From the East to the West: From the Third Pentecost Phenomenon in Indonesia to the Asbury Revival
Two major Pentecostal-Charismatic phenomena occur both in the east and the west. The third Pentecost has been preached by Indonesian wellknown pastor Niko Njotorahardjo in the east. He believes that the third Pentecost is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit to fulfill the great commission and to win many souls for Christ in these end times. The Asbury revival in the West, on the other hand, moved the crowds to sing, pray, and read the Bible. During this revival, the Atlantic describes that the crowds feel a deep peace and heavy presence of God. Courier Journal records this revival goes viral to have 63 million viewers on TikTok by February 18 2023. Thus, this phenomenon in the West raises questions to Pentecostal-Charismatic denomination in Indonesia whether the Asbury revival is connected to the third Pentecost, and the Asbury revival in the west is the fulfillment of the third Pentecost.
