Manchild

An extra-biblical teaching popularized by the Latter Rain movement. Based on a serious misinterpretation of Revelation 12 , pieced together with other passages, such as Joel 2 , this teaching claims that the so-called ''manchild'' (male child) will be born out of the end time church of overcomers.

Some interpret the manchild to represent a worldwide revival (never promised anywhere in Scripture), but the majority of Latter Rain proponents claim that the manchild is the Corporate Church.

Like most Latter Rain teachings, these concepts are promoted by today's controversial ''prophets'' and ''apostles.''
