Divine Rescue: A Pathway Forged by the First Great Awakening

"Going with God is like a spiritual roller coaster." Such a statement unrealistically expresses the people's experience in certain religious relations "climax and trough" . In fact, evangelism will not decline. Maybe it will last a while, but it will eventually continue to evolve rapidly and at an expanding stage (Worrell 4). When experiencing a period of time during which civilization is in religious obsolescence, it will accelerate eagerly into an era often called awakening (4).

The first big awakening began in 1725 and continued until 1750 in the American colonial era. The great awakening was caused by a trip to the UK gospel minister, George Whitefield. The great awakening involves the participation of political factions that wish to bring about religious, social and political changes. In this era, the first movements of social reform began to develop. The second awakening is due to the innovation of the Industrial Revolution and the rapid expansion of the territory of the United States, especially the lack of interest in religion in Western countries. People have no time or orientation to worship. The fierce resurreater meeting evoked an interest in religion. At the tent meeting, a fanatic missionary who used Christian doctrine was introduced to solve the social problem of the time. The second awakening began in 1800 and gradually declined by 1850.

The first big awakening (1730s - 1770s): The first big awakening (1730s - 1770s) was a series of religious resurrections of the 18th century that promoted the expansion of colonial evangelical denominations. Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield played an important role in the development of the first wonderful awakening. For more information about First Great Awakening, please click here.
