The Third Great Awakening?

[Guest inhisrest4evr]

I am writing a book on the 7 trumpets of Revelation. I posed a question to the Lord and I think He is answering me so I present these questions asking only to be given facts not hear say or thoughts,lol,sorry, but I really need to know facts. 1) When and where did the first great awakening take place? What happened after? What was going on in the world before it happened? Why is it called the Great Awakening? What was being preached at that time? The same questions apply to the 2nd Great awakening. If anyone could help me with this history lesson I would be greatly appreciative. I'll check back soon, thank you, your sister Sharon

Here's a link to take a look at, although I am assuming it is from a secular viewpoint, nonetheless, the factual points i.e. dates, etc. should be in tact:

Its funny Suzanne, both Great Awakenings occurred on the heels of great internal wars, the American Revolution and the Civil War. I quietly wonder if we are in the begining stage of a third Great Awakening before a third internal war begins. Something to ponder with my Father. Thanks for the wonderful and informing sites. I learned a great deal today. Your sister in Christ, Sharon

Your Welcome Sharon,

Although I do wish I had more time to research it myself. Other than what my children have learned about it in their homeschool history books, I'm afraid I am not up on the details. I do hope you'll share more details about what you got from it?

In His Love,

Suzanne

Dear Suzanne, I see alot of parallels between what is going on now and the events back then. The thing I am seeing right now is there are revivals happening all over but the church, after a short time goes back to sleep. We had a 40 day tent revival here in Charleston, South Carolina. It drew every denomination, every Pastor. That happened in the early months of 2002 after 9/11. Back then it didn't take an attack of that magnitude for christians to see that the church needed to be cleaned up. Today, most of those relationships formed in 2002 have parted back into their "safe places of worship" and come out occassionally for public meetings. I have friends acroos the states seeing the same thing. Either this was a dress rehersal or we are still in it and it is moving without drawing alot of attention, because I see that happening too. I see alot of correction going on from the Lord also, for all of us and a sense of getting things straight. I see alot of the past here today and alot of persecution being reported at all stages of occurrence, from words to death. I also see how after the tent revival so many new churches sprang up, everyone knows how to do it better than the other guy..rediculous. We need to stick together and come back to the word. If this is what the Lord wanted to show me then I guess the next thing that will happen will be a war within our borders as in the past. Right now there is a great dividing going on already, all verbal and political for now. I don't know Suzanne but I do know one thing, we all need to stand on what unites us and that is Jesus, everything else is not worth division. I homeschool too and I am so thankful that I do so I can teach my children the truth. I want to teach this next year to my son, its so important for him to know the sacrifice many made to bring the truth to this country. Concerning what I wrote above, as I sit here the Lord reminded me that revival is still going on, in us individually and our families. When that happens then in revives our churches, then our neighborhoods, then our cities, then our states and then eventually our country. Thanks for listening to my ramblings, lol. See you soon, love, your sister in Christ, Sharon
