Yes and yes.

When God starts raising up "apostolic authority", you'll know it not just by the works of God which are done, but by their lifestyle. When individuals are prepared to live the life of the apostles, then God can entrust them with the power and authority of the apostles. Persecution, suffering, sacrifice, bearing in one's body the marks of the Lord Jesus Christ, forsaking all to follow Him: these are the hallmarks of apostleship.

No one will have to point out what an apostle looks like to you; you'll know it when you see one.

Here's an interesting question...

What do we mean by "revival"?

It would make sense if you scrapped where Jesus said you will know the tree by its fruit. If all humanity is saved but just don't know they are saved then they aren't showing the fruit of their salvation. When they Judeans were free to leave Babylon by Cyrus, most didn't leave, while this didn't change them being Judeans it still separated them from what God had for them to return to the promise land.

Acts 2:38 asked the people to repent, Acts 10:48 Peter ordered those who received the Holy Ghost (they didn't have prior to his visit ) commanding them to be baptized in Jesus name. If what you believe is true then Peter, Paul, and the apostles, would of never baptized, laid hands on, or ordered anyone to do anything, they would of just told everyone that they are saved so everyone be happy.

CJ that doesn't even smell right.

Was Jesus slain from the foundation of the world?? Yes, God had the cure even before the disease. Before Adam sinned, Jesus was already the Savior of the whole world.

You have no problem with Adam condemning the whole world, you believe that Adam and Eve's act of rebellion condemned every person born thereafter. Even before you or I sinned, ADAM condemned us. ONE man caused ALL to be condemned.

But you reject the truth, that JESUS' selfless ONE act of righteousness has as far reaching power and effect. Well, you are wrong, your repentance, all your righteous acts are filthy rags!! But the finished work of the cross has completely reversed the damage Adam did, whether you believe it or not.

I Cor. 15:21-22
For since death came through A man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through A man. FOR as in Adam ALL die, SO in Christ ALL will be made ALIVE.

I put my faith in Him, instead of all the religious dogmas and doctrines of men that 25,000+ religions can spew out. A weak watered down gospel has led to the cultural failure we see in the world today.

If you cannot acknowledge the inclusive scriptures in the Holy Bible, you are blinded by your beliefs, against the far reaching effects of the gospel. The scriptures that you post may be the appropriate response to the gospel but not the saving part.

I did not have a choice in the matter when Adam sinned. Regardless of what I did I was always going to be a sinner. Jesus dies for everybody's sins. NOT just the people who agree with me. I made a choice to be a follower of Jesus.

Some people can only sleep better at night if they condemn their enemies to eternal torture.

Likewise, but I do have a choice to accept that Jesus died our death and reconciled us ALL to God. And I do.

The religious dogmas that I practiced for decades left me empty and broken, powerless over fear and sin. Only the knowledge of and the embracing of the finished work of Christ has set me free from the clutches of the doctrines of men.

Reconciled or will reconcile us ALL to God?

I would love for God to reconcile ALL to himself one day!!!

Of course the rest of what you posted about, end time revival, I heard all of my life in the UPC.

There musts needs be a dramatic restoration of 5 fold ministry. One can search from sea to sea and hardly find a New Covenant minister. I don't mean just apostle and prophet. I mean also pastors and teachers.

The darkness among Christians is unreal. Yet there are no doubt millions who do desire the twin revelations of the spirit and the truth.

Yes there will be revival but not as we normally think of.

And the notion that we "need" to begin building bigger buildings is carnal logic. An inflow of devoted believers will put in motion efforts to meet the body's needs.

Great post! The coming world wide persecution will cause many to fall away. Yet it will also bring forth the greatest move of God since Yeshua walked here among us.

We post tribs need to begin to point out the powerful things that will occur in the years before the coming of Christ.

The ministry of the two witnesses! Prophets preaching in sackcloth again! Smiting the earth with all plagues as often as they will! Oh how the world will rejoice when they are killed by the beast!

There will be the manchild....that great corporate manifestation of Jesus Christ! Daniel said "they that understand among the people shall instruct many". Their teaching will bring the millions of Christians out of darkness into the beautiful light of Christ and the gospel!

God will be using his trumpet judgments to kill millions of sinners in the earth. God will kill more sinners than the beast will kill saints. It will be total war between God and satan. He will open the earth to bring forth creatures out of the inside of the earth which will torment men making them wish they were dead.

In the midst of all the destruction and misery there will come forth an anointed angel (messenger) who will preach the everlasting gospel to all nations!

At last the full truth going forth to the nations! Yes Lord

Let us open our hearts to the things God has revealed in the book of the revelation of Jesus Christ!
