Open the New Testament, second chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. In the first, the risen Christ gives his disciples various instructions. In the second chapter, students gather for the Jewish holiday of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit descends to them, appearing in the form of “tongues of flame” and empowers them to speak different languages, so that the inhabitants of Cappadocia hear the sermons of Jesus in Cappadocian, and the Phrygians in Greek. Some considered it a miracle. Others decided that the apostles drank young wine because they danced, had fun, and spoke strange languages. Then the apostle Peter proclaimed that they were not drunk, but filled with the Holy Spirit. “And in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters will prophesy; and your young men will see visions, and your elders will be enlightened by dreams ... The sun will turn into darkness,and the moon is in the blood, before the day of the Lord, great and glorious, comes. And it will be: everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ” And by the end of the day, three thousand souls joined the Christian church.
