  1. Shavuoth The Promise Of The Filling Of The Spirit

  2. What Is Shavuoth? Shavuoth marks the giving of the Law Celebrates the manifestation of God’s presence on Mt. Sinai Acts 2:1 – “sumpleroo” = “to completely fulfill Shavuoth is one of the three pilgrimage festivals “Hag Hashavuoth” = The Festival of Weeks “Pentecost,” “petekoste” = Fifty

  3. What Is Shavuoth? “Hag Hakatzir” = The Feast of Harvest The only Jewish festival without a precisely fixed date Lev. 23:15, “the day after the Sabbath” a. Pharisees – counted from the 1st day of Passover b. Sadducees – counted from the 1st Sunday after the first Sabbath of Passover

  4. What Is Shavuoth? “ZmanMattanToratainu” = “the season of the giving of our Torah” The Torah reading for this festival is Exodus 19-20 This passage records God’s giving of the Law to Israel; and His establishing the Mosaic Covenant with them

  5. What Happened? The events transpired around 9:00 AM (2:15) “in one place” – the upper room (1:13) -- the Temple (2:5) “house” (vs.2) – the upper room, or Temple “each one of them” (vs.3) – 120 believers -- 12 apostles 1. 1:26; 2:14 – the 12 apostles 2. 2:7 – “are not all these that speak Galileans?”

  6. The Symbol of Wind The sound of “the rushing of a mighty wind” Hebrew “ruach,” Greek “pneuma” = “wind,” “breath,” “spirit” Genesis 1:1-2 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”

  7. The Symbol of Wind Genesis 2:7 “The Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living being”

  8. The Symbol of Wind Ezekiel 37:9-10 “…Prophecy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breath upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived…”

  9. The Symbol of Wind John 3:5-8 “Yeshua answered, Truly, truly, I say unto you, Except one be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto you, You must be born again.”

  10. The Symbol of Wind John 3:5-8 “The wind blows where it will, and you hear the sound thereof, but know not where it comes from, and where it goes; so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”

  11. The Symbol of Wind Like Genesis 1, here in Acts 2 we have a new creation Like Genesis 2, here in Acts 2 God is breathing life into the believers Like John 3, here in Acts 2 God is providing new life for the believers The creative power of God inaugurates a new era of spiritual life

  12. The Symbol of Fire Like the sound of a violent rushing wind, fire was also one of the phenomena that was present on Mt. Sinai at the giving of the Law A sizeable mass that resembled a fire, clearly visible, yet not physically felt appeared. It then began to divide up into smaller “tongues” of flames of fire that then rested upon each apostle

  13. The Symbol of Fire “And a voice sounded forth from out of the midst of the fire which had flowed from heaven, a most marvelous and awful voice, the flame being endowed with articulate speech in a language familiar to the hearers, which expressed its words with such clearness and distinctness that the people seemed rather to be seeing than hearing it. And the law testifies to the accuracy of my statement, where it is written, "And all the people beheld the voice most evidently." Philo of Alexandria

  14. The Symbol of Fire The Fire was the Shekinah Glory: The light of Genesis 1 The “smoking furnace, and a flaming torch” in Genesis 15 The cloud by day and pillar of fire by night Ezekiel 9-11 BrithHadashah appearances

  15. The Symbol of Fire Ezekiel 1:4 “As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.”

  16. The Filling of the Spirit Acts 2 is in fulfillment of what Yohanan predicted in Matthew 3:11 This also fulfilled Messiah promise given on Passover, and during his post-resurrection presence – Acts 1:8 To be filled with the Spirit is to be “controlled” by the Spirit

  17. The Filling of the Spirit The phrase “filled with the Spirit” occurs 14 times in the BrithHadasha 4 refer to the period before Shavuoth, Acts 2 1 is in Ephesians 9 in the Book of Acts In every case in the Book of Acts filling of the Spirit results in verbal testimony of Messiah

  18. The Filling of the Spirit Acts 2:4 Acts 4:8 Acts 4:31 Acts 6:3 Acts 7:55 Acts 9:17 Acts 11:24 Acts 13:9, 52

  19. How To Be Filled With The Spirit Filling of the Spirit is endowment by the Spirit for specific task Filling of the Spirit is directly related to testifying to the grace of God Filling of the Spirit results from prayer in accordance with the will of God
