ACTS 2 V 16, 17 & 18 IN THE FINAL PART OF THE DAYS

[Patiently waiting for Truth]

ACTS 2 V 16 , 17  & 18.

 On the contrary, this is what was said through the prophet Joel: ¹⁷  ‘“And in the last days,” God says, “I will pour out some of my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy and your young men will see visions and your old men will dream dreams,l ¹⁸  and even on my male slaves and on my female slaves I will pour out some of my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy

Jerusalem had the end of it's 'last days' in 70 C. E. But prior to that a 'miracle' happened.  Acts 2 v 1 through 11.

 Now while the day of the Festival of Pentecost was in progress, they were all together at the same place. ²  Suddenly there was a noise from heaven, just like that of a rushing, stiff breeze, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. ³  And tongues as if of fire became visible to them and were distributed, and one came to rest on each one of them, ⁴  and they all became filled with holy spirit and started to speak in different languages, just as the spirit enabled them to speak.⁵  At that time devout Jews from every nation under heaven were staying in Jerusalem. ⁶  So when this sound occurred, a crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. ⁷  Indeed, they were utterly amazed and said: “See here, all these who are speaking are Gal·i·leʹans, are they not? ⁸  How is it, then, that each one of us is hearing his own native language? ⁹  Parʹthi·ans, Medes,g and Eʹlam·ites, the inhabitants of Mes·o·po·taʹmi·a, Ju·deʹa and Cap·pa·doʹci·a, Ponʹtus and the province of Asia, ¹⁰  Phrygʹi·a and Pam·phylʹi·a, Egypt and the regions of Libʹy·a near Cy·reʹne, sojourners from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,j ¹¹  Creʹtans, and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages about the magnificent things of God.

We are again in 'the last days', so why would you be surprised if God should pour out some of HIS SPIRIT on a true Anointed group of humans. 

Where is your faith ? Do you no longer believe in God's power ? Do you no longer believe that God can do 'miracles' ?

Your GB have admitted to NOT BEING INSPIRED OF HOLY SPIRIT.

Yet here we have in scripture, God's promise that HE WILL POUR OUT SOME OF HIS SPIRIT in the 'last days'. 

Are we in those LAST DAYS or not ? Do you expect God to act or not ? Or are you just physical men ? 

Have you lost your 'spiritual eyes' ? Did you in fact even have 'spiritual eyes' ? Are you relying on men and not on God through Christ ?

Are we in those LAST DAYS or not?

The book of Joel has some very interesting prophecies about events that will happen in the last days of our time. And the outpouring of the spirit will happen according to Joel after those events. And those events have yet not taken place. So the outpouring of the spirit is still some years a head. For example:

Joel 2:16 could refer to Jesus Christ's marriage.:

"Gather the people; sanctify the congregation. Collect the old men; gather the children and nursing infants. Let the bridegroom go out from his inner chamber, and the bride from her bridal chamber."

Compare that with Revelation 19:7 and the timing relative to the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah.

Revelation 19:7  Let us rejoice and be overjoyed and give him glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself. 8  Yes, it has been granted to her to be clothed with bright, clean, fine linen—.....

Joel 2:25  And I will make compensation to you for the years, that the swarming locust, the unwinged locust, the voracious locust, and the devouring locust have eaten, My great army that I sent among you. 26  You will surely eat to satisfaction, and you will praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has done wonders in your behalf; My people will never again be put to shame.27  And you will have to know that I am in the midst of Israel And that I am Jehovah your God—there is no other! My people will never again be put to shame. 28  After that I will pour out my spirit on every sort of flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, and your young men will see visions.29  And even on my male slaves and female slavesI will pour out my spirit in those days.

30 And I will give wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke. 31  The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the coming of the great and awe-inspiring day of Jehovah.32  And everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved; For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape, just as Jehovah has said, the survivors whom Jehovah calls.”
