The Seven Year Drought and the Coming Rain
22 March 2016
By Mark Farquharson
About three and half years ago, back in October of 2012 it was thought that we were at the end of a three and half year drought. At that time we had been in the time of Elijah for about three and half years. The thinking that the time of Elijah started back in April of 2009 and would end on October 12 2012. Elijah was the one who prayed for it not to rain, and there was a drought for three years and six months, James 5:17. If however we go from the first actual sign of Elijah which occurred on May 1, 2009, then three years six months would have ended on October 31, 2012.
The feast of Tabernacles in October 2012 was a time to pray for rain, after the pattern of Elijah (1 Kings 18:43). Revelation was received through Vinnie on the evening of the seventh day of Tabernacles. In Elijah's day when he prayed for rain, the rain did come.
However the drought did not end as expected, the rain did not come on the expected day of October 12 2012, neither did it come at the end of October or the beginning of November of that year. The rain did not come that year, or the following year. In fact the rain never came. That is not to say that the rain will never come. We just have to be patient a bit longer. The prayer will be answered, the rain will come.
Now it is almost three and half years later. Instead of a three and half year drought, it will be a seven year drought come May 1 this year. That is it will be double the drought period of Elijah's day. Seven years for spiritual perection, and completeness.
It should end in the eighth year, for eighth is new beginnings, new life, new creation, the start of the new week. The rain will come on the eighth day being the eighth year.
Back on October 8 2015, I was out walking and it had started to rain. I came across a place to shelter from the rain. This group of women were going past when two of them commented. The first one said "You know it's not going to stop, it's going to keep raining." And the second one said "At least you got a dry spot in the meantime." We are in a dry spot in the meantime while we await the coming rain, that is we are in a drought. When the rain does come, it will not stop, it will keep raining, bring it on.
What is this rain, this is the living waters of the Holy Spirit. A time of great joy and happiness. A time to embrace the waters and bring the waters to the peoples of the world. A time to take the true evangel to the nations. A time to spread the love throughout the whole world.
When will this drought end? The second sign of Elijah was on May 9 and 10, 2009, this was to "purify the waters of Jericho with the salt of the earth (2 Kings 2:19-22)." Refer to Dr Jones weblog: The Elisha Fast
We are awaiting the waters, this sign was done at the time of Second Passover of that year, May 8-10, 2009. Second Passover this year will be May 22-24 2016. I got the sign of the outpouring on May 22 2012. This date would then be the 22nd day of the eighth year. Twenty two meaning sons of light.
