Korean Revival

The term "Korean Revival" is not explicitly found in the Bible, but it refers to a significant movement of spiritual awakening that occurred in Korea, particularly in the early to mid-20th century. This revival is often associated with the Pyongyang Revival of 1907, which was marked by intense prayer, repentance, and a profound sense of the presence of God among the people. It led to a dramatic increase in the number of Christians in Korea and had a lasting impact on Korean society and the global church.Biblically, the concept of revival can be linked to the themes of repentance and renewal found throughout scripture. For example, in 2 Chronicles 7:14, God promises that if His people humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways, He will hear from heaven and heal their land. This reflects the essence of revival—a collective return to God characterized by spiritual fervor and transformation. Additionally, Acts 2 describes the outpouring of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, igniting a movement that led to the rapid growth of the early church; similar dynamics were evident during the Korean Revival as believers sought a deeper relationship with God and a commitment to evangelism.
