"Because Ellen White makes the statement in Testimonies to Ministers 507 that the latter rain “may be falling on hearts all around us, but we shall not discern or receive it,” some have assumed that the latter rain could be a quiet, unobtrusive event.

Was it in small dribbles? Acts 2 states, “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.”
Of course, not everyone living in Jerusalem at that time realized that the former rain was falling around them. Neither will everyone know when the latter will be falling around them. But it will be a powerful event. Ellen White wrote: “ I saw the latter rain was coming as [suddenly as] the midnight cry, and with ten times the power” (Spalding-Magan Collection 4)." AdVindicate
