Restoration of the Tabernacle of David
The Restoration of the Tabernacle of David was also a major emphasis of this revival:
‘After these things I will return,
And I will rebuild the tabernacle of David which has fallen,
And I will rebuild its ruins,
And I will restore it,
17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord,
And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,’
18 Says the Lord, who makes these things known from long ago. (Acts 15:16-18 NASV)
When the Holy Spirit fell on the gentiles, it caused quite a controversy in the early Jewish church. They called a meeting in Jerusalem to discuss what to do with the gentile believers.
In resolving the issue, James quoted Amos 9:11-12, that spoke of how God was going to restore David’s tabernacle that would result in gentiles pouring into Israel.
They believed God fulfilled this prophecy in the church, clearly linking Israel and the church as one.
David’s tabernacle also incorporated a new form of praise and worship in Old Testament Israel that included clapping of hands (Psalm 47:1), lifting of hands (Psalm 134), shouting (Psalm 47:1, 5), dancing (2 Samuel 6:16; Psalm 149:3) and using variety of instruments (1 Chronicles 23:5; Psalm 47:5; Psalm 149:3).
With David’s tabernacle restored, this naturally resulted in the church embracing the tabernacle’s style of praise and worship.
The 1948 revival had a significant impact on the modern charismatic church. Now to be fair, like all revivals it also had its problems and some went into Biblical error, but I think most of that had to do with the weaknesses of man than the revival itself.
