Israel usually has an early rain and a latter rain. The fall rain is the early rain and the spring rain is the latter rain. When there is a good year for both the spring harvest and fall harvest, the rains during both seasons are generous.
You are entering a large spiritual harvest, and the instructions in My Word are to pray for rain during the season of the latter rain. The prophet Zechariah wrote: "Ask you the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field (Zechariah 10:1)."
When Joel spoke of the harvest time when I would pour My Spirit upon all flesh, he spoke these words: "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for He has given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month (Joel 2:23)." Hosea exhorted us to follow on to know the LORD. If we do, this is the promise: "His going forth is prepared as the morning; and He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain upon the earth (Hosea 6:3)" When you pray for rain during the latter rain, you are praying for Me to come soon.
ZECHARIAH 10:1; JOEL 2:23; HOSEA 6:3
