Overview of Book:
Dawning: The Next Great Move of God

The theses of Kenneth Uptegrove’s 250 page book states: There are many surprising, exciting prophetic promise in the Bible that foretell a great revival and harvest that God is about to bring just prior to the Second Coming.

For proof he shows Scriptures we all are familiar with—from Genesis through Revelation—that supports his theses. Ken also contends that the Bible says very specifically how God is going to bring about this last great movement. This exciting concept suggested the title to his book: “The dawning of the next great move of God is bringing the church to spiritual awakening, spiritual power, and spiritual victory.”

Many Christians—perhaps your listeners—have fasted and prayed for years for such a harvest. Now they will hear from the Bible why this great movement didn’t come until now, and why and how God is going to bring this about.

Ken hopes to show us that God is about to finish the reformation, restoration process that Martin Luther began, so as to restore to the church all that was lost by religionists during the dark ages. God will glorify Himself with a last days church that will be as glorious as the first days church, and even more so.

You and your listeners will be stretched and enriched for your effort to prove or disprove his gracious assertions. Perhaps they will be provoked to call in and ask hard questions.

WHAT WILL BE CHARACTERISTIC
OF THIS GREAT MOVE OF GOD?

God is perfect and is eternally the same, but He is eternally up to something different in every generation (Mal. 3:6). His ways and methods stay fresh, and are forever fresh and unpredictably new. We can count on this.

It is through our personal relationship with Jesus Christ that God promotes change and freshness in our lives. Therefore, what He is doing in the church today may seem, in our limited perspective, to be new and creative, but to Him it is all part of His plan for our progression towards perfection in Christ Jesus. Hasn’t that been His plan all along? Take a look from a millennial perspective and you will find this “new” thing that is coming is not really new, but rather an embracing of radical, biblical Christianity.

Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:13b‑14)

Today most evangelical groups anticipate the next revival—a great movement of God—to far exceed any revival in the past. Therefore, it stands to reason that the preparation preceding the next great revival will have to far exceed anything God has required in past revivals. After all, if our present level of faith, works, and understanding could accomplish God’s great commission, America and the world would have been won to Christ long ago.

God has revealed all in His Son, Jesus Christ! We just never seem to walk in all of that revelation at any given time. The good news is that the church now appears to be entering into a more complete and balanced insight of old revelation.

I believe that the reformation, restoration movement that God started through Martin Luther in A.D. 1520 is an on‑going process. Nearly every flame of truth established by Christ and His apostles was dampened during the Dark Ages; but with the Reformation, those smoldering embers were rekindled. Simply stated, all that was lost to the church by religionists during the Dark Ages is now being restored. The old seems new to us because we never did it before. Old truths seem like new revelation to us because we never understood these truths before. The Bible is the infallible Word of God, but we are NOT infallible, and despite our best intentions we fail to be all that we can be in Christ. So, God is restoring the first century church truths in order to prepare a victorious church and a glorious bride for our coming Bridegroom in these latter last days.

God’s promise to Abraham (Genesis 22:17-18) that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the heavens—many hundreds of millions—has not happened yet, so this is an unfulfilled prophecy that WILL be fulfilled. These are undeniable, orthodox Bible truths that have never been compiled in one book before. Among these truths are Bible passages that would seem to contradict this claim that a massive harvest is coming. See how these passages are brought into balance.
