My best guess is that we are in the time of the metaphorical Latter Day Harvest that will be even greater than the Awakening and Outpouring of Acts 2.
We seem to be in the time period of the full fledged fulfillment of Joel 2.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit.
30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Jehovah cometh.
32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of Jehovah shall be delivered; for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those that escape, as Jehovah hath said, and among the remnant those whom Jehovah doth call.
@Heavenhome Now that we have the complete revealed Word of God, we don't need more signs and wonders to confirm the message of the Gospel - as happened in Apostolic days when the church was new and when the Scriptures was not yet complete.Whilst we are surely living in the last days,
I am firstly incredulous and then saddened that anyone would believe this sort of thing.
When Jesus performed miracles it was to help others and point them to repentance and faith in God.
And it was to unbelievers.
A dripping Bible or other such manifestation is a deception at best.
Post 5 says it well and is enough for me.

I have seen the terminally ill healed...
James 5
Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
16 Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.
17 Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.
18 And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him; 20 let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:"
Elisha made an ax head float so it could be returned, but people see stuff like this and instantly imply something evil about it. If it isn’t a hoax (I really hope it isn’t) then how exactly is it leading people astray?
That is very much what the Evangelists of the Worldwide Church of God would probably have taught in the late 1980's if this miracle had came up at that time!
I've gone off in a very different direction since then:
An apology from a former member of the Worldwide Church of God
Because they begin putting faith in something other than the finished work of Christ..
These people are either selling this oil or giving it away, and people are placing faith in something they can touch, instead of in Christ.
Were the Apostles giving away cloth or oil and telling people that it would do something for them? Or were they encouraging people and teaching them to place their faith in Christ alone?
Point to scripture and tell me where the Apostles were selling trinkets to the faithful...
You described a purpose for Elisha's axe to float. There is nothing comparable with the Bible gushing oil.Elisha made an ax head float so it could be returned, but people see stuff like this and instantly imply something evil about it. If it isn’t a hoax (I really hope it isn’t) then how exactly is it leading people astray?

Thank you for replying but I've researched this quite a bit already and I am convinced that this is real. Pastor Johnny and Pastor Jerry recently asked their friend Dr. Kevin Zadai what to do........... because they are up to seventeen gallons daily!
If it's 10W30 I could use 5 quarts for my car.
