Subject: Acts 2:33 (*Promise*) |
Bible Note: I agree with what you have said. My only contention then is that in "this" verse Peter refers to the promise, in my view, as the exaltation. This is not to say that also here Peter does not refer to the promised Holy Spirit, he most definitley does; it is what causes the people to see and hear what they do. I am saying that the time line of this verse appears to be wrong. Jesus "recieved" the Holy Spirit at batism. He ascended and was exalted after raising from the dead and speaking with the disciples. So it appears there are at least two promises made to Jesus, who for a time humbled himself, even below the angels. My view is best summed as: Jesus who was promised both the Holy Spirit, which he recieved at baptism, and the Exaltation, has now recieved the second promise, the exaltation, and therefore now gives to us his promise, that being, the Holy Spirit.
