00:00Hey, shalom brothers and sisters. Today I want to talk about the book of Acts. I want to talk about the birth of the assembly.
00:10It's in Acts chapter 2. I'm going to read the scriptures to you. It's Peter's sermon, of course, what happened to the apostles
00:17when they were baptized by fire and received the gift of the Holy Spirit and other powers too.
00:26So, chapter 2, I'm just going to read this and discuss it with you.
00:31So, if you have a Bible, get it out and follow along with me or study it later.
00:38Here we go.
00:41And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all in one accord in one place.
00:48Pentecost being a holy day, of course.
00:50Because Yeshua instructed him before ascending to heaven where to go, what to do, wait for the Holy Spirit, things like that.
00:58And that's what they did.
01:00And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
01:08A big rumbling, a wind. It's like, maybe like a tornado.
01:11And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like as the fire, and it sat upon each of them.
01:20So, yeah, they were on fire. Their tongues were on fire too.
01:23And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with each other's tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.
01:31So, they started speaking in other tongues too, in other languages, not just the ones that are native languages.
01:36And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven.
01:45So, there's a lot of Jews and some other Israelites, you know, from other tribes.
01:50They was all over the known civilized world.
01:53They came to Jerusalem to worship at that time.
01:56Now, when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together and were confounded because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
02:08So, the apostles were speaking in their languages, different languages, you know, from the, you know, the kingdom of Elam, the Mesopotamia, you know, the Greek areas, things like that.
02:22And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these men which speak Galileans?
02:31And how hear we every man in our own tongue whereon we were born?
02:38You know, you got Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and then Judea, and Cappadocia, Pontius, and Asia.
02:50And then he says other countries here, even in the Roman province, Cretes, and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of Elohim.
03:07And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? What does this mean?
03:16Others, mocking, said these men are full of new wine.
03:19So, meaning they thought they were drunk, you know, but even if they were drunk, they wouldn't excuse them from, you know, talking in their language.
03:28They'd probably be gibberish in their own tongues.
03:31But, no, they were speaking in the tongues of these other people, the languages.
03:35But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said unto them,
03:40You men of Judea, and all you that dwell in Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words.
03:48For these are not drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is, but the third hour of the day.
03:54So, the third hour of the day, you know, they wouldn't be drinking so early, you know, in the morning.
04:00They wouldn't be drinking that early, anyways.
04:02But this is at which were spoken by the prophet Joel.
04:05And you can look that up in Joel chapter 2, verse 28.
04:09You can sidetrack that.
04:10And that shall come to pass in thy last days, saith Yahweh, I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesize, and your young men shall see visions, and the old men shall dream dreams.
04:31So, you're going to be seeing visions, and dreaming is a prophecy.
04:36And on my servants, and on my handmaidens, I will pour out in those days of my spirit, and they shall prophesy.
04:47And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath, blood and fire and vapor of smoke.
04:55The sun shall turn into darkness, and the moon into blood before the great day and notable day of Yahweh come.
05:06And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call upon the name of Yahweh shall be saved.
05:12You men of Israel, hear these words.
05:16Yeshua of Nazareth, the man approved of Elohim.
05:20Among you, the miracle that wonders and signs which Elohim did.
05:25By him in the midst of you, as you yourselves also know.
05:31Him being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of Elohim, you have taken, and by wicked hands have impaled and slain him.
05:43Whom Yahweh hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
05:51For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw Yahweh always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved.
06:05And that's Psalms chapter 16, verses 8 through 11.
06:11Therefore, did not my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad and bore over?
06:21Also my flesh shall rest in hope, because thou wilt not leave my soul in the grave, neither shalt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption.
06:32You're talking about a resurrection here, not just, well, Yeshua's resurrection, of course, not seeing corruption of the body, but, you know, everybody, all the others too, you know, the other saints and believers.
06:44Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt make me full of joy with thine cauldrons.
06:52Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
07:03Okay, so he's, David, he's not up in heaven, he's not up in heaven playing his harp, he's dead, he's in the ground, and he's waiting for the resurrection.
07:13He's in a restful sleep, a deep sleep, not a dream sleep, but restful.
07:17Therefore, being a prophet, knowing that Elohim had sworn an oath to him, that of all the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Messiah to sit on his throne.
07:32And seeing this before, spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither his flesh did see corruption.
07:42This Yeshua hath Yahweh raised up, whereof we all are witness.
07:51Therefore, being by the right hand of Elohim exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this which you now see and hear.
08:03For David is not ascended to heaven, like I said, is not ascended to the heavens, but he hath himself, Yahweh, said unto my master,
08:11Set thou on my right hand, until I make thy foes thy footstool.
08:18Therefore, let all the house of Israel know, surely, that Elohim hath made the same Yeshua, both have impelled, and both master and Messiah.
08:31Now, when they heard this, they were pricked in their hearts, and said unto Peter, and to the arrest of the apostles,
08:38Men and brethren, what shall we do?
08:41And here's the clincher right here, here's the key piece right here.
08:45Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Yeshua, Messiah, for the remissions of sins,
08:52and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
08:55For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that is far off, even as many as Yahweh or Elohim shall call.
09:08And with many other words did he testify and extort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
09:17Then they that gladly received his word were baptized, and that same day, and were added unto them about 3,000 souls.
09:28So, 3,000 souls repented, and they were baptized.
09:313,000 people.
09:33That's a huge crowd.
09:34I'm not sure if that's everybody in there.
09:36I mean, if not, it could have been up to 5,000 to 7,000 people up there, and only 3,000 are baptized.
09:42I mean, it doesn't give a specific number of the crowd, but 3,000 were baptized.
09:49And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship and the breaking of the bread and the prayers.
09:57And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles.
10:02It's not documented exactly what these signs and wonders were that they did.
10:08And, you know, probably healing and things like that, you know, not just talking in the tongues, but healing and stuff like that.
10:15And the philosophies he was saying, and all that believed were together and had all things common.
10:23And sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men as every man had need.
10:28And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart.
10:40Praising Elohim and having favor with all the people, and the master added to his assembly daily.
10:47So he's adding daily, such as should be saved.
10:51He was adding daily.
10:52So this was the birth of the assembly of Yeshua.
10:57And in his powerful words, the apostles, including Peter, you know, mainly Peter, he had a profound message.
11:06And these people were pricked in their hearts.
11:08They were, it touched them.
11:10They couldn't believe it, you know, and they were all stricken.
11:13And they just asked, what do we do?
11:15Repent and be baptized, Peter's reply.
11:17And Peter, Peter sat there and guided them and told them, and 3,000 souls were baptized because of that.
11:25Repented, they were baptized, sold their possessions, gave to the needy.
11:30They all became one body, one accord, and following Yeshua's teachings.
11:36And that was the birth of the assembly, or the church.
11:41And that was an amazing tale.
11:44Well, that was, you know, it was an amazing story because, you know, the Holy Spirit not only touched the apostles and, you know, rocked their world, you know, the power pricked the bystanders and the people.
12:01And they were amazed, but they were touched by it.
12:05And Yahweh was doing the callings, you know, and called them, and they responded in a positive way.
12:12But, you know, I just wanted to share the birthday because happy birthday to the, you know, true assembly of Yahweh, of course, and Pentecost.
12:23And with that said and done, I thank you again for stopping by.
