Corporate Repentance - Robert J. Wieland

The Lord frightened away the invading Syrians
and they left their huge supplies for the starving
Israelites:
It so happened that the king of Israel had put
the city gate under the command of the officer who
was his personal attendant. The officer was
trampled to death there by the people and died, as
Elisha had predicted. … That is just what happened
to him—he died, trampled to death by the people at
the city gate (verses 17, 20).
Unbelief in this "time of the latter rain" will
shut us out from taking part in the glorious
experience that the Lord foretells for His people.
Inspired statements confirm the vision of the
"whole church" within history fully experiencing
such blessing, doubtless following its purification:
The Holy Spirit is to animate and pervade the
whole church, purifying and cementing hearts
(Testimonies, vol. 9, page 20).
