Summary
This teaching examines Joel's prophecy of the former and latter rain. Using Joel 1 and Joel 2 as the foundation, Vaughn argues that the latter rain has been widely misunderstood because the prophecy is directed to Israel rather than to a separate church entity. The sermon rejects dispensational distinctions between Israel and the church, teaches that believers become part of the commonwealth of Israel, and identifies the latter rain with the coming Day of Yahweh, the millennial kingdom, and the manifestation of the sons of God. The message emphasizes repentance, covenant identity, restoration, and preparation for the future reign of Messiah.
