If we are looking for new wineskins, we should also expect new wine—a new message. If this is the final harvest that is the end of the age, then we know that this message will be the “gospel of the kingdom.” We can expect this to begin to eclipse the main focus since the Reformation, which is the gospel of salvation.

The gospel of personal salvation will be a crucial part of our message, but the gospel of the kingdom is about...

We finished last week’s word by asking what we need to do to be prepared for the coming harvest. We all see in part and know in part, so I do not have the whole picture, but I do have part of it. The first two points are:

1) Build our church life first on small groups

2) Build on koinonia before ecclesia

In 1987 I was given an extensive vision of the coming harvest. I was shown two great waves of harvest coming. The first one that I was shown emerged a couple of years after I had that vision, resulting in the greatest ingathering and growth of Christianity in history over the next couple of decades.

A large part of the prophecy is spent on the destruction of “the great harlot”—Mystery Babylon. It is obvious that we need to really understand this, especially when it is appropriate for God’s people to “come out of her” and the signs of this.

     In the 1960s and 70s, with emerging of movements like the New Testament pattern church, apostolic, and home church, a number...
