STUDY NOTES
ACTS 2:1-2
BIBLE TEACHER: CLIFTON JONES
SIGNS OF THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT—PART ONE
INTRODUCTION
In a previous message we studied the Promise of God the Father to send the Holy Spirit
And the promise of Jesus to send the Holy Spirit and how often their promises were given
We saw how important the fulfillment of their promise really was
We studied the results and the benefits of the Coming of the Holy Spirit
Acts 2 is a most important study of scripture, truths that we need to learn as Christians today
Learning of the ministry of the Holy Spirit in the early church is important to us today
We must learn what the Holy Spirit wants to do and will do in our life today
Too often the present ministry of the Holy Spirit is a neglected study for Baptist churches
The ministry of our individual life and the ministry of the church depends upon His ministry
We must learn the truth of a verse that we will refer to many times in our study of Acts,
Eph 5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
Through our study in Acts we will learn the meaning of “be filled with the Spirit”
THE DAY OF PENTECOST
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one
place.
At the time of His ascension Jesus told the disciples to wait in Jerusalem, Act 1:4 And, being assembled
together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Jesus had told them what they were waiting for, Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall
be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
Jesus did not tell them how long they would have to wait, He said it would be in a few days
Jesus had promised to send the Spirit after He had ascended back to the Father, Joh 16:7
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter
will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
It had been 10 days since the ascension of Jesus
The disciples knew that the coming of the Spirit could now take place
The Day of Pentecost was an annual feast held in Jerusalem, the name Pentecost means “fiftieth”
It was celebrated 50 days after the Feast of First fruits, Lev 23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the
morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths
shall be complete:
The new offering of the wheat harvest looked forward to the coming of the N.T. Church,
Lev 23:16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a
new meat offering unto the LORD.
The day of Pentecost was also known by several other names
Each name represented something special to the Jewish people
Each name placed a special emphasis upon the importance of the feast
Pentecost is also called the “Feast of weeks,” Deu 16:10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the
LORD thy God with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD
thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

Pentecost is also called the “Feast of Harvest,” Exo 23:16 And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy
labours, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year,
when thou hast gathered in thy labours out of the field.
It was a celebration of the harvest, thanking God for His faithfulness to provide
It was also called the “Day of Firstfruits,” Num 28:26 Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a
new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be out, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall
do no servile work:
They gave their first fruits in promise of the whole belonging to God
It was not the same as the “Feast of First Fruits,” which was the third spring feast
The “Feast of First Fruits” was in recognition of God’s provision for that year’s harvest
On the Feast of First Fruits the priest waved a sheaf of grain before the Lord
On the Day of Pentecost, the priest presented two loaves of bread before the Lord
God had instructed them to “bring two loaves of bread for a wave offering,” Lev 23:17 Ye shall bring
out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken
with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
Those two loaves represented the beginning of the N.T. Church
One loaf represented the Jewish believers, the other loaf represented Gentile believers
On the Day of Pentecost, described in Acts 2, there was a great harvest of souls, Act 2:41 Then they that
gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three
thousand souls.
Believers united into the “Body of Christ,” a body of Jews and Gentiles united together,
1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being
many, are one body: so also is Christ.
That which unites all believers into the “Body of Christ” is the “Baptism of the Spirit,”
1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether
we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
What great truths we find in the calendar of Jewish feasts, revealing the Person and work of Jesus
In the Passover we find the picture of the Perfect lamb, His death as the “Lamb of God,”
Joh 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world.
Jesus was crucified during the Passover week
Passover pictured the cross of Jesus which delivered us from the slavery of Satan and sin
In the Feast of First Fruits we find the picture of the resurrection of Christ from the dead,
1Co 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.
In the Feast of Pentecost, we find the picture of the formation of the N.T. Church
At Pentecost, the Jews celebrated the giving of the Law
Today, because of the Day of Pentecost, in Acts 2, we celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit
Today we pray for what we call “Pentecostal Power,” today we sing of “Pentecostal Power”
Our prayer is for the Holy Spirit to be in control of our daily life
Pentecostal Power can be ours through the Holy Spirit at any time and any place
The day of Pentecost was fully come,
For many years the Jews had celebrated the Day of Pentecost
But this particular-Day of Pentecost was the one God had appointed, the one God had set aside
God had promised that this day would come, Jesus had promised that this day would come
The “not many days hence” of Acts 1:5 had come
The day for the Coming of the Holy Spirit had arrived
They did not have to wait any longer for the “promise of the Father,” Act 1:4 And, being assembled
together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the
promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

they were all with one accord in one place.
Ten days from the time of His ascension was the Day of Pentecost and the disciples were waiting
They had obeyed Jesus, they waited together in body, mind, heart, will, soul, and love for God
They shared the same desire to be obedient to the words of Jesus
