1 | When and where was the Pentecost? | Acts 2:1 | sam84 | 203982 | ||
What day was the Pentecost? Was it on Sunday? Also where were the believers gathered, is it inside the church or in someone's house? | ||||||
2 | When and where was the Pentecost? | Acts 2:1 | Tamara Brewington | 203983 | ||
Dear Sam, Penetcost took place in Jerusalem in a house, probably a big house, because Acts 1:12-15 says there were over 120 person gathered who were waiting. Then Acts 2:1-12 says they were still gathered in a house when the Holy Spirit fell. To add to that what happened was loud because they had to be heard outside as the text says that men hearing the sound came a crowd from outside came together where they were 120 or so were gathered inside. It is possible the whole shebang moved outside but the text doesn't say, but 120 plus is a whole lot to have in somebodies house in the first place and then that men from every nation under heaven showed up, well you get the idea... God Bless, Tamara | ||||||

Tamara, the house was big, but Acts 2:41, the house wasn't that big. However in Acts 2:15 it was around 9am. So, the holy men of God were gathered together for "Shavuot" (pentecost). Shavuot is traditionally practiced by praying all night (without sleeping) then going to the temple for a reading of the law. I am going to make a couple of assumptions. Reading the "Tora" probobly took most of the day(it's long), so you would most likely head to the temple pretty early. So I am going to guess and say that they were filled with the Holy Spirit while they wre praying all night. At around 9am (after they recieved the promise Jesus told them to wait for) they headed off to the temple, since they still were following the Jewish traditions. So, and I'm guessing, when Peter began prophesying they were either on there way to the temple or already there. |

OK Mike I am so confused by how this site appears to work! Help a gal out... How were you able to answer for Sam? I answered Sam and then you answered me? Good night I don't mind a bit, but perhaps this has to do with threads? Which I cannot seem to find? Tamara | ||||||

Dear Tamara, It looks like a bit that you are playing "guess who?" I am a CI (computer idiot) but I found this web site simple and easy for me to handle and it is user friendly for me, too. Try this one as a demo. Click on the subject title "When and where was the Pentecost" on the main page, scroll down to the bottom, you see a number of posts attached to this title thread. I believe while you were expecting an answer from Sam, whom you have responded to, Mike jumped in to give his comment. Then you replied to Sam as you thought it was him. Funny that Mike answered you instead of clarifying it. Did I make it clear or just causing more confusion? :-) Shalom Azure |
