Dr. Michael S. Heiser // Acts 2:1-21

Dr. Heiser unpacks Acts 2:1–21, explaining the Pentecost background; the arrival and visible signs of the Spirit (wind, tongues of fire, speaking in languages); how the event reverses Babel’s divisions and demonstrates God’s new work for all nations; Peter’s use of Joel’s prophecy to interpret the phenomenon as fulfillment rather than drunkenness; and the theological implications for repentance, baptism, and the emergence of the early church as a prophetic, Spirit-empowered community.
