it will bear fruit. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer I have for my family—for my wife, my daughters, my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Jesus is my shepherd. You have called me by my name into the life of the Beloved. Here in the stillness, I remember that I am not alone. I belong to you and to the great communion of saints and sinners held together in your love. Remind me, Lord, that every breath is grace, every encounter is a chance to give what I have received—mercy without measure. When I forget who I am, when I lose my way, lead me again to still waters, restore my soul. Renew my hope. Reroute me in the joy of simply being yours. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.   OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
