GOD Morning! June 6


Jesus, Wait for Me!


Acts 2:1-21


2 And when the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place,


2 When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting.


3 And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them.


4 And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression.


5 Now there were then residing in Jerusalem Jews, devout and God-fearing men from every country under heaven.


6 And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them [the apostles] speaking in his own [particular] dialect.


7 And they were beside themselves with amazement, saying, Are not all these who are talking Galileans?


8 Then how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own (particular) dialect to which we were born?


9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and [the province of] Asia,


10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and the transient residents from Rome, both Jews and the proselytes [to Judaism from other religions],


11 Cretans and Arabians too—we all hear them speaking in our own native tongues [and telling of] the mighty works of God!


12 And all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean?


13 But others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet [intoxicating] wine.


14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say.


15 For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day;


16 But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel:


17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams.


18 Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God’s kingdom].


19 And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor;


20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes—that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned [day].


21 And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord—Christ] shall be saved.
