Acts 2:6 ~ each one was hearing them speak in his own language.

The Wind of the Holy Spirit

Like Moses

Fire was seen and did not consume.

Our God is an Awesome God

He Reigns!

Acts 2:6

  

And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language.  

Today in Jerusalem, this is a model of the 2nd Temple with a close-up of Solomon's Porch.

Acts 5:12 -15

      

Now many signs and wonders were regularly done among the people by the hands of the apostles. And they were all together in Solomon's Portico. 13 None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem. 14 And more than ever believers were added to the Lord 

multitudes of both men and women, 15 so that they even carried out the sick into the streets and laid them on cots and mats, that as Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on some of them.       

The number of sacrifices, recorded at the Temple, would number around 2 million participants on High Holy Days.    About 400,000 at each Temple Holy Day Service, several times a day.

Multitudes had been an aspect Jesus had known all His Life.

Luke 2:11-14

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” 

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”

Luke 23:27

27 And there followed Him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for Him.

Joel 3:14 

Multitudes, multitudes, in the valley of decision! For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.

People will forever disagree if the day is all at once, or like the people who come back from near death experiences - immediately. Time belongs to God. It is His invention. I suppose He can use time any way He wants. We, who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus, will find out what time is all about in Heaven when we get there. 

To do the Post, the Scripture is picked out in advance and this is an old Post I am rearranging. The Old Post maybe merely a verse. Or Photos. The interesting Wonder of God, today, Edward and I were talking about time in Heaven. Edward has a theory, when we die, we will be with our loved ones, even if they are living, because time is anything God would care for time to be. In Edward's theory, you will meet your unborn great and great-great-grandchildren. The theory is a dear, kind, heartwarming theory! Heaven is where you are never without the ones you love.  And you have to see the point about Love and God.

Certainly, it is far more cheerful than ghosts and haunting and all things creepy. Or Granny peering through a window of Heaven. Yet, Jesus has given us a concept of Heaven. We find in Scriptures, Our Abba likes clouds. Scriptures have many references. And even time, in Heaven, we have been given a glimpse of God's workings of time in Heaven. Jesus tells us His Salvation gives us a new Heaven. Lucifer is cast out of Heaven. We know Jesus brought us a new Heaven. And so, time has an indication. 

God can do anything.

 He upholds the Universe with the Power of His Word. Can God change time? Yes, Hezekiah learned this. Sarah and Abraham have Issac.  John 6, the boat carrying Jesus and all 12 Disciples, was immediately at the other side. The Theory of Relativity. 

What does the Book of Acts, Chapter 2, 

say about the time when the wood becomes dry?   

 But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel ^{[2nd Chapter of Joel]}:  
 

¹⁷  “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,             
and your young men shall see visions,          

and your old men shall dream dreams;      
¹⁸ even on my male servants and female servants        
  in those days I will pour out my Spirit,  and they shall prophesy.      
 ¹⁹ And I will show wonders in the heavens above          
and signs on the earth below,                    
 blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;   
  ²⁰  the sun shall be turned to darkness        
 and the moon to blood,        
before the day of the Lord comes,       
the great and magnificent day.

  ²¹ And it shall come to pass that everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.’  

Yes, Jesus fed the multitude. 

And for centuries, the Catholic Church has kept Consecrated Hosts weeping human blood from multitudes, multiple centuries ago. To find in this century, there are 4 blood types, with all the Hosts being blood type AB+. 

Jesus has left footprints all over his years and those after witnessing to The Book of Acts. Roman History shows this was something they feared, to various levels, for 300 years.

We find from Josephus, multitudes were part of the Temple on High Holy Days.

Now consider some Jesus miracles, requiring so much faith, the centuries and millenniums prefer to sail past.

Matthew 12:15

Great multitudes followed Him [Jesus], and He healed them all

Luke 4:404

40 And when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

Matthew 15:30 

Large crowds came to Him, bringing the lame 

Great crowds came to him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute and many others, and laid them at his feet; and he healed them.

Jesus spoke the personal language, we know intimately. Jesus spoke to Mary and Martha after Lazarus died. Jesus is personally your Savior.

Acts 2:6 

each one was hearing them speak in his own language

Mark 7:3

After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue

Abba, Father

We have so many memories of Easter.

Help us to give our family and those unborn

new and valuable memories of Easter.

Next year, I hope to collect photos and do a book of photos

of Easter.

Jesus, You are the Reason for the Season.

In Your Mercy and Graciousness,

we find Strength in Jesus to have Joy.

To look to new days.

To plan on goodness

set aside what irks

to find what is 

the Pleasure of God.

Let Your Love be our Path

Your mercy, what we bring to our lives.

Let Your Peace pervade these times of change being made.

In our Faith to have Hope.

In our Hope and Faith to have Love.

And then our lives will show

we have You Dwelling in us.

Know us. We welcome You, Father God, to know every aspect, every cell, every hope

and every second. Be with us. Thank You.

Dwell in the lives of those we love.

Help them live life wisely and with Love.

Help us to seek You first,

Help us to put Your Love on all we do,

Your Mercy in our words and actions.

Prayer can be very, very personal

and even needs to be, to have God speak our language to Him: 

In my life, You have been with me

when my parents divorced,

when my hair was used to pull me out of bed,

when a parent gave me my deceased daughter's gifts for Christmas.

When people have left.

Coldness is not Love.

Yet, should not make us cold.

