Many teach and dream of this day where a double portion of the Ruach Hakodesh (Holy Spirit) is given but are not willing to have their hearts in one accord with those men that were added to the kingdom in this Feast day. Many are calling on a church even when there was no church at that time. All Jewish references have been deleted from these letters written by the Disciples. Constantine and His anti Jewish religion did the work of Satan eliminating Judah from the New Testament letters so those wanting to come back to the ancient path had no clues. YHVH knew this from the beginning and had sent prophets to leave it in the Scriptures. This is what Paul told those focused in the gift of tongues in 1 Cor 14, to seek the gift of Prophesy not that we become prophets but that Yahshua can speak to us through thr prophet We have to be in one mind at least with them. Keeping the commandments, statues and ordinances in order to bring others into the same example and they can see Yeshua in us. Please pray and seek the Spirit for guidance and wisdom as we read the book of Acts. Shalom!
Act 2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Shabu'ot had come, they were all with one mind in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them.4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
5 Now in Yerushalayim there were dwelling Yehuḏim, dedicated men from every nation under the heaven.
We have to take note that all these men were Jews that came to Jerusalem to celebrate Shavuot on that day. The Apostles have been waiting for this day since the Messiah Yahshua ascended. They spent 50 days preaching about Messiah and this was a glorious day. They were all Jews not gentiles. They were Torah keepers just like Messiah was. They were Torah keepers. They showed love keeping the commandments. It says dedicated men from every nation in the time. The Jews have been scattered and they knew when to come back to celebrate the feast. They were dedicated to study Torah and keeping the commandments with every feast of YHVH
Act 2:6 And when this sound came to be, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying to each other, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? 8 “And how do we hear, each one in our own language in which we were born? 9 “Parthians and Medes and Ěylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Yehuḏah and Kappadokia, Pontos and Asia, 10 both Phrygia and Pamphulia, Mitsrayim and the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Yehuḏim and converts, 11 “Cretans and Araḇs, we hear them speaking in our own tongues the great deeds of Elohim.” 12 And they were all amazed, and were puzzled, saying to each other, “What does this mean?” 13 And others mocking said, “They have been filled with sweet wine.” 4 But Kĕpha, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said to them, “Men of Yehuḏah and all those dwelling in Yerushalayim, let this be known to you, and listen closely to my words. 15 “For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Yoʼĕl: 17 ‘And it shall be in the last days, says Elohim, that I shall pour out of 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 and also on My male servants and on My female servants I shall pour out My Spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy. 19 ‘And I shall show wonders in the heaven above and signs in the earth beneath: blood and fire and vapour of smoke. 20 ‘The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and splendid day of יהוה.
:21 ‘And it shall be that everyone who calls on the Name of יהוה shall be saved.ʼ1 Footnote: 1Joel 2:28-32, Rom. 10:13.
Act 2:22 “Men of Yisraʼĕl, hear these words: יהושע of Natsareth, a Man from Elohim, having been pointed out to you by mighty works, and wonders, and signs which Elohim did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know, 23 this One, given up by the set purpose and foreknowledge of Elohim, you have impaled and put to death through the hands of lawless men – 24 “Him Elohim raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was impossible that He could be held in its grip. 25 “For Dawiḏ says concerning Him, ‘I saw יהוה before me continually, because He is at my right hand, in order that I should not be shaken.
26 ‘For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation, 27 because You shall not leave my being in the grave, nor shall You give Your Kind One to see corruption.28 ‘You have made known to me the ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.ʼ1 Footnote: 1Ps. 16:8-11.
Act 2:29 “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor Dawiḏ, that he died and was buried,1 and his tomb is with us to this day. Footnote: 1See v. 34.
30 “Being a prophet, then, and knowing that Elohim had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up the Messiah to sit on his throne, 31 foreseeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 “Elohim has raised up this יהושע, of which we are all witnesses. 33 “Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of Elohim, and having received from the Father the promise of the Set-apart Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. 34 “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘יהוה said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, 35 until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” ʼ1 Footnote: 1Ps. 110:1.
36 “Therefore let all the house of Yisraʼĕl know for certain that Elohim has made this יהושע, whom you impaled, both Master and Messiah.” 37 And having heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Kĕpha and the rest of the emissaries, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?” 38 And Kĕpha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of יהושע Messiah for the forgiveness of sins.1 And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit. Footnote: 1See 2:40, 3:19, 3:26.
Act 2:39 “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are far off, as many as יהוה our Elohim shall call.” 40 And with many other words he earnestly witnessed and urged them, saying, “Be saved from this crooked generation.”1 Footnote: 1Jer. 51:6, Phil. 2:15, Rev. 18:4.
Act 2:41 Then those, indeed, who gladly received his word, were immersed. And on that day about three thousand beings were added to them. 42 And they were continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the emissaries, and in the fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers. These men were mostly Jews who were in Jerusalem for the Feast of YHVH as commanded some traveled from other countries to the feast. The bread they broke was not unleavened bread and they fellowship as they taught.
Act 2:43 And fear came upon every being, and many wonders and signs were being done through the emissaries. 44 And all those who believed were together, and had all in common,
45 and sold their possessions and property, and divided them among all, as anyone might have need. 46 And day by day, continuing with one mind in the Set-apart Place, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart, 47 praising Elohim and having favour with all the people. And the Master added to the assembly those who were being saved, day by day. These men with fear of YHVH says the word that had all things in common and sold everything and divided them among all as anyone have need then they continued in the Spirit with one mind breaking bread from house to house eating whatever was given to them humbly in gladness and with simplicity of their heart. Today were counting what we give to those in one accord with us. Those that sold everything already those seeking the will of the YHVH. We have found favor among many people that have come to us offering their help and willingness to share praise YHVH. If we want this Shavuot to be like the one in Acts or like the one Moses celebrated we have to be in the same heart they were when receiving the gift from YHVH. Torah abiding, in one accord with Messiah Yahshua. Here is where we truly are set apart when we come with all in common not just like the world and the church. We will dwell together in a land that is not ours in booths when we come back to the land that was promised to our fathers, a land that flows with milk and honey no one having house, beds, TV, computers, cars, ect. When we get to this verse this draws a line between our lives and others and between what is ours and what is YHVH's.
