PENTECOST WAS THE DAY (50 DAYS AFTER CHRIST WAS NAILED TO THE CROSS) THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME UPON THE DISCIPLES.
HOWEVER, IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN AGAIN, WHEN GOD'S ELECT WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S HEADQUARTERS.
PENTECOST IN THE GREEK MEANS FIFTY.
LET'S GO TO THE WORD.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost (50th day) was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
ONE ACCORD = ONE MIND.
2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
CLOVEN TONGUES = GOING IN MANY DIRECTIONS.
IN OTHER WORDS, EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.
2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
THESE LANGUAGES WERE NOT UNKNOWN TONGUES.
2:5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
2:6 Now when this was noised (heard) abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
CONFOUNDED = STUNNED.
EVERYONE HEARD GOD'S MESSAGE THAT CAME OUT OF THE DISCIPLES' MOUTH IN HIS OWN LANGUAGE.
THIS IS THE EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
2:7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, 'Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans ?
2:8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born ?
THEY HEARD GOD'S MESSAGE EVEN IN THEIR OWN DIALECT.
THEY WERE AMAZED OF HOW COULD THIS BE POSSIBLE.
2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia.
PARTHIANS = INDIA.
MESOPOTAMIA = TURKISH EMPIRE.
CAPPADOCIA = PROVINCES OF ASIA MINOR.
ELAMITES = BABYLON.
2:10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,
PHRYGIA = ASIA MINOR.
PAMPHYLIA = EVERY TRIBE OF ASIA MINOR.
STRANGERS = SOJOURNERS FROM ROME.
PROSELYTE = A GENTILE WHO CAME OVER TO THE JEWS' RELIGION.
2:11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God."
CRETES = CRETANS.
EVERYONE HEARD IT IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGE.
2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, "What meaneth this ?"
THEY DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON.
2:13 Others mocking said, "These men are full of wine."
THEY WERE SAYING, 'THESE MEN ARE DRUNK'.
IT WAS NINE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING AND IT WAS ILLEGAL TO DRINK WINE BEFORE NOON ON PENTECOST DAY, OR ANY OTHER FEAST.
2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, "Ye men of Judea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words :
I WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT'S GOING ON IF YOU LISTEN.
2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
THEY ARE NOT DRUNK, IT'S ONLY NINE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING.
2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel :
THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN THE LAST DAYS.
MAKE A NOTE OF JOEL 2:28.
2:17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh : and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall dream dreams:
IN OTHER WORDS, BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WILL TEACH AT THE END TIMES.
2:18 And on My servants and on My handmaidens I will pour out in those days of My Spirit ; and they shall prophesy :
IT WILL HAPPEN EXACTLY THE SAME THING AS IT DID ON PENTECOST DAY.
MAKE A NOTE OF MARK 13:11.
2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath ; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke :
WONDERS IN THE HEAVENS, SIGNS UPON EARTH.
2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the LORD come :
IT WILL BE AN ECLIPSE OF THE SUN BECAUSE OF HIS BRIGHTNESS.
2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved.'
SUMMARY : GOD IS TELLING US HERE THAT AT THE END BEFORE HE RETURNS, HE WILL SPEAK THROUGH HIS ELECT IN EVERY LANGUAGE OF THE WORLD, LIKE IT WAS ON PENTECOST DAY.
IT IS NOT AN UNKNOWN LANGUAGE LIKE SOME THINK. EVERYONE WILL UNDERSTAND HIS MESSAGE.
HOW THIS WILL COME TO PASS ? WHEN SATAN IS HERE ON EARTH PLAYING THE ROLE OF CHRIST, GOD WILL SPEAK THROUGH GOD'S ELECT TO WARN THE WORLD. NOT ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SPEAK IF YOU ARE ONE OF GOD'S ELECT WILL BE UNFORGIVABLE (MATT. 10:17-20).
GOD BLESS
