  explain this to you listen carefully to what I
  say. 15 These men are not drunk, as you suppose.
  It's only nine in the morning!

• Now Peter is the only apostle speaking.
• Did he speak one language and every hearer hear
  in his own language? Or did Peter speak in
  Hebrew, which all Jews could understand as their
  second, if not their first language?
• I think it was the latter. The three signs the
  sounded like a violent wind, the likeness of fire
  on the apostles, and the twelve, all Galileans,
  speaking fifteen or more languages, had gotten
  their attention and convinced most of them that
  Peter was speaking for God.

  of the day especially on main feasts such as
  Pentecost

18

• 2v14-15
• THIRD HOUR of the day
• 9 am in the morning
• 4. Peters most convincing argument against being
  drunk was the stirring sermon he is about to
  deliver

19

• 2v14
• Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to my WORDS
• Whatever God wants people to understand about
  salvation, He USUALLY communicates through WORDS

20

• Acts 216-18 Peter continues
• 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet
  Joel 17 "'In the last days, God says, I will
  pour out my Spirit on all people.
• Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young
  men will see visions, your old men will dream
  dreams.
• 18 Even on my servants, both men and women, I
  will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they
  will prophesy.

21

• 2v16
• Peter gives the INSPIRED interpretation of what
  the CROWD SAW and HEARD

22

• 2v16
• Peter gives the REASON
• why they received the gift of languages
• It was a FULFILLMENT of a PREDICTION by the
  prophet JOEL

23

• 2v16
• Peter gives the REASON
• THIS IS THAT
• Spoken by the prophet JOEL

24

• 2v17-18

25
Discussion Question

• According to verse 17, when did these last
  days start?
• When was the prophecy to be fulfilled?

26

• 2v17-18
• The SPIRIT to be POURED OUT in the LAST DAYS
• Daniel 2 Spoke about the kingdom of God being
  established in the
• LAST DAYS

27

• 2v17-18
• The SPIRIT to be POURED OUT in the LAST DAYS
• Hebrews 11-2 Speaks about speaking through the
  SON in the LAST DAYS

28

• 2v17-18
• The SPIRIT to be POURED OUT in the LAST DAYS
• Matthew 1615-19 Jesus speaks about the kingdom
  being the CHURCH

29

• 2v17-18
• The SPIRIT to be POURED OUT in the LAST DAYS
• Therefore the church, His Kingdom His body was to
  be established and we are in that relationship
  and living in the
• LAST DAYS

30

• 2v17-18
• The SPIRIT to be POURED OUT in the LAST DAYS
• NO ONE according to Jesus in Matthew 2436-44
  will KNOW when the LAST DAYS will end except God
  the Father

31

• 2v17-18
• In this prophecy by the Holy Spirit and
  interpreted by Peter,
• he said that the SPIRIT would be POURED OUT on
  ALL FLESH

32

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Did he mean that EVERY ONE would receive
• The Pouring out miraculous power?

33

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Did he mean that ALL HUMAN BEINGS
• would receive miraculous power?

34

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• ALL is determined by the context
• John 1232 I will draw ALL men unto me
• Is Jesus saying that ALL will be saved NO

35

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Jesus meant that ALL classes and kinds of people
  would be drawn to Him

36

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Joels prophecy has a similar application NOT ALL
  people but ALL classes and kinds of people could
  share in the miraculous gifts given by the Spirit

37

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Joels prophecy did not even mean ALL Christians
• See 1 Corinthians 1219-20

38

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• DID ALL Christians IN THE EARLY CHURCH RECEIVE
  MIRACLULOUS GIFTS?
• See 1 Corinthians 1219-20
• all apostles
• all teachers
• all prophets
• do all work miracles

39

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• 1 Corinthians 1219-20
• Are all apostles - NO
• Are all prophets - NO
• Are all teachers - NO
• Do all work miracles - NO

40

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH
• Therefore NOT ALL but ALL classes and kinds of
  people
• Jews often thought in racial terms
• But Paul said Galatians 328
• neither JEW nor GREEK

41
On the Apostles First, Then Through Them to Others

• Some have used this prophecy to show that the
  baptism of the Holy Spirit was for men and women,
  young and old.
• But what began with the baptism of the Holy
  Spirit on the apostles, when shared with others
  through the laying on of their hands, was an
  extension of the outpouring of the Spirit and
  thus fulfilled the prophecy.

42

• 2v17-18
• How Did God distribute the out pouring upon ALL
  FLESH in the 1st century
• First to APOSTLES Acts 21-4
• THEN THROUGH the APOSTLES
• PREACHING
• (we receive indwelling SPIRIT)

43

• 2v17-18
• THEN THROUGH
• the APOSTLES
• LAYING HANDS on some
• they passed on
• (Miraculous gifts)

44
To and From the Apostles

• It was not necessary for every miracle worker or
  prophet to receive a baptism in the Holy Spirit
  directly in order to have the special powers. But
  it was necessary for an apostle to lay his hands
  on them to give the power.
• We learn from Acts 6 and 8 that the only way the
  Holy Spirits miraculous power could work through
  those who were not apostles of Christ was for one
  of these apostles to lay his hands on them.

45

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH in the 1st century
• To males (your sons) and females (your daughters)
  Acts 219
• To older people (your old men) and younger people
  (young men)

46

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH in the 1st century
• So when God said on all flesh he meant on all
  categories and types of people

47

• 2v17-18
• ALL FLESH in the 1st century
• God placed a limit on the time and purpose when
  these gifts were to be used
• 1 Corinthians 138-10

48

• 2v17-18
• Miracles used to confirm the partial revelation
  in 1st century
• These would cease with the full or complete
  revelation available
• 1 Corinthians 138-10
