1
The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • Acts 21,2 When the day of Pentecost had come,
    they were all together in one place. And suddenly
    there came from heaven a noise like a violent
    rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where
    they were sitting.
  • John the Baptists prophecy fulfilled
  • Matt 311 - As for me, I baptize you with water
    for repentance, but He who is coming after me is
    mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His
    sandals He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit
    and fire.
  • And that of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself Acts
    11-4
  • Day of Pentecost - annual spring feast when the
    Jews presented the first-fruits of their wheat
    harvest to God.

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • Exod.3422 - You shall celebrate the Feast of

  • Paul gives further reflection on the importance
    of the Holy Spirit being given vs. the Mosaic Law

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • noise like a violent rushing wind
  • wind pneuma, same Greek term as for Spirit
    John 38
  • Coming as violent indicates power
  • Tornado-like?
  • Acts 23,4 And there appeared to them tongues
    as of fire distributing themselves, and they
    rested on each one of them. And they were all
    filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak
    with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them
    utterance.
  • How would you describe tongues as of fire?
  • Like the pillar of fire but consumable Exod
    32-6
  • But unlike the pillar abiding over the entire
    nation of Israel, each one received it
    individually, e.g. cloven or divided.

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • Both wind and fire symbolize the presence of God.
  • And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit
  • In context how do you interpret being filled with
    the Holy Spirit?
  • Under the power of the Spirit.
  • In Acts, this repeatedly refers to proclamation
    of the Gospel.
  • Acts 48, 31 63, 5 755 917 139, 52
  • But as believers Paul has told us to be filled
    with the Holy Spirit
  • Eph 518 - And do not get drunk with wine, for
    that is dissipation, but be filled with the
    Spirit
  • Overall, being filled is being totally
    controlled by the Holy Spirit and thus we bring
    glory as new creations in Christ Jesus to the
    Heavenly Father.
  • This process was ongoing and essential to the
    early chruch age.
  • and began to speak with other tongues

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • How about this as an outward sign of Gods power
    within?
  • And the Jews were always looking for a sign
    werent they?
  • And these were other tongues, known languages.
  • Purpose was to authenticate and further the truth
    of the Gospel.
  • Reflect back on Gen 11 where God confused the
    languages.

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • Acts 25,6 Now there were Jews living in
    Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under
    heaven. And when this sound occurred, the crowd
    came together, and were bewildered because each
    one of them was hearing them speak in his own
    language.
  • God-fearing men.
  • Their origin is described in Acts 29,10
  • Was the sound the wind or the speaking in
    tongues?
  • How big was the crowd?
  • 3000 became saved that day Acts 241
  • But the temple area could hold up to 200,000

The Acts of the Apostles
Acts 21-13 Coming of the Holy Spirit
  • Although they were bewildered, apparently there
    was
  • no one who didnt understand.
  • Acts 27,8 They were amazed and astonished,
    saying, Why, are not all these who are speaking
    Galileans? And how is it that we each hear them
    in our own language to which we were born?
  • bewildered, amazed, astonished what more
    description do we need!
  • The large majority of disciples were Galileans
  • Matt 2673 - A little later the bystanders came
    up and said to Peter, Surely you too are one of
    them for even the way you talk gives you away.
  • Rude, unpolished, and unlearned men - differences
    easily detected

  • Can you picture yourself there? Is there
    anything less miraculous today in terms of the
    Holy Spirit indwelling us to bring glory to the
    Lord?
