Pause for thought

The coming of the Holy Spirit was by the predetermined purpose of God. The Apostles and disciples were gathered together in one place, and they were of one accord, Greek Holothuroideamadon meaning unanimous, being in agreement, group unity, having one mind and purpose. Strongs #3661:

The rushing mighty wind reminds us of the felt yet unseen power of God John 3:8.

This is the only record in the New Testament of cloven tongues like fire that rested upon each one, and was the fulfilment of the prophecy of John the Baptist concerning Jesus Matt 3:11.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak as the Spirit gave them utterance, God put words in their mouths. Notice the tongues were understood by the hearers because what they heard was in the hearers mother tongue. They each heard in their own languages the wonderful works of God. Paul teaches in 1 Corinthians 14:2 that a believer who speaks in an unknown tongue speaks to God, these were the praises towards God the devout Jews were hearing in their own languages Acts2:8.

Peter led by the Holy Spirit Quotes from Joel 2:28-32 which is a last days prophecy for-telling the events starting with the day of Pentecost and the events that are yet to happen at the coming of Christ. Joel’s prophecy was only partially fulfilled at Pentecost and through the generations until now, but we could be the final generation that sees the whole prophecy fulfilled in our life time?

Verses to remember

And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophecy, Your young men shall dream dreams. And on My menservants and on my maid servants I will pour out my Spirit in those days; And they shall prophecy. Act 2:17-18. N.K.J.T.
