The LORD our Passover

Being that the accounts of Acts, written by Luke, in the continuation of all that we have so far covered, I must of necessity continue in it through chapter 2. Chapter 2 because after it is recorded the workings of God and Christ in the person of the Spirit of Holiness and Truth through the believers and receivers of the ontological Spiritual essence of Christ Jesus, restored to all who will receive His revelation. On the way to becoming Sons of God, Sons of the New Covenant of promise first seen in Genesis 3:15 then 12:3 and a few more times there after in the Psalms and the Prophets, where it is called and labeled as being New. New because it is after the completion or fulfillment of days realized in Christ Jesus as the prophet like unto Moses. In the person of the ancient of Days, and the phrase of the gentile priest's of the Most High God, Jesus is the everlasting one, the for ever, forever and the end of days as seen in the OT. Which simply means that these days all find there completion in Him and Through Him.

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, (a fictional person meaning believer) of all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the day in which He was taken up, after that He through the Holy Ghost had given commandments to the apostles whom He had chosen: (called out from among the unrighteous duplicated again in 2Corinthians 6:11 through 7:4 as Israel was a called out people or nation) To whom also He showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, you have heard from Me. For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. (Joel 2:28-32)

When they therefore were come together, they asked of Him, saying, Lord, will You at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? He said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father has put in His own power. But you shall receive power, (as in the right to become sons of God again, John 1:12, and) after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses of Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and the uttermost part of the earth. When He had spoken these things, while they beheld, He was taken up; and a cloud received Him out of their sight. And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, You men of Galilee, why stand you gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as you have seen Him go into heaven. 

Then returned they to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 
 
At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. It was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, “The field of blood.” For it is written in the book of Psalms, “Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric (office) let another take.” Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that He was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of His resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, You, Lord, which know the hearts of all men, show whether of these two You have chosen, that he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles. 

When the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared upon them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 
 
There were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own tongue and language. They were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What means this? Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.
