"Pentecost: We Are Living in Those Days"

Send us a text

Acts 2:1-4 is probably the most controversial and disputed passage in the entire Bible, has been for over 2,000 years. So, do not be offended if everyone does not agree with your interpretation of it. I will begin by noting the two words that most confuse and conflict people: Pentecost and Tongues. I will cover Pentecost in this chapter and tongues in the next. Remember, these are Bible words so we need to come to some understanding of them. God put them in the Bible for our own good.

What is presented in these next two chapters may seem complicated and may require several readings and much prayer and meditation to get the revelation of it, but I have tried to make it as clear as possible. And today’s church world needs some clarity on this matter; half are against the Pentecostal experience and tongues and many make altogether too much of it.

Every sentence in this chapter on Pentecost that you’re now reading is important; therefore, study it carefully. I am taking these important two words in Acts 2:1-4, then using the rest of the Bible to explain them. I’m taking it slowly and carefully because Acts 2:1-4 is the foundation of the rest of Acts, the entire New Testament, and the Church Age. This is the platform from which the church was launched. We must get this right in the beginning. If we don’t we will never hit our target of becoming the Model Church. If your aim is off a milli centimeter at the gun, the bullet will be way off target 100 yards away.

Pentecost means fifty and tongues means languages. The Day of Pentecost was the annual feast of the Jews set up by God in the Old Testament. It represents and memorializes abundance and the blessings of God; it had to do with the harvest of crops. Pentecost is an appropriate name for what happened in Acts 2 where we see a great harvest of souls “from every nation under heaven” being saved. Pentecost happened 50 days after Passover, the Day of Atonement when Jesus was crucified as the Lamb of God. Jesus poured out His blood and 50 days later He poured out the Spirit to bring in the harvest of souls for whom He had died.
