Counterfeit Revival

Hank Hanegraaff documents the danger of looking for God in all the wrong places and goes behind the scenes into the wildly popular and bizarre world of contemporary revivalism. Hanegraaff masterfully exposes the stark contrast between these deeds of the flesh and a genuine work of the Spirit by contrasting modern "revivals" with the scriptural examples of God's movement among His people.

"Bible Answer Man" Hanegraaff goes behind the scenes to uncover the contradictions, false experiences, spiritual deception, and seductive allure of esoteric experiences masquerading under the banner of truth.

Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith. They also offer practical suggestions for readers who are already influenced by the NAR, curious about it, or concerned about loved ones who have been swept up in the movement. What used to be on the fringes of the church is now mainstream, and many are being influenced by it unaware. This book is a wake-up call.

This study is more about what the fifth and sixth trumpets of Revelation are not, rather than what they are. After all, it is premature to speak of what they are, when the generally-accepted view is built upon a platform of error. It is this fog of error that must first be lifted before we, as a church, can move forward, united in our message to the world as we rightly present the warning messages of the trumpets of Revelation to a dying world. This study comes at a critical time, as the sixth trumpet of Revelation has its application in force in this present period of earth's history, and will continue so until the close of probation, as we will prove. The seventh trumpet of Revelation, as will be shown, is when Jesus receives His kingdom. The administration of the seven last plagues will follow, climaxing with the second coming of Christ in the clouds of heaven.