And we turn life around each day, to make life a blessing

in Jesus Christ.

Abuse is not Love.

Abuse cannot be fed.

Yet Mercy is the Truth when we

seek Reconciliation that would Please You.

And understand

not all things are

Reconciled until Heaven.

Even our dreams of Heaven,

will tell us this Reconciliation. 

Pain is meant in life 

to understand the difference between

earth and Heaven.

To aim higher.

To walk the path of welcome and Love.

And know the real mediator 

between

God and man

is 

Jesus Christ. 

Pain is explained and examined in Your Word

Your Word is Real.

Sobriety is important in living pain free.

God answers all Prayers.

And we have to be aware and awake

to find the Blessings

and the right path.

You have explained to us to give to one another

what we would want to receive.

We can give You our hearts

and say we did our best.

And know Your Pleasure.

You give us the Joy

of developing ourselves

to be 

Your Child.

Flawed, Precious, Chosen and Forgiven.

Beautiful in ways,

Beautiful in heart,

Beautiful to love,

Beautiful to hope,

Beautiful in

Jesus Christ.

Lord 

and 

Savior.

All our Alleluias are in Jesus. Amen.

Luke 2:12-14 ~ appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 

Luke 2:12-14

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14“Glory to God in the highest heaven,

and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Pretty familiar words. Words to remember and rejoice.

And this is familiar:

Isaiah 6

I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;

the whole earth is full of his glory!”

4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke. 5And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts!”

Lord Jesus, please always cover us with Your Righteousness.
So many things today are understood more clearly. So many archaeological discoveries in the last years. The man healed of blindness is healed by Jesus in the way we know today of brain injury recovery. The boat immediately at the other side - quantum physics. The Hubble Telescope explains smoke in the Temple and Heaven.

Surely, we must see the Throne of God in new understanding. With glee - God is about the beauty of the earth we know and the magnificence of the Universe. Glory of God, man mimics in things like fireworks and rock operas and Heavenly Choirs. God fully understands why we would turn the radio up as loud as we could to be shaken by sound.

Heaven might be baffling to the chariot and covered wagon people - yet we have an understanding of the Roar of Magnificence.

One of the Twelve Open Gates of Heaven

Ezekiel 43

Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing east. 2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was coming from the east. And the sound of his coming was like the sound of many waters, and the earth shone with his glory. 3 And the vision I saw was just like the vision that I had seen when he came to destroy the city, and just like the vision that I had seen by the Chebar canal. And I fell on my face. 4 As the glory of the Lord entered the temple by the gate facing east, 5 the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the Lord filled the temple.

6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard one speaking to me out of the temple, 7 and he said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the people of Israel forever.

Matthew 17

2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.

Light of God. Light of the world. Light of Heaven. Light of Nations.

Light of mankind.

These are passages of Scripture  which barely begin to reflect the Glory of God. From Daniel, Ezekiel, Isaiah and Paul - these men of Scripture have been this close to Our Father God Almighty in His Kingdom. John reports in Revelation the Father shone with His face not seen to John.

We read Father God has dotted Heaven with objects we readily understand, like trees and bright, shining water running right by His Throne.

Jordan River

Revelation 22

Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb, 2 in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Not just the resplendence of the Seraphim above our Lord Father God. And the awe of the Universe bring forth stars - we learn of the importance of all our senses.

Revelation 8

And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. Then the angel took the censer and filled it with the fire of the altar, and threw it to the earth; and there followed peals of thunder and sounds and flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

We know today our magnetosphere connects all the earth's lightning and the sun's flairs are intact to our lightning.

Revelation 4 has an amazing, brilliant splendor - spectacular, exaltedness of our God.

John sees a door standing and open to Heaven. The people our Father God has returned from Heaven tell us not just a door - indeed a door - a dimension falls away.

After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven!

And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

This is a familiar voice - the voice of Jesus saying breakfast is fixed on the beach after Jesus has Triumphed over Crucifixion. A Voice of Love. Come up here!

Like the journey of Paul, who was "caught up to the third heaven" and "heard inexpressible things, things that man is not permitted to tell" 2 Corinthians 12:2

At once I was in the Spirit, and behold!

A throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.

And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.

Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their heads.

From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder,
and before the throne were burning seven torches of fire,
which are the seven spirits of God,
and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.

These God asked of Solomon to place on the Temple Curtain.


And around the throne, on each side of the throne,
are four living creatures,
full of eyes in front and behind:
the first living creature like a lion,
the second living creature like an ox,
the third living creature with the face of a man,
and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.


And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say,

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,

who was and is and is to come!”

Creation - chosen, created, special, with a purpose of God. All of creation waits. Birds, flowers, fish, trees, animals - great and small. For the revealing of the Sons of God.

Romans 8

This present time - not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us. For the anxious longing all of creation waits eagerly for the revealing of the sons of God.

God answers us - if life is a test to reveal our hearts - God has subjected us to hope.

20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it, in hope.

Life is sufficient each day when we look to the blessings. And still, each day has mundane aspects to maintain a regular life - this is when faith and hope call to us, unseen. We build a life in the small moments.

Abba, Father, 

Father God, I want to be in that number!

And with each day, draw our hearts to 

be

a pleasing, inviting, favorable place

for Your Holy Spirit to dwell!!!

 Faith, hope, Love, Joy. In Jesus, Amen.

We believe You , Jesus,

You are Joy to be known.

Amen
