The Raising Interest in Religion
David Cawston
Matthew 24:8-14; Joel 2:28-31
Introduction:
The Bible portrays these last days as days of contrast. On one hand there is great disillusionment and disappointment. On the other hand there is a season of unprecedented revival.
As the two texts I have chosen seem to speak of the same time.

With prosperity and blessing comes apostacy.
With adversity and difficulty comes spirituality.
We are cyclicitic in nature.
