Jesus told His disciples, before He ascended into heaven,
"Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning
at Jerusalem." - Luke 24:46-47 KJV
"And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on
high." - Luke 24:49 KJV
Joel prophesied of the Father’s promise:
"And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour
out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: and also
upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my
spirit." - Joel 2:28-29 KJV
Jesus commanded His disciples,
"…That they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait
for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John
truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not
many days hence." - Acts 1:4-5 KJV
On the Day of Pentecost, as promised, Jesus poured out His
Spirit to those tarrying in an upper room.
"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." -
Acts 2:4 KJV
Peter, standing up with the eleven apostles, told the people
that had gathered,
"This is that which was spoken by the prophet
Joel;" - Acts 2:16 KJV
"Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth
this, which ye now see and hear." - Acts 2:33 KJV
"Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized
every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye
shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God
shall call." - Acts 2:38-39 KJV
It is Time to Receive the Promise!
