Subject: Why was the Holy Spirit delayed? |
Bible Note: The delay in Acts 2 was because it was to be poured out on the day of Pentecost fulfilling the prophetic shadow of Old Testament feast days as all the OT feast days and temple ordinances are shadows of a greater reality. I understood the question to be about why the Samaritans did not recieve it until later, and there is no reason to call it a delay but a progression of the continual world evangelism still ongoing. |
