“It is not a new phenomenon for false religion to prevail during times of great revival of true religion, with many hypocrites arising among true believers. This pattern can be seen in the great reformation and revival during Josiah's time, the outpouring of the Spirit upon the Jews in the days of John the Baptist, and the great commotions caused by Jesus Christ's preaching. In each of these instances, many were called, but few were chosen; many were temporarily roused and affected, but few were true disciples who endured to the end.”
