Great question, and discussion! I've been a believer for several years, but recently have had my spiritual eyes opened even further. I've listened to several prophecies about a 3rd "Great Awakening" and a "Great Harvest", so I definitely think it's mostly a spiritual awakening being referenced. What I find interesting though, is how this term is being used across many different areas in our culture - spiritually, politically, and in different belief systems (for example, the new age movement). It's almost like, even if some don't know it yet, we are all fighting on the same team against a common enemy, and God is using this to draw people closer to himself and towards an end goal of a great spiritual revival. There have been many times in history that a spiritual awakening precedes major political upheaval and societal change. So both can coincide hand in hand.
It's undeniable that we are living through a spiritual event, where some eyes have been opened to the truth / the veil has been lifted, and while others eyes have been blinded. It reminds me of the scripture Matthew 13:11-12 - “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them."
For what it's worth, I've enjoyed reading all of the responses here, and digging into scripture about the end times. I would personally love to do more of this on here, maybe form a sort of bible study discussion group? A way to dig into the word and have fellowship... just a thought!
