In the 1950s a young man in the latter rain movement - George H. Warnock - had a very powerful revelation of the glorious church through studying the feasts in the bible.
The feasts of Israel - so would every Christian theologian agree - are pointing to Jesus Christ and his work of redemption. While Passover and Pentecost are fulfilled in the past, what about tabernacles? Most bible teachers assume it will be fulfilled at the second coming of Christ.
George Warnock, however, points out clearly, that the feast of tabernacles is a type of the glorious church, and that it will be fulfilled before Christ returns. An eye-opener and must-read!
"He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." (John 1412)
"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by His Spirit for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God." (1 Cor. 29, 10)
The core of Warnock’s message is that God desires above all else that his Church walk in the fruit of the Spirit—in perfect love. Everything else—spiritual gifts, five-fold leadership, evangelism—is but an intermediate state designed to lead us into the exercise and infilling of perfect love. He demonstrates repeatedly that God intends for the Church to attain this perfect love on this earth, in this dispensation—and that this is the fruit for which God is waiting before the earth is “ripe” for his coming. He also compellingly shows that the “end times” are not to be a time of escape for the Church, but instead a time of purifying—a time in which the Lord completes and perfects his Church, often through perseverance in suffering.
