Episode notes
Pentecost Fulfills Joel's Promise
- Peter grounds Pentecost in Joel to show the Spirit's pouring is fulfillment of prophecy.
- The outpouring signals the start of the last days and universal proclamation of God's word.
Spirit Poured Out On Everyone
- The Spirit is poured out on 'all flesh' meaning every class and gender receives prophecy and vision.
- This democratizes the Spirit beyond select elders to everyone in the new covenant community.
Apocalyptic Language Means Regime Change
- The apocalyptic language (sun dark, moon to blood) signals a change in cosmic authority, not only literal celestial events.
- Peter sees Christ's ascension and Spirit's pouring as a 'changing of the guard' in salvation history.
