Within the last ten years (relative to 1854), the 'latter rains' in Palestine, which had been withheld for generations, have reappeared, as confirmed by both local inhabitants and an American agricultural party who witnessed copious showers in April and May.
In Their Own Words
“Within ten years these latter rains, as a matter of fact, have again appeared. The party who have gone from America to conduct an agricultural enterprise in Palestine, learn from the inhabitants that they have lately had showers in April, after the close of the usual rainy season, which phenomenon has not been witnessed by their ancestors for generations back. This party also bear witness to the same fact. Having been there two or three seasons, they have witnessed the fall of copious showers in April and May. — Millennial Star 16:51”
