「新族類」是一群被預言將在末世教會出現、完成最後大復興的精銳基督徒。
這個預言由先知甘保羅（Paul Cain）發出，
自80年代末期於葡萄園（Vineyard）公開分享以後，
廣泛為世界各地許多靈恩教會、先知、基督徒領袖所相信及接受，
包括John Wimber、Rick Joyner、Jack Deere、Mike Bickle、Bob Jones、Bobby Conner等。
異象的內容
中文翻譯版本
三十年前主給了保羅一個異象，直至今日，它仍然一再出現超過一百次。
這個異象是關於未日的，全美所有運動場館坐滿成千上萬的人。
在異象中，人們得醫治，數以千計神跡因著耶穌基督的名而發生。
人們一群一群轉向主，全國都在復興中，甚至全地都像在轉向基督。
電視新聞在報導死人復活及神跡醫治等真人真事。
沒有一個未信主的記者可以走近台上那些男人。
他們不知道這些人是誰。
保羅用「無名氏」來形容他們。
他聽見電視新聞報導員說：
今天晚上沒有體育新聞，
因為所有體育館，公園，競技場全都用作大型復興聚會，
裡面擠滿高喊「耶穌是主，耶穌是主」的人。
在這些異象中，保羅看見台上的人服侍三晝夜無需進食，喝水或換衣服。
超自然能力支持著他們如此事奉。
在異象中，保羅站在生命的十字路口上，
看見一個告示牌寫著：「約珥軍隊受訓中」人們受訓如何服從耶穌而行，
他們學會忍耐與堅持，擁有 神的能力，成就了一切，他們仍能站立抵擋仇敵。
「他們會有基督的心思意念。」保羅說。
「他們將會在屬天的呼召中有份，成為新族類， 神可畏的冠軍人馬。」
這些事奉充滿著對耶穌的熱情及聖靈的能力，
他們的強大衝擊使黑暗魔軍甚是畏懼。
保羅說，在教會處於老底嘉時期，沉睡，冷淡的時候，
神正在秘密預備一支軍隊，摧毀仇敵的營壘，
並且帶著 神的能力，純正，未玷污的信仰前進。
「祂會使用一群自願放下一切，從世界，肉體，魔鬼分別出來的人成就此事。」
保羅說：
「他們會覺悟到現在就是末世，墮落而混亂，
並且末日將會發生一些完全不同的事情。
正如當日門徒必須完全奉獻一切開始此事，
在末日我們也必須以同等的委身完成使命。」
「約珥二章中所形容的約珥軍隊是神的軍隊，
不是一些人所以為，是邪惡的軍隊。
他們是那些『腳是鐵的，與泥不能攙雜』
──只有 神的智慧，不會模仿其他 神的子民。
教會中一些明星會跌倒。
主會擁有一個聖潔，受膏的器皿在祂的國中作先驅，
如此，沒有任何人能自誇，一切榮耀單單歸給 神。」
英文原文版本
About 30 years ago the Lord gave Paul a vision that has occurred to Paul more than 100 times and still reoccurs to this day.
It is a vision of the last days when sports stadiums all over the United States are filled with thousands of people. In this vision, people are being healed and miracles are happening to thousands in the name of Jesus Christ. People are turning to the Lord in droves and the whole nation is in revival. It seemed the whole earth was turning to Christ.
Television news reporters are broadcasting stories of resurrections and miracle healings. None of the secular reporters could get near the men on the platform. They did not know who the men were. Paul described them as "almost faceless men." He hears a TV anchorman saying, "There are no sporting events to report tonight because all the stadiums, ball parks and arenas are being used for large revival meetings and are filled with people crying, ''Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord."
In these visions, Paul saw these men minister for three days and nights without food, water or change of clothing. Supernatural strength enabled them to continue for these long periods.
In the vision, Paul is standing at the crossroads of life and sees a billboard that says, "Joel's army now in training." People are being trained to walk in obedience to Jesus. They have learned patience and endurance, have the power of God and having done all, they know how to stand against the enemy.
"They will have the mind of Christ," Paul said. "They will partake of the heavenly calling and be a new breed, God's dread champions." Those ministries will be filled with such passion for Jesus and the power of the Spirit that the host of darkness will dread their impact.
Paul said in the midst of the Laodicean church age of lethargy and apathy, that God was preparing in hiddenness an army to pull down enemy strongholds, and go forth in the power of God and have pure and undefiled religion.
"He's going to do this with a people who have stripped themselves and separated themselves from the world, the flesh and the devil," Paul said. "They will realize the end time is here and that things are in a mess and things at the end time are different. Just as it required total sacrifice on the part of the disciples to begin this thing, it will require an equal commitment from us to complete the task in the end times. Joe's mighty army, as described in Joel Ch. 2 is the army of God - not a wicked army, as some have thought. They are the ones with 'feet of iron not mixed with clay', with the wisdom of God alone, not imitators of other men of God. Some of the superstars of the Church will fall. The Lord will have an army of holy anointed vessels to usher in His kingdom so that no one man can take credit for it. It will be to the glory of God alone."
