Overview

The term "revival" is often used to describe a person or congregation turning to God. Is this something that "just happens," or is it something that can be brought about by believers? There are many books on revivals, but they often fail to fully consider the causes and consequences of these awakenings. Today, nearly everyone agrees that mankind needs true renewal according to the ways of God, whether in a nation, a congregation, or an individual.

In Fire on the Mountain, eminent theologian, Dr. Louis Goldberg, examines revivals in the Bible, looks at post-biblical renewals, and gleans principles that can be applied in the twenty-first century. He also explains the greatest revival in history—the future return of Israel to the Lord.

“We cannot tamper with God’s holiness and his purposes without suffering the consequences.” (Page 17)

“On the verge of entering into its greatest opportunities to serve the living God, Israel suffered one of her greatest failures. The problem with that generation—those twenty years and older—was not in taking them out of Egypt, with all of the miracles that occurred in making the Exodus possible. No, the real difficulty was to take Egypt out of their hearts!” (Page 15)

“but it is important to note to what depths a nation can go before God’s Spirit reaches his people” (Page 9)

“The Hebrew word used in this passage for ‘revive’ is from the verb shuv, or, ‘turn back, turn.’³ One must, therefore,” (Page 2)

“It would appear that believers cannot pray down a Holy Spirit revival any time they choose, even though we desperately crave one. A delicate balance exists between human responsibility to meet God’s requirements and the mysterious providence of God to send one.” (Page 4)
