About forty years ago at the world wide camp meeting in Los Angeles, a group headed by a brother by the name of Studd, along with several women, including his wife, claimed to have received a revelation that God was about to do a new thing. They had one verse of Scripture only. It is found in
Isaiah 43:19. This special verse refers to Israel as clearly stated in the context. They wrested it from its context and pressed it to the point of an issue. There were hundreds of people there desirous of finding God, but the camp was spoiled and the work of God hindered by this issue. Until the present, no one has ever defined just what the "New Thing" was.
