The latter rain is clearly the 2nd comming of Jesus.
James 5:7 "Therefore be patient, brethren, until the COMING OF THE LORD. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains. 8 You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the COMING OF THE LORD is near.

"The Latter Rain was a post-war movement within Pentecostal Christianity which remains controversial to this day." www.en.wikipedia.org
Outside of Billy Graham and Oral Roberts being two extraordinarily well known ministers, the movement has been so scattered, with many of the original followers disavowing involvement, it's difficult to know who splintered off and in what direction!

In modern (especially American) usage, "latter rain" usually refers to a controversial theology that was popular in Pentecostalism starting in the late 40s and has profoundly impacted the modern Charismatic movement.

It was a rain in ancient Israel that was of great importance to the crops. That is ALL (emphasis only) it means to me.
