    A Necessary Need: Repent and Do The

    Otis Arms
    The document discusses the frequent need for religious revivals throughout history. It notes that early Christian churches received calls from Jesus to repent or face consequences. Similarly in the Old Testament, when the Israelites strayed from God, judges would be raised up to deliver them if they cried out for help. The document asserts that at the root of all righteous decline is temptation by the devil due to a lack of resistance to and ignorance of his influence, as well as rebellion against God's word. It encourages meditating on scripture and speaking of God to resist the devil and avoid the need for revival.

    In the book of Judges, a parallel situation is


    seen. For no less than 5 instances it is told:

    “And the children of Israel did evil in the sight


    of the LORD, and forgot the LORD... And when
    the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the
    LORD raised up to the children of Israel, those
    who delivered them”: Othniel, Ehud, Deborah
    and Barak, Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson.
    Next is seen a similar decline in the sons of Eli
    & Samuel’s sons. Of Eli, sons. For they kept not
    the pure path of their fathers. Given the severe
    judgement visited upon Eli sons, we would
    think Samuel sons would pay heed. Instead
    they fell into a similar fate as Eli sons.
